Hey,, holiday spirit on Gab Board sm
Someone posted a message on her nephew needing something while in service to our country, Whoa?? I'm going there, follow me, lets keep it about our USA over there, protecting us from the "press 1's" or whatever, who are sitting on their butts collecting money. I had to stay in line yesterday while others sent money home via wire while they are collecting from us?? Hello!!!!! ON the house, not on my shift, give to the USA!!!

Saying this in a kind spirit
how can you really be surprised then if you have not been keeping up your end of the contract?
This is the true spirit of Christmas
You are a wonderful person and have the true spirit of Christmas in your heart.  I think your example will help a lot of people.  Merry Christmas!
not about sex, about falling in love with a person's spirit

He can still procreate with any woman, but if he feels urges towards men, well thats nature.


they aren't "born" that way; it is a choice. it is a spirit and
Bible says it's a sin.

same thing with the spirit of hate or violence...anyone can be affected by it if they are in the right (or should i say wrong?) environment, around influential people, etc.

how many times do we see good kids/people having done hateful/violent acts and cannot really account for it?

Bible clearly defines it as a sin and says that all sin is by choice.
Wrong. Remember the pioneer spirit. You PAY for the stupidity of others.

This is an important observation. The team spirit is hard to sustain
when it is a free for all. Yes, getting a decent paycheck is important. No one knows that better than me. But, have a relaxing enjoyable day on the job would be a real nice change.

When we were paid by the hour, prior to line counts, it was sure nice.

I wonder what occurs in India regarding this situation. I wonder if they have the same issues as the American MTs. Even in Canada, being a different country, I wonder if ethics and working as a team is stressed. In each job I have had in the last 10 years, being a part of "the team" has been stressed over and over, but this doesn't seem like good sportsmanship.

I would like to say to management that if this is the approach, why not say to the MTs that they can go in and type at any time they would like. It would then be understood and acceptable and we would all go that route. Rather than feeling somewhat unsettled by the fact that I now have to sit with no work for two hours because an MT has worked off her schedule.

The Santa's wife had written a book a few years before about a little girl who was killed and found in her basement. I have always suspected him.

Santa's House
Is anyone else getting an error message when trying to make a donation to Santa's House?  I have been getting an error page since yesterday evening.
LOL. Yep, like the Chirstmas Santa

Too funny.  I think she just wants attention and this is not the place.  I'm sorry for her situation and glad she has done something about it, but really...enough already.  Sheesh! 


She needs to learn to make some decisions on her own.  She says she is supposed to type 500 lines per day on her job....she types that many lines here on MTStars per day...telling everybody her personal business and wanting folks to feel sorry for her.


who was the Santa Claus?

Santa house?
I must be dense or blind or something, but I see nothing about a Santa house - only how many days and seconds until Christmas - and nothing to the left of it that says to post a new message. Am I supposed to see that at the top of this thread, or at the top of the main board - doesn't matter, I can't see it either place!
Secret Santa?

Is the link on this page the right link to enter? 


Thanks MTStars and Santa!
What a wonderful and fun thing you provide for us MTs.  Indeed, it is we who should be thanking you for the opportunity to come to this board and network with fellow MTs throughout the year.  I am very grateful that you are here in spite of all the grinches who try to ruin it for the rest of us all year long.  Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness and care in giving us this respite from our difficult jobs and stressful holiday season.  It is MUCH appreciated by most of us!  God bless and Merry Christmas to all of you who do the hard work of monitoring and providing this outlet for us all.
MT Stars IS Santa! sm
I love this board and gain so much from it, I cannot imagine how anyone can find fault with anything on here. Just refund their money if they don't like it!
Santa Monica
I live in Santa Monica. Although I am not in Ventura County, I would be interested to hear what you have to offer.
Thanks! I am close to Santa Barbara and will go there.
Will keep you posted. It will take six months to save up the money. The clinic in Santa Barbara is well known.

Secret Santa Question
Is the secret post usually on the Main board or one of the ones above the ------------ line?  I tried searching this morning, but don't have time to puruse all of the different boards.  I was just wondering if you could narrow it down a bit.  It's okay if you can't just thought I'd ask.  Thanks!
Santa paws - I love that! Thank you.

Oh yes, I see the Santa Maria and the Penta floatin in now..

