Which companies pay for holidays -- not working the holiday but OFF

I'm talking like the office (in-house employees) do -- LIKE LOCKING THE DOORS -- want to lock my at-home office door and know that I am GETTING PAID for the holiday as I lock the door behind me and enjoy the day off as my fellow in-house office employees do.  


I understand keeping a skeleton crew of at-home MT's working the holidays, but we should be paid for those holidays just as the in-house employees get paid for those and don't have to worry, but go home and enjoy the holiday.  What is the reason behind management's thinking on this??  Just because they know the in-house people face-to-face, does not mean that we at-home employees of whom they have never seen our face, should not get paid for holidays.  I think the in-office employees should wear our shoes for a year (working ALL holidays WITHOUT PAY) and see how they feel about the subject.  I can assure they would be pressing management to make a policy change in a HURRY. 


There's plenty of work. Hope you like working every weekend and holiday. nm

Busier than ever what with vacations and all

Right, I'm Enterprise. On our side, vacations aren't the reason for 0 work.
Good luck to us all.
if you had to pick one; medscribe or CyMed .. who and why would you pick em? considering both

Don't mean to butt in ....
When I got mine this past summer, the gal at Wal-Mart gladly set the whole thing up for me and I went and shopped.  I had to give her information in order to do so, but since I didn't (and still don't) want to spend time trying to figure it out, her willingness to do it was very much appreciated.
Wow. That's really beat. There's a butt for

Or - there is a seat for every butt! nm

Also I was the one who said butt kisser
to Teresa's post and I thought she was quite smug as well. One should not think that what is happening to others cannot happen to them. For someone (Teresa) who acts like they have a team attitude, you certainly do not. I do not want to read e-mails sent out from DRC managers saying that they understand people may have a financial issue with lack of work. I do not want other MTs sitting around stressing out and having a hard time.
butt in but trying not to be rude (NM)

Oh, god... not the 'NUT-BUTT' again.

SO WHO GIVES A RODENT'S BUTT IF ...sm

the MTSOs or Suits cruise these boards??   Or have we forgotten WHAT COUNTRY ARE WE LIVING IN, ANYWAY?  They don't like us networking with each other?  TOUGH!  That's just tooooo baaad; OK with me if they like it, OK with me too if they don't like it.


Of course, THEY know that WE know that they're ------g us left, right and around - naturally DON'T WANT US COMPARING NOTES - sure, keep the dimwitted MTs isolated, so we can figure out a few more ways to keep exploiting them.  Don't want them comparing notes, though, because a little light might go off in their brain, and they'll tell each other, Hey, that's not right, let's do something about it.  That's the last thing they want ... for us to unite.  Decades ago, labor union opponents (i.e., Suits) found out the hard way that THERE'S STRENGTH IN NUMBERS & IN UNITY.  Because once we MTs start becoming more proactive regarding our rights, watch out, MTSO's!  


If you never even worked for MDI, butt

I don't care for crack (especially butt) either. nm

bird in the hand my butt sm
Do you call working for $5 an hour a bird in the hand? I was trying to be nice and give notice. I'm thrilled they said no. Now I can do whatever.......but not work as a slave. That is below minimum wage.
Gotta butt in here! Yes, the sound quality
is poor and it is the platform. I too left Transcend with the sound one issue.

I work as an IC also and the sound was excellent on my other accounts. So, it was not the sound card.

You have no affiliation with this company, so why would you even comment. The experiences of these MTs is real. I know, I've been there.

Also, what you are recruited for is not always what you get - been down that road with them also.

Very bad experience with that company and will never go back, ever!
Yeah...well, this butt wouldn't go in that seat!

Yes, she has her nose up Amit Chattergee's butt big time.
I have proof that she offshores.  I also have correspondence where she deals with Amit, owner of MTIndia.
As you can guess, I've been the butt of many Polish jokes - LOL

Not happy about WMX changes, but I have to get my butt busy and type today. (sm)

Yesterday I spent waaaaaay too much time on these boards and not enough time on the keys. 


Will catch up on lunch and after shift.  Can't give it up totally you know.


Good luck to all  of us in the industry.  What is good today may be crap tomorrow.  We just never know.


Take your pick..lol.
I was wondering, was Proscript the place that did not pay for macros? There was 1 company I worked for that had loads of macros but you did not get paid for them.
And they pick up dog-poo, too.

