Hi there. I searched for this information and found good stuff on benefits and hourly rates, but there are a few odds and ends on which I'd appreciate some input from people who've negotiated contracts.
I graduate this spring and have been offered a few part time jobs. I'm interested because I like the variety. I expect that I may or may not have benefits, that my salary will go up or down depending on this, and that I can negotiate over these.
What I'm curious about is things like paying for licensure, DEA number, PTO, and education time/expenses. I appreciate that these are likely dependent on the market, which for psych in my area is pretty good (plenty of jobs, but not so many that we're printing our own money over here). If I work 15-20 hours per week, are there standard things I should expect to be refused or that I should definitely still expect to be able to negotiate for?
I've never negotiated a contract for employment (RNs are union here), but I want every dollar, hour, and benefit I can squeeze out of an employer. :)
