Guest guest Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Hello All! I am writing you to get some advice on a maternity leave that I will be taking in the later part of November through December. I am currently 7 and half months pregnant and have a busy 3-4 day a week practice. I Was hoping some of you could give me feedback on what you have done to maintain your practices while gone. I am looking into a temp acupuncturist to help me out during this time. I have a couple referrals and I am currently practicing in Alameda, CA. I was wondering what is the going hourly rate to have someone come in and treat my patients for me while I am away? Also I am considering a percentage deal that could also work out as well. People have told me 60/40 and 50/50 are the percentages that I should consider. Anyways, any suggestions would be great! Thank you, Jamie Lee Tokubo L.Ac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I would look at the percentage of your overhead that you have to cover anyway and price your replacements accordingly. Make it very attractive financially for them to the point of breaking even yourself. Last thing you want is to deal with problems during this time. There is little incentive for someone to step in for 2 months. Make it worth their while. Come back to a good situation.
