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..................
that's the spirit. nm

In the spirit of the year...
I really hope you mean that and I accept. I have been in this business for years and years but accepted IC only for the last 3 months of this year (asked and going to be their employee at first of year) because I had already paid in far too many taxes this year. Am married but go single, no dependents so had no fear about not having in enough for this year. I am huge animal lover, have 3 furkids and definitely going to see our new panda as soon as she is on display. Volunteered at our zoo when we first got her parents a few years ago so happy to welcome them and doubly happy to welcome her. She is a beautiful little girl. Again thanks for the apology. Merry Christmas!
Now THAT is what the spirit of Christmas is all about. (sm)
When I worked in house at a local hospital we used to adopt a family each year and had a blast doing it. We were a large department and would provide food for the holiday meals and all the Christmas gifts. One year we took my little truck with the camper and literally had it filled with boxes of food and presents. One lady in our department is of a religion that didn't believe in Christmas, but wow, did this lady come forward with food products for the family. One year the mother of the family we adopted even sent us pictures of Chrismas morning. That was truly a heart warmer too.
You seem a bit hostile. SM
The original poster said nothing derogatory about the fact that the doctor stutters. We all have issues, no one is perfect. The point is that it might be easier, and safer for the medical report, if his stuttering is severe to have a nurse practitioner dictate for him. Has nothing no do with the fact that he lacks intelligence or is inferior in any way. You seem much too sensitive and need to calm down.
I think you missed the spirit of my message.
You sound emotional about the whole issue. Upset - angry at me even. I am not saying we all fear change and we should all be distrustful. You are looking at posters who are afraid their companies are going under or accounts are lost, and now implying that they must be lowsy MTs, as the good ones have nothing to fear. That's 100% bunk. Of course, if you are an MT and you have terrible skills, you will probably lose your job. But there are too-numerous-to-count fantastic MTs, myself included, who lose their jobs thru no fault of their own when the company makes some move that is adverse to the employees - like selling, going under, or losing accounts thru contract negotiations, etc. So, one can be sitting there one day, pretty as a picture making good $ and feeling all warm and cozy about your relationship with your boss - so like a good friend, and the next day you are dead in the water with not a whisper of a warning... That is the reality of our industry. Its not being distrustful at all - its realism and being cautious and watching your own back, as I assure you, no employer will watch it for us. As for being distrustful when one hears all sorts of news about a certain company - it generally points to something going on within the company. Something is up and its our responsibilities then to search and seek out the truth of these rumors. If I compare news on 5 or 6 different MTs websites, and all have similar discussions or threads from bonafide posters, well then something is up. That's not being distrustful - its being informed. If you don't need your income to survive and it matters not to you if you lose your job one day, great. But there are legion of us who do need to know!
Absolutely I am being hostile
It most certainly was a derogatory remark. Until you live with this disability or have a child with this disability, you have no idea what these people go through. You are right, I am really upset. It is offensive! In fact, there are probably MTs on MT Stars that stutter and are you going to tell me that they should not be offended by her comment?
Why is everyone so hostile to pregnant MTs?
I don't understand how a MT getting pregnant is bothering you. No need for such a smart comment.
I am not sure why you are so hostile, but I guess that is your problem. sm
It's nice that you have all that. But it costs you way more than bennies cost in hospital situations and some of the better smaller services out there. You have to put about 30% of your pay away just for taxes. If you are making 10 cents a line, that means you are making 7 cents a line. Then take off insurance, time off for vacation WITHOUT PAY, etc. I am saying there are better gigs out there but whatever works for you. No need to be so nasty about things.
why so hostile weekend warrior?
get a life
Yes, pay is on time - software user hostile - what's most important to you?

holiday pay
Do most companies provide holiday pay?
No holiday pay?
I do not work for Spheris, but that is the most selfish/ crasiest thing I have ever heard. I hope I don't sound like an idiot here, but is that even legal to have to work on a holiday without getting extra pay (apparently, it must be) ..but, I tell you what, I would be taking off every single holiday. I can understand if you were IC or SE or if they offered different incentives... but EMPLOYEE?
holiday pay
Does anyone who works for DRC/Acusis remember if there used to be paid holidays or has it always been just premium holiday pay? I've only been here since March, but I was under the impression when I hired on we had 8 paid holidays???
no holiday pay at DSG. nm
xx
holiday pay
well, i'm not sure where people on here are getting their information. the new policy states you have to make your line quota 6 out of the last 8 pay periods and be employed there at least 6 months. it isn't that unreasonable
So what's their big holiday?
?
What holiday?
IC Holiday Pay?
If you are an IC, are you asked to work major holidays? How many do you work? Do you get a special line rate for working the big holidays? I wonder what the line rate is for holiday pay at most companies?
What's holiday pay?
Where I work as an IC, everyone who is normally scheduled for that day of the week is expected to work unless approved to take off in advance. Experience tells me that there is usually little to no work on the holidays, though.
holiday pay
i get time and a half - 13.5 cpl - 6 major holidays
holiday pay??
I get the same pay as always. I need to apply where you work.
Holiday Pay
You negative people just slay me. Did you not get the email from Management about there being FULL management and supervisory staff working the holidays? If they get paid for the holidays I'm sure they deserve every dime they do get. All you have to do (from my experience working the past several years with TT on holidays) is sign up to work the holiday and you will get paid lines and a half. There will be work, there always is. Now whether it's an account that will be your comfort zone will be another question. They can only give us the dictation the doctors dictate. They can't create something. I'm just really defensive when it comes to TT, they've been really good to me because I've been a good worker for them and plan on continuing as such.
Holiday Pay
I forgot to mention in my previous post...why don't you build up PTO like TT gives? Then you can take a holiday and get paid. Times are lean now and you have to make some sacrifices just as TT has to do I'm sure. Some people think that just because there is a company they are making dollars hand over fist. If I had a company that offered people to accumulate PTO why would I want to give them free money and pay them for doing absolutely nothing? Good luck in finding somewhere these days that will give out free money. Sounds like you're more interested in a handout.
Holiday Pay
I work for three services; at two I get $.03 per line extra and the third I get 15% extra of whatever lines I've done.
Holiday pay
Well work then. The BENEFIT is you work from home. You forfeit some benefits in exchange for others. Get over it. Guess you didn't mention they give you a Christmas gift though. How many MT companies do that for their HOME BASED MT's?
It's the holiday
With short work weeks, you'll likely hear from them next week. Good luck! Great place to work!
I just TAKE the holiday. If they don't like it,

