Overview
Planned leave from the practice is an important part of maintaining wellbeing and work-life balance as a dental associate. Taking time away from the practice is a matter of personal choice, but it must be managed in a way that respects contractual obligations and supports smooth practice operations.
Leave should be planned and communicated in a professional and timely way. Poorly coordinated or frequent absences can have contractual and commercial implications, both for the practice and the associate. We outline how associates can approach planned leave constructively and professionally.
