Scheduled? OMG. That is so sad!

Yes, scheduled
It was my regular shift. I do PT Sun-Thu, 2nd. I do a combination of VR/regular. Had no problems today, thank goodness
If you are a very scheduled person sm
and are good at staying on task, etc., then I would advise you to go for it! I am horrible at keeping a good schedule - but I do have a second job and when I have 2 I find I actually work better because I know I have to knuckle down and get it done or else. Best of luck to you if you decide to take it on!
I mean that if you are scheduled for a day, you cannot just take off and make it up at the end of t
They expect you to follow your schedule and if you are on a flexible account, they expect you to get the volume that you commit to. This is any job, not just transcription. They have all employees; if someone needs to be able to work only when they can without a schedule, then KS is definitely not the place for them. That is more of an IC position. If you are an ortho or clinic MT, a lot of the accounts have 24-hour TAT and can be flexible, so it is all in what you are looking for and each account is different.
I once had a second job that was just for certain scheduled hours.
It was an easy account so lines were not a problem either way. They never mentioned a minimum line count. I was expected to empty out my queue on the dictaphone if I could, but they were great about not putting too much on. If I didn't finish it I just had to let them know so they could do what was left. It was a small local company that just had one cardiology group account. Keep looking, you may find what you need yet!
Huh? It's scheduled for June 2. nm

Were you scheduled to work?
I know sometimes when I'm not scheduled to work but have to make up hours or lines, I don't get work when I log on.
I was slow yesterday but had work. (It was my scheduled weekend, for those who think I'm trying to steal work.)
not picky about punching in right when you are scheduled,
just so you get your work done. Also, remember the time clock and punching in out keeps track of your lines per hour which the more lines per hour the more you are paid. Its not bad at all!!!
Can't work when you're scheduled
They have plenty of work but can't get into their system. They either have too many working or not enough.
Superior does on your scheduled days off.
Great company to work for!!
I'm scheduled to start soon, now I'm worried.
Somehow I'd gotten the idea they had improved their ways of treating people over the last year or so. I'm beginning to wonder if Focus is even worth trying out.
If you are working a scheduled shift, you are an

I work MY SCHEDULED Hours, do you?
Let's not fight about this. I stated some do not and then scramble on the weekends to make up time, then the work is low on Monday, WHICH IS MY SCHEDULED DAY.
If you are not scheduled to work the holiday, then
you shouldn't unless the call goes out for extra help.
If you jump on when you're not scheduled to work and you have all your hours and lines, you're just taking away from those that are scheduled to work. Don't be greedy.
If the holiday is your scheduled day to work....
then you work, unless you have pre-scheduled the time off. There is a holiday line bonus added onto lines worked on the holiday.
How do we figure when they say 1-1/2 lines ^outside^ of your scheduled hours
Is that your lines, i.e. 500 lines x1/2 = 750 lines total.
Is that what 1-1/2 lines mean? Confusing. How in the world can we tell if we get paid for those by the line counting method we use, Ichart?
At MQ you have to work your full scheduled hours.
They need the have all the hours covered for stats and such. I dont understand the 2 different offers for FT, I would think the latter would be PT. If you get paid by production then it would be entirely up to you how many hours you wanted to work a day. Does the 8 hour day pay more or have better benefits?
I was scheduled to work Christmas this year for TT as well....sm
But on Monday my DD went in for emergency surgery. I did not even come home for the first 2 days and only made 1 call to the office to explain early in the week. My DD was finally discharged on Christmas only to return to the ER last night. Do you know what TT's answer was with my 1 measly phone call and one abbreviated email I had time for to them? Family comes first - PERIOD. So, I am on trying to help out today if they need me and I will be GLAD to suffer thru some low work time and stare at a blank screen for a company who has those kinds of values. I VERYMUCH appreciate my job with TT and all that they stand for...
The sun'll come out tomorrow - saw in my bank that it's scheduled to go through then. (nm)

Do the MQ firm scheduled start immediately or in January? nm

For people with other things scheduled in a busy life
That does not work.
At Webmedx, if you're scheduled for 35 hours, you may find (like I did) that (sm)
you have to do 40 due to the time clock situation.
Lanier accounts have specific scheduled times.