Question for MT Stars about Santa's House
I made a donation on December 2nd to Santa's House and have not been contacted to pull from the gift bag.  I have the reference number for proof of donation.
I'm in Sili Valley too . . .Santa Clara:) nm

I want the Hyundai Santa Fe. Luxury and comfort
for a SUV. Rent one for a day or so before you buy, that way you can really tell if you like it. We usually rent something that we're thinking of buying when we go on vacation.
we have had beatiful weather here in Santa Clara
funny how the weather varies depending on what part of the Bay you live in :)

holiday day

at my company we don't get paid for holidays either...guess that is the price of being able to work at home....sucks...we can get paid by taking PTO time but I usually just work extra when I know a holiday is coming up, but frankly who wants to work during x-mas time with the hustle and bustle....


Holiday Pay

I recently began working for a service who only pays for a holiday IF you work that day (compensation of 10 cpl).  However, if you don't work that day, you don't get paid.  I am full time with all full-time benefits.  I realize production pay is entirely different than hourly, but is this common for most transcription companies?  I'm an old transcriptionist, but new to the ways of production pay.  Thanks for any input!


Holiday pay

It it a little hard for me to payfor holidays when the accounts don't pay the owner for holidays.  Wish I could for my help but just can't afford it.  I sympathize with you truly.  Guess I could pay a cheaper line rate to them year round and then be about to do it, but that does not seem fair.   It is hard in this business to offer many benefits as we do not get paid unless the work is done,  just like truck drivers, hair stylists, manicurists, etc.


 


 


No one ever has to pay you holiday pay.
It is a generous gesture but it isn't mandatory, you know.

There is no excuse for you to feel it is necessary to be paid for time not worked. If you want that, go back inhouse.

PTO is generous enough.

No, you will not get holiday pay until...
I was told that you have to be hitting your 11,000 per pay period for at least 90 days before you get holiday pay, benefits, etc. You can confirm this with the HR lady. They do pay for holidays once you get past this.
Holiday pay

I guess I should have stated that my gals are I/C's and they get 75 to 80% of what I get from the docs on a gross line.  If I charge more to the docs, they will go elsewhere.  They just type and I do all the pick up, delivery, invoicing, etc.  I  also just got hit by the city for my business license which just went up to 3.3% of GROSS receipts BEFORE any expenses.   If your business makes less than $25K you dont have to pay for a business license but if you make $1 over the 25K you have to pay on the entire amount.   So I have to pay this even on the amount that the gals make.  Am not sure I can stay in this for long.  The city is saying that all IC's that make over $25K should pay for a license. 


 


 


Do you get holiday pay?
How many of you work for companies who give holiday pay premiums or time off with pay?  Mine doesn't give either and it sucks!
Yes a Holiday
Holiday for me. 6 cents a 75-character line kind of seems a bit low, though. Was that perhaps a mistake I am wondering?

holiday
Actually, there is no solution to this problem - there are no solutions to any questions about the MT world... it's always something and I don't say that lightly.
Administrator, how do you get a gift after donating to Santa's House?

What is everyone doing for the holiday weekend? sm
We're not doing much - probably will go and see the Herbie movie at some point and of course cooking out on the grill is mandatory. 
This is ONLY because of 4th of July holiday...sm
and not unheard of in the industry. You really should call your acct mgr and ask for a secondary acct. My acct mgr has been VERY accommodating. Before long all accts will be booming again, as mine has picked up today.
I am, too, wonder if it's just because of the Labor Day holiday?

Jewish Holiday

Regular pay on a holiday? (sm)
I wouldn't do it.  No offense intended but I'm wondering how many places do that?  I've never heard of not getting 1.5 on a holiday for working?  Hey, if I could, I would give you mine since I'm not using it.  Have been an MT for a long time (16+ years) and have never and will never work a holiday for straight time.  As I mentioned when hired it was agreed I would not work holidays and I plan to stick to it. 
Is July 4th a holiday for you?
I don't think the company I work for observes this holiday.  After checking my handbook, it looks as if it is not even on the list.  We have to alternate holidays and then only have to work a half shift, so it is not so bad.  I was just checking to see if it was my holiday and was surprised to see that it is a regular day.  I'm sure I saw it when I started with them last year, but it just didn't register with me.  We had Memorial Day and will have Labor Day.  I'd rather have July 4th than either of those two holidays.  Is anyone else having to work that day as a regular day?
What you doing over the Labor Day holiday?

Well today is a holiday......
And if my memory serves me right that means low work until maybe mid-October? LOL!
