This Agreement for supplying temporary workers (this “Agreement”) is effective as of

by and between CONSTRUCTION FORCE SERVICES,

INC., a New York corporation (“CFS”), and (PLEASE WRITE COMPANY NAME BELOW) (“Client”).

CFS and Client shall sometimes be referred to in this agreement as a “party” and collectively as

the “parties.”

by and between CONSTRUCTION FORCE SERVICES,

INC., a New York corporation (“CFS”), and (“Client”).

CFS and Client shall sometimes be referred to in this agreement as a “party” and collectively as

the “parties.”

1. Statement of Work. Subject to the terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement, CFS will supply Contract Workers (as hereinafter defined) to Client as Client from time to time requests, to work under Client’s direction, control, and supervision. As used in this Agreement,

the term “Contract Workers” shall mean temporary workers provided by CFS (whether directly or as subcontracted for by CFS) to Client pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. CFS is not Client’s legal partner, co-venturer, joint venture, principal, agent, insurer, joint employer or

representative. Contract Workers have no authority to legally bind CFS.

2. Consideration for Contract Workers to Be Sent to Client. As of the Effective Date, CFS will, at Client’s request, send Contract Workers to work at Client’s premises. In consideration of providing to Client the Contract Workers and the Contract Workers’performance of services to Client, Client agrees that CFS will submit invoices for the payment to

CFS of fees as set forth on the schedule (the “Rate Schedule”) attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A, which by this reference, all Rate Schedules per Contract Worker are incorporated herein and made a part of this Agreement. The attached Rate Schedule is a sample only. Actual Rate Schedule will be sent to Client at time of order.

3. Billing. CFS will invoice Client for all hours worked by the Contract Workers since CFS’s previous billing, plus charges for any other properly billable items, including any applicable government costs. These invoices are payable as outlined under payment terms on the Rate Schedules. Full payment is due on receipt of invoice. All invoices not paid by the 10th day from invoice date are considered past due and may cause interruption to CFS’s services to Client. Client authorizes CFS to charge any unpaid invoices to their credit card after a period of 30 days past due. A 1 1/2% interest fee will be added to all overdue invoices. Client agrees to pay any legal or collection costs related to unpaid invoices.

4. Time Cards. Because CFS’s invoices are principally based on the number of hours worked by the Contract Workers, CFS requires each Contract Worker to submit a weekly record of hours worked during that week. This record is maintained on a time card that is certified by

the Contract Worker as being accurate. Client will not ask any Contract Workers to perform services “off the clock.” Client’s Designated Representative will have the opportunity to sign the Contract Worker’s time card to verify that the Contract Worker has worked, for Client, the hours listed on the time card. But, if Client’s Designated Representative does not sign the time card before it is due to be submitted to CFS, then Client agrees that the timecard will be presumed to be accurate, and Client agrees to pay for the time indicated and to abide by the other terms contained on the time card.

5. Replacement or Release of Unsatisfactory Workers. Client has the right at all times to end the assignment of any Contract Worker CFS supplies to Client. CFS guarantees all Contract Workers for the first 4 hours of the first day they are on site. This means that if the Client is dissatisfied for any reason, CFS will replace the unsatisfactory Contract Worker as promptly as possible and a credit of up to 4 hours will be issued. It is the Client’s responsibility to notify CFS within this four hour time period. After this time period, no credits of any kind will be allowed. If a scheduled assignment is cancelled by the Client, and the 7 hour minimum cannot be met, a minimum of 2 hours per worker will be billed, unless the order is cancelled a minimum of 8 hours prior to scheduled start time.

6. CFS’s Responsibilities. In general, with regard to the Contract Workers assigned to Client by CFS under this Agreement, CFS shall perform or cause to be performed the following:

(a) Maintaining personnel and payroll records of Contract Workers;

(b) Calculating and paying wages of Contract Workers;

(c) Withholding and remitting all applicable federal, state, and local payroll taxes from Contract Workers’ Wages – including taxes under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act, Federal Unemployment Tax Act, and State Unemployment Tax Act – and paying all other government-mandated employment taxes and charges; and

(d) Hiring, assigning, reassigning, counseling, disciplining, and discharging Contract Workers.


Subject to applicable law and on reasonable prior written notice to CFS, Client may review any Contract Worker’s employment records to confirm that CFS is fulfilling these obligations or causing these obligations to be fulfilled. Similarly, Client agrees to give CFS, and CFS’s consultants, contractors, subcontractors, agents and other representatives, access to all records and personnel necessary to investigate any claims or complaints by Contract Workers.

7. Insurance and Liability. During the term of this Agreement, CFS will maintain, or cause to be maintained, the following insurance coverage:


Type

a. Standard workers’ compensation

b. General liability

i. Each Occurrence

ii. General Aggregate

iii. Products – Comp/op Agg

Client and CFS agree that CFS’s total potential liability to Client for any claims, losses,expenses, or damages whatsoever arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement from any cause or causes, including CFS’s negligence, will not exceed the total amount paid to CFS or paid on CFS’s behalf by its insurers under these coverages in settlement or satisfaction of

Client’s claim.

