Welcome to Indeed Flex Plus! The Indeed Flex Plus Service is an online platform which allows businesses (each such business being the “Client”) to connect with and manage a pool of workers sourced by and employed by the Client (“Workers”) by posting, offering and managing engagements for the provision of services known as “shifts”. These Indeed Flex Plus Guidelines (the “Indeed Flex Plus Guidelines”) govern the use by a Client’s Workers of the Indeed Flex Plus platform. Indeed Flex Plus is separate and distinct from Indeed Flex (“Flex”) which is an external online platform (https://indeedflex.co.uk/ in the United Kingdom or https://indeedflex.co.uk/ in the United States) that connects Clients looking to engage external temporary staff supplied by Indeed Flex (“Flexers”) on an ad hoc basis to meet particular requirements, such as covering events.
Flexers are subject to a separate set of terms and conditions which govern the use by Flexers of the services offered by Flex and the terms and conditions on which Flexers are supplied to Clients (in United Kingdom, the “Indeed Flex Community Guidelines”; in the United States the “Flexer Terms and Conditions”). Consequently, if a Client engages Flexers through the Indeed Flex Plus online platform:
the Indeed Flex Community Guidelines or Flexer Terms and Conditions (between Indeed Flex and each Flexer) govern Flex’s agreement with Flexers; and
the Indeed Flex Terms and Conditions (the “Terms of Service ”) (between Indeed Flex and the Client) govern Flex’s supply of Flexers to the Client.
SECTION 1 – TERMS FOR WORKER USE OF THE PLATFORM
Section 1 of these Indeed Flex Plus Guidelines are a contractual agreement between Flex and a Worker which govern use by the Worker of the technology services provided by Flex to Clients via Flex’s Indeed Flex Plus website, web application (accessible via the following URLs https://portal.indeedflex.co.uk/ or https://portal.indeedflex.co.uk/, as applicable by location) and mobile applications (iOS and Android). Such services, website and mobile applications are hereinafter together referred to as the “Service”. In the United States of America, the Service is operated by Indeed Flex, Inc. 6433 Champion Grandview Way, Austin, Texas 78750. In the United Kingdom, the Service is operated by Syft Online Limited of 20 Farringdon Road, London, EC1M 3HE, UK (company registration number: 09372516) referred to as “Syft”, “we”, “our”, “us” and the “Company”.
If you are a Worker (as defined below), please read these Indeed Flex Plus Guidelines carefully and in conjunction with the Flex Privacy Policy before using the Service. Your use of the Service constitutes your acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions set out in this Section 1.
If you are a Client, please refer to the Indeed Flex Plus Terms and Conditions, along with any other agreement which may be in place between Flex and the Client, such as a Flex Service Level Agreement (if applicable), and the Flex Privacy Policy, which govern your use of the Service. Clients should also refer to the terms they enter into directly with Workers who make use of the Service.
Flex reserves the right, from time to time, with or without notice, to change these Indeed Flex Plus Guidelines at its sole discretion. The latest version will be made available on the Service with the date that it was last updated. Flex will notify Workers by way of notice on the Indeed Flex Plus online platform when any changes are posted. By using the Service after any changes have been posted, the Worker agrees to the new terms.

7.1 Workers are not obliged to apply for any Assignments and, upon applying for an Assignment, are not obliged to accept any subsequent Engagement which may be offered.

The Client’s Terms with the Worker govern any Engagement which a Worker agrees to undertake and the cancellation of such Engagement.

In conjunction with the Worker’s use of the Services, Flex and the Client will collect and process information relating to the Worker in accordance with their respective privacy notices. Flex’s Privacy Policy identifies any way in which it acts as Controller of the Worker’s personal data and is found here https://hrtechprivacy.com/brands/indeedflex.
8.2 By using the Service, the Worker may be required by the Client to provide a photograph of himself or herself that may be used by the Client for identification and security clearance purposes; for example, if an Engagement requires security clearance, Flex may request a Worker to supply a photograph and provide this to the Client which may pass on necessary details to the relevant authorities.
9. Immigration Compliance
9.1 The Client may be obliged to confirm that the Worker has the legal right to work in the place of employment. The Worker’s use of the Service is subject to and conditional upon the Worker being at all times authorized to work in the location of employment by and the Worker’s ability to provide legally sufficient evidence to satisfy right to work regulations in the location of employment.
