Can anyone tell me if the shift differential is for PT or is it exclusively for FT?  TIA.

shift differential
i have been asking about a shift differential for over 2 years now as i mainly work in the evenings. it's like everything else with them they are in no hurry when it's something that benefits the MT.
SHIFT DIFFERENTIAL
Webmedx pays shift differentials :)
What about shift differential?
My company does require a time sheet, but I think it's partly so they can pay your actual shift differential.

Does Keystrokes pay more for later hours?
No shift differential, but.......
Their pay rate is a little higher than most companies, and it is really easy to get a good line count there. I do anywhere between 2000-3000 lines a shift, so I am very happy and find that I don't even need a shift differential to make great money.
What is the avg cpl of 3rd shift differential?...
...seems like when I did third shift before for an MTSO the cpl differential was 0.005 or something like that.  Any info is most appreciated.
shift differential
I get 1 cent per line for 3rd shift.
shift differential
I think what the part about shift differential means that basically you do get one, but instead of it being some bonus tacked on it's automatically in your line rate, so maybe they'd offer you 8 cpl for the day shift but 8.5 for the night shift.
Which companies pay most for 3rd shift differential?
Need to make more per line.  I'm going to the highest bidder.  I have 27 years of medical transcription experience under my belt, and very quality oriented and produce 2000 lines per day.   Any bidders?
shift differential calculations
Not hard at all, I work all 3 shifts at times, so when I start second shift, I total those before going into 3rd.
shift and weekend differential - sm
Not sure why YOU didn't get this differential, but I DID - no longer though. Just goes to show how many different pay brackets there are at Transcend. So, just because your ROM doesn't know about the pay cut doesn't mean it isn't coming. I got my call last week - some are only getting them now. I hope you don't get it, but forewarned is forearmed.
10-11 cpl? I have some recent info that says they pay 9 cpl. You have a shift differential in

INDIA is what happened to shift differential.

Webmedx pays weekend and shift differential. nm

between 8.5 and 10 plus shift differential and a high hourly for training and for holidays. nm

Base rates with National incluidng shift differential. Smaller - base rate 11 cpl. nm

When I worked there you got weekend differential and even higher holiday differential
and neither were required and no pressure to work and usually there was not much work as the extra pay made the MTs come crawling out of the woodwork!
Transtech allows you to split your shift.

Transtech does have shift diff's for 2nd, 3rd,
Don't know cost of family insurance.
Employees work a specific shift at TransTech?
Or do you just have to commit to a certain number of lines per day?  An an IC with my current company, I commit to X number of lines per day, and as long as I get them done within 24 hours, I've met my commitment.  Don't want shift work, i.e. 7-3, 3-11, 11-7.  There is absolutely no flexibility in that.  Noticed in post before this that Diskriter requires a shift commitment or a split shift. 
This is true. Shift does matter. I work 2nd shift and really have not had any issues with not havi

3rd shift radiology can be like that. Feast or famine. Same with 3rd shift sm
ER work. Sometimes the doctors are too busy to dictate, so they do it at the end. Why don't you talk to them and ask about a different shift?
Ya know, even if I spend time during my shift or after that shift

it is still MY time, expected by the company, and I am not getting paid for it regardless.  I don't answer my phone while I am working, never did, never will.  What other profession, while probably punching a clock, do folks work for free?  If I worked in an office doing this, that time would be paid - say 15 minutes a day x 5 days a week at even $10/hour =   $50 a month - and it is more time spent than that to deal with the email thing and the reminders and the changes in specifics and logging in and out of 3 different accounts when primary is out of work.  GRRR. 


I don't change jobs easily either, glad you are happy where you are - but producing 1400 lines of ACCURATE text will end my career soon (and probably yours also) and then what are we all to do?  My goal is not to work more, work harder and longer hours to produce a salary I can live on.

CMT Pay Differential?
Does anyone know of any MTSOs who actually offer a pay differential for CMT status?  (Particularly part-timers and/or IC).  TIA
Differential. nm
.
Does KS pay an evening differential?

And if so, what time does it start?  Would those who work a split qualify for a differential? Or,  if you start early in the day then runs into the evening.


