vicky138999 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I am kind of new graduated with 3 months of cardiology experiences and bilingual in both chinese and english. I got an offer in the ER. They gave me $65 per hour with health insurance and malpractice. CME 1300/year No vacation and sick days. Not sure if i have holiday pay and 401b. they are 1199 They said they might able to provide vacations and sicks days in the next half year. Because the hospital will be taken over by another hospital. Is that a good offer? any suggestion would help. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted July 20, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 20, 2015 $65/hr is very fair. cme is low. no vacation and no sick days is a problem. no retirement is a problem. I wouldn't sweat holiday pay, many places don't give that. does the new group taking over use PAs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicky138999 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 That's the problem. They said they probably take over use PAs. They are still negotiating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatChecko Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Some questions that you might want to think about: How many hours are you working? Is the contract for a set number of hours per month/year? What about overtime pay, when does that kick in? What happens if you call in sick, or need to take a vacation?

Moderator EMEDPA Posted July 21, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 21, 2015 one of the nice things about em is that it is shift work. you need x shifts or x hrs/yr. you can front load hours and take longer vacations without having to tax a vacation fund. I take off several weeks/yr and still end up with more hrs than the vast majority of my group(both docs and pas) every year. doesn't hurt that I work 12 hr night shifts and most of the day shifts are 8-9 hours. I know of every few em jobs outside of union shops where em pas get overtime or holiday pay, at least on the west coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will352ns Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Get a guaranteed minimum amount of hours per month in the contract. That will give you a realistic idea of how you can schedule some time off. My EM offer was very similar, but it states that I am guaranteed at least 144hrs per month and cannot go below 96hrs in a month. That gave me a range to work with. Also, talk to the scheduler and any of the PAs that work there. Get an idea about how they handle things like time-off or if a member becomes sick.

GreatChecko Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 True, can't speak about the west coast, but OT over contracted hours happens on the east coast. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicky138999 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 actually they dont have 1199 but 1099. They said the hospital will take over used PAs may be in about 1 year. But getting 1099 means i would have to pay more on tax at the of the year. this is in ny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
