I have figured out a way to pay my bills with such **old, wornout** words.


Management is rocking alright, because their paychecks are not affected at all with the NO WORK/LOW WORK situation that has been going on now for MONTHS and MONTHS.  That seems so unfair that their high paychecks keep coming in to mgmt -- when without the MT's, the mgmt would have no paychecks!!!!!

5 years there, pays the bills

Seems to depend on who you talk to.  I have been with Edix/Spheris for 5 years now, no real problems other than a couple of supervisors that weren't very nice, but I went off those accounts and everything is fine.  Our medical insurance has gone from pretty good to flat out crap and I think a lot of people have left because of it, but as far as the company they aren't that bad.  They always pay on time, I have never had trouble taking vacation or time off.  I would recommend them if you have another source for insurance. And let me reassure you, I am just a MT, not in management, not in recruiting.


So DH pays the BIG bills. What if he were no longer
ALL the bills, on your own, with your salary or any typical MT's salary?
TransTech has very few emails and NO IM's
:)
How do you guys make that much?
How many years exp do you have? I have a little less than one and am struggling with money. How long did it take you to start making that much money a year?
Why doesn't Transtech send emails to

Why don't all of us get the SAME emails?


Why send to certain groups of people?


We should ALL be receiving the same emails at all times when sent out to MT's -- not just a certain group of MT's.


the BIG L&H guys (not TransTech folks - but the belgians who started it)

Constant Transtech emails saying they know work is low, but flex . . . .
This is NOT rumor.  Does no good to talk to the company.  They themselves are putting out the NO WORK emails to us.  They are aware of it.  Why talk to them them? 
Make an auto-response for their emails.."I DON'T WORK HERE!" nm

Dont they make you feel like a child with the threatening emails?

Anyone know what TransTech pays?
I saw their ad, but they don't having anything about starting cpl rate.  I have been a MT for 10+ years and don't want to waste my time testing with this company if they don't pay well.  Thanks!
It's called bills, bills, bills.

Have kids, work early mornings and evenings on the weekends and still get to spend time with them.  During the week early mornings, 5 hours while they are in school, then again after they are in bed.  You do what you have to in this economy - and really at all times.  Never did work 9-5 on M-F. 


This is healthcare. Most of us work with hospital accounts and the hospitals are open 24/7.  Shifts at the hospital are 7-3:30, 3 - 11:30, 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.  Don't see very many 9-5 M-F shifts there, do ya? 


As a former "QA Nazi" undeserved or not, you guys make our lives miserable, too.
Especially ESL MTs who used to be doctors in India who think they know it all and like to threaten lawsuits. Yah, that's the ticket.
It's TransHealth that pays that way, NOT TransTech.

Anyone know if Transtech pays for spaces?
Thanks in advance!
TransTech pays every two weeks.

Transtech pays as much as Transcend
.
TransTech pays 4 and 4.5 for VR... She said she just left

a place that paid that....   Could it be one in the same?  


Probably would be better for her to just straight type.  That is what I have to do also.  HATE VR....


That is good $$ but Transtech pays a lot

TransTech Pays for Internet does Transcend?
I just read that they reimburse for internet, does Transcend do this too?
Does anyone know what Transtech pays for its Escription accounts?
I'd be willing to work weekends if the price was right.  I've just seen too many Escription accounts pay too low, which to me, is 3 cpl and lower..One company actually offered 1.5 cpl. No thanks.
TransTech pays flat fee for training (NM)

Transtech pays for all the headings in the report template, such as those in your example, and they
all the demographic stuff that is inserted into the header and/or footer of your report. A heading and not the same thing as a header. The only thing on a report that you are not paid for is the hard-coded header and/or footer at the top and bottom of the document that has the facility name and the spot for the patient information to be inserted.
Webmedx pays 70% of your line rate. I make more on VR s/m
with them them straight typing, a lot more.
Of course TransTech pays for spaces and they have a easy to get bonus structure.
I make as much as I did at the hospital, because of the bonus structure, retroactive to line 1. They pay for spaces and expanders, and they have ops normals too. Just wanted to put an FYI so people think TT does not pay for spaces, of course they do. You can make a lot per line with the structure and also differential and bonuses almost every weekend at TT.
TransTech pays early too, Payday is Monday but I get my direct deposit
late Friday night or Saturday.
I still make more with Transtech than anywhere else
they leave me alone to do my job. I don't have to read a bunch of unnecessary and irrelevant emails and I am not monitored by phone or IM. I don't have to clock in and out at all much less every time I have to burp. I love Transech and make good money here.
I make 350-400 lph at TransTech
I can't get $20 if I'm on disability so I'm staying put.
Believe me, one can make decent money at TransTech.
There is plenty of work and I don't think the incentive plan is low at all. A good MLS should have no problem hitting the first tier and the QA incentive should be automatic. The starting line rate is also one of the best I had run across. I'm not trying to convince anyone to come to TT, its not a good fit for everyone, just wanted to share my experience. If one is getting a negative vibe about a company, I don't blame them for not wanting to give them a try.
Make it easy on yourself and move to TransTech

Transtech VR -- Can't make the same money IF you are accustomed to using a

lot of expanders/briefs, because you will be constantly deleting and retyping in stuff, rather than getting to expand a word/words.  Definitely not the same money.  Why do you think all these companies are going to VR?  To put more money in the MT's pockets?  NOT


Hell will freeze over before YOU can make your job *work* with TransTech. Out of your control !!!

