Wonder if they still provide the computer and all those benefits for the 24 hour week? Anyone do this currently or know? Thanks!

They have weekend Radiology jobs that were posted on the job board May 8..(sm)
other than that, you would probably have to call. Good Luck!
A 3-day weekend every weekend? Wouldn't that be nice. Good luck with that!..nm

MedQuisters, topics from the Company board are being moved to the MedQuist board. MQ posts on
the first page of the Company board will be removed to open up space for other companies to post. Enjoy the new Medquist board set up for you.
Thank you,
Administrator
Are you the same condescending person the word board? I thought this was called "Company Board.&#

Didn't you post this on 03/04/06 on both the Company Board and the Hospital/Clinic MT Board?

THE WEEKEND IS HERE
Is everybody working this weekend. We need everyone to be working because THERE IS NO WORK. 
1 weekend day is okay, but
requiring both is a little much. No matter what schedule I work, usually with 1 weekend day, I get pestered to work all 7, or to do 2 or 3 hours over the 8 to 10 I did already. Some of these companies would have no problem having you sit at your keyboard with an an IV bag attached to you. :)~
I weekend
I am not surprised at all.
I can and I will this weekend....
You can send me one too....let me know how it's going so far.
Is it usually weekend OT -- sm
or weekday OT or a combination?
Weekend
If there is a shift differential, that is news to me. I do not receive anything for nights or weekends other than regular pay. Maybe it is something for new hires only??
Weekend usually seems better.
It always seems like Friday and Saturday are busy. Maybe everyone can make up some lines. I've had an okay week. Ran out of work here and there. I am just getting nervous as we approach holiday season and the hiring of the new employees. I am looking for a 2nd job right now.
There is a comedy board...put your remarks on that board. nm

Then this is the "Unprofessional" MT board. Pulic board,

no weekend work - sm
Sounds like Transcend!
weekend woes
Do all these nationals expect weekend work every stinking weekend? As a reward for working all our hours during the week? Is anyone else sick of working constantly and never feeling they can take off a weekend without guilt??? Do these supervisors, managers work every stinking weekend too? I doubt it. The thing that stinks about working from home is that you are always working.....can't get a day off...anyone else sick of this???
I understand weekend help is necessary, both I just

There are MTs out there who are looking for weekend work...sm
I guess I don't understand your complaint with the company posting that ad. They have a need they need to fill, and it might be the right fit for somebody.
There would be no weekend TV, movies,
bars, etc., for entertainment. Might be a good way for families to learn to communicate again, though.
Weekend work...
Contact docQmed. I am one of his clients and am always looking for weekend warriors.
THANKS!!!!!! Have a great weekend!
Weekend requirement
Is any two weekend days per month. Friday PM shift also counts as a weekend.
weekend work.....
What position are you interested in? If you do read the previous posts, just ignore them...of course they are all ex-employees who left on a bad note with the company. If you would like you can contact me concerning a position with Shapin.
Do you still have to work every 4th weekend or is

second shift/weekend
I work second/third shift and one weekend day but I do not get a shift diff so the pay is the same either way. I am on SR and only make 0.06 a line. The shift diff would have helped out.
weekend work
Are there any companies who will allow you to work both weekend days as part of a regular schedule. I am looking for a reliable company, at leat 8.5 cpl, employee status and one where work flow is regular. I realize there are always slow downs in this industry but searching for a company where you are not consistently running out of work. I prefer to work both Sat and Sun to allow me 2 days off during the week. I know this is unusual. I have an IC job. Love the flexiblity but I need benefits.
I didn't think I would like the weekend day
but I can knock out my required lines in three hours and still have plenty of weekend left.
weekend work
I picked a Sun-Thur schedule so I plan to work Sun after dinner, and get my weekend in first...
Yes occasional OT on weekend, but then
little to none during the week. The account that lost a work type is sending other work types, but lines/minutes no where close to what was lost. The account that sends all the work, we also inherited their MTs, so no more work for current MTs.
looking for weekend work
I would like to obtain weekend transcription. I do work a full time 40 hour weekday job and would like to pick up some weekend work. If anyone knows of any, please let me.
Transtech has M-F with one weekend

How about the weekend differential?
Does it bother anyone else that the new way they pay that seems to pretty much exclude everyone from getting it? Or at least so far I can't get it. They took me from a M-F shift and made me take a weekend day, which I complied with, thinking that at least I'd get the differential. Then two weeks later, they changed it to needing to work, and make your line counts, for those days. I don't know about all the other accounts, but my account usually just trickles in on weekends, and when all the transcriptionists get on there trying to make up lines or try to get the shift differential, there is no way that I am going to get my ever-harder-to-achieve line count. I'm looking at that green grass on the other side of the fence, and I've got to admit it looks pretty tasty.
Had some over the weekend, but dried up now.

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.
weekend work
I too hated the thought of working every single weekend, but I've been doing it for a year, and it has actually worked out okay. On the Sunday that I work, my husband gets to spend time with my kids, and I get an actual day to work interrupted. I don't have to work 8 hours on Sunday though, so I guess that helps. I just get up early and am done by noon. I am actually considering doing a Saturday too so that my husband can help that day also. It might not be as bad as you think. Good luck.
In this day and age, a weekend day is totally...sm
expected. I'm NOT a sour puss but I am an MT. I wanna make money so I accepted a Sun-Thurs schedule several YEARS ago - not just recently. I would suggest a better attitude about a work schedule, especially in this day and age. Go ahead and trash me - I don't care, but if you wanna work nowadays you must be accepting of a lot of requirements that were not the norm in days gone by. And then MTs wonder why the work goes offshore! Sheesh!
Weekend work
 What do you find so difficult about working a weekend? I had 3 kids and worked 7 days a week.. (and still work 7 days a week!), you just adjust your schedule to what your kids are doing....most companies no longer require a set 8-4 or 9-5 type environment....Now I'm a grandmother and manage to do my job during the day and watch my granddaughter after 3 p.m....it really isn't that difficult. Look at it this way - if our normal work week was Tues to Sat, you'd be wondering how anyone could work Mon - Fri. Good luck with your juggling.
You HAVE to work a weekend day? No thanks!
I'll stick to companies who hire full-timers on M-F and part-timers for weekend work...
Do they require a weekend day?
x
Yes. You must work 1 weekend day every week. nm

What the heck is up this weekend with the system?
Cannot get into anything!
If they didn't want weekend work,
I would have taken the job. But who wants weekends? That stinks.
I have plenty of work and am doing OT this weekend. Maybe you could ask
for a transfer to a different supervisor.
Weekend work / 2nd line
It depends on which client they assign you to. Our hospital is currently dial-up to both Lanier and Meditech. However, Meditech will soon be IP connection but you will require a phone line for our Lanier as ours is not internet based/digital.
Plus shift and/or weekend differentials.

I tested for PMSI over the weekend, but SM
haven't heard anything yet. The person who contacted me seemed really nice. If the test is indicative of their work, I think I'd really enjoy it.
Has anyone else heard how well they did on the test?
Does anyone know if it is IC work or do they have employee status too?
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they'll get back to me. 
Just Me
