Initially signed a contract (I thought was supposed to be legally binding?) for an hourly pay rate. This way, I at least was compensated for saying over the 12 hr shift time to take care of pt’s who present near closing. No problem. That’s what I’m there for.
NOT ANYMORE. They abruptly and without notice swapped us to salary. No I get to work a certain portion of hours FOR FREE.
They softened the cruel blow with giving us the option of a “soft close,” which means we can stop seeing pt’s at 15 minutes till closing. Still didn’t save me from doing free labor, but hey, it was something.
6 months or so after this, they abruptly take away the soft close, citing disgruntled pt reviews online (they sure do like to ignore disgruntled employee reviews though).
Also, the new contract they tried to get us to sign is the shadiest thing I’ve ever read—the right to decrease pay, change your home clinic at will, and they gloss over exactly how much per hour you’re supposed to be paid and that we don’t get overtime compensation???
It’s a joke. Seriously, I think they want us providers to unionize.
Oh, another thing, they censor company emails and IM’s through IT. They don’t like free speech.
