As described in this Employee Handbook, and wherever used in connection with my J Kent Employment or any Employment Opportunity offered by J Kent, the following words will mean:

Assignment means a Temporary Assignment, a Temp-to-Perm Assignment or a Temp-to-Hire Assignment for a Client.

Temporary Assignment means that you have accepted an offer to work for a Client for an indefinite period of time of less than one day or such greater period of time as determined by the Client. Temporary Assignments may have Full-Time Regular Employment opportunities dependent upon the preference of the Client.

Temp-To-Perm Assignment means a Temporary Assignment you accepted and worked for a Client that thereafter the Client decides will be converted to a Full-Time Regular Employment opportunity that you then also accept.

Temp-To-Hire Assignment means that you have accepted an offer to work for a Client for a specified number of hours or period of time as determined by the Client in order to provide the Client an opportunity to evaluate your qualifications and job performance in the Client's work setting and determine, in its absolute discretion, whether the Client will hire you for Full-Time Regular Employment. By your acceptance of a Temp-to-Hire Assignment, you are not assured that you will receive an offer of Full-Time Regular Employment from the Client.
