Global Transcription IS a nice small service, has a good rep. Superior Global has Indian conn-

Global Transcription Services is not Superior Global.

Not me. I hope there is a special place reserved for them in a very hot place.

George says what he means or is it he means what he
but he sure does apologize in a way I've never heard a person whose company is valued at $8m a year apologize before and I've worked for companies who played who is the president of the week game! All I can say is that his personal interview about his high school reunion has a distinctly different style than his late January postings in which he degrenates the poster he tries to engage. Just remember George's quote we are misinformed.

I worked for them for a little while several years back. They might have disorganization issues, but they are a local Texas company and to my knowledge do not outsource. The people who own it are super nice, honest people.
Global
This is not the Global that you are talking about - this is a very small company in my area. They hire locally. I appreciated getting the experience, I dislike this man coming to me when he needs help on an in-house position, when he has work that could be done at home.
Global
I always ran out of work and pay was low .... and now everything is VR or going to be VR but nice people. 
Which Global? sm
Global InfoSystems or the other Global?  If it is Global InfoSystems, they hardly have work, they are liars, and they will lie in your face every chance they get.  So you may want to consider that if that is the one you are referring to.
What it means to me?
As an employee of Heartland, what my understanding is of what that means to me....I am still an employee, and more than likely the purchasing company will need me just like Heartland needs me now. Waiting for the conference calls to hear more information.
It means
That SoftScript screws everyone who has a brain between their ears.  The "newbies", and no offense intended, run the company because that is all they have because anyone with any experience has LEFT and rightly so.  They take your lines, make you think you are insane, have you work 24-7 to get a decent pay, and god bless if it is on time, which it actually has been x2 since they have been bashed on this board.  THAT IS WHAT ALL THIS MEANS.  The management is the worst, QA the worst, and lies beyond belief.  That is what all this means.  DUH.
It means they need it right now!
What stat. means to you as a Transcriptionist is that the turnaround needs to be fast! It would be identified in your accounts specs or your contract or whatever what the turnaround is.  Maybe it is an hour, maybe 2 hours, maybe 4 hours after it is dictated.  Whatever it is, it means that they need it back quickly. It has priority over anything else.
what does this means?

Im a newbie MT and trying to find a job.  I would like to ask what does this means as for compensation?  Is this good? 


Compensation Information: Subcontract, 9 cents for 65 keystrokes


what does this MEANS....
xx
Yes, I think that is what it means. Not sure why they don't just say so LOL.
x
It means there is no more. nm

So that means
You can thank the politicians in DC (both parties) for passing NAFTA and giving us the SHAFTA...
What do you think this means?
I'm wondering what this new COO means for us down here typing away in the trenches.  Does anybody know anything about him? 
for now usually means

until we get all our people making half what you do trained, then  . .  . .


 


SE means
statutory employee. Like an IC (independent contractor) you pay your own taxes, set your own schedule, etc, but as an SE, the employer pays part of the SS taxes. No benefits come with either IC or SE positions, other than freedom.
Thank you all, that means a lot to me
:)
exactly, which means
if you are going to claim yourself 100%, you need to present it also. Talk is so cheap.
OT for some means OOW for others

I normally work 3-11 pm.  I come on and look at my email.  The boss approved OT early this AM because we were out of TAT; by the time I punch in we're within an hour of dictation, BUT SHE LEAVES APPROVED OT UP THERE, and by 8 pm I'm OOW because all the day people got the OT (and are still on there wanting more) and I'm lucky if I get my 8 hours working secondaries putting in a 10 hour day.


How so? If they are IC, and know what that means,
x
OK, that means no. I'm sure if the SM

money was in your account right now, you'd be posting it all over the boards about how you were right.


My pay was in the bank on the day it was supposed to be-I wish yours had been also.


I'm not sure exactly what this all means
but I'll see what happens if i still decide to send my resume. Thanks for the information.
By all means, when you having nothing
proclaim yourself in charge of mtstars QA, fondle that typing police baton for a moment or two, then launch into full-blown attack mode and WHUP UP. FOP.
I would like to know what it means
NM
Know what IM means, but what do they
nm
I don't think that is what she means
I think (and I could be wrong) her hospital was bought by CHS and she was an in-house employee. She and her co-workers have to be trained as if they were new hires to Spheris.  They will go through a 90-day probation period as would any other new-hires.  The Spheris Specials Team will be covering her hospital's acounts while she and her co-workers are being trained.  Somewhere on here it was discussed that CHS or whatever their name is was out-sourcing their work to Spheris and it involved the hospital employees being transitioned at their current pay scale but then it could go down to the Spheris pay scale.  She's not training anyone with samples, etc.
So, not sure - EMR means??
Electronic medical records and does this mean they are entering template dictation or their own typing dictation, what?  Does that work, time-wise for them as they chug out 6-8 patients an hour.. 
What it means
is probably FELLOW. They probably saw it on some physician's certificate or some place in academia. The difference is that in medical school or academia, the title of FELLOW is earned, not conferred upon oneself's like the nonsense spewed by AHDI. And, like you, I think it stands for something unprintable. At least to my own mind, that is about all it is worth.
Superior Global
You know - I left there 2 weeks ago.  I know from a past experience - this company holds checks.  You are one of the lucky ones who if you get your check on-time if they do not bounce.  Does anyone know if contractors have any rights?  Are they allowed to hold money even if the equipment has been returned? 
Superior Global
I have been very happy with this company. The checks arrive on time and they leave me alone and let me do what I do best.
Superior Global

