I made that working for a national...O/T, weekends...no live, now no O/T or weekends(sm)
so no more big bucks, at least from them...looking for second job to make ends meet, don't have husband to help...this sucks.
MQ same situation. No pay for working holidays, no pay for working weekends nothing. Now noone works
much anymore and so they jerk the work out of the accounts to some place that throws it back with a lot of bad bad quality. This is the NE region. I dont know what the others are doing.
NOT working weekends
i really don't understand woman in this profession. You are in a 24/7 365 day a year job but you don't WANT to work weekends. You are going to a new company and becoming the low man on the totem pole but you think you shouldn't have to work weekends. Wake up and smell the coffee ladies. Try going to Walmart, Target, or your local grocery store and telling them you do not want to work weekends. Go work in an office or a factory and expect to have all the holidays off for your vacation. Get real and grow up. When you are NEW you get the weekends and the night shifts, the rest of us who have been with the company awhile and paid our dues are entitled to the weeknds off and most of us are willing to work the weekends when it is needed. Those of you who want your cake and eat it too need to wake up to the real world.
I like working weekends. There is always
I also have a family and responsibilities, but b/c I have a family I need to take this kind of shift. Works for patient care and for TT and me. Seems like different strokes for different folks, but I am happy to do both days on the weekend every week. I get time off during the week while everyone else has to work and fight for lines.
Working weekends and holidays
Thanks, I'd like to think of myself as a nice person. Unfortunately, the place I work at is a local clinic doing nephrology work. Have you tried locally, maybe you could find something where you wouldn't have to work weekends. And oh, yes, it is paid vacation. After 5 years I get 5 weeks. I have great benefits and a 401K plan, so I'm very thankful.
Re: working weekends and nights
I already do work Saturdays and nights (or try to, but it's a little hard when there is no work). I do not work on Sundays. It is my only day for my family to be together. I work six days (or nights as the case may be) a week as it is. Saturdays and nights are fine and I am happy to work them, but no work then, either. But there is also no work early mornings, hardly any during the day, almost none at night. It is as if it has all evaporated??????? I remember when all three of my accounts were plentiful and I could work as much as I wanted whenever. I do not mind flexing my schedule, but there is just no work no matter which way I flex it. What happened?
You Might get 11cpl working weekends only, third shift, as an IC. nm

Working holidays/weekends? I would certainly hope you are committed to
your convictions. Many people do not work holidays but it is not always a choice. If you do not want to work weekends or holidays, but the work must get done. If you are anti-working holidays and weekends, then I hope you do not expect to receive medical care or emergency treatment of any kind, that you do not shop or buy anything on weekends/holidays, do not attend any type of functions where employees must work to create a good environment for you to enjoy your life, do not go to movies, do not go out for dinner, etc. Did you ever think that these people may not want to have to work just to make your life sweet? What hypocrits.
Au contraire, working in-house usually means weekends
or rotating weekends. I've been doing this 30 years and I've yet to not have to share in the weekend coverage, whether rotating or a fixed Saturday or Sunday workday.
No one is delighted to work weekends, except maybe for the differential (which isn't much but helps), but it's part and parcel of the profession, at least in my experience.
I've been working weekends for 7 years and haven't heard of this.

Right now we're all working PT at MW.nm
but true
Yep!!! We're working on the same account.
I'll email you..
You're working all hours
to make up yours but taking work from those scheduled to work. NOt that I blame you, we all need what we need, BUT WEBMEDX - YOU HAVE OVERHIRED!!!!! I don't like having to fight people for my work. As soon as I find something else, I'm outta here. Over 25 years experience down the tubes!!!
If you're planning on working as
You might want to brush up your computer skills, etc. As the other poster mentioned, as an IC you are basically self-employed and marketing your business to that provider.
I wonder if you're working for the same company as me - nm

What happens if you're working on a 9 cpl level
and you have a backup account on an 8 or 7 cpl account? Do you still get paid at 9 cpl? Or does the pay vary based on what account you happen to be typing that day?
Monday - 9cpl
Tuesday - 7cpl
Wednesday - 8.5 cpl,
etc, etc.
Did they say anything about that to you?
Well, if you're supposed to be working, why
are you here?
Also depends on what office you're working under
Not sure how that's going to change after the buyout, but I've heard widely varying reports depending on region.
Only if you are doing a lot of breaking when your're supposed to be working. sm
I don't think bathroom breaks should take that long to make that big a difference :)
They're working on it? You've waited on them for 6
forget them. Unless, of course, you like being strug along.
Been working there 2 days and they're already out of work. nm
Same here! Been working all weekend! We're drowning in work!
My 2 accounts are extremely busy as well. They haven't slowed down once.
And you're okay with working for a company that sends most of its work to India and
whose workforce is predominantly Indian? You're okay with the loss of American jobs, the falling recession we are in and the falling economy due in big part to the offshoring of American jobs? How okay will you be when you lose your job to an Indian and you have to apply for food stamps and unemployment?
Sell-out MTs like you are the reason good MTs cannot make a decent wage anymore, why good MTs cannot find a good job anymore, and why sweats shops in third world countries are thriving. How do you look at yourself in the mirror?
Focus Infomatics employs 800 American MTs and over 3000 Indian MTs. Tech support is in India. The company itself is still run by the same Indian man who started the company and sold out to Nuance. He made a bundle when he sold and he is still making a bundle running the company while he pays his own countrymen and woman peanuts! He's selling out his own people and you are selling out yours! On second thought, I guess you belong at Focus with your own kind!
Egads. You're the type who bring working conditions and
pay down for the rest of us because you're soooo willing to be treated badly & thank them for it.
Nope, more like a matter of time before we're all working for chump change.

