I work every holiday -- don't really mind, but would be nice to have extra pay. sm
When I worked for YOG, we got holiday pay and weekend differential. I guess those days are gone. Now, I'm just expected to work every holiday and every weekend and smile and say thanks for letting me be your slave.
I should probably stay away from the boards today ... Guess I'm Bad Mood Betty! (ha)
TN - It may take a while to get here from TX, but I will make extra!!

Why the stupid idiots called everyone to work on the holiday to make sure they meet their 1 hour TAT
time.
Pure opinion dear. I make an extra 1 cpl with CMT. As well,
I can see that you, however, are an angry, disgruntled person.
Just because YOU didn't get the bennies and YOU can't make a good living doesn't mean the rest of us are doomed to your fate!!
Can they do surgery extra fast? What do they do with the extra glove in the pack?

Extra shift or extra work
Has anyone taken on an extra job or shift with a new company for a just a few months to get out of debt or to be able to pay for something that is needed or wanted? I am thinking about taking on another job to get out of a stressful debt situation. I am just afraid I would be going into another stressful situation working more hours with the very busy family schedule I have.
Special
What is your suggestion of what is special?
Special
For starters a good high pay rate with bonuses. Good benefits including a retirement with a match by the employer. And while we're wishing, how bout a little more respect for the MTs.
Special needs son
Teacher sent home this website: www.internet4classrooms.com He actually goes on the computer and navigates around the site pretty well. I'm hoping to get some time to look at it and see what else he can do.
You are special
And maybe God knew that your stepdaughters and nieces and nephews were going to ~need~ you. HAPPY "Special Aunt Patti" DAY to you!!!!
Special Needs
I understand that everyone wants what is best for their children, I know I do. But, it is very frutrating when there are other children in the class and parents think that their child should get all the extra attention, at the expense of 20 other kids. In our district, we have more special education teachers (many specifically to work wiht ADHD children) than we do regular teachers and our gifted program got cut, because this stuff is federally mandated. I would sure like it if they mandated GT programs too.
My son is ADHD and GT as well. It is my responsiblity as a parent to work with him, both on his education and his medical issues. He was medicated through junior high and still struggled a bit, but now, as a freshman in HS, he is averaging over 95%.
It is our responsibility to do what is needed to help our children excel. Not just the schools.
You should not need anything special--sm
like adaptors or anything to plug it in to your computer. They plug in just like a CRT monitor. They are slightly different in visualization though, (colors do not seem as bright, at least to me) and they do take some getting used to, but I really like mine. I have an LG 17 inch.
special thank you
Just wanna say a special "thank you" for someone emailing me a book that will give me so much info on this topic:)
holiday day
at my company we don't get paid for holidays either...guess that is the price of being able to work at home....sucks...we can get paid by taking PTO time but I usually just work extra when I know a holiday is coming up, but frankly who wants to work during x-mas time with the hustle and bustle....
Holiday Pay
I recently began working for a service who only pays for a holiday IF you work that day (compensation of 10 cpl). However, if you don't work that day, you don't get paid. I am full time with all full-time benefits. I realize production pay is entirely different than hourly, but is this common for most transcription companies? I'm an old transcriptionist, but new to the ways of production pay. Thanks for any input!
Holiday pay
It it a little hard for me to payfor holidays when the accounts don't pay the owner for holidays. Wish I could for my help but just can't afford it. I sympathize with you truly. Guess I could pay a cheaper line rate to them year round and then be about to do it, but that does not seem fair. It is hard in this business to offer many benefits as we do not get paid unless the work is done, just like truck drivers, hair stylists, manicurists, etc.
No one ever has to pay you holiday pay.
It is a generous gesture but it isn't mandatory, you know.
There is no excuse for you to feel it is necessary to be paid for time not worked. If you want that, go back inhouse.
PTO is generous enough.
No, you will not get holiday pay until...
I was told that you have to be hitting your 11,000 per pay period for at least 90 days before you get holiday pay, benefits, etc. You can confirm this with the HR lady. They do pay for holidays once you get past this.
Holiday pay
I guess I should have stated that my gals are I/C's and they get 75 to 80% of what I get from the docs on a gross line. If I charge more to the docs, they will go elsewhere. They just type and I do all the pick up, delivery, invoicing, etc. I also just got hit by the city for my business license which just went up to 3.3% of GROSS receipts BEFORE any expenses. If your business makes less than $25K you dont have to pay for a business license but if you make $1 over the 25K you have to pay on the entire amount. So I have to pay this even on the amount that the gals make. Am not sure I can stay in this for long. The city is saying that all IC's that make over $25K should pay for a license.
Do you get holiday pay?
How many of you work for companies who give holiday pay premiums or time off with pay? Mine doesn't give either and it sucks!
Yes a Holiday
Holiday for me. 6 cents a 75-character line kind of seems a bit low, though. Was that perhaps a mistake I am wondering?
holiday
Actually, there is no solution to this problem - there are no solutions to any questions about the MT world... it's always something and I don't say that lightly.
Actually I never understood what was so special about them
I wouldn't care one way or another if I never heard another Beatles song again
You're not special, lol.

Ahhhh, but he IS special!