Can you pick up?
I am still in the hiring process but very hopeful. I live within 3 miles of the JLG office, does anyone know if they allow employees to pick up their checks from the office? This would not be a deal breaker for me because I would just be grateful to work for them, but it is a concern nonetheless especially because I bank out of state.
You cannot pick and choose
I don't know how you think you can pick and choose. You get the jobs assigned to you by the queue managers. You cannot even see what jobs are available.

SS has been a terrific company for me. I too stick to schedule but at times have to flex because of kids, etc. and they do not have a problem with that from time to time.

you can pick from 3 different shifts
10-6, 11-7 or 12-8 and I believe you have to work Tues-Sat or Sun-Thurs. You type and get paid hourly, but you have to do a minimum of 1000 lines a day. That's about it in a nutshell.
They paid to have UPS come pick up
the equipment, but they ignored numerous emails from me and I then got a threatening letter about suing me for not returning their equipment. There was a delay in the final pay. No exit interview. I was civilized, however, A was not.
This is why MTs "cherry-pick"! nm
S
the one I was on, you had to pick from the unassigned ones
nm
What do you mean by pick from the unassigned ones? nm

KS does not pick the platforms...
that the facilities they contract with use. Those platforms and their requirements, like ULLD, are almost always in place when KS contracts with them. I hear MTs get upset about C-phones and why any MTSO would use them but the MTSO is going with what the facility wants/has been using. These platforms are network-wide for some very large health networks sometimes, and they can be reluctant to pull the plug on one that has served them well for sometimes a very long time...not to mention the costs involved.
WILL BE ABLE TO CHERRY-PICK - sm

to your heart's content, if that's your choice and you are fortunate enough to get the kind of Lead job where you have control of work flow & distribution, as they do in my company.  As bad as the Q may have been in some important areas, I always got my lines.  Work was allowed to self-distribute naturally ...THE NEXT FREE MT GOT THE NEXT AVAILABLE JOB.  We had 1 supervisor, not 2 dozen people we had to answer to, as today's top-heavys. 


But as long as the same person who assigns/distributes the work (Leads) also types on the accounts & has FIRST CHOICE of jobs -- well, where does leave the rest of us??  With 101% $---t, that's what!  That and being salaried, too!  I'd be a Lead for HALF of the little they're paying us now and I bet I'd get more done if the playing field between Leads and peon MTs were evened out a little.


so pick up your own accounts, get 5 sm
people and see how well you do. The headache of listening to whining, complaining MTs is not worth it! Granted there are MTSOs making tons of money and yes some are scr****g their employees/ICs. But, if you think running a business and putting up with all of it is a piece of cake, you are sadly mistaken!
If you pick one up and notice it's VR, is it

Hopefully the speed will pick-up
a part-time job to cover that lull.  Crying here and not to be unkind is really not going to help your situation.  We can give you a big ole awwwww, but that's not going to help.  Get a part-time job.
You all need to pick up some Feen-A-Mint
nm
you definitely wanna pick TransHealth
constant workflow. Good accounts. Good pay. GOOD PEOPLE.
....pick up the slack and keep TAT in check! nm

Pick up the phone and call
x
Yes it will be a threat. It will just pick up these sounds of
chewing and make words out of them. Yep.
If you could pick between OSi and TransTech, which would you choose? nm

Decision made on who to pick!
After reading all the feedback, I decided to go with Keystrokes.  MQ just seems to iffy with work compared to Keystrokes, who certainly has some good feedback from fellow MTs. 
If your question is can you cherry pick
Your queue is preset for your work types and they come in according to TAT. You can't pick and choose what you want to type. That is established beforehand.
So do they cherry pick at Transtech?
nm
Transform or Accustat, which would you pick to go for
I am undecided.
Inviting new members, maybe it will pick up
Everybody is scrambling for lines because its slim pickings now, afraid to spend time in the group for fear of losing a job to type. JMO.
When will work pick back up? nm
x
Which would you pick. Just wanting advice, and different

points of view:


FutureNet, E-Transplus, or MDI.


Perhaps a combination of 2 of the above? Any advice welcome. Having to decide. Thanks in advance.


 


DON'T pick Superior Global...
Superior Global has bad uneducated QAs, bad team leaders, horrible!  They had one great team leader (started with a J), but she resigned and it has gone downhill ever since.  They offer incentives once in awhile and then forget they offered them.  No bonuses for anything.  Just poorly ran.  On the plus side if you aren't meeting production, they don't really care, very disorganized and they can't remember any schedules so it can be pretty flexible.  They also don't have direct deposit, so you have to wait for your paper check.
