Terms & Conditions

1. BASIC TERMS

These Terms & Conditions of Business are between Redline Group Ltd  (hereinafter called Redline) and the Employer/Client (hereinafter called the Client), and are deemed to be accepted by the Client by virtue of an interview or the engagement (which term includes employment or use, whether under a contract of service or for services, or where an Applicant is retained by the Client in a personal or corporate capacity as agent or distributor for the Client) of an Applicant howsoever introduced by Redline within a period of 18 months from the date of introduction.
a) The Client agrees to notify Redline immediately an Applicant is engaged and to supply copies of all correspondence to any Applicant introduced to the Client by Redline.
b) The word ‘introduction’ means, for the avoidance of doubt, the presentation of an Applicant by Redline to the Client for ‘Engagement’ (as defined above).  This applies whether or not the Client knew of the Applicant previously or the Applicant was known prior to introduction by the Client.
c) An interviewer warrants that he or she is duly authorised to agree these terms on behalf of his firm or principal or employer as the case may be.
d) All accounts and charges are payable within 21 days for placement fees. Charges and fees for advertising/media are payable within 7 days. Payment should be made to Redline Group Ltd, Building 230, Butterfield Business Park, Great Marlings, Luton, Bedfordshire, LU2 8DL.

g) If any employee of Redline or any of its subsidiary companies is engaged by the Client on a contract, permanent or self-employed basis, these Terms of Business apply.  The Client will be liable to Redline for an introduction fee equivalent to the normal payment fee in the event of permanent employment or equal to 200 times the hourly charge rate applicable to contract staff of the relevant category in which the employee was last employed by Redline.  

2. PERMANENT STAFF

a) Fees are calculated as a percentage of the first year’s gross remuneration; this includes all emoluments that form the gross taxable pay (e.g. shift allowance, guarantee, guaranteed bonus, location weighting, car allowance, on-call allowance and any form of retainer).

In the event of a guarantee or retainer for a period of less than 12 months, the fees shall be calculated on a pro-rata basis as if the guarantee/retainer were for a period of 12 months.  Fees shall be in accordance with the scale detailed below:

Service Fee

Database /  Contingency 25%

Retained / Search 30%
1/3rd on commencement. 
Balance on commencement of Candidate 

b) If the Client or a member of the Client’s staff refers an Applicant introduced by Redline to some other person or body, and that other person or body within 18 months of the introduction of the Applicant engages that Applicant in any capacity whether temporary, permanent or self-employed, the Client will be liable for an introduction fee at our prevailing rates at the date of notification or discovery by Redline if not notified.  Interest at the current Barclaycard rate will be applied from the date of appointment until payment of the invoice, without concession.
c) The Client is responsible for the taking up of references as to the Applicant’s qualifications, capabilities, integrity, medical history and suitability to meet the job specification.  It is also the Client’s responsibility to obtain a work permit for the Applicant wherever necessary.
d) Redline can accept no liability whatsoever on behalf of Clients, their servants or agents for any loss, damage, costs or expenses howsoever casual which the Client may suffer or for which the Client may become liable arising out of or in connection with or as a result of introduction to the Client or the engagement by the client of an Applicant.
