were eligible to participate immediately in the 401. As far as the matching, their ad states discretionary so I assume it is dependent upon profit margin or something. At least they are up front about it and not telling you they match and then say, Oops, no more like MQ did.

My contract (was just recently hired for a new acct coming on) does not list any benefits for part-t
It only gives the requirements (as stated in my previous post) for full-time status for benefits. If they used to offer benefits, they are not offering them to new hires, at least that is my impression.
I recently hired on and was told they were kind of getting away from 12 hour (sm)
but that a lot of that depended on the account you were hired for.
your time is coming . . . easy does it when first hired on with TransTech, of course.
Do you think they are going to discourage you on the very first day of hire. NOT.
Obviously, you are one who is getting cherry-picked reports, but your time will come for the difficult dictators just as we all get.
So glad you enjoyed your first day.
Hired recently for 0.825 cpl.
:)
Recently hired (sm)
They were slow with me too, but I just kept calling every day and letting them know I had to work - Becky is the best person - She will always answer your emails and get things done. she did for me! They are great but you have to be proactive and it works! Good Luck! I'm completely content.....Hope this helps!!
I'm a recently hired IC for MDI
nm
was you recently hired?
How long ago did you work for them? My friend was very recent....
They have recently hired several, don't know
for sure if they are still hiring, but best way to apply is through their website. The recruiters and supervisors do not work in the office, but in their homes. The fax is probably in CA, so faxing the resume may not get you a response.
I was recently hired and did not test.

Were you recently hired for a new account? If so (sm)
wouldn't it be easier for you to ask them at the office if the acct has started, if not when, if it has, ask for a backup. Coming here and complaining does no good.
Just recently hired, and so far I Love it...
e-mail me with specific questions if you want...but I have no complaints thus far.
Well, crap. I was just recently hired
by DSG and have heard only good things from folks nice enough to answer my posts on here.
I'm quitting my full-time job (with a steady paycheck) to work from home with DSG. Gosh, I hope and pray that I make enough money!!! I committed to 1000 lpd and will be IC status Monday when I start.
HELP!! Now I'm scared!! Good luck to you, though.
This is scary, I was recently hired :( nm

