what shifts offered/what shifts do you work? - new
Posted: Feb 23, 2014
I will switch to employee in a few weeks. Do they offer you certain shifts or do you pick your hours? Does everyone work weekends? How many hours per week is considered part time? Do they pay more for later shifts? Any other info ? Thanks ahead of time.
Can answer part of your question - Sm

I think everyone works either sun-thu or tues-sat.

1. They will offer you the shift(s) that need you, but of course you should let your preferences be known in case they can be met.
2. Working weekends depends on what account you have. Some accounts that have little work on weekends may not need MTs assigned to weekend days.
3. 40 hours = full time
30 hours = progressive part-time (you are eligible for all benefits including medical insurance)
Less than 30 hours = part-time, not eligible for insurance
4. Yes, there is a pay differential based on later hours worked. Any work performed between 8 pm and sometime early in the morning (maybe 5 or 6 a.m.?) automatically pays more. It's 1 cpl more for typed lines and I think 0.5 cpl more for edited lines. If your shift spans the 8 p.m. time, then work produced before 8 p.m. earns regular pay and work after 8 p.m. earns the extra pay.

Shifts Feb 13, 2011Does Medquist give you a shift time and expect you to be at your computer working during that shift? What are the shift times, for ex is first shift 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.? Thanx for any help you can give me. ...
Why Only 2nd And 3rd Shifts Available Feb 26, 2011There are companies, which I know have outsourced a majority of work to India, that are seeking US MTs but only for 2nd and/or 3rd shifts. Curious as to why seeing as how when it is 8:00 a.m. here (central) it is 7:00 p.m. in India and the rationale in sending all of our work to India is because companies supposedly couldn't find adequate coverage for 2nd and 3rd shifts here in the states, yet that is exactly what they are hiring for...no 1st shifts available, or very few, in the stat ...
TT And Bonus. It Is Only For 2nd And 3rd Shifts. Oct 31, 2010You can't tell me that all this is because of auditing and all those let go were on 2nd and 3rd shifts. Bonus money, but no increases.

Change Of Shifts Dec 21, 2010Has anyone else had the call from CCM asking you to switch shifts or to move to graveyards? What have you done? I work a late split shift already Tuesday through Saturday and got a call about why I missed work (NJA). I don't think I can work a third shift and don't know how far they will push this. They said they will float me to other BOBs in order to keep me busy when they run out of work in mine. The only problem with that is that it will bring my wage ...
Ever Have Those Shifts When Every Report You Jun 15, 2011get is horrible. 80% of my reports this morning have been ESL's who I swear were dictating in their sleep. Slurred speech, impossible to understand. Blanks galore today. The kinda shift that makes you wonder if youeven know what you are doing. Oh well, only a little over an hour left and then I think I will go back to bed for a little bit to reset my brain.....it is fried (not to mention my nerves!). ...

Hours In Shifts Mar 15, 2011Have a question on shifts. Many of the jobs on the boards say 2nd or 3rd shift. In the MT world does that mean 3 to 11 p.m. and 11 to 7 a.m. or is it 4 p.m. to 12 and 12 to 8 a.m.? I have not had a position for a straight shift before, but split my shift at my last job to get in my 8 hours. TIA. :)

Nuance Shifts Feb 26, 2012Hi..I was wondering if there is anyone here who works 3rd shift at Nuance.

What's Up With 7cpl And 2nd And 3rd Shifts?! Jan 03, 2015I have noticed all these companies now are paying about 7cpl or 7.5 cpl and 3/3.5 for VR. I remember 12 years ago when I first started 7cpl was starting pay for right out of school. I eventually went up to almost 9cpl before transition to Nuance. Of course the pay went down after that and now once again. Back then 9-10cpl was seen and with MTs who had been doing it a while. Are these ads I see for 7cpl just for no experience? I see TTS does that. What if you have a lot of experience. I was makin ...

How Do You Unclaim Shifts On Swap Board? May 02, 2010I left a message in post to another post about the Swap (swamp) Board. I had wayyy too many hours showing I had scheduled to work. I normally only work 24 hours week (48 hours pay period or maybe 54 at the most). Mine said 66.50 hours scheduled to work. I don't recall asking to pick up that many hours here and there. My CCM said I needed to go in and reclaim the shifts???? She took off where I had approved my timesheet. But I cannot find ...
Stating Solid Shifts For IC Boldly In The Ad. Seriously? May 25, 2013Saw 2 ads posted here alone this week, perhaps there were more. Is it me or is this blantant disregard for IRS rules for IC. These ads state specific shifts and state for IC. Aren't these chancy moves on the part of the MTSO to actually put it in print publicly? Can't they get in trouble just for that? I am wondering if things have changed in rules for IC by the IRS or if I am losing my mind. Just touching base here for a reality check.

How The Hospital Department Covers Weekend Shifts/hours Jan 24, 2014I am curious if anyone is an at-home transcriptionist who works for a hospital and how the department covers weekend shifts/hours. Also curious what kind of hours you are required to work during the week and how many people are on the transcription team. Or if you'd just share what your company does for scheduling and what the hours are. I am looking for some ideas for our team.
Small hospital. Weekend coverage only includes priority jobs (H&Ps).
Thanks! ...

Wow!! I Was Just Offered 2 Cpl To QA!! Jan 20, 2010Why dont they just start asking us to work for free! At that rate I dont even think you make minimum wage! This is obviously not even because of outsourcing. I think what has happened is that a lot of work has gone overseas, but the remaining work that the transcription companies are getting is still paying a half-ways decent rate but they have taken a small cut to keep them. Then they turn around and pay NOTHING to get it transcribed so the people running the companies a ...

Offered A Job By VMR-Transfer May 18, 2010I am one of the people who received a contract and was offered a job by VMR-Transfer, but when I called and emailed about hrs/lines/days required, my messages were never returned. I know there was a thread about this previously as many other people had the same problem. I'm just wondering if anyone has actually started working for them yet and if this really is a legitimate company.
Thanks
