What is the name of your state? California
I am traveling registered nurse and I have a contract with a company called XXXXX Nurse and to make a long story short…..I was contracted to work for at least 14 weeks and 526 hours for a hospital. Just prior to the start date, I called the hospital for my schedule and was told that I wasn’t needed.
Obviously, there is more to this story (like breaching a prior contract) but the bottom line is that I have a signed contract for at least $23,000 dollars and no work.
Below is the actually contract....
Congratulations! Your assignment at XXXXXXXXX has been extended through November 24, 2003.

If you are required to work more than 40 hours in one week, you will be compensated at a rate of $45.00 per hour for every hour worked in excess of 40 hours. You will work three, 12-hour nightshifts from 7:00pm - 7:00am. If you are sick or are unable to work, you are required to make up that time throughout the course of your assignment.
