Honoraria Payments
Honoraria are payments for speaking, teaching, or advisory work, and the contract decides whether you keep them.
Honoraria are payments you receive for activities outside direct patient care: giving talks, teaching, serving on advisory boards. The question your contract answers is whether those payments are yours or the practice's. Some employment agreements claim any income earned during your employment, which can sweep in honoraria you assumed were personal.
Look for language assigning outside income to the employer. If you plan to speak or consult, negotiate the right to keep your honoraria explicitly rather than assuming they are yours.
