devildoc0311 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I was currently offered an urgent care position PRN as a solo provider at a well-established UC associated with a large hospital system in Atlanta. Offer is 1099 with $55/hr (no benefits). I felt that this was rather low. BTW I work ortho surg M-F with rare weekend call, with 2+ years experience in ortho and 1.5 yrs (PRN) experience with UC. Initial thoughts were to ask for $65/hr. Any input appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evolute Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 $55/hr is to low. As a 1099 you have to pay the other half of your social sec. tax (if working as an employee your employer would pay), which amounts to a hair over 6%. 55 x 0.6= 3.3. that's $3.30 per hour off the top. So you are down to $51.70/hr (if my math is correct). Also you don't have work comp unless you pay for it out of pocket. Check state laws regarding this. Lastly do you have to pay for your liability ins with tail (if applicable)? The, "hidden" costs can add up quick, so be sure to do your due diligence before you make a decision.

devildoc0311 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 No disability. Liability insurance (with tail) covered by UC. Thanks for input. Still waiting to hear after counter offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator ventana Posted February 18, 2016 Moderator Share Posted February 18, 2016 Once again 1099 does not work This is only the employer trying to save. Money If they get audited they will loose You use their staff, their equimepement, their facility, you are an employee As a 1099 I would say no less then $90/hour....... And even then you are gong to loose money on the deal if you are paying all your own taxes and insurance.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
