based on what Indian QA says is proper sentence structure, use of English language, punctuation etc..I have no issues with expecting high quality but I think I had a difference in opinion on these factors. There is a language barrier as your supervisors IM you from India and just dont get things like NO.. I am not working right now and do not plan on it until my scheduled shift. I know another person said the recruiter actually told her that their middle of the road Transcriptionist make about $4000 a month average. What kind of scam and lie is that. Just goes to show they will tell you anything to get you to work for them. You'd be sorry.

Anyone waiting for UPS to deliver their pay check?!
My check from FutureNet was sent UPS overnight delivery on Thursday and it still hasn't arrived!!! Nothing like not getting paid at Christmas time!
You dont remember okay credit check but you

Why do AAMT have hand on MY check? Dont work

Your fine as long as your employee, but if your IC, dont hold your breath waiting for a check.
Only employees get direct deposit. If you opt to be an IC, the checks may or may not get out and you may or not get them on a certain day.
They promise more than they deliver. sm
They seem nice enough but not once you are there. Checks were on hold last year for a few weeks, but that was isolated (as far as I know). I left right after that as I went to another Illinois company (also a Lee but not LeePerfect) and have been happy.
Nothing bad to say but nothing good either. I did not have enough work. Emdat is OK once you are used to it, same as other programs.
Mailed on 9/30. Mail doesn't deliver everywhere at
the same time, silly! Takes a little longer to get some places than others.
Just another typical gripe for no reason.
yeah but you don't jump down her throat to deliver
that truth. I dare you to say half the things face-to-face you say here. We behave civilized in public for a reason. We socialize, practice common courtesy, all of those things for a reason.
I know it is really easy to be a caveman over the internet but try to be nice...
I charge .12cpl, I pickup and deliver. Wisconsin. nm

Yeah, they'll promise you the world, but don't deliver.

If you like getting docked pay for lousy dictators, go for it. nm

You aren't docked for blanks unless maybe
How does Axolotl define a line? Do they pay for spaces, headers, footers, & expansions? Are you docked for blanks or sending things to QA? If so, how much. you keep leaving the same blank after receiving corrections. They would rather you leave a blank than to guess. Line is 65 characters, pay for spacers. There are acute care and clinic accounts and I don't know if they pay differently for them as far as headers/footers. I have no footers, only have to fill in date in headers so not sure how they pay. I don't know why wouldn't get paid for expansions, I get paid for normals and I have some normals as expansions so I guess they do pay for them.
That is crazy!! I do QA too - how unfair to be docked points!

Would you work for a company that docked for errors?
If you make an error in a report, you don't get paid for the whole report.
Would you work for this company?
Only if it also docked doctors for dictation errors
HA HA
Paid direct by Transcend, never been docked.
Only time I had to complain was the one (and ONLY one) time they neglected to add on my carried-over TRS production incentive bonus. I pointed it out to my supervisor, she told me to contact payroll, and it was corrected (and the difference made up) on my next check.
Not actually a check; I have direct deposit, and it's always been right on time, on the day advertised. (They gave us a payday schedule, and it's always been spot-on.)
Again, I've never been docked for anything, and never even been told what things a person might be docked for. Too many things sent to QA? Hardly. We (at least, we TRS transplants) are supposed to NEVER guess, and if we put 100 QA marks in a report, so be it.
Of course, I suppose if we were making constant critical errors, we might need to be talked to... but that hasn't happened to me, so I can't speak to what might happen in that case.
Old posts also say your pay is docked if client is unhappy with your work. No thanks. nm

Like I said, this was when I interviewed in 2005. REpeated errors got your pay docked, not

I was offered a job months back, but the contract said they docked for errors.
Not my cup of tea! I never was docked pay for making a med error as a nurse. I would not have accepted that kind of treatment. I'm human, for crying in the corn, not a machine.
I dont cherry pick, never did. I dont do that to my coworkers on my account.
What is the new status. I dont understand what it means. I dont need their benefits nor do I want
them.
I dont know what that means. I am an SE. I dont sit and wait for work I come back in when it is
there so I never had to deal with Amherst when there was no work because I just stopped working and did other things. My feeling is if this doesnt work there are other jobs out there.
I just dont want to hit that extra space if I dont get paid for it, ya know. No message.

If I cant make QA, dont give me work. Dont dock

Ditto that ditto..ESLs drove me out too...nm

Ditto, ditto, ditto. My experience exactly.
I have never typed so fast and made so little in my life except for at Amphion. Good for supplemental income but not if you really need some money.
I didnt get the packet, do we have to take their insurance if we dont need it. I dont want it. Wish
I would have gotten the stupid thing to read.
Well, I know that MTs from my office have quite MQ and they dont post on here but I dont know how
many. I think MTs with MQ may be getting second jobs and just working for 2 different places at the same time which is probably the smart thing to do anymore because MQ will continue with this short TAT and as it spreads throughout other offices people will continually be running out of work especially after going on DQS.
You obviously have the wrong company. If they dont IM you, then you dont have it on..
I smell management. Nothing you said makes sense unless there is another Focus out there.
Sorry if I dont like gutter humor. Also dont like

Dont kid yourself that people dont know what is going on. Do you honestly think these office people
dont talk. Maybe you should make sure you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.
Does background check include credit check?
"You can check my credit if I can check yours"

