The pay period just ended yesterday. With over 400 employees it might be difficult to get it all done by Friday but I sure am crossing my fingers!

Monday-Friday
I wish that people who get into this profession would understand that hospitals operate 24/7/365. My daughter is a registered nurse and does not demand a m-F schedule and YES she does have children. You got into this profession because of having kids at home and wanting to be a stay at home mommy. Well, 30 years of experience under my belt and most of the companies that I have spoken with allow me to work the hours that I want to work because of the fact that in general, I put in 12 hour days and even work weekends and dont take a day off unless I need to, due to illness or whatever and also, due to the fact that if I do have an emergency, I let someone know in advance and just not refuse to work
Monday-Friday, First Shift?
Does anyone know of companies that have accounts with Monday to Friday, first shift positions? Personal obligations do not allow me to work weekends or evenings and so many companies want this. If I could do it I would, but it is not possible, and they all seem to want weekends and second or third shifts. I really need to find something. Any help greatly appreciated.
Pay due Monday, I get by direct deposit on Friday. sm
Partly company, where most get on Saturday via direct deposit. I just happen to have a very friendly bank who posts the minute the get it and 1 a.m. on Friday. So sorry. We all need to get our pay on time.
Mine is always there on Friday, but Monday is payday.

Agree with you. Payday is Monday, this is the Friday..
before payday. Some people will whine about anything. As I said before, plan your finances better and you won't be relying on DD. Why don't you call payroll and whine to them, see what they tell you?
Looking for a company who hires Monday-Friday days
Does anyone know of a company who hires full time transcriptionists for Monday-Friday? I have years and years experience and am tired of working the weekends! Your help will be greatly appreciated!
Every other Monday unless the pay date is a holiday, in which case we get paid the Friday before.
Hope that helps.
It's Monday. Everyone plays catch up on Monday. Give 'em
s
Pay due Friday, still ???
I do not want to post the name of this particular company but has been on this board several times. You do your days and times and then nothing. I have bills to pay and wish the companies could get our money to us just like we are there to type their reports.
every other Friday

Every other Friday
I've been with Focus almost 2 years and the pay periods have always ended every other Friday during these 2 years.
They pay every other Friday. How hard is that
duh!
They finally did pay me Friday
Well I finally did get all my pay, minus the western union fees. But what it took me to get it was almost not worth it.
it's friday free-for-all! Hoo-ha! nm

I sent my resume on a Friday, sm
took the test over the weekend and was hired on Monday.
My Goodness! You'd think it was Friday--sm
today what with every body biting each other's heads off and getting all *snarky* over things that don't really matter. Get a grip you all, have a cold one, and mellow out! geez. some of Y'all are just LOOKIN' for an argument and if you can't get one going, you'll start one! sick *o this stuff. I think most of the people in this thread need a good long ol* fashioned *time out* in the corner!
I got mine on Friday before I started on (sm)
Monday. Had plenty of time to get it set up and get a KMV switch.
Be nice, people - it's Friday
       
Same here..I've been trying since early Friday..(sm)
I'll call Monday if I can't get in by then. It's never been down this long before.
I had Vonage Friday of last week and
I work for MDI and use Charter. I don't know if my problem was with the cable or with Vonage, but I would be at the end of a job and the Vonage phone would just cut out...sometimes staying connected, just not operational for a little bit (30-60 seconds), or worse, it would just cut off and I lost the job. The job got stuck in never-never land and I could not get it back to finish transcribing it. One job cost me almost 100 lines. So, on Tuesday I got Charter's ULD...the independent sales rep gave it to me for $15/month.
Thanks - I sent my test back Friday
so hopefully I'll hear back by the end of next week. I'm really interested in doing clinic notes so I hoping I did well enough.
P.S. He briefly told me on Friday
He specializes in this field and knows the laws of companies versus IC status. He is a long time friend of the family so it won't cost me much and well worth every penny of whatever I do have to pay.
Made decision; Friday last day
Whew! Glad that's over! :)
Thanks folks.
Out of work 15 times Friday
Has happened all week long. Think I got a total of 4 hours yesterday. My STM said we were down 750 dictation minutes for some reason this week. She had no idea why. I have 8 different accounts I pull from.
That's too bad..I was hoping you were.
To equate a business not hiring remote employees from a particular state with not hiring a particular race of people is ridiculous. You do know there are laws regarding interstate business, right? Do you think they view Californians as a race and they just don't like you so they won't hire you? You would get nowhere with a lawsuit.
They were hoping you would not
:)
I keep hoping...
I have put alot of personal investment into my primary acct. Perhaps others can just pick up a new account and go with it. I am not that way. It takes me anywhere from 3-4 months to really get to know the docs especially when they come up so infrequently that only over a long period of time can you pick them up.
But right now, I am forced to deal with multiple new accounts. Like everyone else who is there, you never overcome your learning curve to maximize production and QUALITY!
But from the few things My supervisor has said, I think it is going to get worse before it gets better. The turn around times for all reports have become so real time that I will never see any pooling of my primary.
Example: This afternoon my supervisor wanted extra people to work tonight because some reports were going to be out of turn around (I mean how can they when there less than 24 hours old?)and the number of reports in my account was 15.
That is what I am hoping.
2 years ago. I am fixing to call and hopefully things will go well. If he asks, I won't lie.
I'm hoping 3.8 will be last. I'm looking at this as
xx
I was hoping
someone would say that, since people have recently posted that we (MTs) are always being negative, but if you are stressed about how you are going to pay your bills then.....also one of them suggesting we find another job.....believe me I am trying to finish school, but it's kind of hard, because some semester I can't get the money to pay for school because you never know how the work is going to flow.........
sorry for being so,negative lol I mean realistic.....
I was hoping for that. TY!
/
Yep, it's bad. Am hoping it will ...
not last, but I can't take much more. As it is, I am living paycheck to paycheck. I couldn't even get enough work on Saturday, which is my regular day since I work Tue-Sat. I too have mult. accounts. Am looking at getting a part-time job too.
Do you think that they just overhired? Or is it everyone is feeling the crunch and upped their commitment?
That's what I was hoping to do also sm
Get up early Saturday morning, knock out my lines, and get on with my weekend 
I am hoping for better...
Just because another company's speech platform stunk doesn't mean they all do. I am going to try to think positive. I know that won't pay the bills, but I myself cannot go into it dreading the worst or I will get really depressed, and what good is that going to do?
direct deposit every 2 weeks, on Friday,
x
my check was there on Friday, it usually is on Thursday which is early
c
Do you mean in addition to your reg Friday work? When do they give it to you?
nm
They were pretty fast with my DD. Mine comes in on friday w/ DD
:)
Umm, I am paid every other Friday, on time. Work

