    Since yesterday was Sunday, DD would have gone through this morning
    If payday falls on a weekend or a holiday, then direct deposit will go through the next business day. Mine was in my bank account last night around midnight.
    Clinic or acute care? I am looking to work 5-6 hours a day during the morning and early SM
    afternoon hours.  Which type of work is more appropriate for this kind of schedule, clinic or acute care? I really do have some time constraints outside of these hours as well as on weekends, so I need to find something where I can concentrate on working during those daytime hours.  I am a newer Transcriptionist (at this point looking for IC), and I am hoping to find a place to stay for a long time.   Any advice appreciated.   Thanks
    Sent it Sunday (by fax) then (sm)
    immediately got e-mail asking to fill out questionnaire, did that on Sunday too..then haven't heard, am I just not patient enough? Thanks! I really want to talk with them, but don't want to bug them either. Thanks for the info!
    She was my coordinator....She was there as of Sunday...

    thanking us all for the hard work with TAT! I had my last day thank goodness, my head was spinning from the revolving door of ACs, TLs, etc!


    It is Sunday, my brain's day off.

    Sunday and Monday

    I'm not on the schedule with any of them on Sunday, Monday I only work for one of them. I took the third job because it's a specialty I like and want to do more of. I'm trying to decide which direction to go in  - certainly don't want to work this much indefinitely.


    Okay, if i tested with a company Sunday and..
    I have not heard anything as of yet, am I safe to assume that they don't want me on their team?   This is a company that runs ads just about every week.  However, I have not seen an ad this week yet. 
    VR - next month starts Sunday
    VR is a reality beginning Sunday. It is no longer a rumor.
    I work both Saturday and Sunday...
    every single weekend.  I have for many years.  I have 1 child at home.  How do I do it?  I just do it.  I do a lot of things in life that aren't easy, but I get by.  I knew when I became an MT that I was entering the medical field, which does, contrary to what some people may believe, operate on a 24/7/365 schedule in most instances.  People do get sick/injured on weekends.   If you aren't satisfied with working weekends, your best bet is to find clinic work.  Then, your only complaint may be the pay, which is generally lower than acute care because the work is considered easier.  Oh, well, I guess you can't win.
    Current payperiod ends this Sunday 8/26...sm
    Payday is 9/3 (but believe that is the holiday so not sure how that works). Pay is every other week on Mondays, so the following PP will be paid on 9/17. PPs run Mon-Sun. HTH
    I received the test files Sunday
    The dictator is extremely fast and mumbles. Not worth it in my opinion. I emailed her back and politely declined after listening to the files.
    under new hire plan, Saturday/Sunday all day, 1cent more
    nm
    I work 2nd shift, and I ran out last night -- never has happened on a Sunday. nm

    The post was made on a Sunday night -- no one in the office really to ask then. sm
    And it seemed a harmless question.   He/she wasn't really asking a policy question ... just a general question regarding when the payday is.  Most companies that I have worked for, if the payday is over a weekend, they pay on Friday.  Unfortunately, that is not the case here, but at least they are upfront about it, and it says so in the paperwork somewhere.
    yes, you have a certain amount to turn in by Sunday night at midnight, but you can try and type it
    all that Friday.
    Didnt think of it cause I dont care. Wouldnt care if

    There was no work for me this morning and . . .

    that was okay. I spent more time with my 2 babies. I held my 9 1/2 month old in my arms while he struggled to stay awake and finally gave in to his sleepiness. As I type this, I am listening to my "almost 2-year-old" laying on the living room floor "watching" TV talking to herself, curled up with her blanket, and almost sleeping. It makes me smile. Just about 15 minutes ago, I snuck outside and gave my horse a carrot and she nickered a nice hello. THAT is why I'm home.


    I work for Transcend. Have been for about a 1-1/2 months. I have learned a lot and I hope to learn more. I checked my Ps and Qs before I left my in-house, cushy, very solid clinic position to work at home. I checked the money situation. (I was also lucky enough to land an IC job with a local clinic that pays .12cpl, but only comes out to $100 a week as they don't have much work for me.) I hemmed and hawed over it for 7 months before I made my decision to stay home. I will admit it, it is a little frustrating not to have work, but, there will be work later. I may never have benefits through them, I may have to marry my (not so darling...ha ha) boyfriend (the father of the two kids) in order to get health insurance....but I'll deal with it. I LOVE being at home. (BF is jealous and wants to be home to, my Dad, who is soon to be retiring, is jealous as well. Course, they're MEN and wouldn't be able to work and watch the kids, but I'll let them be jealous!)


    When I first started with transcription over 7 years ago, I never even thought of working at home, never really crossed my mind. I feel very lucky to be in a career that allows me to do both, be at home and still have a career. I'm not afraid of hard work or minor setbacks. I've put up a 1/4 mile of horse fence in 90+ degree weather, this is easy. Sure, it may come with some "bull****, and slow times, and frustrating times, but then I have a morning like I did today...(see above)...and I sigh...and smile. To each his/her own. If ya don't like the stew, get out of the pot.


