FAQ
HOW DO I REGISTER WITH TEMPJOBS?
Please click on the "register" button, this will take you to a separate page where you are then able to forward us a copy of your CV. One of our consultants will then be in contact with you to arrange a time for you to come in and meet us.
When you come to see us, the more you can bring with you the faster we can place you. Bring with you your CV, Right to Work document, Police check and references and/or the name and number of a referee. If you require a visa to work in the UK, you must bring this with you as well.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Your personal consultant will discuss your skills and preferences, so that they can match you with the right job. Current vacancies will then be checked for suitability.
WHEN WILL YOU HEAR ABOUT JOB OPPORTUNITIES?
If there are not vacancies currently suitable, your consultant will continue to search and contact you immediately they find one. It is also import that you keep in regular contact so you are up to date on current opportunities.
WILL YOU ARRANGE AN INTERVIEW?
Some temporary assignments will require interviews with the client to assist with suitability to the role, team and company.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT TO GET PAID?
Temporary candidates will be paid an hourly rate based on the skills required for your current assignment. Rates are agreed in advance of you starting each assignment through us.
WHEN CAN YOU EXPECT TO GET PAID?
Our working week is Monday to Friday and you will be paid one week in arrears. We will need your bank details as soon as you start working with us. Your payslip will be posted to you each week and your money will be paid directly into your bank account, clearing on Monday.
In order for us to ensure that you are paid correctly and on time, we require you to complete a timesheet on a weekly basis. Timesheets are your responsibility to complete and they must be returned to us no later than 9.30am Monday after the actual week worked. You will then be paid directly in to your bank account the following Monday. If the timesheet is incorrect, incomplete or unsigned, we may be unable to pay your wages. You can download a timesheet from this website.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU NEED TO KNOW?
ASSIGNMENTS
Assignments can be booked for a few hours to a few weeks in length and can be arranged at a day or months notice. We cannot always guarantee work but if you keep in regular contact, the chances of more bookings are greater.
TIME KEEPING
Be on time. The start time we give you is the time you need to be ready for work, NOT the arrival time. As a rule, always be 15 minutes early.
GETTING THERE
We will give you directions to all your assignments but you should always carry our telephone number, just in case.
SICKNESS
In the event that you are unable to attend work through sickness or other absence the Tempjobs office should be contacted along with your employer before your scheduled start time. This procedure must be followed for every day of absence. Any absence period of over 5 days due to sickness must be accompanied by a relevant doctor's certificate.
HOLIDAYS
Please ensure that you give as much advance warning to both Tempjobs and your employer of any holidays that you plan to take.
OUR RELATIONSHIP
Only accept a job if you are available for work. If you do not turn up to your assignment and you haven't let us know, then we will be unable to give you any further work.
We always need to know if you cannot make a booking as soon as possible. If you phone 30 minutes before the assignment is about to start this is too late.
If you are running late, then phone us. If you turn up late to an assignment and you haven't informed us, you may well be turned away.
ENJOY YOURSELVES
The most import part is that you have fun, enjoy yourself and work hard. If you have a particular favourite place, let us know and we will see if we can help to keep you busy and happy at work. If you are unhappy in a particular assignment then always come and talk to us. Don't wait until the problem gets worse - we want to keep you happy.
