Why was the 400 dollar bonus a disaster? Did only some get it? I looked it up on salary.com and it looks like the 10% to 90% spread on CMA pay is 12 to 18 dollars per hour. I've always had a CMA at reception so they could fill in if my back office CMA gets sick or quits, but she hardly ever gets to work on her skills. Last time I switched her back into CMA work she didn't seem very happy. However, she is more expensive than a receptionist. Does anyone else staff the front with CMA's or nurses?
