I’m a travel nurse that recently started a contract with a hospital. I was with HR and the scheduler the other day because there was a discrepancy with scheduling shifts. The scheduler showed me the emails between her and the HR rep of my specific contract. I know it was my specific contract because my name was attached to it.
As I was looking through the emails as the scheduler asked me to look through because she then took a phone call, I saw the pay rate per hour the hospital is paying the agency for me to work there.
I come to find out that I am being paid less than half of the hospital’s pay rate. When I emailed my recruiter for the hospital’s pay rate, this is what they emailed me.
Overall, I am asking if it’s worth moving forward with this agency or try to create an internal contract with the facility directly? Also, is it legal to keep pay rates hidden?
