Free Veterinary Technician (Relief)
Service Agreement
One botched dosage or a malpractice claim without a contract means you're losing your license and your life savings in one afternoon. Don't let a clinic turn you into their professional scapegoat when their gear fails or their staff cuts corners.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a 'Short-Notice Cancellation Fee' to ensure you get paid your full rate if the clinic bumps your shift with less than 48 hours' notice.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Veterinary Technician (Relief), "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do if the clinic tries to stiff me on overtime when the last surgery runs late?
Stop working for free; put a 'Late-Stay Premium' in your contract that kicks in the minute your shift ends so the clinic respects your clock.
The clinic manager is asking me to do things that aren't in my job description. How do I stop the creep?
Use your 'Scope of Services' clause as a shield—if the task isn't on that list, tell them it requires a written change order and a rate adjustment.
What happens if I show up and their equipment is broken or unsafe to use?
Your contract should state you have the right to refuse unsafe work without forfeiting pay, ensuring you aren't liable for their faulty gear.
