What
are the Agency fees for Temporary/Short-Term placements?
There is a non-refundable annual Registration
Fee of $295.00 that allows you to use all of our services,
including searching for a long-term candidate or use
our Temporary/Short-Term department. In addition to
the registration fee, there is a referral fee due to
the agency of $40 for each day the provider is placed
in your home for days or evenings. There are additional
fees for overnights and holidays. There is a 4-hour
minimum.
If you have a one-time only temporary
need, you can choose to decline the annual registration
fee and pay a referral fee of $70 for each day the provider
comes to your home. There are additional fees for overnights
and holidays. The referral fee is due when a candidate
is confirmed for the assignment.

What
if I want to hire the temporary candidate on long-term
basis?
If you choose to hire a temporary
candidate on a long-term basis, a Placement Counselor
will be happy to review the long-term placement fee
structure with you. Temporary fees do not apply toward
a permanent referral fee.

person for you. We make every effort to honor our clients'
requests and with sufficient notice, we can usually
make the necessary arrangements. We understand our clients'
need for consistency.
