hey all. I know this question has been asked multiple times. I've read what I could but some things don't apply to me. I've already signed a contract in ny as a hospital employee. Benefits aren't fantastic (no maternity leave or other shiny things I've heard usacs offers). I'm newly married and plan for no kids for at least two years. Location is far from the city so I don't have to worry about those crazy manhattan taxes. My concern is that I'm thinking of asking to change my contract to nocturnist to get at least $50 more per hour. I'm currently signed for $225 per hour. I'm just worried that if I also request to change to independent contractor, I will still be stuck with the same per hour amount. It seems easier to ask for $275 per hour and stay an employee than it is to jump to $300. I'm just curious if the tax break is really that big of a difference. I'd be bitter if I ended up with $275 to work nights as an independent contractor.
