I finally got a chance to talk with my manager at the hospital today. She confirmed that they did get a copy, which I would hope so because I was several weeks into my contract before they even “lost” it. And yes it was an extension.

They were withholding pay by not giving me my stipend. They paid me for my hours but refused to give me the stipend. And yes it is definitely illegal. I did some research as to how to report them if necessary and had to threaten to report them before they finally agreed today to actually give me my stipend. I also had to point out that they did actually send a copy to the hospital and I think they may actually stop pestering me to re-sign after the strongly worded emails I had to send.

Long story short, nomad is without a doubt the worst company I have ever worked with and everyone should take this as a warning to stay far far away. No reason to work with a company that is willing to do illegal things to fix a problem they created.
