How to read this
Why are the agencies not named?
This page is about how much pay varies, not about any one company. Letters keep the comparison fair and let you see the spread you should expect when you shop an assignment. Letters are reassigned as the data changes, so Agency A today may not be Agency A tomorrow.
What is an advertised weekly package?
The weekly figure on a public listing. It usually combines taxable hourly pay with housing and meal stipends, so it is not take-home pay. Compare the taxable base, stipend eligibility, guaranteed hours and benefits before you accept.
Where do the numbers come from?
Current public travel PT listings that state a weekly package, plus the roles on this board, checked daily. Listings that give pay by the hour or year are left out rather than converted. The typical range runs from the 10th to the 90th percentile, so a single unusual listing does not stretch it.
