ESM4062 - Particular occupations: doctors - locums
Doctors also act as locums for other doctors. The word 바카라 사이트檒ocum바카라 사이트� comes from 바카라 사이트檒ocum tenens바카라 사이트� which means 바카라 사이트檛aking the place of바카라 사이트檂. Such locum posts can be either be in general practice or within the NHS.
Where a locum stands in the place of another doctor, it should not be assumed that the locum would have the same status. Their terms of engagement may be very different.
Some doctors who describe themselves as locums may in fact be engaged to assist a doctor in general practice rather than to take the doctor바카라 사이트檚 place. The earnings of such assistants are usually chargeable as employment income and subject to Class 1 NICs.
It is essential to ascertain the contractual terms of any engagement and to review status in the normal way (see ESM0500 onwards)
