£70k should be achievable.

Roughly, assume 48 weeks a year, 5 days a week = 240 days

= £291.66 or less that £300 per day, isn't a massive amount.

Its difficult to quantify the value of OOhrs work, I would think that to not do mixed OOH work is worth quite a lot, plus the normal days worked is only three. You need to consider setting a precedent as the full timers may start to think they may take a pay cut for no OOHrs. Maybe its because I did a lot of LA on call in my early years and am now thinking what would I pay not to do LA on call!

Gareth You're less generous than I am.

Chris. My point was that on George's figures the part timer would be earning £28.8 k so to be fair, the full-timers would need to be on £70k

Ah I see, that's the trouble with skim reading at the end of a busy day!

I might have misread what you meant actually.. the £28.8k was part time wasn't it. Still.. £70k sounds nice!

£70k at 10 years qualified?? I'm 9 years qualified and nowhere near that amount! (at least a fair bit above your £28.8k figure though I suppose)

Just wondering if anyone would be willing to share what they consider to be an appropriate salary for a part time mixed vet? 3 days a week, no ooh, 10 years experience, north of England.

Many thanks in advance

I think no ooh for a mixed job is pretty rare and would guess about a third of an fte salary in that practice.

We have a part time vet. Salary was taken as 6 parts - one for each full weekday worked and one for an equal share of OOH and Sat AM. We have a vet doing 1 full day and 2 afternoons and her share of OOH and she gets half her salary.

That's why I wrote what a 10 year qualified veterinary surgeon would be earning!

In a mixed practice the large animal/equine side is highly unlikely to be farmed out, so this would need to be taken into consideration in deciding a fair pro-rata rate.

I don't think it is as simple as Wynne illustrated - although the mathematics to work it out pro rata is basically correct. But I would do it with actual contracted hours, not just 'days worked'.

(Do people still work a full 5 day week?? My vets are on 3.5 or 4 day weeks...which is still usually around 40 hours....!!)

Anyway, you need to know what a full timer in the same practice would be paid, and what hours they would work, and then work it out pro rata.

Thus, my 'part time' vet works 2 1/2 day week but, because the full timers are 'only' on a max 4 day week, her wage is more than just 50% of theirs.

The other part of this is what you're actually worth to them! And that, remember, is up to you to say! Vets are really poor at valuing themselves - as a 10 year graduated vet, who presumably has some experience, you'll be far more valuable than a new grad. If you're 'stable' in the area, and therefore likely to hang around, that adds value too. Do you have any extra qualifications/skills? Add a bit more. You see what I mean?

£200 a day for a 3 day week = £600/week.

Assume Anon works 48 weeks per year.

That's £28,800 per annum.

The full-timers won't be happy - unless earning £70k after 10 years.

£200-250 per day - BUT take into account all the ancillaries like memberships, CPD, duties, holidays, conditions of employment, and so on and on and on.

Work in a job-share but don't get paid holidays or any "normal" 'extras' - because when it started 10 years ago we agreed that it would be on a locum-type basis to fit in with life as it was then. So - don't need to give notice of taking time off (but I do), no paid leave (but I rarely go anywhere). Swings and roundabouts maintained by good communications and a Boss that I rarely see who isn't perched upon my shoulder grumbling. And it pays sufficiently to keep my stock of guitars up, and to maintain my posing-and-pulling-mobile. (The pulling is crap, btw!!)

Assume a ful-timer would do a basic 5 day week plus 1 in 4 weekend and nights.

Over a fortnight this would work out as 11 day sessions and 3 and 1/2 night sessions, i e 14 and 1/2 sessions.

The part-timer would do 6, so is worth 12/29ths of a full-timer.
