Of course, we sign agreements between us. Documentation that clearly describes and states conditions and requirements. Fee, time, scope, work placement, notice period and other things. Everything to create both clarity and security.

The consultant undertakes to go through Trib for any further assignments with the client twelve months after the last completed project. The same applies to the client.

Of course, the consultant always has the right to perform assignments for other clients as well, unless these assignments affect the consultant’s ability to fulfill its obligations to the client. But, the consultant undertakes not to take on consulting assignments for companies that conduct directly competing activities with the client during the contract period.

In the event that the consultant’s commitment or other assignments may from time to time be questioned from a loyalty and interest perspective, the consultant shall immediately inform Trib and the client of such circumstances. This obligation must be fulfilled before a commitment or assignment is accepted by the consultant.

The consultant does not have the right to hire a sub-consultant without first obtaining both Trib’s and the client’s approval. In this case, the sub-consultant’s conditions towards the consultant must also be approved in writing by Trib and the client.

An assignment is often extended. Some things may then need to be adjusted contractually. Trib will as your agent have an ongoing dialogue with the client during the assignment and will negotiate any extensions for you. Of course, always in fully transparent collaboration with you.

The most common is that the consultant is paid per hour. Where the assignment contract itself contains information about the number of hours planned per month or for the entire period. But there is also the possibility of agreeing a fixed fee for a specific period or delivery. The opportunities are many, as long as everyone agrees and expectations are clear.

When it comes to both fees and payment, clarity and transparency are paramount. All such is negotiated in advance and formulated in common agreements. All payment is then made via Trib. A percentage surcharge is added by Trib, depending on the complexity, length and scope of the assignment.

The consultant is entitled to compensation for verified expenses that have arisen within the framework of the execution of the assignment, provided that such expenses have been approved in advance in writing by the responsible manager at the client.

Unless otherwise agreed, 30 days payment applies.

The standard termination period between the client and the consultant is one month, for assignments longer than three months. A termination is activated by a written notice to Trib.
