TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT

By concluding a temporary employment contract no contractual relationship between DAXXA Germany GmbH employees and Hirer will be established.
As temporary employment recruiting agency, AXXAZ Europe GmbH expressly states that all current social benefits for temporary employees provided by AXXAZ Europe GmbH to Hirer are and will be duly paid.
All temporary employees provided by AXXAZ Europe GmbH are accident-insured with the VBG Administrative Professional Association [VBG Verwaltungs-Berufsgenossenschaft]. Hirer is legally required to report any accident in accordance with § 193 SGB VII.
Temporary employees must comply with the working hours of Hirer and execute tasks assigned to them tidily, conscientiously and cleanly in compliance with all applicable legislation. Hirer must fulfill all obligations under the German Occupational Safety and Health Law.
Temporary employees are subject to confidentiality concerning their salary and all business transactions with Hirer.
Implementation of first aid measures with Hirer must be guaranteed.
Hirer is not entitled to any payments (advances, etc.) to temporary employees, as this remains the sole responsibility of AXXAZ Europe GmbH. No liability for any payments to temporary employees will be accepted and any financial settlement is rejected.
Hirer is obliged to observe legal working time regulations, in particular compliance with maximum working hours.
As the temporary employee is working under the supervision and direction of Hirer, AXXAZ Europe GmbH will not be liable for any damages. Same applies to an intentional action, whenever permitted by law. Hirer exempts AXXAZ Europe GmbH from any third party claims which may arise in connection with the execution and performance of activities assigned to temporary employees.
In case of sickness temporary employees may be replaced by AXXAZ Europe GmbH. There is no obligation to do so.
11. In exceptional circumstances, AXXAZ Europe GmbH may resign or defer from an order or a contract. This also includes circumstances of difficult or impossible working conditions (eg by a possibly objection of Hirer’s Board or a strike at Hirer’s company) or non-payment of bills by Hirer. Temporary staff may be withdrawn without notice. Any compensation can not be inferred.
12. According to § 12 AÜG any agreement between Hirer and AXXAZ Europe GmbH must be in writing. This also applies to collateral agreements. By signing the temporary employment contract (AÜV), AXXAZ Europe GmbH conditions will be deemed accepted, even if not expressly confirmed by Hirer, and even in the case different terms will be asserted.
Billing rates are valid plus agreed allowances (eg overtime, night work, Sundays and public holidays, shift work), where applicable material supplies, supply of tools or additional expenses for external assignment of a temporary employee.
In principle, bills are due on a weekly basis based on records signed by Hirer. Hirer is obliged to submit a list of hours worked the previous week at the beginning of each week. If Hirer does not fulfill this obligation and is responsible for this omission, employee records shall be deemed approved; this does not apply in case Hirer provides reasoned objections to the performance record of working hours and the accuracy of the information provided by employee within one week after receipt of the invoice and in writing, thereby presenting his own records.
The invoice amount is due upon receipt of invoice and must be paid without any deduction within the period specified on the invoice. Hirer may offset in accordance with statutory provisions against demands included in the contract. Additional receivables of Hirer can only be offset in case they are undisputed, legally established and/or ready for decision.
AXXAZ Europe GmbH reserves the right to increase its billing rates in the case collective tariff wages should increase after conclusion of this agreement or in case a temporary employee is engaged in employment corresponding to a superior tariff classification.
Hirer is obliged to inform AXXAZ Europe GmbH in advance and in writing of any not expressly agreed assignment abroad and prior to crossing borders of the temporary employee. Hirer is fully liable for consequences of a previously unagreed assignment abroad and is also obliged to exempt DAXXA Germany GmbH from any claims by third parties arising out of the infringement of this duty.
Hirer assures to not employ AXXAZ Europe GmbH employees in a construction company in terms of §§ 211 ff SGB III in conjunction with the German construction companies regulation [Baubetriebe-VO] (incl. asbestos removal), nor to carry out mainly construction services, nor to employ AXXAZ Europe GmbH employees only occasionally or temporarily in a construction management division according to the German construction companies regulation [Baubetriebe-VO] (incl. asbestos removal) in order to deal with work usually performed by work(wo-)men.

RECRUITMENT FOLLOWING PREVIOUS TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT

In case Hirer enters into an employment relationship or agreement with a AXXAZ Europe GmbH employee during the temporary work contract term or within a period of 6 [six] months after termination of the temporary work term, a provision is to be paid to AXXAZ Europe GmbH. This applies regardless of whether the employment agreement is established at the initiative of Hirer or employee. Employment of AXXAZ Europe employee in a company legally or economically linked to Hirer will also be understood as a takeover.
The recruitment commission amounts to 200 [two hundred] hourly rates or 5 [five] weekly rates plus VAT. Should the temporary work duration be less than 6 [six] months, this commission is reduced by 1/6 [one sixth] per month in employment. This commission is immediately due for payment at the start of employment of the employee with Hirer, ic at the conclusion of the employment contract between employee and Hirer.

RECRUITMENT WITHOUT PREVIOUS TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT

The commission due after sole recruitment, ie without previous employment, amounts to 12% [twelve per cent] of the gross annual salary plus VAT. Compensation is payable immediately after signing the employment contract by employee / applicant / freelancer, unless another written agreement has been expressly made. This also applies to companies legally or economically linked to Hirer. Recruitment shall be deemed accomplished as soon as a AXXAZ Europe GmbH has been presented to or becomes known to client.

WARRANTY AND LIABILITY

Any employees recruited or provided have been checked by AXXAZ Europe GmbH according to their professional qualifications and assigned to Hirer solely for the execution of contractual or requested activities. Conversion or change to a non-contractual activity of the employee by Hirer constitutes a contractual amendment and must be reported immediately to AXXAZ Europe GmbH. A general liability of AXXAZ Europe GmbH does not exist. AXXAZ Europe GmbH shall be liable only for recruitment of an employee concerning incorrect selection with regard to activities as agreed. AXXAZ Europe GmbH will not be liable for any activities performed by recruited employees, other than the selection of the employee.
Should Hirer not be satisfied with the work performance of a recruited employee, he may notify on the first day of employment. AXXAZ Europe GmbH is not liable nor responsible for a temporary employee’s performance. AXXAZ Europe GmbH will provide or recruit a replacement as much as possible and reasonable.
