III. Salary/Benefits
| |
Salary scales for residents rotating at the Moffitt/Long, Mt. Zion,
and Veteran’s Administration campuses are established by the
Regents of the University of California and the Office of the President
and are consistent throughout the five medical schools (San Francisco,
San Diego, Los Angeles, Davis and Irvine). A copy of the current scale
may be obtained from department representative or the Office of the
Senior Associate Dean for Graduate Medical Education (MU 250 East)
or the from the Office of the President of the University of California,
http://www.ucop.edu.
While rotating to SFGH, Housestaff are exclusively represented by
Committee of Interns & Residents (CIR) under a collective bargaining
agreement with the City and County of San Francisco. Accordingly,
CIR dues are deducted from paychecks. While assigned to San Francisco
General Hospital, salary scales differ from those of the University
of California. The salary at SFGH is determined by the City &
County budgetary process and is a function of the number of days in
each month. Thus, paychecks while working at SFGH may vary from those
at the other campuses. If this poses a problem regarding cost-of living
issues, the GME office (MU 250E) has made a provision for an emergency
short-term, interest free loan.
State and Federal taxes as well as Medicare will automatically be
deducted from earnings. In addition, the DCP (Defined Contribution
Plan) payment is available through the University.
Paychecks at most hospitals (Moffitt-Long, Veterans Administration,
Mt. Zion, Children's, Kaiser, etc.) are issued through the University.
Paychecks from San Francisco General Hospital are issued directly
by the City and County of San Francisco. Checks issued by the UCSF
Payroll arrive on a monthly basis in arrears (i.e., August 1st paycheck
represents July earnings). Disposition of salary can be requested
in one of three ways:
- Sure pay (direct bank deposit)
- Pick-up in the home department.
- Mailed to the home or campus address
Direct deposit is preferred—safe and reliable. The employment
packet from the department contains a request form to specify preference.
The disposition method can be changed at any time by submitting a
revised form. Checks from the City and County are issued at SFGH bi-weekly
and may be picked-up in the SFGH Department Office.
