Description of services:

PERMANENT PLACEMENT SERVICE

Staff Renter will act as an intermediary between you and a potential employer in Quebec or Ontario (“the employer”) in the field of catering or tourism (the “domain”) in order for you to find a job in Quebec in the field. Staff Renter will put you in touch with one or more employers and make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a promise to hire from the employer. Staff Renter’s service is limited to the door-to-door sales services explicitly described in this paragraph. You agree to be available for electronic or in-person interviews and to answer questions from Staff Renter and the employer, to allow Staff Renter to provide services. You agree that these Staff Renter services will in no way create an employer-employee / employee relationship between Staff Renter and you, or any other obligation or guarantee on the part of Staff Renter towards you, other than those expressly provided for in this paragraph.

EVENT (SELF-EMPLOYED)

Staff Renter will act as an intermediary between you, as a self-employed worker and service provider, and one or more potential clients in Quebec or Ontario (the “beneficiaries”) in the field, for the purpose that you may from time to time render services in the field to beneficiaries, on an event basis. Staff Renter will offer you tenders through its website or intranet on the basis of which you can demonstrate your interest and offer your services. After validation and acceptance of the invitation to tender for your services by Staff Renter and / or the beneficiary, and the communication to you of the specific conditions applicable to the mandate with the beneficiary, you will invoice Staff Renter for your services once rendered, and Staff Renter will invoice the beneficiaries. You will be paid when Staff Renter is paid by the beneficiary. Staff Renter’s service is limited to the services explicitly described in this paragraph. You agree to be available for confirmation by electronic means or in person and to answer questions from Staff Renter and the beneficiaries, in order to allow Staff Renter to render services. You agree that these Staff Renter services will in no way create an employer-employee / employee relationship between Staff Renter and you or between a beneficiary and you, or any other obligation or guarantee on the part of Staff Renter towards you, others than those expressly provided for in this paragraph.

The self-employed worker undertakes to provide an invoice for a self-employed worker in his personal name or an invoice from an existing legal entity which will have provided the services to Staff Renter for services rendered after each mandate or call for tenders made and completed, or a grouped invoice in connection with multiple mandates or calls for tenders. Staff Renter provides the self-employed with a free self-employed invoicing tool so that they can produce, create and generate these invoices. If the self-employed person has their own self-employed invoicing system, then they are free to produce and generate these invoices and send them to Staff Renter. Staff Renter reserves the right to refuse an invoice for a self-employed worker for lack of necessary information and will ask in this case to remedy the situation in order to be able to issue a payment to the self-employed worker in due form.

Insurance: As a self-employed worker, the self-employed worker undertakes to maintain at his own expense any insurance required in connection with the performance of the services. This includes without limitation any personal and medical insurance for care, disability, injury and other medical or paramedical conditions, medication, life insurance and other personal and professional insurance, as well as appropriate liability insurance for the type of services rendered to beneficiaries . The self-employed worker expressly acknowledges that neither Staff Renter nor the beneficiary will maintain such insurance towards him and that he remains solely responsible for any damage or injury caused during the performance of the services. The self-employed worker also recognizes that as a self-employed worker he will not be entitled to the payment of vacation or other benefits generally reserved for employees. He also undertakes to compensate Staff Renter and the beneficiaries for any damage they cause them.

Our definition of “self-employed”:

The self-employed person is a person who works independently on his own account, and not as an employee on behalf of another person. He can also be designated as “independent contractor”, “service provider” or “consultant”. He has great autonomy in the choice of his clients and his working method. The self-employed person is in no case an employee or employee of the company or the client who provides him with mandates, and his work is not carried out under the direction and control of an employer, from a point of hierarchical view, although he must follow the instructions of his client. He must in particular take out his own insurance, is responsible for the damage he causes and is not entitled to statutory holidays or other paid by his client or other benefits.

By this fact, by accepting these GTC, you will be considered and treated, and agree to be considered and treated, as a self-employed worker.

Non-solicitation: During the term of the mandate and for a period of one year thereafter, you agree not to solicit or accept a job offer or other mandate from the beneficiary (or from an agency other than Staff Renter serving it), without first going through Staff Renter.
For confidentiality purposes, you should also not provide your personal information to the recipient. If he has questions, you can tell him to contact the agency at 514-360-2196. In the same way, you must in no case take or communicate information relating to the beneficiary. All information must remain confidential.

You have five (5) calendar days (or more with the authorization of Staff Renter) from the date of receipt of said notice to correct the non-performance.
