Salary coefficient

If the specialist receives a percentage or fixed rate from the work performed, then activate the Performs work switch in the Settings → Salary section. After that, the system will automatically calculate the salary taking into account the relevant interest rates.

To assign individual interest rates to each specialist, click the Salary coefficients button and configure them according to the instructions.

From the active list at the top of the page, select those specialists who are charged a percentage or flat rate for certain services one by one. Then, in the fields of the table below, specify the percentage or fixed amount of the service cost that will be charged to the employee upon completion of each of the manipulations.

Amount of salary = Cost of manipulation * coefficient of salary

At the same time, one doctor may have different rates (or no rates at all), depending on the type of service and the terms of cooperation between the clinic and the doctor. And the calculation of the interest rate for the same specialist can be performed simultaneously by two parameters:

  • doctor's rate
  • assistant's rate

In this case, salaries can be calculated at different percentage rates for the same manipulation (for example, in cases where one doctor assists another).

You can also first deduct the cost of services from the calculation of a specialist's salary and only then calculate the salary from the profit on the work performed. To exclude the cost of the service from the calculation, specify its amount in the Spending field.

Amount of salary = (Cost of manipulation - Expenses) * salary coefficient

Please note that it is possible to customize both clinical and individual Spendings for each doctor. To do this, use the active list with clinic participants at the top of the page. In the list, select the Clinic coefficients option and specify the cost of each price item in the Spending field. 

Subsequently, when you select a clinic employee from the list, the Spendings of the item according to the Clinic Coefficients will be displayed in the Spending field in gray. To determine the individual costs for a specialist, specify the cost of the manipulation on the specialist's page in the Spending field.

Amount of salary = (Cost of manipulation - Clinic expenses - Employee expenses) * salary coefficient

You can also deduct discounts from the cost of services provided to patients when calculating the salary of specialists. To deduct the discount from the cost of the service, put a blue check mark in the Discount field opposite those price items for which such a calculation will be relevant. This way, the cost of the service for this manipulation will be calculated without the discount amount:

Amount of salary = (Cost of manipulation - Discount amount) * salary coefficient

If your clinic does not deduct the amount of discounts from the work performed before calculating the salary, uncheck the Discount when setting up salary coefficients checkbox.

Important! The costs and discounts you specify in the appropriate fields only affect the percentage of the doctor's earnings and do not affect the fixed earnings. That is, for fixed earnings, the specified amount from each price item will be charged without taking into account expenses.

On each doctor's page, to the right of the specialist selection field, there is a second field where you can select one of two categories of settings for the coefficients of the fee schedule for Clinic Patients and Doctor's Patients

The Doctor's Patients category allows you to set up a different percentage rate when working with certain patients. For example, this may apply to patients from the doctor's personal database.

In order for a specialist to be charged a different rate when working with a patient, you need to specify the required specialist in the Patient of the doctor field in the patient's profile.

By default, Cliniccards calculates doctors' salaries based on acts of performed work. Accordingly, the doctor receives a salary at the moment when he or she performs the work.

If your clinic has a practice of calculating salaries after actual patient payments, select the system of calculating salaries based on actual patient payments. To do this, go to the Settings → Other → Clinic settings section and activate the Calculate salaries based on actual patient payments switch. In this case, doctors will be paid only after the patient has paid for the services rendered.

It is important to remember that if you change the interest rates on salaries for specialists, the amounts of payroll accruals will be recalculated in accordance with the new values of the coefficients. In this regard, before changing the salary coefficients, it is necessary to make a full mutual settlement with all clinic specialists who are paid according to this principle.

There are several reports in Cliniccards you can use to manage the salary accrual and payments:

More information on the reports is available in the section Reports in the Manual.
