Busiest Days of the Week for Your Company?
Posted By: Busy Bee on 2008-12-17
In Reply to:
I always thoughts Sunday nights were busy, getting preops ready, etc., Monday's are pretty busy and Friday is always busy, but the days in between seem to be really slow this year. Is anyone finding certain days of the week to be busier than others?

Maybe she/he works 14 hour days/7 days a week? nm

10,000 a week...them days are gone SM
Those were also the days where you were paid for headers/footers, spaces and for bolding/underlining. The counting that is done at almost every major service now is bare bones (and uncounted entering/searching for demographics and CCs) and if you are getting 12,000 a pay period you're doing good.
not so much the days of the week, but rather
the time of the day -- 5 o'clock rush hour seems to be the busiest where I work Mon-Fri. The weekends are a little busy mid morning/early afternoon. I try to adjust my schedule so I'm working more during those hours and getting things done around the house in the morning hours when it's not as busy. Of course, with kids, that's not always optimal, but I try! In this day, I'm just thankful to have work. 
I have at first a week ago, and the last few days a lot
Yesterday was really bad. I typed a very long consult and the system had not even counted it yet. It was over 13 minutes long and I still had a little over 100 or something lines from the few reports I had just typed. I decided to look to make sure that the report was sent. It was there. There were 4 reports and only a little over 100 lines still. I decided to wait the hour the system says to wait to recheck to make sure the new line count was there. I never got to it because to be honest, I was afraid it was short. The total later for the day was shorter than what I usually get. So I am assuming the upgrades for VR and traditional have changed the way they count lines. But I am not sure and you should contact your mgr. I don't want to spread rumors or make mistakes. I can say I do feel a difference. Certainly right away, and then even later on after system updates. On the whole, I think it could be 10 percent, but I have to wait a full payperiod to be sure. It might just be me being paranoid, though, so I will wait and see... Good luck to you and us all!
I work three days a week ...
8 hours a day, but I often times have to be physically at the computer longer than 8 hours because sometimes the work is slow. I have two accounts. I work no weekends.
At least we don't have to work 7 days a week (unless we want to)
nm
Forgot to say that's 5 days a week
Laurie - you should have said, I don't need 3 days, I need a week!
You may have kept your job, maybe not. Not sure you wanted to. Even if 3 days is the standard issue here - didn't your company have someone to back you up on your account? Is there that much work there? No sense in second guessing yourself now. What is done is done. While different people in your place would handle it different ways, I bet this manager will think twice in the future before being so COLD. You never know, they may call you and want you to come back, so think about that a bit too.
I am sorry you are without income/job now but like the above post to mine said, you need to complete a grieving process before you worry about this. Job searching is hard work and you are probably not up to it yet. Be ready to move on before you tackle this business again. I don't mean to sound cold because I lost my dad in 1986 and cried for 3 years, but you have to be able to focus to take on a job search, much less be able to learn new platforms and accounts. It certainly takes more than 3 days and even more than a week. My heart goes out to you. Good luck.
3 days of PTO 1st year NOT 1 week!
With the paid holidays. Absolutely not 1 week until you are there OVER a year, then 3.077 hours per pay period.
I keep my grandkids (3 and 1) several days a week
while working. While it is very trying on those days, I just adjust to work later that evening or get up very, very early on the days that I have them and the company that I work for is aware of the situation. I love having them here although again, it can be trying some days, lolololol.
They also only work 4 days a week.
give the work to the busiest & most efficient

