The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003 (the Conduct Regulations) require Terms of Business to contain specified terms. Failure to include the terms can lead to the contract being unenforceable and a Recruitment Sector business being unable to recover its fees.

It is also important to ensure that the Terms of Business set out the parties responsibilities and exclude liability for matters outside of the Recruitment Sector businesses’ control. This is particularly important if supplying drivers or staff to a regulated sector such as healthcare.

Our precedent terms ensure compliance with the Conduct Regulations. They are also drafted with the benefit of hindsight that we have achieved through handling some 1500 recruitment disputes.

A well managed business, regardless of sector, also needs clear purchasing procedures and terms so as to minimise the risk of being “caught” by suppliers’ small print. We can provide our clients with purchase terms and associated procedures so that they can ensure that they contract with their suppliers on their terms.
