Are Parking Fees Reimbursed?

🚗 Are Parking Fees Reimbursed?

Short answer:
Parking fees are not covered unless the shift details explicitly state that parking reimbursement is included.

How Parking Fees Work

• Standard policy: Relief Buddy does not reimburse for parking costs.

• Exceptions: If a practice chooses to cover parking expenses, this will be clearly indicated in the shift posting under the travel allowance or additional details section.

• Responsibility: Unless explicitly stated, parking charges (e.g., hospital garages, downtown meters, private lots) are the worker’s responsibility.

Why This Policy Exists

Relief Buddy’s platform is designed to connect healthcare professionals with practices. Each practice sets its own compensation, travel allowances, and additional benefits. Because parking costs vary widely by city, region, and facility, they are not included by default.

Example Scenarios

• ✅ Covered: A shift posting states: “Travel allowance + parking reimbursement up to $20/day.”

• ❌ Not covered: A shift posting does not mention parking. In this case, you are responsible for any parking costs.

In Summary

• Parking fees are not reimbursed unless explicitly stated in the shift details.

• Always review the shift posting carefully to confirm whether parking coverage is offered.

• If coverage is not listed, you should plan for parking costs as part of your personal expenses.
