Market driven pay inequities

Posted by: Edmund Dietrich on May 6, 2008 at 5:49PM EST

Is anyone experiencing clinical pay inequities driven by market forces such as shortage of candidates or high regional competitive pay rates? If so, for which positions?

Absoultely! Operating Room Physician Assistants, specifically those with specialized skills, for example, those which can do endoscopic vein harvesting. Also, there is a competitive rift between our institution's surgical and medicine physician assistants in terms of pay.

Also seeing it with PT, OT ST and Rad Techs.

Yes! We are seeing very high regional rates for particular positions. As we are in a rural setting, we find these inequities generating compression issues for our facility Our issues are in PT, Rad and ED Nursing.

Therapists are in high demand nationwide. Being one myself I never fully realized how difficult recruiting is for PT,OT, and ST until I crossed over into management.

Asolutely as well. This is a tough issue to manage. It may require, as we postion oursleves to be competitive ,across the board increases to avoid the backlash caused by internal equity
concerns. One thing i have tried to avoid is getting in a bidding war with the competition. We have developed recruitment and retention plans to address and recommed a wide variety of things to make our workplace attractive. We market that it is more to working for us than pay.
