Now that you have accepted your new assignment through BIE, please send us the following information in order for us to draw up your contract:
Once we have received all of your details, we will draw up your contract for signing. If you have any questions regarding the contract, please contact your Business Support Manager (see below for contact details).
When we have received a signed contract from yourself and the client, our finance team will be in touch to confirm your bank details over the telephone and will send log-in details to ETZ, our timesheet portal.
You will receive an Opt Out Notice with your BIE contract.
The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003 as amended ("the Conduct Regulations") govern the conduct of the private recruitment industry and establish a framework of minimum standards that candidates and clients are entitled to expect.
Interims can opt out of the application of the Conduct Regulations (except if the assignment involves working with children, the old or the infirm). Interims cannot opt out in respect of existing “positions” in which they are working (this is the wording in the Conduct Regulations).
Under Regulation 32(9) of the Conduct Regulations, if an interim company and its consultant both agree that the Conduct Regulations should not apply and give notice of that agreement to BIE, this notice is commonly known as an "opt-out notice".
It is the interim company's and consultant's choice whether or not to opt-out and the interim company and consultant should seek their own advice on whether or not to opt-out.
We operate a self-billing invoice system whereby we will draw up an invoice based on submission of your electronic timesheet. Payment runs are made monthly on the 15th (or next working day and are subject to 3 days clearing).
