Starting an Assignment

At the beginning of your assignment your supervisor will show you what duties you are required to perform. As a temp you should not take on additional tasks unless requested by your supervisor. You must obey any lawful and reasonable instructions given by your supervisor.

Your supervisor should also provide:

• Training about any potential risks
• Training in the use of machinery, equipment and safety gear if required
• Training in fire drill and evacuation procedures

Keeping in Contact

Whilst on assignment your consultant will maintain contact with you on a regular basis. Please call your consultant on your first day to inform them of your contact number.

Finishing an Assignment

Most temporary assignments will have an “end date” but often go beyond that. Whilst on assignment you are in the best position to market yourself and potentially extend your existing assignment or even start a new one in the same company. Please make sure you inform your consultant of any extensions to your assignment or if you have been offered something else.

If you do finish on the expected date then speaking to your consultant a week before finishing is always a good idea so that they can start looking for your next assignment with The One Umbrella.

We also need to make sure that our systems reflect that you have finished so that you are not contacted by payroll chasing missing timesheets.

In Between Assignments

Please keep in contact with your consultant informing them of your availability. We will assume you are available unless we here otherwise and may keep trying to contact you with further opportunities.

If you accept another assignment elsewhere or take a permanent job please let us know straight away. Also if you have learnt a new skill it is always a good idea to send us an updated resume.
