FAQ
How do I compare two nursing contracts?
Compare total compensation across the whole contract length, not the base rate alone. Differentials, expected overtime, charge bonuses, and the FLSA blended rate all change the real number. This tool projects each contract's gross side by side so you can see the dollar gap, not a marketing rate.
Does overtime change when I have shift differentials?
Yes. Under FLSA §778, overtime is calculated on your blended rate — total straight-time earnings divided by total hours — not on your base rate alone. When you have night, weekend, or holiday differentials, your real OT premium is higher than 1.5× base.
