Expected worker pay
10. This is calculated by the pay/hour you entered X total shift hours you list in the shift posting, and is the amount that employers are responsible for paying to the worker directly. In the example above, the shift pay of $100/hour x 9 hours (8:30am - 5:30pm) = $900 total worker pay.
Shift booking fee
11. This is $15/hour booked for DVMs, and $3/hour for non-DVMs. This is the only fee you are paying to Hound, which is charged when a worker confirms and books the shift. In the example above, the shift booking fee of $15/hour for DVM shifts x 9 hours (8:30am - 5:30pm) = $135 shift booking fee.
Total expected cost
12. After you've entered the shift hours, the booking fees and expected worker pay will automatically be calculated in the left hand green bar. This is simply the expected worker pay + shift booking fee, and is meant as a guideline only. In the example above, $900 total worker pay + $135 shift booking fee = $1,035 total expected cost.