Once again OT offered - no work for my scheduled shift at Wbmdx. sm
I think OT is great, took advantage of some Friday myself, but for goodness sake, don't just go off for the weekend leaving OT offered when the counts are WAAAY down. Can the Solution Center take OT off or do they have to wait for supervisors/etc. to do so. When someone comes on for OT and they give them blocks of 10, doesn't take long to run the rest of us totally out of our shift. Love everything else about this company, but..... this sucks.
Workload has reached a manageable level with everyone working scheduled hours.
Voluntary OT is still available on some accounts.
Interviews...
On average, I was wondering how long takes to hear back from companies? I just started job-searching as I wanted to get away from MQ, and they apparently want to get rid of me as I just received a written warning. This leaves me a little worried though. I have applied for 5 jobs in the past few days (MedScribe, Phoenix MedCom, Chronicle, Summit and Tarheel), and I'm worried that I might not find a new job in time. I have 11 years of experience, and I have been working for Medquist since 2004. Any info on your job-searching experience would be appreciated :) TIA :)
MT company interviews
Don't be nervous. I don't think an MT company phone interview is like a regular interview in a lot of ways--definitely not worth worrying over.
They want to know your experience. They want to know you'll be able to do the work. If you have both, you have nothing to worry about.
Remember, it's an INTERview, meaning this is not something they do to you, it's something you do with them. Bolster yourself up, lady, and remember you want to know if YOU want to work for them. Get your questions ready! You don't want to get into a bad situation, so you'll talk with them and make sure they're a good fit, right? Writing some questions out might help you get in the right frame of mind as well as help you remember while you're on the phone that you are not powerless here.
two recent interviews
I thought you might enjoy these two tidbits from recent interviews with unnamed companies. When I asked the first recruiter/owner about the insurance they offered in their ad, I was told that contract had lapsed and there was not a new one signed yet. She went on to volunteer her opinion that people are better off without health insurance -- that way you can use the free clinics (TRUE story). The second one advertised 8.5 to 10 cpl transcription and 0.4 to 0.5 VR. Unfortunately, those positions (although I applied within minutes of the post) were filled but I was offered 8 cpl transcription and 0.3 VR. Bait and switch much?
INSURANCE INTERVIEWS
Anyone working in insurance interviews for Medscribe? I would like to know your experience with it.
Insurance Interviews
I have experience doing insurance claims reports for a local insurance company. I get $3.00 a page, so I was a little wary about the $1.50. It is very easy work if the tapes are clear. I was thinking of applying, but I wasn't sure if it would be worth it. Has anyone else applied yet?
Have interviews with Axolotl and Webmedx. Need opinions from CURRENT MTs about their future
I have interviews for an Acute Care MT position (employee, not IC) with both Axolotl and Webmedx and would like some CURRENT feedback before I make a decision. Have been an Acute Care MT for over 30 years and want to “plant” myself at my LAST job before retirement. Getting too old to keep going through these testing/interview processes. 
I have researched both Axolotl and Webmedx and to no surprise the poster either hates 'em or loves 'em. It seems like both companies have gone through some major changes during 2006 and plan more changes in the future – good or bad – depending on who is replying. From preliminary information, they seem to be comparable in pay, both provide the computer, insurance is reasonable at both, and other benefits are close to identical, which is making it hard for me to swing one way or the other without more information.
I would really appreciate either a post or E-Mail from CURRENT (or newly former) employees of Axolotl and Webmedx with their opinion as to if they feel reasonably confident they can continue to make a comfortable living over the next few years (or at least not have drastic downward changes in their future incomes), where they think their employers are going in the future, if they are comfortable with the direction they are taking (job security), and if they think they will still be working for the company in say 5 to 10 years (or at least plan to, baring unforeseen circumstances). Any information you care to share on ESL and achieving/maintaining minimum lines per pay period would also be helpful. Any other information you would care to share would also be greatly appreciated in my attempt to decide the PROS and CONS of these two companies.
Needless to say, I would love to hear any negatives in case I need to go in a totally different direction. Any former employees who would care to share why they left would be very insightful too.
Any information you have will certainly help in my decision making. Thank you in advance.
My only contact with them was rude. The front office person or whomever schedules interviews is rude
This was about a year ago but I set up an interview and either I was supposed to call them or they were to call me at a certain time but I totally spaced off the time change. The lady went off on me and told me that they had no interest in me because I couldn't call on time etc. Rude. There is no way I would ever work for someone like that.
