Has any company said thank you to those who have picked up the extra

work for those who are "out of service" from the hurricane? I have worked my fingers to the bone to keep a few accounts happy, no thanks, no overtime, no bonus. Guess I am the dummy here.

Yes but that means hiring a lot of extra people and paying out a lot of extra money when they can
have SE without all this. Their last report said they are making less money now than before and expect to make less in the next quarter so what does that say. We shall see. As part time employees you would still have to adhere to a schedule and I think people are SE for flexibility at least I am.
My company only acknowledges 6 holidays per year, and Easter isn't one of them, so no extra pay.

Why can't companies at least let you know you were not picked for a job?
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure they are bombarded with people testing, but when you think of the hours spent for MTs trying to find a new job, and they take all those MTtest.com tests while still trying to work all day, only never to hear a peep back is hard to take. A simple thanks, but no thanks would go a long way in my book. I am sick of wasting my time.
Please. Yep, they picked 1 MT to send it to.
Looks like I picked the 2 right choices TY!

I just picked that out thin air. nm

I actually picked up a stalker
several years ago from another website. A pretty frightening experience!
If you want to be nit-picked to death
Then by all means, hire on with Keystrokes. I had just started with them but after I saw my review, I told them I did not want to work for them. They nit-pick every comma, etc., to death and there was no way I was going to put up with that. These services get so carried away by all the insignificant crap that they just drive away anyone who is a good MT but doesn't want to put up with the nit-picking. Good luck.
Love it here. I picked my shift, and
I enjoy it. Great benefits (I pay 236 a PP for full family insurance PPO with dental and vision!) plus PTO, holidays, and never ever late pay with direct deposit. The staff is awesome and I love my platform.
She tries to be nice..gets picked on for a typo..(sm)
and SHE'S hateful? You people are too much.
if someone actually PICKED this name.. then they need to hire someone with brains... nm

FATCAT - Has your worked picked up?
I've read your posts for years and know you've been happy at MDI, as have I. My main account has FINALLY picked up this week. Was wondering if things have picked up for you as well. I'm breathing a huge sigh of relief and working as much as I can. FINALLY!
Has the workload at MDI picked up for anyone? My accounts are still really low. nt

If you think you dont get more of the junk work when it is picked over by VR or ASR you had better
think again. The best attendings will be gone to VR and you will get the leftovers. I have been doing both for a year and I can guarantee you your CEO is full of it. Dont believe a word of it. You will either make less money on ASR or less money on the leftovers. Take you choice.
Amen to that - I have years of exp but never felt picked on here. nm

It was slow on one of my accounts this summer but picked up. sm
If I were you, I would go to Karyn or Becky, not Martha. Both of them will help you. I think Martha is too busy with new hires but the other two are great with back-up accounts or at least getting the names in front of Martha. Just a friendly tip, not meant to offend or cause flames.
Have picked up a PT job on the side. Hoping all works well with WMX, but (sm)
not going to disappoint the grandchildren at Xmas and birthday times.
The only problem with picking up a PT job is you lose flexibility in making up hours/lines with WMX because you are otherwise obligated. Oh well, I don't think that can be considered my fault. I just don't want to use up my PTO because of it. Will they just let you take unpaid time if they run out of work during your window or do they make you use PTO or make it up?
Than mystery jobs randomly picked by mgmt.
bonuses/weekend/night shift differential is much rather preferred by me in the Dallas office than those jobs picked at random by "who knows who".
Good dictators end up on ASR so it can only get worse. My accounts are all picked over.
:
Same thing happened to me last year and when it picked up, it was crazy sm
For the rest of the year.
Tired: Has worked picked up at FN. Used to work there and left for WX. sm
Would kind of like to go back. Loved the gang; I used to be a YOGer. Had to leave about 1-1/2 years ago because of no work. Still mostly IC? Thanks.
Con: Overflow work is cherry-picked from the git-go by the account's inhouse MTs. nm