I never took any special courses, but I had
worked a total of almost 15 years in a hospital, first in billing, where we had to code all the diagnoses and ops ourselves, and then in another hospital in rehab, where part of my duties were transcription for that dept and some of their various clinics. After my second child was born, I quit the hospital and a friend who had 20 years in transcription taught me what I needed to learn. I got hired by one of the first company's I applied with, and have been doing this for seven years now, and love what I do!
The one by me is having an anniversary special -sm
I believe it is 1 year since they opened up. $29 a month, and the normal $149 membership fee is discounted to $49 ($100 off) for the first 100 that sign up this month. So I figured that is a good deal, plus my neighbor and I will support each other. She is very competitive so she will keep us both going. They have monthly contests there as well. I am planning to go either this afternoon to check it out or go with her tonight and sign up. I need to lose this weight before it starts affecting my health in any major ways (get out of breath with minimal exertion though) but that will not last. Plus I'd love to go up to my dad's at Christmas and be 40+ pounds lighter, I'd still be overweight but I know I'd look a lot better.
Well aren't you special!!

Ask for special file

My method, nothing special...sm
I like to look at the previous line I typed as I go, just to make sure. At the end of the report, I go up to the top of the report, glossing over to catch anything else that might not have caught my eye the first time. I feel better about it when I send it off. My expansions have gotten me in trouble before so want to make sure I don't see anything strange. I think that's what makes us specialists, not just typists:-)
Need special equipment
I did some overflow for a company that did this and it was terribly hard to hear, reception was very poor. But I do know that you need to play the tapes onto the digital player or whatever it is called and then download to your computer, upload to the FTP site. And the sound quality is not good at all, at least to me it wasn't. But good luck.
You MUST have a special pedal sm
My Infinity won't work with it and no, you can't use another player for the voice.
startstop.com, I believe it is, has a dedicated Inscribe pedal for $98. Don't get the system thingy, just the pedal. I just ordered mine, btw.
My verdict is still out on Inscribe and I think I'll like it better when I get my pedal.
You can have one built special for you
at any computer tech store. I ended up getting a refurbished laptop on ebay that had XP on it and got Word 2003 for only $39. I did buy a 2-year warranty on teh laptop, but even with that it was cheaper than buying a new one and having to have Vista deleated and adding XP and all the new drivers.
What is everyone doing for the holiday weekend? sm
We're not doing much - probably will go and see the Herbie movie at some point and of course cooking out on the grill is mandatory.
This is ONLY because of 4th of July holiday...sm
and not unheard of in the industry. You really should call your acct mgr and ask for a secondary acct. My acct mgr has been VERY accommodating. Before long all accts will be booming again, as mine has picked up today.
I am, too, wonder if it's just because of the Labor Day holiday?

Jewish Holiday

Regular pay on a holiday? (sm)
I wouldn't do it. No offense intended but I'm wondering how many places do that? I've never heard of not getting 1.5 on a holiday for working? Hey, if I could, I would give you mine since I'm not using it. Have been an MT for a long time (16+ years) and have never and will never work a holiday for straight time. As I mentioned when hired it was agreed I would not work holidays and I plan to stick to it.
Is July 4th a holiday for you?
I don't think the company I work for observes this holiday. After checking my handbook, it looks as if it is not even on the list. We have to alternate holidays and then only have to work a half shift, so it is not so bad. I was just checking to see if it was my holiday and was surprised to see that it is a regular day. I'm sure I saw it when I started with them last year, but it just didn't register with me. We had Memorial Day and will have Labor Day. I'd rather have July 4th than either of those two holidays. Is anyone else having to work that day as a regular day?
What you doing over the Labor Day holiday?
Well today is a holiday......
And if my memory serves me right that means low work until maybe mid-October? LOL!
No Holiday Work
I work for a small local nephrology office. There is no weekend work (I work 40 hours during the week) and we get all the major holidays off, so Monday was a non-working day for me.
Venting on a holiday
Anybody out there working today, LABOR DAY? Expected to work the holiday, and guess what, no work! And then when it trickles in, of course the crummy junk bottom of the bucket type which add up to no lines, and getting lots of comments from QA (who is looking for something to do, no doubt).
How about we don't work a holiday, and everyone comes to work Tuesday with stuff to type, everyone makes money?
Bad idea of course, we have to remember the TATs.
Sorry to be so crabby, but thanks for listening to he vent.
Jewish holiday
Just checked with my Jewish S/O and he said maybe Purim
holiday schedule?
Just wondering how other companies/hospitals handle the holiday schedule so as to where you will not be working the same holidays two years in a row. I am working at a hospital and this is my second year in a row working Christmas. I have worked two July 4ths in a row, too. When I asked about it, was told it is just how it falls, but if i could come up with an easier solution, to let her know. There are some companies that ask you to choose 1 winter holiday and 1 summer holiday to work, and the next year you do another. Any other suggestions on how this can be handled fairly? TIA
Saw part of a special on E-Bay last night...
One couple selling movies - I believe their yearly income last year was over 600,000... I didn't see enough to find out where they got the movies to sell, but obviously a very lucrative business. Started out as sideline, man quit his full time job and has built a whole storage building on his land in order to house their supply. I really would love to know how to do that!
Frank's special place.
Isn't he cute? He bought all of us chapsticks and a key chain. I think that is so sweet. He likes me the best of all his 10,000 transcribing chicks though.
I watched a special on TV last night
about outsourcing to India and how much they are gaining financially from this situation. It showed some of the girls out shopping in nice malls buying three and four pairs of shoes at a time. Wish I could just buy one pair!! Bring our work back home!!!
Office of Special Investigation
It is the military equivalent to the FBI.
Does it get lonely in your special little world?
Did I tell you I won the lottery and won $3567 million?
Have to agree with this poster. Nothing special! (nt)
