What is “paid time” and “unpaid time”?

“Paid time” starts at the scheduled Arrival Time posted for the job and ends at the completion of the shift, assuming your hygienist/assistant arrives on time.

“Unpaid time” is typically a lunch break. Most offices pay for down time and patient cancellations as Paid Time, but if you are one of the few offices that doesn’t pay temps for down time, there is a little checkbox when posting a job to indicate this.

But please note, if you check the box indicating you don’t pay for down time and/or patient cancellations, the likelihood of your posting going unfilled rises dramatically.
