I know that if you are evenings or weekends, you can be part time. sm
I went back full time but that was what I was looking for. I have a friend who works there too, and she is part-time. She works Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
No, but I saw the ad - 12 cpl for weekends. Sounds good.

They try to stay in TAT, even on weekends (as they should) Good company.
nm
Transform out of WY is a good and HONEST company.. Try that..
nm
Anyone know anything about Transform? Is this company good to work for?
Curious
Are there any GOOD companies that offer IC status (and no weekends?) ??

I would really like to work a Monday through Friday job.  Plus, I prefer IC status.   Probably an impossible combo...


Thanks!


 


If you are very good, the company accommodates you so you don't work weekends
nm
Does anyone use V-Script software with Transform or anywhere else? Is it good? Is it proprietary? nm
s
Good grief. Why can't these companies hire PTers for weekends.
x
Your timing is good. They just asked me if I wanted to pick up an ER account for weekends which inc
Thursdays and Fridays. It is an internet-based account and a good one but I have enough work on my primary.
RE: I've been with Transform for 2 months and so far, so good. Nice people to work with, (sm)
pay is on time, direct deposit, etc. 
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.
Does Cardioscribes only hire for evenings? sm
I've visited their website and I'm interested, but it's only showing evenings available. I do work some in the evenings but can't commit to that full-time and I was wondering if they ever hire for day positions or if they are pretty hard to come by. I have a lot of cardio experience so I'd love to send my resume but I can't do it when it states evenings. Also, do you work weekends/holidays there?
Does your company pay a differential for evenings,
nm
No they don't. There is slight increase for evenings and nights;

Fellow MDI'ers, is it just me or do the worst dictators seem to be on on evenings and holidays?
I don't mind a mix. We, of course, all have to take the good with the bad, but when I'm getting almost exclusively terrible dictators for working these kinds of hours without an incentive pay and am taking an excessive number of hours just to make a decent line count, then something is wrong.  I know I have a responsibility to the patient, to the facility, and to MDI to put out a quality document in a timely manner, but I also have a responsibility to my own financial health to be able to meet my own obligations.  This is getting to be a ridiculous situation.  I don't remember this account having such a concentration of challenging dictators as this. Sorry to vent like this, but this is really getting to me today. Life is just passing me by as I sit at this computer making little to no money, and I'm finally tired of it.
Do you work evenings or nights? If so TT has plenty of work
It is not that TT has no work, it is that everybody wants banker's hours. What do you expect?
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?
Amphion no weekends
What type of accounts do you type? I'm sure for acute care or ER accts you would have to work weekends..just inquiring because Amphion is one company I am seriously checking out at the moment to switch to.  Thanks.
I do ER and don't work weekends. nm
  
I do ER and only work weekends (PT)
:)
Weekends should be optional
Not to close hospitals, smarmy pants, but to demand weekends is counterproductive. Weekend work should be optional and pay more. Duh.

orthopedics, weekends anyone?

Are there any companies out there hiring an IC for weekend orthopedics work?  5 years experience here.


Yep! Weekends are all mine!
