Re: clinicians pay rate for non-clinical hours

[Guest guest]

Lynda,

Mandatory (non-productive) requirements, such as meetings, safety fairs, etc.,

are generally paid at the same rate as patient care time (productive time).

Suggesting a lower rate for these non-productive activities just to save a

couple-o-bucks, especially if they are required, may go over like a lead

balloon. Just my opinion.
