Apriori Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I received an offer for a combination inpatient/outpatient cardiology practice. It would be M-F 8a-5p with one 9a-5p Saturday per month. It's a salaried position so I wouldn't be getting paid "extra" for this weekend day nor would I be getting a day off in the week to compensate. Is this standard? I'm otherwise excited about the position and the offer overall, but coming out of EM, it's tough to think I'll be getting 7 days off a month when I'm used to getting 16 off...

mgriffiths Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 A previous FM job I had was M-F, 36 hours of clinic + 4 hours of admin time, with on average 1 Saturday every 4 weeks from 9-1pm. There was no extra time off the week you worked a Saturday and the pay for the Saturday was included in the salary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Febrifuge Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 We rotate, and lately the 8-12 Saturday in clinic has morphed into 8-noon both days of the weekend, but from home doing phone and video. It’s similar to being on call, in a way. And yes, we get the time back. For me, that’s an 8-hour Monday I don’t have to do, those times when I’ve just done the weekend.

Reality Check 2 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I wouldn’t agree to a Saturday without some sort of compensation, such as Monday off or pay. Don’t ever give away work. That said, 4 day weeks are healthier even if 10 hrs. I would push for 4 day week and some sort of comp for the Saturday. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
