Guest guest Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 In San Francisco, Bay Area I have found that the asking salary is $38-$40 per hour. I have paid $50 per hour for vacation relief for 10 year experienced PT. Is this sounding too high compared to the rest of the country? or is it in the ball-park?

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Yes, that's full time employee. I would have a hard time paying for a full time employee however, for vacation relief it's ok. Our other office has a PT who is getting paid that amount, however, much more reponsibilities besides being a good treating PT. Unfortunately, recruiters are always snatching away good PTs to go work for POPT clinics. It's just a dog's world when comes to POPT as the same physicians also try to steal my patients who just go for an evaluation. On that note, why do PTs want to work with recruiters? Do PTs know that the recruiter charge from 15% to 20% of the PT's salary. If a PT wants a job, all he/she has to do is open up the yellow pages and call some of the PT offices to see if they are hiring.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Dave- I resisted working with recruiters for many years based on principle, but the market pot is constantly being stirred by contract agencies offering big bucks, sign-on bonuses and creative incentives to provide staffing in hard to place locations, that while I still am very hands-on in our hiring process, I had to add a professional recruiter to supplement my recruiting efforts. Sometimes a recruiter can find candidates who might not be actively looking for a change, and the contract fees I have to pay while I'm looking are eating up our budgets. Surveys show that new grads in SNF and hospitals come in at $27-$30/hour in the Chicago metropolitan region.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Matt, Do you realize/understand the cost of living in California? Especially in San Francisco! I live in Dallas, TX. The cost of living in San Francisco, CA is 59.6% higher than in Dallas, TX. A PT would have to earn a base salary of $111,698 to maintain a standard of living base salary of $70,000 comparable to Dallas. What salary do you believe a new-grad should make? You can't compare state-to-state salaries without taking into account the cost of living between each state. It's like comparing apples to oranges. Cost of living keeps going up - payments/reimbursements continue to go down. It doesn't appear to be a supportable business model.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 It all is supply and demand. We pay substantial higher salaries in rural areas for therapist (in Iowa) than cities that are an hour or two away. I was talking with a therapist in Omaha, Ne (TWO HOURS AWAY) a couple of weeks ago and he could not believe what I was paying my staff therapists. Not only do we pay higher salaries but also pay student loans off. We almost have to in order to compete for therapist to look at us. Our cost of living is much lower compared to bigger cities so it is not all about cost of living either. We are a CAH in Iowa.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 I agree completely Jeff. New Grad Salaries are entirely based upon supply and demand. They are also based upon what you are willing to pay to attract a new grad! If you are willing to pay a new grad 100K then that is your priority. I will say that it is impossible to compare salaries in rural Iowa to Dallas or to San Diego as the economies are drastically different in each area. Recruiting a new grad in San Diego or Dallas is a much easier task than in rural Iowa. There is something to be said for needing to pay a higher salary in a rural area, along with other fringe benefits like loan repayment, to entice therapists to move to a rural area. New grad salaries in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, depending on practice setting, are in the 50-60K range. It both surprises and concerns me that entities in the country are offering new grads 100K+ when we have practicing professionals in leadership roles that don't earn that level of salary.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 The recruiters we have been approached by want the employer to pay the cost so the 'staff PT' doesn't have any money out of pocket. Matt Capo, PT Accelerated Physical Therapy and Occupational Health, Inc. Bay St. Louis and Diamondhead, Mississippi Re: New Grad Salaries Yes, that's full time employee. I would have a hard time paying for a full time employee however, for vacation relief it's ok. Our other office has a PT who is getting paid that amount, however, much more reponsibilities besides being a good treating PT. Unfortunately, recruiters are always snatching away good PTs to go work for POPT clinics. It's just a dog's world when comes to POPT as the same physicians also try to steal my patients who just go for an evaluation. On that note, why do PTs want to work with recruiters? Do PTs know that the recruiter charge from 15% to 20% of the PT's salary. If a PT wants a job, all he/she has to do is open up the yellow pages and call some of the PT offices to see if they are hiring. Hiten Dave' PT New Grad Salaries Would anyone be willing to share what they are offering new grad PT's currently?
