Etrans Plus - set hours? - sm - Jill
Posted: Apr 07, 2011
I have read the archives on pay and line count but can anyone tell me if they make you work set hours? Would their full-time go by lines or hours worked?
Thanks.
you do have a schedule - mt

I have a set schedule and I have to type at least 12,000 lines a pay period to continue to be full time with benefits.

I have been there for a few months. How long did it take you to reach the line count of 1200 a day? I have never had a problem pulling in those lines except with this company. TIA
as long as... - mt

the system doesn't freeze or I don't get kicked out I do ok. I have two backup accounts now too so that helps, but I rarely have to type for them. If their system (acuity) was better then I would never have problems. Is that your problem too or just not enough work?

I guess I am still learning my doctors, and I will get to the 1200. I google a lot to research, and clicking in and out of acuity to google slows me down. Do you know how to make your own templates in shorthand? Is that allowed? Thanks.
Does anyone know anything about the Medquist/eTrans Plus buy out. I know 2 members of management were "let go." Has Medquist put their MTs on eTrans Plus' accounts? Work seems to be low. ...
Could have saved myself some weekend anxiety. The 877 call in number was Medquist. The CEO tremored through the whole accounce of the buyout. HUH eat my foot they will recognize and keep everything intact. When I asked for Federal Leave when Q bought Spheris they would NOT recognize my time. eTrans made an "error" last pay taking away all my PTO. The sweaty CEO has a bad conscious because eTrans will make as much as MTs in India. Now I know what the Plus in Etrans stood for. ...
Please don't discourage me from applying to Nuance. I just lost my job today and I need a job BAD! Plus, I've only got two semesters of college left before I graduate and move out of this field. Anyway, can someone tell me what 2nd shift hours are? And I'm curious to know when most of you work.
Thanks ...
Somehow, I think we should be getting paid for the time we are waiting between jobs, especially since the wait isn't fitting into the 15-minute wait period. - Of course, waiting put under work availability. ...
...check it out for yourselves. Employees are not independent contractors. If you signed up for a straight 8 per day, your time sheet should reflect only the breaks you take off the clock. They are so messing with you folks! ...
I understand with 24 hours you get PTO, but can you be scheduled for less than 24. That is a lot for a PT position. Most companies only require 20 per week. ...
Which is correct? I thought I had remembered something from the BOS (which I can't find in my office right now) that said if the dictator said q 8 hours then it should be spelled out as every eight hours. Is that correct or am I losing my mind? ...
I know there are so many on here who are fed up with Medquist. But, can anyone tell me if there is any shift or days that work is usually available? Overnight shift? Evenings?
I have 2 friends who work for MQ and they are not out of jobs when they work. (well, that's what they tell me). They said it actually just depends on the account.
Is anybody here OK with MQ, maybe not perfectly happy, but not destitute either?
TIA ...
Ok, I'm not as fast as I used to be and the doctors keep giving names of physicians that are not on their list and are spelled different ways so I take the time to look them up because blanks are not a thing I like to leave on a report. Today we get an email that we can no longer work off the clock which for me is a problem. Do you take the time to look things up like that or what do you do to get past the OCD of trying not to leave a blank? I feel like MQ is chasing ...
I thought if we logged 7 hrs/day was considered okay, but now I'm getting notices that it is supposed to be 8 hrs/day - 8 hrs a day of actual transcription is pretty hard to concentrate - the mind and body has to take breaks! ...
I am planning on going PT, the least amount of PT as possible as I have been diagnosed with CHF and atrial fib and the stress of this job will wind up killing me. I am already on partial retirement, so just need a few extra hours/week. What is the least amount of PT hours a person can work? Thank you. ...
I have 13 hours left to work at this company and then I am done. I am typing what I consider good grammar for the ESLs and not worrying about an audit. My blood pressure has come down. I am cruising, not swearing and can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and it is not a train. This company has been wonderful to me for most of my time as an MT. I am saddened by the changes that have happened in the last few years. I am going to work in Central Supp ...
I noticed when I took a day off without pay, at the end of the pay period, the PTO earned shown in UltriPro was only 4.14 hours instead of 4.62.
Does this mean if we take any of that 104 hours of unpaid time off they were so generous to give us, our actual paid time off will be cut? Has anyone else noticed this? How sleezy. ...
Does anybody work less than 20 hours? I now work 24 hours, but due to a medical condition, I am finding it hard to work 24 hours, 16 would be much better. Does anyone know if they make exceptions to the rule of at least 24 hours? ...
How are you all getting your hours in with the current low volumes? I do not work without being paid so I will NOT sit around 16 hours a day waiting for a report or 2 to come trickling in. Is everyone having this issue. I used to have a couple of exclusives who, since the TSM was let go, are no longer exclusives with no explanation as to why the change. So now I am pretty much at the mercy of what comes in and when, and as I said, I don't give any company my time without compensation fo ...
Does anyone work 12 or 16 hours/week? I see in the policies there are such hours that can be worked. I am wondering how to go about switching. Should I just tell my manager next pay period I have to switch to 12 or 16 hours? It is due to medical conditions and I just got disability but I find I need a little bit more money/month to feel safe. Im wondering if they will give me grief. I have been here 17 years and always pass my audits, the last 2 audits were 99 ...
