Any worker who has been evaluated and determined to meet the legal requirements to perform work as an Independent Contractor (IC) (See Independent Contractor (IC – Not SOW))
A concept within the UK Agency Workers Regulations (See
“Agency Workers
Regulations”) that provides for a number of circumstances in which breaks in the assignment of a
temporary agency worker do not prevent them from completing the 12-week qualifying period upon which
they benefit from parity in basic employment and working conditions with equivalent permanent workers.
These provisions can best be explained by thinking of the qualifying period as a clock that runs from 0 to 12.
Sometimes a gap between assignments – or a move to a new assignment - will mean that the clock is reset
to 0 and must start again. In other circumstances a break will merely ‘pause’ the clock, which will then
continue to tick when the agency worker returns. In some limited circumstances, the clock will continue to
tick even if the agency worker is not working on an assignment.
Conducted on a quarterly basis with strategic suppliers and or MSPs,
this is a review of the contingent program ongoing business plans and program objectives. The goal of these
meetings is to address new business issues and opportunities and provide project status updates on existing
ones. Operations and planning staff oversee and review project timelines and budgets, as well as address
audit and compliance issues. Follow up action items are then defined and delegated.
