Anyone else working Easter with NO extra pay??? Seems like a waste of my time.. but..
Oh well, that's the name of the game. I work weekends, evenings, and holidays with no incentive other than they realize people need to earn a living.. but I'm not bitter hahahaha
I agree. I was thanked for working extra the end of last week and told of some MTs on my job type
who were out due to illness or vacation and that we were getting behind. Same as the message this morning....the minutes were building up. Seems things are a bit desperate at this point and we all just need to quit trying to read into the situation and pitch in and get the work back under control. OUR company needs OUR help, and we need to pitch in 200% or we may very well find ourselves without an account to work on. I don't think it was a threat this morning - I think it could happen.
Yes but that means hiring a lot of extra people and paying out a lot of extra money when they can
have SE without all this. Their last report said they are making less money now than before and expect to make less in the next quarter so what does that say. We shall see. As part time employees you would still have to adhere to a schedule and I think people are SE for flexibility at least I am.
I would ask, you deserve it. sm
I just got a new job and in my job search I did find some wanting to pay 8 cpl for high ESL with a production differential and then one other offering 10 cpl with a production differential. One was about 50% ESL and the other about 65% ESL. On the other hand another was offered at 9 cpl with lower ESL. I would not do a high (esp. as high as you say) ESL acct for less than 9 cpl and probably not 10, so I say if they want to keep you they should give your request a lot of consideration. They may be willing to do it if they have had a high turnover and you have already proven your proficiency on the account. Sounds like you deserve it.
let us all believe they will get what they deserve.

Karma will get what they deserve

You deserve better than to work for this
RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN. See archives.
You don't *really* deserve a response but here goes
something tells me you aren't capable of getting this but here goes: MY POST was to gauge INTEREST, *not* delegate the work.
Can you grasp that simple concept?
Try reading my posts again, and see if it's a little clearer.
As an activist for 10 years, I know just how easy it is for others to allow one person to hold the reins. I'm not willing to do that WITHOUT serious support.
Got it now?
What is your problem? TT does not deserve
all these negative posts and bashing. For your information, I've been there over a year and the only time I ran out of work was around the holidays.
Methinks there are too many people that have become paranoid because of another job with another company and it's not fair to TT.
C'mon, be fair to TT. They've been good to all their MTs.
Thank you, you deserve to be blessed.

Then what? I will have given a heads-up to others who deserve it
There must have been a certain amount of business generated from their advertisement of work being done state side.They obviously plan to keep that on there, so it's had to be a money maker. It certainly makes a difference if I'm the one looking for a job and it's a state side company hiring MTs. Then what...? You're right. It's not going to stop. But would you not want a heads-up? The website says state side. All of us deserve to know the truth going on inside these crooked companies.... because the only thing we can do is look after each other.
And then there are those who ace the tests and deserve a response!

