Conference Description

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.

The presenter will begin by outlining the difference between being an employee and a contractor, and what the ramifications are of each classification, as well as providing a general overview of other basic business considerations when considering an employment or contractor position of any kind.

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!

The presenter will provide various alternatives to agreement terms in areas such as compensation, scope of duties, reimbursement for professional fees and costs, and professional liability insurance. Additionally, attendees will learn how to interpret differences in terms that may seem innocuous to the untrained eye but could result in thousands - or tens of thousands - of dollars in losses to the employee or contractor.
