Hi all
Can anyone help please.
We used a temp through an agency back in August. This guy wants to join us, and we would like him to join, but I am unsure whether the agency could still claim an introduction fee for him. I have searched high and low but cannot see anything about timescales.
He last worked 1 shift at the start of August.
Can someone please save me from trawling through pages of the internet!
TIA
It comes down to the agreement in place, as Ray, Maya and Elsa have said. If this occurs again and the person is still temping for the agency, they will find out about it because the person will not be available for any more temp roles and agencies can be very determined in chasing for payment, including taking legal action, as it is unfortunately not unusual for employers to attempt to dodge fees.
You also need to check whether they sent their terms and conditions to anyone else and if that document contains a fee that would apply. I have had T&Cs sent to me with a covering email that states if we do not respond, these are the terms that will apply. I don't know how enforcable that is, but wouldn't want the nuisance of finding out via legal action.
