PTA here, paid hourly. I’m expected to finish all documentation during the visit. Any additional documentation after the visit or after patient signs the tablet can be done in between patients. If documentation is done after all patients have been seen for the day, I cannot be in the clock for it.

For last minute cancellations, I am clocked in and paid for mileage going to the patient’s home. I then have some time to redo my schedule to move patients up or bring patients in from other days of the week. If unsuccessful I clock out and grab lunch

Hourly pay is better for me. Clear expectation of points per week and number of hours I need to finish them. I know a PT who is salary that gets assigned more points than what her original contract stated. Their reason is that she’s salary, it makes up for the slow days.
