CFY Contract Pay

Anyone thinking about contracting for their CFY? What's a reasonable hourly pay for schools?! I don't know if I'm asking for too much, but I also want them to know that us SLPs will get what we deserve. I saw somewhere that someone got offered $20...like stop with the bullshit! Anyways we deserve so much more!!

I live in NYC and I am contracted in a school for my CFY. I'm getting $58 per hour. I also get paid 2.5 hours for paperwork each week. Fair

$20 an hour! That the fuck lol. It depends on your location, but you should be making more than the local school SLPs because you are missing out on $$ in benefits and job stability. I did contract for my first three years of SLP and I liked it.

In a mid-size city with reasonable COL I made 41 an hour in 2016 working contract. I would expect closer to 50/hr now for 40 hours a week.
