2. CLIENT will
a. Properly supervise Assigned Employees performing its work and be responsible for its business operations, products, services, and intellectual property;
b. Properly supervise, control, and safeguard its premises, processes, or systems, and not permit Assigned Employees to operate any vehicle or mobile equipment, or entrust them with unattended premises, cash, checks, keys, credit cards, merchandise, confidential or trade secret information, negotiable instruments, or other valuables without STAFFING FIRM’s
express prior written approval or as strictly required by the job description provided to STAFFING FIRM;

Payment Terms, Bill Rates, and Fees

3. CLIENT will pay STAFFING FIRM for its performance at the rates set forth on Signed Contract and will also pay any additional costs or fees set forth in this Agreement. STAFFING FIRM will invoice CLIENT for services provided under this Agreement on a monthly basis. Payment is automatically billed to the CLIENT’S Credit Card every month.

General Terms and Conditions

4. Assigned Employees are not classified as “Empleados de Confianza” which is the equivalent to nonexempt in the United States of America and they will require premium pay (either double time or triple time), for overtime, holiday work, or weekend work. STAFFING FIRM will charge CLIENT special rates for premium work time only when an Assigned Employee’s work on assignment to CLIENT, viewed by itself, would legally require premium pay and CLIENT has authorized, directed, or allowed the Assigned Employee to work such premium work time. CLIENT’s special billing rate for premium hours will be the same multiple of the regular billing rate as STAFFING FIRM is required to apply to the Assigned Employee’s regular pay rate. (For example, when federal law requires 150% of pay for work exceeding 40 hours in a week, CLIENT will be billed at 150% of the regular bill rate.)
5. If CLIENT uses or desires to use the services of any Assigned Employee as its direct employee (i.e. hires said Assigned Employee), or as an independent contractor, or through any person or firm other than STAFFING FIRM at any time said Assigned Employee works for Staffing Firm (and for a period of one year after Assigned Employee no longer works for Staffing Firm), CLIENT must immediately notify STAFFING Firm in writing that it desires to hire or wants to use the services of said Assigned Employee.  In such an event, in order for Client to avoid paying a fee for said solicitation of said Assigned Employee, Client must wither: (a) continue the Assigned Employee’s assignment from STAFFING FIRM for his or her next 2000 consecutive work hours for CLIENT; or (b) pay STAFFING FIRM a fee in the amount of 12 times the highest six-month average (for the most recent year) of the monthly billing rate for that Assigned Employee, or $25,000.00, whichever is higher. ( For example, if said Assigned Employee’s highest average monthly billing for a six month period was $3,000 per month, Client would pay Staffing Firm the sum of $36,000.)
6. In addition to the bill rates specified in the Signed Contract of this Agreement, CLIENT will pay STAFFING FIRM the amount of all new or increased labor costs associated with a change is the exchange rate between the Mexican Peso and the US dollar. To date, pay rates are based on a U.S Dollar to Mexican Peso ratio of $18.90 Mexican Pesos to $1 U.S. Dollar. A 10% exchange rate fee may be charged for every 10% change in the Mexican Peso to US Dollar ratio. For example, if the ration changes to $16.02 to $1 U.S. Dollar, then Website In 5 Days LLC may enforce a 10% exchange rate fee to account for this change. 
7. CLIENT agrees to grant leave and time off according to the labor laws and legal work requirements from Mexico and any and all countries that the STAFFING FIRM is employing and staffing employees. These labor laws include but are not limited to Illness (undetermined time, according to worker’s needs), Accident or Injury (undetermined time, according to worker’s needs), Maternity leave (84 days), Paternity leave ( 5 days), Death of a relative ( 3 days), and Marriage (3 days). If the CLIENT wishes, STAFFING FIRM will provide a temporary replacement during the leave or time off at no additional cost. Discounts to the CLIENT may be granted at the STAFFING FIRM’S discretion for time off or leave for the Assigned Employee.
8. Under no circumstance may the CLIENT provide or solicit travel for the Assigned Employee to business or personal events. If the CLIENT wishes for the Assigned Employee to travel for business purposes, especially if that travel requires the Assigned Employee to leave their home country, then a formal request must be made the STAFFING FIRM’s Human Resources Department (hr@dudeagency.io) at least 30 days prior to the travel dates. All travel costs, daily per diem, lodging, ground transportation, etc, are the responsibility of the CLIENT and must be listed prior to the travel being approved. Any violation of this policy could result in termination of the CLIENT and the ASSIGNED EMPLOYEE.

Confidential Information

7. Both parties may receive information that is proprietary to or confidential to the other party or its affiliated companies and their clients. Both parties agree to hold such information in strict confidence and not to disclose such information to third parties or to use such information for any purpose whatsoever other than performing under this Agreement or as required by law. No knowledge, possession, or use of CLIENT’s confidential information will be imputed to STAFFING FIRM as a result of Assigned Employees’ access to such information.

Furthermore the CLIENT will submit an employee handbook to the STAFFING FIRM at the start of the contract and will review all violations that require a written warning and/or automatic termination.
