Worker agreement

Skillmatch Trades is a product of Division 1 Systems Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales with company number 17300786. Its registered office is 128 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX. This agreement is between you and Division 1 Systems Ltd, called “we” here.

Skillmatch introduces self-employed tradespeople to businesses that need work done. We are an employment agency in the sense of the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003: we introduce you, and the business engages you directly. We do not employ you and we do not pay your wages.

You are self-employed (a sole trader or through your own limited company). Skillmatch cannot be used for work through an umbrella company or on a PAYE agency contract.

Using Skillmatch is free for you: joining, being matched and being booked. Nothing comes out of your day rate. Businesses pay us; you do not.

If we ever add paid features for workers, we will tell you first, and you will not be charged unless you choose one.

You can work for anyone, through us or not. Turning down or ignoring work sent through Skillmatch is always your choice.

Matching uses the cards and tickets you add with their photo, as you enter them, shown as not checked until a business that books you checks them, or we do. A card the law requires to be checked, such as Gas Safe, counts only once it has been checked. If a business’s check finds a card doesn’t match, your bookings with that business end. The first time you say you are interested in a job from a business outside your own workforce, we ask you to show it’s you, once, with an identity check done by Stripe. A business that books you checks your right to work in the UK itself, before you start.

What you tell us is shown as what you told us until it is checked.

A booking is for you personally. You cannot send someone else in your place, and sites check who has arrived each day.

A business sees your trade, grade and cards, each card showing whether and by whom it has been checked, and your availability and your area (never your home address), and only once you are ready to be booked. Your contact details are shared with a business only when you are booked with them.

You choose which businesses outside your own workforce can find you, and you can change that at any time.

A business that invited you sees your passport only if you agree to share it with them, and you can stop sharing at any time.

If we change this agreement in a way that matters, we will ask you to accept the new version before you take new work. Work you are already booked on continues under the version you agreed to.
