SALARIED PAs: cap on weekly hours?


Recommended Posts

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.

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).

I have one better: I am paid hourly, non-exempt, charting on the clock, so I get overtime. 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.