So you deserve special treatment? sm
MTs that don't have kids are ALWAYS stuck with the weekends and nights. It is expected of us to take up the slack for the MTs with kids ALL THE TIME. And when asked ONE TIME to switch and work a night or a weekend so an MT without kids can do something, the answer is always NO I want to be with my kids. Go ahead and flame me because personally I'm SICK OF IT!
You deserve a round of applause for your post!! sm
I have been at this for almost 20 years. I work a mid size company and it is a company that is bashed quite regularly on here. However, it works for me and I love it!
I have the opportunity to work with MTs with all types of experience. I have some older MTs that I wonder what have they been doing on all these years! and I have new MTs that try their hardest, but even some of them that are trying so hard are just never going to make it.
I agree with all the whining on this board. I don't mind it (as I don't bother to read the actual post most of the time), but I hope when people read these posts that they take what is said as a grain of salt. Form your own opinion of companies, etc.
Also when you say when you are going to work, then actually DO work those hours.
Hats off to the original poster!
You are so right and the ones who work for free should be flogged. Everyone deserve to be....
compensated for their time, effort, and dedication and what a slap in their face to get paid 1 cpl, if they are lucky. With this company, they would be hard pressed to get get anything so if nothing is really want they value their worth at, then go for it. I find it almost pathetically sad and any company that does this should be ashamed.
I HAD A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE THERE, AND I THINK PEOPLE DESERVE TO HEAR ABOUT IT...
IT WAS GREAT WHEN I FIRST STARTED, THAT MUCH I WILL ADMIT. I WAS PLEASANTLY SUPRISED AT THEIR WILLINGNESS TO HELP, THEIR KINDNESS, AND THEIR AVAILABILITY TO THE MT'S. BUT AS MANAGMENT CHANGED, SO DID ALL OF THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT MADE DSG SO PERSONAL.
I LEFT ON MY OWN TERMS. I WAS NOT FIRED... I AM NOT A MAD IC OR EMPLOYEE THAT WAS TERMINATED. I WAS SICK OF BEING TREATED LIKE CRAP ALL OF THE TIME. AND I STILL TALK TO MANY FRIENDS THAT I HAVE MADE THERE AT DSG, AND THEY WILL ALL SAY THE SAME THING... DSG HAS BECOME A VERY IMPERSONABLE PLACE TO WORK, AND IS A PLACE WHERE YOU HAVE TO FIGHT FOR YOUR WORK. WE WERE NEVER ENCOURAGED TO HELP EACH OTHER AND WERE OFTEN GREETED WITH RUDE COMMENTS FROM THE MANAGEMENT WHEN TRYING TO DO SO.
I DO NOT HAVE TO KEEP QUIET ABOUT MY OPINION OF DSG OR THEIR UNPROFESSIONALISM. IT IS A FREE COUNTRY.
THANKS FOR YOUR BLESSINGS, THEY ARE NOT NEEDED. I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY WHERE I AM NOW. NO NEED TO FIGHT FOR WORK, AND MAKING MUCH MORE INCOME. SO YOU CAN HAVE DSG... FOR ME IT WAS A STEPPING STONE ON THE WAY TO A REAL JOB...
I agree, whoever you are, you deserve to be happy with any job, not constantly struggling.
The reason we have these boards is we need each other, that is my reason. It is a God given right that we deserve to be happy and not be taken advantage of, be kind to other people, and PASS IT ON!
You deserve major kuddos! Hope that company (and their editors) appreciate you!
I know I would as an editor!!!
if someone puts up with crap for 5 years... they deserve the crap!! good grief... grow a set and get

