In compliance with state pay transparency laws, we disclose that the estimated weekly pay range for this role is $1,928 - $2,113. The weekly pay shown in this posting, along with related figures, reflects the lower end of this range for local candidates and higher end of this range for travel candidates. Weekly travel pay includes tax‑free stipends per IRS guidelines.

Weekly local pay is fully taxable and therefore lower due to additional employer‑paid taxes and related costs.