I work very hard, usually 7 days a week.
I work any hours needed. What is my reward? I get stuck on the garbage accounts, the ones who bellyache get the easy accounts and get put on steady accounts. I think I have learned 8 new accounts in the last 2 months, and none of them were decent accounts. My line count is good, but would be wonderful if I ever had an account I could get used to. These companies beat you up and then throw you to the dogs.
The scum that plays kiss-$$$ get paid more, take off when they want, and get choice of days off, holidays, so they can be with their ill-behaved brats whenever they want to be.
Don't tell me about ethics, tell the MTSOs they need to improve their ethics and then then they could have decent employees.
We are on 7 days/week right now for rad. You need to call your lead. sm
There is PLENTY of work in radiology. I have typed more rad in the past month than ever before with any other company.
I work 12 hr/day, 6 days/week, and my take-home pay - sm
comes out to around $6.50/hour. Is that about in the same ballpark as what you're making, and if so, how can your employees afford to work for you for less than that?
So, now it's a sin to stop wanting to work 7 days a week
and be with children once in a while. Okay. I will take that under advisement.
They seem to show up on only 2, maybe 3 days of the week anymore. The "other" site has a few
s
I sent it in the first day, heard back in a few days, took the test and started last week. sm
I know that they are very busy and it sounds like they are getting even busier. It took about a week after I took the test to hear, but I was told there were over 100 people taking tests and they were picking the best scores.
2 small MTSOs, IC, work 8-10 q.d. ~6 days a week, ave 2000-2300 biweekly, 10 yrs exp. 0.06gross and
;
Told minimum PT was 3500 lines a week; requires 2 weekend days a month nm
xx
That is what I just said. !0 days PTO, period. That includes vacation, sick days and personal days
They should have paid holidays so that you are paid if you take off. Also should inculde extra hours for sick days and personal days.
That annual raise of .002 is kind of a joke especially when at the same time they upped the minimum line requirement from 10,000 lines to 12,000 lines.
OSi just does not have the qualified people in management positions that I wish to work for.
I am glad that you are happy at OSi and all is working out for you. Their dishonesty and the way they treat people just does not work for me.
Of course they can get by cheaply by hiring unqualified people so that is very good for the owners.
Sorry, I work 15 hours a day 5 days a week and 5 hours the other 2, when I come here I dont proof.
nm
$35/hour x five 10-hour days = $1,750 gross/week.

I don't know of any company that gives more than 5 days
PTO the first year. Most have a percentage they use to calculate, not sure what that is.
If you are more concerned with having days off than you are of having them off with pay then the IC route would probably be the way to go. There may be companies that offer more than 5 days PTO the first year, but you'll be hard pressed to find one.
Just like any other company these days

You were there 3 whole days and you think you know the company? Wow, sm
talk about a snap judgment. Sounds like you are thin-skinned.
My company gives a bonus after 90 days.
A company would be stupid to give a bonus upfront because they would have people work the minimum amount of time necessary to get the bonus. I've been other posts where the company will give the bonus spread out over a year.
I'm curious if this is the same company who takes like 30-45 days to pay
and it's lower pay. I could have it confused but last year I was going to contract with a company with that name or similar but decided against it when I read the contract about the pay schedule.
Is there any company that doesn't have high ESL now days? nm

