SECTION 2: TERMS & CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT
2.1 AMENDMENTS AND ADDITIONS
You will be notified in writing of any changes to your terms and conditions of employment within one
month of the changes taking place. This written notification will include the nature and date of the
change. This written notification does not apply if the change is as a result of a change in legislation.
2.2 EMPLOYMENT OFFER
Our offer has also been made on the basis of information you have given on your curriculum vitae and
during your interviews. If it subsequently transpires that any of this information is false or misleading,
the Company reserves the right to withdraw its offer or, if applicable, terminate your employment.
2.3 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
It is a condition precedent of this offer of employment that the company receives satisfactory
references and evidence of your qualifications. The company will request references from previous
employers. These references must be on file prior to your commencing employment with the
company.
You may also be required to undergo a medical examination with the company’s doctor prior to an
offer of employment. Confirmation of appointment will be dependent on the doctor confirming you
are fit for employment.
2.4 PROBATIONARY PERIOD
You join us on an initial probationary period of six months. This does not prejudice our right to dismiss
in accordance with the notice provisions contained in your individual Statement of Main Terms of
Employment, or without notice for reasons of gross misconduct, should this be necessary. During this
period your work performance and general suitability will be assessed and, if it is satisfactory, your
employment will continue. However, if your work performance is not up to the required standard or
you are considered to be generally unsuitable, we may either take remedial action or terminate your
employment, without recourse to the disciplinary procedure. At the end of your probationary period
you will again be assessed and, if satisfactory, you will become a member of our regular staff. If you
have not reached the required standard, we may either extend the probationary period in order that
remedial action can be taken or terminate your employment. At any stage during your probationary
period the Company reserves the right to address disciplinary misconduct matters through
probationary review assessments. We reserve the right to bypass, at our discretion, any step in the
disciplinary process in view of your probationary status or to terminate your contract with notice, if
we feel that the severity of the action warrants it. We will be fair in the application of such discretion.
Any continuous period of absence of four weeks or more will suspend your probationary period until
your return to work.
2.5 INDUCTION
At the start of your employment with our Company you are required to attend/complete an induction
session during which all our policies and procedures include Health and Safety, Cash Handling and
Anti-Money Laundering regulations will be discussed.
