Amphion does not have nights or weekends
People do complain about data entry which they are not paid for but that is for basic 4.
You could ask if they have radiology or clinic which maybe a different setup. They do use Dictaphone Extext.
You don't have to work nights or weekends unless you want to.
That is exactly what I did. I know they hire PT nights and weekends. sm
I started that way and within 3 months moved to FT. They are not perfect for everyone, but I really love my job and hope that you find what works best for you!
work weekends or nights.

Re: working weekends and nights
I already do work Saturdays and nights (or try to, but it's a little hard when there is no work). I do not work on Sundays. It is my only day for my family to be together. I work six days (or nights as the case may be) a week as it is. Saturdays and nights are fine and I am happy to work them, but no work then, either. But there is also no work early mornings, hardly any during the day, almost none at night. It is as if it has all evaporated??????? I remember when all three of my accounts were plentiful and I could work as much as I wanted whenever. I do not mind flexing my schedule, but there is just no work no matter which way I flex it. What happened?
Yes, it's true you do not have to work weekends/nights
They let you choose your own work schedule when you start.  They use Dictaphone with Word.  It takes a bit of patience to get used to what you're supposed to do as far as finding the right visit or if the doctor inputs the wrong work type, etc., but as a program in general, it's simple to use.
Me work days, nights and weekends?
No I have worked so long at this now only work part-time and no more slaving like in years past.
Working weekends and holidays
Thanks, I'd like to think of myself as a nice person. Unfortunately, the place I work at is a local clinic doing nephrology work. Have you tried locally, maybe you could find something where you wouldn't have to work weekends. And oh, yes, it is paid vacation. After 5 years I get 5 weeks. I have great benefits and a 401K plan, so I'm very thankful.
Maybe, but she specifically says no weekends or holidays
Didn't want her to waste her time when I know one day per weekend is a requirement where we work. Figured she was better off with a company that would accommodate her needs.
Are you requied to work weekends and/or holidays

I don't work weekends or holidays. MT FOR 10 YEARS
NM
MID SIZED COMPANY, NO WEEKENDS OR HOLIDAYS NM
KRAZY BUT TRUE
My MT job doesn't require holidays or weekends
So I feel incredibly lucky. Not all MT's have to or want to work holidays. It's just a matter of finding the right match.
It is refreshing to see Job Posts offering 10.5 cpl and 12 cpl on weekends and Holidays. sm

On the job board, SA Wynn Inc is hiring and sound pretty decent.  The pay sounds great compared to the others.  Go for it! 


I know nothing about them, as I am on the East Coast, but I was happy to see the line rates going up from 7 cpl from the other posts.


Working holidays/weekends? I would certainly hope you are committed to
your convictions. Many people do not work holidays but it is not always a choice. If you do not want to work weekends or holidays, but the work must get done. If you are anti-working holidays and weekends, then I hope you do not expect to receive medical care or emergency treatment of any kind, that you do not shop or buy anything on weekends/holidays, do not attend any type of functions where employees must work to create a good environment for you to enjoy your life, do not go to movies, do not go out for dinner, etc. Did you ever think that these people may not want to have to work just to make your life sweet? What hypocrits.
Oops! Meant to say above 'evenings and weekends,' although it happens on holidays too.
Sorry.  Just worn out right now.
Lucky you at the lake... I'll be typing nights and weekend nights
I am a single mom, have over 25 years' experience and have to take those times... you know this is a 24/7 business and although I have to give up prime life time of leisure at these times, I figure the patient needs me, and so does my boy... so I have time off during the week during the day after I rest to do things... and guess what, I live on a lake near the beach... good luck to you!
So if Transcend uses Indians for weekends,
they have Monday through Friday only positions available for US employees?
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.
Transcend pays 3 cents per line on holidays, plus sends a handwritten card to all
employees. I have worked for many companies and I have never seen a company that cares as much as Transcend.

E-mail me if you'd like more information.
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.
What I mean is, to be paid for holidays, even if you dont work. Major holidays.

Sorry.  What I mean is, to be paid for holidays, even if you dont work. Major holidays.


Very few MTSOs pay for holidays. Some give you 6 days you can use for holidays or regular PTO, but

Shift differentials
Do companies have to pay shift differentials?
Do they have shift differentials?
What if you work nights and weekends, how high does the line rate go? Is 0.075 the base pay before any incentives?
Holidays - Is there any company who pays holidays?

Are there companies (like in the old days) who pay you for Christmas, NY, Thanksgiving, etc., MAJOR HOLIDAYS?


 


 


Not sure, may be willing to for nights and W/E.
 
Plus shift and/or weekend differentials.

What companies still pay weekend differentials? nm
x
No more shift/weekend differentials?
I'd love to know how they justify that. They've turned this into your average restaurant job, except with less time on your feet.

So, before the suits show up, let me say that I don't blame you one bit for wanting out of this dead-ender BS. I'm exploring my options myself. Best of luck to you!
No nights unless you want them at Amphion

weekend nights are actually the

slowest on my accounts.  I try to get 1/2 my lines in before lunch and then check back in the early evening to finish up.  If I wait too late, the work's all gone.  Sometimes I can't get my lines in the morning, either, because the work isn't there.  It's really hit or miss. 


For the most part I work around it, but I don't live around it.  If I don't get my lines, I don't get them.  I have a second income that really helps out.  I think it's best not to put all your eggs in 1 basket.  You never know when that basket is going to break.


No work at nights
I used to try to get my lines in the early morning before my kids got up, but there is absolutely no work in the mornings. So now I try to work during the day some, but have to wait till evenings when hubby gets home, and there is NO work at nights. On Sundays, my accounts are very low. Tired of this. In the process of job hunting.

BTW, I seriously doubt it will get better after Labor Day. It will only get worse going into the holidays.
Any info in MQ packet about shift differentials?
NT
Companies that pay shift and weekend differentials..???
I work every weekend and also evenings. It takes a lot of sacrifice on my family life and I wondered if any companies out there really do pay a differential to make it worthwhile. Thanks
Not sure, but they have a great incentive tier and differentials
and you can get those line counts. Reminds me of days working for the hospital, first time in years!
And all bonuses & differentials go back to line 1

MedWare pays shift and weekend differentials. nm

They only pay 7-8 cpl with shift differentials and bonuses giving you any "extra." nm

Another person who works nights, hello!
NM
I have One in school but work nights

As it just works out better overall.  No kids, phone calls, et cetera.  Sleep deprived??  Yes, most of the time!!  LOL


I work nights for Heartland. Overnights. sm
I have two kids and going to school full time. I never asked for a 8-5 schedule like most MTs and I don't ask for M-F either. I have to work nights to get shift differential to SURVIVE.

What a rude stance to take. I'm sorry you feel that way. I hope your job is never pulled from under you.
No they don't. There is slight increase for evenings and nights;

TransHealth just implemented an incentive plan, plus shift and weekend differentials. nm

Very good company. Incentive pay for production plus shift and weekend differentials. sm

Their platform is stable (proprietary, I've been on it for about a year and a half now).  Pay is always on time.  Good support staff.  Their insurance changed this year.  Plenty of work.  They don't overhire on their accounts from what I can see.  If anything, there is always plenty of work, which I like because I can hop on outside of my regular shift and get some more lines.  Now that they pay extra for weekends, I like to pick up some extra hours then. 


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?
