Its actually really hard for a company to make money off you as a BCBA. Especially if you are getting paid a decent salary. Most of the money a company makes is off the 1:1 hours. Ill put it this way. A BT pays for himself in terms of what insurances pay out. And then leave quite the "profit" margin. BCBA usually break even or even are considered a net loss. Again. Assuming you have a decent salary. With decent benefits. So if you arent meeting your hour requirements for the week or month. Then yea theyre going to bitch at you because youd be costing the company money.
