No - I had worked Saturday through Wednesday

In Reply to: Were the 2 days weekend days? sm - PMMT
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.

Got one of mine on Wednesday. nm

I start Wednesday and I can't wait. sm
Nervous about it but in a good way, a positive way. Sure hope this national is not like the one I am at now.
Me too, but I had just accepted a job with TransTech Wednesday. Too funny!
LOL
Since this is Wednesday and they were supposed to call Monday (sm)
I would give them a call. That happened to me when I started over a year ago. They were supposed to call on a certain day and they didn't. I waited a couple days, called them and they said they would get back to me that afternoon and they did.
Sounds like my situation, same scenario, first monday, then wednesday, now???
I would quit with no notice. I have begged and pleaded with the company and I cannot continue to go unpaid. I have bills to pay and a family to support. It is unfair and unjust. Just my 2 cents.
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.
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

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
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.
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.
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.

If my payday falls on Saturday we are usually paid
on Friday, if Sunday, then we are paid on Monday. We also have a pay schedule that is published at the first of the year so we know when our paydates are.
Patient = Patience Thank goodness it is Saturday.

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!!
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.
under new hire plan, Saturday/Sunday all day, 1cent more

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

I worked for a temp agency for 3 years..LOVED it. Just worked. No counts, no hassels, GREAT pay..
No benefits at the time. I even learned pathology while temping (8 months on that assigment). I loved the variety, the ability to say I'm not available such and such time. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I didn't need benefits.
A company is ONLY supposed to verify that someone worked there, what dates they worked, whether PT o
and last date worked. It opens everyone up to a lawsuit if more is given, so most companies are told by their attorneys and business advisors to verify only.
No one has a right to a reference, only verification of employment.
It worked! Latest suggestion from DJ's email worked. nm

If I worked a longer day, I just put my regular shift, 3p-11p, or whatever. If I worked sm
an extra day, then I was told to fudge the hours around on the other days so it all came out to 40. I didn't really mind -- have learned not to expect overtime in this profession -- and I was happy to be able to work whenever I needed to get the lines I needed. However, them telling me directly to fudge on my time sheet would seem to be a violation of the wage and hour laws. I suppose it doesn't matter now if they do not even have enough work to make the minimum line count necessary. Several of the companies I thought were golden seem to have gotten a bit tarnished lately … sad.
Glad it worked for you. I have worked for companies
that were more reliable and paid without the delay I had. Maybe you started before they started doing that but it makes no difference. I TOO am a single parent.
You are not trying to argue? Sounds like you not only are trying to argue but you are just waiting for anyone to post anything about the co on here so you can just get out there and respond, which seems to be the way I have always noticed it. It's like all the MTs or whoever that work there are just waiting to respond.
This board is about the good points and bad points about companies. I am telling my experience.
The people were nice people though, but my experience was not a good one and I will not say it was.
I can go a week after the end of payday and even 10days later but that's it. Kids would starve.
Best company I have ever worked for, and I have worked for a lot!
I can't believe some of the things these people say here, and have to wonder if it just the same person or two bashing. I have been at MDI for four years and I do not have a low workload and I get treated very, very well.
They one I am not sure of. I have always worked FT for them. I have worked both IC and employee
and I always did way over 12,000 a pay peroid. I am sure they are pretty comparative to other companies. You definitely could contact a recruiter by applying if they would answer all of your questions up front. Good luck.
Worked for both
They both have their pros and cons. MedQuist is poor at communicating with their staff. Keep you in the dark, but they leave you alone and let you work. Spheris, on the other hand micromanages every minute of your time. If you stop to go to the bathroom without signing out, your phone will be ringing within 5 minutes with your supervisor wanting to know where you are. They are much better at communicating and support, though. You just have to pick your poison.
I worked for both MQ and S.
MQ SUCKS!!!! Spheris has better training, no rental fees on equipment, management and trainers who actually know what they're doing, a decent platform, and better pay. Those jerks at MQ threatened via $30 Fed Ex envelope to sue me for the equipment I had already mailed back to them, and I had proof of it with UPS tracking confirmation. And no, I never got fired from there. Besides all that, S isn't involved in any lawsuits and hasn't been delisted from NASDAQ like MQ has.
When I worked at MQ
Their "clinic work" was from Emory University and very, very difficult. It was in their clinics that they did drug studies, cancer research, surgeries, AIDS research with lots of ESL residents and doctors. It isn't like a nor doctor's office "clinic." They don't tell you that when you take the job.
worked for both
cherry picking (MDI) and they have to know what you are doing all day (TSI) "WHERE ARE YOU, WHY AREN'T YOU TYPING?"
OK, I worked for a different TSI.
I don't know about that one. I work for a very small MTSO with fewer than 20 MTs. It's my fit, but I'm not going to name names on the boards.
Worked for both.....
I worked for Spheris a while ago, they were very unprofessional in my opinion, disorganized and really didn't pay well, communication was almost nonexistant. My manager never even introduced herself and just really had a bad attitude in her email, which was her only contact.
I started with OSi about 6 months ago and couldn't be happier. Their platform is very easy to use and highly productive. I have never run out of work, pay is always on time and they are very flexible. I am completely happy with them.