Do they pay extra for OT?
As if I needed any more incentive to apply to this company.
MQ--extra 2 cents
some offices offer extra money for typing after 3pm, after 10pm, week ends, and holidays, and some offices offer this without asking for it
Going the extra mile? sm
IMHO "going the extra mile" means working your BUTT off when your company has a backlog. Decent companies pay a bonus for doing that anyway. Then coast when work is low. If you fall into this cut throat mentality, you're not only hurting yourself but all MTs. It is possible for companies to balance their needs with the needs of MTs and I, for one, refuse to work for one who can't (or won't) do this.
Always work, usually all the extra you want too.
No special platform. Some accounts you can work in WP5.1 or Word, some just Word. Work is batched so no saving every report. The only demographics you have to enter is patient's name, all other automated. Daily QA feedback and QA is good overall. Use BOS generally, but not strictly - client dictates.
Direct deposit and pay is ALWAYS on time, even early on holidays usually. No charge for direct deposit.
If you are local can use C-phone, otherwise work is downloaded via FTP. They provide foot pedal/software but not computer.
IC positions only - but don't know rate. I've been with them since the beginning and am an employee. They pay based on gross line though, use Sylcount for line counts and no screwing around with your lines.
They aren't perfect, but most employees have been there since the beginning, little turnover. They leave you alone for the most part, no IM, no nasty e-mails, aren't calling every day for you to work extra, occasionally offer a bonus. Schedules are Sunday-Thursday or Tues-Sat, not clocking in.
do any of you do something extra on the side
My hands kill me just about every day now, and looking at my hands i have muscle breakdown and twitching, so i'd like to cut down on typing. Want to find something to do on the side to earn maybe 1000 to 1500 dollars a month. Was thinking about ebay, but i'm doubtful I could make that much, even though they hype up the advertisement by saying you could make 3000 MINIMUM. I'm just desperate and feel like my hands are about to fall off. I've spent close to 1000$ this year alone in keyboards, gloves, splints, doc visits, meds, changed my station around, hot soaks, cold soaks, exercises, stretches, vitamins. still my hands just sing every day esp at night. So any extra money earning ideas you guys? thanks
MDI is asking for MTs to do extra work
Honestly, I do not know where you are getting your info from. MDI is really busy, so that leads me to believe you do not work for us. If you want more work, please call me at the office (or you should have asked your TL). I sent out a mass e-mail Wednesday night asking for help, help and more help.
Hope you are making honest posts. If you are, then I really would like you to call me either at home or at the office. My home number is listed in TT (although most of my MT's have it already).
Thanks,
Liz
Extra Work!
Does anyone know of any MTSOs that use MTs p.r.n. or on our own time?
extra work
I'd be happy to share, just E-mail me. Am not that familiar what I can or cannot put on reply message
But can you work extra
hours if you need them in order to reach your line requirement?
can you do extra if work is available - nm
nm
would you happen to need someone to take the extra
I'd like to get some prn work, or even a bit extra each day, especially on the weekends. If your account would allow it, and depending on the manner in which the files would need to be played, etc, I'd be happy to help. Let me know if you'd like my email addy.
-sede-
Thank you..but no it only spaces an extra...
line between sentences. Instead of each line one under the other it actually adds an extra line space to double it but thank you anyway. I appreciate the help.
That is the BASE ... you get EXTRA for
shift differential, weekend differential, QA percentage differential, and line differential - FOUR on top of the base rate. If you don't work for TT you have no business chirping in. You get paid for holidays whether you are scheduled or not. You rotate Thanksgiving and Christmas, never both in one year. I have been around the MTSO block. Transtech is the BEST. Period.
Extra work at KS?
Do you have the opportunity to work extra at KS? If you do, do you get paid OT for it?
Extra job security, anybody do this?
I recently took on another job, this one part-time. I had been working for several months for a company that was constantly running out of work. This way I can always be sure there will be work in one place or other. I think in these economic times we have to protect ourselves. Anybody else do this? How does it work for you?
Yes, I just wanted a little extra job to help ...sm
because the work has been really slow the last couple of months where I am. But I don't hear anything. Most don't reply at all.
It means it does not pay extra for paragraphing,
underlining, bolding, new lines, etc., or any of the unseen characters or Keystrokes required to make a certain function, i.e., if you bold the word bold, it is 4 characters + 1 character after the word for the white space, but nothing for the control+B to make the word bolded, nor no keystroke for the space bar, as that is a white space.
This is a lot. When I worked for Transcend, I got a whole 0.025 extra for CMT. nm

There's no extra for that. It's just part of the job more and more lately. And the worst of th
s
Yup, and there's the extra hours gained
Gives nearly a whole extra day to get the work done because of the date/time line.
Mandatory extra hours?? How many?
nm
I should have said old hires used to get double; now all will get extra 4 cpl;
nm
they dont want extra, they wont take it.

Ask for extra work, they are probably willing to give it if it's there. nm
nm
You certainly deserve the extra for working 3rd. sm
I could never do it!!
Should get extra for 3rd shift 99% ESLs!...nm
Do you have the option of paying extra...
for fedex or UPS delivery? What's it like to QA there? I definitely could not afford to wait a week for my paycheck.
I wonder if this is the new pay plan coming out. How do you get the extra 2 cents. What do you have
to do for that.
Dental and vision are separate and extra. sm
I don't know how much, though, because I tossed the info on it as the provider list for the dental was SO LIMITED it wasn't even worth it, I couldn't get any dentist I wanted.
