Ridiculous Company - Physical Therapist Assistant Reliant Rehabilitation Employee Review

Expect 95% or higher productivity daily. They expect you to do "group" or "concurrent" treatments with all patients, even when it's not appropriate. They claim that is how you keep your productivity high...but you spend more time trying to gather up all your patients for the group, that it wastes all the time that you would have "saved." My facility did not have a therapy tech to assist with retrieving patients for us, so a lot of time was wasted on getting patients up and dressed and ready for therapy. This particular facility would hold a large "group" therapy on Friday, and all disciplines would participate...it wouldn't go any longer, but each discipline would lead an exercise each go round. I hated Fridays, and would stay after everyone else left, and treat my patients for the rest of their allotted minutes. I was written up, and was told I was "riding the clock" by doing this. It was at this time I turned in my notice. My time with Reliant, I saw no pay raises, on Pay decreases. By the time I left, I was making less than I did when I first got out of school. There are no paid holidays. If you want a holiday off, you have to work the Sunday before or the Saturday after. We were required to find our own PRN coverage if we wanted to take PTO. If we were out sick one day, we had to come in on Saturday to make up the visits we missed. There were times that I had over 18 hours of treatment on my schedule for one day...and was expected to get all of the treated. They expect all patients to have the max amount of treatment minutes...whether the patient can physically handle it or not. They are all about money, nothing else. They do not care one bit about the patients, nor the therapists. I was required to attend a yearly Woundcare Class, and the DOR would always "forget" to let me know when one was being held nearby. I was never reimbursed for my gas, food, or hotel even though I submitted all required receipts and paperwork. 6 years of this...and the closest one I went to was 4 hours away.
