Employment Related Publications

In this section you will be able to find some publications related to employment issues.

  • Problem Clauses in Employment Contracts

    This booklet gives examples of employment contract clauses that pharmacists and pre-registration graduates should avoid to ensure that they are not disadvantaged in the event of a dispute with their employer.

  • Contract for Locum Services as a Locum

    It is advisable, to limit any doubt or ambiguity between two parties, that Locums have a written contract for services when agreeing an assignment, either for a specific period of time, or on an ongoing basis. This publication is a draft agreement that meets the criteria of the Inland Revenue and provides a Locum with a balanced proposed contract to enter into negotiations with the employer. The absence of such an agreement or the exclusive imposition of the employers' terms may put the locum at a disadvantage.

  • Contract for Locum Services as a limited company

    This is a similar document to the above, with amended clauses to take into account the difference in status.

  • PDA Locum Booklet - Rights & Responsibilities

    In 2009 we handled nearly 3000 queries of which over a fifth involved locum contract disputes. As such incidents are becoming more frequent, we have responded to our members' wishes by producing this guide to clarify your rights and to set realistic expectations in remedying any dispute or professional dilemma.
