ABF BBO OPERATORS TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ENGAGEMENT

In accepting this engagement as a BBO operator, you acknowledge and accept the following terms and conditions:

1. You will quote an ABN on a tax invoice or provide a completed Statement by a Supplier form stating why you are NOT quoting an ABN (the form will be sent to you). If the ABF already holds a duly completed form you do not need to provide one again if your circumstances are unchanged.
2. The term “specifically engaged” means you were offered and accepted employment as a BBO operator for specific sessions/boards prior to the start of the event. The term “casually engaged” means you were offered and accepted employment as a BBO operator for specific sessions/boards after the start of the event.  An event starts on the first day bridge is played. 
3. Where a BBO session you have been specifically engaged to operate at is cancelled (e.g. due to a concession by one of the competing teams, other reason beyond your control), you will receive payment as if you had worked the session.
4. Where a BBO session you have been casually engaged to operate at is cancelled (e.g. due to a concession by one of the competing teams, other reason beyond your control), you will receive half the payment as if you had worked the session.
5. If you turn up late for your BBO session and a substitute operator was engaged, you forfeit your right to payment of any kind.
6. Claims for reimbursable expenses (e.g. travel costs) will only be paid for specifically engaged operators, pre-approved by the BBO Organiser and upon provision of a valid tax invoice or receipt.
7. The ABF supplies all necessary equipment to perform the function.
8. BBO operators are not commentators and are there to ensure they convey necessary information on bidding and play, not opinion.
9. There are two rates of pay for BBO operators. Preferred payment method is by direct bank deposit.
