About RxRelief

RxRelief is British Columbia's transparent relief pharmacy marketplace. Pharmacies post shifts with the hourly rate shown upfront, pharmacists accept in one tap, and every platform fee is clearly published.

The founding story

RxRelief was started by a practising BC pharmacist who saw how difficult it could be to find complete shift details in one place. Rates were often a negotiation instead of a number. Shifts were accepted without knowing the staffing, the script volume, or the software. And when a shift went badly, the pharmacist had no way to warn anyone.

Meanwhile owners and managers still had to chase paperwork for every new pharmacist while trying to fill urgent coverage gaps.

RxRelief was built as a marketplace where the rate is the rate, the shift details are on the card, and both sides carry a reputation.

Our mission

To make relief pharmacy work fair, transparent, and fast for both sides — so pharmacies get covered and pharmacists get paid what was posted, on time.

What makes it different

  • Rates upfront: every posting shows the hourly rate or rate range before you accept, and the confirmed rate is what lands on the invoice.
  • No hidden markups: rates are posted upfront by pharmacies, managers and coordinators.
  • Credentials reviewed: CPBC registration and insurance are submitted once, reviewed, and shown to employers instead of re-collected every shift.
  • Two-way ratings: pharmacists rate employers on management, staffing, tech support, and payment punctuality — not just the other way around.
  • Real shift detail: script volume, facility type, software, and location distance are on the card before you commit.
  • Automatic invoicing and payouts: invoices with GST are generated on completion and paid through the platform.
