TEMI Connect

I have a few questions but do not think I need help with a full project. Can you still help me?

Sure, as your Industry body we are an independent voice – here to help you with your global workforce management questions. So no matter how big or small the question is, you can contact us via the Chat facility or you can submit an Enquiry. Someone will give you a call to discuss your question – no fees, no obligation. Visit TEMI Connect for more information.

If I submit a project or enquiry request, will I incur any costs?

Absolutely not. When you submit your enquiry the TEMI team will consider your needs and refer you to the most suitable Subject Matter Expert, who will then contact you to discuss your query in more depth. No obligations. No Fees. Refer to TEMI Connect for more information.

What does a Discovery Session include? Is there a fee?

The Discovery Session is all about helping you determine the most appropriate way forward. The Advisor will assess your initial request and depending on the nature of your enquiry either email you with a quick answer, call you to get a bit more information or recommend you meet in person. This discussion is at no cost to you.

What is a Service Proposal?

A service proposal is provided when your query requires a comprehensive or technical response. During the Discovery Session you and your advisor will have talked about your needs and identified if a service proposal is warranted. If it is, the advisor will document the scope of the project based on your discussions, highlight your desired outcomes and provide you with a fee quote. If are comfortable that the service proposal captures your needs, that the team has the capabilities to assist you, and you are happy with the fee quote, you simply click ‘accept’ to the Advisor’s offer of support. If for some reason, you decide not to proceed with the Advisor’s offer, you may ‘reject’ the offer. The choice is yours.

What happens after I accept the Service Proposal?

Once you click ‘accept’ the Advisor will discuss with you the project key milestones and relevant time lines. They will agree any preferred payment plans and clarify any information required to begin the project. A contract will be drawn up between you and your advisor and once signed, work will commence. If the project requires technical experts across multiple areas (eg: taxation, immigration, employment law, corporate finance, human resources, workforce planning specialists etc) your Advisor will act as the Project Lead ensuring you receive an invoice from one advisor only.

How will I know if my enquiry has been received?

You will receive an immediate response acknowledging your enquiry and providing you with a reference number. This reference number is how we track and monitor your enquiry and your project if you decide to move ahead. You will then be contacted by a subject matter expert who will discuss your enquiry with you.

Are the Advisors employees of TEMI?

No. All advisors that make up the TEMI Connect community are independent business owners. When you accept an offer from one of the Advisors you are engaging their business. All Advisors are required to have the relevant qualifications and insurances required to deliver the services you have engaged them for.

How can I pay the Advisors for the work done?

We want to ensure you are fully protected every step of the way. All TEMI Connect Advisors use an escrow account to manage the funds transfer process. You have a range of on-line payment options available to you – internet banking, BPay or Credit Card. Alternatively, if you do not want to pay on-line, you can pay via direct debit into an Advisor’s business bank account. The choice is yours.

What is an escrow account?

As we want you to have peace of mind, TEMI Connect recommend using Escrow Angel to process all on-line payments. Escrow Angel is an online escrow and transaction management service that acts as a trusted third party who holds funds during a transaction between a Buyer and Seller and only releases the funds when what has been agreed between the parties has been fulfilled.

What are the benefits of using an escrow account?

Basically it is all about peace of mind.

Your money is protected since the funds are paid to Escrow Angel and not directly to the Advisor!

You only release the funds to the Advisor once you have confirmed delivery of the agreed services!

You have the convenience of paying via a range of on-line payment options via internet banking, BPAY or credit card from the comfort of your computer, tablet or smartphone!

You do not have to go to the bank to obtain a bank cheque.

In the event of a dispute, your funds are securely held by Escrow Angel and only released once the dispute has been resolved.

Your funds are held under the secure custody of National Australia Trustees!

TEMI Connect has chosen Escrow Angel as our preferred escrow transaction service because we are serious about our business integrity and the integrity of the TEMI Connect Advisory community.

How do I set up an escrow account?

The good news is that it is very quick and easy to set up an escrow account. Even better it is FREE!

Do I have to pay using an escrow account?

No – You can transfer the funds directly to the Advisor’s bank account in line with the agreed payment terms and timelines.

The choice is yours.
