If they do not have the integrity to stand up and say they have

enough staff, then I have lost all respect I had for any of them. Most of them have no ability anyway, so when they lose those jobs, they will be on the welfare lines.

I am currently employed with Integrity.  This is a great company to work for.  I have been employed with Integrity for over a year now and I love the work.  There is plenty to go around for everyone.  The Emdat program is not that bad to work with.  I find it slow at times but it is usable.  I have worked with better programs, but it is tolerable.  Pay is by direct deposit on the 1st and 15th of each month and my pay has always been deposited on time.  Hope this helps.  If you have any other questions feel free to ask.  You can email me.  TY.
Integrity LLC
I just wanted to help try and answer any questions that anyone may have on Integrity LLC.  I have worked for them since they started and have not worked for a better company.  They do work with EMDAT and know some people don't care for it but I have found that it is alot more user friendly than some I have used.  There is plenty of work to go around and looking for great MT's that will as loyal to the company as the company is to their MT's.  I can not say enough good things about them.  Pay is the 15th and the 30th and always on time.  Getting new and bigger accounts all the time.  I have worked for some of the larger companies and I have found that this is more like a family than just being a number.  If you have any questions at all please feel free to email me and I will try and answer any questions you have.  This is the cream of crop MT's and couldn't ask for anything better.

I was offered to take this test from them.  God, tell you if that is a sample of what their files sound like, do not want any part of them!  I could not find anything on them here or in archives, either!  The test is about 10 minutes long, too long for me to spend on that one anyway!

Nicole is a great boss. Pay is always on time, however, you have to wait about a month for your first pay. Pay is kind of low... highest account is 8 cpl, rest are 7 or 7.5. Emdat platform.

Anybody work for Integrity? Good? Bad?


Thanks

She is great to work for, not so great on the pay 7 cpl to a tops of 8 depending on account.  Have to wait a month for your first pay.  Emdat platform.

If you are referring to the Integrity Service out of Florida, you need to speak to the owner.  There is always plenty of work on one of the many accounts.  I work part time for her and have done so for the past two years.  I have had no problem with work or getting paid.  Sorry that you are having a difficult time.  Hope this helps.

I am a former mentor of Allstate. *** (Owner) owes me almost $1000 (this is for 2-1/2 months work) When I gave my notice, my accounts were locked immediately and I was unable to get my line counts to send invoices. In fact, I couldn't even edit my interns documents. When decided not to give a 2 week notice since I was told I would be put on probation if I stayed and I could not afford to work for free any longer, I was told that I forfeited all of my earnings because I signed an IC contract.  Since April, I have made a total of 78.00 working there.


 


If you are an experienced MT, stay far away and go to a hospital which is where I previously worked. I regret my decision to leave the hospital (due to health issues) because I was always treated fairly and paid well and on time bi-weekly, with benefits.


 


If you are a recent MT graduate thinking about paying 99.00 to sign up for the intern program, that is a big mistake, there are other intern programs where you can find a job without you paying them (and sometimes even get a salary to boot, even though it is lower than a seasoned MT). My point is, there are many good opportunities out there and this is DEFINITELY not one of them.


 


I am posting this because I am a genuinely honest (and yes Christian) person and I should have known better, especially when I was not even tested. I don't want others to be cheated by this so called Christian organization.  If you ever get paid, it will take 2 or 3 months for one month pay and if you decide you can't afford to work there and quit, you forfeit all of your earnings and do not get paid period.


 


PLEASE BE CAREFUL!


Obviously I have more integrity than you do. Argue with yourself.
Good bye. You are a joke.
Integrity, any info on them? nm
Thanks!

Anyone else work or has worked for Integrity Transcription in Venice, Florida?  Do they pay on time?  How are the dictators and the owner? 


TIA


Integrity Transcription LLC, can anyone tell me....
about working for this company, have several concrete offers on the table, been doing searches, having problems finding information - is this a smaller company with a good MTSO?  I know they use emDat, is it hard to learn (I have almost 20 years on various others).  Any info SOOO appreciated!

Anyone work for Integrity? Pros/Cons?
Anyone hear anything about Integrity?
Has anyone heard anything about a company named Integrity? I started there on May 12, 2008 and now have no work coming in. I am afraid this is a set up where they steal your money after working.
Integrity in transcription
You know why I won't just find another job (THIS TIME)? Because I've 'found another job' three times in the past two years now.

The first time, it was because all of my accounts were offshored to India.

The second time, it was because our line rates changed detrimentally, in the form of some REALLY sneaky line accounting and then eventually a move to not paying for templates, headers, or footers - even though the line rate that I had accepted with said company was based on the fact that they paid for these things (7.5 cpl BECAUSE of that, when I'd had a 8.5 cpl offer come in at the same time for a company who did NOT pay those things).

The third time, I left because I found out that the company I was working for was surreptitiously offshoring their work when they claimed to be 100% AMERICAN. And then I was asked to QA (for 3.5 cpl) the HORRIFIC work that the Indians had done.

