When I worked there you got weekend differential and even higher holiday differential

and neither were required and no pressure to work and usually there was not much work as the extra pay made the MTs come crawling out of the woodwork!

Not MDI, but where I work, no weekend differential, no holiday pay...
I HATE it. I've been looking for a job out of MT for a year - nothing. Your schedule includes one weekend day, and if a holiday falls on your regularly scheduled work day, TS - you get your normal line rate.
I worked for them as an IC at 9 cpl with nice weekend differential - I don't think they have bene

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.

Does Transcend pay a weekend differential?
I was wondering.  I just talked to the recruiter and forgot to ask.  She mentioned a shift differential  but I don't remember hearing about a weekend differential.  TIA
shift and weekend differential - sm
Not sure why YOU didn't get this differential, but I DID - no longer though. Just goes to show how many different pay brackets there are at Transcend. So, just because your ROM doesn't know about the pay cut doesn't mean it isn't coming. I got my call last week - some are only getting them now. I hope you don't get it, but forewarned is forearmed.
Webmedx pays weekend and shift differential. nm

TransHealth also pays for production over minimum, and weekend differential. nm

CMT Pay Differential?
Does anyone know of any MTSOs who actually offer a pay differential for CMT status?  (Particularly part-timers and/or IC).  TIA

shift differential
i have been asking about a shift differential for over 2 years now as i mainly work in the evenings. it's like everything else with them they are in no hurry when it's something that benefits the MT.

Webmedx pays shift differentials :)
What about shift differential?
My company does require a time sheet, but I think it's partly so they can pay your actual shift differential.

Does Keystrokes pay more for later hours?
No shift differential, but.......
Their pay rate is a little higher than most companies, and it is really easy to get a good line count there. I do anywhere between 2000-3000 lines a shift, so I am very happy and find that I don't even need a shift differential to make great money.
What is the avg cpl of 3rd shift differential?...
...seems like when I did third shift before for an MTSO the cpl differential was 0.005 or something like that.  Any info is most appreciated.
shift differential
I get 1 cent per line for 3rd shift.
Does KS pay an evening differential?

And if so, what time does it start?  Would those who work a split qualify for a differential? Or,  if you start early in the day then runs into the evening.


shift differential
I think what the part about shift differential means that basically you do get one, but instead of it being some bonus tacked on it's automatically in your line rate, so maybe they'd offer you 8 cpl for the day shift but 8.5 for the night shift.
Which companies pay most for 3rd shift differential?
Need to make more per line.  I'm going to the highest bidder.  I have 27 years of medical transcription experience under my belt, and very quality oriented and produce 2000 lines per day.   Any bidders?
I would like to see pay differential based on YOE or quality. sm
One company i worked for would bump us up a 0.01 in pay if we got over 1700 lines a day. really good incentive for me as i didn't stop til i hit that as it was my goal. shift differential for nights/weekends/holidays.

would love a step ladder for wages, say 1-yr exp make so and so, 5-yr exp so and so, etc. more pay for harder dictators. the dictators could be rated on a scale. this would help eliminate some cherrypicking as those who wanted ESLs for higher pay could have them.

shift differential calculations
Not hard at all, I work all 3 shifts at times, so when I start second shift, I total those before going into 3rd.
TransTech Shift Differential
Can anyone tell me if the shift differential is for PT or is it exclusively for FT?  TIA.
the only 'shift differential' they offer now is
both sat and sun. i can think of better things to do with my weekends.

We get a differential at the hospital I work for
If half your hours or more are worked after 3 p.m., you get $1.50/h extra (we get paid hourly).  I work 10:30-7 (with half hour lunch) in order to get the differential.

Stay away from Amherst, NY. Bad deal there. No holiday pay, no weekend pay, and on it goes. They

Get a grip, people!
I think I've always worked Christmas, and every other holiday, due to
Even when I worked in-house for a few hospitals, my schedule always seemed to fall where Christmas, New Year's, usually even Easter, fell on one of my regularly-scheduled work days.

When my daughter was younger, I was fortunate enough to work 6 a.m. until 2:30 p.m., so I was home early enough where we could still have pretty much a full day in front of us.

Now that she's older, I honestly don't mind working the holidays...There's a lot to be said for holiday pay when one works in-house. Since I'm now an IC from home, I can hop on and off throughout the day as I desire to get my lines and not feel as if I'm missing out on anything.

Nah, I don't mind working holidays.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
I have a set schedule...and have worked occasionally on the weekend
to help out because it's a brand new account and they're still trying to see where their greatest need is, like the busiest times.  It just depends on what account you get on I guess. I'm used to a set schedule because I worked MQ for 8 years.  They have benefits and everything so it really isn't like being an IC or SE but they do try to be flexible. After the nightmare of what MQ became in the last year I had to switch...I was just losing too much money at MQ and so far I love Keystrokes. 
Pay was low back in 2005 unless you worked the entire weekend. nm

The percentage of offshoring is higher than 15%, much higher - sm
Two more points - the Indian transcriptionists seemed to get the easy American dictators while the US transcriptionists get the Indian doctors and other ESLs.  Never made sense to me.  Also, a poster said the work is QA'd before being sent to the client - not all the time and if was then QA needs better training. 
A 3-day weekend every weekend? Wouldn't that be nice. Good luck with that!..nm

OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE A HIGHER UP

Higher?
They won't if you don't know how to spell hire.

My pay is much higher
I do VR and straight and what you quoted lots lower.
higher pay does not mean better. Try them both.

That is for pay; what they charge is much higher. sm
They are not cheap. Our department went with them a few months ago, and they were higher than all but one other company. My manager and her higher-ups really liked them. We have met the owners and two of their managers and I have to say that I was impressed too. They were definitely the nicest company that came in. They are doing a great job too. I am going to work there part time evenings, so I would recommend them.
