How do I request an extension?

It’s always exciting when a clinician chooses to extend their assignment! To get started, simply reach out to your Advocate or send a new message to your Care Team through Inbox. Your Advocate will guide you through the extension process.

When requesting an extension, we’ll need the following details upfront:

  • Have you spoken to your manager about extending?
    (Getting verbal approval first can help speed up the process!)

  • How long would you like to extend?

  • Will you need any time off during your extension?

Facilities ask that all extension requests — including any time-off requests — be submitted together, so it’s important to confirm everything with your Advocate before we move forward.

In most cases, Trusted can request the extension on your behalf. However, some facilities have policies that limit when or how extensions can be initiated. For example:

  • Some facilities may not allow extension requests until 4–6 weeks before your current contract ends.

  • Others may require that offers come directly from the facility without us proactively reaching out.

If any of these conditions apply, your Advocate will let you know in advance!

Once we submit your extension request, it typically goes through the facility's point of contact, called a Managed Service Provider (MSP), who manages offers and extensions between Trusted and the facility. Because of this, even if your manager verbally approves your extension, we may not receive formal approval right away. Everything must first be processed through the MSP.

When we receive an official offer, your Advocate will reach out to confirm:

  • The dates offered for your extension

  • Whether your requested time off was approved

  • The pay package details

You’ll have the chance to review everything before deciding whether to accept. If you accept, a new contract will be sent to you for signature — and once you sign, congratulations, your extension is official!
