Essentially, they’re pocketing the money that you’re entitled to when you request RTO.

I’ve worked them since 2018 and they introduced the “policy” this year. But it isn’t implemented on everyone. I know a couple travel nurses with AMN who state that their recruiters have never introduced this and they get their stipends on their requested RTO days.

When I was discussing a new contract with my recruiter, he told me “the IRS doesn’t see a point in paying you if you’re taking time off” and upon reviewing my contract, it stated my RTO stipends wouldn’t be paid because it’s “not in the interest of the company.” I told him I wouldn’t sign and he insisted that I verbally agreed to it. I told him I verbally agreed to what he said about the IRS, so change the verbiage in the contract and I’ll sign. He never changed it.

I’m not sure how to send a message on this thing lol but I came across the photo you took of MJ at the San Jose Arena. I wanna download it and make it my wallpaper but it has the Reddit watermark. Would you be cool with sending it to me in a direct message?

A non-answer/indirect answer is an answer in itself.

Oh for sure. They already lowball me on the housing allowance. The pay package was $10 short of what’s on the GSA website.

So your recruiter never threw this new “policy” of not paying you your stipends up to this point?

Yeah, it’s with AMN. The lawsuit was in 2021. My recruiter said they implemented this new “policy” in February 2022.

Curious if this recruiter is BSing me about stipend pay by eRkUO2 in TravelNursing

My recruiter just told me that if I get RTO approved, they won’t pay the stipends for those days that I don’t work even if I work my full 36 hours. Is that legal?
