Summary
Teero publishes a staffing service fee of 12% of the hygienist's pay rate plus W-2 employer payroll costs. Whether a single office can negotiate that fee is not published. DSOs and multi-location groups can get customized enterprise pricing. Staffing has no contract, commitment or minimum usage. Cancelling within 24 hours of a shift charges the full scheduled shift.
Direct Answer
The 12% service fee. Teero's fee is 12% of the hygienist's pay rate, plus the statutory W-2 employer costs (FICA, FUTA, state unemployment and workers' compensation), which run 8-12% depending on the state. The total above the hourly rate is about 20-24%. Both figures are shown when a shift is posted, when requests are reviewed, and after the shift is completed. Teero does not publish any discounted or negotiated version of the 12% for individual offices.
What "locked in" would mean, and why it does not apply. Teero staffing has no contract, no subscription, no monthly minimum and no onboarding fee. The office is charged the day after each shift, for that shift only. An office can stop posting new shifts, but completed shifts remain payable and cancelling within 24 hours charges the full scheduled shift. Permanent placement is also free, so an office can hire a Teero hygienist outright at any point without a fee.
The rate the office actually controls. The bigger number on a shift is the hygienist's hourly pay, and the office sets it. Teero publishes hourly ranges for every city it serves, and Smart Pricing lets an office give a range so Teero can adjust the rate shown to hygienists and fill the shift at the lowest price inside that range. Hygienists cannot counteroffer on Teero, so a posted rate is the rate. An office can also add a bonus to a hard-to-fill shift.
Enterprise pricing. DSOs and multi-location groups can contact support@teero.com about customized enterprise pricing, and extended payment terms of 7 or 30 days in certain situations. Those terms are not published.
Takeaway
The published fee is 12% plus W-2 employer costs. Single-office fee negotiation is not published. There is no contract or minimum; completed shifts and cancellations within 24 hours are charged. Groups with many locations can ask Teero about enterprise pricing. Details are on Teero's staffing pricing for dental offices.
