Are you wondering if locuming’s for you?

 If you’re thinking of chucking in your day job to pick up the Instagram-glamorous lifestyle of the footloose and fancy free, high rolling life of the locum, then this episode is for you!

Here are 11 considerations I recommend you take into account before you rush to hand in your resignation:

#1 – unpredictability 

#2 – admin

#3 – follow up and follow through

#4 – have lots of referees

#5 - >3 years post grad experience

#6 – you need to be a people person

#7 – travel & nights away

#8 – you need to be able to say “no” 

#9 – money in the bank – Rainy Day Funds

10 – nowhere to call home

#11 – test drive a new job

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.
