What is temporary pharmacy staffing?

Relief pharmacists and pharmacy technicians who cover your pharmacy for a set period: a vacation, a sick call-out, a leave or the time it takes to fill an open role.

How long can temporary coverage last?

A week, a month, six months or longer. Ongoing and longer-term coverage is a core part of our work, and temp-to-perm is available when you find the right fit.

Can you promise coverage?

Nobody honestly can, because pharmacists choose the work they take. What we promise is a straight answer on whether we have someone, and a coordinator keeping you posted.

Can a temporary pharmacist or tech become permanent?

Yes. Temp-to-perm is available when you find the right fit, and we also offer permanent placement. Your coordinator explains the terms up front.

How does billing work?

You're billed for approved hours worked, invoiced on a set schedule and payable online by card or ACH. Your coordinator walks you through rates before any assignment starts.
