You may want to call and ask them directly on Monday...
but I believe it depends on the way you were hired. If you are an hourly employee, your PTO would be paid at that rate. If you are production based, your PTO rate is paid at your average production over a period of three months. You must maintain a minimum line count though. Rochelle would know better.
Just because you apply to one of the companies

doesn't mean you will get hired.  KS makes sure that MTs have all the work they want before they hire new MTs.  I only have one account and could work on it 24/7 and still not run out of work.  I know that KS has signed contracts on 2 large accounts to start very soon and are in talks with 3 other accounts, plus there are some new accounts that have needed more MTs than anticipated. 


I can't speak for every account, but I know the work is available and you can get backup accounts if you need them. 


I have 2 companies on my list to apply to if
MQ sinks and Medware is one of them! Thanks for the info!
I just took their test...I also have 2 other companies I'm going to apply
to...thanks for the info!
MQ refugees apply and at all companies.

Before I apply, I have a few questions. I have better results asking here than the companies. sm
I do know to take it all with a grain of salt. Here are my questions:

Do they send work offshore?
IC or employee?
Line rate range for radiology?
Is there a lot of work.

Only one rad account worries me, especially as I heard that they are competing for this account with a large company. I cannot find out who that company is though, only that they are large. The person I know at the hospital that I asked did not have any name except QT, but she said that the other company is very strong and may end up with it.

This is so unsettling. I am totally confused and just wish things would stay the same :) Sigh.
I try to call a few companies every now and then, not looking but
just seeing what is out there and asking what bennies, etc., and I'm giving them my piece of mind when they offer peanuts for 10+ experience. If we all did that now and again, maybe it would have an effect....
Oh, sure. Let me call the utility companies and have

Call insurance companies in your local

yellow pages that advertise health insurance.   Call several to get comparisons. 


Check einsurance.com.


Call and ask a recruiter. I think it is higher than most other national companies. Nm

Give them a call. So many people switching companies all the HR depts must be really busy. nm

Directly
No use taking things up with them directly, nothing ever changes, it is their way or the highway. Furthermore, they will never return your phone calls.

As far as not wanting you to post on message boards, hmmmm wonder why? Do you think maybe they know they do not have a good reputation and that might get out? Be careful, Big Brother is watching, NOT. This is America Folks chat on!!!!!!
Directly to a hospital.

Look at the post directly below yours or look
 at the ads on the job boards. 
You might try contacting QA directly ...

I agree, this makes no sense and my guess is all the HIPPA folderol is just a smokescreen this person is throwing up (for whatever I do not wanna deal with this or stick my neck out for ANY reason) ...


alternatively -- I would recommend saving each and every report you type from this person AND THEN  flagging the report for QA  so you can fill in your own blanks if no one wants to help you.  I type several doctors who  -- without samples -- speak in some impenetrable monotone ... without my file of samples, their reports would be moth-eaten.


good luck - if your company has a chat board or if contacting someone else on that account/WT might be a (much less convenient and/ or discrete) alternative.


Good luck, Yes, people do actually quit jobs over dictators like that ... too bad so many companies seem to blame the MT and some imaginary work ethic problems when the real problem, imho, is lack of support. 


All this turnover of MTs (or any other employee class) is VERY VERY bad for any company's bottom line...  but so many companies seem to blame the MT personally ... it poisonous.


 


I emailed you directly nm

Look at post directly below yours
 
I contacted them directly and they
told me they were NOT hiring..... Makes me sad :(
She said that the OP directly told her
and other coworkers all these things in instant message. 
I've not worked for them directly, but have been...
in contact with the upper management off an on for other matters. Very personable, level-headed, and presumably much SANER than some other company higher-ups that we've all discussed here!
loudspeakers directly overhead? I could
ouch
E-mail me directly, I'm not posting it on here
too often, and I don't want them to figure out who I am before I make my decision. All I can tell you on here is, make sure whatever you agree to with them, you GET IT IN WRITING.
Talk to the CFO directly. Don't stand for this.

No. Then you get the great "work for us directly"

Why not send this to her email directly?
I think you should take this to her via email. Its easy enough to create an alternate ID so you would not be identified if you are trying to be anonymous.
I quite agree with communicating directly
It takes absolutely zero integrity to post grievances on an anonymous chat board. In my view, integrity demands that we take our complaints to those who have the power to do something about them--otherwise you are not handling the complaints productively or with integrity--you are just whining. As they used to say back in the day, don't say behind someone's back what you would not say right to their face. I think the way MDI has been treated on this board is shameful. Many of you owe an apology for your behavior and actions. (And have you considered that what you say can be legally actionable?) If any company works for you, stay; if it does not work for you, leave. There are all kinds of companies for all kinds of people. Keep trying and you are likely to find the right fit. Please consider how you might feel if someone came on a chat board and bashed you anonymously. You know, that old saying about the Golden Rule? In my book, anonymous attacks are about the cheapest sellout there is, integrity-wise. Think about it.
Ask a simple question, everyone goes directly

In my communication directly with Transcend...
I was informed they do not have PT openings, only full-time.

