Remuneration
Health PEI offers multiple payment modality options: Salary — Salaried physicians enter an employee/employer relationship with Health PEI. In this model, Health PEI hires a physician under a contract of employment which assigns the hours worked, duties, and responsibilities. As part of this model, physicians are also offered (if conditions are met) an additional payment valued at 31% of their base salary. As an employee you have access to a suite of benefits, including health and dental, paid vacation and sick days, life insurance, RRSP matching, and more. Contract for Service — The less common modality, but preferred by some, is the Contract for Service where physicians are compensated on an hourly basis, as per the Master Agreement. Contract for Service physicians can access benefits through the Master Agreement (i.e. parental leave) but do not have paid benefits like vacation, health and dental, or RRSP matching. The hourly rate increase includes an amount for “in lieu of benefits” to compensate for those benefits. As income earned on a contract basis may be claimed through a professional corporation, this modality may provide tax advantages. NOTE: A new Physician Services Agreement was recently ratified providing substantial improvements to benefits and a competitive increase to remuneration beginning in April 2025. https://physiciancareerspei.ca/physicianservicesagreement/ |
