Plenty of BOTH on my end, I do traditional have plenty of work, always

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'll love to know who you work for. I also work every weekend with no extra pay.
It'd be nice to get paid for all the nights and weekends I work.
Maybe is it for a particular account. I work M-F. You are required to work one weekend an month.

Yes they do send work overseas and do not hide this fact. There is plenty of work and they do pay
well. Overall, I like having work as I have been at places where you had to fight to keep busy so this works for me.
A 3-day weekend every weekend? Wouldn't that be nice. Good luck with that!..nm

no weekend work - sm
Sounds like Transcend!
There are MTs out there who are looking for weekend work...sm

I guess I don't understand your complaint with the company posting that ad.  They have a need they need to fill, and it might be the right fit for somebody. 


Weekend work...

Contact docQmed.  I am one of his clients and am always looking for weekend warriors.


 


weekend work.....
What position are you interested in?  If you do read the previous posts, just ignore them...of course they are all ex-employees who left on a bad note with the company.  If you would like you can contact me concerning a position with Shapin.
Do you still have to work every 4th weekend or is

weekend work

Are there any companies who will allow you to work both weekend days as part of a regular schedule.  I am looking for a reliable company, at leat 8.5 cpl, employee status and one where work flow is regular.  I realize there are always slow downs in this industry but searching for a company where you are not consistently running out of work. I prefer to work both Sat and Sun to allow me 2 days off during the week. I know this is unusual. I have an IC job.  Love the flexiblity but I need benefits.


weekend work
I picked a Sun-Thur schedule so I plan to work Sun after dinner, and get my weekend in first...
looking for weekend work
I would like to obtain weekend transcription. I do work a full time 40 hour weekday job and would like to pick up some weekend work. If anyone knows of any, please let me.
weekend work
I too hated the thought of working every single weekend, but I've been doing it for a year, and it has actually worked out okay. On the Sunday that I work, my husband gets to spend time with my kids, and I get an actual day to work interrupted. I don't have to work 8 hours on Sunday though, so I guess that helps. I just get up early and am done by noon. I am actually considering doing a Saturday too so that my husband can help that day also. It might not be as bad as you think. Good luck.
Weekend work
What do you find so difficult about working a weekend? I had 3 kids and worked 7 days a week.. (and still work 7 days a week!), you just adjust your schedule to what your kids are doing....most companies no longer require a set 8-4 or 9-5 type environment....Now I'm a grandmother and manage to do my job during the day and watch my granddaughter after 3 p.m....it really isn't that difficult. Look at it this way - if our normal work week was Tues to Sat, you'd be wondering how anyone could work Mon - Fri. Good luck with your juggling.
You HAVE to work a weekend day? No thanks!
I'll stick to companies who hire full-timers on M-F and part-timers for weekend work...
Do you work evenings or nights? If so TT has plenty of work
It is not that TT has no work, it is that everybody wants banker's hours. What do you expect?
Yes. You must work 1 weekend day every week. nm

If they didn't want weekend work,
I would have taken the job. But who wants weekends? That stinks.

Weekend work / 2nd line
It depends on which client they assign you to.  Our hospital is currently dial-up to both Lanier and Meditech.  However, Meditech will soon be IP connection but you will require a phone line for our Lanier as ours is not internet based/digital.
There is an abundance of work on the weekend on
several accounts and the positions being advertised are for weekend coverage. 
So you "refuse" to work a weekend day? sm
No wonder our jobs are going offshore where people are grateful to have employment. Do you think hospitals don't need reports on weekends? Get over yourself.
You volunteer to work the weekend (sm)
after having 40 hours, and only get the extra lines you type. I have never been offered incentive, OT, etc. However, I've been with company who ran out of work all the time, so, having the extra lines over the weekend helps my bottom line a lot. No complaint here. (It would be nice to have incentives over 1200 lines per day required, maybe they'll do that sometime.) My experience has been wonderful with them!
Do you have to work every weekend with Keystrokes?

