Advice on work contract

I'll third that, it's in my contract too.
They're probably all the same contracts off the BDA website

i have the same in my contract, as do all the nurses at my practise.

Hi Robina,

It says the same in my contract. I think it is a standard thing. I wouldn't worry about it too much as if your practice is anything like most practices all over the country you'll be hard pushed to not have enough work.

At my practice we have 8 nurses and 5 dentists, all the nurses have the same thing in their contracts. I am pretty sure it is just standard.

hope this helps

Hi,

I've received my employment contract and there is a section titled Lay Off.
It says if the practice has no work available due to shortage of patients or absence of a dentist that they have the right to lay you off work without pay and I would be eligible for payments up to 5 days in any period of three months.

As this is the first nursing position I have taken in the UK, I wanted to find out if this is a standard condition of employment for dental nurses here?
