wonk Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Greetings everyone, Just wanted to ask the PA forum community on their thoughts. I'm nearing my 1 year mark of employment with this private practice outpatient internal medicine clinic. 45$/hr for 40hrs/wk, 10-15pts/day. 1 week PTO, all paid holidays. no CME time or money. I think I'm making the practice money but not sure if I should be aggressive and ask for salaried 100k/yr. Instead I was thinking it'd be a good idea to see if my SP would entertain the idea of paying me the same but with some sort of loan repayment incentive that I could use to pay off loans before taxes. This way it'd be win/win. I get to pay off loans faster, she pays me the same amount. I'd like to research how I can go about getting this set up before I present it to her and see what her thoughts are. Unfortunately, I have little to no experience in managing/running the business side of medicine. Also this is not an underprivileged area so i dont qualify for the NHSC programs. Please help! Thoughts great appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSUnoles Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 this is interesting and i think it delvs into the area of how to formulate this payment to get around taxes. because if this would be a gift there would be a huge tax hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted July 18, 2013 Administrator Share Posted July 18, 2013 I'm not sure it's *possible* to do pre-tax loan repayment.... for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristenp Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I am also interested in presenting this to my employer. Did you ever learn anything more or go through with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
