Welcome
Welcome to Spencer Ogden, one of the world’s leading energy recruiters. Spencer Ogden is committed to providing you with a
rewarding, safe and satisfying work experience. This Contractor & Temporary Worker Handbook has been designed to provide
you with useful information that you will need to know when you are on assignment with Spencer Ogden, as well as setting out
some key standards and policies that Spencer Ogden expects you to adhere to. Should you have any queries about the information
in this handbook please do not hesitate to contact your Recruitment Consultant.

1. Need to know – Contractor & Temporary worker Essentials


1.1 who should I contact if I have a query about an upcoming assignment?
Your Recruitment Consultant will brief you on each assignment prior to commencement. If you have any queries, feel free
to raise these with your Recruitment Consultant.

1.2 Does Spencer Ogden have standards and protocols that I need to follow?
Yes, Spencer Ogden is focused on excellence and committed to fostering high levels of professionalism, so before you
start an assignment it is important you familiarize yourself with our standards and protocols.
- Spencer Ogden expects you to respect the rights of others and to treat them fairly. Harassment of any kind is not
acceptable and could result in the termination of an assignment. Similarly, should you find yourself in an
uncomfortable situation, do not hesitate to contact your Recruitment Consultant.
- When you enter different work environments, you may be exposed to confidential or sensitive information whether
work-related or personal. Please ensure you keep all information confidential, even once your assignment has
finished, as failing to do so will put you in breach of your contract with Spencer Ogden and its Clients.
- When accessing a client’s computer network which includes e-mail, intranet, the internet and various software
programs, remember they must be used for business purposes only and that confidentiality of passwords and
information is paramount. Use of any systems for personal use or for accessing offensive and/or obscene content
is unacceptable and may result in the termination of your assignment and other possible serious consequences.
- Except in the case of an emergency, please make personal phone calls only during breaks. Leave hand phones off or
on silent during work hours.
- Please ensure you read and follow the specific policies enclosed in this handbook and also be aware that you may be
required to sign the client’s separate Confidentiality Agreement, HSE Policy documents and other such documents
that may be required by the client on a case by case basis.
Permanent opportunities often develop from contract or temporary assignments, so if you encounter any difficulties
whilst on assignment (or have a complaint) please address it with your Recruitment Consultant immediately rather than
approaching the client.

1.3 Do I need to provide Spencer Ogden with any documents?


Yes, as a leading energy recruitment company, Spencer Ogden must ensure that the workers it supplies to its clients are
who they say they are, are entitled to work in the country they will be working in and have the necessary skills and
qualifications to carry out the work. Your Recruitment Consultant will advise you of the specific documents that Spencer
Ogden will require from you to evidence the above. Additionally, if you are an independent contractor working through
your own company, you must supply Spencer Ogden with your incorporation certificate, GST registration (or equivalent),
insurance documents and evidence of your right to work where the Services are to be delivered before Spencer Ogden
issues your contract and before you start work.

1.4 What is the process for making a leave request while on assignment?
Annual leave should be agreed between yourself and the client, with your Recruitment Consultant fully informed before
leave is taken. This will ensure cover is available whilst you are away. If you intend to take medical or sick leave, then
we ask you to notify the client and / or your Recruitment Consultant us as early as possible before you are due to start
work. If that is not possible, you must notify the client and / or your Recruitment Consultant as early as possible after
that time. A leave request form must also be completed and signed by the client, along with a medical certificate.

contractor or temporary worker did not ensure that documents requiring signatures have been signed or signed correctly

4. Anti-bribery & corruption Policy
Spencer Ogden takes a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption and is committed to acting professionally, fairly
and with integrity in all its business dealings and relationships wherever it operates. It is the policy of Spencer Ogden,
including its subsidiaries and associated companies, to conduct all of its business in an honest and ethical manner to this
end has implemented and will enforce effective systems to counter bribery.
Spencer Ogden will uphold all relevant legislation to counter bribery and corruption in all the jurisdictions in which it
operates. However, as a United Kingdom headquartered company we remain bound by the laws of the UK and elsewhere,
including the Bribery Act 2010, in respect of our conduct both at home and abroad. Bribery and corruption are punishable
for individuals by up to ten years’ imprisonment and if we are found to have taken part in corruption we could face an
unlimited fine, be excluded from tendering for public contracts and face damage to our reputation. We therefore take our
legal responsibilities seriously.

4.1 what is bribery?


A bribe is an inducement or reward offered, promised or provided in order to gain any commercial, contractual, regulatory
or personal advantage.

4.2 what is not acceptable?


