SoCal_PA Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I just finished my first year of practice out of school as an ER PA in los angeles. My current contract as an employee: $58/hr base rate. Each shift is 10 hours and at 1.5x for the last 2 hours the average comes out to $64/hr. I work about 14 shifts/month which comes out to about $107.5k/year. Benefits: 4 weeks PTO which equals an additional $9.2k 7% 401k match which I am maxing. And then basics like malpractice and health etc Question is what should I ask for in terms of raise to my base rate? I feel like they are going to offer something nominal like $60/hr which will only increase annual pay by about $3.3k Any help? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcardillo Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 3.3k would come out to barely 3% raise. Inflation is typically around 3%, so it really wouldn't be much of a raise. I think $65 an hour would be a nice goal to ask for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming from where I am now ($108k), that seems like a big bump. I mean, I would love that. But is that feasible? I'm in a small ER and see about 2-3 patients/hr on average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camoman1234 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 No it is not feasible, that is a 12k per year raise...that is not gonna happen (would be nice). I would look for about 5k-7k increase...good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcardillo Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Whoops, ya sorry I did not do the math on that one. I agree, 12k is too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airslant Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I'm getting a 23k raise. It can be done... Just start out underpaid. :)Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
