F.A.Q.s
What do I do if I don’t like it at my new assignment?
Being a traveler isn’t just an adventure, it is also a commitment. Just like any job you apply for or contract you sign, you are committing your time. Fortunately, three months goes by pretty quickly. We will always discuss the details of the job prior to signing a contract, so you'll know upfront what you're getting into.
Are flights and car rentals covered with my assignment?
With most agencies, you are given a tax-free travel reimbursement. This reimbursement is given to you on your first and last paycheck of the assignment. You are able to use that reimbursement as you please (rental cars, flights, etc.). Most of our travelers will drive themselves to and from assignments, so they have their own transportation to and from work each day. Plus, how else are you going to explore your new area?
