PA Pay
The AAPA recently added a new PA compensation report to its Web site. This report breaks down by specialty the types of compensation received by PAs from their primary employers.
As part of the 2007 AAPA Physician Assistant Census, respondents were asked to report the total income they expected to receive in 2007. Respondents were also asked to report the amount of money they expected to receive in 2007 for the following ten compensations types:
1. Base pay (salary or hourly wage)
2. Surgical assisting fees
3. Overtime pay
4. Shift differential
5. Administrative pay
6. Pay for on-call availability
7. Pay for on-call services/events
8. Bonus not based on productivity/performance
9. Bonus based on productivity/performance of practice
10. Bonus based on your own productivity/performance
Thus, we have two measures of total income: the dollar amount of total income as reported by the respondent and the sum of the ten compensation types.
