Job seekers
Pay you can see. Benefits you can count on.
Every posting shows the hourly candidate rate, and travel contracts show an estimated weekly figure. Here's everything else that comes with a UHC Staffing assignment.
Direct Pay
Direct deposit every pay period — weekly or bi-weekly depending on the assignment — from your first payday, run by a payroll team that has been with UHC Staffing since 2013.
Health coverage
Medical, dental and vision coverage for eligible clinicians, with day-1 options on many contracts.
Simple IRA
A SIMPLE IRA retirement plan with an employer contribution for eligible clinicians — easy to set up, and it moves with you between assignments.
Housing & meal stipends
Travel contracts include tax-free housing and meal stipends for clinicians who maintain a tax home, following GSA rates for the assignment county.
Payroll deduction
We pay for required tests on qualifying assignments, so you are not out of pocket before you start. Where a cost is yours to carry, you can spread it through payroll deduction instead of paying up front. Verification through Nursys and state boards is handled for you.
24/7 recruiter support
One recruiter for your whole assignment, plus an after-hours line for every active clinician.
Understand your pay package
How travel pay works
1. Taxable base
An hourly base rate that is taxed like any wage.
2. Stipends
Non-taxable housing and meal stipends if you maintain a tax home. Your recruiter shows the split before you sign.
3. Extras
Overtime, call pay, completion and referral bonuses, and reimbursements where the contract includes them.
Compare offers by weekly take-home, not blended hourly rate — read the full guide.

Taxable pay
The hourly base is taxed like other wages. Ask for the expected weekly hours and overtime rules so you can compare offers accurately.
Housing and meals
Eligible travel clinicians may receive housing and meal stipends when they meet applicable tax-home requirements. Your recruiter explains the package before you sign.
Benefits and support
Eligible clinicians may have access to medical, dental and vision coverage, a SIMPLE IRA contribution, payroll support and an after-hours line for active assignments.
Pay and benefits questions
Should I compare offers by hourly rate only?
No. Compare expected weekly pay, guaranteed hours, overtime, stipends, benefits, travel costs and the full contract terms before choosing an assignment.
Are stipends available on every assignment?
Stipend eligibility depends on the assignment, tax-home circumstances and applicable rules. Ask your recruiter for the written taxable and non-taxable breakdown.
When should I ask about benefits?
Ask during the first recruiter conversation and confirm the eligibility date and enrollment steps before accepting the assignment.
