Low compensation, too many meetings - Mental Health Practitioner Sagent Behavioral Health Employee Review

Thank you so much for your valuable feedback. As a former employee your feedback is really important to us. We are committed to making Nystrom a great place to work. We do not control how much taxes are withheld from an employee’s paycheck. We also are unable to control when patients cancel their appointments but do strive to enable and train our staff on how to help reduce the amount of patient cancellations whenever possible. In order for our ARMHS and CTSS Mental Health Practitioners to obtain mileage benefits, we require that they have 25 hours per week, or 50 hours per pay period. PTO is accrued when a Mental Health Practitioner works 35 hours per week (70 hours total per pay period) in ARMHS and 68 hours per pay period (every two weeks) in CTSS. All of the required meetings are compensated via the salary that this position as a Mental Health Practitioner entails. Generally, ARMHS Mental Health Practitioners have 5 hours of meetings per month and CTSS Mental Health Practitioners have 8 hours of meetings each month. These meeting times and requirements are required by the Minnesota Department of Human Services. We will use your feedback to evaluate our compensation and benefits package in the future to remain competitive within the mental health industry. Again, thank you for your feedback.
