- your customer service skills or potential (if not already done so during the initial onboarding);
- your fit to the Business you wish to work with; and
- your fit to the role you applied to.
Stint Ltd may also call you to discuss the role and your application further, before sharing information with the Business.
We will share certain information set out in your Team Form as well as your Onboarding Video with the Business, as further set out in the Privacy Notice. The Business will assess your skills and fit to the Business, and will approve or reject your application to join the Team.
Trials
You may be invited to carry out one or more paid trials with the Business, prior to fully becoming a member of a Team.
During the trial period, the Business and/or Stint may decide that you do not fit the Business or the Team, and you will be removed from the Team and the Team Group.
You may also decide that you do not wish to join the Business, in such case, you must let us know within 24 hours from your last trial. We will automatically remove you from the Team and the Team Group.
Accepting and joining a Team
Once you are offered to join a Team, you have 24 hours to choose whether to accept or reject the offer. Before you accept to becoming part of a Team, you must review and ensure that you can comply with and agree to all terms of the Team Form and/or otherwise communicated to you.
You will be asked to join a Team Group with other Stinters currently in your Team. You must join the Team Group as essential information may be shared in the Team Group.
If, either before or during the course of the Fixed Team Term, you become aware of any reason why you may no longer be suitable to be part of the Team (including ill health), you must notify us without delay using the Stinter support features on the Stint App. This includes where the nature of the Stints you carry out as part of the Team has been changed by the Business so that the type of Stints you are asked to perform is not what you had accepted and is no longer appropriate.
Signing up to Stints within a Team
Every week, we will release to all Stinters in a Team the Stints available for the following week. Stints are available on a first come first serve basis.
You must choose a number of Stints equal to the Minimum Stint Number you committed to.
Within a certain amount of time (which will be communicated to each Team, and currently is 24 hours) after the release of the Stints, you will be able to sign up to additional Stints should you wish to. These additional Stints are available on a first come first serve basis.
Removal from a Team
We may, at our absolute discretion, remove you from a Team with immediate effect, if you fail to comply with the Stinter Terms or these Team Terms, including without limitation, clause 5.5 of the Stinter Terms.
We reserve the right to remove you from a Team and a Team Group as a result of your behaviour on the Stint App, the Stint Group, during a Stint carried out as part of a Team, or with other Stinters, which includes, but is not limited to: poor ratings, poor behaviour during a Team Stint (apparent either via a rating or comment on the app, or offline via feedback to the Stint Ltd team), poor record of attendance, lack of punctuality, unusual number of Team Stint cancellations or rudeness to Stint Ltd or Business staff or Stinters. Any performance related or other behavioural policies are non-contractual and entirely subject to our discretion.
We will remove you from the Team Group upon your departure of or removal from the Team for any reason.
Change of nature of Stint
If the nature of the Stints you agreed to carry out as part of a Team has been changed by the business so that the new Stints you are expected to carry out are no longer appropriate, you must inform us immediately. In such event you may leave the Team immediately
Fixed Team Term Extension
Towards the end of your Fixed Team Term, you may ask us, or we may ask you, to extend the Fixed Team Term, in which case you will be asked to fill in the Team Form.
Business Requirements and Uniforms
If you have been accepted to work as part of a Team, any Business requirement regarding uniform, training and other role expectations will be provided by Stint Ltd and/or the Business upon being accepted into a Team.
Where applicable, you must attend mandatory training at the date set out in the Team Form, for which you will be paid the Default Total Rate of Pay. Where you have selected that the training date is not convenient to you, we will discuss an alternative date. Unless otherwise agreed with us, You may not commence any Stint as part of the Team until and unless the mandatory training has been completed.
Punctuality
You must arrive on time at your Stint, in accordance with clause 5.10-5.13 of the Stinter Terms.
Sending a replacement and Cancellations
You may use the Team Group to find a substitute to one of your Stints, or to swap your Stint with another Stinter within your Team, provided that the Stinter has been trained and is qualified for the same role as you. You cannot ask a Stinter from another Team to replace you.
If you cannot find a substitute in accordance with section 12.1 above, you must attend the Stint. If you fail to attend it will be considered to be a cancellation by the Stinter and clauses 5.21-5.22 of the Stinter Terms will apply. We also reserve the right to remove you from the Team with immediate effect on notice.
Pay and Rolled-up Holidays
The relevant Contractual Rate of Pay and the Total Rate of Pay for particular Team Stints will normally be set-out on the Stint App or relevant Team Form where it differs from the Default Total Rate of Pay.
Holiday accrual and pay for Team Stints will be calculated in accordance with clause 8 of the Stint Terms, subject to the terms below. The Total Rate of Pay for Team Stints will always include rolled-up holiday pay for Under 21 Stinters.
A benefit of working as part of a Team is that you may become eligible to a higher Contractual Rate of Pay and Total Rate of Pay for certain Team Stints. We will tell you, as and when relevant, how to qualify for it. A Total Rate of Pay over £12.88 will include rolled-up holiday pay for both Under 21 Stinters and Over 21 Stinters. How we roll-up holiday pay is set out in in clause 8.5 of the Stinter Term.
Sickness and injury
For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of clause 9 of the Stinter Terms shall apply in respect of any sickness or injury suffered during Stints carried out as part of a Team.
