Interesting thread, shame there is no conclusion.
Anway in regards to below
Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostAt the very least, I'd like something like "which shall not be reasonably withheld" at the end of 1.4 - they have to approve (which is their right) but can't just say "we don't like her" as a reason to reject the substitute.This default font is sooooooooooooo boring and so are short usernamesComment

Some of my contracts with the clause in somewhere else mention vetting of my company's workers while others don't. If yours does point this out to QDOS as this is part of what that terminology covers.

Originally posted by MPwannadecentincome View PostI have a generic contract for public body, no mention of such checks besides they are not relevant for the role I am doing. Besides, doing those checks doesn't take away the right to substitution it just gives the client a reason to refuse a particular candidate?
You do have the RoS but it is not unfettered because there are circumstances when the person you bring in shouldn't be there.
This is my next made up example. The client can't say you can't bring in X because she is German, but they can say they can't have her on-site because they found out she gave birth 5 days ago. (H&S legislation means she has to have 2 weeks of in an office based job.)"You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
