Question re work/making up time/PT

For those who have run out of work, have you been required to make up the time during the same week or same pay period? If you are PT, have you had to make up the time or is it optional?
Thanks.

Making up time with WMX? (sm)
I have an E-mail into my STM but have not yet received a response. When work is low and you need to Flex, does that mean you are supposed to pretty much go in whenever there is work and nab some lines, even if this infringes on another person's schedule?
Also, if we don't get the lines/hours we need, are we allowed to use PTO or do we get in trouble for not making our quotas?
Appreciate the info.
TIme it to see what you are making per hour. Bet you

Making up time at TT question. (sm)
Is it like MQ that you can only make up lines on the weekend or some evenings and then have to have prior approval by your supervisor to do so?
Do I need to ask my supervisor this or is there a standard on making up lines when the work is lower?
Okay, guys, it decision-making time...
Yeah I know. Bummer. Decision making is not one of my favorite pastimes.
I got an offer from MDI-MD. Very tempting. Pros and cons, but overall company appears solid. Liked the recruiter. Lots of longevity in the company which was a plus.
Okay, here we go...Yea or Nay. Presently an MQ'er.
Thanks.

Axolotl - anyone ever had a very hard time making ..... SM
the required line count per day? I have been plenty long enough to be making the line count all the time, but for some reason, I have never quite gotten there - at least consistently. Now, I am not the fastest MT anymore, but I have always been able to do more than a minimum such as 1200 lpd. I like the company (not the accounts so much, though), but this has made me seriously doubt my ability to produce. Just wondering if anyone else has been in this situation and then left and did better line-wise,,,,if so, where? TIA.
Doing VR, working part time and making
at least $500 per week. That is for 4 day week.
I love putting my counts in, because I can see what I am making at any given time
The system will calculate your pay and it is really neat. My last company just paid me from counts they obtained from the hospital and I had no way to check it. It takes 3 minutes (or less) to enter the line counts and it has made a big difference to me.
Transcend is a great company, I have seen (and been with) a lot of bad ones. I consider Time Trax to be an advantage over the rest.
How do you get paid now - do you trust your company to tell you your lines?
I had a hard time making money. Nice people though! nm

As below, they do to full time people making 900 dollars per pay period. nm

I am curious about the amount of money I am making at this time. I make around $700 every week and
I am wondering if this is average or if I am selling myself short as an IC.
Your puter should ask you Sun. morning about making the time change. Just follow the 'custom'

Thank you! I'm looking for part-time work to supplement my no-work full-time job.
Where do you work making all those lines?
nm
My company was making us work OT too. After about
3 months and many of us burned out big time they found a solution - send the work to India. That worked great for a while until they saw $$, forget about how bad the work was, so they sent more work to India. The client was lied to about the work going to India and were extremely unhappy with the quality of the work and my company last the account and I lost my job.
I'm making 9.5 for clinic work

Any tricks on making your hours when there's no work? sm
If so, please share. Feel free to share tips on making your BILLS, too, when there's no income.
Seriously, do you work off hours to make up the difference?
thanks much.
If you're making yourself sick over no work
why not get another job instead of complaining about no work all the time? No job is worth getting stressed and sick over it.
Don't forget, TT is not the only company that has low/no work. Haven't you read the other posts on the other companies or do you just concentrate on putting TT down all the time?
Find another job, leave TT if it makes you so sick.
Does anyone work for NEMT making their hourly wage?
Doing editing? Anymore information?
I'm lookin for part-time work (about 3-4 hrs daily) after 13 years of full-time, anyone know of a
company that is hiring flexible part-time? I'm starting a career in real estate but don't want to totally quit transcription, but I think most places require 25 hours a week and I cant work weekends, as real estate sales are the biggest on the weekend with open houses and people off work to shows homes to. If you know of a place I'd sure appreciate the info. Thanks!
good people who all go to Hawaii while making you work every weekend. nm

YOu had a bad experience with Phoenix MedCom because you kept making so many errors that your work
couldn't stand on its own. They made threats because a doctor complained about your work week after week. They paid you experienced rates and it wasn't fair to others who could do the job without needing every single line proofed. Doctors refused to have you on their account and you almost cost them one. I am the QA person and I know who you are, and the unprofessional work that you did and your unprofessional behavior. Why malign a good company? Why not just accept it wasn't for you and walk away with some dignity. THey allowed you to do that. Leave them alone.Move on and see if there's somewhere out there that will accept your shoddy work.
i work 3 part-time jobs now. it can be confusing if you are learning both at the same time, but sm
other than that not a problem for me. best to get one down before starting to other or you might become overwhelmed.
Ugh - well I did all my work on time and I expect to be paid on time.
The phone company doesn't wait, the cable company doesn't wait, and the electric company doesn't wait for their money either - all of which I need to pay in order to do my job. I work when I am supposed to, I help when behind, and give 110%, and I ask for my check to be on time.
I think if an MTSO is going to have to mail checks they should do so priority to make up for the delay.
Full time but no work half the time-nm

