CorT Medical
I am suing them for the money they owe me. They have not even responded to the lawsuit. I don't even know what else to do.
Maybe search for Cort or CorT..most posts were negative so maybe they were deleted. nm

Is the NWU offering medical insurance again?
I had great insurance at a great rate through them years and years ago, then they dropped it because the cost was prohibitive. If they are offering it again, I applaud them. They are a good union and very unconfrontational, well spoken (guess that's a mute point, eh?) but still don't have the big bucks it would take to promote the MT industry on the level that is needed. Almost every American MT would need to join and NWU would need to find a lobbying group to help.

Anyone contact Augusta Medical Trans to see what they were offering as far as acct, platform, pay?

When it rains it pours. Second job offering bonus. FT job offering (sm)
has lots of work and offering opportunity to make up lines/hours from low work during the week.   Feel guilty if I don't help main account, but greed motivates me.
CorT
Last I knew, there was only a handful amount of people who still work for them.  Most of them on the last straw with them.  Communication was worse than ever and the don't even pay their people.... big surprise there.  Couple of MTs still waiting for there last few paychecks.
Ex-CorT MT

I would like to chat with you if you are willing.  I am a recently ex-CorT MT.  In same situation.


Another Happy CorT'r
I started on the apprentice program in Jun, with no experience.  Through the excellent QA and correction process they have, I have greatly improved my % and have been given an increase in pay.  I was not paid on time when I first started out because of the problems in the company not getting paid as stated in other posts. I have now been paid in full for the work I have done there, just as they promised.  The work load is consistent and VERY plentiful! I feel respected and part of a team. I will NOT be looking for another company any time soon!  Good luck to you.  Hopefully, you will be able to find the perfect fit as I have.
CorT...anybody work for them?
I received an offer for an MT/Quality Asessor job with these guys, and a couple things about it sort of seem odd. Firstly, I've never spoken to anyone there, never had a phone interview or anything, just filled out the online application and took the test and boom, job offer. Is this common? I've only worked for one company from home, and I had a phone interview with them, so I could be just inexperienced with how many companies hire their people. Secondly, am I understanding the offer correctly? There's an evaluation period where I don't get paid for the work I do???
maybe search for Cort

I appreciate the info..I thought it sounded too good to be true!  Thanks!


I work for CorT

thanks for the input..like I said I could find absolutely nothing for them in the archives, so I must not be looking right if there have been past posts on them. Do they have health benefits for FT employees? And if you can tell me where exactly in Ohio they are located I would appreciate it. If you want you can e-mail me. Thanks.


CorT is a client of Focus actually. sm
Focus subcontracts work to CorT as well as a few other companies.
I work for CorT and love it!
Have been working with them for about 6 months now.  There have also been good posts about this company.  It's amazing how people forget the good.  They are great people to work for.  They have had problems in the past with pay, but that has been resolved.  I've had no pay problems since then.  They have consistent work.  The owners actually care about the people that work for them.  I will not be looking elsewhere for a place to work!
Not them but CorT bounced my friends 3 checks. nm
.
Is it true that CorT is bouncing checks and LYING?

How much are they offering?nm
x
they are offering
almost .085 cpl. which is amazing but I hear that 50 to 80% of the work is VR and the pay for that is 70% of what your hiring line rate is.
What is with offering less than 1/2 for VR? Have any of these sm

... people who decide wages ever done this job?!?  Do they know what it takes to make it in this business?  Or, are they like many other people out there thinking we just type what we hear? 


 


Signed,


So Annoyed!


Yes. When the recuiter was offering me
the position I told her I wanted to work evenings and one day on the weekend. She said, "Oh, I didn't realize you wanted to work during those times. I can bump you up." We talked on a bit about how things work with MQ and stuff and then I asked what the offer was and she said she my test scores were 99% (?I guess on both the transcription part and the click-the-answer part..lol) and she asked if I would be happy with 9.5 cpl. I asked if that included incentive and she said that would be my base rate and that incentive would be on production, paid on each check.

I see on the QNet page a payroll schedule that shows a bonus every 3 months but mine is paid on my check instead.

For ME, I was happy with that and took it and ran! I felt very excited about it.

