INTERN, RESIDENT AND FELLOW BENEFITS<\/p>\n

Boston Sports Club Benefit<\/strong><\/p>\n

All union members are eligible to receive a discounted membership to the Boston Sports Clubs. Members will receive a 40% reduction in both monthly and joining fees.<\/p>\n

Committee of Intern and Residents (CIR) Membership Dues (or Agency Fee)<\/strong><\/p>\n

House Officers and fellows are members of the Committee of Interns and Residents (CIR). Members of CIR pay dues of 1.5% of their net gross salary, deducted weekly. Those house officers who elect to forgo union membership are required (by law) to pay an \u201cagency fee\u201d (also deducted weekly) of 1.45% of their salary.<\/p>\n

Extra On-Call<\/strong><\/p>\n

In certain situations, House Officers are compensated for additional work that they are asked to do. For example, if they are required to work for one of their ill colleagues, they may be entitled to as much as $750 (pay scale reflects the number or additional hours worked).<\/span><\/p>\n

Lab Coats<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Hospital provides all interns, residents, and fellows with three (3) white coats in their first year of training, and two (2) for each successive year of their residency or fellowship.<\/p>\n

Lease Guarantee Program<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Hospital agrees to act as the Guarantor in the event a House Officer\u2019s landlord requires advance payment of up to two months of rent (security deposit and\/or last month\u2019s payment), as a condition for entering into a lease (up to a maximum of $6,500). The Hospital guarantees payment to the landlord under specified terms, and the House Officer agrees to reimburse for any payment the Hospital is required to make under the Guarantee. Those enrolled in this program do not need to provide landlords with more than 1-month rent (i.e. no first\/last\/security deposit) when signing a lease.<\/p>\n
