1. Deearna’s Maternity Agency acts as an introductory agency only.
2. Acceptance of an application for an interview and/or employment following an introduction through Deearna’s Maternity Agency shall constitute acceptance of our Terms of Business, fees, and conditions of payment.
3. Deearna’s Maternity Agency endeavours to be thorough in its selection of Candidates on the basis of the information supplied by both the Client and where relevant the Candidate, however the final decision to employ a Candidate remains the sole responsibility of the Client who must ensure their suitability.
4. The Client shall be responsible for all payments to the Candidate.
5. All information communicated, whether written or verbally, shall be kept confidential between all parties.
6. Where the Agency has provided details, whether verbal or written, of a Candidate the Client cannot accept the same Candidate from another agency. If the Client accepts and interviews the same Candidate from another agency within 6 months of an introduction by Deearna’s Maternity Agency the Client will be liable for 50% of the introduction fees, in the event of an engagement.
7. The Client agrees to inform the Agency immediately upon the acceptance of a Candidate for employment and is then liable to pay the full agency fees within 7 days,from the date the invoice will be sent to you. Our invoice is normally sent to you within 64hrs of the acceptance of our nurse. Should you not be able to meet this condition then please notify us in advance so that we can extend the time frame. Should you fail to pay the agency fees within our set terms we then reserve the right to add an additional £210.00 to your invoice. This will be the charge we would incur from a third party to recover the outstanding debt. The outstanding agency debt will also incur charges of £5.00 per day for every day overdue.
8. Fees shall become immediately payable upon the acceptance of a Candidate as stated in point 7 above and not the commencement of employment.
9. In order to secure the engagement of a Maternity nurse, the maternity nurse may ask for a deposit to be paid.

11. Where the engagement of a temporary Candidate continues after the initial specified term the Client will be charged the appropriate additional fee.
12. Where a Candidate is employed on a temporary basis and is subsequently engaged on a permanent basis the Client is liable to pay the Agency the full permanent Candidate fees in addition to any sums already paid in respect of any previous engagements whether temporary or permanent.
13. Temporary fees are not discountable against a subsequent permanent fee.
14. The introduction fee of a temporary or permanent Candidate applies to one engagement only. Clients employing or re-employing a Candidate following an introduction by the Agency shall be liable for the full fees. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Agency of such an engagement regardless of any time lapse between original engagements. The candidates have all signed an agreement confirming they will consult the agency and make us aware should a client try to book them directly, our candidates will not book directly through you as part of their obligation to us.
