Rates

Currently, my fee for veterinary relief services is $150 per hour on weekdays and $200 per hour on Saturdays and holidays.

It's important to understand that as an independent contractor, I handle my own share of taxes, including Medicare and Social Security (self-employment tax). Additionally, I cover expenses such as workers' compensation, malpractice insurance, general liability insurance, and health insurance. I also manage my own continuing education, office supplies, and travel/accommodation expenses. These rates reflect not only these expenditures but also my extensive experience in veterinary medicine.

Minimum Booking

Minimum booking is 10 hours weekdays, 6 hours on Saturday. However, this can also be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Cancellation Policy

I acknowledge that there are instances where scheduled work may need to be canceled. If a cancellation is made more than 30 days prior to the scheduled date, no fee will be incurred. However, cancellations made within 30 days of the agreed-upon schedule will result in a percentage of the contracted fee being charged.

Cancelation Fees:

• 100% of fees for less than 7 days notice

• 75% of fees for 1-2 weeks notice

• 50% of fees for 2-4 weeks notice

• No fee for cancellations greater than 30 days notice.

  
  This fee may be waived in special circumstances only.

Billing

You will typically receive an invoice within 24-48 hours of work being completed. Invoices are due within 2 weeks of receiving the invoice. This can also be timed with your payroll.
