Ditto to Queenie. My accounts have Overtime as well. Don't spread lies. sm
You need to ask for more work or another account. I have NEVER run out of work, but, I also have 15 accounts in my profile. Don't complain about running out of work when you can ask for more and get more.
who's crying??????

For crying out loud
Why would you wait for weeks - are you new to this industry?
This is COMMON practice and I don't care how big or small the company is... Many are just advertising for clients they HOPE to get soon - many are poorly organized and/or UNDERstaffed for administrative purposes.
Make it a rule to apply for MANY jobs at once; you'll be lucky if two are hits and then you can choose the best fit for you.
Always ask up front: Do you tie payment for work done to payment received by your client?
Is this opening immediate or for the future?
If you ask the right questions up front and they don't perform, start sending more resumes ASAP.
Take it from someone who learned the hard way.
You're the one who came here crying.
Boohoo, poor you, aren't making enough money at $21/hour. I can understand you not wanting to read this crap. You're not even happy getting $21/hour to read crap, so reading this for free must be doubly painful. Enjoy your box.
I'm crying over here laughing so hard
no message so you don't have to bother looking inside the post. I thought same thing when I first got here...thought boy is this NM lady annoying. LOL!
For crying in the corn. I had to chuckle at that.
Thank you for making me smile.
Nice holiday spirit. For crying out loud.....
This is still a democratic country, is it not? Why is it that if people don't agree with YOU or the bandwagon cheerleaders for a company, they get bashed? I worked at TT and found it to match all of the complaints that are read on here. That doesn't mean it's not a good company - just not a good company for ME (and others, by the way). CHILL..................
And stop buying foreign cars for crying out loud. sm
Look at the 10s of thousands of workers who are being laid off from GM and Ford after giving decades of their lives. Thanks to all you people who buy foreign cars. 
Get off your high horse for crying out loud. She did not mention that it was a transcription company

Employee assistance is available to support all staff and their family members at no cost. This confidential service addresses a variety of issues that may affect the quality of your work or personal life including stress, depression, anxiety, grief and relationship conflicts
Maybe YOU should do some research before you jump all over somebody. WHen a person just mentions a name, it doesn't necessarily mean a transcription company.
I guess you live in a vacuum! Search this board, for crying outloud! SM
A couple of weeks ago there were several former JLG employees posting how they were fired from doing SR and were not even offered MT positions! I'm not trying to hide anything and I don't appreciate you insinuating I'm a liar!

What is MQ considering overtime? sm
Is it anything over 39 hours? Or if you are PT is it anything over what you have committed to work (ie 16 hours a week?).
Anything over 40 is overtime
must be approved. Same as when I worked for a VERY large company, it's time and a half but must be approved. MedScribe does not limit the number of lines you can type but if you work on your day off you have to email first.
Overtime
Yes, we have been on mandatory overtime for many months. The money is always nice, but it does wear you out.
overtime
How much mandatory OT for the part-time employees? I already work full time.
Overtime
They require at least 1 hour per day.
Overtime
This thread in the Transtech bashing is by far the most ridiculous I have seen to date. It is just as ridiculous as a Wal-Mart employee saying, hey I need to make some extra bucks, I'm going to put in some overtime. Think they would pay for unauthorized overtime? For those who are so unhappy at TT, why don't you spend the time you spend on these message boards sharpening up your resume and go somewhere where you can be happy and leave the rest of us alone? As a TT employee myself, I would never dream of just deciding I wanted to put in overtime and then expect the company to pay for overtime whether it was justified or not. And justification of overtime is NOT that you can't get the required lines in your allotted hours!! Perhaps if the collective we stayed off these boards and actually applied ourselves to working, we wouldn't have to worry about putting in overtime either on or off the clock!! Go ahead and report your whines to the labor board, you won't get anything but do remember you can't throw mud without getting mud on yourself.
I don't get overtime either
What I've been told is it all works out in the end. I get paid if I don't have any work on a given day and I get paid if I finish my work in less than 8 hours, then again there are times when I work extra hours to finish up my work when it's a particularly busy week. This week is very slow so I've actually only worked six hours the past four days but I still get paid for a 40 hour week.
It's not actually overtime - sm
When we work the 3 holidays for MDI-MD they are generally on a regular work day, so we are not working overtime so to speak, only our regular committed number of lines. I consider working 3 holidays to be fair in exchange for having the other 3 holidays off. Workloads on holidays are generally pretty light anyway, and you have the whole 24-hour day to get your lines done, so you can work around your personal needs for the day.
I've being doing a lot of overtime and have been on -

Mandatory overtime
Yes as of a few months ago when I was there they had mandatory overtime. I think it is better for a company to offer incentive. Mandatory overtime is on a par with home slave.
no, getting overtime 2 weeks out of 4.
nm
Better ask if they still have mandated OVERtime!! nm
s
Can anyone say if they still have Mandatory overtime??? nm
s
Mandatory overtime would keep me FAR away from them. nm

