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.

Line counts - anon

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.

ETrans Sweaty Announcement
Oct 03, 2011

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. ...

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 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 ...

Regarding The PTO And 104 Hours Without Pay...
Jun 18, 2014

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. ...

How Are You Getting Your Hours In?

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 ...


PT Hours
