How much will I be paid to travel as a SLP?

03. Depends on various factors such as the job, destination, facility, and agency you work with. You will also want to check if sites and job boards that promote weekly pay either display the pay before or after taxes and include or exclude travel and housing stipends. These variables affect what your take-home pay could be and could potentially vary from the number promoted on the job post. Now of course we are biased, but we believe our company not only meets the needs of our travelers but exceeds them consistently.
