SESSIONAL PRACTITIONERS Sample Clauses

The Sessional Practitioners clause defines the terms and conditions under which healthcare professionals are engaged on a sessional, rather than permanent or full-time, basis. It typically outlines the scope of their duties, the duration and frequency of their sessions, and the payment arrangements for their services. By clearly specifying these parameters, the clause ensures both parties understand the flexible, non-permanent nature of the engagement and helps prevent misunderstandings regarding expectations and compensation.
