Physician Contract Glossary · Contract Structure
Performance Conditions
Performance conditions are the standards and metrics you must meet to keep your job or earn incentive pay.
Performance conditions are the benchmarks the contract holds you to: productivity targets, quality metrics, documentation standards, citizenship expectations. They can gate your bonus, and in some contracts repeated failure to meet them is a for-cause termination trigger. The danger is conditions that are vague, unilaterally defined by the employer, or set at levels no one in the group actually hits.
Ask for objective, written, measurable conditions and find out what happens if you miss them. Subjective performance standards judged solely by the employer give them a path to terminate or withhold bonus at will.
