EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS

Compensation, Benefits and Non-Competes: What to Get in Writing? (2-3 hours)

Many associate veterinarians accept employment positions and many employers hire employees without ever having signed or fully negotiated the terms of an employment agreement. The importance for veterinary associates and employers to have a clear understanding of their working relationship cannot be overemphasized. Too often disputes and misunderstandings arise because the parties failed to articulate their interests, desires, and expectations. A written employment contract sets out and defines the terms of employment and helps to ensure that the parties honor their side of the bargain. This presentation provides a review of the many issues that are salient to an employment relationship and gives the attendees some negotiating skills.

Is Your “Independent Contractor” an “Employee”? Why Practice Owners Should Care About the Difference. (1 Hour)

Who decides if the person working for you is an independent contractor? Veterinarians are often hired as independent contractors under the assumption it saves everyone money. Unfortunately, it doesn’t and if the IRS or your state determines the worker is really an employee, it’s the employer that pays the penalty. Find out what it takes to be an independent contractor and why being an employee may be the best option (and perhaps the only option) for the best working relationship.