Part-time MT getting full-time work ??????
TransTech should not be giving out work to PT people on their DAY OFF, or any other time BEFORE a full-time MT has enough work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok - here ya go. I went from making $1800 per pay period to making just under $900.
Is that significant enough for you? Believe us, we are not just being negative with a grudge or anything like that. This is real! A month later, I was gone from there fast!
Yes, but there is play time and there is work time. sm
You volunteer. Awesome!! As long as you are volunteering during nonwork time that is great or during time that you have scheduled to be off. Again all great!!! We all have to take off with our kids when they are sick. Did it today as I had both at home and took PTO time for it. If you do these things in this manner, no big deal, but I am talking about the ones who constantly do not showw up for work and have excuses as there are more of them than there are of people who actualy take this job seriously.
As far as retirment from the other poster.... please. I am nowhere even close but I can say the downfall of this business is NOT because it is going overseas. It is because we do not have well trained American MTs. I have been here for 18 years. I have watched it go down. It is sad but we can't change it YET!
Pay is always on time, direct deposit, very nice management to work with, and DQS platform, work
load normally busy, but low now because of the summer slow down on my accounts. Sound an issue on some accounts, but not others. Overall, wonderful company.
No PTO for part-time. Not sure if you can work part-time or not since recent rule change. sm
You do pay a deposit for their equipment.
I'm with them. Good work environment, easy accounts and I'm making really good money. nm
I'm part-time and don't have to work all weekend. I work Tues-Sat.
I've never heard that from Chronicle, of course I didn't see the ad.
I have 4 accounts, doing all work types, and I usually have enough work but this is the slow time of
year so we are scrambling a little for lines. Easy platform, paychecks DD, always on time.
Is it a nice place to work and did you have work all the time. nm

Come to work for me then if you are 100% all the time.

I see other MT's work all the time (m)
On one of my accounts I am able to pull up old reports on a patient. I do it often if I can't understand something or have a question about something in the report I'm typing, as I can often find the info in the patient's old records, H&P for the current admission, etc. We are told to do this by the company.
If the real problem is the violation or the attitude, then they need to say that. What benefit is there in complaining about an MT's punctuation when the real issue is something totally different?
no work down time
I just wanted to point out that Diskriter very recently changed their down time policy. They no longer pay for No Work downtime. They also reduced the pay rate for down time pay due to their technical issues. (This is for a regular Diskriter employee, not a hospital employee.) The good news is that there is almost NEVER no work. That is what makes me happiest about Diskriter. Their pay is not the best, but if you stay focused, the hourly rate is still very good when you are not switching accounts constantly to try to find work. They leave you alone to get your work done, too. They don't pester you constantly.
I would definitely work a time at the new job
before making the decision to give notice at the other one. Believe me, the grass is not always greener on the other side. It will mean a lot of work in the beginning but could save you big time in the end if the job is not what you think it will be.
Same here, run out of work all the time
I am getting ready to go on a vacation but when I get back I am going to ask for more back up accounts! I am relatively new with TT, when you run out of work, do up make up the lost time? I really do not have any other time to make up for lack of work as I have another job. Just curious
They are out of work all the time.s/m
Missing over 30 hours this pay period.
No I do not. Not enough work at the time I was there. sm
However, things may have changed and they may have added a few accounts.
I do know some work was subcontracted from other MTSOs and a lot of it was eScription.
The pay was 9 cpl straight and 4.5 cpl editing. I was there about 2-1/2 years ago.
Sorry I don't have more recent info for you.
Part-time and still never enough work. nm

Looking for part-time IC work..
Are there any companies out there that have part-time work available and will just leave you alone and let you do the work? I produce client-ready material and really need very little attention :) I already work as an employee with one company and an IC with another. I'm starting to feel uneasy with my current IC position and am just hoping that there is a company out there that will allow me to do the work without feeling the need to micromanage?
Part-time ER work?
Hoping someone can help me out. I work full-time already in acute care and would like to find a flexible part-time job. Benefits aren't important to me since my full-time job takes care of that, so a great line rate is mainly what I'm looking for. I have 5 years of acute care experience, and am mainly wanting ER work for a part-time job.
Any suggestions?
Sounds like the one I work for that just can't seem to get it in there on time for DD. sm
Always an excuse.
How is JLG to work for part time ?
I may be going with them and would like any input, good or bad, on how the company is to work for. I'll only be part time but it's important that I have enough work so I can pay the wonderful creditors that I owe my life to. TIA 
part time work
I picked up some part time work by calling some of the smaller local companies. They often pay better than the large cos and you can almost ways be an IC with them and work very flexible hours. Just a thought!