I put in 5 hrs. of overtime last week, and
 That's the last time I bust my butt for nothing but chump change! I could make more standing on a street corner with a cardboard sign...........
be grateful you actually have overtime
I'd give anything to be paid for overtime at my job - I get the same base hourly rate, regardless of how many hours I work, so be happy you have the opportunity to make extra instead of complaining about it.
You do understand, don't you, that Ƌ hrs.' overtime
a lot more than that in actuality. We're paid by the line, not the hour. We can only put so many hrs. on our time logs based on how much lines we type. So in order to get '5 hours' worth' of lines, I had to work roughly 10 extra hours, over and above what I normally work.
Sorry if I didn't make it entirely clear. But that IS chump-change, and I was a chump for working my @$$ off all night for it.
So, how does it work into overtime?
Since you have all the facts, please explain.
I can work all I want, but don't get paid overtime. I don't
have to clock in so I don't know how they would know how many hours I worked anyway.
a question about overtime and the legality of this...
I am an hourly employee. How can a company get away with not paying time and 1/2 for OT ?? just paying however many hours worked as hourly pay? i am fearful of losing my job to even ask them but i've been with them for 5 years now with no OT pay
Overtime out my ears at WebMedX (sm)
I get 9 cents a line and there's a tiered incentive plan. It's something like 150-160 lph they add 0.5, 160-170 lph they add 0.75. The top is 300 lph, where they add 2 cpl. I've consistently earned the top incentive pay, making great money.
I was a little worried the work would get low when I saw all the ads lately, but maybe the ads are because they got new accounts. It gets maybe a teensy bit light around the holidays (like 5 minutes without work). I have tons of backup accounts and almost every day I have the opportunity for overtime.
I'm a FT employee with benefits. I'd rather have someone else take care of finding accounts, setting up benefits, etc. Couldn't be happier, really.
They used to have mandatory overtime. Can anyone address this? nm
s
Used to start off at 7.4 cpl and they had Mandatory Overtime! Don't know

Question about Amphion overtime
I have been with Amphion a couple of months only and hardly getting used to their system. I have been told to do mandatory overtime a lot and this is messing up my scheduled with picking my kids up etc. I have to make other arrangements to pick up my kids. What is the best way to get out of mandatory overtime. I never worked for a company with mandatory overtime, it was always my choice. They said no nights or weekends in the beginning and then they go and pull these shenanigans. 
Why has Amphion overtime been stopped?
I was thinking of applying with them mainly because of that. Like the person asked below has the overtime policy changed or are they just caught up?
What other job would you work overtime and not get overtme pay?
Could be that they got into trouble for not paying overtime in the past, had slacked off on watching for that, there isn't enough work to go around (ya got that right), etc. and they should get in trouble for not paying overtime cuz it is not legal.
I have a lot of work and actually working overtime
I guess it all depends on your account. I like the communication I get from my TL. It is a great change from my previous company. Good luck to you in your job hunt!
Production incentive meaning overtime
Then it would be legal.
Mandatory overtime's not gonna scare you away, huh? nm
s
Beware the Mandatory Overtime with them! Was discussed
s
Do they offer any overtime or strictly 40 hours?
You can email me if you like. Thanks for info.
No mandatory overtime on my team. In fact
work is low.
That was after I left that co, they must have had to go through records and pay all overtime owed
it was a pleasant surprise - I don't know what the penalty to that company was but it was money I hadn't expected but they must have had to pay all transcriptionists if I got one. This was a few year ago. Evidently whether the overtime was authorized or not, the company was aware the Transcriptionist was over 8 or 40 hours a week and had to go back and pay all of them.
IC/Overtime Court Case in Texas
There is an 'opt-in' federal labor law case in the Texas courts naming a midwestern MT company as the defendant for nonpayment of OT and IC/employee status violation. If you Google full company names, the case will come up in the results.
Opt-in means that if someone wants to join the law suit they need to contact the defendant's lawyer or the courts. This information is public and easy to find. I paid only $0.64 online to get the legal papers filed with all of the contact information.

Overtime is calculated in Elabor, in compliance with federal law....
We enter our hours into Elabor each day, and OT is calculated. Right now, with a slow workload, I doubt overtime is approved. As a matter of fact, it is not approved.
Wage-hour takes nonpay of overtime very seriously
3 people have just last week reported a large national company for requesting people to work without recording hours in order to avoid overtime. They have moved on to better things but had all documentation they needed. They were told this is a serious offense. Note if your company asks you to work without recording hours or that overtime is not approved it is against the law and you can take legal action. This is true for any company.
Post here in Jan. 2007 said they have mandatory overtime. Is this true?
s
So, you need mandatory overtime to reach your line requirement, huh? LOL
Gotcha!
I hear that Amphion is back on mandatory overtime again, so
they must have plenty of work if you can stand tons of emails. For IC status, Advanced Transcription out of Oregon also seems to have plenty of work.
that was union and they STILL made us work overtime, etc. Depends on where you
are. Personally, count me OUT! My experience is HORRIBLE and getting worse. I am now union free and tell everyone I know about my BAD experiences with the union! Companys do what they want anyway! When you start starving and no one will hire you because you are on strike you will get the picture
And mandatory overtime (they don't tell you that 'til after you're hired). nm
