TWR Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 for the last month, the 2 NPs have alternated call for one week at a time. They were not asked but told!! Also no extra compensation is being offered. This is in Houston, TX. What should call compensation be? It has not been busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcox87 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I would check to see if being on call was written into the contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCPA Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 What kind of call are you taking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paula Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Are you being added in on the on-call schedule? IS it after hours and on the weekends. There should be some type of compensation for this. Do the physician's take call? IF it's not in the contract I would talk to the powers that be and get call compensation worked in. I take weekend call about every 12 weeks and my employer states there is extra compensation for this, but I haven't yet seen my pay for it yet, and my employer was quite vague as to how they calculate the pay. It's frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator ventana Posted March 31, 2016 Moderator Share Posted March 31, 2016 1/4 of a full day's pay for week night call $500-$1000 per weekend For just telephone call If having to go in and see patients - well that is 1.5 to 2 times the hourly rate on top of the above, with a minimum payment if you go in This is a huge quality of life for the doc's. Don't Don't Don't do it for free and do not get forced into it as the only time you have to negotiate is at the beginning If the doc's say call is no big deal, then let them do all of it - if not it needs to be compensated unless you are an owner....
