​
Pay schedule

The practice runs payroll through Gusto on a twice-monthly schedule. Paydays are set in advance and stated in your offer letter. If a payday falls on a weekend or bank holiday, you’re paid the preceding business day. Utah law (Utah Code § 34-28-3(1)) requires paydays at least semimonthly, and pay within 10 days after the close of the pay period. We meet both.

​
What you’re told at hire

Utah law (Utah Code § 34-28-4) requires an employer to tell each employee, at hire, the rate of pay and the day and place of payment, and to give notice before either changes. Before your first day, you’ll receive in writing:
  • Your rate of pay (salary or hourly rate)
  • Your pay schedule and first payday
  • How any bonus is calculated and when it’s paid
  • Your monthly benefits allowance, if your role has one
  • Whether you’re exempt or non-exempt
If anything about your pay changes, you’ll get written notice before the change takes effect. For clinicians, the practice commits to at least 30 days’ written notice before any change to the bonus formula.

​
How the pieces fit

For clinicians, pay has three published parts: base salary, the production bonus, and the monthly benefits allowance. All three are on the hiring site and in your offer letter, and together they are your total compensation. How you route the allowance is up to you; see Benefits elections.

​
Direct deposit

Pay is delivered by direct deposit through Gusto. Enter and update your bank information in Gusto yourself; nobody on the team should ever handle your account numbers by email or text. If you prefer not to use direct deposit, tell the practice manager in writing and we’ll arrange a paper check.

​
Pay statements

Every payday, Gusto gives you an itemized statement showing gross pay, each deduction, and net pay. Review it. If something looks wrong, tell the practice manager the same week so it can be fixed on the next run.

​
Deductions

We withhold what the law requires: federal income tax, Utah income tax, Social Security, and Medicare. Utah uses the federal W-4 for state withholding; there’s no separate state form. We don’t make any other deduction from your pay without your express written authorization, except where a court order or the law requires it (Utah Code § 34-28-3(6)). Every deduction is itemized on your pay statement. A benefits election is a written authorization; see Benefits elections.

​
Payroll errors

If you’re underpaid, tell the practice manager and we’ll correct it as quickly as possible, on an off-cycle run if needed. If you’re overpaid, we’ll work out a repayment plan with you rather than simply deducting it.

​
Who to ask

Payroll questions go to the practice manager, Sonja Scriven. Questions about the bonus formula’s design go to Zack. Whether a specific figure is right goes to Sonja.
