Practitioner Contracts
Create a practitioner contract for every practitioner to set how they will be paid (hourly vs. salary, rate, etc.).
Multiple contracts can be created for a single practitioner. For example, if you are awarding a raise to a practitioner, you can create a new practitioner contract and change the end date on the first contract. This allows you to track the history of the practitioner's contracts with your organization.
Create a Practitioner Contract
Practitioner contracts can be created from the Payroll tab on a practitioner record (from either the Clinical Area or the Payroll area of the site menu). Click 'New Practitioner Contract' on the Practitioner Contracts subgrid.
- Practitioner - the practitioner you are creating the contract for.
- Start Date - the start date of the contract.
- End Date - the end date of the contract (can be left blank).

- Salary Amount - if the pay type is Salary, enter the salary amount.

- Fee Schedule - entering a fee schedule on a contract allows you to set specific overrides to the hourly rate, either for specific services, or specific patients.
