Hello Everyone, This is my first post. I just received a contract to work in a Northern California Hospital. Here are the financial terms: 48hr/week for 13 weeks Hourly wage: $22.75 Overtime: $35.49 Housing stipend: $693/week Per Diem: $427/week Total take home pay after estimated taxes: $2014.37/week I'm fine with the take home pay, I just can't wrap my brain around my hourly wage. This is the first time I have worked with this company and I'm just not sure. I might have been spoiled because the travel company that I normally work with pays a fantastic hourly salary and gives either free housing or a housing stipend. They just did not have anything in California at this time. For this company, I had to take the housing stipend because my take home pay would have been around $1,400/week without it. I am excited about going to California. I'm excited about working for this hospital. But I keep thinking "I will be only making $22.75/hr that's crazy!" So my fellow travelers, does this seem like a reasonable contract? Should I just focus on my take home pay and block out my hourly wage? Thank you for your replies
