TAKE CE QUIZ

Today's workforce carries an unprecedented debt load, demands higher salaries, and cites "work-life" balance as a top priority. Most employees expect pay to be commensurate with experience vs. production. Given the COVID pandemic and declining reimbursement, now is an ideal time to permanently alter the method by which we compensate rehab professionals. This session will present new/innovative concepts in compensation modeling.

Topics will include: shared risk/reward compensation models vs traditional bonus models, revenue-based vs volume based models, multiple plan tiers, best practice rollout strategy, compliance, and ethics.

Learning Objectives

  • Summarize evidence related to the effectiveness of traditional full salary plus bonus models
  • Identify the three most common barriers that prevent practices from effectively introducing alternative employee compensation models, and best practices to overcome those barriers
  • Describe/discuss the categorized strategic decisions which must be made in order to design effective alternative employee compensation models
  • Identify best practice as it relates to alternative employee compensation model rollout and implementation strategy
  • Summarize pertinent ethical considerations
