If you do not have a lead, then the coordinator is in charge. sm

You can call the office (someone is either there or gets the messages and returns calls) or email or call the person who trained you. There is someone in charge of every account, even if not an official lead if the account is new.

As a shift lead I made $15 an hour, but did QA plus lead duties...
I also worked terrible hours with no differential for them. I think it just matters on the company.
footnote, its not what they charge, it is how they charge --
I would love to see a more fair process for all, as in easily checked and verified. No option of software...calibration...on any side, be it client, mtso, mt.

but if VBC - I'm gonna want more money per line.


? for any lead at Keystrokes. What does a lead do?

Do they do QA, mentor, or ....? 


You can e-mail me privately if you like. 


Some of us choose neither to lead, nor be lead!
I guess I just don't have that 'pack mentality'.
OSi coordinator
If OSi is so bad why don't some of you take those jobs and straighten it out?
The coordinator sent out email to her MTs. NM
.
I would say you can thank your account coordinator
She has seen that you will do them so girlfriend you will get them right and left. She doesn't care about your line count, just work and get the repors out!
Their is an account coordinator who still does it. Also
the folks in ops are real bad about calling when it is not appropriate.
I miss my coordinator...
 
Only coordinator that doesn't do it is
She should have stayed gone the first time, she is the best, she does not allow cherrypickers.
Are you talking about the coordinator who
could not get a job any place else because she has no experience? So, she asked for her job back at OSI! I hope that is not the one you are referring to, and surely it isn't. You might be talking about the one who was once a trainer??
OSi coordinator job opening again? Another
   
I too am an ex account coordinator
Agree with everything you said.
She was my coordinator....She was there as of Sunday...

thanking us all for the hard work with TAT! I had my last day thank goodness, my head was spinning from the revolving door of ACs, TLs, etc!


account coordinator

coordinator quit
She still works there - so OSi cant be that bad
Coordinator Position - Good/Bad (SM)
Was just offered a workflow coordinator position and am wondering if this would be a good move.  Pay would be about what I make in an average month of MTing.  Anyone been there/done that with reference to this type of job??  Any input would be much appreciated. 
What makes a great coordinator?
I was wondering what makes a good coordinator? Like, what did she do that was different from the others? I've thought about trying to advance (not at OSi), and I'd like to be the kind of person that people say these kinds of things about? What did she do to make you look forward to coming to work?
Another coordinator bite the dust at OSi?
 
Yet another OSi coordinator bites the dust...
I'm tellin ya, the turnover for those positions sure makes it seem like the perfect dream job eh?
Another coordinator bites the dust at OSi
There seems to be a lot of turnover with coordinators there.  The one that just left was great.
Wonder if that's why a coordinator recently left abruptly
That happened with a day or two notice, and the leads were dumped with no notice at all. Wonder if she knew what was going down or what is about to go down and decided to leave because of it?
I told the coordinator about it long ago, and she didn't have a problem with it. sm

As you said, though, the new handbooks are coming out, so we'll see.  I would think that would be a tough rule to enforce.  I have worked 2 jobs almost all of my life.  What I do on my own time when I am off the clock is my business as long as it is not in direct conflict with my full-time position.  That's just my thought, though .....



How to charge

HELP PLEASE- The company that I have been transcribing for (RADIOLOGY ONLY) for the past three years, just told me that they are going to switch over to voice or speech recognition and want me to come up with a fee for being the proofreader....I HAVE NO IDEA! Any help that you can give me would be much appreciated. Thanks!


how to charge
Dear Lori,
Do you have experience with voice or speech recognition? Is asking for samples from each person a legitimate request?
There is no charge to the MT

Take Charge
Call the supervisor of the transcription department and speak with her in person. Explain that you have been cleared to work full time and would appreciate a chance at your position once more. Let her know that the deiscrepancies in your performance evaluations were due to an illness that has now been resolved. If she does not return your call, wait a a few hours and call her back -- say something like, I was called away and wanted to be sure I hadn't missed your call. Lay your cards on the table. Don't start by lying or leaving things out -- it will only haunt you in the end.

