I would say Monday should be the telling SM

In Reply to: If your company hasn't paid you come payday and - how bout this
day. If there is no pay and no indication of when you'll be paid, I'd get out of there FAST and also post the name of the company. They've had plenty of time to correct their supposed **error*** cough...with the payroll company.

Believe it or not, Monday it will be there!

That's okay! LOL it *is* Monday!
Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately I didn't have a choice in quitting my other job, work was just gone, so that's just added to the stress. I considered looking for another PT position to tide me over, but then Murphy's Law might dictate I had waaay too much to do and/or get confused with two sets of rules and platforms. I might have to, though, if I can't get work soon.
I startnew job Monday.
Today, I still do not have any work. My CSC center said sent a bulk email for MTs out of work to call the office and other centers will have work. WELL!!! that is enough for me and I have accepted my new job and start Monday.
Well, I am an Ex-Transcender as of Monday. sm
I was disillusioned as you. I am an acute care MT with 20+ years of experience and it just was not for me. Although, I have to tell you that the production management team were awesome to work with up front; however, I didn't like the behind the scenes action like changing my worktypes without telling me, as well as consistently running out of acute care work.
For example, if you work primarily on er reports and the discharge summaries are behind, they will just take the er dictations out of your queue and you will discharge summaries for a week straight, and they don't even bother to tell you, hey the ds are backed up and we put some in your queue. There is nothing wrong with keeping the account in TAT, but give us, the MTs, the respect of telling us.
Also, the ES accounts are a total rip-off. Taking 20 and 30% off the line count is a totally stealing from us MTs. Personally, I had a huge problem with it once I saw that it amounted to $500 out of one paycheck. That really sucked bigtime!
Let me ask you - if you are an acute care MT and was given boring clinic work or doctor letters to do all day every day, would you be happy when you were hired for "basic 4 acute care work".
These are just a few major reasons why I am gone.
Good luck to those who have stayed and I hope you are happy. To each his/her own!
If you started on Monday you are probably still on
full QA and that would explain the reason for low workload. I have been with them for 7 years so I can attest to their integrity and consistency. However, please feel free to e-mail and let me know what account you are working, as I know one account asks you to assign how many minutes you want per day and the other is an open pool, as I would prefer not to discuss specific accounts in an open forum.
My my new days is now Monday, so
I was off yesterday. It's not a bad day to have off since work is so often low on Mondays. And now my start time isn't until 11:00 on Tuesday, so hopefully it will have built up now that it's time to work.
Wow - that was weird. Let me know if you can read this note. I kept typing all the words right the first time, as if I had a stroke or something! Hope not!
Webmedx does, every other Monday, DD. sm
Never late, always accurate.
Sorry, DUH, I get it now, sorry to be so slow, it's Monday! Nm

I get mine on Monday. (nm)

I got mine Monday by Fed-Ex-nm

Interview Monday sm
Would be interested in hearing what their expectations, platform, etc. are if you would be willing to share. My biggest question, obviously, is pay as I do not want to take a cut in this..but that is something I will find out Monday. Just curious about general info on the company. When did you interview? The recruiter said my e-mails were bouncing back to him undeliverable so maybe it is on their end??
Not yet but hopefully soon. Wonder if anyone we will hear anything before Monday when the new HR
person starts. 
Sunday and Monday
I'm not on the schedule with any of them on Sunday, Monday I only work for one of them. I took the third job because it's a specialty I like and want to do more of. I'm trying to decide which direction to go in - certainly don't want to work this much indefinitely.
Sorry, Monday morning
I could not find any posts on this company.
March 17, then every other Monday after that
.
no work for a Monday--- never
happens where I work! I was wanting to have Sundays and Mondays off, but we have a lot of work leftover from the weekend!
Monday-Friday
I wish that people who get into this profession would understand that hospitals operate 24/7/365. My daughter is a registered nurse and does not demand a m-F schedule and YES she does have children. You got into this profession because of having kids at home and wanting to be a stay at home mommy. Well, 30 years of experience under my belt and most of the companies that I have spoken with allow me to work the hours that I want to work because of the fact that in general, I put in 12 hour days and even work weekends and dont take a day off unless I need to, due to illness or whatever and also, due to the fact that if I do have an emergency, I let someone know in advance and just not refuse to work
I have an interview Monday, 700/day sm
I'm not really thrilled about having to work a weekend day, but I need to supplement my FT job.
Payday is Monday and that is when I sm
anticipate being paid. My check is always there on Monday, never sooner. You are lucky your bank floats it sooner. Most banks don't.
Monday was very slow because of it
being the end of the pay period. Yesterday and today only out of work about 15 minutes.
as you can see, no one else is telling theirs either-sm
and they don't want anybody jumping on their bandwagon's either. They were very quick to mention who they had bad experiences with, but no one is telling who they are happy with, other than for the sarcastic MQ and Diskriter.
You just don't know - I'm telling you ..........
they'll hate it.
keep telling yourself that
over and over until you really believe it; say it like a mantra. There is nothing wrong with talking about what is going on as this affects current MTs and could potentially affect many other MTs. I am willing to keep an open mind as well as it seems others who have posted are as well; however, one cannot just look at one side of the story. There are questionable things.
She might be telling it like it is but...
I am sure there is a much more polite way of saying it. I know I wouldnt appreciate be spoken to in that manner.
Always telling us at OSI they will do this
NM
? Why are you telling us this?
I mean, good luck. I just do not understand your attitude and why you are making this huge statement about your big decision to stay and telling us when you plan to work, etc.
Maybe you are directing this to someone in particular and I didn't catch it.
Thanks for telling me how to do this.
I do not have much experience doing zipped files. Anyway I will try what you said. Sounds easy enough. Again thank you.
Right. Just keep on telling yourself
Repeat it over and over again. I'm sure you can convince yourself with a little practice.
Why are they telling you they will be out
I would refer all of these to the supervisor. This is not part of your job.
But telling somebody to look for another job
is more or less avoiding to confront the issue all together, and throw out the bath with the child in it.
Telling you it was not a lie
Well, there is an old saying that if certain people's lips are moving, you know they are lying.....Just sayin'. If the shoe fits, wear it and if not, it plain old don't fit.
You may want to call and ask them directly on Monday...
but I believe it depends on the way you were hired. If you are an hourly employee, your PTO would be paid at that rate. If you are production based, your PTO rate is paid at your average production over a period of three months. You must maintain a minimum line count though. Rochelle would know better.
Thanks...I start training on Monday. :) NM

