As far as PT scheduling, it would depend on the account, but SM

In Reply to: PT incentive - llandroverladyl
with regard to the PT incentive plan, there is a certain number of lines that have to be done on a weekend day. I don't have it all in front of me right now to be more specific than that. Maybe someone else can help with that... Sorry :-/

I think it would depend on the account...
I've heard they have lots of accounts on the Lanier system, which requires the unlimited long distance, but I have never asked. Not sure on the satellite part.
That must depend on the account
I have made more with them than any other company and I have tried a lot of other companies.
It may depend on your account
I was told when I was hired a few months back that I needed to work either Sun-Thu or Tue-Sat, thereby working 1 weekend day every week. But that could be dependent upon the account you are assigned.
It does depend on the account
Just make sure you get more than one account. Some have more work than others. If you want to email me which account your getting put on then I can tell you what that account has been looking like.
I would think it would depend on the account.
Not all accounts require weekend coverage.
Must depend on account at OSI
I've worked there for 6 months and love it. No problems. I don't feel micromanaged. I have plenty of work and it seems to me like they basically just leave you alone and let you work.
May depend on account, but no 12
hour window, and again depending on account and shift worked there may be some flexibility, but if I was 15 minutes late for my shift they were calling me. It only happened once. All the times I was early or worked OT without OT pay didn't count for anything.
Must depend on the account
I've never had a problem making the line count for the pay period, whether VR or straight transcription, working an 8-hour day.
Guess it must depend on the account.
It's going to depend on your account
My account is pretty busy all the time, except for the holiday periods, when everyone is slow. Doctors take time off, too. I've only had it be busy at Christmas and then this past July 4th. The rest of the time, the work is really steady. They have a variety of accounts, though. The accounts they are hiring for, I believe, are for full time, so I am going to assume (!) that they have full time work to offer someone.
I think e-mail might depend on what account you do. SM
I got eight last Friday and 6 on Saturday. That's a lot as far as I am concerned and they all same the same thing.
Amphion use ExText or does it depend on the account?
Thanks.
may depend on account; mine needed demos filled in.

SE scheduling
From what I understand, Santa Ana (Orange) and Monrovia are, I guess, sort of merged. (Same regional director/payroll dept.
What I wanted to ask (for those of you that are SEs)how closely do you stick to your schedule you provided them with? I was told I needed to work a set schedule, but heard from others that I can be very "lax" with it. I'm confused about the answers I've been getting, so if anyone can shed some light on the subject, I would greatly appreciate it.
scheduling
AllType's scheduling seems very rigid and I was looking for a more flexible schedule, like a 12-hour window or something similar. Any suggestions? Anyone from AllType that has personal experience regarding their scheduling with opinions to share? Thanks!
stat scheduling
Can anyone clear up the "general" schedule I need to follow as an MQ SE? I am so confused. I'm aware each office is different. My office asks for a set schedule, but is "very flexible." For those of you who are SEs, do you follow the exact schedule you give your acct mgr? If you agree to an 8-hour day, must you complete all 8 hours if your line count is already met? Can you log in to do extra work outside of your hours such as nights/weekends? I'm just curious to know how much time is actually monitored, being that this is a "general" schedule. It's very confusing and not really being made clear to me--please help! 
Way too strict about scheduling

How flexible is their scheduling? sm
Don't they have a 12 hour window to get work done in?
Flexible Scheduling
Are there other companies that offer flexible scheduling, or rather line commitments, instead of a fixed shift - like MDI-MD?
To MW - re set hours, scheduling, etc.
Set hours - yes you work a schedule but you can basically set your own schedule except you will need to work either Saturday or Sunday, usually Sunday through Thursday or Tuesday through Saturday but they will work with you on the weekdays. TT is the most flexible company I have found.
SPI's new scheduling application
Are there any current SPI MTs who are willing to share their thoughts on the new scheduling application?
scheduling application
I find the application slow and clumsy. No way can you sign out if you leave your computer every 5 mins... it really is the last straw. Word has it they're going to dump us anyway and pull out of onshore accounts altogether.
Webmedx scheduling
Can you tell me about the scheduling at Webmedx? Is there much flexibility? Weekends required? Thank you!
Archivus scheduling
Can anybody tell me if the scheduling at Archivus for clinic work is flexible? Can you tell me anything about the platform? Thank you!
20 for PT and 40 for FT. But they are RIGID in scheduling. sm
I turned down the position because of this.
the info given so far is that scheduling will be MORE FLEXIBLE
so not sure exactly what you are asking, re: firm.
how flexibile is your scheduling at Medware? NM

