cbrsmurf Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Anyone getting one? Just got a $1k mastercard gift card, which was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdenning Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I got a ham once ... that was exciting. I think we usually get something on the final paycheck "holiday gift" and then you only see half the actual amount because it gets taxed...

cbrsmurf Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 I wonder how common it is. I think I've gotten a xmas bonus on 3 out of 4 gigs I have worked. The gift card is nice since it isn't taxable (I think?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medic25 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Not Christmas per se, but we get a hospital-wide bonus the week of Christmas based on hitting certain performance parameters. It's typically from 1.5-3% of your salary the year before; nice chunk of change right before Santa comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator EMEDPA Posted December 23, 2014 Moderator Share Posted December 23, 2014 we get a 4th quarter production bonus, but it isn't a cent over what we have earned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paula Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 My bonus was being required to work while the rest of the tribal offices closed due to a snow storm. Clinic Director said we absolutely cannot close the clinic as she sits home on vacation. It was the best bonus ever and I eventually got home safely.

Febrifuge Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Every year, we get a $10 Target gift card. Every year, one of the nurses will remind me that those are actually paid for out of our wages. Maybe they are taken out pre-tax, so they reduce the annual income by $10. That would be nice, I guess.

David the Nome Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I can't decide which is more funny - the $10 dollar Christmas bonus gift card or the guy in the other thread talking about the Dermatology offer of $35,000/year. Nothing like being appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyrelight74 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I got a $300 Christmas bonus this year. After taxes, though... I think it was $270ish. Still helpful. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator ventana Posted December 24, 2014 Moderator Share Posted December 24, 2014 In past have had anywhere from nothing (big hospital) to 10% of annual salary As a practice owner I have decided that everyone deserves a bonus and the goal is 10% of annual salary I have only one employee at this point (plus myself) so made it this year In the past I found the trival (<$1,000) down right insulting...... One year after making 200,000+ profit for my employer I was very tempted to give back the $300 bonus check as it was insulting to be bonused the exact same and the LPN, front office staff, MAs, and billing staff. That was one backwards practice.... I left and they hired a new grad to replace me that could only see 1/3 the patients I was seeing and they had to pay her more then I was getting, and provide a lot more oversight.... Not a smart move on their behalf (very senior partner centered practice, and a a PA I was in the same category as an MA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbrothers98 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 $500 as personal gift from owners of group. Everyone gets it. No taxes since it is a gift. Always nice and very appreciated. GB PA-C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FfIghter23 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Yep, I was hoping for that lucrative production bonus, but all I got a was a year long subscription to the 'jelly of the month' club. Sorry kids. No pool this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator ventana Posted December 24, 2014 Moderator Share Posted December 24, 2014 getting a fair bonus from a private practice = getting struck by lightening...

Moderator ventana Posted December 28, 2014 Moderator Share Posted December 28, 2014 well, this was a depressing thread happy holidays! this is why we need to uncouple ourselves from a single doc, and be much more "independent" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delco714 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Well they found out last year we're in tremendous debt abd they messed up budgeting. They then spent millions on bringing in new corporate people to make soulless decisions and companies to fix budgeting issues, etc. So basically put us even more in the hole to hopefully come out of it, while also expanding the hospital by 25% And patronizing us daily about donating to the cause. Your donation was my RAISE and MEAGER BONUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilso2ar Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 The best gift I got was personalized pint glasses with the name of my "in home brewery" on them. It was very thoughtful. As far as production bonus that is part of my contract and not considered a bonus out of good will. That is the money that I earned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
