Almost half of hospitalists don't get paid time off
Hospitalist Leadership Connection, May 18, 2010
Forty-five percent of hospitalists report that they do not receive any paid time off, according to the May issue of Today’s Hospitalist, based on its 2009 Compensation & Career Survey. Those without paid time off usually build vacation time into their scheduled days off.
When asked how many paid days off they had, hospitalists reported the following.
- None (45%)
- One week (5%)
- Two weeks (12.5%)
- Three weeks (13%)
- More than three weeks (24.5%)
Those that do have paid time off enjoy a mean of about 12 days a year.
Hospitalists might not get as many days off as other specialty physicians, but they do reap other work benefits, according to the article. Most receive health insurance: personal, dental, disability, life, and family insurance; and a 401k plan.
