About this site: who publishes Travel Therapy Pay and where its numbers come from

Travel Therapy Pay explains how a travel therapy pay package is built and shows what open contracts advertise, and it is published by the travel therapy agency whose own postings are the source of its pay figures. This page says who that publisher is, what the site does and does not do, how its figures are made and checked, and how to reach a person.

What is this site?

It is a guide to reading an offer. The pages explain each line of a package, from the taxable hourly wage to the housing and meals stipends, why the same job can pay differently at different agencies, how to negotiate, and how bonuses and agency-paid license fees are taxed. The pay by discipline page and the contract pay calculator show the weekly pay advertised on open contracts, by discipline, state and setting.

If you want a reading order, start here lists the pages to read first. This page answers a different question: whose numbers these are, and how far you should trust them.

Who publishes Travel Therapy Pay?

The site is published by ProTherapy Staffing, a travel therapy agency, PT-owned and operated since 2012. The footer of every page names it, and the boxes marked as coming from the publisher, near the foot of each page and in the bar along the bottom of the screen, point to its jobs and its page for facilities.

That matters more on a pay site than elsewhere, because the pay figures come from the publisher’s own job list. They describe what its open contracts advertise, not what every agency pays, and the pages say so beside the figures. Beyond the line above, the site makes no claim about the company: no size, no placement record and no names.

What is this site not?

It is not a survey of the market. The medians come from a single agency’s postings, and a median is the middle of those postings, not an offer and not your take-home pay.

It is not tax advice. The tax answers quote the IRS and link it; whether your stipends stay untaxed depends on your own tax home, which is a question for a tax professional. Nor is it a job board: it lists no individual contracts, and the job alerts page sends new ones by email instead.

And it is not a ranking. It rates no agency, names no competitor and carries no advertising from other companies. Where a page works through an example, such as dividing a contract rate between agencies with different margins, it says the numbers are illustrative.

If you want an offer of your own broken down line by line, ask a ProTherapy recruiter: Find my next contract.

Where do the pay figures and tax answers come from?

Every pay index figure on the site is the median of the weekly gross advertised on open contracts in the publisher’s job list, taken from a stored copy of that list and printed with the date the copy was taken. The pages are rendered from that copy rather than typed, so the pay by discipline page and the calculator cannot drift apart. How the pay index is computed sets out which postings are left out, how a median is rounded and what the date means.

The tax answers at the foot of the home page are quotations from the IRS publication on travel, gift and car expenses, each with its link and the date it was read. The federal rates that stipends are commonly set against come from GSA, and where a page types a GSA meals range it names the fiscal year of the rates. The newer guides are generated from a data file that lists every source with the date it was read.

How are the figures checked before they go live?

Before a release goes out, a checker recomputes each figure a page declares from the stored copy and stops the release if any of them disagrees. The figures change only when the stored copy is refreshed, a deliberate step rather than a timer, and if the date of a copy cannot be established, the pages are not rebuilt rather than stamped with a guess.

A thin slice is handled plainly too. Where too few contracts sit behind a cell to support a median, the page shows a dash, a count or a range instead, never an invented figure. The publisher’s main site explains how its checker works on its how we verify page.

Who do you contact about this site?

For an offer, use the form on any page. For anything about the site itself, such as a figure that looks wrong, a source that has changed or a question about who publishes it, call or text the business line shown on the publisher’s contact page, or send a message from the form there. Name the page, the figure and the pay data date printed beside it, so the copy it came from can be checked.

Frequently asked questions

Are the pay figures on this site a survey of all agencies?

No. They are medians of the weekly gross advertised on the publisher's own open contracts, on the date printed beside them. Read them as a single agency's postings.

Is anything on this site tax advice?

No. The tax answers quote the IRS with a link and a read date. How the rules apply to you depends on your tax home, which is a question for a tax professional.

Why can a figure here differ from the pay index on the publisher's main site?

Each prints its own date. The main site's index is built from a snapshot of the same stored copy, kept for its month, so its date can differ from the one printed here.