It is not acceptable for you (or someone on your behalf) to:
- give, promise to give, or offer, a payment, gift or hospitality with the expectation or hope that a business advantage
will be received, or to reward a business advantage already given;
- give, promise to give, or offer, a payment, gift or hospitality to a government official, agent or representative to
“facilitate” or expedite a routine procedure;
- accept payment from a third party that you know or suspect is offered with the expectation that it will obtain a
business advantage for them;
- accept a gift or hospitality from a third party if you know or suspect that it is offered or provided with an
expectation that a business advantage will be provided by us in return;
- threaten or retaliate against another worker who has refused to commit a bribery offence or who has raised
concerns under this policy; or
- engage in any activity that might lead to a breach of this policy.
For the avoidance of doubt, Spencer Ogden conducts its business to the highest standards and upholds all relevant
legislation to counter bribery and corruption in the jurisdictions in which it operates. To this end you confirm to Spencer
Ogden that you will not offer, give or agree to give any gift or other consideration to any employee or other representative
of Spencer Ogden or any other person, which could be perceived as an inducement or a reward for any act or failure to
act connected to the award or performance of any agreement.

4.3 facilitation payments and kickbacks


Spencer Ogden does not make, and will not accept, facilitation payments or “kickbacks” of any kind. Facilitation payments
are typically small, unofficial payments made to secure or expedite a routine government action by a government official,
such as speeding up a visa or license application. If you are asked to make a payment on our behalf, you should always be
mindful of what the payment is for and whether the amount requested disproportionate to the goods or services provided.
If you have any suspicions, concerns or queries regarding the payment, you should raise them with your Recruitment
Consultant. Kickbacks are typically payments made in return for a business favour or advantage. All workers must avoid
any activity that might lead to a suggestion that a kickback payment will be made or accepted by Spencer Ogden.
You will not enter into an agreement with Spencer Ogden if you are aware that any money has been, or will be, paid to
any person working for or engaged by either party, unless any such arrangement constitutes bona fide payment for the
Services or has been disclosed to Spencer Ogden in writing prior to the conclusion of the Agreement. The Contractor
and/or the Representative will notify Spencer Ogden in writing of any foreign public official employed or engaged by it in
connection with this Agreement

initial:

9.
4.4 gifts and hospitality
This policy does not prohibit normal and appropriate hospitality (given and received) to or from third parties. We
appreciate that the practice of giving business gifts varies between countries and regions and what may be normal and
acceptable in one region may not be in another. The test to be applied is whether in all the circumstances the gift or
hospitality is reasonable and justifiable. The intention behind the gift should always be considered.

4.5 your responsibilities


You must ensure that you read, understand and comply with this policy. The prevention, detection and reporting of bribery
and other forms of corruption are the responsibility of all those working for us. All contractors, workers and employees
are required to avoid any activity that might lead to, or suggest, a breach of this policy.
You must maintain adequate books and records with regard to all relevant transactions and grant Spencer Ogden such
rights of audit as may be reasonable to verify compliance with the provisions of this clause.
You must notify your Recruitment Consultant as soon as possible if you believe or suspect that a conflict with this policy
has occurred, or may occur in the future. We reserve our right to terminate our contractual relationship with workers if
they breach this policy.

4.6 how to raise a concern


You are encouraged to raise concerns about any issue or suspicion of malpractice at the earliest possible stage. If you are
unsure whether a particular act constitutes bribery or corruption, or if you have any other queries, these should be raised
with your Recruitment Consultant. If you are offered a bribe by a third party, and asked to make one, suspect that this
may happen in the future, or believe you are a victim of another form of unlawful activity; again please report any such
activity to your Recruitment Consultant.
Workers who refuse to accept a bribe or those who raise concern or report another’s wrongdoing are sometimes worried
about possible repercussions. Spencer Ogden aims to encourage openness and will support anyone who raises genuine
concerns in good faith under this policy. Even if they turn out to be mistaken. Spencer Ogden are committed to ensuring
that one suffers unfavorable treatment as a result of refusing to take part in bribery or corruption, or because of reporting
a good faith suspicion that an actual or potential bribery or corruption offence has taken place, or may take place in the
future.

4.7 declaration
As a pre-condition of Spencer Ogden accepting you to work on the assignment, and by signing and acknowledging this
handbook, you hereby declare that you understand, are fully aware of and will comply with this Anti-Bribery & Corruption
Policy at all times.

5. SANCTIONS Policy
This Sanctions Policy of Spencer Ogden aims to ensure that Spencer Ogden complies with all relevant and applicable
sanctions, embargoes and political trade restrictions put in place against target countries. As a UK headquartered
company with global operations Spencer Ogden is required to observe sanctions put in place by the United Nations, the
European Union and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (USA).

5.1 consequence of failing to comply with sanctions


Penalties for failing to comply sanctions and embargoes can be severe and can result in criminal charges being brought
against you and against Spencer Ogden, potentially resulting in significant fines and/or imprisonment. Accordingly, any
breaches of this policy will be dealt with severely and may result in dismissal.

5.2 sanctions policy & declaration


Before working satisfy yourself that in accepting any position you will not cause yourself or Spencer Ogden to breach any
sanction or any trade embargo. Except with Spencer Ogden's prior written approval, you undertake not during the term
of the Assignment travel to and / or supply services in or for any country, or to any business, client or person, that is
subject to any sanction or embargo, whether issued by the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United Nations and
/ or the United States of America or any other country or body. In the event the client requests you to commit any act
that would or might cause you to breach the above undertaking, you will immediately notify Spencer Ogden and will
