I have contract signing coming up and I am planning on a leave of absence during the contractual period. My job will entail taking calls (shift work) which is rotated among the 7 of us. I have no other duties besides the shift work and will be considered 1099 status.
My question is- my contract states that "I am to provide a minimal of four (4) shift coverage per month..."
In this setting, can those 4 calls a month be satisfied as long as it is averaged out to meet the 4 calls/month criteria over the duration of the contract (12 months) or does it have to be met verbatim. I am told that the physicians in the group switch calls with each other all the time and the final schedule never looks like the original one posted by the time each physician has reviewed it. Should I have them change the wording of the contract to say something like "I am to provide, on average, a minimal of four (4) shift coverage per month...."
I am not quite ready to explain why I need the leave of absence to the group yet.
Appreciate input. Thanks.
