How this pay compares
This assignment posts $1,836 a week, the agency's gross: a taxable hourly rate plus housing and meal stipends. Open travel occupational therapist assignments post a median of $2,220 a week, the middle half $1,969 to $2,390, across 430 assignments, so this one is below the middle half of what they post. Staff pay is hourly and carries no stipends, so it is not set beside it.

For a Florida license, apply to the Florida Board of Occupational Therapy Practice (Department of Health) for a license by endorsement ($180, by its own page): what Florida asks.
