Do we still get shift diff? - mmonster
Posted: Feb 06, 2012
I searched the new site high and low and nothing states that we get shift diff still. It was like .005 cents for some hours and .01 for others at night. Thanks guys.

we got (I think) 3/4 of a cent between the hours of 9 to 6 (EST), not sure in the other time zones. I do know it is not separated on our paychecks anymore since going to UltiPro. If that has changed, I never got a memo on that.
You are correct - We just cannot see it anymore

It's still there. On your paystub, if you divide how much you made by the number of lines, you will see that you made a little more per line than your recorded pay rate. Ignore the Piece Rate section; I have no idea what it is and it changes with every check.
Just look under Pay Earning Detail - No name

Amounts earned for shift differential are on Ultripro on the Pay Earning Detail tab.
Shift differential is applied to lines transcribed after, say, 6pm. MQ's shift diff was 1/2 cpl for lines transcribed 6pm-midnight EST, and 1 cpl for lines transcribed midnight-6am EST. Now, it appears MQ's shift diff is 3/4 cpl for lines transcribed 9pm-5am EST.
CMT differential is simply an increased line rate, regardless of when the lines are transcribed. It's basically a higher rate of pay for obtaining certification. The shift diff would be in ad ...
I don't see any shift diff on my stub, how do you know if you qualify? I know dumb question right? at one time I was told that since I was "hourly" and tier 3 I was at the highest rate already, but then they changed us to production pay, so shouldn't that mean I qualify for shift diff. I will ask HR, but just curious if anyone get shift diff pay? ...
Why they don't just do away with it altogether is beyond me; they may as well, it's just an insult to our intelligence. I'd rather just them just say, "sorry, no more bonuses, no more shift diffs."
It reminds me of when they did away with the production bonus early last year but replaced it with a "raise" for all of us. It sounds good on paper until you sat down and figured it out........and for most of us the raise amounted to literally pennies a day. So ...
Should you use a period when typing C. difficile or C. diff or not? I've been typing C diff forever, and was just told to put a period after the C. ...
Is there an appreciable difference, cpl-wise, or job security-wise, between tiers 2 and 3? Is it worth it to tier up? I'm pretty happy at tier 2, but don't know whether it makes sense to stay here. ...
The doctor is listing past medical history and as one number lists the following together
C. difficile and s/l tricholitis. Any suggestions?
THANKS for any and all help!! ...
can anyone out there tell me what kind of differences there are between transcription companies? most important thing i'd like to know - are there any companies out there that actually assign accounts to their transcriptionists, where you're not getting a thousand different dictators a week and you can actually get used to how your docs dictate? i find it very hard to do different stuff all the time. i just can't seem to get used to how the docs speak, and it really slows me down ...
I've been offered an in-house MT position that I am not passing up. It is night shift 10 pm to 6 am. I've never worked a night shift ever. How should I transition into working nights? Anyone have any tips for working this shift? ...
Thinking of going back FT and quitting my current day job, but it isn't always easy to get on days. (I know the work flow tends to be spread out a little thinner day shift.) ...
Saw the ad elsewhere. Are these companies nuts?! I hope nobody takes that pay. That's equivalent to 1 cpl as an employee with benes FOR QA WORK! I get so frustrated reading some of these ads with such horrible pay. ...
I was wondering if it's really worth it to work the 3rd shift? Does the additional CPL really make that much of a difference. Does the workload stay steadier during that time? I've been offered a 3rd shift part-time job, but just don't know if it's worth revamping my entire day to work this late. Would anybody working this shift let me know how it works out as far as sleep, daytime errands, etc.? ...
I see job ads for First Shift, Second Shift, etc., and modified shifts, and I am not sure exactly what periods of time these are.
I figure they are specific hours of the day - like day, swing, graveyard shifts - but what are the hours, generally?
I have only worked as an IC with TAT. I am considering applying for some of the employee status jobs but need to clarify what these shifts are.
Thank you. ...
I thought I just got booted but logged back in no jobs will load so this means OOW.. already.. I just logged on for my shift.. NOT GOOD AND NOT HAPPY!!!! I believe I am in the South region. ...
Would anyone happen to know which company has a 2nd shift besides MModal or Nuance? I see a lot of ads for 1st or 3rd, but due to family obligations I need 2nd shift. Straight typing or speech - MT or QA (have done both). Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction. ...
Has anyone applied for these jobs? She has had the ad for quite some time I see up there. Does anyone know the name of the company? I am looking for something part time, but don't know if I should even bother. ...
Totally unhappy with current company, but do love my shift. Most jobs advertised are for 2nd and 3rd shift. Anyone know of companies that would hire for very early morning or possible split shifts? Too old at this time to think about trying night shift, but could do some evenings. Don't mind weekends at all.
Any info helpful. TIA ...
I was just curious if there is any correalation between working 2nd shift and being unable to get to sleep at night? I have been having trouble sleeping lately and wondering if it could be due to the fact that I have been staying on later typing? Wondering if its making it harder for me to sleep because its taking so long for my brain to unwind?
Anyone else have this problem? Advice appreciated. Thanks!

About 1/3 of those 100% QA reports were done by ILPs. Total average earnings per hour: a little over 4 $, but I will be paid at my state's minimum wage. Before my in-house hospital job was outsourced to an MTSO that kept the work in the country for 2 years and then sent it to India, I was being paid 19 $ an hour and also had great benefits and PTO. When did this "profession" turn into a minimum wage job ? (actually, half of minimum wage if ...
As I am getting no work during the day shift anymore, I have the chance to go third shift Sun-Thursday (11-7), either that or find a new job (yeh right), or do ASR (done it at this company, no thanks to returning there). I have never worked that one before. How/when do you sleep? Any other pros/cons about this shift? Thaniks your your advice. ...
I have been working third shift for about three months and am still having some trouble getting used to it. My question is do you work your shift then go to sleep or do you stay up until later in the afternoon and then sleep until your shift starts. I work a 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. and am trying to find the best way to be able to stay awake during my shift. I do not drink coffee. I have tried some of those energy drinks that are sugar free, which helped some, just now wond ...
