Organizer Terms of Use

IF YOU INTEND TO USE HYRESTAFF.COM (THE “WEBSITE”) OR ITS MOBILE APPLICATIONS TO LOCATE AND FIND STAFF, THEN THESE TERMS OF USE AND THE HYRE PRIVACY POLICY GOVERN YOUR USE OF THE SITE AND SERVICES SO PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY.

BY USING THIS WEBSITE YOU INDICATE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS OF USE. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS OF USE, THEN DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE OR ANY OF ITS CONTENT OR SERVICES.

  1. Service Overview. Hyre is an online marketplace that connects staff (including servers, bartenders, cleaners, general labor, etc.) who are registered on the Website (“Staff”) with organizers who are registered to use our Website (“Organizers”). The Hyre service (the “Service”) enables Organizers to hire Staff for their work shifts (“Shifts”).
  2. Registering as an Organizer. In creating an account on the Website, You must select a user name and password to log in and out of your profile. You may add optional information to Your profile such as Your experience as an organizer and the types of Shifts You typically organize. This information will be stored in accordance with our Privacy Policy which You should read carefully before providing any personal information through the Website and Service.
  3. How the Service Works. After you register on the Website and create a user account, You will be able to search for and send requests to Staff to work at your Shifts. You may use the drop-down menu to search for and select individuals with particular positions (i.e. Server, Bartender, Cleaner, General Labor, etc.). You may also select a Staff to act as supervisor for Your Shifts ( “Supervisor” ). The Supervisor is a Staff who acts as the main liaison between the Organizer and Staff hired to work Your Shifts. You may select the minimum star rating you desire for each selected position, thereby eliminating Staff with lower star ratings from seeing these Shifts. You are required to input an hourly wage You wish to pay each Staff (for each position and timeslot you select). You may also select the attire You wish Staff to bring to the Shift. Additional shift information such as the meeting spot, contact name and number, and Shift details are also required.
  4. Fees and Cancellations. In order to use the Service, You must pay the transaction fee (included in the total hourly wage that you select for each position and timeslot). You are required to input your credit card details 48 hours prior to the scheduled time of the Shifts. After the Shifts, You are required to log into your profile and verify the hours worked for each Staff and You will receive an invoice. Once You confirm this invoice, your credit card will be charged. If the Shifts are cancelled less than 48 hours before the scheduled start times of the Shifts, You will be charged a cancellation fee equal to 4 hours of pay for each Staff confirmed for that Shift. For all shifts with over 10 shifts booked (i.e. timeslots), the cancellation timeframe increases by one week for every 10 shifts (i.e. 40 shifts booked, 4 weeks notice is needed). For all shifts with over 50 shifts booked (i.e. timeslots), a 50% deposit is required at the time of booking.
  5. No Poaching. For the term of this Agreement and for the period of six (6) months thereafter, without the prior written consent of the other party, You shall not, either directly or indirectly, solicit or entice away (or seek or attempt to entice away) a Staff you connected with through Hyre. If there is suspicion of such solicitation activities, Hyre will invoice the Organizer for an amount equivalent to up to 30% of the projected yearly salary of the Staff.
  6. No Endorsement. Staff who indicate that they have special expertise (i.e. Kosher-style, Sanitization, etc.) go through a basic screening process before they join the Website consisting of a brief online test designed to confirm such expertise. However, it is Your sole responsibility to verify whether the qualifications and expertise of any particular Staff You select to work at Your Shifts meets your requirements. You may do this through asking questions or requesting certifications directly from the Staff at the time of Your Shift. We only facilitate the engagement of Organizers with Staff and we do not and cannot endorse any services offered by Staff. We also cannot oversee the Staff or the Shifts. You therefore acknowledge and agree that if You elect to engage with any Staff, such dealings are solely between You and the Staff and Hyre shall not have any responsibility or liability for any losses or damages that You may incur as a result of any such dealings.
  7. Disputes and Complaints. If You are dissatisfied with a Staff, You will have 48 hours after the Shift has taken place to lodge a formal complaint with us by emailing HR@HyreStaff.com which will enable You to record Your complaint and transmit it to us. We will try to resolve any dispute which relates to non-attendance by the Staff or any abusive or seriously unprofessional conduct by the Staff during the Shift. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve disputes and provide an outcome within 14 days of Your submitting Your complaint.
