TERMS AND CONDITIONS – SHORT TERM ASSIGNMENTS
PAY RATES FOR LONG TERM EMPLOYEES - A SIMPLE GUIDE.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR LONG TERM POSITIONS (OVER 8 WEEKS)
The terms and conditions of business set out below are between Alphabet Childcare Ltd (The Company) and the prospective employer
(The Client) and are to be accepted by The Client on engagement of an applicant introduced by The Company.
The Client agrees to notify The Company immediately an engagement is accepted and to pay the fee of The Company within fourteen days of invoice. The Agency fee is for the engagement of one employee and subsequent employees will be charged at the full fee. In the event of The Client cancelling the agreement of employment after a firm offer has been made, but before the employee has taken up the engagement, then a charge of £99.88 will be made. An invoice will be calculated by The Company as set out in the Scale of Engagement fees below and is payable by The Client on the acceptance and not the commencement of employment.
Should the relevant employment terminate within eight weeks, the fee will be refunded to The Client according to the accompanying scale given, providing that The Client notifies The Company within two working days of the applicant leaving the employment and that the full fee has been paid by The Client within fourteen days of the invoice. Should the Client re-engage the applicant, the full fee will again became payable. In the event of a temporary employee terminating employment within the agreed time scale then a percentage of the fee will be calculated and returned to The Client. However, if The Client terminates the agreement early, then there will not be a refund returned by The Company for the unused period. The Company will calculate the invoice for temporary contracts on the dates given by The Company at the commencement of employment. However, should The Client re-engage the applicant for further periods of employment or extend the original contract dates given to The Company, then a further charge will be payable for the exact period of employment up to the maximum sum as set out in the Scale of Engagement fees.
The Company will endeavour to ensure the suitability of any applicant introduced to The Client but does not accept liability. Therefore, The Client shall be responsible for satisfying him or her self on the suitability of any applicant and shall take up any references provided by the applicant and The Company before engaging the applicant.
The Client shall be responsible for obtaining work and other permits, for the arrangements of insurance, medical examinations and/or investigations into the medical history of any applicant and satisfy any medical and other requirements or qualifications required by law.
All information and introductions are confidential and must not be passed either directly or indirectly to other potential Clients or Applicants. The full fee will be payable by the Client to whom the details were given by The Company if this condition is breached.
An introduction fee will be charged in relation to any applicant engaged as a consequence of, or resulting from an introduction by or through The Company even though the introduction may be made indirectly.
Clients should reimburse all long distance travelling expenses incurred by potential employees who present themselves for interview for residential positions.
The Company does not accept responsibility for any loss or damage resulting from an introduction by The Company or their provision of services, acts, omissions or conduct of such introductions.
With full time and part time staff and temporary staff employed for short term periods, The Company acts as an introducing agent and does not directly or indirectly employ staff.
The Client will be responsible for the deduction and payment of Income Tax and National Insurance and provide the employee with a contract of employment within thirteen weeks of the commencement of employment as required by law.
Alphabet Childcare actively promotes equality of opportunity for all and seeks to prevent discrimination on the basis of race and cultural identity, disability, gender, marital status or religion.
Where a client elects for sole agency advertising the Company shall offer the client a 10% discount on all fees whereby the Company shall act solely for the Client. Subject to the following conditions.
If a firm offer of employment is made and subsequently the client seeks their own client via other means whether that is through another agency or by their own resources the client will be liable for a £99 + VAT administration charge to reflect the companies losses in respect to time, effort and advertising costs associated with sole agency advertising.
The client is duty bound to inform the company at the earliest opportunity should they no longer wish for sole agency advertising.
Employees should be paid according to their age, qualifications and/or experience. For Nannies employed in the West Country, we suggest that the Employee is paid in the region of £8.00 to £10.00 an hour (gross). This is on appointment and all salaries should be reviewed either on a six month or annual basis. For those Nannies entering a Nanny Share Arrangement (i.e. looking after children from more than one set of parents at any one time), it is suggested that they earn in the region of £10 - £12.00 (gross) an hour which is divided between both Employers. Pay is normally reduced by about £31.10 a week for live in Nannies.
There is not much difference between a Nanny's salary and a Nanny / Mother's Help wage, although Mother's Helps tend to be at the lower end of the scale. These employees are usually untrained and will assist the mother in caring for the child/ren. As they are not specialists in child care, Nanny/Mother’s Helps will often help with other domestic duties not associated with child/ren.
Childminders' are self employed and set their own hourly rate, the average being £4.50 per hour. Childminders differ from Nannies in as much as they generally charge per child, per hour, whether or not the children are from the same family. Please call for prices.
The terms and conditions of business set out below are between Alphabet Childcare Ltd (The Company) and the prospective employer (The Client) and are to be accepted by The Client on engagement of an applicant introduced by The Company.
The Client agrees to notify The Company immediately an engagement is accepted and to pay the fee of The Company within fourteen days of invoice. The Agency fee is for the engagement of one employee and subsequent employees will be charged at the full fee.
In the event of The Client cancelling the agreement of employment after requesting The Company to arrange for a Temporary Employee but before the employee has taken up the engagement, the Agency fee will still be payable in full to offset the costs of organising the cover.
An invoice will be calculated by The Company as set out in the Scale of Engagement fees below and is payable by The Client on the acceptance and not the commencement of employment.
In the event of a temporary employee terminating employment within the agreed time scale then a percentage of the fee will be calculated and returned to The Client. However, if The Client terminates the agreement early, then there will not be a refund returned by The Company for the unused period.
The Company will calculate the invoice for temporary contracts on the dates given by The Company at the commencement of employment. However, should The Client re-engage the applicant for further periods of employment or extend the original contract dates given to The Company or offer the applicant a permanent position, then a further charge will be payable for the exact period of employment up to the maximum sum as set out in the Scale of Engagement fees.
The Company will endeavour to ensure the suitability of any applicant introduced to The Client but does not accept liability. Therefore, The Client shall be responsible for satisfying him or her self on the suitability of any applicant and shall take up any references provided by the applicant and the Company before engaging the applicant. If applicable, The Client shall he responsible for obtaining work and other permits, for the arrangements of insurance, medical examinations and/or investigations into the medical history of any applicant and satisfy any medical and other requirements or qualifications required by law.
