I am a single mom, have over 25 years' experience and have to take those times... you know this is a 24/7 business and although I have to give up prime life time of leisure at these times, I figure the patient needs me, and so does my boy... so I have time off during the week during the day after I rest to do things... and guess what, I live on a lake near the beach... good luck to you!

weekend nights are actually the
slowest on my accounts. I try to get 1/2 my lines in before lunch and then check back in the early evening to finish up. If I wait too late, the work's all gone. Sometimes I can't get my lines in the morning, either, because the work isn't there. It's really hit or miss.
For the most part I work around it, but I don't live around it. If I don't get my lines, I don't get them. I have a second income that really helps out. I think it's best not to put all your eggs in 1 basket. You never know when that basket is going to break.
Not sure, may be willing to for nights and W/E.
No nights unless you want them at Amphion

No work at nights
I used to try to get my lines in the early morning before my kids got up, but there is absolutely no work in the mornings. So now I try to work during the day some, but have to wait till evenings when hubby gets home, and there is NO work at nights. On Sundays, my accounts are very low. Tired of this. In the process of job hunting.
BTW, I seriously doubt it will get better after Labor Day. It will only get worse going into the holidays.
Amphion does not have nights or weekends
People do complain about data entry which they are not paid for but that is for basic 4.
You could ask if they have radiology or clinic which maybe a different setup. They do use Dictaphone Extext.
You don't have to work nights or weekends unless you want to.
That is exactly what I did. I know they hire PT nights and weekends. sm
I started that way and within 3 months moved to FT. They are not perfect for everyone, but I really love my job and hope that you find what works best for you!
Another person who works nights, hello!

I have One in school but work nights
As it just works out better overall. No kids, phone calls, et cetera. Sleep deprived?? Yes, most of the time!! LOL
work weekends or nights.

Re: working weekends and nights
I already do work Saturdays and nights (or try to, but it's a little hard when there is no work). I do not work on Sundays. It is my only day for my family to be together. I work six days (or nights as the case may be) a week as it is. Saturdays and nights are fine and I am happy to work them, but no work then, either. But there is also no work early mornings, hardly any during the day, almost none at night. It is as if it has all evaporated??????? I remember when all three of my accounts were plentiful and I could work as much as I wanted whenever. I do not mind flexing my schedule, but there is just no work no matter which way I flex it. What happened?
Yes, it's true you do not have to work weekends/nights
They let you choose your own work schedule when you start. They use Dictaphone with Word. It takes a bit of patience to get used to what you're supposed to do as far as finding the right visit or if the doctor inputs the wrong work type, etc., but as a program in general, it's simple to use.
I work nights for Heartland. Overnights. sm
I have two kids and going to school full time. I never asked for a 8-5 schedule like most MTs and I don't ask for M-F either. I have to work nights to get shift differential to SURVIVE.
What a rude stance to take. I'm sorry you feel that way. I hope your job is never pulled from under you.
No they don't. There is slight increase for evenings and nights;
xx
Me work days, nights and weekends?
No I have worked so long at this now only work part-time and no more slaving like in years past.
transcend and differentials, weekends, nights, holidays
what does Transcend pay for these, anyone know?
Do you work evenings or nights? If so TT has plenty of work
It is not that TT has no work, it is that everybody wants banker's hours. What do you expect?
A great company You'll be lucky to get in though,
Work is slow right now like it always is near the holidays. They have extremely affordable benefits, and once you are established there, they seem like they are willing to work with you if you need to change your schedule.
I'm free this weekend. I think I'll do the same!

Even if you're FT, you'll be lucky to have enough work to get your lines,

Ypsi Twp here. Ford Lake. nm

Are they located in Lake Charles?
Is the contact persom a Mrs. Mouton?
I'll love to know who you work for. I also work every weekend with no extra pay.
It'd be nice to get paid for all the nights and weekends I work.
A 3-day weekend every weekend? Wouldn't that be nice. Good luck with that!..nm

Lucky You ... I was not so lucky to work with that platform
Meditech - it was awful. I kept getting promised that my account was going to ChartMatrix, but it never happened and the Meditech system was SO slow. I loved TH, the people, etc. - so if you can get an account that is on ChartMatrix - hop on it. But, avoid the accounts that are on Meditech because I don't think they are EVER going to convert (and I waited quite awhile - couldn't take it any more).
If you'll read through past posts you'll find lots of
recent info. Why do you need menitoring if you already work as an MT. Unless you do clinic work most companies will require you to work at least one weekend day, at least initially.
Are you on straight typing or VR/typing?