How many times do I have to 'just find another job' because every single stinking company is backhanded and sneaky and doesn't hold up their end of the bargain and shafts the transcriptionists at every turn?

If you're okay with breaking the law (which I will address in another post), then that's on you.

I am not. And I am not interested in being complicit in someone else breaking the law. And, furthermore, I would prefer to pave the way for transcriptionists EVERYWHERE to not be taken advantage of. My measly 9 cpl that I make as an IC (and pay my OWN taxes, which makes it equal out to, yes, 7.5 cpl) is worth kissing goodbye for this.

I am unafraid.

Moreover, I am ready to give up transcription for good.

I've been witness to years and years of whining and moaning on this forum (and others) about how poorly we're all treated.

I am going to do something about it, even if it means sacrificing my job.

Eff. It's time someone actually did.
MDI = Mutation of D's Integrity
 
Honesty, Loyalty, and Integrity! sm
A company that will be honest, no matter what the cost. Integrity to keep our records and work in the USA. Loyalty to your entire staff, let them know how important they are to the company, as well as loyalty to your clients. Keep your TATs and promises to your clients. Keep your promises to your MTs.

A decent line rate such as 10 cpl or above and flexibility!

Hope that helps!
Integrity Transcription Company

In reply to your question regarding Integrity.  It has to one of the greatest companies out there.  The owners are wonderful, honest and ahead of the rest.  I have worked for alot of companies and this has got to be the best one out there by far.  Pay is always on time, steady work, loyal and just all around great people.  If you have the chance I would suggest this company above all others before they are full....  Integrity, they stand by their name.  If you have any questions please let me know.  I'd be happy to answer any questions in regards to this company.  I've never been so happy.   Thanks!!

Does anyone have any information on Integrity Transcription Services, LLC?  Thanks in advance.
Integrity Transcription Services

Out of Louisiana .... Looking for any information, pay, type of platform, pay on time, DD, etc.   I have applied, they have sent the tests and I have asked them now 3 times what is the starting pay for someone with over 20 years experience and have not received a response yet.  Just curious ...


TIA


Her soul, her integrity, her patriotism...
Yeah, actually she sold out kinda cheap, huh?

Or perhaps that really is all she was worth as a human being.

I'd rather exist on my salary than sell my soul (and the souls of 400+ others) to the devil for $16 million.

It's gonna be hot down there, D...better dress lightly :-)
Integrity Transcription Services, any one know anything about this company?
Good or Bad
Warning: Integrity Transcription Services
Integrity Transcription Services, LLC (www.itsintegrity.com) in Venice, FL, consistently pays late and might possibly be a nonpayer (still owes me money). Most e-mails and all IMs concerning past due checks were ignored by the owner. Stay away if you want to get paid on time.
AAMT has a new name: Association for Integrity of Healthcare Documentation.

Medical Transcription has been voted out of their title. 


At least you stand up for yourself!

I am the HR person, QA, and trainer for a small company.  We've had the same employees for more than 5 years, some as long as 10.  Recently we had to hire a few new people because of growth. 


People talk about wanting to be respected and wanting to keep the work here.  I agree this needs to be done but in order to do that we have to have qualified people.  IF somebody passes our simple test, which is transcribing real files, and we hire them, we tell them their line requirement.  We don't even require set hours.  We get people who won't do 200 lines per day, much less what is required.  We get people who say they have 10 years of experience, yet require total read throughs, which cost us money.  The incredibly bad ones we have to let go, which is incredibly hard for me to do, then come here and post how horrible the employer is.  They don't mention the fact that 1) they still have our equipment even though they have their last check, 2) they failed to do their required lines per hour, 3) half the time they just didn't work at all PERIOD.  Or I invest a great deal of time in training them and they quit with reasons like I didn't realize it would take four hours to work part time and get my lines, I didn't know working at home was like having a REAL job.


I don't know anything about your company at all, but I do know the frustration at being hammered on these forums without the real stories being told, so I think it's great that somebody actually takes up for their company.  We do not outsource, but I have edited for companies who do, and the work is there ON TIME, even if it has to have minimal editing.  If someone is sick, there's somebody to back them up.  No whining, no emails from people who say that for the 10th time this month there was a wreck and their power is off, the dog is sick, I fell and hurt my back again, my dad is going to be ill in December so I'll need time off, my car broke down and I had to walk 5 miles home so that's why I am 8 hours late getting on, I was out all night partying and I have too much of a headache now to work.  It's a real shame for the people who actually do work their tails off.


 


What does TTS stand for? nm

Take a stand.

