Is it policy that clinics may pay a relief veterinarian by mailing a check as many as 10 days after service is rendered?
Payment of fees should be discussed after a bid is accepted and before the first work date. When you first initiate contact with the hospital during the course of that conversation a well-timed’ when may I expect payment?’ should be all that is required. Most payment issues when they arise are due to the relief veterinarian’s anticipation, during a hospital’s check writing cycles. Ten days is a bit long, but ok. It should be noted that if you bid an hourly rate usually the owner/check writer is not around during your time there. Leave behind an invoice that includes and itemizes your hours and total amount owed. In ALL instances, provide the hospital with a W-9 form indicating your correct address and tax identification number. Consider making additional allowances when a check is coming from an off-site corporate office.