Do they pay extra for OT?
As if I needed any more incentive to apply to this company.
Ditto.. Over 13 years experience working in hospitals doing all types of reports, currently working
for a national etc.. and Spheris told me I didnt have the qualifications. What cracked me up was the hospital I was working at at the time contracted some of our work out to them.. What a joke..I was good enough to work for a hospital and gave them work, yet not qualified enough for them. What is wrong with this picture.
MQ--extra 2 cents
some offices offer extra money for typing after 3pm, after 10pm, week ends, and holidays, and some offices offer this without asking for it
Going the extra mile? sm
IMHO "going the extra mile" means working your BUTT off when your company has a backlog. Decent companies pay a bonus for doing that anyway. Then coast when work is low. If you fall into this cut throat mentality, you're not only hurting yourself but all MTs. It is possible for companies to balance their needs with the needs of MTs and I, for one, refuse to work for one who can't (or won't) do this.
Always work, usually all the extra you want too.
No special platform. Some accounts you can work in WP5.1 or Word, some just Word. Work is batched so no saving every report. The only demographics you have to enter is patient's name, all other automated. Daily QA feedback and QA is good overall. Use BOS generally, but not strictly - client dictates.
Direct deposit and pay is ALWAYS on time, even early on holidays usually. No charge for direct deposit.
If you are local can use C-phone, otherwise work is downloaded via FTP. They provide foot pedal/software but not computer.
IC positions only - but don't know rate. I've been with them since the beginning and am an employee. They pay based on gross line though, use Sylcount for line counts and no screwing around with your lines.
They aren't perfect, but most employees have been there since the beginning, little turnover. They leave you alone for the most part, no IM, no nasty e-mails, aren't calling every day for you to work extra, occasionally offer a bonus. Schedules are Sunday-Thursday or Tues-Sat, not clocking in.
do any of you do something extra on the side
My hands kill me just about every day now, and looking at my hands i have muscle breakdown and twitching, so i'd like to cut down on typing. Want to find something to do on the side to earn maybe 1000 to 1500 dollars a month. Was thinking about ebay, but i'm doubtful I could make that much, even though they hype up the advertisement by saying you could make 3000 MINIMUM. I'm just desperate and feel like my hands are about to fall off. I've spent close to 1000$ this year alone in keyboards, gloves, splints, doc visits, meds, changed my station around, hot soaks, cold soaks, exercises, stretches, vitamins. still my hands just sing every day esp at night. So any extra money earning ideas you guys? thanks
MDI is asking for MTs to do extra work
Honestly, I do not know where you are getting your info from. MDI is really busy, so that leads me to believe you do not work for us. If you want more work, please call me at the office (or you should have asked your TL). I sent out a mass e-mail Wednesday night asking for help, help and more help.
Hope you are making honest posts. If you are, then I really would like you to call me either at home or at the office. My home number is listed in TT (although most of my MT's have it already).
Thanks,
Liz
Extra Work!
Does anyone know of any MTSOs that use MTs p.r.n. or on our own time?
extra work
I'd be happy to share, just E-mail me. Am not that familiar what I can or cannot put on reply message
But can you work extra
hours if you need them in order to reach your line requirement?
can you do extra if work is available - nm
nm
would you happen to need someone to take the extra
I'd like to get some prn work, or even a bit extra each day, especially on the weekends. If your account would allow it, and depending on the manner in which the files would need to be played, etc, I'd be happy to help. Let me know if you'd like my email addy.
-sede-
Thank you..but no it only spaces an extra...
line between sentences. Instead of each line one under the other it actually adds an extra line space to double it but thank you anyway. I appreciate the help.
That is the BASE ... you get EXTRA for
shift differential, weekend differential, QA percentage differential, and line differential - FOUR on top of the base rate. If you don't work for TT you have no business chirping in. You get paid for holidays whether you are scheduled or not. You rotate Thanksgiving and Christmas, never both in one year. I have been around the MTSO block. Transtech is the BEST. Period.
Extra work at KS?
Do you have the opportunity to work extra at KS? If you do, do you get paid OT for it?
Extra job security, anybody do this?
I recently took on another job, this one part-time. I had been working for several months for a company that was constantly running out of work. This way I can always be sure there will be work in one place or other. I think in these economic times we have to protect ourselves. Anybody else do this? How does it work for you?
Yes, I just wanted a little extra job to help ...sm
because the work has been really slow the last couple of months where I am. But I don't hear anything. Most don't reply at all.
MQ same situation. No pay for working holidays, no pay for working weekends nothing. Now noone works
much anymore and so they jerk the work out of the accounts to some place that throws it back with a lot of bad bad quality. This is the NE region. I dont know what the others are doing.
Has any company said thank you to those who have picked up the extra
work for those who are "out of service" from the hurricane? I have worked my fingers to the bone to keep a few accounts happy, no thanks, no overtime, no bonus. Guess I am the dummy here.
It means it does not pay extra for paragraphing,
underlining, bolding, new lines, etc., or any of the unseen characters or Keystrokes required to make a certain function, i.e., if you bold the word bold, it is 4 characters + 1 character after the word for the white space, but nothing for the control+B to make the word bolded, nor no keystroke for the space bar, as that is a white space.
This is a lot. When I worked for Transcend, I got a whole 0.025 extra for CMT. nm

There's no extra for that. It's just part of the job more and more lately. And the worst of th
s
Yup, and there's the extra hours gained
Gives nearly a whole extra day to get the work done because of the date/time line.
Mandatory extra hours?? How many?
nm
I should have said old hires used to get double; now all will get extra 4 cpl;
nm
they dont want extra, they wont take it.

Ask for extra work, they are probably willing to give it if it's there. nm
nm
Should get extra for 3rd shift 99% ESLs!...nm
Do you have the option of paying extra...
for fedex or UPS delivery? What's it like to QA there? I definitely could not afford to wait a week for my paycheck.
I wonder if this is the new pay plan coming out. How do you get the extra 2 cents. What do you have
to do for that.
Dental and vision are separate and extra. sm
I don't know how much, though, because I tossed the info on it as the provider list for the dental was SO LIMITED it wasn't even worth it, I couldn't get any dentist I wanted.
one of my companies gives an extra 8,000 per quarter for bonus
