- Distance rule Do I have to live a minimum distance away to get per diem?
- Taxes Is per diem paid untaxed, and what do you need from me to keep it that way?
- Hours Are the hours guaranteed in writing? What happens to my week if they drop?
- Length How long is the job, and what happens when this phase ends?
- Day one Is there a test, drug screen or orientation before I'm on the clock? What if I don't pass?
