There is a list of the holidays they pay for somewhere... I can't remember which exactly, but you get like pay and a quarter for lines that day or something weak I believe.

25% bonus - CrankyMT

Unlike overtime, which is calculated by hour... holiday pay is a bonus of a whopping 25%. So, instead of 4 cpl, you get 5. Or instead of 8, you get 10!

25%....sm - LoveMT

That 5 instead of 4 and 10 instead of 8 is really nice IF there happens to be enough work on your account for it to actually add up to "something extra". Most holidays on my accounts have next to no work and I usually end up making like half of what I would in a normal day.

That's not quite how they figure it. - SM

It's not 4 to 5 or 8 to 10. It's 25% of your average hourly rate. Say you are typing 2000 lines a day. Take that 2000 and divide by 8 to get your lines per hour. Take your lines per hour, which would be 250, and multiply that by 0.04. Your average hourly rate is 10.00. Then you take that 10 and multiply by 0.25 (2.50). So it adds up to 20 dollars extra for a holiday in this scenario where one assumes you are actually able to work for 8 hours and that there is enough work. Also, remember, your average hourly rate is calculated by what you have produced over that pay period, not just the one holiday day, so it could and usually does come to less than 25% if you think about it.

miniscule - YD

Holidays are New Year̢۪s Day,
Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. You earn an additional 25% of whatever your normal line rates are. Can you spell cheap?

Nuance Disincentivizes Good MTs To Do Extra Work/OT
Mar 14, 2014

My primary right now has a lot of work. I would like nothing more than to work until midnight and clear the work.  Pre FIESA I would have done so. However, I lost the production bonus for this quarter (and boy that hurts - that is $50-100 a week I am missing) and I am probably one error (and we know how easy that is when you are doing a lot of work) from getting next quarter's taken away, so no thank you. I assume they will get me anyway, probably the last few days of the month when I ...

Holiday Bonus From Web/Nuance
Dec 14, 2011

Well, let me think about this....I just checked Fiesa and I have two 100% reports in there.  I'm normally off Thurs/Fri.  So if I just don't work anymore chances are good I will stay right at that 100%.  If I do (and I KNOW I'll get the worst dictators AND my backup account I rarely work on, happens every time in this situation)....but chances are HIGH that I will get that worked audited and then drop below 100%, prob evening falling off the "grid" and/or having to ...


Why Do They Keep Asking For Extra Hours?
Nov 10, 2009

I don't know about you all but my CCM is constantly asking us to work "extra," even when there are no late jobs and not an over abundance of dictation.  What is the deal?  The other night we were requested to work at least 1 extra hour.  Tonight they are asking again.  I don't know about you all but I have a family and other things I like to do other than work.  Don't they realize we have lives away from MQ???  Besides, that extra hour is really not g ...

Where Does The Extra Money Go?
Sep 27, 2010

I assume that the MT companies set up a contract with the client for them to pay on a per-line basis.  Of course, they charge more than they pay us; that's how they make their money & that's fine.  But what I'm wondering is... when we get a report that comes in as VR instead of straight typing, where does the extra money go, since we get paid less for VR.  I feel like I work just as hard, if not harder on VR than typing a report.  So why don't we make ...

Why I Will NEVER Work EXTRA

Every time that I log onto the system, I am reminded how disrespected, how underpaid, how unappreciated that I truly am. So - MTSO - you can publish your "SOS, EXTRA HELP NEEDED!" messages all you want.  If it ever comes down to your being willing to PAY for me to give precedence to YOUR needs, perhaps I'll consider it.  MEANWHILE, GO SUCK AN EGG, YOU BLOODSUCKERS!! ...

January 26 is Republic Day in India.

Maybe we will have some extra work.  Some of them will be working, but not all I would imagine.  Whoo. ...

Extra Work Slows Down No Pay
Apr 07, 2014

When I get partial dictation reports on EditScript where you don't have to do anything in regards to header/demographics, my speed in terms of lines per hour is almost twice as fast. When there are so many new worktypes with new MT Instructions, the speed goes way down. When the header shows no medical record number and I have to enter in demographics what speaker dictates, the speed goes way down. The point is that I think every one of the reports should be like partial dictations in wh ...

Needing More MT Experience -- Extra School?

I am hoping that some of you can give me your thoughts about this. I have been an MT for about 14.5 years and lost my job about six months ago to the facillity going front-end ASR (I think). I basically transcribed only one specialty for that time, although in the beginning I did some gastro and chiro for a private practice. I have very little experience in doing the basic 4, I do have a little in DS, H&P and consults. No experience in OPs. I have been searching for jobs in my speci ...
