Looks like they require everyone to work Saturday also. Not an issue for me but maybe for some.

Work schedules:
Full time: 1) Tuesday - Saturday
2) Monday-Thursday, and Saturday
Part time: To be determined but must include Friday or Saturday
As you can see from the above schedules, the transcription work increases at the end of each week.
Monday is our slowest day, and Friday and Saturday are our busiest days.

Saturday work
IC looking for Saturday work with a few hours during the week possible. I have 8+ years clinic transcription. Would be possibly willing to do ER notes. Thanks.
Saturday a.m. Anyone at TT have work?
Is it just me, or are there others out there without work this morning? Trying to get paycheck in because system goes down tomorrow night last day of payperiod again, and wanting to get lines. Is it just me? Thanks for letting me know either way... getting paranoid over here.
I work for every Saturday
I'm an IC, split shifts morning and evening hours during the weekdays. I have off Fridays and Sundays. I work third shift hours every Saturday for 8 hours, ending usually around 8 a.m. (or later if I choose to keep working). I earn a weekend differential when I reach 800 lines on Saturday and I don't have to share the work with any other MT, be micromanaged or interrupted.
With my regular cpl rate (which is above the norm offered by many MTSOs) plus weekend differential, it is well worth it to me to work overnight every Saturday morning.
The rest of Saturday is mine to spend with my kids as I please. I have been doing this for 2 years now and I actually prefer third shift hours.
I felt the same as you did about weekends and family. I had worked many years in a corporate setting prior to transitioning to MT over a decade ago. I always had weekends off. I wasn't about to sacrifice my weekend family time for any job, even if it is a job that allows me to work at home.
Trust me, it's not an easy schedule to keep and I do get tired come 7 p.m. Saturday, but being a single mother and sole supporter of 2 pre-teen boys, it works well for me. I have to do what I have to do to provide for the 3 of us. Saturdays allow me to earn more and seeing my earnings for that 1 day makes it well worth it for me to wake up at midnight every Saturday for work.
Best of luck to you. I hope you can find a position that allows you weekends off to spend with your family. I, like many other MTs, had to create a situation that would allow for both.
I work both Saturday and Sunday...
every single weekend. I have for many years. I have 1 child at home. How do I do it? I just do it. I do a lot of things in life that aren't easy, but I get by. I knew when I became an MT that I was entering the medical field, which does, contrary to what some people may believe, operate on a 24/7/365 schedule in most instances. People do get sick/injured on weekends. If you aren't satisfied with working weekends, your best bet is to find clinic work. Then, your only complaint may be the pay, which is generally lower than acute care because the work is considered easier. Oh, well, I guess you can't win.
They require that you work in house until your have clean QA for 3 paydays then you can work

Lots of work - I have NEVER had this issue

Trying to figure out this no work issue
What I'm about to say may be unpopular, but I feel I have to say it - hopefully it will be taken as encouragement for those who stay at MDI, or by MTs in general. I have not experienced this No Work Thing to the extent everyone seems to be at MDI. Of course I have seen accounts get slower and to a screeching halt of nothing. But, I get all of the lines I need every pay period because I have cross-trained on numerous accounts. The way MDI cross trains now, after you train on the account, you have to do a few reports on that new account for some 30 days so that you actually learn it. Now, I know this smacks of the MQ cesspool, but it is nothing like it, actually. MDI accounts are, for the most part, really good. Yes, when work is slow, switching accounts with different requirements, some totally opposite, is never easy and my productivity decreases. But, the point is, I am working and getting lines in, even if it takes me longer time in the day, during the famine that is the nature of the beast for the 25 yrs I have been MT-ing. Anyway, from my experience, 2 or 3 accounts is NOT enough. Go for more if you truly want to have work all of the time. I have not once not got my lines in and I do not EVER sit waiting for work to trickle in, and cross training is the only way I have found that this can be accomplished. This is a strategy I chose long ago that protects ME and enables me to get the lines I need. And, to top it off, MDI and all places I've ever worked value having MTs cross trained. I have never been turned down on requesting to cross train, but I do realize some of you have. That one, I can't respond to other than keep asking, as that is what C and D encourage us to do.
Just fyi...
I didin't specifically address the no work issue....sm
but I do agree with you that it is impossible to make a living when there is no work available. Perhaps it is anticipatory hiring, as you stated, or perhaps it is the normal ebb and flow of MT work, i.e., no work around holidays, etc. Whatever the reason, and I am not saying you are being unreasonable, we MTs know that this is sometimes the case with some of the companies. This is a feast or famine profession and we must make hay while the sun shines and anticipate the slow periods such as holidays and summer vacations. If a company truly has overhired, though, there is not much we can do about it unfortunately.
Does TransHealth require you to work one day sm
of every weekend (such as Tues-Sat or Sun-Thurs) or do they have M-F with rotating weekends? TIA 
With Webmedx they do require you to work
a schedule, though often there is no work so you have to flex. Some accounts have extremely tight TAT so it is necessary to work a set schedule, some accounts may allow more flexibility.
Does Medware require you to work holidays?
nm
Do all companies require you to work 1 year before you can take vacation?
Meaning you are an employee, of course. Just wondering if there is any hope out there. If you start with a company and it turns out horrible, then you have to start all over again, waiting for another year to go by. I don't want to wish my life away!!
Thanks everyone!
Lots of companies require you to work live in their
system and dial-up won't allow you to do that. Some companies ask for DSL/Cable so it is less taxing on their servers for people to download. I know there were companies who are okay with dial-up because you just download and then work off-line, but I think those numbers are dwindling.
They do require urine drug testing for sure, no matter what accounts you work on, theirs or a hospit

