Locum tenens jobs through Barton Associates offer highly competitive pay (often more than a typical permanent job) based on location and medical specialty. Locum tenens providers are paid as independent contractors on a net-15 basis at an agreed-upon rate.
Because locums are independent contractors, Barton does not withhold taxes from paychecks. Working as an independent contractor may offer tax advantages, such as the ability to deduct certain expenses and healthcare insurance premiums.
