Young Vets To insist on Contract Of Employment

A survey has found that around 24% of young vetinarian graduates are working without a contract of employment. Worse still, most of these graduates know they are working without a contract but have not asked for one because they know bosses are dismissing them.

Contracts of Employment are extremely important within any working network as it outlines employee’s rights and roles within the company. Duties and responsibilities are addressed in a contract and without one there is no way to defend against unfair dismissal or other problems that come about.

The British Veterinary Association’s Young Vet Network are campaigning to make new graduates and existing young vets aware of Contracts of Employment, why they are important and why they must be in place.

They are hoping this campaign makes less young vets vulnerable within the work place.
