Is an LPD agreement really necessary in all circumstances? My father is a physician who does locums tenens; he has never heard of LPD and thinks if I provide relief work for a number of veterinarians, it would be impossible to classify me as an employee of, say, 5 or 6 different clinics. Locums physicians are not expected to provide their own equipment.

Good question and difficult to answer. LPD is designed for veterinarians not as knowledgable about locum tenens as you and your father. While there may be a legal presumption that physicians, scientists, attorneys, cpas, etc may be treated as locums, veterinarians are not usually included in this group. I have no explanation why not, just the experience of dealing with it. The point is to be careful when structuring an employment relationship. Working at multiple hospitals is only one of many factors that count toward a locum's classification.

Good luck.

A contract it is always necessary. No matter how many hospitals you work on, you are still an independent contractor (this assuming that you are a corporation).
A contract protect you and your employer. If something happen to you, with a contract you will be able to have do something (compensation). Now it is even more important to have the "deal" clear. Had happened to me that many owners "change" or forget what they told you or agreed originally, including number of hours, closing time (a big one), etc.
