No claims on the record.
The other side
Read that way, the vet tech who stays late with a dying dog has to file her own care under being conned. That costs her something. Caring is what makes the ugly shifts survivable, and it survives a fair contract too. Exploitation lives in timesheets and unpaid hours, and it is fought there. Good employers pay well and mean it.