This weekend work was scarce. nm

FN just e-mailed, asking me to work this weekend
how's that for having your head up your ____?
Wahhh, I have to work a weekend.....
you're sitting home on your probably ever expanding behind with a job, able to be home with your kidlets, can wear whatever unattractive outfit you want, probably don't bother with your appearance, don't have to spend money on fuel, nice clothing, lunch, etc, and still find something to complain about. Grow up, this is a REAL job that is 24/7. Take some pride in the fact that you happen to be employed and are lucky enough to be at home. Unless you're attached at the hip to the DH and kids, it shouldn't be a problem. Some companies require 1 weekend a month, if you can't bear that, find another job.
Plenty of work

OSI has plenty of work to go around...
...but since hurricane katrina hit, things have been kind of slow. I think they have a big account in Louisiana that got hit pretty hard and it shut down. Since then they have had to move MTs from that account to other accounts. I've been running a little low on work too (just every now and then), but I like OSi so I'm willing to stick it out. I'm sure everything will get back up to speed soon.
Plenty of work...sm
I don't generally post on companies I worked for because in the long run it doesn't seem like opinions matter, for some it may suck and for others it is great.  I worked for them for a couple of years and had to leave due to needing insurance.  There was always plenty of work and if you are a hard worker, you'll make money, get paid on time, etc.  The accounts were incredibly stable and extremely easy compared to acute care. 
P.S.. you have plenty of work?

Plenty of work at MDI

Hi Freebird,  I was just passing through and saw your note.


I have been with MDI-MD for a little over a year now.  The only slowdown I have ever experienced was around Christmas and New Year's.  Right now there is plenty of work on all of the hospitals that I cover. 


I have been in this business for a long time, am a former MQer, and I just love this company.  The work is not for newbie's, but if you are an experienced acute care Transcriptionist you will have no problems.  The staff at MDI-MD are professional and gracious, the platform is the best I have ever worked with, the pay is great and always on time, and the flexibility is wonderful. I wish you luck!


I do all Ops and there is plenty work available for anyone who wants just
Ops and is good at them.  
I have plenty of work.
Have you tried asking for another account?
Plenty of work

Good line rate with incentive pay and shift differential.  Good benefits.  Sick time, PTO, plenty of work.  I'm happy.  Normals are right in their platform, which is handy and helps production. 


Anyone else care to chime in?


I have plenty of work

Plenty of work.
I have plenty of work at both places I work, just would like more money. :-)
there's plenty of work to go around....
TRS does manage a group in Guyana, but they make up a TINY portion of the total reports. NO jobs have been lost in the US to employees in other countries either. There is plenty of work available and the recruiter works constantly to find qualified MT's here in the US! Why is going offshore a bad thing if it doesn't affect the workload or TRS employees in the US??
Is there plenty of work. nm
 
Plenty of work
No, there is plenty of work. But it looks as though workflow is caught up and under good control.  There is no mandatory OT, it is just optional now. 
Plenty of work here.
If my primary is out, I have plenty of secondary accounts. They are always looking for people who are willing to have multiple secondaries. It's been my experience that the more accounts you know how to do, the less you run out of work. That's why I don't mind learning new accounts or work types.
Which of these have plenty of work RIGHT NOW?
Email me if you prefer.
Plenty of work here
One huge account.  I make myself available for backup for anything and nope, I am not listing my company name
Oh well there is always plenty of work
/
SURE, THERE IS PLENTY OF WORK
On the accounts that are always backed up because they are extremely crappy accounts. You can have all of that you want, BUT, I promise you - it brings your lines per hour average WAY DOWN and not worth it. The account specifics are horrendous!!!!

As the earlier poster stated - No work at WebMedx because they OVERHIRED!!!!
I have had plenty of work...
and I love working for MDI.  Its a great company!
PLENTY OF WORK?

WOW!!!  I want to know which server you are working on because those of us that work on the Chattanooga and Virginia server are just starving for work!!!  Please tell us more!!!


By the way, it is DISKRITER....and how do you know how much work they have?


 


Plenty of work right now
I have personally never run out of work for more than a few minutes, but have only been with them for 4 months.
