Coordination with Group Employment
This addresses how your individual arrangement fits with the larger group's employment terms, policies, and obligations.
When you join a group, your individual contract sits inside the group's broader structure: shared policies, group-level payer contracts, call rotations, and sometimes a master employment agreement. This provision coordinates the two so they do not conflict. The risk is being bound by group documents you never negotiated or even saw, incorporated into your contract by a single reference.
Ask for every group-level document your contract incorporates by reference, including bylaws and policy manuals. You are agreeing to all of it, so read what governs the group, not just your individual terms.
