Is it set in stone that you have to work a weekend day with Webmedx? Is there any way around that?

They know we don't want those shifts unless the pay is
Which in turn gives the MTSO an 'excuse' to offshore more and more of their work.
split shifts, yes
That definitely would help, also wrist splints, but flexible support ones help as well.
Split shifts
I used to work a split shift until recently. I just couldn't do it. I would get up at 6:00 a.m. work until 11:00 a.m. or noon with breaks in there to get my son ready for school, etc. I would do the daily household stuff that goes along with raising a family and then return to work by 8:00 p.m. and work until 11:00 p.m. I am not much of a night owl so I found it particularly hard to concentrate that late at night especially if it had been a particularly difficult day around here.
I have just recently switched to doing my work all at once and love it. I find myself much more productive and able to concentrate better as opposed to previously. My kids love it because it doesn't seem like mommy is always working to them any longer.
I say if you feel that you are more productive at night and able to stay awake then go for it. It may work for you.
What are the typical hours for 1st, 2nd, 3rd shifts ... sm
or are they different with every company? What is the difference in pay for 2nd and 3rd shifts? TIA
How many of you work split-shifts?
For those of you who work split-shifts, do you like it better? Do you find yourself being more productive? I am thinking of doing this. After 4 hours, I just cannot make myself sit anymore. My butt goes to sleep, I get antsy...just wondering if anyone else felt the same way?
I work 4 ten-hour shifts...
Sat thru Tues. My DH is on a rotating 12-hour 3 on/4 off shift and we have at least 2 days off together. I love it; I start at 4 am but I am done at 230 and have all day to do what I want and rarely run out of work.
what exact hours constitute 2nd and 3rd shifts? nm
Not stay at home, but opposite shifts. My advice:
Make sure you always say thank you. It's a MUST for a man. My husband and I decided to work different shifts years ago so that the kids wouldn't have to go to daycare. Now I'm at home, but he still works 3rd shift for the same company that he's been with for 7 years because he likes it.
I've always thanked him. I'd get home from work and he'd have dinner cooking and I'd say, "I"m so lucky to have you!" And even if I didn't care for the dinner choice, I'd shut up and eat it. :)
Even just little things now, like if he washes the dishes or vacuums because he knows I'm on a deadline, I'll always say, "Thank you for doing that, you're such a big help."
Trust me, boost the old ego and those pots and pans won't sit in the sink. Complain one time that he missed a spot and you'll be scrubbing the broiler pan.
Forced to work scheduled shifts..no flexibilty..what gives??? So frustrated.
I started MT two years ago for a medical clinic of about 100 doctors. I am now working at home. I get paid hourly 10.50/hour. My employer will NOT let us work flexible shifts. I have to work a standard 8 hour shift with a one-hour lunch break that is unpaid.
I got into this field because I wanted to work from home and have FLEXIBILITY. I have a toddler under the age of 4 and when I interviewed and shared my reasons for wanting to work at home (my children) I was told I was a "great fit" and then I get in my home and am told there is ZERO flexibiity and I have to work 8 hours straight just like in-house people! This is extremely stressful for me having a small child and I don't make enough money to afford daycare.
I started working with Medquist part-time for extra money and AGAIN I was told I would have to work a set shift, with no flexibility.
Where are the jobs that you guys have where I can work my own hours? Sitting here typing 8 hours straight everyday with a demanding toddler is starting to wear on me, but I need this job badly.
What gives? I thought the nature of working at home with MT is flexiblity and every job I've applied for in MT has given me NONE. 
Disagree...ESLs tend to dictate graveyard shifts....nm
I work four 8 hr shifts, home based for hospital.. hourly plus incentive.

I agree with splitting shifts to get more rest, etc. I just had a baby and my line count went down
for the first trimester, peaked for the second, then back down for the third. My only advice is PLAN for that drop in the third trimester by working when you can in the second, then if the drop doesn't happen, great, you're ahead of the game. I ended up on bedrest and in the hospital, so take care of yourself and I know it's hard, but hopefully the bills will not put too much pressure on you.
WEBMEDX
can anyone tell me their experience with this company????? Desparate for info.
WEBMEDX DOES
Webmedx allows a window of time for the MT to work their required hours.
WEBMEDX!
Definitely Webmedx! 
WebMedX
Has anyone worked for MebMedX? Was thinking about applying.
Webmedx
Have worked for Webmedx now for many years - great company!! They have treated me very well as an MT - flexible schedule, good pay, great incentive pay, etc., plus they have very affordable insurance. I say go for it!
Webmedx
Their highest level is 4. I was just hired at that level.
webmedx
I'm a level 4, and I don't make 10 cpl - how did you swing that?
Webmedx - do they have ICs?
Any info about this company would be appreciated.

