The offer is for a single physician primary care clinic, with one other PA working there. The MD wants me to work part-time and initially wanted that to be in the form of half days, M-F 1-530pm. When I went back for a second "interview" they introduced me to the office staff as the new provider and then sent me home with a packet of paperwork to fill out.
I never formally accepted the position. I tried to discuss the schedule with the manager as I will need to maintain another job for health insurance purposes (I have already met my max out of pocket for the year on my current insurance and can't afford COBRA working part time). and they said they would work on it and to bring the papers back on Monday.
Just trying to get some feedback as to what is standard in the contract. The hourly rate is pretty reasonable but some of the other benefits and clauses I'm unsure of.
1. The job is part-time but it says I'd be working "from 20 hours up to 40 hours, but not to exceed 40 hours" - that clearly needs to be addressed, but is it normal to have such a broad range built in, I'm used to travel contracts which are strict with their hours
2. 90 day notice for resignation
3. 2 weeks vacation
4. Up to 7 sick days
5. $1000 and 5 days for CME EVERY OTHER year
6. After 90 days employer will pay 50% of health insurance premiums
7. All employment outside the practice must be approved by the employer
8. No professional services to be provided outside of the clinic (included paid or unpaid). All professional time and efforts should be devoted to the employer
9. 3 year non-compete within a 10 mile radius of the clinic, or any patient of the clinic regardless of the location.
