Overtime fees begin at 15 minutes after the end of my scheduled shift. Overtime is billed in 15 minute increments at 1.5 times the regular relief rate.

A contract will be emailed or faxed to you with the requested relief days and hours listed.  All contracts must be signed and returned in 72 hours to reserve the relief dates requested.  No verbal contracts will be honored. 

CANCELLATION POLICY
Conflicts and changes in scheduling due arise.  Relief dates can often be changed or adjusted when requested 60 to 90 days in advance.  I am reserving the relief dates for your hospital and often declining other relief work requests.  A cancellation fee of 50% of each relief date fee will be charged to any dates cancelled within 30 days. This fee may be waived in special circumstances only.  

BILLING
Relief shift billing is done by Invoice on the 15th and 31st of the month. You will receive an invoice by email or fax on the last day of the billing period. Payment is due within two weeks unless other prior arrangements have been made. Late fees will be applied to any outstanding invoices after 30 days. 

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR STATUS
I am an independent veterinary contractor. I pay all my own income, medicare, and social security taxes.  My relief fees incorporate costs associated with maintaining my veterinary licenses and insurance policies.