Lest we get redirected to the politics board, let me make a few general observations.  I would not look to the companies for resolution.  They are only one player among many whose greed holds our country in their clutch...a tight, squeezing grip that impoverishes the poor, enriches the wealthy and make economic refugees of the ever-shrinking middle class.  Look beyond the corruption of the politicians and whatever despair, frustration and hopeless you may feel.  For a long and single moment, stare far back into the eyes or our history and ask these questions over and over and over again:


Why are we paid wages like we're a third world country. It'd be nice just to meet the bills, but between low wages and high costs of having insurance, which we have to have because our antidepressant medications are so flipping high, who can survive doing this anymore? 


They are your questions.  They are mine too. Why, indeed.   Go and find your answers.  Seek educated and balanced debates pros and cons, right and left. Here's a hint on how to start.  You'll have to switch to something besides Fox and CNN to find this.   Listen to the candidates.  Follow the rhetoric and their platforms.  Watch closely and be a tough critic.  Put yourself around others who share these perspectives.  Listen and contribute, teach and learn from one and the other.  Identify your agenda and then go out and promote and support it. 


Do this between now and this time next year.  Then show up at the polls.  You will know what to do.  If you don't get what you want from the leadership and the legislators, do not disappear into the corner of the country.  Get out there and go for it, over and over.  This is not wasted effort.  If you were a child of the 60s or 70s, you would believe this.  In my life, sweeping, long-reaching and lasting reform has come and gone.  Minorities and women still reap the benefits of those efforts from so long ago.   The time is ripe for history to repeat itself.


PS:  If this were 1970, you and I would be organizing (watch out, here comes that dirty word) LABOR UNIONS. 


Could not stand it ..
First post I read was how nobody needs the BOS. Then I read this .. some days you just have to wonder how in the world people make a living if they really feel there need be no rules or standards. Forget India or Manila or Pakistan and for God sake, remember patient safety. There is a reason for standards and every time I come here I see someone shooting themselves in the foot with their incredibly illogical logic. Our jobs are about patient safety .. first, foremost and always.
What does LTS stand for?

Can't stand it.
I hate the way it searches patients, I hate the autotext format...basically can't stand it. I only live with it because I play it in express scribe and type it in word and then copy it over.
what's TT stand for ? nm

Where is YOG or what does that stand for???
Does this company still exist?  I tried to look on Google to see what company this is and cant find it.
What does it stand for, please? (SPi) (nm)


Who is going to stand up for us?

We are all spread out, and the company I just came from kept everyone's name a secret, including how many working on the account, changes in schedules - everything.


And this is exactly why, so we CAN'T do anything about anything.


I was with them about a month. I could not stand the
account they had me on and they got pretty rude about it.
what does MTSO stand for? nm
...
It would only stand to reason that they
ALWAYS on the verge of losing accounts, probably because of the cherry-picking, lazy, idiot MTs they employ.

Also, as was posted by Deb the last time this issue was brought up, it is because it is a different platform. Do they offer any of us without work the chance to train on the new platform? Of course not!
I stand corrected...

I see. I stand corrected.
xx
I absolutely cannot stand it - sm
When people feel the need to correct errors in posts!
Ahh, I stand corrected. nm

We should all take that stand, Angry4U.
In fact, we should take it further than that. We could start by writing letters to congresscritters and to facilities in our own town that use overseas transcriptionists.
Taking a stand
I work for MDI-MD which does not offshore. There ARE companies out there with integrity. I think it behooves all of you who are looking for new jobs to be very clear that you will work only for companies that do NOT offshore. You should also give the AAMT a piece of your mind since they have been supporting (and profiteering from) offshoring for years. Think about that the next time you write your excuse to this pathetic organization.
What does the eMTS stand for?
And do they have a web site? I am looking for a job and would really like to know more about them or how to send a resume. Thanks!
Stand your ground and tell them you would like to
If they don't tell you then move on to the next company.  For the posting below re: depending on how you test determines your salary.  I would never work for a company that did that.  It is not fair.  Many of us are great transcriptionist, but test horribly.  If a company makes you angy or they don't answer your question, then keep on truckin', there are plenty of them out there!  Good Luck
The initials stand for
TTS- Transcription Technology and Support out of New Hampshire.
I stand corrected

No, I did not know many of the things you say here.  The only pharmacy techs I know are people with very little training, not like anything you mention, and that does frighten me I must admit. 


I do know that many of the newbies seem to have a poor work ethic and don't seem to have had very much training.  I see that where I work.  And I do know someone who had been in a mentoring program offered by a national and had a horrible experience and barely kept herself alive on what she made. 


I did not know the other things you mentioned.  I am glad you filled me in on these things.  I want to learn all I can about our situation.  I welcome feedback and I sure wish the things you mentioned were discussed here.  I'd be grateful if you could advise me where to turn to find out such things and keep track of what is really going on, because I apparently am not getting the whole story.  I'd also be interested in your ideas for what to do as you seem to know what you're talking about. 


I apologize if I offended you or anyone else. 


oh - I stand corrected. So who's LK?

I don't come here enough to know the companies that well...what does SGS stand for? TIA (nm)