If you'll read the archives you'll find out everything
you want to know, none of it good.
Probably figure you'll want Way more than they'll offer, whatever it might be. :) nm

If you'll read more carefully you'll see
I was referring to AFTER she's missed out on a job, having a friend do sort of an audit to tell her what what was wrong with her test she submitted -- not cheating.
Lucky you.
Not OP, been here years and leaving shortly.
lucky you
you guys are lucky to be working. i need a job. just relocated to NC.
if you are really lucky you can

I wish I was that lucky!!! I pay $900/mo

consider yourself lucky
It's better you find out how horrific the communication is now than waste your time getting hired/quitting your other job, and them jerking you around.
Take it from someone who knows EXACTLY where you are coming from.
Well, you must be lucky...sm
Like the poster below, it took me 6 weeks to get my first check. Two weeks worth of work invoiced on the 1st was not paid until the 27th. That is beyond a long wait for 1 paycheck. Also, while I knew I would not be paid for headers/footers working in Extext, I was quite surprised when I got my check and 30% of the total line count was deducted. Considering the headers/footers only accounted for 5 to 6 lines a report, they were ripping people off big time. What excuse could they have for not sending someone a paycheck?
Lucky you!
I just emailed the payroll person to see about why the check I got was wrong and she says she only issues the check and she can't help me with any issues. I just would love a straight answer from someone and for someone to step up and do what is needed.
Your one of the lucky ones
I am no longer an IC for TTS nor will I ever be again or will i EVER refer anybody to her dungeon. LK has a serious problem with favoratism. If you are one of her goody two shoes that she not only pays on time but gives them all the good work, (cuz yes, she does cherry pick herself and give her favorites the good work so they can make more money) then you don't have any problems. Fortunately but yet unfortunately for me, I was one of those people that she Cherry picked for and when I got paid I got paid well, but I can't live on a not knowing when I was going to get paid. This is not a new problem for TTS. This has been ongoing since February of about 2 or 3 years ago, I can't remember what the year was.
There is no doubt that TTS has GREAT accounts, a GREAT platform, and LK does know how to take care of systematic problems, but she doesn't know how to run a business professionally, unless you are one of her favorites!
How lucky you are?
You must not work for a national!
Lucky?!
Your lucky! I worked for On-Point MTs and am owed $1400.00 that I will probably never see because the owner stole all the money her MTs earned...
I have a bounced check from one of the payments I recieved and never recieved payment for that or any of the other work I did for her.
Stay away from On-Point now and in the future. Her name is Bawnie Bartlett and her husband is Aaron Bartlett.
I would say you got very lucky! nm

Lucky you
A lot of us did have problems getting paid. There was not always plenty of work either. Sometimes we did run out.
Lucky you....
My emails are never answered. Maybe I should use your name in my subject line in order to get a reply.
Consider yourself lucky
We still have autumn leaves.
LUCKY!
You are so lucky! I have to drive what I can pay for. You are fortunate to have such a generous husband. :)
Lucky you, we are all not so lucky.

Boy you are lucky! (sm)
I can crank out 500 lines an hour but there's no place I've found that allows me to do that. Sure I can do 1000 lines a day and make $20+ but if I only work 2 hours, 3 max, that's only $60 a day and no where near coming close to making $8000-$9000 a month.
If I could make HALF that a month, I'd shut up and type. I'd be in heaven and I'd never gripe about my life/job/bills again!
I'm lucky if I make that in 6 months. You are definitely NOT the norm and I'd hate for people to think that you're making a normal average salary ... the work pool would be saturated and those of us with 16+ years experience and in a normal crappy MT situation would be even worse off.
I hope you count your blessings every day because there are tons of us who wish we were in your shoes!
Lucky?
Gal! Please don't fall for this. Sounds like a bunch of hype to me. Telling you that you are lucky? This is is the jargon of a company who knows it's an employer's market and, believe me, once they get you, they will use you up and discard you without looking back! You will be using your equipment, financial resources, and knowledge to line their pockets. Run the other way.
and you are lucky she does
If she didn't and took all she could, you might be the one who ends up with nothing. Gee, maybe she should go ahead and take it all.
You don't know how lucky you are
Rudeness is their game.
I just got VERY lucky...
I was responding to multiple ads on the job seekers board and MDI happened to have a position listed. I wasn't hired for that one, though. They actually take the time to read your resume in detail and find a perfect fit for you; in my case, the position they offered me wasn't yet advertised. I consider myself very fortunate.
Be patient when you apply. There is a lengthy telephone screening process and once you start, you are limited to 5 reports per day (yes, their QA program is that thorough). I was on a 5 reports/day limit for the first week or so.
The upside to this approach is that you have time to get very comfortable with their formatting and style, and you can use the extra time to load up your Expander so when they cut you loose, you're ready to hit the ground running.
Good luck to you. I honestly cannot say enough positive things about this company.
You are one lucky...
gal (or guy) to have found something so easily and quickly and that sounds just perfect. I like the 12-hour window.