8. Client’s Supervision and Control of Contract Workers. CFS is supplying the Contract Workers to Client to supplement Client’s own work force. Client will direct and supervise the Contract Workers on the job. Proper supervision must be supplied by Client at all times. CFS makes no guarantee and takes no responsibility for the means and methods of

installation of work, quality or timeliness of workmanship, delays or damages attributable to any of the Contract Workers. CFS is not undertaking to provide Client with a specific solution to a particular problem and does not warrant or guarantee that the Contract Workers will produce a solution or produce a certain quantity or quality of work. Rather, the Contract Workers are provided to work under Client’s supervision to augment Client’s existing capabilities to perform such professional services as Client may direct. Client is solely responsible for meeting Client’s goals for profits, costs, production, and scheduling.

9. Federal and Public Contracts. Client agrees to notify CFS in writing within seven (7) business days when Client signs a covered federal direct contract, a federally-assisted construction contract, and/or a public contract. A copy of the contract must be provided to CFS but may be redacted for confidential pricing and cost information. The contract is necessary to ensure that CFS is aware of all legal obligations that flow down to suppliers and vendors. Failure to provide timely written notice will result in full indemnification by Client of CFS’s noncompliance with legal requirements in the event of an enforcement agency audit.


If Client intends for CFS to solicit demographic information of Contract Workers or to ensure proper listing of job vacancies with a local veteran representative (which obligations are required of covered federal contractors and subcontractors) CFS reserves the right to renegotiate additional fees associated with the extra administrative, record keeping and regulatory compliance burden. In the event of an enforcement agency audit of Client, Client will reimburse CFS for the hourly value of time associated with responses to enforcement agency information requests related to the supply of labor to Client, and Client will reimburse all legal

and representation fees associated with CFS’s responses to enforcement agency information requests arising out of enforcement agency’s audit of CFS.

10. Contract Worker Health and Safety. Client represents that it maintains an appropriate injury and illness prevention program, provides on-site health and safety training, and agrees to adhere to all OSHA, or applicable state and local OSHA requirements. Client warrants that all Contract Workers will be outfitted with appropriate personal protective

equipment that must be issued for the specific person and/or the specific site-specific hazards. In the event a Contract Worker is placed in a position that requires the use of a forklift, an appropriate and up to date certification will be required of the Contract Worker before placement

in the position.


Contract Workers are required to contact CFS to report all accidents, injuries, or other health and safety issues. However, Client acknowledges that it is also responsible for reporting all accidents, injuries, or other health and safety issues involving Contract Workers to CFS. In the event of a medical emergency, Client agrees to provide basic emergency care for Contract Workers as it would for Client employees (e.g., CPR, First Aid). For a non-emergency medical situation the Contract Worker will contact CFS so that arrangements may be made for the Contract Worker.


CFS retains the right to investigate work-related accidents and incidents on Client property that involve Contract Workers. CFS will provide Client with a report upon request. If Company chooses to conduct an investigation of a work-related accident regarding one of its

Contract Workers, Client will cooperate with the investigation as necessary. Client agrees to maintain documentation regarding work-related accidents and incidents as per applicable law.

11. Right-to-Know Laws. Client represents that Contract Workers will not be exposed to any hazardous chemicals (as defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Hazard Communication Standards or any applicable state or local right-to-know law) under normal operating conditions or during any foreseeable emergencies while working for Client.

12. Equal Employment Opportunity. CFS provides or causes to provide employment,training, compensation, promotion, and other conditions of employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital or veteran status, age, disability, and any other protected category under federal, state, and local law. CFS will follow this policy in providing Contract Workers to Client under this Agreement. Client agrees to comply with Client’s legal obligations in this regard and to notify CFS if any Contract Worker complains or alleges any improper or unlawful treatment.

13. Disclaimer of Liability and Client Indemnification. CFS has no liability to Client for any claim, loss, or liability of any kind (including those arising out of an alleged “joint employer” relationship) resulting from or otherwise arising out of any of the following:


(a) Client’s failure to adequately supervise or control Contract Workers, provide a safe and lawful work environment or safeguard Client’s premises, processes, or systems.

(b) Client’s entrusting Contract Workers with unattended premises, cash, checks, keys, credit cards, merchandise, confidential or trade secret information, negotiable instruments, or other valuables, without CFS’s express prior written approval.

(c) Client’s requesting or permitting Contract Workers to use any vehicle, regardless of ownership, in connection with the performance of services for Client, unless CFS has given its prior written approval.

(d) Claims by Contract Workers for benefits, compensation, contributions, or penalties under any employee benefit plans sponsored and maintained by Client, whether or not Client’s plans exclude Contract Workers from coverage.1

(e) Promises of increased compensation, bonuses, or benefits made by Client to Contract Workers.

(f) Claims by any person relating to Client’s product or service.

(g) Client’s assigning Contract Workers to duties different from their original duties for which CFS supplied the Contract Worker to Client as per the Rate Schedule,or Client’s making substantial changes to Contract Workers’ job duties or risks without CFS’s prior written approval.
