You shall:
These terms shall apply to each and every occasion on which You use the Platform. Each Assignment shall constitute a separate and divisible contract.
The Agency Worker Regulations (AWR) was established to give agency workers the right to the same basic employment and working conditions as if they had been recruited directly by a company.
From Day 1 of a placement you are automatically entitled to have access to collective amenities and facilities, such as a staff canteen or car parking (unless there are particular circumstances where these cannot be made available). The organisation is also required to give you access to information for relevant job vacancies within the company. If you have any queries relating to what is available, please contact your recruitment consultant.
After you have worked in the same role with the same client for 12 weeks, you will qualify for equal treatment in respect of pay and basic working conditions, including annual leave, as if you were directly employed by the client. You can accumulate these weeks even if you only work a few hours a week. However, if you start a new assignment with the same employer which is substantially different or there is a break of six calendar weeks in the same job then the ‘qualifying clock’ is reset. If your role substantially changes, your recruitment consultant will inform you of your new duties.
Whenever you are booked in to a job, we will ask you about any previous shifts you have worked with the client in order for us to monitor the 12 week qualifying period for you and to help establish when you are entitled to equal treatment.

In case of interview conducted remotely, Altrix will set up a video call between the candidate and the interviewer. This call will be recorded, and the video will be kept in the candidate’s file as evidence of interview completed.
During onboarding, Altrix may be required to share the personal details and/or documents that you have provided to us, so that we can validate their authenticity.
By registering with Altrix you consent to the remote interview terms and to us carrying out such checks, which include but are not limited to:
In certain circumstances it may also be necessary to share your data, however Altrix will only share your personal data where there is a legitimate reason to do so.
NHS Trusts and Altrix Clients: We will share your personal data with Trusts/clients who you request to work with, and sometimes third parties associated with those clients, but only with your permission.