The DQS thing, it is slow to get logged into but once it is up and running I really like it. Everything is at your fingertips, name lists, account information, and the Expander is easy to use. I have had to learn to not use macros -- at least I don't know how to do them on this if you can.

I start at 6 pm and type until midnight. My first couple of nights I was REALLY REALLLLLYY slow. I started picking up though. I get about 1400 to 1600 lines in a night most nights. Sometimes, if I have work that isn't the account I'm on, I might get 1000. I really have to stick with it though.

So far, I really like it. Apparently some people don't, by their silly posts above. Oh well.

Or else the company is offering
referral bonuses.
I'd like to know what pay scale she is offering. NM
NM
And yet, ANOTHER company offering
But wait. They have several incentives. Who the heck could afford to put into a 401k at .005 per line??? COME ON PEOPLE, GET REAL. Stop trying to jack the MT's for heaven's sake.
Companies offering IC
Does anyone know of any companies where you can still be an IC, and they take your taxes out?  I loved being an IC, and would like to go back that way again. 
Nevada? If so, in 2/07 were offering 7 cpl and using

Exactly - TransTech is not even offering OT now
She obviously can't make quota, is pulling this trick and trying to blame TransTech. Shame on her.
Mind if I ask what MQ was offering?
I left them a few months ago, partly because of the pay, and I'm just curious what they're offering new hires. 
I thought they said in their ad they were offering 0.08 cpl?
Is this the same ad on the job seeker's board that I seen? What a bunch of liars they are if they post one rate and then offer another.
Actually they are offering it, must be a catch, but they

I have seen companies offering 10 cpl on the job ads.
Focus for one pays 10 cpl (5 for editing) for employees if you work night shift.
She was only offering reassurance, not - sm
touting. I have been with Transcend for 8 years and I can only remember maybe a rare occasion when there was no work, and it was welcoming for me. As far as us having all of MDI-MD’s work; I don’t recall every working on one of their accounts, in fact I have had the same 4-5 accounts for as long as I can remember, and they will give me more if I want it; all I have to do is ask. You may be feeling like MDI-MD sold you out, but give Transcend a chance, it might be better, but you will never know unless you try.
cascas: what national is offering 11 CPL?
thanks 
Any suggestions on companies offering--
part-time or full-time 3rd shift radiology positions?
I would consider it a low average right now. Look at the ads to see what they're offering. nm

That is PATHETIC! Co is offering an IC position
at 5 cpl (yes, 5 cpl for an IC!!!!) with a POSSIBLE raise to 6 cpl in 90 days. That's the worst I've seen yet. I sincerely hope noone stoops as low as to accept that kind of pay.
They are offering this same wage to QA people
with megayears of experience. That is my point!
In Florida? Are they still offering only 7 cpl with NO spaces?? nm
s
guess it would depend on what they are offering to
pay.  I am paid with spaces and only get 7.5 cents...so,,...just say the highest you think you are worth and see what they offer.
Last year they were offering 7 cpl with NO spaces. nm

Does anyone know what cpl rate SmartScripts is offering? sm
I have received testing materials from them and I really don't want to spend time testing for 7 cpl. Thanks in advance.
But this is an ad for a Saudi hospital offering

Why does Amherst not offering anything at all. I guess because they have enough of us idiots to do
what little work there is there is no need to pay for anything at all. I guess they would rather keep hiring than allow us to have work and get a little extra on weekends and holidays. Nice right.
Is MQ the only company offering a sign-on bonus?

If they keep offering those pathetic line rates
LOL.
Are you a newbie? They're only offering 7 cpl and using Emdat. nm

They're only offering 6-8 cpl with NO spaces. That's enough to turn me off! nm

what are you offering, you offshore, have no control over your client?

what are you offering, you offshore, have no control over your client? Duh?!
meant to add that.
In 2005, they were offering 8 cpl up to 1400 lines a day. Over that,

Right and if they are offering OT, you just note it on sheet. No biggee.

DeVenture, TTS, and Lee Perfect were offering 4 cpl for eScription. nm

Softscript offering 7 cpl for acute care

Is this right? I have 3 years experience and the recruiter stated every account has ESLs.  I do not know if I can pay my bills on 7 cpl unless accounts are good. Any infor?
