Starting an Assignment

Before commencing your new assignment, please find below a list of helpful points clarifying the protocol of temporary work.

From the commencement of your assignment with Morgan Jones you are officially one of our employees.  This means that any change of circumstance which inhibits your performance, needs to be notified to us as soon as possible, i.e. if you are unable to attend work due to sickness. We have 24hr answer phone facility and emergency contact number so you can always leave a message. You will also need to notify Morgan Jones of any holiday which you intend to book so that this can be authorised with your line manager in advance and documented accordingly.  If you have any other issues that need to be addressed during your assignment you must also notify us so that we can take appropriate action.

1. You will be given a Contract of Employment, if there is anything that is unclear to you, please contact us.  Please sign both copies of the Contract, keeping one copy for your records and returning one to us as soon as possible.  We will also need a P45, if you do not have one, please complete the P46. It is very important that we have your national insurance number.

2. You will be given a timesheet, in order to make a note of the hours that you work.  As a temporary employee your lunch break is not included in your hours of work.  On the last working day of your week, your line manager will need to confirm the hours you worked by signing your completed timesheet.  You then need to fax or send the timesheet back to us before 10.30 on Monday morning. This is your responsibility. If we do not receive your timesheet in time for the payment run, we will be unable to pay you until the following week.

3. On Monday morning the payroll is processed.  If you have any queries or you have been unable to get your timesheet signed please call Kim our Accounts Manager between 9-10.30.

4. Your wages will be paid directly into your bank account the week after you have worked and this will clear into your account on Thursday. If you do not have a bank account, we will be happy to pay you by cheque until you are able to set up an account.  On Monday you will be sent a payslip along with a timesheet for the following week.

5. All employees of Morgan Jones will be responsible for reporting all accidents, incidents and near misses to the clients on site representative and to Morgan Jones. Copies of all completed site forms must be sent to Morgan Jones. A copy of an accident report form must also be completed which is available on request from our offices.

6. Details of two referees must be provided prior to commencing.

7. If your contract comes to an end and you require a P45 please call Kim on a Monday or Tuesday and she will get one sent to you within the week.

Good luck in your new job!
