PHYSICIAN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTPhysician Employment Agreement • May 31st, 2016
Contract Type FiledMay 31st, 2016Physician employment agreements can be complicated and intimidating. Often times, potential physician employees are under the impression that most of the text is “ordinary” and “non-negotiable”. The more dangerous assumption is that problematic sections are unenforceable. Even if a court may ultimately determine that a contract term is not enforceable, the employee will still have to spend a significant amount of time and money arguing his or her case. Before entering into any employment agreement, it is important to understand exactly what each sentence and section means and what potential problems those terms may cause for the potential employee in the future. Frequently there are terms that are far from “ordinary” lurking among the definitions and “boilerplate” and, more often than not, employers are willing to negotiate to make their potential employees confident in their choice of employment.
