Is it possible for a facility request a traveler to stay longer than their initial assignment?
Yes. In fact, many of our travelers get extended for longer than their initial assignment. You can extend your assignment for any duration that suits you.

We have placed travelers within a day of their interview and as early as five months before the start date.
Who is responsible for providing accommodations for the traveler?
With our standard service agreement, Elite Medical Group Staffing’s housing department will find suitable accommodations for the healthcare professionals you employ through EMGS. We have contracts with housing communities in all 50 states. Occasionally, a hospital client will prefer to arrange their own housing.
Can we schedule travelers to work with our regular staff for the entire length of their assignment?
YES!. This is one of the greatest benefits of using our healthcare professionals. They become a part of your regular staff and work a full-time schedule.

For travelers who work 8- or 10- hour shifts, 40 hours per week is considered full-time. Travelers who work 12-hour shifts are considered on a full schedule at 36 hours per week.

EMG Staffing will be responsible for workers' compensation insurance and all employer-related taxes and insurance when the travelers are on our payroll. If travelers are on the client facility's payroll, the client is then considered the employer and responsible for taxes and insurance.
