    What time off does to a wRVU bonus

    A productivity bonus pays for wRVUs above an annual threshold. If the threshold isn't reduced for approved leave, the weeks you take off have to be made up in the weeks you work. Numbers stay in your browser.

    Questions for the employer or counsel

    • Is the wRVU threshold reduced for approved PTO, CME, holidays and protected leave (FMLA or parental)? By how much per week?
    • Is the threshold measured over the contract year, the calendar year or a rolling period, and how is a partial first year handled?
    • Are any wRVUs credited for leave days, or for administrative and teaching time?
    • If the threshold is not reduced, is the bonus reconciled annually, so a heavy month can make up a week away?

    The alternative shown reduces the threshold by 1/52 for each week of leave. It is one way contracts handle leave, not a legal rule; contracts differ, and some credit wRVUs for leave days instead. This is arithmetic on the numbers entered, not legal or financial advice.