I got mine on Saturday
I got my stub in the mail on Saturday and it was availabe direct deposited into my bank and this was my first check! Hope this helps.
You should receive it Saturday. Sometimes

It IS Saturday. You might not here back from anyone until
s
YES, they do, all day Saturday and Sund

Saturday banking
Banks generally do not post anything (debits or credits) on Saturdays but if they do at all it would be debits not credits (they would make money this way). My bank is open on Saturday too for convenience but nothing is worked up until Monday morning as the 'main corporate' bank is the one that actually does the work.
It is DD and usually in my bank on Saturday before

They think if they post on a Saturday, we won't

got my check on Saturday
I am not worried--
Looking for a Saturday position
Does anyone know of a company that might take on an MT for Saturday work? I have a 40 hour job, but I would like to pick up some extra work PT for Saturdays as an IC. Thanks
No - I had worked Saturday through Wednesday
took Thursday/Friday off and tried to get back onto system Saturday and found myself totally locked out. I know there is a way to take your ID from the work queues and just give you access to your lines and completed work so this was totally unnecessary in my view. I seriously doubt it is legal to withhold that information from an MT.
PS This was Saturday the 15th, payday

It Saturday a.m. and still not working, anybody called it in?(nm)

Received mine on Saturday 2/2/08

My check from TransTech has never been on SATURDAY !
Something is definitely going on. I'll bet the new payroll person inhouse is doing payroll this pay period. The outsourcing company did such a good job for us MT's. Had to see it go.
Mine has always been in on Saturday and not before. Since payday is not until
TT has it's faults but they've never been a single day late on a paycheck and have paid early for holidays many times. I don't think they can be blamed for not paying us early.
Wasn't on Saturday, but some might be happy SM
to know that Enterprise has been upgraded a number of times over the past year alone, and the clunkiness has pretty much been nicely smoothed out. It's a good platform.
oops! should be "transcribing"..it's Saturday!! nm
if the paydate falls on Saturday
we got paid friday. if it fell on Sunday, we got paid on Monday. that's how it was where I worked. That is also how our bank takes our mortgage payment. If the due date is Saturday, they take it on Friday. If the due date is a Sunday, they take it on Monday.
Considering you initiated the process on a Saturday -- sm
...and there's often a somewhat implicit business hours (or days) when talking about turnaround times, personally I'd wait and if I didn't hear something tomorrow (Tues.) I'd give them a call on Wednesday. But that's just me.
KS just TODAY (Saturday) lost an sm
account. Very very hard account and all of a sudden we are not doing it anymore.
I have never had them call on my days off or anything and I am an older veteran MT. This account was stressful though.

Wow - are you the same mtMom I talked to Saturday on Gab board? sm
Either way - good for you! You have to take a break from this job sometimes. It has a way of making you lock yourself into your own little self-imposed prison without realizing it. I have taken breaks and I am back at it for a year now and I do get bored but not burned out yet ;-) I'm sure I will have to take another break some day. Email me if you want an email buddy ;-)
Getting afraid of waking up on Friday/Saturday
Every weekend now, a flurry of e mails how we better work the weekend or find something else. I am downright weary. What about all those times we did not have any work, or when there is no work when we are scheduled. Double standard here but not for the MT. When you say jump I need to ask how high. Sorry about this, but I am wanting to avoid my e mail come the weekend. The threats are just too much for my stomach.
No email of any kind here. Was off Friday and Saturday
not sure if I should stay up all night waiting for something or get some extra sleep!!
under new hire plan, Saturday/Sunday all day, 1cent more

Paid every other Monday. Mine is usually in the bank on Saturday. nm

That is so odd to me. I have never had an issue
making the line count and there has always been an overabundance of work since I've been there and they even ask regularly for us to work more if possible because there's so much work, and I don't work on C-phone accounts at all.
she had an issue with ...sm
anyone who had a brain because she was intimidated by truth and intelligence. She is driving that company into the ground. I feel bad for the blind eyes of the owner. That was a great company in its day, now all I see is a company that is going to sell or go belly up.
Do you have some issue?
Or do you just like to jab at anybody who has something positive to say?
I don't get it.
If I may, what is the issue
with the pay? Are they not standard paydays?
I think the issue is
that what started as a simple inquiry as to whether or not other people were also out of work quickly turned to bashing the company and personal bashing of management personnel. From what I gathered, half of the people doing the bashing were never employees. I honestly feel for the OP as I went 4 months making $25 a week if I was lucky at the end of my time with MQ (that was the longest holiday slow down in history). However, I have not had the same experience at MDI and actually am lucky enough to have an abundance of work at the moment. I don't know how Carlotta found out about the comments on here, nor do I care. I would imagine that since it is a public forum she may have run across it herself without an MT blabbing. I believe Carlotta's response was generally saying the issues/slamming in the subsequent posts were things that should be discussed with her, the liasons, and/or Dorothy.
QA issue
I went full through full QA and was released with above 99%. Additionally, I asked my QA for help regularly for help on some difficult dictators (for the future) and she always commented how throrough I was.
That was before the company changed hands, however, and all QA personnel changed.
pay issue
My pay has actually went up, not because of the VR necessarily, but because of DH getting laid off, and the need to work harder, not just meet line requirements (which was my goal prior to lay off). That is the reason I worked so hard at learning VR. I didn't want to starve (starvation is great motivator) 
Well, I'm sure you'll get over your issue with me
and you should stop adding the fuel, I think you are enjoying yourself
