Vet locums:  self employed contractor vs part time casual employee

Julie South answers the question “what’s the difference between working as an independent self-employed contractor vs part-time casual employee…?”

This is the first in a 3-part series about veterinary locums – either working as one or hiring one in your clinic.

This episode is purpose built if you’re a veterinary professional who’s already a locum (or thinking about becoming a locum) and to veterinary clinics that hire locums.

Employees and independent self-employed contractors each have different legal rights.

It’s important you know what these are and that you’re being hired (or doing the hiring) using the correct criteria as it relates to you.

It covers the four legal tests that differentiate between an employee and an independent self employed contractor and how to know which one applies to you.
