      - Invoices should be submitted at the end of the job/month as appropriate.
      - we only pay for hours worked - we do not pay for lost/cancelled/postponed/sickness or holiday days

    3. THKC will pay invoices within a week following submission and our CIS payments are made when requested by our accountant and/or HMRC.

    4. Health & Safety;
      - You must be aware of, and adhere to your duties and responsibilities under the Health & Safety at Work Act

    7. On occasion, work will be need to be moved/postponed at short notice due to issues beyond our control. This is unfortunate but all sub-contractors working with us are to understand that there may be a last minute cancellation and/or change of dates. We try to minimise this as much as possible but its sometimes unavoidable. These days may be used to complete work needed at other site(s) or the showrooms but this is not guaranteed.
