Paying BLS Instructors to Teach Classes

This came from Marilyn Schaffner.  I have been made aware that BLS instructors utilized by the training center are paid in inconsistent ways. Some are paid by the area managers; some are paid by the training center.

I would like to clarify the process for paying instructors. In order to accurately track the costs of this training, the Training Center budgets to pay instructors hospital wide.  Hourly staff members who assist with these classes should do so on their own time outside of work hours and will be paid a flat rate by the training center through UMS. For time spent during work hours assisting with BLS training by salaried staff, time keepers should transfer the hours in Kronos to the clinical education cost center 99440. Salaried employees who instruct outside of work hours will be paid the flat rate by the training center through UMS.
