Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any other questions, drop us a message and we’ll get in touch with you.
Many clients will require this before they allow you onto site. This is because you or your limited company (depending on how you are working) is legally responsible for your actions. Whilst we have never known a client to take legal action against a contractor, should you be responsible for an incident causing significant damage or harm you could be held liable. Insurance provides you with peace of mind.
Your assignment should appear once you begin working on site. If you are yet to start, please check back on commencement. If you are already working and you cannot see your assignment, please contact JAM.
You should agree any recoverable expenses in advance, and it must be contractually agreed with all parties in advance. We will process any expenses once they are approved by the client, in line with any agreed expense processes.
