Only time I tend to run out is last weekend of payperiod when OT has been (sm)

In Reply to: Worried a bit too - webby2

authorized starting on Friday. Not too worried, looks like they are hiring more. Makes me think they are anticipating a new account and want to get people on and trained and ready.

This company is too good for me to give up on.

when and time cutoff of payperiod??
Say you work Saturday and the payperiod cutoff time is midnight (now the next payperiod beginning)  but your shift is not over until 3 a.m.   Is it something like this maybe.
Webmedx - don't think I get get line count in for payperiod this time. (sm)

Several days of no/low work and last weekend when usually can pick up lines there was nothing.  This weekend will be last weekend of payperiod so I don't hold any big hopes for that.


I am relatively new to Webmedx and this will be the first time I haven't hit the requirements.  Can you tell me what might happen if anything.  Thanks.


Webmedx PTO rate of 1.08 hours per payperiod and only for Full-time Employees
Webmedx only gives PTO and insurance to full-time employees.  No PTO for the first 3 months, then something like 1.08 hours per pay period, starting at 0.  If they run out of work or your ISP goes down or your child gets sick and you cannot get in the full 35 hours to qualify for full-time, they want you to use your PTO to make sure your hours add up to 35 that week.  If you fall below 35 hours for 3 months in a row, no matter what the reason, they automatically drop you to part-time and take away your insurance.  Then, you have to work a minimum of 35 hours for the next 3 months before you will be eligible for insurance again.  As far as holidays, if the holiday falls on your scheduled work day, you have to work, unless you ask for it off in advance, but they do pay you for 8 hours of holiday at your normal rate, in addition to any lines you type that day. 
Payperiod ... 2 wks....6K lines/week or 12K payperiod.

Does anyone know if Futurenet hires part time weekend work? (nm)

A 3-day weekend every weekend? Wouldn't that be nice. Good luck with that!..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.
Per payperiod. (nm)

I bet you made more than $42 last payperiod.

So we know it's worse out there than what we have it. 


End of payperiod? Good Lord


12000 lines per payperiod

What is their payperiod -- 2 weeks or bimonthly?


Tend to agree.
Their platform is not very user friendly.  They do pay on time though and their line rate was pretty fair.  They switched the original agreed upon schedule on me since there was no work on one particular day that I was scheduled, but if you are flexible, that might not bother you.  Good luck. 
Thanks! I think I tend to be fair
and what this and other MTSOs are not realizing is that much if not all critism here is not meant as an UNfair attack. It's a vent board for one thing. :)

What galls me are the MTSOs who won't discuss the problems *before* you quit, much less take responsibility for true problems, but then want to protest when they see negatives posted...

There's an old saying about a shoe and what to do if it fits...

:)

tend to agree
No company is perfect. Been at Transcend since August, and they have been fair to me and I do have plenty of work and I do work on a cardiology account exclusively.
Tend to agree with you on the
micromanage bit and flexing time. Sometimes have to check your computer for 24 hours straight to find enough work.
I tend to agree with you. nm

It is great to work at home and take care of you kids....I do. But that is NOT why I got into MT. That is a problem nowadays...people only get into MT to work at home and/or take care of their kids. Not everyone is cut out for MT and it is showing with this type of mentality and the quality that comes along :(
I tend to agree, especially
Since we are not employees but are independently contracted. Technically I would think that makes a huge difference. I'm sure the referred to lists are management, technical support, things like that. I would assume as ICs we fall into a separate category.

I'm sure there's another list with the names of the MTs dealt with in another section of this deal, that our contracts are in effect until January 2010 and then it's up to Transcend to keep us or can us at their discretion.
No. You have a line count to maintain per payperiod.
A proposed schedule is asked. Hours are not monitored for SEs.
pay 7 days following payperiod end: 15th/30 or 31st

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 agree, I think we all tend to be brainwashed
into thinking we are worth nothing and the Nationals CEOs, etc., deserve vacation homes, limosines, high priced cars, etc, and we deserve no raises, decreased rates as soon as they put their minds on how to do it. I have had personally a decrease every year, but my rent goes up, utilities, groceries. Even a good platform doesn't matter if the managers cream the good dictation for their quotas and leave junk for the rest of us. You can't tell me every hospital in America is 90% ESL, and bad ones at that, yet that is what they tell us. They do it because they can!
Ah, yes..... as so many things on this board tend to do!
Maybe we should start a new, underground-ish, no-holds barred MT site where a person can speak their mind without fear of erasure!
TTer's tend to get a bit bent when they

the employee plus spouse (not the family plan) is 145 a payperiod.
.
Not to sound paranoid, but I tend to agree.
They control the work pools and can make your day as easy or as hard as they like. Before I asked why I was being switched around all the time, the line count was at least achievable. Afterwards, perhaps as my punishment, it became even worse. All different account specifics, all parts of the country, thousands of different doctors. Finally gave up. I took my 6 years of acute care and went somewhere else.
I tend to agree. Seems to have a short fuse. sm
Another reason to be happy I'm working at home -- no explosions from bosses OR co-workers to endure. 
holidays do tend to reduce work loads.
When the account i was given had shortage of work, i asked for and received another account. I almost never have a shortage of work now.
Thanks for explaining. I tend to be a bit technically challenged in that area. sm
If I ever get a life, I might give it a try.  Somehow a picture of an old woman hunched over her keyboard, listing hobbies as eat, sleep,and work, probably is not newsworthy  .. LOL. 
I can do that as I expect a lot of places are holding off hiring now because work does tend to get a
little slow at this time of the year.  I can manage with what I have until January. 
12K lines payperiod is 6K lines a week.

THE WEEKEND IS HERE

Is everybody working this weekend. We need everyone to be working because THERE IS NO WORK.


1 weekend day is okay, but
requiring both is a little much. No matter what schedule I work, usually with 1 weekend day, I get pestered to work all 7, or to do 2 or 3 hours over the 8 to 10 I did already. Some of these companies would have no problem having you sit at your keyboard with an an IV bag attached to you. :)~
I weekend
I am not surprised at all.
I can and I will this weekend....
You can send me one too....let me know how it's going so far.
Is it usually weekend OT -- sm
or weekday OT or a combination?
Weekend
If there is a shift differential, that is news to me.  I do not receive anything for nights or weekends other than regular pay.  Maybe it is something for new hires only??
Weekend usually seems better.
It always seems like Friday and Saturday are busy. Maybe everyone can make up some lines. I've had an okay week. Ran out of work here and there. I am just getting nervous as we approach holiday season and the hiring of the new employees. I am looking for a 2nd job right now.
no weekend work - sm
Sounds like Transcend!
weekend woes
Do all these nationals expect weekend work every stinking weekend? As a reward for working all our hours during the week? Is anyone else sick of working constantly and never feeling they can take off a weekend without guilt??? Do these supervisors, managers work every stinking weekend too? I doubt it. The thing that stinks about working from home is that you are always working.....can't get a day off...anyone else sick of this???
I understand weekend help is necessary, both I just
nm
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. 


There would be no weekend TV, movies,
bars, etc., for entertainment. Might be a good way for families to learn to communicate again, though.
Weekend work...

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


 


THANKS!!!!!! Have a great weekend!

Weekend requirement
Is any two weekend days per month. Friday PM shift also counts as a weekend.
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.
Regarding their ER/Weekend Ad on Job Board.
Wonder if they still provide the computer and all those benefits for the 24 hour week?  Anyone do this currently or know?  Thanks!
Do you still have to work every 4th weekend or is
