The wage rates for each position you require will vary depending upon the requirements you set for the position. These rates are set at the time of the initial discussion with our representative. The variance will depend upon the requirements of the experience and background needed, or if it is an entry level position and you will be training the manpower. Once established, the rates do not change unless the work level or duties change.

You will inform us of the total hours worked for each person and record it on the time sheets provided any person exceeding forty hours will automatically be calculated at the 1 ½ x the rate.

We would appreciate knowing your vacation period and shut down periods at least two weeks in advance of the closing time, in order for us to communicate this to our personnel. Also, let us know if there are any changes in the work schedule for the start-up period once it begins again.

Should there be a problem with this schedule at any time, please give us ample warning so that we can make adjustments in our pay periods. There is a late charge of 5% on any late payments.

Workplace Safety:

Pursuant to Federal and State Law, employers must inform their employees of the potential existence of all hazards including hazardous substances, which exist in the work place. Since you, as a temporary contract service employer, control the workplace environment, it will be necessary for you to provide the information for each temporary employee whom you may employ. This should be done on the first day of the employees' work experience with you. It is therefore essential that orientation and training take place regarding the existence of any hazardous substances with which the employee may come on contact. It would also be important to provide the temporary employee with the knowledge of fire plan and fire exits in the event of an emergency requiring evacuation of the building.

Transportation:

Transportation is provided to our staff and guaranteed to the company at any point where we have six or more employees going to the same plant at the same time. Should there be fewer than six employees, we endeavor to have the employees provide their own transportation for the shifts that they are working.

Temp to Permanent: An employee may convert from Temporary status to Permanent status at any point after 120 days starting employment at your facility, and without any charge to make the conversion. The change to permanent status must be made by a letter request directly to our office.

Should you find an employee that you really want to join your staff on a fast track basis, the following fee will be applicable to cover our costs and will be charged to you for the early conversion.

Conversion:

Please let us know in advance when you would like to make this early conversion to permanent status.

Our Resources:

The personnel we utilize are basically our primary resource and we therefore guard them very carefully so that nothing will interfere with this working relationship. We therefore ask that you not attempt to subvert our efforts to find these people employment by terminating them for our services and then offering employment through your own company. We want to work with you to the best of our ability, but should differences occur on this type of situation, rest assured we will be in communication with you to resolve the issues.

Personnel which are provided work to be completed at home ("HOMEWORK") and then expected to return the product or services to the workplace the next day with the finished product, is considered as temporary employment work as well. this will be billable as a service from New England Employment Network, Inc., and will be included in our weekly invoice to you

Indirect Recruiting:

When you utilize our services for personnel needs, the man-power we provide may have access to other family members or friends whom they may know may be suitable for the positions you may have open. We would prefer you to make all such contacts through our office. Please refrain from seeking employee sources from our employees on the basis of a "Gentleman's Agreement", thus avoiding competitive market pools for potential employees. This request is made to bridge any potential disagreements between our organizations.
