W2 vs. 1099 Contracts: Which is Better?

The salary trap

Salaried employees are often expected to work overtime with the justification that because they are salaried, they are not entitled to overtime pay. We explore how this practice affects actual hourly rates and how a culture of working overtime without compensation hurts all SLPs. Join us and learn from an SLP with nearly 3 decades of experience in the field.

Stuck on the teacher pay scale

"We need a union!" is often one of the first rallying cries when SLPs get together to bemoan the pay problem in our field. But are unions the answer? Meet "Marie" who shares what it's like to work in a state largely dominated by unions that get SLPs "stuck on a teacher pay scale." We also discuss licensing gatekeeping and the fact that multiple state, interstate, and national licenses are perceived as required for this profession when other professions only require a state license.

Know your worth

SLPs are often employed by companies who do not understand the value that SLPs bring to the bottom line (not to mention to the humans that they serve). How do we ditch our imposter syndrome, know our worth, and communicate that worth clearly to our employers? How can this translate to better working relationships, more respect (for ourselves and from others), and better pay? Join "Julie" and Ingrid Desormes (host of The Miseducation of the SLP podcast) as we tease apart these questions.