As I believe CynicalMT said, TRUST NO ONE at this juncture.

I believe both companies are simply trying to keep everyone calm until THEY decide to drop the other shoe.

Contact me directly. Addy inside

Not so. Can barely get 9 cents directly from the doctor!
Doctors see all these Indian companies offering 6 cpl, balk at 9 to 10 cpl, and they want it printed, free courier service, ect.

I am full retirement age (FRA) and still working; do I report my earnings to Social Security?

Question
I am full retirement age and still working. Do I have to report my earnings to Social Security?


Answer
When you reach full retirement age you no longer need to report your earnings to Social Security.

You do, however, need to report earnings for those months in the calendar year before the month you reach full retirement age. For example, if you reach it in May, you would need to report your earnings for the four earlier months.

The law also changed the annual earnings limit for workers who reach full retirement age during the year. During those months before you reach full retirement age, your benefits would be reduced $1 for each $3 you earned over the limit which is $37,680 in 2009 and $36,120 in 2008.



Yes, call waiting works. I also have call forwarding from my home line

I think you know what I meant. That is not the problem as I responded directly to her email.

I am sure that any other company that tried to respond to her also had the same problem. I know it is sbcglobal.net but hey, I am not on here to get QA'd.  I in a very quick moment put up a message to an MT who wanted a job and did it very quickly in the middle of my busy schedule trying to be courteous and helpful.


Have a nice evening or was that eneving.  :)


I took out the legal references. If anyone has questions about it, email me directly.

Does any facility hire MT directly as IC or employee for eScription? sm

I do not want to work through a service again.  I am tired of running out of work. If anybody knows of any leads, even if they aren't hiring right now, please e-mail me privately.  All responses will be confidential.  I am looking for something for myself, not to be posted to others.


Thank you in advance.


Don't say no one warned you. They are doing away with part-time MTs. Heard it directly from th

Only if you work directly for their hospitals, not as a Diskriter employee. nm

Has anybody gotten hired from a contact directly from posting your resume .. sm
Just wondering if posting my resume on here is a wise idea and what kind of success other MTs have experienced with posting theirs on these types of sites, versus sending your resume to a company in response to their ad.
Anyone know of MTSOs that have you connect with hospital and type directly into Chartscript?

I removed the posts after speaking directly to the owner of the company. If
you have questions or concerns you need to take it up with her.  There is one specific person causing most of this grief.  I have CHOSEN to remove the posts, I was not forced to. 
Great News!! I was able to cash the check yesterday. I called the branch directly and they said-sm

right now it was good.  I do live in another state but her bank was bought by a bank that is local to me.  I went there as soon as I could get there and they cashed the check for me!!!  She owes me another small check ($84 and change) which I still have not received.  I was beginning to think that I was never going to see this $$ (the last time I was able to cash a check from her was back in January).  I guess if I bug her enough I will get my other funds.  I think she just wants me to go away which I will as soon as I get all the funds owed me.  She also owes me a 1099 but I am not going to stress over that.  I still have my records.  Thanks all for your ideas. 


You can call it greed, I call it feeling like
I am back in the 80s with the money I am pulling in. SS, retirement check and my paycheck, cha-ching. Not planning on taking it with me, never. Love to travel and have 4 places planned for this year. High maintenance lady here. Ta-Ta.

APPLY ...
1) Explain what you need in schedule; I'm sure you'll get it.

2) IF it is brought up, explain. I'm sure you'll be fine with that!


why don't YOU apply with OSI?

Please don't apply because ...sm
you can't even spell why ruin a good thing for the rest of us?   As far as ads being posted well duh - the company is growing with large accounts being added continuously.  Nothing wrong with new business!!! 
I would apply for another job
One that gets good comments AND takes out taxes :-)

BTW, that's what I did and start the first of the year, couldn't be happier!
Don't apply there then, what can I tell you.

Again if that is so, why would you need to apply at DSG?
You come on here knocking them down for not responding to your holey (misspelled on purpose) self.
Why do I need to apply? No, I don't need
for any amount of money.
