1. I understand that I am being engaged by TCS to perform work on a temporary as requested basis and that I have the ability to accept or reject work at my sole discretion.
2. Whenever I am available for work, I will report to TSC to determine if work is available. I acknowledge that TCS is not required to find work for me or contact me in order to make-work available to me.  If I do not report into TCS on any day, TCS will assume I am unavailable for work that day. If I do report to TCS and am assigned work, the work day will start once I arrive at the assigned work location.
3. I also understand that after receiving a work assignment I am free and on my own time until the job assignment starts. I will be on time for all job assignments.
4. I acknowledge and agree that my hourly wage is dependent on the particular client that I am providing services to on any given day. I acknowledge and agree that TCS will have no obligation to pay me for any work unless I have provided TCS with a completed TCS work ticket that has been signed by an authorized signatory of the applicable customer of TCS.
5. I acknowledge and agree that I will not operate any machinery or tools unless: (a) I am properly trained and certified to operate such machinery; and (b) I have obtained the express permission of TCS.

7. I agree to notify TCS of any illness or injury that may impact my ability to safely perform my job duties or if I am taking any medications that may impact my ability to safely perform my job duties.
8. In the event that I have a Repeat Job (a request to return to the same job), I must report my availability to TCS at least one hour before the job starts (dispatchers’ discretion). Should I not report in, TCS may assume that I am unavailable and assign the job to another worker.
9. Termination
   1. Termination For Cause: I acknowledge and agree that TCS may terminate my employment without notice or pay in lieu of notice for just cause, in which case I will receive only my minimum entitlements required by the Employment Standards Legislation.
   2. Termination Without Cause:
      1. Termination for Inactivity. I acknowledge and agree that my employment with TCS will automatically terminate without cause if I do not perform work for TCS Customer for a period of ten (10) consecutive business days (the “Inactivity Period”) and I am not on an approved statutory leave, pursuant to the Employment Standards Legislation or Human Rights Code, during the Inactivity Period ( “Inactivity”). If my employment is terminated for Inactivity, I acknowledge and agree that TCS will provide me with only my minimum entitlement to written notice or pay in lieu of notice required by the Employment Standards Legislation, and any other minimum entitlements required by the Employment Standards Legislation.
      2. Other Without Cause Termination.

I understand and agree that my entitlements on termination are limited to the minimum entitlements pursuant to the Employment Standards Legislation, and I am not entitled to any further notice or payment in lieu of notice in respect of termination of employment, whether at common law or otherwise.  For greater certainty, I understand that if I am entitled to no written notice or pay in lieu of notice under the Employment Standards Legislation, including but not limited to by reason of my being employed on a requested temporary basis with the option of accepting or rejecting work, then TCS may terminate my employment without notice or pay in lieu of notice.

12. Employment Standards Minimums. In all circumstances, the Employee will receive the minimum entitlements on termination as required by the Employment Standards Legislation, including but not limited to all accrued and unpaid wages and vacation pay.  This termination provision shall be interpreted as intending to comply with all requirements of the Employment Standards Legislation.

13. The Employee covenants and agrees that he/she will observe and comply with all applicable laws, codes and regulations in performing his/her employment duties hereunder. The Employee will indemnify and hold harmless TCS, and their affiliates, agents, independent contractors, directors, officers and employees from and against any and all damages, injuries, claims, demands, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred or made against TCS arising from or connected with the Employee’s breach of any covenant herein.
14. I acknowledge and agree that any and all compensation for hours worked for TCS will be transferred directly to my bank account via e transfer. Standard TCS payroll frequency is Bi-weekly.

I further acknowledge and agree that if I choose to have my payroll compensation issued more frequently than Bi-weekly, I will be subject to a per transaction “convenience fee”.
