Athletic Trainer Fees on Go4
Learn what fees, if any, Athletic Trainers pay to use Go4 and how compensation is processed through the platform.
Go4 was built to help Athletic Trainers find work, get paid quickly, and spend less time worrying about paperwork and payment collection.
There are no fees to create an account, maintain an account, browse jobs, or apply for opportunities on Go4.
As of January 1, 2025, Go4 also eliminated the 3% payment processing fee previously charged to Athletic Trainers, allowing providers to receive the full compensation amount posted on the shift.
100% of Your Earnings
Athletic Trainers now receive 100% of the compensation rate posted on the shift.
The amount displayed in the job posting is the amount you earn for successfully working the shift.
Creating and Maintaining an Account
There is no cost to:
- Create a Go4 account
- Maintain an active account
- Upload credentials
- Browse opportunities
- Apply to jobs
- Receive direct deposits
Athletic Trainers can use Go4 completely free of charge until they begin working shifts—and even then, there are no platform fees deducted from their compensation.
Payment Processing
Payments are securely processed through Go4's payment platform and deposited directly into your connected bank account.
Athletic Trainers receive the full compensation amount posted on the shift after services have been rendered and payment processing is complete.
Why Did Go4 Remove the 3% Processing Fee?
Go4 removed the payment processing fee to further invest in Athletic Trainers and ensure providers receive the full value of the opportunities they work.
This change allows Athletic Trainers to keep 100% of their earnings while organizations continue to pay Go4's service fee separately for access to the platform, marketplace, payment infrastructure, EAP generation, EMR tools, and hiring workflows.
The Shift Sum Is Your Pay
Unlike previous years, Go4 no longer deducts a payment processing fee from Athletic Trainer earnings.

Athletic Trainers are not responsible for these costs and receive the full compensation amount posted by the organization.
