Temporary Workers
As a Temporary worker with Bailey Employment Services, you might ask what the experience is really like.
As you might expect, to begin with we need to get to know you and you need to understand how we work. We talk about your experience and requirements and, should you join the business, you receive an in-depth briefing to explain your duties and responsibilities whilst working at one of our client's sites. Preparation is all important.
Our ‘take-on’ briefing document has all the information you need for getting started and includes important details covering who to contact, your responsibilities and important procedures such as your contract of employment, time-sheet process, getting paid and rates of pay, health & safety, reporting damaged goods, working time regulations and data protection. We make sure you are told everything you need to know for your work placement.
There’s a lot to consider but we have it all covered for you. Take a look at the attached documents for further details.
