Compensation

1. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a psychology intern may be paid a fixed wage on a periodic basis and may not be paid on a percentage of the fees received. An employment agreement between a supervisor and psychology intern which does not provide for the payment of a wage may be approved by the board if the board determines the agreement is in the best interest of the psychology intern. 2. A psychology intern may not receive fees for professional services except as the agent of the psychology intern's employing supervisor or agency. 3. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a supervisor may not accept compensation from a psychology intern for supervision. In extenuating circumstances, the board may approve the acceptance of such compensation by a supervisor. Any agreement concerning the compensation of a supervisor by a psychology intern for supervision must be approved by the board before it becomes effective. 4. A supervisor shall ensure that the emphasis of the supervised experience of a psychology intern whom the supervisor supervises is on the training of the psychology intern, rather than on the raising of revenue by the psychology intern. 5. Supervisors in private practice settings may charge for individual supervision only and shall limit their fee for an individual face-to-face supervision hour that does not exceed the supervisor's reasonable and standard hourly fee for professional services to a patient.
