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 ...
What fools. The Evil Q have built their Empire upon a foundation of sand. This last step, "First Time Right" (oh, and what a hoot that is!), is the final straw, the final flaw in this bombastic, sadistic machinery that is staggering towards the edge of the cliff. The bankruptcy of Spheris should have been their warning. But now, they are too foolish and drunk with power to see that they are heading right towards the cliff. Punishing those who are making little but s ...

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 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 ...

Hi!
I am transcribing a note where the doctor indicated the patient had verrucous lesions on her finger and said, "because of this, I am treating her with ___________." When he pronounces the word, it sounds just like Dioflan. However, I cannot find a wart treatment that sounds anything like that. Do you guys have any idea what it could be? I appreciate your help! ...
