shemi13 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I am a Gen. Surgery PA with 6 years of experience currently hold a FT position with full benefits. I work 3x12hours shifts and would like additional income. I have an opportunity to join a hospital based gen. surg service (in a different hospital) on a per-diem/part time status. I will be first assisting in the OR only and I guess the hospital will fund my salary with the first-assist fees. I have never worked PD or PT and not sure the hourly rate I should ask for. I am thinking I don't need them to include any compensation package and instead get more per hour. The service never had a PD/PT before either and both the chief PA and practice manager ask me what will work for me. I would appreciate some tips: 1. what would be a fair rate? taking into consideration that there are no benefits. 2. Should I ask for guaranteed amount of hours paid per shift? ex. if I come in and operate for 5 hours but get a minimum of 10 hours pay. 3. Any other suggestion about PD/PT negotiation is welcomed.

bananapeppers Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Whats your current hourly rate (if you broken it down from salary to hourly)? It should be +30% of that if you are part time/prn as you aren't getting any benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
