PT Transcenders working weekends - MDIer-to-Transcender

I also was concerned about the statement in the handbook indicating that even as PT we had to put in an 8 hour day on the weekend.  I contacted the appropriate person who informed me that the polices in the handbook are directed to Transcend MLSs that are hired “the normal way,” and not to the MDI MLSs who are coming in via the merger.  Nothing will change about the way you schedule yourself as long as our accounts stay compliant with TAT.

Like you, I am also going to be PT and I have also been informed that the time sheet is basically a formality required by the federal government for all employees.  What really counts is the $450 or $900 per pay period.  Remember, as well, that most pay periods will have 11 weekdays with the pay schedule as it is.  I worked for another MTSO who paid the 10th and 25th and it worked out really well because if you had a bad day or two, the extra day or so really helped.

I also believe that we are going to be left on the same accounts we have now, because what advantage would it be for Transcend to move us to new accounts and re-train someone else to do ours?  As far as VR, we were also told that if VR does not fit well for us, we will be put back on straight transcription.  There are numerous accounts (a few doctors that I know of in my accounts) who would not be happy with VR.  Again, Transcend insists that VR only occurs at the client's request. 

I hope this helps to set some minds at ease, at least for now.  I am still holding on with a positive attitude and if I have questions or concerns, I ask my team lead and if she does not know the answer, she sends me where I can get it.
