Pay and stipends on PTA travel assignments in Santa Clara, CA
The published package on this contract is $1,806 gross per week — $638 in taxable wages plus $1,168 in stipends toward housing and meals, non-taxable where you qualify — or about $32,508 over the 18 weeks. You see the breakdown before you submit rather than after you sign, and your recruiter goes through it with you line by line. On top of the weekly package comes a $1,558 starting bonus, paid out separately.
On paper the assignment is 18 weeks long, about 35 hours a week and on the Day shift, about 630 scheduled hours end to end. Licensure and credentialing run alongside the submission rather than after it, so your CA paperwork is under way while the submission is in review and not left to the last week before the Santa Clara start date.