Mine has been in the bank midnight Friday and
I have promised to pay some bills Saturday morning! I sure hope that I don't get into trouble over this. I know they say we don't get paid til Monday, but if the money has always been there before, why should we assume different! I will be in some real trouble if the money is not in the bank midnight tonight. The bills don't wait til the weekend is over the money is due now. Why would they not communicate a problem with us? Before I have a fit, I am going to assume it will be there. Why assume the worst if they did not say anything right? (she asks nervously).
I applied on Friday and received an email
on Sunday asking about my availability for an interview. I responded on Sunday with totally open availability and I have not heard anything back. What should I make of this?
The rep I spoke with on Friday mentioned 60 positions... nm

Getting afraid of waking up on Friday/Saturday
Every weekend now, a flurry of e mails how we better work the weekend or find something else. I am downright weary. What about all those times we did not have any work, or when there is no work when we are scheduled. Double standard here but not for the MT. When you say jump I need to ask how high. Sorry about this, but I am wanting to avoid my e mail come the weekend. The threats are just too much for my stomach.
Mine was deposited on Friday b/c of the holiday..
//
Mine was there Friday too. Direct Deposit (nm)?
>
No email of any kind here. Was off Friday and Saturday
not sure if I should stay up all night waiting for something or get some extra sleep!!
Thanks - I was hoping there was a quicker way
than doing them each individually. Very interested to see the difference. Probably much better at this (as far as line count/day) than I thought, huh?
Hoping someone out there has any info on SPI
Any info would be great. Do they pay on time? How are the supers? etc. etc.....
Thanks a bunch! 
Thank you LTMT!! I was hoping...
to hear good things! I am training on Thursday and I am really hoping this will be my permanent home. Thank you for giving your opinion, it is much appreciated!! Cute doggie!! Have a great day!
I am miserable there and hoping
to get out. I have never made such a low LPH. I was not aware that not being paid for spaces would hurt my production so much, but it has made a big difference. I do like their platform and it was easy to learn, but I still have bills to pay. I used to make 200 to 300 LPH with other companies, make 150 or so with this company. Also they have a program where you can look up previous reports on the same patient or examples of report types or by the same doc, but it always, freezes or goes so slow and I am stuck in my screen. I have heard from some others having this problem. It really slows me down. I am leaving as soon as I can.
OUTSTANDING - and *this* is what I was hoping for
Many people misread my tone and in all fairness tone is hard to read in an email or online.
What my main objective was in posting originally was this: do people just want to complain (justifiably) or do they want to *try* to do something about it *before it's too late*?? Assuming it isn't already too late...
I've had a few private emails and many on the board. Unfortunately, until next week I can't personally do much, but after that I'm more than happy to help an effort get started/organized.
Watch for a website which I'll start specifically for this purpose.
I have *no* idea if a union is possible or a step forward, but as long as we allow our considerable skills to be whittled down to minimum wage level, trust me, corporations will certainly try to go in that direction.
No, corporations aren't evil, per se, and they deserve to make a profit. that said, there's a difference between a profit and a killing.
Later - and HAPPY HALLOWEEN.
