We’re excited to offer sign-on bonuses for qualified Respiratory Therapists who join our team:

$15,000 for therapists with 0–1 year of experience with a 2-year full-time commitment
$20,000 for therapists with 1+ years of experience with a 2-year full-time commitment

Plus, a limited-time incentive to earn an additional $10,000 upon completion of your third year of employment.

As part of the program, participants must commit to working to the maximum of their
budgeted shifts based on FTE status as off-shift hours (12-hour blocks such as 3 p.m. to
3 a.m., 4 p.m. to 4 a.m., etc. or 8-hour blocks such as 11 p.m to 7 a.m, etc.).

Eligible participants will receive an additional $2 per hour night program differential, on

top of their hospital’s current off-shift differential, for night hours worked as part of the
program.
o This $2 will be given on top of the new, market-competitive shift differentials.

Any additional worked day shifts (meetings, competencies, additional overtime shifts) will

be paid without the night program differential.

Respiratory Therapists who work rotating night shifts as part of their schedule, but are

not participants in the night program, will not receive the additional $2 differential.

All PTO (paid time off) requests must continue to be approved, in advance, by the

participant’s unit director/manager, and the night program differential will not be applied
to the hourly rate paid for PTO.
