Physician Employment Agreement

Washington

Asked on Aug 1, 2023

Physician employment agreement voting rights?

I am a physician who is currently being offered a position at a hospital and I have been asked to sign an employment agreement. I am interested in understanding my voting rights as a physician under this agreement, as I want to ensure I have a say in decisions that will affect my practice. I am seeking legal advice to ensure I understand the terms of the agreement and what rights it grants me.

You would be wise to request that an attorney review the proposed employment agreement before you sign. In addition to ensuring that you would have voting rights, there are numerous other terms that should be carefully reviewed, such as non-compete language if and when you leave employment; TRAP language (usually requiring an employee to reimburse the employer if the employee receives training during his or her employment); terms and conditions of employment (such as schedule, work type, and duties); vacation hours; how disputes will be resolved; and, sometimes, future severance.
