I was wondering if anyone has worked through a travel company/recruiting company for the school year? I am negotiating contracts and there are clauses in there that make me uncomfortable to sign. Specifically, the Minimum Hours Worked Penalty. I intend on working all 35 hours per week, but life happens, and I rather not get penalized if I miss an hour for whatever reason that might be. Does anyone have experience in this? The recruiter is saying that "they do not take anything out or omit anything from the contract as these are standardized contracts and don't usually adjust or change verbage out." I feel like contracts are negotiable. Can anyone tell me how this may work in a school setting? Also, if you have done a contract with travel pay and stipend: if the contract states that it is a 7 days per week stipend did you get the stipend even over the weekends and/or holidays? For context, I will be working in NYS. My recruiter says under NYS laws they cannot enforce the Minimum Hours Work Penalty. Does anyone have experience with this? Additionally, regarding the stipend he says he will be doing over a 7 day week, but if there is a holiday than I will not receive the stipend that day, but "should" still receive it over the weekend? Does anyone have experience with this? And since school have half days will you still receive the daily stipend?
