Part Time Pediatrics: Call Pay

[trazodone]

Hello,

 

I've been offered a part time (4-6 shifts a month) pediatrics position. The hourly pay is fairly low ($56) considering I do not require benefits or anything else. Malpractice and DEA covered. I would also be required to take 1 night of call per week and 1 weekend per month. The current contract offers no additional compensation. Call is simply phone call answering to parents with concerns. Any thoughts on what would be a reasonable request for additional pay?

Thanks!

So you're taking as much call as actual shifts working? Seems like a shitty deal, especially with the low pay. How often do you get called on average? What's it worth it to you? Do you need this job for some reason or it's just extra? I'd probably take no less than 250 per weekday and 750 for the weekend given it's extra work, extra liability, can't drink while on call, etc.

Hell no!!

 

call should be $100/day for slow phone only call 

 

you also have to get higher hourly.  Period.