Just wondering if anyone knows anything good or bad about Superior Global - thanks


Superior Global

This company is a waste.  First of all - they bounce checks to most of their employees.  They say they do not outsource - but they do.  The owners run and hide at payroll time -- constantly have their phones shut off, and the insurance is constantly canceled as they do not pay the premiums.  Not to mention, they still owe the overseas group greater than 20,000. 


 


AccuTran Global
Does anyone know anything about this company???
Superior Global
I just heard the same story today. They don't pay!

I have never been in a situation where I broke my back typing for 15 days and had to beg for my money. I couldn't think of anything worse, except of course illness.
Superior Global
I completely agree, worked for them. Pay was not on time, typical excuses. I left there in a hurry. There are other jobs where they do pay on time believe me please.
Superior Global
Somebody asked about Superior Global a few weeks ago............the same things were said about not paying on time. This is not just a rumor. This is true...........Please listen or you will be out on the street waiting to get paid by this company............Unless they have changed.
Superior Global
I know that the small company that I was previously employed with lost all of their HCA accounts to Superior Global and most everyone that had worked with me went to work for them. I chose not to, as I was tired of radiology work. From what I hear, these people are happy. They are working on accounts that they have worked on in the past and have plenty of work. I don't know for a fact that they outsource, I just know that my friends are not hurting for work and like the change to Superior from the company we had worked for previously. They also had no compete contracts, but have not been legally pursued by the other company - probably because they lost all their accounts and can't afford to sue anyone now.
Global Transcription
So I'm confused - was the guy from Global or do you like Global?
re: superior global
I received an email from this company in response to an email that I'd sent a long time ago. I did some research on a few different sites and found lots of negatives in regards to pay.

I emailed them back and stated that I was not seeking a position. I later thought about it and decided that I wanted to get the info directly from the source. I emailed the individual and stated that I had read that there were problems with MTs being paid in a timely matter and asked if this was true. I never received a response.

I don't want to work for any company who cannot pay me on time.
Superior Global
I heard they don't pay either!
There is nothing AAMT can do - we are in a global
economy, and the cents per line margin is just so tiny - it really always has been. I remember in the - old days - max anyone was making realistically was 14 to 15 cpl. Its not like it used to be 50 cents a line even. There just is no margin for all this bartering. The entrepreneurs and MTSOs dreamed up the offshoring, and that was that! There is just no sense blaming AAMT - its so much bigger than AAMT. I know how you feel - wasted about the last 5 years being bitter about it. Again, don't join AAMT or whatever their name is, but many of us want to be members. I want to be at the top of my game in this career so that I will not be offshored. There will always be room for the top brains in this industry - whether American, or Indian, or Irish. I have seen offshored transcription, and it is not the joke that most of you would like to think. That's what actually changed my opinion of  -- the foreigners -- most of their work is absolutely meticulous and beautiful. I swear, being in QA I can actually get vibes from a report regarding the attitude of the MT. You can just see whether they are top-notch and professional, or sloppy and bitter. There IS a shortage of new talent in my company from the USA - its shocking! I give the offshorers whose work I QA kudos. And believe me, there was no one as angry and disgusted about it than I was. But I tried to be global minded, and it has paid off for me regarding my attitude and my sanity. Its NOT going to go away, and yes, I do embrace it. At this point, I don't care what ethnicity transcribes it, as long as its good quality. And, to date, I have had lots of Indian work in particular pass thru my hands, and I have not experienced the horror that others claim to see. Rather, the horror stuff is churned out by the US MTs, in my particular situation.
pay at Superior Global
Any idea what Superior Global pays for experienced hospital transcriptionists??
Superior Global
Pay is low and sometimes late. Not very well organized and many accounts are on Meditech that doesn't allow you to work in Word, then cut and paste into Meditech.
Superior Global sm

I don't think I'm going to go with this company.  I found out they don't have direct deposit.   I don't like late paychecks and I don't like my check mailed to me.  About 10 years ago, I worked as an IC and had my check mailed to me.  One time it was mailed to another company instead of to me.  It was cashed.  Luckily, the company returned the money to me.  I don't think I want to do that again.


 


Thanks for the input.


Superior Global
The VPN there is very slow. You cannot make any money. You have to jump through a ton of different windows before you even begin to type. I did work for them one day and quit -- they never paid me for what I did either.
Superior Global
I previously worked for them and they were great people. Pay was always on time (direct deposit)
SBC Global is just the addy
It doesn't actually state the job is with SBC Global. I have the same @sbcglobal.net email address.
