CONDITIONS OF WORK (TEMPORARY SALES CONSULTANTS)
BETWEEN BEAUTY CONSULTANTS BUREAU (UK)LLP
(hereinafter called BCB)
and:
_______________________________________________________
Temporary sales consultants are engaged under a contract for
services, the terms of which are set out below and which apply to
each and every assignment For the avoidance of doubt this
contract for service is not a contract of employment.
BCB agrees to offer you opportunities, at your request, to work as a
temporary sales consultant where there is a suitable assignment with
a Hirer (hereinafter called the Client). The suitability of the work will
be determined by BCB. BCB will incur no liability for failing to offer
you any assignments.
As the nature of this work is temporary there may be periods when
no suitable work is available. However, no contract shall exist with
BCB and yourself between assignments.
There is no obligation by BCB to provide, or for you to serve, any
normal number of days in a week.
In the event that you do not attend an assignment you agreed to
commence, the assignment shall terminate unless you can show that
exceptional circumstances prevented you from attending your
assignment.
Where an assignment may be suitable for any number of temporary
sales consultants, BCB reserves the right to decide who to offer the
assignment to.
PAY: BCB shall pay you remuneration calculated on the basis of a
daily rate to be paid weekly through BACS directly into a bank or
building society account.
Your pay is subject to deductions for the purpose of National
Insurance, PAYE, or for any other purpose for which BCB is
required by law to make deductions.
BCB will notify you of commission or bonus that may be applicable
for each assignment. Any payments of commission and/or bonus are
subject to the normal deductions of Tax and NI deductions.
BCB will inform you of any changes to your pay and terms and
conditions where you meet the criteria for completing 12 weeks
continuous service (or the 12 qualifying period as this is often
referred to) with the client by the start or during the relevant
assignment.
BCB undertakes to pay your wages in respect of work successfully
completed, whether BCB is paid or not in respect of that work
However, should you work on the wrong assignment without doing
your utmost to ascertain the correct booking details, then BCB will
only pay you if they are able to secure a payment from the client for
whom you worked.
OVERTIME must be previously authorised and is paid at:
Cover: £9.00 per hour.
Promotion: £10.00 per hour.
BANK HOLIDAYS You will receive payment for working a bank
holiday according to the client’s policy. For further details, please
speak to your Account Manager at BCB. If assignments accepted by
you either side of the Bank Holiday are not completed satisfactorily,
then single time will be paid for the Bank Holiday.
SUNDAYS Hours worked are paid at your normal rate of pay plus a
Sunday supplement of £10.00, which is paid at the client’s discretion.
HOLIDAYS – you are entitled to paid annual leave according to the
statutory holiday entitlement which is 5.6 weeks per annum. The
annual leave year starts from 1 April until 31 March. Your holiday
entitlement is accrued in proportion to the amount of time worked by
you on assignments during the leave year. You will accrue holiday
entitlement at 12.07% of hours worked throughout the year. Due to
Christmas trading and the sale period, you may not take holiday
during November, December and January.
You must apply for your holiday in writing giving notice of at least 2
times the period of the required holiday. All paid annual leave must
be requested via email to your account manager at BCB and taken
within the leave year. Holiday may not be carried forward into the
following leave year. Holidays not taken by the end of the annual
leave period, 31 March will therefore be lost.
.
ASSIGNMENT REPORTS - You are required to submit a fully
completed report sheet signed by your Department or Account
Manager. Failure to submit a report promptly by Tuesday evening
will result in delays to payment of your hours worked. Our clients
operate to strict budgets. Prolonged delays to the submission of your
report may cause problems to our clients. Your pay may be forfeited
after 5 weeks, from the weekending date of the assignment, where
your report has still not been received without reasonable
justification.
