Yes. Check the # of jobs...0, 4, 21, etc., the words OT are there. The work soon won't be.
This happens often. Yes, it says OT is offered on an account, but there may be 0 jobs available. They absolutely do not owe us any OT at all ever, but it would be nice to get 40 hours in during your posted availability and not have to constantly flex to do so. People have other obligations in life besides Webmedx.
They have weekend Radiology jobs that were posted on the job board May 8..(sm)
other than that, you would probably have to call.  Good Luck!
Only those Good/Happy Friday emails to try to keep us from searching for jobs during the weekend

TT throws out a *line* on Friday emails, hoping that we will bite.  TT mgmt does not know what to do now !  I truly believe that !


I'm not sure that they will make it through this, if Dictaphone has taken away some of the Dictaphone accounts works and dividing it out among other Dictaphone customers.


I don't see a pretty picture at Transtech anymore.  Don't say that I am just a negative person; what is pretty about it?


When a new MTSO signs on with Dictaphone, they are going to give them work from somewhere, and I believe it is from TransTech. 


I am so disheartened by all this with TT. 


Promises for new work coming onboard is exactly what one poster said -- more Dictaphone overflow accounts!  Not enough work for ALL the MT's TransTech has hired within the past few months.  


Cherrypicking is when you work from a pool of jobs and being able to reject the worst jobs to those

Only minium wage jobs check references
for some bizzaro reason, I swear.  I wanted to work at a garden nursery and had to list FIVE references and all were checked.  Husband got an IT job dealing with super-duper confidential crap, listed 2 references, and not a single one was called.  What is up with THAT logic?!  Penis=better everything I swear.
job post/Medical Comm.
Anyone heard of a company in Wisconsin called Medical Communications?  Job offer is forward calls to call-in system, 8.5 cpl, part-time to start.  Person's name is Susan Hirsch.  Just curious before I get involved.  Thanks for any info.

Guess we all can't be put on good accts. Gotta be there at the right time. Both of my accts.
s
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.
I'll love to know who you work for. I also work every weekend with no extra pay.
It'd be nice to get paid for all the nights and weekends I work.
Maybe is it for a particular account. I work M-F. You are required to work one weekend an month.

No Work Either and I am on one of the new accts
.
Agreed. They remind one of MQ. Where is the current employee handbook on the Comm Page?
Thanks.
you have to go through w/any company if you work VA accts..nm

i have steady work, on wav accts
with occasional lull's. i could work on secondaries, but usually do something around the house that begs my attention. All i can suggest is being able to be somewhat flexible with your hours, and/or talking to liaison about backup accts. as a last resort, a second company part-time i suppose. but in my opinion, MDI-MD is worth sticking with.
One of my secondary accts has very little work , but they..sm
stat every blessed report they do, so I always get those immediately. It is TAT, but your STM can explain it in more detail.
the new accts were supposed to already be on board and still no work
x
so far plenty and swamped with work but that is due to new accts and not enough MTs yet so not sure
;
You don't know what accts I work on so how can you judge whether or not they are excellent? nm
.
Dedicated accts, few ESL, leave you alone to work.
x
Companies with new accts or sufficient work?
When I left my last job, the work load was on the wane and recent posts seem to indicate this has not changed much.  Any good news out there in this regard?
A 3-day weekend every weekend? Wouldn't that be nice. Good luck with that!..nm

no weekend work - sm
Sounds like Transcend!
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. 


Weekend work...

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


 


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.
Do you still have to work every 4th weekend or is

weekend work

Are there any companies who will allow you to work both weekend days as part of a regular schedule.  I am looking for a reliable company, at leat 8.5 cpl, employee status and one where work flow is regular.  I realize there are always slow downs in this industry but searching for a company where you are not consistently running out of work. I prefer to work both Sat and Sun to allow me 2 days off during the week. I know this is unusual. I have an IC job.  Love the flexiblity but I need benefits.


