1. STATUS OF THIS AGREEMENT
This Agreement governs your engagement from time to time by the Company as a casual worker. This is not an employment contract and does not confer any employment rights on you (other than those to which workers are entitled). In particular, it does not create any obligation on the Company to provide work to you and by entering into this Agreement you confirm your understanding that the Company makes no promise or guarantee of a minimum level of work to you and you will work on a flexible “as required” basis. It is the intention of both you and the Company that there be no mutuality of obligation between the parties at any time when you are not performing an assignment.
2. COMPANY’S DISCRETION AS TO WORK OFFERED
It is entirely at the Company’s discretion whether to offer you work, and it is under no obligation to provide work to you at any time.
The Company reserves the right to give or not give work to any person at any time and is under no obligation to give any reasons for such decisions.
3. NO PRESUMPTION OF CONTINUITY
Each offer of work by the Company which you accept shall be treated as an entirely separate and severable engagement (an assignment). The terms of this Agreement shall apply to each assignment but there shall be no relationship between the parties after the end of one assignment and before the start of any subsequent assignment.
The fact that the Company has offered you work, or offers you work more than once, shall not confer any legal rights on you and, in particular, should not be regarded as establishing an entitlement to regular work or conferring continuity of employment.
4. ARRANGEMENTS FOR WORK
If the Company wants to offer you any work, it will notify you by email or text message and you will be told the location, timings and pay rate for the assignment along with the job role for that event. You are under no obligation to accept any work offered by the Company at any time. However, if you accept an assignment, you must inform the Company immediately if you will be unable to complete it for any reason. The company reserves the right to cease offering work should you fail to complete an assignment which you have accepted.
The Company reserves the right to terminate an assignment at any time for operational reasons. You will be paid for all work done during the assignment up to the time it is terminated.
5. WORK
The Company may offer you work from time to time. The precise description and nature of your work may be varied with each assignment, and you may be required to carry out other duties as necessary to meet business needs. You will be informed of the requirements at the start of each assignment.
Before offering you an assignment the Company will require certain documents from you in order to satisfy itself that you are legally entitled to work in the UK.
You confirm that you are legally entitled to work in the UK without any additional immigration approvals and agree to notify the Company immediately if you cease to be so entitled at any time.
6. PLACE OF WORK
The Company may offer you work at various locations. You will be informed of the relevant place of work for each assignment and any necessary travel arrangements. Where the transport to a location is provided by the Company, this service must be treated respectfully whilst travelling to and from an event, and Company rules complied with.
7. HOURS OF WORK
Your hours of work will vary depending on the operational requirements of the Company. You will be informed of the required hours for each assignment.
You will be entitled to an unpaid lunch break of 20 minutes where your assignment requires you to work more than six hours in any one day.
8. WORKING TIME OPT-OUT
Please complete the attached form to confirm whether you wish to opt-out of the 48-hour limit on a week's work. If you do not opt out, the Company must ensure that it does not offer you work which would result in you working for more than 48 hours in any week. You must keep the Company informed of the hours that you work for third parties so that it can comply with this obligation.
9. PAY
You will only be paid for the hours that you work. The hourly pay rates vary according to the job role you are assigned to. All current hourly pay rates are available in writing from the Human Resources Department.
It is your responsibility to ensure all relevant identification documentation is uploaded to our portal to allow us to process your hours with our payroll company. Payment of your first wages can take upto 28 days after your information has been uploaded. After your first payment has been made you will be paid in arrears within 14 days of each assignment directly into your bank account .
The Company will make all necessary deductions from your salary as required by law (including any pension contributions which may be required to be deducted for auto-enrolment purposes) and shall be entitled to deduct from your pay or other payments due to you any money which you may owe to the Company at any time including any sum(s) reflecting the cost of rectifying any damage you have caused to Company property.
10. HOLIDAYS
You are entitled to the equivalent of 5.6 weeks’ holiday during each holiday year (including all bank holiday entitlements), calculated on a pro rata basis depending on the number of hours that you actually work. Your holiday entitlement is therefore equivalent to 12.07% of the hours that you actually work in each holiday year (up to a maximum of 224 hours).
11. SICKNESS
If you have accepted an offer of work but are subsequently unable to work the hours agreed, you must notify Human Resources or your Event Manager of the reason for your absence as soon as possible but no later than thirty minutes before your start time of an assignment.
If you satisfy the qualifying conditions laid down by the law, you will be entitled to receive statutory sick pay (SSP) at the current rate in respect of any period of sickness or injury during an assignment, but you will not be entitled to any other payments from the Company during such period.
12. DATA PROTECTION

For the purposes of this clause, confidential information means any information or matter which is not in the public domain and which relates to the affairs of the Company or any of its business contacts.
The restriction in this clause does not apply to:(a)prevent you from making a protected disclosure within the meaning of section 43A of the Employment Rights Act 1996; or
(b)use or disclosure that has been authorised by the Company or is required by law or in the course of your duties.
15. COMPANY PROPERTY

Any Company property in your possession and any original or copy documents obtained by you in the course of your work for the Company shall be returned to your line manager at any time on request and in any event at the end of each assignment.
16. SEARCHES
We reserve the right to conduct searches for alcohol, drugs or Company property (which has not been provided for your use by the Company), including, but not limited to, searches of all Company property and premises including but not limited to lockers, filing cabinets, desks, Company vehicles, accommodation provided by the Company and packages sent to the Company’s address.
Any alcohol, drugs or Company property (which has not been provided for your use by the Company) found as a result of a search will be confiscated and the Company may terminate this Agreement.
Any failure to co-operate with a reasonable request by the Company to conduct a search may result in the Company terminating this Agreement.
17. TERMINATION
If you wish your name to be removed from the Company’s casual worker data base or you no longer wish to be considered for casual work by the Company, you should inform the Human Resources Department as soon as possible.
The Company may remove your name from its casual worker data base at any time and/or if you are unable to accept an assignment on three consecutive occasions.
The Company may terminate this Agreement immediately by giving notice in writing to you if it reasonably considers that you have committed any serious breach of its terms or committed any act of gross misconduct. Non exhaustive examples of gross misconduct include dishonesty, theft, fighting, misuse of drugs or alcohol or any other acts or omissions which might bring the Company into disrepute.
18. CHANGING TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The Company may review its requirement for casual workers from time to time and/or may update the terms on which it offers such work. In the event of any changes to the terms on which it is prepared to engage casual workers, the Company may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect by giving notice in writing to you, and you may, at the Company's absolute discretion, be offered a new agreement for casual work. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company decides to terminate this Agreement you will not be entitled to any further payments from the Company other than any outstanding salary and holiday pay.
19. TOTALITY OF TERMS
This Agreement is intended to fully reflect the intentions and expectations of both parties as to our future dealings and in the event of any dispute regarding your engagement as a casual worker by the Company it shall be regarded as a true, accurate and exhaustive record of the terms on which we have agreed to enter into a casual work relationship.
