Hi, everyone I have question regarding about the pay rate for the orientation time. I am recently signed a contract with the traveling agency and I spent one week orientation at the hospital that the traveling agency wanted me to work for. As a spoke with the recruiter, he said that the hospital will pay for the orientation time, and I also remember that on the first day of the orientation, the hiring staff of the hospital said that, "we paid for your orientation". However, went got paid and receive the payroll, I found out that they paid me with the minimum wage. I called the agency ask them about the minimum wage instead of RN rate per hour. They said that the hospital doesn't pay RN as RN rate for the orientation period. The agency pay for the orientation time with the minimum rate. I think they are trying to trick me and rib me off. What they are doing is very unethical. I really need help with the clarification about the RN rate for the orientation time. Thank you in advance for your time.
