You still qualify for holiday pay as long as you sm

In Reply to: NSA all the time - another webby

tried to work and have NSA messages. Ask your STM, just to verify. S/he should tell you that you'll still get the holiday pay b/c it isn't your fault that you're out of work.

Can you tell me how long you have to wait before you qualify for insurance?
Thanks, and can I ask how many lines you do weekly (average) on their accounts? I noticed it has varied for me among diffent companies.
Does anyone know how long it takes before you qualify for insurance at Keystrokes? nm

I would get fired.. you would qualify for unemployement. If you quit, then you would not qualify..
As far as using them a reference, I would not worry about that.. From my experience, I have hardly had any potential employers check my references or when they did I just gave them the heads up about my version of what happened. Most are thankful of the honest as not every company is a fit for everyone. I doubt that would hold it against you.
I would think you qualify. . sm
A man quit at my husband's trucking company and then filed for unemployment. He told them there was not enough work. There was plenty of work, he just wanted to quit. He actually got the paid unemployment. It cost us a lot of money, and now he will only hire ICs. It was really unfair because the man quit. He was having trouble in his marriage and his wife wanted him to be home. So that's what he did. He quit and lived off the unemployment checks for 6 months or more. It doesn't hurt to check into it. It seems like if he could get it, you would be likely to qualify. Two weeks is a long time to go without work. Good luck!
Please qualify that statement..have you ever used DQS?sm
just tell me please before I jump into another rediculous platform full of demo screens to wade through before actual transcription.
I probably don't qualify to post

because I have yet to do VR.  However, my neighbor is working for a local clinic as an IC and she loves it. 


However, from reading this board, what I pick up and I may clearly be off base but if you work for a good company VR is okay but a lot of places it seems are letting people use it that don't need to be using it and they are having to retype the report for half the pay. 


Basically what it boils down to is who you work for. 


Do not need FT status to qualify for UE - sm

They go according to work you have DONE in the past 52 weeks rather than what you were promised.  In my state, must have worked at least 20 week during last 52 weeks, earning $80.00 or more (may be $90 by now, data is couple of years back).  I don't think 1 day of no work would qualify, either.  Here there is a waiting period of 1 week - benefits start second week of unemployment.  So easy for employer to manipulate.


What DOES qualify though, as well, is a SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION in salary or hours originally agreed upon, not being paid at least minimum wage, and given title/job duties different from what originally hired for. 


After my last 2 checks from Transcend, I now can qualify
to get food stamps and some living assistance.  Sure hope the big guys in the company - all those new bosses they hired  - are getting the same big pay cuts and low wages, but you can be sure the only thing they are doing is getting bigger backsides from sitting around sending out lies about how great this program is and how much they are doing to help us.  Larry, you need to get your act together and tell the truth for once.  You are not doing a d****ed thing to help anyone but yourself. 
Anyone switching from IC to FT for MQ - qualify for sign on bonus? (nm)
;
Depending on the reason you may not qualify for unemployment...sm
If an employer has good grounds for dismissal then unemployment won't be awarded.
Do all MTSOs require 39+ hours to qualify for
nm
Nope, not a catch. The only thing you need to do to qualify I think is have been there one year in
to be eligible. They pay like four weeks at full pay (your average weekly earnings) or eight weeks at half pay. Your choice. They strongly believe that it's the right thing to do.
No problem :) No matter how long, it is too long for me - I am broke the day after payday. Kids wi
do that to you!

I know that they have worked very hard to make sure that checks are never late and I can say that in the past two years, I have had one problem (2 days late) and in the past 18 months, they have all been on payday and perfect.

I know that there are a lot of hard feelings in MT in general. I also know firsthand (and I am not mgmt) how hard KS has worked to get things going good.

I would not want to walk in an MTSO's shoes for any amount of money, but that's just me. I like to finish my work for the day, forget about work when not working and get paid on payday. I never want the other things that go with mgmt or owning a company of any kind :)
They definitely rip you off with your line count. Figured this out long ago and quit long ago

What really sucks is that I looked for a LONG, long time -sm
before joining DRC - wanted a highly reputable, not-too-big co. that was LOCAL, and that treated its MTs humanely. I'm very happy with DRC & had planned to stay with them permanently.
holiday pay
Do most companies provide holiday pay?
No holiday pay?
I do not work for Spheris, but that is the most selfish/ crasiest thing I have ever heard. I hope I don't sound like an idiot here, but is that even legal to have to work on a holiday without getting extra pay (apparently, it must be) ..but, I tell you what, I would be taking off every single holiday. I can understand if you were IC or SE or if they offered different incentives... but EMPLOYEE?
holiday pay
Does anyone who works for DRC/Acusis remember if there used to be paid holidays or has it always been just premium holiday pay?  I've only been here since March, but I was under the impression when I hired on we had 8 paid holidays???
no holiday pay at DSG. nm
xx
holiday pay
well, i'm not sure where people on here are getting their information. the new policy states you have to make your line quota 6 out of the last 8 pay periods and be employed there at least 6 months. it isn't that unreasonable
So what's their big holiday?
?
What holiday?

IC Holiday Pay?

If you are an IC, are you asked to work major holidays?  How many do you work?  Do you get a special line rate for working the big holidays? I wonder what the line rate is for holiday pay at most companies?


