Are they extremely strict with schedules? nm

Does Webmedx has a strict schedule or a window to get work done?
I tried searching boards, but too many entries came up. Thanks
Clocking out...
All I know is what I've read on the boards, but U kinda prove my point - the whole idea of "clocking out" (or in) seems ridiculous to me - don't they make 'em do that at Denny's??? Sorry, I wouldn't work for any company with a "clock in/out" mentality. Yuck.
Clocking out to go to the BR isn't going to
make much of a difference in your day. We get paid incentives to do over and above the required lines so clocking out to go to the BR could make a difference in your lph
Clocking In/Out
We have never had to clock in/out with TransTech. They do appreciate an email from the employee when they log on/off the system so they can know which accounts are covered and when. Sometimes jobs have to be routed to people for priority sake and it's nice for them to know so the jobs don't get stuck in someone's queue while they are at Wal-Mart.
Yes that is clocking in and no I don't have to do
that, nor do most companies do that. It may be different now that they changed the tier program. You didn't have to clock in and out every time you got up, but it affected your line rate so you did.
If your not clocking in or filling out sm
some sort of documentation of your hours, then it's computed through your hands on the keyboard somehow. How would you be paid OT if your hours aren't actually documented in some way?
Thanks. I've been clocking out for every little thing (sm)
to try to keep my line count as high as possible, but the result is it takes FOREVER to get in 8 hours.
Because instructor was going to be clocking out. Very unorganized

Strict TAT
I think there is work. From my experience, the MTSOs just want the work done within minutes, so they overstaff the accounts to make sure there is never a backlog. Good for them, bad for the MT.
Way too strict about scheduling
x
Very strict. If you have any question SM
as to whether you can make the minimum, don't even apply. This also goes for when the work is low, they still expect minimum.
Thank you. I DO appreciate it. I do deal with strict QA now...sm
but at least they don't threaten to deduct your paycheck for it.
It sounds like their (Transolutions) QA is a lot tougher now...hmmmm....maybe it's not worth the extra benes...
Thanks again MTMT.
As far as I know, in the strict Muslim
countries, to which Saudi Arabia belongs, women are only allowed to work as nurses or teachers.
They want American MTs because they perceive them, rightfully, as the best, and they are ready to pay well for quality.
I see this as compliment. It is not that Muslim men and women regard every foreign women as immoral. They judge and differentiate according to the woman's behavior. If she is decent and virtuous, she is treated with respect.
I can imagine that there are restrictions regarding clothing, food and drinks, and lifestyle in general, but if we decide to live in another continent with a different religion and culture, we have to respect that.
Do you know how strict they are on their required experience? Thanks! nm

When I worked for JLG, it was pretty strict sm
about work schedules. I did not realized they kept track of my time via the ICQ messenger, which I kept turning off because of persistent, numerous, disruptive, and annoying messages from people on the Net I didn't know. I didn't realize this and had to make up for time they claimed I didn't work but actually did. Maybe it's better now.
They're very strict with their lines sm
You'll get harrassing certified letters and nasty e-mails. You're required to meet your lines by the 3rd payperiod. They get really nasty to you too...they were all sugar sweet and helpful until I stood up for myself, and then their true colors came through.
Unless you're a very fast transcriptionist, it's almost impossible to make your lines. I'm just an average transcriptionist. I have always been able to make my lines at other places of employment, but never at TH. They run out of work A LOT (read--nearly every single day) and have a butt-load of foreign doctors. A really bad combination if you want to make your lines.
Some people love them, but I'm not one 'em! I'm glad they're ancient history with me. I work for a much better company now.
Ugh ...recruiter sent me the info .. seems very strict .. thanks nm

Better read the IRS specs first. There are strict....sm
instructions on whether to call a worker an IC or an employee. An employer can be in big trouble for mandating any specifications of a job if he/she is calling a worker an IC. They are starting to crack down on that, too, especially with companies who have several workers. It's about time, in my opinion, that places get in trouble! If you don't put up with it, it will stop happening.
I have to work 8-hour strict schedule SM
Platform is either Chartmatrix or Enterprise, average pay, the company is just average all around. It's not horrible but it also isn't great. Up until 6 months ago I would have recommended to give them a try, but they have started this downhill slide, feels more like Spheris now. I have felt this for the last 6 months. When the job market opens up a bit more I'm going to look around.
Can someone elaborate on the strict conditions of the contract?
The IC contract under which I currently work is very flexible and I've never had a problem with the MTSO except work is a little slow right now so I've got to be VERY flexible to make my lines.
I was considering a few other places to fill in the gap and Fast Chart was one of them.
I'd love more details about how restrictive the contract is and more details about the pay cut you'd be expected to take. Is their salary lower than the other MTSOs?
Thanks for any extra enlightenment you can provide!
While I think it would be difficult to work a very strict schedule at home - sm
I do believe that every MT should have a window in which they are expected to do their work. That benefits everyone involved, the MT, the company, as well as the hospital. I pretty much adhere to the same hours every day, unless something unexpected (emergency situation) comes up. I just think it is easier that way. However, in the summer time, I like to adjust my hours a bit to be able to work in the early a.m. while the kids are still sleeping. I work the same hours over the summer though. Working at home around your family is not easy, so there has to be a little flexibility on both sides. Going to an office to work without your everyday family and life interruptions, I believe, is quite different.
I think the only thing they are strict on is downloading things to the computer. sm
General surfing the web and stuff isn't a problem. I surf the web all the time for medical references, etc... and I haven't ever had a problem. I know that they are strict about not downloading anything to the computer because it may cause a conflict with the software they use.
Hope that helps.
Just curious...how strict is TT about having 5 years' experience before applying? NM

