Working weekends and holidays
Thanks, I'd like to think of myself as a nice person. Unfortunately, the place I work at is a local clinic doing nephrology work. Have you tried locally, maybe you could find something where you wouldn't have to work weekends. And oh, yes, it is paid vacation. After 5 years I get 5 weeks. I have great benefits and a 401K plan, so I'm very thankful.
Maybe, but she specifically says no weekends or holidays
Didn't want her to waste her time when I know one day per weekend is a requirement where we work. Figured she was better off with a company that would accommodate her needs.
Are you requied to work weekends and/or holidays
xx
I don't work weekends or holidays. MT FOR 10 YEARS
NM
My MT job doesn't require holidays or weekends
So I feel incredibly lucky. Not all MT's have to or want to work holidays. It's just a matter of finding the right match.
It is refreshing to see Job Posts offering 10.5 cpl and 12 cpl on weekends and Holidays. sm
On the job board, SA Wynn Inc is hiring and sound pretty decent. The pay sounds great compared to the others. Go for it!
I know nothing about them, as I am on the East Coast, but I was happy to see the line rates going up from 7 cpl from the other posts.
transcend and differentials, weekends, nights, holidays
what does Transcend pay for these, anyone know?
Working holidays/weekends? I would certainly hope you are committed to
your convictions. Many people do not work holidays but it is not always a choice. If you do not want to work weekends or holidays, but the work must get done. If you are anti-working holidays and weekends, then I hope you do not expect to receive medical care or emergency treatment of any kind, that you do not shop or buy anything on weekends/holidays, do not attend any type of functions where employees must work to create a good environment for you to enjoy your life, do not go to movies, do not go out for dinner, etc. Did you ever think that these people may not want to have to work just to make your life sweet? What hypocrits.
Oops! Meant to say above 'evenings and weekends,' although it happens on holidays too.
Sorry. Just worn out right now.
Holidays - Is there any company who pays holidays?
Are there companies (like in the old days) who pay you for Christmas, NY, Thanksgiving, etc., MAJOR HOLIDAYS?
MQ same situation. No pay for working holidays, no pay for working weekends nothing. Now noone works
much anymore and so they jerk the work out of the accounts to some place that throws it back with a lot of bad bad quality. This is the NE region. I dont know what the others are doing.
They try to stay in TAT, even on weekends (as they should) Good company.

If you are very good, the company accommodates you so you don't work weekends

Looking for paid holidays with a company. n/m

Another nat'l (smaller sized) just announced they
are going to voice recognition very soon. Pay now 3-4 CPL. I quit MQ for this. I could cry.
I made that working for a national...O/T, weekends...no live, now no O/T or weekends(sm)
so no more big bucks, at least from them...looking for second job to make ends meet, don't have husband to help...this sucks.
I work for a mid-sized MTSO and have 24-hr TAT, its great!
Ever notice how small & medium-sized MT companies - sm
are going the way of the dodo (and family farms), only to be replaced by huge, corporate McTranscription companies? The Wal-Martization of medical transcription is a step backwards for discreet, high-quality medical records.
(American MT) -   - (McTranscription)
My company only acknowledges 6 holidays per year, and Easter isn't one of them, so no extra pay.

Different company but no slow down, swamped but we were before holidays. Nice having work..
What I mean is, to be paid for holidays, even if you dont work. Major holidays.
Sorry. What I mean is, to be paid for holidays, even if you dont work. Major holidays.
Very few MTSOs pay for holidays. Some give you 6 days you can use for holidays or regular PTO, but

TransTech and Medware, are these companies considered large, medium-sized or small companies? (sm)
TIA
Weekends?
And no, I don't work weekends, only if I want to get on the OT or the incentives.
Weekends
You work in the medical field, which is a 365-day-a-year business. Why would you expect that you would not have to work on weekends? The hospitals that provide the work that provides us a paycheck expect their charts back in the contracted time. If you aren't willing to help provide that service, then either get out of the field or find your own physicians to contract with so that you can set your own hours.
Weekends
I worked weekends for the Harpy MTSO and OT whenever it was needed. Did she appreciate it? No. I happen to like working weekends! An oddity, I know, but I AM a professional.
DSG used to have no weekends. Don't know about now. nm