I don't know who has ruined this wonderful company, but E is one of them !!!  Of course, D is in control of everything, so just amazed at the condition of TT now.


"you bet it does"
For one thing honey, I am quite sure I have been an MT longer than most of the MTs on here, over 30 years? I have been around the block and know how these national companies work. And who said my job didn't work out? You don't know anything about me. I never mentioned my job. I have never and never will kiss butt in any position for any amount of money. Where is "holier than thou" attitude? I don't think any of the MTs that are posting have that attitude. They are simply tired of working and working and not being appreciated. You MUST BE one of those butt kissers that you refer to because if you look around at the posters, most of them are in agreement. The ones that are not in agreement are either butt kissers or QA because there are very few positive posts on here. And no one likes "butt kissers" either unless you are one of them, which I suspect you are. If you have to be a "butt kisser" to get to the top or get promoted, something is wrong. A person should get a job based on their qualifications not because they are "a yes" person and that seems to be the case at OSI.
It should be "you are" obviously not, not "you obviously not"

Frustrating situation at TransTech makes me make typos here on this board . . .

I have figured out a way to pay my bills with such **old, wornout** words

Get real, get a life.
that should be "you're"

Still there - It's the 8th rock from the sun (LOL)

You rock!

how 'bout "you're a fun one"
no message.
The statement "you get paid

when we get paid was a big STOP sign for me. All I know.


 


And "your" and "you're!"

I beg to differ on "you people" There
may be only 1 or 2 complainers, maybe a few more, but most everyone is happy there, so don't put all of us in that group.
I am new and do not want to rock the boat but I am going to sm
point my lead to this board and let them know. I had a few inconsistencies when Penny talked to me and let them go because I knew about the company. But this is different. I should have said something and didn't but nw I wonder if I should have. What would you do?
They are out of Rock Hill, SC....
No website that I know of.  I think they are a small MTSO.
EvolveMed? HDS out of Little Rock?
Anyone ever heard of these companies? Good/bad? I can't seem to find anything on them. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.
oops. Lots of typos. How about "you just cant WIN" maybe I need a nap@@@

My (different) company gave us that "you'll
2 years later, I'm less productive, not more, on that godawful, 'new-and-improved' platform.
Under what rock or in what swamp do they find these
The lack of upbringing, tact, or even basic common sense or civility among most of them is incredible. Even more incredible is that they've got SOMEone buffaloed into believing they're worth the big money they're getting paid.

Bah!
AllType didn't rock for me

Yes, I contacted the recruiter right away.  However, I was told that I misunderstood the interview.  But, how could I misunderstand information that was never provided?  


I'm glad that your emails are answered.  Mine went 5 days without an answer.  I don't know why yours are answered while mine were not.  Maybe it is because you already work there?  Or, maybe you are now communicating with someone other than the recruiter?


The first excuse for the delay in response was that the company was having email issues.  The next excuse was that managers had been in a meeting that lasted 5 days.  This was all after having been given 24 hours to return the tests; that's 24 hours after the recruiter sent the email, not 24 hours after I received it.  Too bad if I wasn't online 24/7.  My conclusion:  It appeared that I would be expected to jump when they said jump, but they would respond at their convenience.


My main gripe through it all was that at every turn there was a new rule to follow or a hoop to jump through.  For instance, after accepting the employee position, I received an IC contract.  It had not been revealed to me initially that I would be an IC for 30 days, but this IC contract contained the stipulation that I would be confined to a set schedule from day one, and the schedule could not be changed for 6 months.  The IC contract specifically read that it was a 1-year contract, not 30 days as the recruiter subsequently claimed was the rule.  Plus, I was required to obtain an EIN from the IRS--none of these are usually required for employees.  BTW, it is easy to obtain an EIN and I, in fact, already have one.  But, my complaint is that they required it.  As an employee, an SSN should be sufficient.  So something didn't add up right.  Also, I'm picky when it comes to written contracts versus spoken words.  I always lean towards accepting the written contract as the whole truth.


Also, on the first round, I was told to be sure to let them know if I had any vacations scheduled soon.  On the second round, I was told to be sure to inform them of any doctor appointments and any other appointments scheduled for the next 90 days.  After being offered the job and providing references, I was then asked to fill out an application.  It seemed like it was never going to end. 


Because we always get treated the best during the recruitment process, I really was scared about what was ahead, and just how far AllType would go with regard to control and manipulation.  Therefore, I withdrew my acceptance of the position.


 


Might as well rock the sinking ship.