Keystroke radiology - flexible shift or strict?
I have tried searching the archives and found conflicting information. A few posts say you must work an assigned shift but other posts say work when you want. Which is it, or is it both depending on the account?
Strict on the days. It depends on the account as to the flexibility. nm

Do any companies allow you to edit the dictation somewhat or are you strict verbatim? First time do

Question about SoftScript. Strict schedule, can you quit when you get your lines? (sm)
I saw a posting before that said you were good to go as long as you signed in on time and did your lines. Is this accurate?
Also, I have seen they are offering 7 cents per line regardless of experience. Is this still true?

schedules
You do have to say what hours you will work. That's called J O B
We're finally making strides to become PROFESSIONALS who have deadlines and hours and expectations and stuff! Can you just imagine?
Seriously, you have to pick the hours you will work. Then you have to work them. You don't have to pick 8-4. You can pick 8, 10, 11, 7, 2.
Of course, they can tell you they need other coverage, I suppose.
Schedules
Yes, they are strict on the agreed upon schedule the transcriptionists obligate themselves to...they HAVE to be. TT is in business to provide their clients with quality reports in a time frame THEY have agreed upon. The reports cannot be delivered on time if the transcriptionists are cavalier in their work habits. I love working for TT. I can tell you another thing. Probably the only reason that Transcriptionist was written up was because she was consistently not working at her agreed upon time. TT have been wonderful to me. And yes, they HAVE been flexible, but I am on when I am supposed to be and provide a quality product for them.
Schedules?
I'm not sure what section of Focus you all work with. With all the discussion about schedules, etc., I'm wondering what I've been missing. I've been an employee for well over a year and have never been required to have a set schedule of any kind. I work whenever I want, as long as I put in a minimum of 20 hours per week.
ICs and schedules
The whole idea of being an IC is to NOT have to stick to a schedule. There are companies out there. I have to do a minimum of 5000 lines per pay period (which is 1st to 15th of the month and 16th to end of month) but on no schedule, just whenever I work as long as come date of invoice I have a minimum of 5000 lines. I know there are other companies out there that do the same. That is the way it should be for an IC.
Set schedules.
No flexibility.
No set schedules because....
They don't pay overtime  .
Amphion hires part-time - they're very strict schedule-wise though
Since part time is so hard to find these days your options are limited, so if you don't mind working for a company that is a stickler for strict schedule adherence, I say try Amphion.
Good Company, but yes very strict supervisor or mine was anyway! As long as you meet the deadline
you are safe! They were strict when I was with them though
Flexible schedules
Amphion Medical Solutions: You can say you will work 5 hours a day, or 20 hours a week, but that is about as vague as they can tolerate. Contact HR@amphionmedical.com
No...they are really flexible with schedules..nm

What do you mean by downloading schedules?
The ones here who want to make their own schedules
should just spend their time doing something else besides working. You really sound immature wanting to call the shots on when you work. Hospital work is 24/7. If you don’t want to work on weekends or say you cannot work (UGH), stay home and take care of the kids. No princesses around here.
They do have some M-F schedules, but it depends on
what the needs of the client are and what time slots they have available when you apply. The recruiter is the one that will offer you a position and she will tell you what time slots they have available. You aren't supposed to change your schedule for 6 months.
I think there is 1 small rad but there is ER. Schedules....
You set your schedule but you are expected to be there when you say you are. However, they are great to work around doctor's appointments or other things that may come up. I have never had an issue not being able to get time off for anything.
As far as QA, they expect you to type what is dictated unless of course it is a gross medical error and then you blank and send to QA. You do not get dinged for sending work to QA. You also do not get dinged for punctuation. They do expect high quality.
That's because of the work schedules
Most of the MTs at MDI either work Sun-Thu or Tue-Sat. Therefore, more MTs are working Tue, Wed, Thu.
The problem is M-F schedules have
gone by the wayside for the most part. Seems like everyone is requiring at least 1 weekend day. I remember when I was at the Q (and this was years ago), we rotated weekends. This is unheard of now with most MTSOs.
No, but they have flexible schedules, so ask about
nm
and if your schedules are flexible? nm

It looks like 2 different lists, 2 different schedules.
Schedule 3.13(a) hereto contains a complete and accurate list of all employees (including statutory employees) of the Company who for the year ending March 31, 2009 were paid annual aggregate compensation in excess of $35,000, showing the position, annual base salary and bonus potential for each such employee.
Purchaser shall continue the services of the employees of the Company following the Closing except for the individuals listed on Schedule 6.11 hereof who shall be terminated at or shortly following the Closing.
It appears that there are going to be some that are terminated at or following the closing. Is that tomorrow or January 1, 2010?
Transcend Pay day schedules
The thing I am going to hate most is the Transcend pay day schedule, twice a month instead of every 2 weeks. Just when I get my creditors settled into dates I pay my bills, I will have to revert back to having to go to the payday loan for money. Twice a month is too long between paydays. I have also used BeyondText before and it is antique compared to Bayscribe.
How were the schedules set up? Shifts? Flexibility? Thanks! nm
