If you make a personal phone call, please be sure it is made ONLY during scheduled lunch/coffee breaks, and with the client’s permission.
Information you are exposed to during your assignments must be considered CONFIDENTIAL. It is mandatory that you do not disclose any of this information. If you anticipate any conflict of interest in being assigned to various companies or departments, please discuss this with your consultant.
If you are given a key to a client’s office, please BE RESPONSIBLE. If you are unable to complete an assignment and have office keys, notify us immediately. DO NOT let them out of your possession.

Tell us immediately if your assignment duties change noticeably. Your pay rate is based on the job description we have been given.

Should you learn of a permanent position with the client, please notify your consultant immediately. We will assist you in the application process.

Please call us on the last day of each assignment to confirm your availability for new assignments.