Companies with flexible scheduling?
I'm looking for a company that I can commit to lines per pay period and not a set schedule?
How's the scheduling for MDI-MD? Are they completely flexible?
Does ANYONE besides MDI pay decent and have that FLEXIBLE scheduling? HELP, please! nm

Recommendations on company with flexible scheduling
I am looking for a company who is flexible in their scheduling. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated plus any other good/bad info.
Futurenet scheduling/flexibility question. (sm)
If you agree to work during certain hours say 8-5, how flexible are they if something comes up and you take a couple of hours off during a.m. and then make up in p.m. Is this even allowed. I know it is IC but some IC positions are very rigid while others are not.
Mind if I ask if they have flexible scheduling? pay scale? thanks! nm

TransTech scheduling question. I know you work 1 weekend day (sm)
and give them a schedule you will be working. Do they micromanage, i.e. if you have to run to school to pick up a sick kid can you make up the time at the end of the shift without calling for permission? Do they go through and check your time on line and lines done to make sure you are being productive while signed onto system as MQ does?
Have heard they are really great and I understand schedules, but some companies allow more freedom of movement than others.
Any info helpful. TIA.
IC status and being asked to commit to specific scheduling question
I thought I understood that this was not permitted to be asked if one was an IC. I work a very, very stable schedule as it is, but they want me to tell them EXACTLY when I will work and also will I commit to weekends as well. What do you all think???
do Etransplus and probity offer true flexible scheduling
or do you have to follow a set schedule? Thank you in advance for all your input.
That would depend on what you need.
If you need consistent work, Transcend isn't for you. Most companies have dry spells now and then, but Transcend runs out A LOT. If you're a high producer, Transcend isn't for you because within the next 2 years the majority of their work will be editing VR. A moderate to high producer makes less money editing VR than transcribing. If you prefer to stay on the same account, Transcend isn't for you. You might be hired on an oncology account, but chances are you won't be working on that account in 4 months because the majority of the people there have at least 4 or 5 accounts before the end of their first year.
IMO, that would depend a lot on what your needs are.

It would depend
I am a new MT. If I do not have samples or adequate feedback on a specific doc, I normally blank if I am not 100% certain of the word. That being said, I make every effort to write notes and hi-light anything that is mumbled through. It takes me anywhere from 3-5 jobs with that doc to become use to their voice and style of dictation. I feel for you though, it has got to be tough correcting the same thing over and over again.
It will depend on what is available.
There aren't set shifts necessarily. When I was hired, there were only evening shifts available, but I got to choose my start time. I was required to work 1 weekend day. I know others who had a wide variety of shifts offered to them including 12-hour windows. Just depends on what they need filled at the time.

I think it would depend
on your employment status. Are you an intern? Were you hired as an experienced MT? Generally speaking when a seasoned MT is hired there is an understanding, as with any job, that there is a probationary period. My experience with multiple, multiple employers has been that for a few days, often a few hours, one sends everything through Q.A. Assuming one knows their stuff and has a grasp of the account specs they move off full Q.A.
Would depend on the job.
No amount of money is worth it if I am doing a job I dislike. Also, I am making over $40,000 a year doing MT, so I would need to earn at least that if I was to switch jobs. Would not switch if it meant dropping back down to $30K as I coudln't afford to live off that in my current situation. So the pay would have to be in the higher range of that scale to make it worth a switch.
They depend on complacency. sm
It's working so far.
That will depend on your company, of course. nm

I honestly don't know...It may depend on (sm)
what work you are applying for, because I see on this board here they have several different positions. I've been practically begging for M-F work for years now, as the stuff I do (hospital, acute care) has always required me to work at least one weekend day. I always work holidays though, but that is my choice because I can't pass up the chance to earn the extra cash, so I've never asked about those. Again, I think it all depends on what type of work you do there. 
I think that would depend if you're
employee status or IC/SE status. The IC/SE status would probably be able to work as much as you want, but the employee status has to watch overtime.
It does depend on where you live.
In fact, I didn't realize about the city license until on of the city investigators came out to investigate my neighbor and her business.
That would certainly depend if she is an IC or employee. nm
