Renegotiating my contract and curious about maternity leave policies at other practices/hospitals. Do you get paid leave? If so how much time off & are you getting full pay? We are a group of about 75 employees, 6 docs with 5 PA’s and only unpaid 12 weeks off.

I live in California which I've heard has amongst the more generous maternity leaves. I had 4 weeks prior to due date and then 6 weeks of "disability leave" postpartum (8 weeks if it had been a c/s) followed by 12 weeks of "family bonding" leave. The 10 weeks of disability are paid by state at 65% your salary (but capped at a certain amount) + our organization had supplemental coverage which gave some too. The remaining 8 of 12 weeks of family bonding are paid by state (the last 4 weeks were unpaid)

You can also tack on your extended sick days (we had tonuse those) and any PTO you want- these are paid full.

I do know others in CA who's employer did not grant all the above. The state will allow up to certain amount but its up to the employer. I would reccomend seeing what your state grants and then try to negotiate with your employer accordingly.

Hello all,

I'm a PA in the PNW working for a private group staffing ED's in several hospitals. Recently the group has asked the PA's to take on a couple new roles (triaging and rapid track from triage i.e. straightforward ESI 4, 5). With these changes the PA's are considering asking for increased pay in the form of an addition of a COLA (cost of living adjustment) to our normal salary. Was wondering if any other PA's in the ED have these in their contracts and at what rate.

-Thanks