Weekends
Almost every company out there now requires a weekend day....and GIMT is soooo flexible..you are not HELD to certain hours. Get them in when you can that day and everyone is happy.
Weekends at TT
I have just recently started at TT and was told I had the choice of Sun-Thur or Tue-Sat; when asking for M-F, they laughed. Also, their ads say Tue-Sat and Sun-Thur. What gives?
Weekends
Except if my memory is correct you did not have to commit to a set schedule for the weekend as long as you covered your 20% line commitment.
no weekends
No way do I want to work weekends. Is it really required or are they flexible?
weekends
I only did M-F. I know someone else who just started with them and will only do M-F.
weekends
when I worked there you either did Tues-Sat or Sun-Thurs. Or if you wanted Monday-Friday, you did every fourth weekend. Only fair in this business.
weekends
It used to be people were hired with a 2 weekend days a month requirement. Now they are hiring on Tues-Sat or Sun-Thurs schedules (as are most companies). It sounds like the info packet hasn't reflected that change. Probably best to clarify your future schedule with the recruiter or your supervisor.
Weekends......
Check with FutureNet. I work weekend option there, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and have more work that I know what to do with. They are always needing extra help on weekends. Pay is good too and people are super-nice.
To Weekends Off
Thank you for that positive feedback. If you would be willing to share the names of these companies I would appreciate it and you could contact me by e-mail.
To No Weekends Here
If you would you be willing to share the name please e-mail me. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
weekends
If you don't want to work weekends, shouldn't have picked the medical field. Maybe you should try a doctor's office, though most of them these days are open on Saturday.
I love working 1 weekend day and having 1 day off during the week to myself. That's my sanity day.
There are plenty of ways to work a weekend day and still have time for family. It might take some creativity on your part but it can be done.
OPs, weekends, as an IC... 7 cpl.
That's equivalent to roughly 4-5 cpl as an employee with benes. It takes years to become a good MT. I can't believe the low pay rates posted lately.
Weekends
The account I'm on, because it is a clinic account, tends to be done for the week usually by Saturday night. Occasionally there will be a backlog and work available on Sunday, but that's rare.
I don't know about the acute care accounts. I would assume that they would need people on the weekends- that type of account usually does. They started me at .0875 cpl which is just fine for my needs and expectations.
I don't know about the not getting a response. I got a response from them right away last year when I applied, so I'm not sure what that's about.
TT weekends
I work 4 hr/day Sun-Thur by choice. Some work Tue-Sat and others rotate weekend days.
The weekends
We have always had busier days on Thursday and Friday but this is waaaaay busier. Of course, people could be on vacations, etc. as well. It is summer. It just seems funny that there is NO work for three days and then a ton of it.
Weekends?
Just curious...what is the typical weekend requirement for Transcend? Also, how strict is your scheduling? Those really are my main concerns at this time.
Weekends
It does help somewhat, but I'm really just wondering if they do require 1 weekend day per week. I don't mind working every other, but absolutely cannot do 1 weekend day per week. I guess I'll have to wait until the first of the year. Thanks for answering though!
Weekends...
Thank you. That's what I needed to know. We do a lot of camping on the weekends, or we did anyways, usually every other weekend. So, there is no way this is going to work for me. Like I said, I have no problem with working every other weekend, but if I have to work one weekend day per week, I'm either going to have to sell our camp or find another job. This is depressing.
more $ for night and weekends
0.005 per line from 6 pm to 11 pm. from 11 pm to 6 am 0.01 per line. How the heck can we keep track of this stuff? More time will be spent calculating the time sheet than earning it!!
Yep, I can see for me that weekends and OT will go by the wayside. nm

weekends and stuff
Actually, when you get your little chart to fill in (24 hours, 7 days) it clearly has marked the hours where there is a shift differential. You could choose to work ONLY during those hours if you want. There will still be incentives and bonuses. The bottom line is, the jobs will still need transcribed and SOMEONE has to do it.
Some may want to work weekends. A lot don't.
for that rate of compensation. There was a time 10 cpl was average to below-average rate working Monday through Friday. Then it started changing to working at least one weekend day to make that kind of rate. Now it's the whole weekend, EVERY weekend on nothing but ESLs just to make that kind of rate. I'm not the OP, but I think that might be part of the complaint when s/he says it's a bit rigorous and might be time to leave.
I believe they do have rotating weekends available. sm
 It would be worth contacting them to find out for sure.
Amphion- no weekends?
I'd like to hear from someone who currently works for Amphion . I recently completed testing with them. How is the scheduling done...is it really Monday thru Friday?
What is the cost of single coverage insurance? What company is the medical coverage with? How is the work flow? How long did it take for you to receive equipment after being hired?
