What Should You Pay Your Practitioners In 2026? | GYC Podcast 370

Are you paying your practitioners fairly - or just paying them?In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, we sit down with Sara Siami, founder of The People Plugin, to tackle one of the most avoided conversations in clinic ownership: practitioner pay. We break down how to build a clear pay philosophy that aligns with your clinic's goals, structure a remuneration framework that rewards high performers without blowing your budget, and run performance reviews that actually mean something. We also cover the true cost of employment (hint: it's more than the salary), how to benchmark against industry standards, and the legal minefield of contractor vs. employee classification - including the sham contracting risks that could cost your clinic big.If you're ready to stop winging pay conversations and build a structure that rewards performance and protects your bottom line, this episode is your playbook.Resources:You can find Sara Siami at https://www.thepeopleplugin.com/  and book in with her at  https://meetings.hubspot.com/sara-siami Need to systemise your clinic?
