Many of our travel assignments include completion incentives up to $6,000, depending on the client and duration of the assignment.
Favorite can assist you with your travel expenses to ensure that you enjoy a comfortable journey to your travel assignment.
Continuing Education Reimbursement
Up to $100 per calendar year is offered for continuing education. A certificate of successful completion of the course and documentation of the amount paid for the course must be provided. Many local branches offer free or discounted CPR classes monthly. Certain conditions apply. For more information, contact your local branch office. For a list of CEU providers, click here.
The Tax Savings Plan is an employee benefit plan whereby you can redirect a portion of your pay to cover certain allowable child and dependent care expenses (e.g., day-care centers, home-base day-care, babysitters) on a tax-free basis.
As an employee of Favorite, you may contribute up to $5,000 per year under this program. You may join at time of hire or during an annual open enrollment period (usually early December).
Your contributions will be deducted from your pay and held in an account with the Tax Savings Plan administrator. When you incur an eligible expense, you will pay for it directly and then send a copy of the receipt and a claim form directly to the administrator, who will send you a tax free reimbursement. You can even choose to have reimbursements deposited into your bank account using direct deposit.
Additional information is available from your branch office.
Favorite is concerned about your health and well-being and offers a free vaccination program to reduce the spread of the Hepatitis B virus.
You may enroll in this program upon hire or any other time during your employment with Favorite. The program consists of three separate inoculations given at varying intervals.
To receive this benefit you must be an active nursing employee and complete our mandatory training on the Universal Precautions and pass a written OSHA Blood borne Pathogen Exam.
Please contact your local branch now to complete the necessary training and shift requirements. Once completed, you should ask your branch representative to complete a Voucher Request for Hepatitis B Vaccination on your behalf. Upon receipt of verification that you have met the above requirements, you will receive instructions and a voucher for each inoculation.
Direct Deposit and Payroll Card
By enrolling in Direct Deposit or Payroll Card, your pay arrives in your account on the day you're scheduled to be paid and is immediately available for withdrawal. No longer are you forced to rely on the postal service to deliver your money, wait for the bank to credit your check, or pay the high fees of check cashing companies. Click here for a direct deposit enrollment form. Simply complete the form and return it to your local branch office.
Don't have a bank account? Not to worry. The Payroll Card is designed just for you! The Payroll Card is a service of Commerce Bank, made available through Favorite Healthcare Staffing, which will allow you to access your pay through ATMs throughout the country. There is no charge for enrollment or monthly maintenance of the account, but a small fee applies to withdrawals and purchases. Individuals who wish to enroll in this service should complete an application. Click here for a Payroll Card application form. Please complete the form and return it to your local branch office, or mail it to:
