I work for an agency {Agency B} and I have been working two 12 hour shifts for 3 months at Hospital Q. They are happy with my work through the agency but Hospital Q will not "buy out" my contract because it would cost $7500.00. I work along side of a nurse from Agency A. Agency A made a deal with Hospital Q to bring this nurse on staff at hospital Q for NO BUYOUT!.
However, the deal is this: Hospital Q gets the nurse free from agency A {they hire her on staff without a buyout} but Hospital Q can no longer use nurses from Agency A's competitor Agency B.
I can no longer work through Agency B at Hospital Q. I do not want to work for Agency A as the pay is less.
Is it legal for Hospital Q to make such a deal? Isn't this like a kick back to the agency??
I really am CONFUSED.
