Competitive wage and salary program continues

Thanks to another year of positive financial performance, the MGH again will offer employees a competitive wage and salary program for fiscal year 2008. The Massachusetts General Physicians Organization (MGPO) will follow a similar approach, with each practice responsible for making the compensation decisions based on the financial ability to participate.

The MGH wage and salary program will provide up to a 5 percent increase in pay for employees on their raise-effective date, funded at 3 percent. Employees who are above the maximum point of their pay range are eligible for a bonus of up to 3 percent on their raise-effective date, funded at 2 percent. A completed performance appraisal is required before any increase or bonus is processed.

"In the past year, we have seen tremendous progress in all aspects of hospital operations that could not have been achieved without the hard work and dedication of all our employees and staff," says Peter L. Slavin, MD, MGH president. "I'm proud to see the spirit of collaboration that is taking place in every department, every unit and every practice to reach this goal."

Any questions about the wage and salary program should be directed to employees' managers or supervisors.
