Working over 8 hour schedule - 1TiredMT


Posted: May 12, 2013

As an exTranscender, I'm used to working over 8 hours to get in my minimum. We can't do this with Nuance (as I've found out) but curious of there is some leeway there. I had gone over 4 hours so obviously that is too much. Anybody squeezing in a little extra hour or 2?  There's not a way to make 186 lph on this account in 8 hours. Help?

it's possible if you have a good supervisor... - anon

Ask your TL about it, if they are a good one they should be adaptable!

I'm on a 4 days in a row, 10-hour-day schedule. I think the only rule is you need a 30-min break if you do 8 hours in a row(?) Cannot remember for sure, but I do a split shift 7 and 3 hours, Sun-Wed.

At the other big one, we got email stating NO OT. Made it sound - as if 1-2 min too much. nm

Days Not Working Schedule?
Mar 07, 2012

What constitutes missing scheduled shifts?  I thought it was 3 days - now told its 2?  I had internet connection problems and we all know how that is!!  I called and LM on supv VM but she apparently SAYS she didnt get it and apparently now they have to answer to the "HIGHER UP SUITS" on why her direct reports did't work their shifts.  She didn't even address the days I couldn't work -- it was all about clocking out 15 min. early weeks earlier -- really???  ...

Working For $4 An Hour
Nov 21, 2010

I am two months into my first MT position. I get to work at home, which is a wonderful thing for me  because my husband is ill. However, I am earning about $4 per hour because I am so slow.  I am accurate, but slow.  Is there a money curve where I should eventually get fast enough to at least make it to minimum wage?  I'm paid 5 cpl so I knew my pay wouldn't be big, but $4 an hour seems very sad to me because I have a year of training and going down to the school s ...


Does Anybody Out There Actually Have A Working Swap Board With A Long Schedule Posted?
Apr 29, 2010

Does anybody out there actually have a working swap board with a long schedule posted?  I'm getting so frustrated with this supposedly wonderful tool for us to have.  My schedule is never posted farther out than my current work week nor are any available shifts listed farther out than that.  I'm really starting to wonder why the CCM is dragging feet so much.  CCM has mentioned everything from "unsure schedules are correct" to "waiting for all the kinks to get out."  However, any t ...


"...have 12 Hour Window To Complete Your Daily Schedule."
Nov 25, 2012

This may sound like a good thing, like they're allowing flexibility with your shift, but the reality is that with frequent NJA, it'll take you 12 hours of hovering over your computer just to get 8 hours of pay. What a crock. ...

Average Per Hour With 0.75 Or 0.375 Versus $12.00 Per Hour
Mar 31, 2014

My transcription job was always paid by the hour. I was laid off and they recently offered me a temp position with them making $12.00 an hour.  I was also offered a positon that pays 7.5 and 3.5 cpl.  The $12.00 is employee status for a small local company I worked for over 9 years.  The other is an IC position.  Do you think I would make more with the $12.00 an hour or the per line production rate?  I have never done production by line work so I'm not sur ...

QA Schedule?

Hi all ~ I am curious how frequently QA is performed at your hospital.  We had been on a 2-reports-reviewed-quarterly schedule, but it seems QA is being pushed further and further onto the back burner because we've been so busy.  My boss would like for me to get a feel for what others are doing out there.  I've worked at some hospitals that didn't do QA, ever, so I didn't have anything I could tell her.   ...

Schedule Compliance
Jun 30, 2011

So, our CCM sent out an e-mail that she has received a directive that if we are not working our exact schedule, we are going to receive an oral warning and then be performance managed. If there is no work, we have to put in a Q-Care ticket or we will be performance managed. Remember when we first were pitched the idea of working at home? One of the points was that we could be flexible in our schedule. Now we are just slave wages on an assembly line with no deviation in schedule. Just anot ...
