SDA Compensation Committee Survey

SDA Compensation Committee Survey - August 2012

SDA Physicians,

Thank you for taking a moment to complete our brief survey. Your feedback is valuable to us.

SDA Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee was reinstated this year and the committee would like to know if you have any current issues you would like us to review? If so, please list them below:

Are you satisfied with the current compensation plan with pooled units, incentive units (0700-1530 and on weekends/holidays), and stipends being paid for various call teams/coverage?

Yes

If you answered "No" to the question above, please elaborate on what you would like to see reviewed or changed.

Should we pay all stipends in units instead of a flat fee (for example Trauma stipend~30 units, OB hourly stipend ~ 1unit/hour, etc)? The obvious benefits to paying stipends in units are the increased transparency among partners and call teams, and the unit value would rise and fall with our average blended unit. The obvious downside would be that payment would not be seen until the quarterly reconciliation.
