33. Zero Tolerance Policy

33.1 Our staff comes to work to help and support our customers, and it is important for everyone to be treated with respect. The Learning Station has a duty and responsibility to ensure that all staff can go about their work and professional practice without being subjected to unacceptable behavior. This is in compliance with The Health and Safety at Work Act (1974), which requires all organizations to ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, the health, safety, and welfare at work of their employees. The Learning Station operates a zero-tolerance policy towards harassment and abuse of its staff, which includes (but is not limited to) homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, ageism or harassment or abuse on basis of disability, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, religion or belief. We aim to manage unacceptable behavior in a manner that protects our staff and members of the public wherever it is appropriate and necessary to do so. We recognize that in some circumstances, people may have a disability or mental health problem that may make communication more difficult. Where there is a concern about unacceptable behavior, we will always consider individual needs and circumstances before deciding on how we should respond.

33.2 If we receive abusive language through online communication or via a letter, we will not respond. If we receive verbal abuse over the telephone, we will end the phone call.

33.3 DEFINITION: Unacceptable behavior includes (but is not limited to): • Offensive or abusive language, verbal abuse, and swearing including specific references to homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia (whether aimed at or conducted by either clients or staff) • Any physical violence towards any member of the charity team or other clients such as pushing or shoving • Racial abuse and sexual harassment • Loud and intrusive conversation • Persistent or unrealistic demands that cause stress to staff. Requests will be met wherever possible, and explanations are given when they cannot • Unwanted or abusive remarks • Negative, malicious, or stereotypical comments • Invasion of personal space • Brandishing of objects or weapons • Near misses i.e., unsuccessful physical assaults • Threats, or risk of serious injury to a member of staff, fellow client or visitors • Bullying or victimization • Intimidation, including acting in a way which inspires fear, demands great respect or frightens into submission • Stalking • Spitting • Alcohol or drug-fuelled abuse • Unreasonable behavior and non-cooperation • Any of the above which is linked to destruction of or damage to property.

33.4 It is important to remember that such behavior can be either in person, by telephone, by letter or e-mail, or by another form of communication such as graffiti on our property. This policy applies throughout the company including our premises. It also applies to any staff member away from the office/test center, but only in so far as it relates to the business of the company.

33.5 Any incidents of abusive or threatening behaviors towards our staff will be taken very seriously. We recognize that violence, aggression, and abuse at work is distressing and damaging to the health and well-being of those involved. Support and assistance will therefore be made available to anyone affected. Should a member of our staff feel they are being exposed to unacceptable behavior, the matter will be passed immediately to our director, who will attempt to resolve matters to ensure the continuation of services where possible. Appropriate risk assessments will be conducted to assess and review the duties of the staff member, identify any "at-risk" situations, and take appropriate steps to reduce or remove the risk to staff, particularly if they are working alone. However, this may involve reducing direct contact with the staff member involved in the first instance, and/ or our director being in attendance during any contact (for example, meetings). Should the situation persist, this may result in removal from our services and all interventions ceasing with immediate effect. This will not affect this agreement or reduce your liability to pay for the course as agreed above as per point 20.3 above. There will be no appeal process in these circumstances. In some cases, this may also involve reporting incidents to the local police or safeguarding boards.

  • Participants can refer friends, family members, colleagues, or other contacts to the Provider through the provided referral link.
  • Payee’s (those who have been referred) must be new customers to the Provider.
  • Referees must complete a qualifying purchase or registration as specified by the Provider to be eligible for referral rewards.

3. Referral Rewards

  • Referees (participants who make referrals) may be eligible to receive a reward for transactions paid in full or via instalments.
  • Referral rewards are based off the first and only transaction made to the Provider.
  • Referral rewards are only awarded to Referees that have provided information on a potential Payee (i.e., they cannot have made the transaction already).
  • Referral rewards are only awarded if Referees have completed the necessary steps laid out in the ‘Referral Program Welcome Pack’. Referees will receive the ‘Referral Program Welcome Pack’ upon submission of the Application Form, and a consultation with the Provider.
  • Referral rewards are based off the funds received by the Provider, and where transactions have been subject to further charges, these are not included in the referral reward. (Charges include but are not limited to credit card charges, oversees charges, transfers etc.)

For example, if a product is on sale for £1000.00 but the Payee makes payment with an American Express card, the Provider is charged £10.00 for the transaction. This means our total funds received is £990.00. This is the transaction amount that will determine the reward rate that Referee’s will receive.

  • Referral rewards are based on the transaction exclusive of VAT.

For example, if a product is on sale for £1000.00, the transaction exclusive of VAT is £833.33. This means our total funds received is £833.33. This is the transaction amount that will determine the reward rate that Referee’s will receive.