About WebMedX
Does WedMedX provide a computer too? What about for PT? Thanks.

WEBMEDX DOES NOT
Webmedx uses their own proprietary program, not Dictaphone ExText.
webmedx
Just a heads up for Webmedx -- they're a great co. but find out how much of their work is ESL and if that's what you really want.
Webmedx
In fact, Spheris just downgraded their insurance this year to where its a joke. Corporate kept the good policy and MT's got the crap policy "because they use it too much".
Webmedx has very decent BCBS, and costs less than Spheris because Webmedx pays a large portion of the premium for the employee. That shows they care about their MT's. I'm glad I made the change.
NOT WebMedX
According to a recent WebMedX ad on the Job Seeker's Board, they DO NOT ACCEPT Satellite.

Working for WebMedX
I have worked for them for over 6 months now. I really like working for them. Pay and benefits are good. I haven't seen much overtime and sometimes they are low on work (only around Labor Day), but they will train you so you have backup accounts. Good people. They treat you well and have good communication, but don't nag at you. They are flexible for your working hours. They pay shift differential and weekend differential. Pay is based on experience level...and the tests are a little tough for some people. The accounts they have are all great, as far as I can tell, with good dictators for the most part. I'm a high level 4, so I get ESLs, but they aren't too bad. Training is easy to understand and their platform is so easy to use. They use Shorthand. I give them a thumbs up!! My experience has been pretty good. I have worked for several nationals before them and they are, by far, my favorite and seem to be the most fair pay-wise. Hope the info helps.
Webmedx offered me 10 cpl
They require at least 1000 lines per week. Incentive of 11 cpl over a certain amount of lines per week. This was for their highest level (3). I think they have a lot of ESL though.
Not my company, but I think WebMedX has you do this. nm

OldTymer, are you still with Webmedx?
I saw one of your old posts searching archives, I think 2003. You said you were very happy with company. Still hold true?
CHECK OUT WEBMEDX
Check out Webmedx.
WEBMEDX - reviews?
Not enough work at my current job - need a company that offers ER-only work. Anyone work for them that could share an opinion? Would love also to hear how much they pay. Thanks so much!
Webmedx has the best benefits, all around sm
that I have encountered with a service. I end up using my PTO for sick days and other, but if I didn't, I would have 10 paid days of vacation; 5 days the first year, 10 days the next 4 years. No sick leave, per se, just all called PTO. Health insurance is reasonable for an individual, high for family. But the insurance is really good coverage.
Webmedx will take anyone. They even take recent sm
graduates and pay them to do acute care, with no experience. I don't think they would care that your acute care was in the past. Just empathize it, and demand a decent line rate. It is all going to ASR, anyway, and you will become an editor, just like the other very experienced MTs.
I got a job with WebMedx from this site.
I bet the company is Webmedx too. nm
WEBMEDX is a joke
This company is bologna. They expect you to be released from QA within 1-3 days, even though you need to learn an entirely new platform. The QA mentors in training will pick your work apart, take hours upon hours to get back to you with feedback, and then you will be blamed by your Supervisor for POOR QUALITY. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME with this SCAM.
if it is feasable, split that 6-hour shift into two 3-hour shifts. sm
i work a split shift and find that i am much better able to stay focused and get more work done that way. also, being 3 months pregnant you have gone through the very tiring time of pregnancy and you should start seeing an energy perk before long.
Does anyone know--Is Sean Carroll at Webmedx..
the same Sean Carroll who was CEO of a company by the name of Transquick out of Atlanta about 10 years ago? Just curious.
does webmedx hire clinic

Need to hear from successful MTs at Webmedx
I heard about their incentive program. It is really that good? Can you make a lot of $$ there? Do they run out of work?
Webmedx 10 cents a line for IC.
.
Webmedx, probably about 300 MTs. is that large or small?
x
Webmedx supplies all equipment. They do have a (sm)
pretty high ratio of ESLs, but the QA is really good here. They DO NOT penalize for blanks or sending reports to QA. I don't know about family insurance, but single is very reasonable, BCBS. They also offer dental and vision.
WEBMEDX Rad accts-anyone know platform..
is it all internet based or do you have to have a phone line, C-Phone, etc? Very interested in applying but work now strictly via internet. Thanks for any input!