What's holiday pay?
Where I work as an IC, everyone who is normally scheduled for that day of the week is expected to work unless approved to take off in advance.  Experience tells me that there is usually little to no work on the holidays, though.
holiday pay
i get time and a half - 13.5 cpl - 6 major holidays
holiday pay??
I get the same pay as always.  I need to apply where you work. 
Holiday Pay
You negative people just slay me. Did you not get the email from Management about there being FULL management and supervisory staff working the holidays? If they get paid for the holidays I'm sure they deserve every dime they do get. All you have to do (from my experience working the past several years with TT on holidays) is sign up to work the holiday and you will get paid lines and a half. There will be work, there always is. Now whether it's an account that will be your comfort zone will be another question. They can only give us the dictation the doctors dictate. They can't create something. I'm just really defensive when it comes to TT, they've been really good to me because I've been a good worker for them and plan on continuing as such.
Holiday Pay
I forgot to mention in my previous post...why don't you build up PTO like TT gives? Then you can take a holiday and get paid. Times are lean now and you have to make some sacrifices just as TT has to do I'm sure. Some people think that just because there is a company they are making dollars hand over fist. If I had a company that offered people to accumulate PTO why would I want to give them free money and pay them for doing absolutely nothing? Good luck in finding somewhere these days that will give out free money. Sounds like you're more interested in a handout.
Holiday Pay
I work for three services; at two I get $.03 per line extra and the third I get 15% extra of whatever lines I've done.
Holiday pay
Well work then. The BENEFIT is you work from home. You forfeit some benefits in exchange for others. Get over it. Guess you didn't mention they give you a Christmas gift though. How many MT companies do that for their HOME BASED MT's?
It's the holiday
With short work weeks, you'll likely hear from them next week. Good luck! Great place to work!
I just TAKE the holiday. If they don't like it,
_
Holiday pay
Don't blame you for being miffed. They say you only get holiday pay if you make your line rate. I don't know how many times I have been suckered into working a holiday and sat there all day for nothiong because I could not make rate with no work. Won't do it anymore unless I can get a guaranteed wage for sitting around waiting for work and totally ruining my time with my family.
Holiday pay
Your supervisor can approve holiday pay for you if you did not make your hours because of NSA - so take heart, you should get your holiday pay as long as you are putting in a ticket for your NSA once a day. That info is per one of the super's.
Holiday
It has been my experience that usually there is not much work on the holiday and if you check in a few times and if necessary type a few reports there is no problem.
holiday incentive pay
...is something I'd like to see
holiday question to R
Where did you see the must work 3 holidays thing-it is not in the handbook and nobody told me that.
OSI holiday pay and raises
I predict that the holiday bonus will last through Thanksgiving and Christmas, and then disapear like the work does overseas. No way are they gonna pay that ALL year....no way are they gonna pay raises either, cause no one will stay long enough to earn one!
How bad was the holiday slowdown?

just a day.. or a few days??


Holiday slow down?
Does it seem like the 4th of July holiday slowdown is starting already?
Holiday? What a joke...sm
Are there any companies out there that actually pay their MTs holiday pay? Amphion makes you use your hard-earned, very-slowly-accru, or is there better? Just doesn't seem right. I would think they could pry their wallets open a little bit wider in this respect.
No, you don't have to ask to work a holiday (sm)
I have the same problem with working past my usual quitting time (getting old, you know- LOL) I usually just send an email to Deb (or I guess to support) and say, I'm tired, will make up on weekend.  Have never had a problem.  Actually they are probably glad to have the help on the weekends.  They are pretty flexible, especially when work is low.  Don't hesitate to call them or email them for questions.  I like it here too.
MDI/FL/Transcend Rad Holiday
Does the MDI/FL/Transcend holiday bonus apply to radiology accounts as well?  If so, since pay is per report, how is the bonus calculated?
Do you have to ask to work on a holiday...
when you are scheduled off?

Another question when out of work-do you have to keep working until your 8 hours are in once the work picks up or just make up that time later. I have a hard time working past a certain hour in the day and in the past, just made it up during the week/weekend. I don't want to get on the bad side of 'em. Love it here.
Holiday lull
I never had a lull, there was about 1/2 when had to wait for work, but other than that has been pretty steady.
No holiday. It's the end of the pay period sm

Nearly always low the Monday beginning the new pay period. Never fear, we'll be buried by Wednesday again. 


Only if you actually work on the holiday
If you choose to work the holiday, you will get paid the extra cpl for the holiday, but if you choose not to work the holiday, you won't get it.
Yes mam, I will have a good holiday and you do the same.
Thanks.
Holiday Bonus?
I'm pretty new to Webmedx and am wondering if there is any holiday bonus.  I'm probably crazy just having such thoughts but still hoping......anyone have any info?
Is everyone still out of work from the holiday?
I'm at Oracle and my account has been totally 100% out of work since Labor Day. I'm asking that they put me on a secondary but even if they do it tomorrow it'll be my smallest paycheck ever.

How's everyone else doing across the board?

Also I'm perfectly aware that its normal to be out of work after holidays, but tell that to my bills.

Thinking of getting out of the business..... :(
We were not slow at all over the holiday.