    Your post was on this morning because

    Very funny. Thanks for the morning

    My, my, having a bad morning? Sheesh.
    I can't see what was so offensive about the first post.
    I had one similar this morning

    Only it was from Meditech.   Never applied there.  Letter sounded pretty similar to yours though.


    No, just out of work this morning

    Electric off this morning?
    I think they had thunderstorms this morning and maybe a tornado.  Their electric may be off.
    Sorry, Monday morning
    I could not find any posts on this company.
    Thanks, I actually have an interview in the morning. nm

    I applied this morning
    I took the test by playing and pausing. Then I went back through the dictation and filled in and corrected. I had to play each section about 4 times to finally get it all.
    My deposit was in this morning
    When did you send your line count to invoices?

    I'm not a cheerleader, I just think the good things should be mentioned as well as the bad.
    2 cpl isn't worth getting out of bed for in the morning.

    Not a single job this morning. nm

    No work this morning. nm

    Anyone have work at MDI this morning? nm
    nm
    I guess it is possible but not at the rate it went out this morning. I think if it gets a little
    LATE in terms of their LATE which is not late but well within TAT but not 1 hour it seems to disappear. My account flew out the window this morning in about 30 minutes from yesterday so I doubt it got done that fast.
    Thanks for the morning lesson on ethics.

    I love MT work... I get up in the morning
    put on a blonde wig and a tight dress, look like Anna Nicole Smith and type all day long.  And I'm not even a woman!
    Guess someone got up with an attitude this morning.

    You know, I rarely do visit this site, but when I do and I have something worthwhile to say to clarify for someone that really does have a question to answer.  I like to answer it.  One would wonder if you would be so bold if you were not afraid to use your real name and stand behind your bold statements.  There are many great MTs who really would have pertinent questions.  One person's experience with a company may not be the same experience that another MT might have.  As for my snobby nose, I think you can ask anyone that really knows me and you would find that I am probably the most caring, professional and strong advocate for the MTs that you are ever going to run across.  Thanks for your time and you have a wonderful day.


    Morning! Can any of you computer-savvy MTs tell me how to
    From another program in Word based on 65-character.  I know I saw it on here somewhere.  TIA!
    I was curious about that post this morning
    too and did a little checking. I got curious because of the middle eastern sounding name for an email address. They also had an address listed in Viena VA plus a phone number. I did a check on the area code of the provided number and it was out of North Dakota. I would not think this was a reputable place to work, if even existent. Maybe that is why post was removed.
    Another morning with no work ... sigh. nm

    I had mine this morning but let me ask about wrong
    This is my first time hearing about your pay being wrong. Give some background. Has it happened to you or someone you know? Thanks
    Yippee I actually did run out of work this morning!
    Just went on out to the garden and picked some strawberries and rhubarb and made a pie.  Let's see what other fun I can have today. The weekend is coming up and I'm betting there'll be more than plenty and no long line of people waiting to do it.
    The Intranet is down but being reset. Try again in the morning if you do not get in.
    I just called my lead in a panic, but she said not to worry as long as they are in by the 31st at midnight we are OK and if it were down then, they would take them manually. Has not happened to me in the 2 years I have been with them!
    The intranet will be down until Monday morning. sm
    The upgrade pulled the system down but it will be back up by Monday morning.
    Weird, I had work this morning and all day. sm
    I will say that if you are going to hit no work, generally it is on a Monday a.m. after payroll ended Sunday night; everyone who was short on hours during the week ends up making up time on Sunday nights and it takes a few hours for Monday's work to stockpile.

    There's a BUNCH on there now!
    Oh yes...I pulled 25 echos in a row this morning
    even though the work is always routed evenly to all MTs at my company.  Right.
    Wondered where my better dictators were when I got on at 3 a.m. this morning.
    It is really irritating when pets are put the good/best dictators in their pool and I am put the worst.  Glad you GOT your lines, because I took the beating doing what we should have been sharing, report-wise, rather than leads filling pools of their pets with the good stuff!
    Thought the same thing when I saw that this morning.
    nm
    And the first thing Monday morning sm
    the coffers are empty and you spend considerable time flexing your hours.
    I get the morning assignment from my liaison
    and never hear other than that. And I think that is great. I am here to work, not get caught up in endless e-mails.
    GOOD MORNING TO ALL OF MY FELLOW MTs
    I hope that each and every one of you have a wonderful day and that we are all capable of making our line counts or even more.  Have a great day!!!!   
    After sleeping on this, I woke up this morning
    Wondering if this is even true. How do we know? Can the statements be validated? I'm not saying it's not but this could but the ultimate knife in TTs back. I would just like to know for sure.
