paid by the unit versus salary

September 21, 2000

Currently, I am a student physical therapist. I have recently been

approached informally by a representative of a company that pays its

employees by the unit rather than the traditional hourly wage or salary. No

mention of a base salary was mentioned by this representative. This form of

compensation is a completely new concept for me, and I have to admit that

I'm a little leary. This particular job is full-time, in a skilled nursing

home setting and possibly could require routine travel between 3 homes which

are approximately 45 minutes from one another. Job duty includes both

evaluations and patient treatment. As a student and soon to be new graduate,

I would like to hear from therapists who have or know of someone who has had

experience with this type of compensation for their services. Thank you for

your help.

Christy,

Make sure to get answers to these questions:

1. Are the " units " based on CPT codes or are you just counting the 15 minute

increments you are with patients? This is important since an evaluation is

billed as only one unit, but may last 30-45 minutes (2-3 15-minute units).

2. How much time will you be expected to attend meetings in the three nursing

homes?

3. How much time out of your day will you be traveling?

4. What type(s) of documentation are required and how time intensive are they?

Does each facility use the same documentation system?

5. How much are you getting paid per unit?

The questions above will help you determine how much billable time per day you

can spend with patients. You can then figure out what you would be getting paid

based on the number of units during that time (again, you need to know how units

are defined).

Money should not be the ultimate goal, especially in a first job, but you must

be sure that you make a living wage and that it is comparable to the market in

which you live.
