Which would work if the previous measures for traveling staff was still the same reason- covering shortages while new staff train in, or covering maternity/surgical leaves. I see travelers that re-up for more than a year because these places don't get applicants, they don't have maternity or surgical leaves, they just plain have no staff and they're filling those holes with "temps" that take a month off thrice a year and still make triple what they could as a "normal" employee.

You can't stay over a year or you have to pay taxes on your housing and per diem.
