Respiratory Therapist Per Diem Varied

A Per Diem employee is a worker who is employed on an on call or as-needed basis, rather than having a fixed schedule or guaranteed number of hours. Per diem employees may fill in for regular staff who are absent or during peak demand periods. These employees are paid a daily rate or hourly wage and do not receive employee benefits. The ideal candidate for per diem status is those that are a full-time student or someone looking for work in addition to their full-time job.
