veteran PTA hourly rate or salary would be?? Any help would be greatly

appreciated.

rule of thumb from " the old school " is that PTA's should make 2/3 of what a

our PT staff are exempt and when they work a weekend day they have a day off

during the week so essentailly we have altered their work schedule. There is no

special pay for working on a weekend. PTAs are non-exempt. When they work a

weekend they also alter their work schedule. The facility does pay they a

weekend differential as they are hourly. The altered schedule works well as all

employees are scheduled to work 80 hours for a two week pay period

I'm sure there are large regional variations in PTA salaries, but we just hired

a new grad for $15.00/hour. Our experienced PTA (graduated in June 1995)

currently makes16.59/our.

Our professional staff is not exempt - they used to be but we ran into problems

with overtime not being paid, so we changed it.

On weekends, professional staff (except registry) earn an additional $1.00/hour.

The outpatient staff has been at a separate location for the past 16 months or

so, but was on the hospital property in a connected medical office complex prior

to that time. They are in a separate cost center since the relocation, but

under the same manager (me). While a couple of those therapists have less than

ideal inpatient experience, I schedule the weekend teams so that the least

experienced therapists are paired with the most experienced ones when they are

in the hospital.

It seems to work for me, but it's never been an option for the staff, so they

really don't have a basis on which to object.

>>> " Carol Rehder " 06/09 4:49 PM >>>

Is your outpt. staff at a separate physical location? Ours don't participate in

the inpt. weekend rotation, because they feel " too far removed " from the patient

types and procedures. They are also under a separate manager in a different cost

center.

>>> " Ken Tuley " 06/09 3:17 PM >>>

All of my professional staff is exempt (PT, OT, ST). All of them rotate weekend

coverage to the hospital regardless of whether their normal job is in the

hospital or in the outpatient center. There is no special pay incentive for

this; it's just part of the job they accepted when they came to work here.

We preserve continuity by having the individual therapists schedule around that

day off following a weekend. It only amounts to once every 4 weeks for each of

them, so it doesn't seem a hardship. With outpatients rarely comin in more than

3 times per week, it's not difficult to schedule a Tuesday off and work around

it. It's actually harder for me to work around one of the regular inpatient

therapists taking that day off, since it usually means I have to cover an entire

inpatient caseload myself that day.

>>> " Perlson, Bob " 06/09 5:13 PM >>>

For those of you who are currently rotating outpatient staff into inpatient

weekend service, I have a question (since we are revisiting this issue

here). The problem is this: While rotations certainly decrease the weekend

burden on our inpatient staff, it also creates some outpatient scheduling

problems. We lose continuity of care if another therapist picks up the

outpatient case load, or we lose visits if we give the therapist a weekday

off to compensate for the weekend day on. How have you reconciled this

dilemma? Do we really come out ahead by rotating on weekends?

Our PT's, OT's and ST's are exempt. PTA's and COTA's are non-exempt. We

have evening and weekend differentials for these positions, as well as

specific per diem rates for evenings and weekends. The exempt status means

that these employees are not paid overtime for " normal " fluctuations in work

load, as a professional employee. When these exempt employees cover at

other facilities within our system or do home care, we have " alternate

rates " established to cover these situations. Basically, the alternate rate

is 1.5x base rate, but is capped at the per diem rate for the facility or

setting. Home care is a fixed per visit rate. In this way we control our

cost and employees have options to work additional hours within our sysytem.

All of my staff regardless of promary area of specailty work the weekends.

We cover Rehab/IP/TCU/Wounds/and MD ordered outpatiens. My competencies are

such that the skills need for those units are covered. Yes, there is some

gripping, esp from my peds staff. However, most like the opportunity to keep

skills up to date --versitilty --thats a valuable commodity in todays market

Our comp days can be saved for up to 6 months, so they are frequently used in

conjuntion with another type of day off. I have to prn therapist who cover

absences.

As I said in a different posting I'm finding mothers and displaced therapist

who are willing to do weekends. That is a nice bonus for my regular staff. I

always have atleast one regular staff on for the weekend. There is also a

supervisor on call every weekend. Carolyn GUm

Where are you located, Carolyn?

Re: New graduate salary range

My professional staff is exempt. I did get a per visit rate for HHC

--made

HHC a different cost center. For weekends/holidays our comp policy

is less

than 4.5 hours half shift--4.5 hours or more full shift. (I have 8

and 10

hour people) My part time professionals get paid for their xtra

shifts the

same as I comp. I have several young mothers doing weeknds for

thath benifit.

PT/OT/ST are exempt, PTA/COTA are non-exempt. We utilize PRN staff for

weekends, and match the weekend " premium " for staff who work an occasional

weekend in addition to their normal weekday schedule. Premium is $32/hr and

dropping. PTA/COTA earn 1.5x their respective pay rate for weekend shift.

As far as " outpatient staff " covering weekends for weekday off, I would think

that it is easier to plan around a scheduled day off than a sick day, unless

your therapists never call in sick.
