what should you insist on in a contract?

I realize that the contract I signed for my current assignment is very vague and has terms in it that I should not have agreed to. I might decide to take another contract in the future, but I don't want to get taken advantage of. What specific points would you insist a contract include in order for you to sign it? What are the red flags for an unfair contract?

    This thread inspired me to talk to my recruiter about my contract and they said something weird. That holiday pay legally can only be 1.5-2x your base hourly pay (which is obviously low since we live on stipends). Is it like this for everyone else or have you ever heard of that before? It makes me not want to work any holidays during my contract if I'll be making LESS than I was as a staff nurse per hour that day.

    The consequences are that you will get off your butt and line up some better recruiters!

    That was awesome!!! LOL!!!

    MsConstrued: my base pay rate is $18/hr and my holiday rate is $27. Not sure what the "rules" are. Pluses and minuses to holidays. I actually prefer to work them bc it's usually slower, admin is gone, & I don't like to do "touristy" things on holidays. I'm not really worried what everyone else is getting paid, staff wise.

    Thank you! I prefer to work them also, even the big ones. I'd rather have a few extra bucks on my check and celebrate the next day with my family instead.
