Disclaimers:

Benefits & Salary Eligibility Disclaimer: Initial employment status upon hire is compensated as a W-2 commission-based employee (75/25 split of generated income, 75% to the therapist). Benefits eligibility and the transition to a fixed salary commence only after the therapist meets key performance conditions, which is typically confirmed during the first 30-day performance review. Failure to meet key performance conditions by the 90-day performance review results is employee dismissal.

Therapists who reside in Pennsylvania may enroll in BGT's group insurance contract with Cigna only. Insurance enrollment can take up 8 weeks, and may delay eligibility for benefits.
