Roo’s recommended shift prices are optimized to give you the best chance of finding coverage based on market supply and demand factors like your hospital’s location, day of the week, type of veterinary work performed, and the length of the shift itself.
IMPORTANT: Applicable taxes will be added to the invoice upon shift completion.
Flexible pricing
Shift prices are flexible, and can be adjusted to fit your budget. You’ll be able to increase or decrease the price for any shift before posting.
If you’re not getting any requests, you may have priced your shift too low. Try increasing the shift price. This makes the shift more attractive, greatly increasing your chances of finding coverage.
Shift Pricing Guidance:
- Align the rate with the expected production value based on shift type, workload, and complexity.
- Balance cost-effectiveness with providing a compelling offer that attracts qualified veterinarians.
- If Vet interest is low using a lower rate and coverage is critical, you can always update the rate to increase fulfillment chances.
- Vets can propose a new rate for shifts which can provide valuable feedback on pricing. Consistent bids can serve as helpful indicators for you to proactively adjust rates to be in line with what Vets are asking for, ensuring you continue attracting top talent.
Veterinarian Rate Requests
Vets have the ability to propose new pay for shifts, offering a higher rate for their services. You can accept these rates or deny the request if the price is too high for your budget. If you’re getting a lot of these requests, it may be an indication that you’ve priced a shift too low.
If you’d like to propose a price between the Vet’s proposed pay and your original posted price without losing the shift request, please reach out to our Customer Support heroes who will contact the Vet directly to facilitate pricing negotiation.
Half-day shifts
You can adjust shift start and end times and other appointment details to bring down the cost of a shift as well.
Half-day locum shifts during busy periods are a popular way to add appointments and generate additional revenue while keeping costs low.