You're extremely lucky. I bet there aren't 10 of us out here employed by a hospital, working f
c
Good luck to you and please report back after you're working with them to give us
s
Ditto.. Over 13 years experience working in hospitals doing all types of reports, currently working
for a national etc.. and Spheris told me I didnt have the qualifications. What cracked me up was the hospital I was working at at the time contracted some of our work out to them.. What a joke..I was good enough to work for a hospital and gave them work, yet not qualified enough for them. What is wrong with this picture.
Weekends?
And no, I don't work weekends, only if I want to get on the OT or the incentives.
Weekends
You work in the medical field, which is a 365-day-a-year business. Why would you expect that you would not have to work on weekends? The hospitals that provide the work that provides us a paycheck expect their charts back in the contracted time. If you aren't willing to help provide that service, then either get out of the field or find your own physicians to contract with so that you can set your own hours.
Weekends
I worked weekends for the Harpy MTSO and OT whenever it was needed. Did she appreciate it? No. I happen to like working weekends! An oddity, I know, but I AM a professional.
DSG used to have no weekends. Don't know about now. nm

Weekends
Almost every company out there now requires a weekend day....and GIMT is soooo flexible..you are not HELD to certain hours. Get them in when you can that day and everyone is happy.
Weekends at TT
I have just recently started at TT and was told I had the choice of Sun-Thur or Tue-Sat; when asking for M-F, they laughed. Also, their ads say Tue-Sat and Sun-Thur. What gives?
Weekends
Except if my memory is correct you did not have to commit to a set schedule for the weekend as long as you covered your 20% line commitment.
no weekends
No way do I want to work weekends. Is it really required or are they flexible?
weekends
I only did M-F. I know someone else who just started with them and will only do M-F.
weekends
when I worked there you either did Tues-Sat or Sun-Thurs. Or if you wanted Monday-Friday, you did every fourth weekend. Only fair in this business.
weekends
It used to be people were hired with a 2 weekend days a month requirement. Now they are hiring on Tues-Sat or Sun-Thurs schedules (as are most companies). It sounds like the info packet hasn't reflected that change. Probably best to clarify your future schedule with the recruiter or your supervisor.
Weekends......
Check with FutureNet. I work weekend option there, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and have more work that I know what to do with. They are always needing extra help on weekends. Pay is good too and people are super-nice.
To Weekends Off
Thank you for that positive feedback. If you would be willing to share the names of these companies I would appreciate it and you could contact me by e-mail.
To No Weekends Here
If you would you be willing to share the name please e-mail me. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
weekends
If you don't want to work weekends, shouldn't have picked the medical field. Maybe you should try a doctor's office, though most of them these days are open on Saturday.
I love working 1 weekend day and having 1 day off during the week to myself. That's my sanity day.
There are plenty of ways to work a weekend day and still have time for family. It might take some creativity on your part but it can be done.
OPs, weekends, as an IC... 7 cpl.
That's equivalent to roughly 4-5 cpl as an employee with benes. It takes years to become a good MT. I can't believe the low pay rates posted lately.
Weekends
The account I'm on, because it is a clinic account, tends to be done for the week usually by Saturday night. Occasionally there will be a backlog and work available on Sunday, but that's rare.
I don't know about the acute care accounts. I would assume that they would need people on the weekends- that type of account usually does. They started me at .0875 cpl which is just fine for my needs and expectations.
I don't know about the not getting a response. I got a response from them right away last year when I applied, so I'm not sure what that's about.
TT weekends
I work 4 hr/day Sun-Thur by choice. Some work Tue-Sat and others rotate weekend days.
The weekends
We have always had busier days on Thursday and Friday but this is waaaaay busier. Of course, people could be on vacations, etc. as well. It is summer. It just seems funny that there is NO work for three days and then a ton of it.
Weekends?
Just curious...what is the typical weekend requirement for Transcend? Also, how strict is your scheduling? Those really are my main concerns at this time.
Weekends
It does help somewhat, but I'm really just wondering if they do require 1 weekend day per week. I don't mind working every other, but absolutely cannot do 1 weekend day per week. I guess I'll have to wait until the first of the year. Thanks for answering though!
Weekends...
Thank you. That's what I needed to know. We do a lot of camping on the weekends, or we did anyways, usually every other weekend. So, there is no way this is going to work for me. Like I said, I have no problem with working every other weekend, but if I have to work one weekend day per week, I'm either going to have to sell our camp or find another job. This is depressing.
more $ for night and weekends
0.005 per line from 6 pm to 11 pm. from 11 pm to 6 am 0.01 per line. How the heck can we keep track of this stuff? More time will be spent calculating the time sheet than earning it!!
