I've been following this forum for years, and am posting for the first time hoping for some input and group wisdom.
I'm currently negotiating an employment agreement with a large and expanding dermatology practice to serve as the Lab Director and head dermatopathologist. The lab's volume is over 35K specimens per year ATM. I had a few general questions:
I'm currently negotiating an employment agreement with a large and expanding dermatology practice to serve as the Lab Director and head dermatopathologist. The lab's volume is over 35K specimens per year ATM. I had a few general questions:
- Compensation for the dermpath would be 50% of PC collected. I'm trying to negotiate a minimum base salary, but was wondering if 50% is within market range or if I should hold for a higher percentage? I asked for 60% with hopes that they would at least bump up a few percentage points, but it doesn't look like they will budge.
- Lab Director compensation is $75K year plus incentives for another $75K (I'm still trying to work out/understand the incentive structure but I'm assuming the bonus will not be fully realized). Curious if there is a rule of thumb for LD compensation? Also would asking for a % of TC collections be reasonable - if so is does anyone know the market range?
