Employment Agreements, Contractor Agreements & Negotiating Skills
WebcastFaculty
OVERVIEW
Employment Agreements, Contractor Agreements & Negotiating Skills is organized by MentorHealth and will be held on Oct 12, 2018. The target audience for this medical event is Physicians, PAs/APNs, practice Managers, Health Care Providers, Financial Managers/Advisors, Compliance Officers, Human Resources & Employee Managers.
Overview:
This lecture will provide an overview of how to read and interpret a typical physician or health care provider employment or contractor agreement. It is critical that any agreement that an employee or contractor is required to sign be provided to the employee or contractor well in advance of the start date with plenty of time and opportunity to review and revise as needed.
Attendees will learn how to interpret basic agreement terms and learn how to eliminate the term "boilerplate" and "legalese" from their vocabulary when considering such contracts. Every single word in a contract is there for a reason, just because the reason is legal compliance does not mean an employee or contractor should brush off the need to understand those words!
Finally, attendees should have the basic knowledge and confidence to understand and negotiate basic agreement terms as well as the knowledge to understand when they should call on help, such as a qualified healthcare attorney, to negotiate on his or her behalf.
Why should you Attend:
Are you currently working pursuant to an employment or contractor agreement that you signed immediately upon receipt? Did you receive an agreement to sign on your first day at your current position with no meaningful time to review or consider the agreement? Too many individuals sign employment and contractor agreements either without reading them (either due to lack of time or misunderstanding as to enforceability) or, once having read them, making the incorrect assumption that all terms are "non-negotiable".
More often than not, the terms are definitely negotiable and, even if they truly are not, a dialog about what the terms mean and the reasoning behind their inclusion in the agreement can provide critical insight into the employer's motivation and practices.
This webinar will provide an overview of what the various "standard" agreement terms really mean and how to interpret them. Employees and contractors often fail to protect themselves because they believe that they either cannot or, that the terms of the agreement cannot be enforced. Far too often physicians and health care providers will not seek the assistance of health care counsel to review a proposed employment or contractor agreement until it is already signed and he or she is already in a hopeless situation with no feasible way out.
Areas Covered in the Session:
• W2 vs. 1099
• Basic Agreement Terms
• Duties
• Compensation
• Professional Liability Insurance
• Outside Employment
• Termination
• Restrictive Covenants
• Current & Future Trends in Physician employment
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
