The Importance of Employment Contract Review
Employment contracts can have a huge effect on your life, for better or worse. These contracts are often worth hundreds of thousands, if not millions, in compensation over their duration. Furthermore, they determine your scheduling, vacation time, general work/life balance, and more.
Keep in mind that employers want you to sign on terms that work best for them, not necessarily terms that are fair to you as well. To get the most out of your contract and protect your well-being, you must review a contract in full and negotiate any terms that are unfair.
While it is easy to say you should negotiate, we understand that physician employment contracts are often long, complex documents with many confusing pieces. If you need hands-on assistance reviewing or negotiating a contract, Resolve is here to help with special pricing for MSSNY Members. Connect with an attorney specializing in physician contracts, who can give you detailed suggestions. He or she can even negotiate on your behalf if necessary.
