Not really because it probably doesn't exist. - Reader

This has happened before, and no I don't really expect anyone to chime in.

With MT on the decline and schools still popping up everywhere to "train for an exciting career in MT!," I have long suspected that MANY of the posts on this board boasting about making big bucks are bogus.

ONE poster claimed to be making 0.16 on T-giving.

If that were true, surely there is AT LEAST ONE MT out there, a FORMER EMPLOYEE of said company, who would chime in here. Or a fellow MT who also makes that rate who will come on here anonymously. But it won't happen.

If this were just ONE occurrence, I would chalk it up to T-giving weekend and write it off. But this has happened COUNTLESS times over the years. I still say that at least some of those posts are BOGUS.

Owners of MT schools HAVE TO make the profession look viable, and they have been known to frequent these boards, just as MTSO "suits" do.

(just under $2 for Radiology) but the platform is so cumbersome that I barely make $130 per day. If one were to go by rate of pay, $2 pp would sound reasonably good,especially since most of the reports are quite short (2-25 seconds). But waiting for downloads, saving, compiling, orders that pop up for patients other than the one you're keying in, etc. it slows the whole process down to a crawl. Not to mention the unpaid work where we have to key into Meditech hand-written values on forms the technicians scanned into PACS.

My experience has been it doesn't matter what line rate is when there is NO work. I was expected to be availble during my shift and told there would be
holiday pay at lines/half. When there is no work, they can offer anything they want. The holidays were mandatory.

Great way to get someone to work for free. You are there waiting for work that won't be there. If I was working for a hospital I would at least get paid time and a half.

Just another perk of working for an MTSO.

Here's the deal...my company says if/when you work a holiday, they will give you the equivalent hours in PTO to use later on (you work 8, you get 8 PTO). I checked with my state's DOL, and they said absolutely incorrect. You must be an exempt salaried employee for them to do this. They must pay regular employees cash money. The DOL also said that unless the company is a licensed health care facility in my state, which they are not--they only contract with ...

I generally work every holiday, and most of the time the work is rather low, but today it has been rather brisk. Thinking that I might actually make a decent wage today, I was trying to remember how our holiday pay was set up or if Memorial Day was counted as one of their "holdidays." After searching my own files as well as ENRICH I finally found it: It is. We get the enormous increase of.... wait for it.... 25%! Wow. So, for editing that's just ar ...

Last holiday (Labor Day) I was paid a differential. It is usually time and a half so going by your base you will see an additional line on your paystub of holiday lines: ex. if your base rate is 0.08 you will see holiday pay 0.1200 x 1000 lines. As far as I know, we have not received any notification that we do not get holiday pay. ...

Hi. My CCM sent out an email saying that work loads were going to be low because of the holiday and that we could take PTO for Monday if we wanted. My question is what if you don't have PTO? Does that mean you have to work the holiday or can you still request it off and just not get paid for it? I would ask CCM but she said she would be very busy and wouldn't be able to keep up with emails. Thanks ...

I have always gotten paid time-and-a-half for holiday pay on the Fourth of July, which is one of Medquist's holidays (or so it is listed as and always has been), and was told by CCM we would be paid time-and-a-half for that Monday's work done since even though it wasn't the fourth, it is when it is nationally celebrated. However, on today's paycheck I did not get any holiday pay at all!!! I went back several years to check and I always got paid this way for w ...

Did all of you have a wonderful holiday with your family or did you get to sit in front of your computer all day waiting for work to come in? If the latter, then here's a suggestion. On Webclock punch in when you started waiting and punch out at the end of your shift, unless by some small miracle you got enough work to make more than minimum wage for your shift. It's legal, it's truthful timekeeping and they must pay you for it. This will at the ve ...

Reading the material about benefits they sent me, they are pretty vague about holiday pay, so what is it - time and a half? 1.5 x lines typed? 1.5 x reports ?

I'm curious how other companies handle low work days. At the company I work for, if we have a slow day (holidays are always slow and have little to no work coming in) we are required to use PTO hours if we have them available. If we don't have PTO hours, we take the hours unpaid. I had 12 hours of PTO. We had no work Christmas day, and I had to use 8 hours. I was told a few days ago that on New Years my account will have no work and I will have to use my remaining 4 h ...
