Although the staffing agency is the employer for taxes and payroll purposes, a host employer still has some responsibilities under anti-discrimination laws, the Family and Medical Leave Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act. (more…)
Medical Executive Management Leaders Command Excellent Salaries
As Baby Boomers age and begin to make larger demands on the American health care system, the need will also increase for medical facilities and for medical executive managers to run them. As a result, career prospects for aspiring medical executive managers are favorable. This is especially true for candidates with advanced degrees.
Medical executive managers are typically paid well for their services. Individuals at the executive level command salaries that sometimes reach six figures.
