Carmen's practice, which operates with eight hygienists, is considering a shift from a commission-based model to a more hygiene-driven approach to support expansion and ensure fair pay. Jason shares insights from his own experience, suggesting a percentage of adjusted production and tenure-based model. They explore a hybrid tier system to motivate skill elevation and system adoption. The episode emphasizes the need for a balanced, thoughtful approach to compensation that aligns with practice goals and standards of care.
