During their contract period, Contractor personnel may be selected to be part of the company’s first response 
team. Participation in this team is mandatory, unless there are special circumstances when Contractor personnel 
cannot or should not participate.
3.7 Timekeeping
Each worker is obliged to follow the Client’s timekeeping system for each assignment. The Client issues a payment 
certificate based on data from the Client’s timekeeping system. Contractor personnel are obliged to ensure that all 
work is recorded through clocking-in and out, unless otherwise explicitly agreed between the Client and Contractor.
If there is a special agreement that clocking-in and out shall not be used, timesheets must be used to record hours 
worked written and contain the following: 
• Project number
• Job/ SFI number
• Specification of the period date / week
• Signature of Contractor personnel
• Approved signature of Client’s supervisor
The timesheets shall also include the number of hours worked each day, excluding all breaks. 
If timekeeping using a card is not to be used, the timesheets must be submitted on an ongoing basis, no later than 
the first Monday after the week in question. 
If clocking in and out is used, the Client will issue a payment certificate. 
The payment certificates will show the number of hours worked per person, project, SFI and the amount the 
Contractor may invoice the Client. The payment certificates will be issued to the Contractor every other week via email, no later than during the Thursday after each work period of 2 weeks. 
The payment certificates will be issued per project and SFI where the Contractor has personnel working for the 
Client. It is Contractor’s responsibility to ensure that the personnel clock-in at the start of work and clock-out at the 
end of work. Failure to clock-in or out will mean that the working hours are not approved and valid and therefore 
cannot be invoiced. 
The Contractor must invoice the Client with one invoice per payment certificate.
4. Mandatory requirements and guidelines