Looking for a company who hires Monday-Friday days
Does anyone know of a company who hires full time transcriptionists for Monday-Friday? I have years and years experience and am tired of working the weekends! Your help will be greatly appreciated!
you must have mistaken this for another company; benefits start in 30 days
This person obviously has no clue
Still not great PTO for first year. I get 12 days at current company. NM
NM
See, my company has these things called days off! Cool, huh?!?!
NM
Hey, don't feel bad, many times it takes days for the company to ,,,,,sm
look through all the resumes and tests they receive, just believe in yourself, keep positive, keep applying to other good prospects, and it will happen for you. Good Luck!!
Anyone know of a company that needs about 10 hours a week...
I'm looking for part-time work, about 10 hours a week. I've got 13 years full-time acute care experience and just need a few hours, Mon-Fri, morning or night!
the company that runs 3 to 5 ads a week.
.
8+ years for me (Rodeer days pre-Wbmx merger) and best COMPANY EVER. NM
.
Was I dreaming or did a certain company advertise for ESL MTs at 15 to 20 cpl a week or so ago and
now it's suddenly 9 to 13 cpl? I tried to take their test and one of the questions they asked was what you were making.
Maybe I was dreaming. I copied the ads I applied to and that one seems to be missing.
I accepted a position with a company last week. sm
How long does it take usually for a company to get you into training and typing after just being hired? A week from your acceptance? Two weeks? I'm waiting for equipment to arrive now.
TIA.
I accepted a position with a company last week
I was able to set up an appointment to start training after my software and equipment arrived also. It was approximately 2 weeks after being hired on. Don't get to worried. They still have to run business as usual and it takes time getting training schedules and software set up. I am so thankful that I switched from MQ . I have been with my new company for 6 months now and wondering why the heck I didn't leave earlier. Good luck.
This is crazy. Every week another company goes under fire. sm
I want to change from MQ to save my sanity, but every week when I check out the postings, there is another company that is being lynched. This is a tough crowd, isn't it? I don't know how to weed through and figure out what is hype good and bad versus what is real. I think I would be better off spinning a wheeling or flipping a coin than trying to balance out what is true here.
Does anyone else feel this way? Where can we go for real answers?
Every week a different company has bad posts. The funny thing is that sm
it just goes round and round. How about doing something about it rather than arguing back and forth. I think we all can agree that there are good companies and bad companies but that for the most part they are all pretty similar. Slipping through the cracks? It happens. Be the squeaky wheel and call the company. Obviously they need people if they hire. Perhaps your resume was stuck to another or your message not written down correctly. Perhaps you misunderstood something and need to clarify it. Perhaps they misunderstood something and need to clarify it. If you have chosen to work for a company and did your research, then you have to decide after a month or so if it is the right company for you or not. Transcription is a very small world and these service owners talk amongst themselves. They work on making transcription better not how to burn and tick off the next applicant.
Be realistic. These companies all have good and bad points. The really bad ones are obvious with the paychecks that do not arrive for months and those that continuously bounce checks and those that rip off their employees with fraudulent line counts. But the ones that are constantly attacked on here are the ones that have been around for awhile and will continue with or without you. MQ, Spheris, MDI, Transcend, Transolutions, Keystrokes, Heartland, TransHealth, OSI, Precyse and Cymed are going to continue to hire and fire and have happy MTs and MTs that do not like working for them. The truly bad ones like XXXX and SS, to name a few, the ones that only have horrible posts are the ones that will fade away.
I last used it the second week of January. Maybe your company's version was better than the compa
?
We all had to call in to the new insurance company last week. I was told that it will be sm
around $250 per single and that KS will be picking up a large portion.
My experience exact opposite- Me willing work 6 days, regular sched, 100% QA last review- Company: N
Me: Ready, willing and able to work 6 days a week, regular schedule, 100% QA my last review, on all ESL's doctors.
Companies: No work. All ESL work. All the worst dictators. No work, did I mention that. Don't want to buy new software or any software to help the MT. Ridiculous formatting rules to decrease my line count. Low line count rate. No holiday pay. Have to work holidays.
Your post was way, way out of line. Maybe you work for a great company, SO tell us who it is.
I've tried 10 companies in 10 years, and they were all the same. Pick my brain and make me work hard, hard, hard for ? 150 lines an hour with ALL ESL, poor sound quality, and then don't really want to pay for the 150 lines, want to jiggle and wiggle it down to 120 or less with rules.
Scroll down a week or so. Tons of good stuff. Great company
nm
Don't worry. Next week, the bitter people will move on to attacking another company. It is just
you watch this board, you will see a pattern. One a week. Have to shred the reputations of good companies to bits just to feel good about being unhappy in general. I wonder sometimes if these people job hop constantly, even work at all, or work for the company they are bashing. Maybe it's just sick fun for those with no outside lives :)
You bill 30 days behind, and they snail mail it so it's late - about 40 days from invoice
No way jose - they even messed up their direct deposit payments
Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.
x
Nope .. email on 1/18 promised "within the next week." Here we are, 1 week later and no info.
x
The minimum is 5500 per week, NOT 6600 per week. I think you made a typo. :)
