Depends entirely on your arrangement with the employer. I have seen all 3 methods used. I think the most common for hospital based practices is payment per day of service.

I saw some ads for $1300 a day. I talked to some recruiter in FL he said they were paying $800-$900 a day if I can remember.

You do realize this is a pathology forum and not pharmacy, don't you? That screenshot is irrelevant to this discussion.

This forum is getting very interesting today. We got someone asking how to get Pathology jobs and now someone is giving us pharmacy per diem rates .

Strange times indeed.

Pay is about 1000/day for most diem. Its varies by location up to +/- 20-30% of that.

As a bar reference, it is among the lowest per diem rate of ALL medical specialties. Lower than most specialist NP jobs even.

I got a thumb downs from y2k! I just report it, man. I dont make the news. I have been told the same thing for over 10 years from different sources. Soon a 1000/day might be like making 50/day now so I am very concerned obviously.

I know a locums pathologist who makes 1000/day, and was paid the same amount at his last several gigs. n=1 but validates what was said.

The thumbs down was to the facts of the situation,not to the accuracy.