weekend work
I picked a Sun-Thur schedule so I plan to work Sun after dinner, and get my weekend in first...
looking for weekend work
I would like to obtain weekend transcription. I do work a full time 40 hour weekday job and would like to pick up some weekend work. If anyone knows of any, please let me.
weekend work
I too hated the thought of working every single weekend, but I've been doing it for a year, and it has actually worked out okay. On the Sunday that I work, my husband gets to spend time with my kids, and I get an actual day to work interrupted. I don't have to work 8 hours on Sunday though, so I guess that helps. I just get up early and am done by noon. I am actually considering doing a Saturday too so that my husband can help that day also. It might not be as bad as you think. Good luck.
Weekend work
What do you find so difficult about working a weekend? I had 3 kids and worked 7 days a week.. (and still work 7 days a week!), you just adjust your schedule to what your kids are doing....most companies no longer require a set 8-4 or 9-5 type environment....Now I'm a grandmother and manage to do my job during the day and watch my granddaughter after 3 p.m....it really isn't that difficult. Look at it this way - if our normal work week was Tues to Sat, you'd be wondering how anyone could work Mon - Fri. Good luck with your juggling.
You HAVE to work a weekend day? No thanks!
I'll stick to companies who hire full-timers on M-F and part-timers for weekend work...
I work 2 accts, always work available, pay as IC is good..
They offered me more than Transcend did, I work 2nd shift, work always availble, OT usually available. Staff is very responsive to questions, very helpful.


Someone else asking if you still need a Cphone & 2nd line to work for them. Any internet accts? nm
s
2 of the accts running OT in my group of work ARE EXCELLENT sm
Excellent accounts, low ESL, good work. NOT OVERHIRED. GO AWAY.
Yes. You must work 1 weekend day every week. nm

If they didn't want weekend work,
I would have taken the job. But who wants weekends? That stinks.

I have plenty of work and am doing OT this weekend. Maybe you could ask
for a transfer to a different supervisor.
Weekend work / 2nd line
It depends on which client they assign you to.  Our hospital is currently dial-up to both Lanier and Meditech.  However, Meditech will soon be IP connection but you will require a phone line for our Lanier as ours is not internet based/digital.
There is an abundance of work on the weekend on
several accounts and the positions being advertised are for weekend coverage. 
So you "refuse" to work a weekend day? sm
No wonder our jobs are going offshore where people are grateful to have employment. Do you think hospitals don't need reports on weekends? Get over yourself.
You volunteer to work the weekend (sm)
after having 40 hours, and only get the extra lines you type. I have never been offered incentive, OT, etc. However, I've been with company who ran out of work all the time, so, having the extra lines over the weekend helps my bottom line a lot. No complaint here. (It would be nice to have incentives over 1200 lines per day required, maybe they'll do that sometime.) My experience has been wonderful with them!
Do you have to work every weekend with Keystrokes?
x
This weekend work was scarce. nm

FN just e-mailed, asking me to work this weekend
how's that for having your head up your ____?
Wahhh, I have to work a weekend.....
you're sitting home on your probably ever expanding behind with a job, able to be home with your kidlets, can wear whatever unattractive outfit you want, probably don't bother with your appearance, don't have to spend money on fuel, nice clothing, lunch, etc, and still find something to complain about. Grow up, this is a REAL job that is 24/7. Take some pride in the fact that you happen to be employed and are lucky enough to be at home. Unless you're attached at the hip to the DH and kids, it shouldn't be a problem. Some companies require 1 weekend a month, if you can't bear that, find another job.
Weekend work has been going on in hospitals many years but
weekend workers generally rotate if they work in house or they used to. This should be the way these companies do this rather than tie up every weekend. It would be easier to find someone if they rotated their weekends and were firm about the commitment. It is not that hard. It is about good management and if they can't manage to get that commitment, then companies need new management to implement that kind of thing. Finding weekend workers would be a lot easier.
Does anyone know if Shapin requires weekend work? Thanks! NM

I have all weekend to stretch it out and work as I please. No big deal really.

I think you can't be. Prob 98% of companies want you to work a weekend day.
I have more time than you and i think you are sorely mistaken in taking that attitude and that you will not get anything nowadays with that specification.