Good Luck.
what to charge?
Looking for what are approximate reasonable rates (approx. range) for MT company to charge doctors' offices.  Any info is appreciated.  Just started a very small company.  Seems difficult to find this kind of info.  Thank you in advance.
Those In Charge Probably Will
Don't you think that those in charge of the US-only accounts will form some kind of offshoot and absorb the workers? This seems the most likely outcome to me. Cross fingers.
Charge
Usually Clients are charged per character. Depending on if MTs get paied for spaces, the client would get charged for spaces as well.
They only charge $125 now.
 
You charge for QA?
Yikes.
But they charge you
$300 for equipment don't they? At least, that's what I heard. What kind of equipment are they providing for that money and is it transferrable?
what do I charge?
Hi everyone - quick question. I am in the Houston area, and have a private doctor's office interested in my services. I really don't know what to charge per line. Do I charge the same as I am making with my company, or a little less? Do doctor's pay the same rate as hospitals? Any input would be appreciated! THANKS!
What do they charge for their service?
I would be curious to know the cost of such a wonderful service and the success rate of placement.
Well - you need to charge $50-60 an hour and you will. nm

That is for pay; what they charge is much higher. sm
They are not cheap. Our department went with them a few months ago, and they were higher than all but one other company. My manager and her higher-ups really liked them. We have met the owners and two of their managers and I have to say that I was impressed too. They were definitely the nicest company that came in. They are doing a great job too. I am going to work there part time evenings, so I would recommend them.
Charge for equipment
Well if they don't charge for equipment rental just how recently did they stop. I just started working for them last month and have to pay $20 month. As for the incentive, doubt I'll ever see it because all I seem to get are ESLs, financially a disaster.
So "power hog" is probably in charge of that too
..
word charge
Does anyone charge by the word and if so what do you charge?  Thanks
Sarcasm aside, they may actually not charge for them.
I've not been privy to the mgmt/marketing end of this biz in a few years, but I can totally see someone promoting you don't pay for blank space to customers.
Why on earth do they charge??
How much was the membership and what do you get in return?  Just curious.  I don't pay to belong to message boards, although I would consider if I got something great in return!
They do not charge you with errors while
on 100% QA so the score always shows 100%,  They do make corrections in your reports if needed, but they don't count against you.  Once you are released from 100% QA (I was released my second day, some still on 100% for much longer) they only QA 3% so most reports where only blanks are filled in your QA score will show at 100%, but it doesn't mean your monthly QA score is 100%.
OMG. I can't believe a company would charge $20 so you can
nm
They charge you to work!

I talked to the lady from Augusta and she told me that they charge you $11 a month to use their platform, which I cannot remember the name of right now.  They also charge you $2 a pay period for direct deposit.  They only pay 8 cpl, but your 163 lines is going toward you paying for the use of the platform so you can receive the work plus being able to receive your direct deposit.  Do they think we are CRAZY? ! 


does amphion charge rental fee
cannot answer this question but as to your line rate, you could make 9 cents if you worked an afternoon or night shift with Transcend, but they are switching to voice recognition, so dont know what they are going to pay for editing!!! Try Webmedx, they pay for experience and apparently have work. You might make that much with a differential at amphion as well. try their website, they are in wisconsin.
What to charge for clinic work...
I was just called by a local clinic and asked to do some overflow clinic work - they are behind and are looking to hire - I'm not interested in leaving my acute care for a national, but wouldn't mind helping them out. I was asked how much to charge and I haven't any idea. Is anyone willing to share what they charge for doing clinic work? I would work at home using my own equipment.
Transtech, right? Yes they charge for equipment. I have seen sm
there lph and benefit rates, and I feel I can post negatively about a company who pays very low line rates and has a really low incentive schedule.  I have seen it in writing.  Would not consider them.
they do still charge for FT employees within the Last few months
I am being charged but it isnt much really.
MQ does not charge a deposit or rental