I got mine today (Monday). nm

Yes, tomorrow is payday at TT, every other Monday. nm

....and I have a phone interview Monday!
That was fast!!!
Thanks! They are calling me to talk to me on Monday! SM
I'm very excited! I'm looking to move from Keystrokes to MDI, or at least drop down to part-time at Keystrokes and be full-time with MDI since they seem so great, and the recruiter was very, very nice! What type of platform do they use? Do you have to submit a time sheet at the end of the pay period?
I start w/ Keystrokes Monday after
7 1/2 years with MQ, and am way excited to have ONE account, to be no longer drowning in the cesspool!! Anyone thinking about MQ, better keep thinking. Better yet, start RUNNING the other way, fast. 
The intranet will be down until Monday morning. sm
The upgrade pulled the system down but it will be back up by Monday morning.
Could it possibly have anything to do with being a HOLIDAY on Monday? nm

Monday-Friday, First Shift?
Does anyone know of companies that have accounts with Monday to Friday, first shift positions? Personal obligations do not allow me to work weekends or evenings and so many companies want this. If I could do it I would, but it is not possible, and they all seem to want weekends and second or third shifts. I really need to find something. Any help greatly appreciated.
And the first thing Monday morning sm
the coffers are empty and you spend considerable time flexing your hours.
I am hoping for Friday but it could be Monday. sm
The pay period just ended yesterday. With over 400 employees it might be difficult to get it all done by Friday but I sure am crossing my fingers!
would you mind telling me (sm)
this Cindy-person's last name. You can E/M me if you want, in fact, I'd prefer it that way. I worked for a Psycho Maniac named Cindy before, and wonder if they're the same person!
gapeachxx@yahoo.com...thanks a bunch! 
She's telling the truth about this one. It is
terrible, no work, system is out of order a few times a day, and they just hire more and more people when the accounts have no work on them.
Well, they are not telling the truth! sm
I was offered an incentive package to stay with them and that was on eScription! I turned it down and left anyway. Prefer working for Americans!
Not to flame but telling me I don't
Thank you for mentioning things in your latest post that you left out of your first. See how easily one can jump to conclusions?
For what it is worth, I ran my own daycare for 10 years. I know EXACTLY what it is like to be the one responsible for every aspect of running a business day in and day out, when people don't show up or go to lunch and don't come back, having to meet laws from varies state agencies that are contrary to one another and smile the whole time. I've started work at 5 in the morning and finished at 9 at night (while trying to raise my own two young children). I know what it is like to cook for 95 kids EVERY day for a year because I couldn't keep good help. I know that until I converted all my private investment into a nonprofit organization, I could not achieve the success with my business that I was able to do. Imagine working for 10 years and having NOTHING left of it but a good reputation, no retirement plan, no assests, nada, because the effects you left on people and the benefits you offered were worth all of it. Would you be willing to do that? Not many would, I bet.
When you want to yell at me some more and show your true colors, you will turn away the good MTs whom you were trying to entice in your original post. See how easy it was to fly off the handle.
I do wish your business well, but I stand by what I said. I save you money by working from home and doing what I do. Every year I get devalued by the onslaught of forces I cannot control. If you want to toot your own horn, I would suggest a marketing consultation next time.
Peace.
Are you telling me that they only have the one account?
xx
Good for you for telling it like it is (sm)
I work for a smaller MT company who, like the employer of the previous poster, seems to want to keep their MTs in the dark about what's going on behind the scenes. However, reading between the lines and according to the grapevine our company recently was apparently outsourcing some work to the Philippines, and apparently, when the hospital found out, they were livid! The MTs were also upset, as this was one of our best accounts, the kind that make the other slog work worthwhile - and they handed it over to the Philippines...well, recently, we all of a sudden had a whole lot of this account's work available once again - my guess is, no more Philippines! I hope this means the hospital issued an ultimatum - and this means they appreciate our work and understand that you get what you pay for.
