Couldn't find it.

Could you e-mail me privately and let me know what company this is in California?  Thanks! 


I couldn't find anything either, but...
I like her communication style and it seems there will be plenty of work. She seems to be straightforward to me, so I'm going to give her a shot.

I've had similar offers where I couldn't find anything about the MTSO, good or bad, but for whatever reason got a negative vibe and declined the offer. I'm not getting this feeling with TMI, so I've accepted her offer.

Time will tell, but I'm optimistic at this point.
couldn't find anything in archives, but
I googled them and you can find links about them there.
I looked thru 2 pages and couldn't find anything.

I thought it was deleted as can happen here!

I used to have a QA guy that couldn't transcribe, couldn't fill in a blank,

but was anal retentive when it came to punctuation.  You would have a report with 10 blanks in it because of poor sound quality, and he wouldn't fill in one blank, but he had put commas all throughout your report, or taken apostrophes out, etc. and he wasn't correct in his punctuation a lot of the time.   Several of the MTs complained about him and asked to not have him do their QA, so he was demoted from QA to an MT.  Well, as I said earlier, he couldn't fill in a blank.  I saw a couple of his reports and there was blank after blank in reports that I had no trouble with at all.  He also didn't proof his reports because he would have inapproriate/incorrect expansions in them.  Not sure if he left on his own, or didn't really have a choice.  Anyway, talk to your supervisor.  Maybe this person is just on a power trip, knows you are new and wants to train you to do it her way, even if your way isn't incorrect.  I think punctuation is a valid issue, but if it doesn't change the integrity of the report and there are no other errors it shouldn't be flagged by QA.    You could also take into account her corrections and maybe try to use a few more commas, etc. and that might help.  


Oh, I couldn't understand them. I didn't try them all, but the first couple, I couldn't und

Very little PTO and it is to be used for everything, including

sick days, vacation days, holidays -- really stinks !


I get 8.5 cpl including spaces, but
They pay 0.05 for weekends and another 0.05 for over 16,000 lines per pay period. If you keep your 11,000 lines per pay period you get almost 4 hours of PTO per pay period, which is about 10 days a year. No holiday pay, but usually offer a bonus if you work one. $40.00 internet reimbursement a month. The insurance costs me just under 100.00 a pay period for myself only, no family, but I think that depends on where you live.

Can't think of anything else, but they are good to work for...kind and honest.


I get 8.5 cpl including spaces, plus
for over 16,000 per pay period, which is relatively easy to get. I've got a great account though. I know some places may pay more, but we get what we are promised, on time, plus PTO and insurance if you need it, not free of course, but pretty resonable. An IC can make more per line, but end up losing becuase of the additional SS taxes and absolutely no benefits. I love TT and thank God every day for my job.
No it is everything including interventional
mammos, CTs, MRIs, PETs, etc. The docs are very good and the system is very easy -IDX. Guess I should just stay where I'm at.
9 cpl including spaces
..
I don't believe you get benefits including PTO unless
you maintain 5500 transcribed lines per week or 11,000 edited lines per week, or an average of the two. At least that is what my paperwork says.
But if they are saying per character are they including spaces?
I'd ask if a space = a character.  ;)
Do you happen to know if it would be any different including a spouse?

No one here, including the OP whined about working..sm
a weekend! You assume way too much! Of course there are times we are going to all have to work weekends. The point of this whole conversation (since you obviously missed it) is how crappy it is for MTSOs to offer only one of two schedules...give up every Saturday for the rest of your life or a Sunday. Some people do like to go away for the weekend, to their child's Saturday soccer game, or to church! Rotational weekends are awesome and I do them myself! I won't however give up every single Sat. or Sun. until I leave this company. It's not happening!
Many of the ones in the "management" positions, including
ROMs, team leads, and the rest, have never been in management and do not know how to handle having power. It goes to their heads, so they are on an ego trip, they love to manipulate and care less about who they hurt on their way up. They only care about their bonuses and big pay checks. They take care of their friends and everyone else be damned.

Is 8 cpl/65 char including spaces good pay for Radiology?
TIA
About 5 years ago was offered 10 cpl including spaces, 65 characters. sm
Don't know about now. That was doing all acute care, mainly op reports with full benefit package.

I declined and have my own accounts, but it was a good offer.

Good luck.
Hmmm.must have missed that. I saw it on ALL accounts but for QA including the platforms that run out
of work constantly.
completing thought.....including on the Job Edit screen. nm

Close to 9 cents not including multiple incentives
.
I do work all hours, including my days off, and 3rd shift

to try to make up hours, but I'm short most weeks.   There are lots of accounts with low work, yet they keep hiring more.


I don't need the benefits, but I was told that if there is no work it will not affect benefits.   I am new too and not eligible for benefits until next month anyway, so I can't say if that is true or not. 


 


TO PEOPLE WHO E MAILED ME FOR MY COMPANY (INCLUDING THE SOLICITOR)

I am sorry I can not state my company.  They are very small, only about 150 MTs, and they are not hiring right now.  I did see them post twice when I was looking, though.  Watch for the small U.S. Only job posts here on MT Stars.


To the solicitor from Infraware Platforms, I am in the MT business, not the IT business.  I very nearly did give out the name of my company, and now I am glad I did not!


This issue IS... Do you want your QA that determines your errors, including punctuation, Indians.???
I have no problem maintaining quality and agree that 98% and above is acceptable and definitely quality what we all strive for, I just am offended that someone I cannot even understand and they cannot understand me, being the ones doing the quality checks on my work. That is my issue with it. You have not been there long enough. I was there a few months before they started bothering me. The problem was that I would tell them No, I cannot do the stat right now as I am logging off and they would still keep asking me. What part of NO in the English language is that hard to understand. Good luck with that.
Yes, that's including headings. I use Open Office which gives me a char count.
What it doesn't include is anything in the ADT screen, just what we type in the report.

Seeking company that offers good benefits including insurance.
Ideally, I'd like to find a company that offers medical insurance at a reasonable cost for family (under $500 a month) and a decent line count rate. Anyone have any ideas on this. Thanks.
