Understanding wRVU compensation

Find the inputs you need to understand a productivity bonus.

Identify the pay formula

Ask for the base salary, productivity threshold, conversion rate and measurement period. Confirm whether the rate applies to every credited unit or only to units above the threshold.

Ask how work is credited

Find out which services count, when credits appear and how corrections or late claims are handled. Ask for a sample calculation using the employer’s own assumptions.

Review the guarantee and the exit terms

Check whether the base salary changes after a guarantee period. Ask when bonuses are paid and what happens to earned amounts when employment ends. Identify any term the employer can change and the notice required.
