Getting a job:

 

Our system will text, email or call you the details of a job therefore it is very important that you make sure your number is correct and you have enough credit to text/call us.

 When you receive a message from us with a job, you must first respond to the office to confirm the job, this can be done by accepting the booking on the portal in your staff area.  Then please prepare your kit: steel toecap boots, hard hat and a Hi visibility vest as a minimum requirement to get on to any of our sites.

Then check train and bus times for your morning journey, if you are not sure about anything then please contact the office.

 

 

Going to work:

1st thing when you wake up in the morning, please respond to the en-route message, so we know that you are up and planning to go to work. (Failure to do this could lead to you being replaced) or that you are unable to work, this must be done by 6am.

You must meet ONTIME at the meeting point every day.

 After the first day on a site, please still all meet before entering site, so it is very important that everybody is at the meeting point together on time. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!  If you’re the number 1: the office needs to be told at the time of meeting who is not there so I can inform the client and chase or replace that person. So, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you are at the meeting point early.

 If you are unable to go to work, you must let the office know as soon as possible. You must call at midday as well to let us know when you plan to return to work.

 

 

Kit: You will need a Hardhat, hi viz vest and steel toe cap boots. You must always wear PPE on site.

 

Onsite

You must not use your mobile phones or smoke on site.

You must ALWAYS wear steel toe cap boots, hard hat and Hi-Viz vest or you will not be allowed to work.

You must be well presented, in professional work clothes, NO Jewellery, sportswear, jeans, if you have a hooded jumper, YOU MUST NOT WEAR THE HOOD UP AT ON SITE.

You must not swear or use bad language on site.

You must not drink alcohol or use drugs on or before working on site. If found with drugs or under the influence, your contract will be terminated, you will not be paid for any work that week and you will be reported to the police.

 

KEY Points

 Assume you are working the next day after a job finishes. Call us at the end of the day if you have not received details for the next day’s job, but all bookings and correspondence will be available in the staff area online.

 We will always try and give you as much notice of the work coming up, but many times we only find out the day before, which is why it is important you are available and keep your calendar up to date.

 If you do not finish the job, you run the risk of not getting paid for it.

You are contractor working for Your Covered. We will put you on different sites and with different companies, but you are representing Your Riggers.

​

 Do not work an evening shift and come to work for us in the morning it is dangerous, illegal, and unacceptable.

 COMMUNICATION IS KEY: if we don’t know where you are or what you are doing how can we manage jobs for you?

 Our job is to find you work and your job is to keep the work.

 You are only as good as your last job. If you work hard, have the right attitude, want to try and learn, the foreman will ask for you to come back again and again.

​

 You might get booked in for one day’s work, but if you do a good job, they will extend your booking if they can or they will try and move you on to another of their sites.  We work hard building relationships with the clients, but it is down to you to build relationships with the client’s guys on site, foreman and each other.

 From turning up early at the meeting place all in kit and entering the site early or on time as a team in kit makes such a difference and you will get treated differently if you do this and work hard.

 

​

 You let us worry about getting more jobs booked in, and you concentrate on doing a great job on site, work as a team, be proud of working with us, working with each other and yourselves.  Try and learn the job and it will become easier, and you will get more work if the foreman knows you understand what you are doing.

 Be the first on site, last to leave for break, first back from break and last one to stop at the end  of the day and you will see the difference and don’t spend ages going to the toilet during work.  Take your lunch with you, lots of water, sun cream (in the Summer), and a change of socks.  Don’t take expensive things with you.

​

 The sites have a lot of pressure to get things up and then down with tight deadlines. This is why sites are fast moving and stressful and foremen can get stressed. You must realize that they are depending on us and you to help them get the job done. Every person on that site is key to building the marquee/structure in time.

​

 Number ones you are our eyes and ears and the guys we want driving the crew hard and forward. We need feedback and for you to build relationships with the foreman and other guys working on site for the client.

 Timesheets and Invoices are money for you. If they are not correct, neat, in on time and have your name on, you run the risk of not getting paid.

​

The crew chief is to co-ordinate, communicate, and manage his crew from point of job instruction via SMS to finish of the job and timesheet signed and given in to the office. The crew chief is to oversee the onsite training, and education of the new starters. The crew chief will run his team/crew and make sure everyone is always representing us in the best possible way. The crew chief will communicate with the client’s foreman and take instruction on what is required to be done and then instructs his team/crew on what to do.

 

Number one: a number one is all the above and will also communicate with the Foreman and with the crew planner in the office. They are also responsible for completing the timesheets and are the eyes and ears of Your Staffing onsite.

 

Crew Planner: The person working for Your Riggers in charge of managing crew members and number ones/foremen from our office. Organizes all the jobs and is your point of contact for anything to do with your job day to day.

Timesheet: This is the document / piece of paper that must be filled out in full via a smart phone/tablet, , with foreman’s signature to get paid. The number one should normally have the timesheet.

Stay away: This means when you are staying overnight in accommodation. I agree to and understand everything in the Starter Pack – this includes but is not restricted to; how to act on site, how to fill out a timesheet correctly and my pay related to timesheets and my  invoices, my roles and responsibilities, pay and expenses and being on Standby.
