Temping Information - Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get paid?
To guarantee the payment of your wages each week, you must ensure that your timesheet is completed, signed and returned to Kings, by 2pm each Monday. Wages will be paid into your bank account each Wednesday, following the week you work. In the case of a long weekend, your time sheets must reach us by 10am on Tuesday morning for payment on Thursday. Your hourly rate is highly confidential (a condition of your employment) - as such you should only discuss it with your Recruitment Consultant.
What if I am sick?
Call your consultant by 8am or earlier if possible, so that they can inform the client and find a replacement if necessary. Sick leave is not paid for separately, as there is already an element included in your hourly rate.
Can I get time off?
We would not expect you to need time off in short-term assignments (ie less than a week or two). If you are attending interviews for permanent jobs, they should be made outside of normal business hours where possible. Otherwise, always check with your Kings Recruitment Consultant first, (not the client), no matter how little time off is needed, so that we can liaise with the client.
What if I miss the timesheet deadline?
Call your consultant immediately! No guarantees though - no timesheet - no pay!
What should I do if I have any OSH concerns/identify a possible health hazard/injure myself whilst working at a client?
Talk to your Supervisor and call your Kings Recruitment Consultant as soon as possible! Your Consultant will advise you on the best course of action to take depending on the circumstances.
What if I don't like the assignment / company / colleagues / location etc?
Call your Recruitment Consultant. They are your best option to sort out any problems effectively and objectively - no matter how trivial it may seem. Talk to your Kings Recruitment Consultant first.
What do I wear?
Your Recruitment Consultant should tell you what the environment is like before you commence, but if you are not sure, err on the conservative, until you are better informed and can see the general level of presentation for yourself.
Can I use my mobile phone?
Of course you can, but not on the client's time! Make sure you get a voice mail facility set up. You can turn the phone off while you are hard at work and get your messages during breaks. All personal calls should be kept to emergencies only or at least with your supervisor's permission.
Will you look for permanent work for me while I am temping?
Absolutely - as long as we know that's what you want! Make sure your Kings Recruitment Consultant understands your needs.
Can temporary work add value to my career?

-

-
Make sure you add details of each assignment to your resume, including what the objectives were and how you achieved them
-
You are given exposure to different working environments and opportunities