  • The Referee will be sent an invoice for all referred successful orders, once the 14-day cancellation period has expired. The invoice period will be between 25th of the first month and 24th of the second month. All sales will be invoiced and paid by the 7th of the month.

For example, if a transaction is made in full on the 23rd of April, the reward will be invoiced by the 7th of May, If a transaction is made in full on the 26th April then the reward will be invoiced by the 7th of June.

  • Once invoiced the Provider agrees to pay each invoice within 30 days.
  • The Provider reserves the right to modify or terminate the reward structure at any time.

3.1. Transactions paid in full

  • Referees (participants who make referrals) may be eligible to receive a reward for transactions paid in full.
  • Referees will receive a 10% commission rate for every transaction sold to the Payee, to a maximum of GBP £175.00 per transaction.

For example, if the transaction is GBP £60.00 (exclusive of VAT = £50.00), the Referee is entitled to GBP £5.00.
For example, if the transaction is GBP £2100.00, the Referee is entitled to GBP £150.00. (Even though 10% of £2160.00 (exclusive of VAT = £1800.00) is £180.00, the Referee’s maximum entitlement per transaction is £175.00.)

3.2 Transactions paid in instalments

  • Referees (participants who make referrals) may be eligible to receive a reward for transactions paid in instalments.
  • Referees are only eligible to receive a reward rate based on the first 2 transactions made and will not be receive rewards on further instalments made by the Payee.
  • Referees will receive a 20% reward rate for every transaction sold to the Payee, to a maximum of GBP £175.00 per transaction.

For example, if the first instalment transaction is GBP £60.00 (exclusive of VAT = £50.00), the Referee is entitled to GBP £10.00.
For example, if the first instalment transaction is GBP £1080.00, the Referee is entitled to GBP £175.00. (Even though 20% of £1080.00 (exclusive of VAT = £900.00) is £180.00, the Referee’s maximum entitlement per transaction is £175.00.)

  • Referees will receive the full reward rate for both transactions after both transactions have been successfully paid. This will be added to the invoice 60 days after the first sale was made. If the Payee does not make their following instalment within 60 days of the initial sale going through, the Referee will not be able to receive a reward rate.

For example, the first instalment is paid successfully on 23rd of April, but the second instalment is due 30 days later on 23rd of May and if it is not made within a further 30 days i.e. between 23rd of May and 23rd June. Rhe Referee is not owed any reward rate including the first transaction made.

  • The Referee’s monthly invoice paid on 7th of the month will include instalment plan referrals within the 25th of the first month and 24th of the second month where both the 1st and 2nd monthly instalment were successfully paid i.e. when the 2nd monthly instalment has been paid, both transaction rewards will be added to the next invoice.

For example, if a transaction is made via monthly instalments on the 23rd of April, and then the 2nd instalment is successfully paid on 23rd of May, the reward will be invoiced by the 7th of June.
If a transaction is made via monthly instalments on the 29th of April, and then the 2nd instalment is successfully paid on 26th June (paid within 30 days of being due on 29th of May), the reward will be invoiced by the 7th of August. 

3.3 Examples:

Example A: Robert (Referee) has referred Patrick (Payee) to the Provider and Patrick has purchased a Level 5 Diploma at £1500.00 in full.

Steps and calculations to receive reward:

    1. Remove the VAT from the transaction = £1500.00 - £250.00 (VAT) = £1250.00
    2. 10% of £1250.00 = £125.00
    3. Robert has earned a £125.00 reward for the £1500.00 sale

 

Example B: Ricky (Referee) has referred Penelope (Payee) to the Provider and Penelope has purchased a Level 3 Diploma, paying in instalments of £150.00 per month for 12 months starting in January.

Steps and calculations to receive reward:

    1. Remove the VAT from the transaction = £150.00 - £25.00 (VAT) = £125.00
    2. 20% of £125.00 = £25.00

Penelope must make her first 2 monthly instalments before the reward is valid.  Penelope has successfully paid her first 2 monthly instalments of £150.00 each, totalling £300.00.

    1. 20% of £125.00 = £25.00
    2. Ricky has earned a £50.00 reward for the two £150.00 transactions. He will receive it within his March invoice.

 

Example C: Rachel (Referee) has referred Phillip (Payee) to the Provider and Phillip has purchased a Level 3 Diploma, paying in instalments of £150.00 per month for 12 months starting on 1st January.

Steps and calculations to receive reward:

    1. Remove the VAT from the transaction = £150.00 - £25.00 (VAT) = £125.00
    2. 20% of £125.00 = £25.00

Phillip must make his first 2 monthly instalments before the reward is valid. Phillip’s second instalment is due on 1st February. As of 1st March, he has not paid his second instalment.

    1. Rachel will NOT receive the £50.00 reward for the two £150.00 transactions, as Phillip did not make his second instalment on time.