How about the weekend differential?
Does it bother anyone else that the new way they pay that seems to pretty much exclude everyone from getting it? Or at least so far I can't get it. They took me from a M-F shift and made me take a weekend day, which I complied with, thinking that at least I'd get the differential. Then two weeks later, they changed it to needing to work, and make your line counts, for those days. I don't know about all the other accounts, but my account usually just trickles in on weekends, and when all the transcriptionists get on there trying to make up lines or try to get the shift differential, there is no way that I am going to get my ever-harder-to-achieve line count. I'm looking at that green grass on the other side of the fence, and I've got to admit it looks pretty tasty.
I would like to see pay differential based on YOE or quality. sm
One company i worked for would bump us up a 0.01 in pay if we got over 1700 lines a day. really good incentive for me as i didn't stop til i hit that as it was my goal. shift differential for nights/weekends/holidays.

would love a step ladder for wages, say 1-yr exp make so and so, 5-yr exp so and so, etc. more pay for harder dictators. the dictators could be rated on a scale. this would help eliminate some cherrypicking as those who wanted ESLs for higher pay could have them.

Does Transcend pay a weekend differential?
I was wondering.  I just talked to the recruiter and forgot to ask.  She mentioned a shift differential  but I don't remember hearing about a weekend differential.  TIA
the only 'shift differential' they offer now is
both sat and sun. i can think of better things to do with my weekends.
Does your company pay a differential for evenings,

We get a differential at the hospital I work for
If half your hours or more are worked after 3 p.m., you get $1.50/h extra (we get paid hourly).  I work 10:30-7 (with half hour lunch) in order to get the differential.
They pay well 10 cpl days, 11 cpl 2nd shift, 12 for 3rd shift
1300 lines a day required, 65 character line. They have benefits. Don't know much else.
I have worked both 3rd shift and day shift (SM)
including what you call banker's hours (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). I ran out of work more often on 3rd than I do now on the day shift.
Not MDI, but where I work, no weekend differential, no holiday pay...
I HATE it. I've been looking for a job out of MT for a year - nothing. Your schedule includes one weekend day, and if a holiday falls on your regularly scheduled work day, TS - you get your normal line rate.
I worked for them as an IC at 9 cpl with nice weekend differential - I don't think they have bene

TransHealth also pays for production over minimum, and weekend differential. nm
 
Low pay, 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. EST shift.
Been doing this a long time, only wanted to give me 7.5 cents a line.   Guess so many people are looking, they feel they can offer such low pay.
Only 2nd and 3rd shift, though. :( nm

shift
Which shift will you be working?  First shift has to flex a LOT because of low work/no work first thing in the morning, which of course will change your schedule for the rest of the day.  I didn't run out too much on 2nd shift, but if you work Sunday evening, you might not be able to finish out the week because of low work/no work.  (They don't have the best grip on when to turn off overtime on Friday/Saturday to keep enough work around for Sunday workers. Sunday is the end of the pay week.)  Very, very nice people.  My account was very good quality dictation, normal number of ESLs.  I left just last week because I wasn't making as much as I felt I should be making with my experience.  I liked the platform, but somehow I think it interfered with real productivity. I also didn't like working full-time on 2nd shift, but knew if I asked to move to first shift I would be forever flexing.  Just wasn't a good fit for me.  Hope you are happy there & good luck! 
2nd Shift

I will be on 2nd shift 4-12.  That is my regular schedule I enjoy, and I am working Tuesday-Saturday, Sun/Mon off.  So, that should work GOOD for me.  I did read on some posts a while back that it was hard to get production .... I have 10 years experience and I applied for millions of companies.  They seemed to have the most to offer ...  Do you know how easy it is to move up to QA Editor ?  That is what I'm currently doing at Spheris.  I hate having to go back to transcription, but I only have 1 year QA experience. . .


Thanks for your info ! ! !


TT 2nd shift
Gee, thanks, for getting back on tonight and sharing in my work! Last I heard, we're supposed to work our assigned hours. Hope everyone soon has enough work.
Shift
They very CLEARLY stated in the interview that we must work the FULL 8-hour shift even if line requirements are met. It doesn't matter, with all the issues of server, their internet, and lack of work, you can't get that in less than 8 hours anyway.
That's 5 cpl for 3rd shift. nm

3rd shift
i was just offered a 3rd shift position with them as well. this is my first time on acute care, and they were willing to give this clinic MT a shot :) coffee will be my best friend!
If she needs someone for a certain shift,
then she needs to hire an employee, not an IC. I don't know how these companies keep getting away with this. Why are they not reported?
No. TransTech is out of Texas TTS is in New Hampshire. TransTech

Well I don't work for Transtech and this discussion isn't about Transtech...
and that is not age discrimination....give me a break...
No shift diff??
I've ALWAYS gotten a 2nd shift differential in Ohio...wow, that's not fair to U.
I'm just finishing my shift a second job so I
could get a decent paycheck.  MDI has been out of work for months.  Of course, if there are 3 reports on the account not typed, they have someone else come onto the account and type it so they are caught up.
