OK I am really worried .My company was just bought out by a large nation wide home health . They do not want to pay miles or commision or cell I was getting 300 before which was excatly half of what I using .I used about 600 dollars in gas .and my cell was 50 dollars . I run a lot in company plus deal with problems and fill in as well where needed. My husband says I need to stop being a door mat.
But if I take there offer ,it would bring my money down below the minum wage . I kid you not.
So my thought is since the big wigs will all be there on monday I thought I would explain my side and counter offer with all my gas paid and cell in writing and I would take there money offer for the same amount I was making .They are giveing benifits but I only need dental as I get free care though my husbands office. So there benifits are not to important to me .
Just thought I would update you. Well after 5 months the new marketer signed her first two clients and offended another care company that is in the area. Big time :angryfire .She is still making more money than I Even though My track record remains the same which is signing 3 to 8 clients a week .
I have actually been traveling and training another office manger in another part of the state here. I am taking on much more importance in the office. I am doing the training, hiring cleaning up the other marketer mess and etc. Even though I love doing more .It kind of tee's me that I don't get paid for It.:angryfire
I currently am looking at another couple companies for employment , my current boss is aware of this .I just told her I can't just keep working for less. I know she has applied for a raise for me .But the company at this point remains firm on there amount they offered me at the time of employment.
I know firsthand where you are coming from. Every HHA I worked for from 1982-2000 has either closed or been bought out. I watched the erosion of quality care as PPS set in, cutting reimbursement, jobs and salaries. I was doing 12-16 visits PER DAY, in addition to being on call for admissions and PRN visits when my salary was cut by $1.60/hr with no warning or explanation. That was the final straw, and I left home health for good.
You can't win with these big companies. They will just keep on using you. Use your talents elsewhere and for more money, as I did.

I personally think you need some time to figure out the "new game" but hopefully it works out better for you than it has for me.
