In the event of an emergency Eden Scott asks for contact details. I confirm that these individuals have consented to being my contact and providing their personal contact details. I give Eden Scott the authority to contact them in the event of an emergency.

At the same time as an assignment is offered to me, Eden Scott will provide me with a letter (the Assignment Letter) with the following information:

Remuneration and Time Sheets

Subject to me submitting properly authorised timesheets via Eden Scott’s online timesheet system, Eden Scott shall pay to me the rate of pay specified in the relevant Assignment Letter for a particular Assignment. The minimum rate of pay Eden Scott reasonably expects to achieve for me is the lowest rate specified by me. This rate will be subject to review by me and Eden Scott. I will be paid no less than the National Living Wage/National Minimum Wage

Eden Scott shall pay me for all hours worked on a weekly/monthly (which will be agreed and stated on the Assignment Schedule) basis regardless of whether Eden Scott has received payment from the Client for those hours.

Eden Scott shall make no payment to me for hours not worked.

Holiday entitlement will be 5.6 weeks or 28 days to be paid as leave taken pro rata.

Termination

Eden Scott, the Client or I may terminate the assignment at any time by giving one week’s notice. Should a different notice period apply to a particular assignment, this will be specified in the Assignment Letter.

I acknowledge that the continuation of an assignment is subject to and dependent on the continuation of the agreement entered into between Eden Scott and the Client. If that agreement is terminated for any reason, the assignment shall cease with immediate effect without liability to me, except for payment for work done up to the date of termination of the assignment.

Unless exceptional circumstances apply, my failure to inform the Client or Eden Scott of my inability to attend work will be treated as termination of the assignment by me.
