General Timesheet Information

Before submitting timesheets please ensure that they are:

Legible, accurate, and completed in full. It is very important to note that

inaccurate time recording will almost certainly lead to a delay in
payment to you.

Signed by yourself and an authorised client representative. If either of

these signatures are missing a delay will almost certainly occur.

Please forward your timesheet to your management

company promptly at the end of each month.
Please also send a copy to Tangent at the following
address helpdesk@tanint.com.

Invoices

Please ensure your limited/management company provide duly

authorised timesheets and other supporting documentation, as required,
with a complete invoice.

Tangent pay electronically. For prompt payment, please ensure that:

- Invoice details are correct and submitted with the corresponding
signed timesheets.
- Expense claims have the appropriate receipt and client authorisation*
and are sent together with the timesheets.
- For your first payment, your payment form has been completed and
returned with your signed contract.

* Please note that whilst Tangent are happy to process legitimate and authorised business expenses we make no charge
whatsoever for this service. This means that it is imperative that all business expenses are properly authorised by
Tangent’s client. It is also important that all receipts are attached and clearly legible. If we are unable to process an
expense claim for whatever reason then we will not be able to reimburse you for it. It is in both of our interests to get
the expense claims correct at the first time of trying. We have attached an example of an expense claim form to this
pack and we ask that you use this unless otherwise directed. All business expenses must be authorised by Tangent’s
client. Please note the that person authorising the expenses must be 'authorised' to do so by the client. If you are in
any doubt please seek assurance.

or AUD equivalent of the values are shown on the invoice along with
the appropriate currency exchange rate.

Code of
Conduct

Make yourself aware and adhere to all client site regulations, working
practices and procedures.

Display a professional manner through punctuality, commitment and by
dressing in a manner appropriate to the client site.

Keep us and the client aware of impending difficulties that may affect your
work in order that we can resolve issues immediately.

Notify Tangent and the client if you are late, ill or have personal difficulties
that may affect your attendance or standard of work.

Any other issues please refer to you account manager.

If you are provided with accommodation please ensure that when you leave
the accommodation is left both clean and tidy and that all breakages are
noted and paid for directly.

If you are provided with company equipment (example Sim Cards, entry
passes, tools) you must return these items immediately on leaving the
project. Failure to do so will almost certainly result in a delay or a stop being
put on your final payment. You would be advised to receive email
confirmation from your client reporting manager that you have returned all
items. Otherwise Tangent will be required to chase this and until such time as
we have received confirmation that all items have been returned we reserve
the right to hold on to all or part of your pay, this money being used to
replace lost items.

Please note that we are very keen to help deal with any issues you may have.
Please in the first instance always contact either the Tangent Helpdesk or
your Account representative. Under no circumstances should you contact our
client representative unless the issue is directly related to your work.
