Hey friends,
I was offered a position in home health (first HH job) and I was told during the interview that I have the option of pay per visit (I will list the rates below) or salary.
They require 1 week on-call and currently it is hitting about every 5 or 6 weeks but as they hire it will get closer to every 9 or 10 weeks (they say).
The rates I was offered for pay per visit were:
Routine visit-$65
Admission-$150
Recertification-$85
Extended-$75
On-call-$2.50/hr
Routine visit-$70
Admission-$155
Recertification-$90
Extended-$80
And the company pays overtime if you go into it while on call.
Are these good rates? I have no idea how to average out these to get some sort of hourly estimate?
They did not tell me what the salary offer would be but I am going to inquire about it Monday.
What is the better idea for home health between pay per visit or salary?
If pay per visit are those rates decent?
I am in the greater Seattle area just FYI.
She explained it as salary being good for those that just want to work a regular shift and "take it easier" and PPV being good if you want to take on extra visits and make more money.
Thank you for any explanation!
Also, there's a very good hiring bonus ($15k) which I was surprised by, but won't take if there is a contract involved (I don't like feeling "stuck").
Edit: I'm an RN btw
