In this episode, join me, Dr Bi Mian and Munzural Khan, Chairman at KHI Partners, as we share important financial tips that could save early-career doctors from costly employment mistakes and missed entitlements.

We talk about the elements every doctor should check on their first payslip, the complexity of medical overtime payments and penalties, and why HECS obligations can create unexpected tax headaches if not properly managed.

We also discuss the differences in doctor pay scales between Australian states, how enterprise bargaining agreements can significantly impact your earning potential, and a real-world case where a doctor discovered years of underpayment due to incorrect pay grade classification.

If you want to protect yourself from common employment pitfalls, ensure you're being paid correctly, and maximise your financial benefits as a medical professional, then make sure to listen to this episode!
