Atad Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Hello, Does anyone know if there is a cap or maximum #hours for salaried PAs in NJ? Or do you know of a cap on hours for PAs in any other state? How many hours are you working a week as a salaried PA and no overtime? Thank you.

AbeTheBabe Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 There's no cap, you just have to see what they expect and what the job involves. I work anywhere from 35 to 50 hours at my ortho job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgriffiths Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I don't believe any state has a cap on non-exempt, salaried hours, except that as a healthcare provider there are limits how many hours you can work in a single shift. With that said, I have in my contract a maximum of 36 hours of patient contact hours. Anything beyond that is paid at 1.5x my reverse engineered hourly rate (= salary / 2000). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly recommend it, no matter what sort of a "per hour" salary cut you have to take to get it, because then any time the practice does something stupid in the EMR, they pay me for the change in work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
