Is your overtime being paid on the right rate?

Under the federal rule, overtime is one and a half times your regular rate — which includes shift differentials — not your base rate. Slide to see what that's worth.

Deliberately not here

What these tools won't do

Nothing that treats or triages

No doses, no drip rates, no triage, no risk scores, no interpretation of anything about a patient. Those need clinical validation, regulatory review and a named clinician standing behind them. The one deliberate, narrow exception: the mental health section scores the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 exactly as their authors publish them — as a prompt for a conversation, never a diagnosis.

Nothing that asks for patient information

The tools for clinicians are about your pay, your contracts and your practice, and take numbers rather than names. The mental health journal is for a person's own use: it lives in their own browser, can be encrypted with their own passphrase, and is never sent to anyone — so it is not a place for a clinician to keep client records.

Nothing that claims compliance

The renewal planner checks the hours you entered against the requirements you entered. It doesn't know what your board currently wants, and those requirements change — sometimes part-way through a cycle.

No tax, and no advice

Every pay figure is gross. Whether a travel stipend is untaxed depends on your circumstances rather than the offer, and it's the most expensive thing in travel healthcare to get wrong — ask someone who knows your situation.

Why pay and contracts first

Both are arithmetic problems where the correct answer isn't obvious and the common answer is wrong.

Overtime is not one and a half times your base rate. Under the federal rule it is one and a half times the regular rate, which includes your shift differentials. Work a run of nights into overtime and the difference is real money, every week, and it doesn't announce itself. The calculator above shows the gap; the full one lets you hold it against a payslip.

A weekly package and an hourly rate are different units. A travel contract quoted at $2,400 a week is mostly stipend rather than wages; a staff job at $48 an hour is all wages and comes with benefits. Converting both to what they pay per hour worked — benefits, unpaid commute, one-off costs and the weeks between assignments included — usually narrows the gap a long way.

And the figure almost nobody models: what happens when the hours don't turn up. Depending on three words in a contract, one cancelled shift a week costs somewhere between three and twenty-three thousand dollars over a thirteen-week assignment.

Considered and not built yet
  • Caseload and progress-summary tools for clinicians — these genuinely need de-identified patient slots, which means memory-only storage, session clearing and identifier warnings before a single page ships. Worth doing properly or not at all.
  • Nursing shift workload and assignment balance — useful, but a workload figure sits one short step from being read as a staffing-safety judgement, which it cannot be.
  • Handoff and incident tools — the highest privacy risk in the category and the lowest search demand. Not a good trade.
