Welcome to the ShiftMed blog where we discuss everything nursing, from professional insights to healthcare holidays to helpful hints for working with us.
When you claim shifts with ShiftMed, you're part of a team working as a W-2 employee—not a 1099 lone wolf. Unsure of the differences between W-2 employees and 1099 contractors? Don't worry; we'll break it down in the simplest, most entertaining way possible and discuss how these employment classifications influence your payroll taxes.
The proper classification of nursing staff is an incredibly important issue for hospitals and nursing facilities. The importance of proper classification affects not only the financial and legal standing of healthcare facilities but also the stability and rights of the nurses themselves. We explore how healthcare facilities can navigate the complexities of independent contractor status in nursing.
Nursing job apps have revolutionized how CNAs, LPNs, and RNs approach their careers. They put the ultimate job flexibility at your fingertips, providing the perfect work-life balance for your world. However, they're not all created equal. Some have you working shifts as a W-2 employee and others as a 1099 independent contractor. Which one is better? That's for you to decide.
Given the long hours you spend delivering safe, competent patient care, you probably don't give employment taxes much thought (unless you have a question about your paycheck). While numbers are probably the last thing you want to read about, it's essential to have a basic understanding of payroll and income taxes to ensure you meet your tax obligations and maintain financial stability.
In a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, the crux of success for post-acute and hospital system leaders lies in ensuring high-quality care, as it directly influences patient outcomes and the reputation of their facility. Paramount to achieving this is making sound staffing decisions. The right healthcare professionals enhance patient satisfaction and safety and foster a culture of improvement. ShiftMed recognizes the power of leveraging W-2 healthcare workers to bolster care quality, and we illuminate how it can transform your facility's performance.
Worker misclassification is a pressing issue in healthcare staffing relationships, with significant implications for healthcare facilities and professionals. Properly classifying workers as either W-2 employees or 1099 independent contractors is crucial to comply with tax obligations, labor laws, and ensure worker benefits.
The healthcare industry continues to evolve in response to ever-increasing demands. Amid this evolution, the role of nurses remains pivotal, necessitating a comprehensive strategy to incentivize their performance and commitment. This is where nurse staffing incentives come into play, aiding healthcare organizations in enhancing productivity, improving patient outcomes, ensuring quality care, and boosting staff retention. As a complete healthcare workforce solution, ShiftMed offers an extensive suite of benefits that can significantly contribute to these objectives and streamline healthcare professionals' work processes.
