We will contact your consultant at the agency or client coordinating your first assignment to arrange for the contract paperwork to be issued. This will be done at your request and straight away if required.
Day to Day Service
Phone calls
We realise how frustrating platform based call centres are so a ‘real’ person always answers the phone.
Emails/Website Messages
We understand the inconvenience caused by waiting for a reply to a query, so our policy is to answer emails / messages within 4 hours if received during business hours (09.00-16.30) the same day if received before 16.30.
Invoices sent same day
Invoices will be sent to the agency (or end client) the same day, if your online timesheet is submitted to us before 16.30, Monday to Friday.
Confirmation of Payment
You will be emailed a payslip on the same day your payment is processed and your homepage on the online portal will be updated to indicate which invoice(s) have been paid.
Credit control
Your Contract Manager will provide a credit control service free of charge, at your request for unpaid or underpaid invoices.
Secure Employee area
The employee’s area is secured via SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology, so your privacy is guaranteed.