Holiday pay
Don't blame you for being miffed. They say you only get holiday pay if you make your line rate. I don't know how many times I have been suckered into working a holiday and sat there all day for nothiong because I could not make rate with no work. Won't do it anymore unless I can get a guaranteed wage for sitting around waiting for work and totally ruining my time with my family.
Holiday pay
Your supervisor can approve holiday pay for you if you did not make your hours because of NSA - so take heart, you should get your holiday pay as long as you are putting in a ticket for your NSA once a day. That info is per one of the super's.
Holiday
It has been my experience that usually there is not much work on the holiday and if you check in a few times and if necessary type a few reports there is no problem.
holiday incentive pay
...is something I'd like to see
holiday question to R
Where did you see the must work 3 holidays thing-it is not in the handbook and nobody told me that.
OSI holiday pay and raises
I predict that the holiday bonus will last through Thanksgiving and Christmas, and then disapear like the work does overseas. No way are they gonna pay that ALL year....no way are they gonna pay raises either, cause no one will stay long enough to earn one!
How bad was the holiday slowdown?
just a day.. or a few days??
Holiday slow down?
Does it seem like the 4th of July holiday slowdown is starting already?
Holiday? What a joke...sm
Are there any companies out there that actually pay their MTs holiday pay? Amphion makes you use your hard-earned, very-slowly-accru, or is there better? Just doesn't seem right. I would think they could pry their wallets open a little bit wider in this respect.
No, you don't have to ask to work a holiday (sm)
I have the same problem with working past my usual quitting time (getting old, you know- LOL) I usually just send an email to Deb (or I guess to support) and say, I'm tired, will make up on weekend. Have never had a problem. Actually they are probably glad to have the help on the weekends. They are pretty flexible, especially when work is low. Don't hesitate to call them or email them for questions. I like it here too. 
MDI/FL/Transcend Rad Holiday
Does the MDI/FL/Transcend holiday bonus apply to radiology accounts as well? If so, since pay is per report, how is the bonus calculated?
Do you have to ask to work on a holiday...
when you are scheduled off?
Another question when out of work-do you have to keep working until your 8 hours are in once the work picks up or just make up that time later. I have a hard time working past a certain hour in the day and in the past, just made it up during the week/weekend. I don't want to get on the bad side of 'em. Love it here.
Holiday lull
I never had a lull, there was about 1/2 when had to wait for work, but other than that has been pretty steady.
No holiday. It's the end of the pay period sm
Nearly always low the Monday beginning the new pay period. Never fear, we'll be buried by Wednesday again.
Only if you actually work on the holiday
If you choose to work the holiday, you will get paid the extra cpl for the holiday, but if you choose not to work the holiday, you won't get it.
Yes mam, I will have a good holiday and you do the same.
Thanks.
Holiday Bonus?
I'm pretty new to Webmedx and am wondering if there is any holiday bonus. I'm probably crazy just having such thoughts but still hoping......anyone have any info?
Is everyone still out of work from the holiday?
I'm at Oracle and my account has been totally 100% out of work since Labor Day. I'm asking that they put me on a secondary but even if they do it tomorrow it'll be my smallest paycheck ever.
How's everyone else doing across the board?
Also I'm perfectly aware that its normal to be out of work after holidays, but tell that to my bills.
Thinking of getting out of the business..... :(
We were not slow at all over the holiday.

What does your company do for holiday pay??
I was just wanting to know how everyone is compensated for their holiday coverage. I work for a company that pays 25.00 an hour, on top your line rate for holiday coverage. I have another company I work for that pays 15% extra on your line rate. Are there others that offer similar compensation?
Holiday Pay Rate and IC
I work as an IC and am not paid extra per line for working holidays, but the company does ask that you work a couple of holidays a year.
Any KS transcriptionist know about holiday pay.
I have to work Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years 
Holiday policy/pay is...
that you are scheduled to work the holiday if the holiday falls on your normally scheduled day, unless you have requested off previously and had it approved. You will receive holiday pay for that day.
