The template

This agreement governs the supply of temporary workers by a staffing firm to a client. It defines the commercial terms — bill rate, timesheets, invoicing, conversion — and draws the line between the staffing firm's responsibilities as employer of the workers and the client's responsibilities at the worksite.

1. Parties and scope

Client company name (the "Client") engages Staffing firm name (the "Staffing Firm") to supply temporary workers ("Assigned Workers") for assignments the parties confirm in writing, starting on Effective date. Each assignment confirmation states the role, expected duration, schedule, worksite or remote arrangement, and bill rate.

2. Employment status and classification

  1. Assigned Workers are employees or engaged contractors of the Staffing Firm, not of the Client. The Staffing Firm is responsible for recruitment, engagement terms, wage payment, required withholdings and contributions, applicable insurance, and lawful classification of each Assigned Worker.
  2. The Client will not treat Assigned Workers as its employees, will not pay them directly, and will direct any engagement-terms question to the Staffing Firm.
  3. Each party will promptly notify the other of anything that could affect a worker's classification or the lawfulness of an assignment.

3. Worksite responsibilities

  1. The Client supervises the day-to-day work, provides a safe working environment and any site-specific training and equipment, and applies its workplace conduct rules to Assigned Workers while on assignment.
  2. The Client will not materially change an Assigned Worker's duties, location, or schedule from the assignment confirmation without agreeing it with the Staffing Firm first.

4. Rates, timesheets, and invoicing

  1. The Client pays the bill rate stated in each assignment confirmation. The standard markup over the worker's base pay rate is Markup percentage, and overtime is billed as stated here: Overtime billing terms.
  2. Assigned Workers record time on the agreed timesheet system. The Client approves or disputes timesheets within Timesheet approval window; approved time is invoiced and undisputed portions are payable within Payment terms of the invoice date.
  3. The bill rate covers wages, the Staffing Firm's employment costs, and its margin. Rate changes required by changes in law or mandated benefits are passed through at cost with written notice.

5. Conversion to direct hire

  1. If the Client engages an Assigned Worker directly, or through another party, during an assignment or within Conversion protection period after the last day of assignment, the Client pays a conversion fee of Conversion fee.
  2. The parties may agree in writing to reduce the conversion fee based on hours already billed for that worker.

6. Replacement and early ending

  1. If an Assigned Worker is unsuitable, the Client may end the assignment with one business day's notice. If notice is given within the first Replacement window of the assignment, the Staffing Firm will offer a replacement and credit the unsuitable worker's first day.
  2. Either party may end an assignment with the notice stated in its confirmation; ending one assignment does not end this agreement.

7. Confidentiality and data

Each party keeps the other's non-public information confidential and uses it only under this agreement. Worker personal data is shared only as needed to run assignments and is handled by both parties in line with applicable data protection law.

8. Term, termination, and general

  1. This agreement runs until either party ends it with thirty days' written notice. Active assignments continue to their agreed end unless also terminated, and sections 4, 5, and 7 survive for amounts and protection periods still running.
  2. The parties are independent contractors. This is the entire agreement on its subject; changes must be written and signed. It is governed by the law of Governing law jurisdiction.