This is Ms B. - Talk all you want, I
You drove me to drink. A six pack just won't get it anymore. I am on the hard liquor. Just kidding. Get back to work.
You would have to talk to them about that.
Sorry. I believe that is confidential information as far as pay but as far as their requirements, it is my firm belief that 5 years is needed to be a good QA person.
I can tell you this because I still talk with MTs that
work for them currently, my name is still on the mail list, and I have not been there in over 2 months. I'm not doubting that they have hired people, but keep in mind that they have brought down the 3-5 year minimum experience, now down to 2 year minimum expeience. So that accounts for A LOT of the new hires.
lp talk
I think they pay very well. Correct about turnover on QA managers. Pay is 1st and 15th, but once in awhile, they change it to 7th and 22nd, and you wait an extra week to get paid, which is quite horrible. Is your new job Emdat? Did you find the job through here?
Like to Talk More to You
Hello,
You have an interesting name, something like HappyWithoutPS? Anyway, I see you know a lot about Precyse, the true straight skinny, eh? That's what I wanted to know about.
Do you mind telling me what company you are now working for? Do you like it? I am looking for a good one. Thanks.
Linda D.
No talk?
They also cannot control your rights to freedom of speech, as long as you are not spreading lies.
So, let's think of something else to talk about
nm
thanks for pep talk
I appreciate it. I was feeling like I just shot myself in the foot. I will check them out. From what you say, they sound okay. Is this one people refer to as MDI? I saw there is also MD-IT. Which is which?
before you talk yourself out of it,
you'd be wise to consider the future of MQ in this country. I left there after a long time and long time being their cheerleader. All the red flags of concern are in place.
You might be able to talk...
MDI-MD into that one. They seriously need weekend coverage.
Talk to your STM about it - she or he can sm
set your choices as ASR vs non ASR if you want to opt out. They don't just let you know, you would have to ask. Also what I was correcting what that you said ASR pay would drop to 35%; your pay remains at 70% of non ASR rate. Did you know other companies pay a flat rate of as little as 2-3 cpl for editing?
As for what is not on ASR - it's not always the crappy guys who are left but the people whose formats can't be mimicked by the ASR engine. (Guys who say - Oh go back up and do THIS, etc)
Talk to HR
You need to talk to HR, because I do believe the other poster is incorrect when she says that most companies pay in full for one employee. Rarely does anyone do that any more. When a company advertises paid insurance, they are probably meaning that a portion of it is paid and not the entire premium.
Some employers pay more of the premium than others do - it depends on how generous your employer is.
Believe me they DO talk
They will find out. Whether its okay is up to your company and whether you signed a no-compete agreement. My company found out and tried to make life miserable for me and continues to do so. I won't quit
no I don't talk to anyone like that sm
except comments like this. I have heard enough complaining about this profession in 35 years. Its very obvious to me this person has not been paying attention to what has been going on. If she had had experience working for a national she would KNOW that this has been going on and will continue to go on until people stop it. I do not see how anyone who says they have been doing this for as many years as she has can not know this is happening. Its happening and people need to get their head out of the sand!
nobody else would talk the way sm
his/her messages appear on this board. Easy to figure it out.
AND WHO ARE YOU TO TALK DOWN - sm
to MTs in such a rude and demeaning manor? Whether or not you're mgmt, I don't give a rodent's behind ... they are entitled to their opinion just as much as you are. If something is affecting their ability to make a decent living, they also have a right to speak up without your high and mighty attitude. You're happy at TT? Well, bully bully for you!! But your rude tone and the way you talk down to your fellow MTs ( if that really is the case) makes one think that you are also a very UNHAPPY person. 
Transcend talk
I read some posts below about Transcend that were disturbing to me. I work at Transcend and I love it very much. Being an employee at Transcend, I have access to the forum for all employees there. I have not found one thread on there that supports for one second what the unhappy ex-Transcender was saying.
My question is this, however, what if high producers are treated differently than others? They are kind of like the employee who is always at work, on time, positive attitude versus the employee who calls off, is undependable, bad attitude. Which one do you think would get better treatment? That is pretty much a no brainer if you ask me! There are also those MTs who are great employees and do the basic line count required of them. They receive the basic pay that they were offered. What is so wrong with that? That is the effort they put into it.
I will say exactly what I do there. I scored 100% on all my tests for hire with Transcend. I have 9 years' experience in clinic transcription. I was hired in full time, benefits, etc. I work on a clinic account and have a secondary that is hospital. No, I did not have hospital experience when starting at Transcend. Being the great company that they are, they were willing to train me and enhance my experience for both our benefits. I make 0.0850 cents per line. The incentive plan is so great that I try to produce more than 11,000 lines per pay period so that I can benefit from it. I have asked for days off and have always gotten them without hassle. I have a schedule, however, do not always work my hours but different ones according to what is going on in my life. I dont ask if that is okay, I just do it. If I cannot work in the morning, I do it at night. No one has ever said anything to me about it because I do my lines.
I work also on VR. Everyone will be. Let's face it ladies, it is the future. You can hate it, fight it, but in the end you either do it or get a new career. Every MT in the future will at least have to know how to do it. I plan to learn all I can and become better and faster at it so that I am assured a job.
There will always be some people who are bitter when they leave jobs. Some people seem to have a sense of entitlement. However, it all goes back to the good old days where you get what you give. The more lines you type and the harder you work, the more money you make. There is nothing wrong with an honest day's work.
Talk to your manager about it first of all. Then...
...if that doesn't work, most companies, depending on how much they are hiring, can find you a spot if they want you bad enough.
Sometimes recruiters are really restricted on what they can hire for, but if there are a lot of openings to fill I can hire a M-F person if it's a deal breaker and I absolutely don't want to lose them.
However, it doesn't happen often, the person typically has to have a spotless track record and reputation in the field, and they possibly will have to fit into a potentially difficult-to-fill niche (oncology or very high ESL, for example), but it's not unheard of.
Good luck!