I was hired recently & they did not have enough work to train me.
I had never heard of such a thing before.
Don't bother. I was recently hired and hate it.
is correct in saying that they are not honest. Wish I was aware of that before taking this job. Guess I'll just keep checking the job postings. Should have listened to my daughter she tried to warn me.
As recently as last week, I was told that there were
never employee positions at MDI-MD, strictly IC only. Are you sure you have the right company? I have many friends who work there as well, and all are IC and wish they had employee status. Very confused here.
Yikes! Webmedx recently told me they don't have
...the capability for VR. Is this something new?
Was told recently that they do 70% clinic notes and 30% acute care, very few Ops. Don't know
m
They told you they were looking for 3rd shift and hired someone for that sm
so you don't trust them? That doesn't make any sense.
After I was told I was hired by someone advertising
on the company board here - I provided my DL#, SSN and never heard back from her - since she said up front a background investigation would need to be done down the line and with the type of work I was to do - I understood - but never again. Unless it is a very reputable company with a lot of info about them out there - I will never provide again - way too scarey.
Debbie told me when she hired me
that she is more interested in the total line count than the hours. Pam I Yam and the other poster is correct - just put your regular shift instead of all the signing in and out stuff. The time card needs to show 40 hours but how many people take bathroom breaks and actually eat during the day? It's not a big deal!!!!! Put your regular shift in.
Yeah, that's what they told me when I was hired...
they were hiring all American QA and leads and that they were making a transition to bring work back on shore. Six months later, I was fired along with a bunch of other people.
Like I said, THEY LIE!
Right before I hired on, they finally told me that..sm
they couldn't offer the health insurance that is stated on their website. Also, they don't pay for holidays - lines only. Platform definitely not a productive one! I turned down their offer quickly.
I hired on a month ago and was told there was no choice sm
but to use their computer. I do not object to the deposit, and, like you, I think it is reasonable since they are supplying their equipment to a stranger. I would MUCH prefer to use my computer to the computer they sent me.
As far as WMX being the best company ever, your experience must be better than mine. So far, I have experienced an account with VERY poor sound quality, running out of work during my scheduled time, requests for a secondary account ignored, and emails ignored by the team manager. Fortunately, I am only working part-time, so it is just a minor irritation while I look for something else.
Everyone's experience with a company is unique, and I am glad that yours is a positive one. Sorry that I cannot say the same. 
Was asked when hired, told them I wanted M-F...
and fortunately for me, they had M-F accounts that were a good fit for me. I've only been there 2 months but feel like I've landed in a good spot!
I hired on about 3 months ago and was told then Monday a.m. (sm)
might be sketchy at times due to so many people scheduling themselves day shift. I don't mind really, I came from Medquist and now when I run out of work and have to flex my time it is on my schedule. I don't have to schedule a time to make up work, i.e. Friday thru Sunday and MQ wanted me pinned down as to EXACT hours I would be on working.
The accounts I am on are smaller than I am used to (both under 500 beds) but they seem to keep me in work most of the time. Smaller accounts and overflow accounts can be a killer though.
Good luck. Hope it gets better for you today. I am still in the honeymoon phase but I really love it here.
When I was hired I was told the 15th and 30th, but
handbook says 15th and last day of month. I sure was disappointed.
Superior Global-out of Plano, TX..anyone else apply recently, told they were hiring quickly and to
do the testing ASAP..only to do the testing ASAP and then hear nothing. Trust me, the testing WAS NOT hard so I can't believe I wouldn't have passed that part. I followed up with emails as to whether they received my tests back etc..but nothing. no response. I find that rude. Even a simple, Dear John, we aren't hiring you would have been polite than nothing at all..Unprofessional
I was told 6000 lines for 2 weeks when I hired
in as an SE 6 weeks ago.
Is this true? I was just hired and was told 24 hours for PTO...nothing about 401K..let me know!
I was hired for 3rd shift and was told there was plenty of work
i was given 4 accts and still don't make money - that is all i am saying
I wasn't hired for 1 work type, but told them I like OPs so that is what I am assigned. When I r
out of ops, I usually stop unless we are out of TAT on other jobs because I do not want to take other people's work. I do not think I should get paid less for that.
Hired by Cymed and told they did not pay for spaces, but paid for headers and footers. Just did a
check on the line count, and not only do they not pay for headers and footers, they also pay for 2 lines less than I typed.
I was told several new accts are coming on this month and also next month, so
I'm not worrying.
I think it depends on experience, account hired for, etc. I was hired at .08 per line sm
but after 90 days went to 0.085 and then 0.09 about 90 days after that. I am now at 0.0925 and have been there a year. I have to point out that the line rate might not be the highest but I can verify my counts, have plenty of work, get paid on time and have a great manager. To me, leaving a bad national and the headaches that went with it was well worth the cut in pay I took. Funny thing is that I took a pretty sizable pay cut but make more money ?!?!
I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to
:+
I said "about to be" hired... not yet hired, and ........
considering it just like I would consider any job.... I didn't accept the job yet and wanted to check out the info out there.
I saw this coming!!!
I saw this coming when they first started us on this new platform, and eventually, ALL the accounts will be editing. These MTs really don't care because it is not happening to them right now!! My opinion is that EVERYONE will eventually be editing and not typing and at the 40% lower rate per line. When that happens, all of these Transcend cheerleaders will be just like me, sitting with their mouths hanging open in disbelief that it is happening to them. I used to be one of those cheerleaders and now feel bad that the 2 people I referred to Transcend have now had to go get other jobs because of lack of work, timeouts, downtime, etc., etc. Why would they want to pay 8 cents per line when they can pay for those same lines at 4.8 with editing. OF COURSE, everyone possible will be editing, and it will not take long to do it either. We had about a week's notice when we went to editing, which I felt was also inconsiderate, and they will do everyone else that way too--just watch and see what happens!!
Like I said before, TRANSCEND SUCKS!!
Ex-Transcend cheerleader!!!
Where do they keep coming up with
these numbers? I have been an MT for 15 years. I am 35, starting my MT career at 20! Do they know exactly how many American MTs there are, if so I would like that number. I have a hard time believing our average age comes in at 59!
I think that is coming up soon, at least by
the letter on the new MT/ME Rewards Plan.
!!!!
I know where you are coming from Glo
I applied at Spheris. The lady called me, and then called back a few minutes later to find out why I left a certain position. She was real shady sounding on the phone. Then, she proceeds to tell me that they have no positions at the current time. Really strange? I usually just see the writing on the wall so to speak. If they call me, I'll flat out refuse to work for them as they were very unprofessional in my book. JMO! And again, are still advertising like every day. ???? I don't get it or maybe I do?!?! 
I just don't see where you are coming from....
EVERY email that I have sent, I have received a reply.
And I think it is great that the QA person explains the blank because that is maybe why you had the blank in the first place - that maybe you did not understand the exact nature of the word and could not find it anywhere. I would rather have more information versus not enough information.
There are a lot of difficult dictators but if everyone did a few of them then the difficult dictator(s) could be shared and one person would not get bogged down with them. That is what they have tried before - one person sent an email asking everyone to take ONE job of a particular dictator so it would not be all on one transcriptionist...Now come on, that is fair - ONE JOB for ONE BAD DICTATOR. I know it cannot be like that all of the time but that just shows that they do try.
I really have not had any of the problems you are talking about. But I can only speak for what I have seen and from my own experience.
Their pay is ALWAYS correct and ALWAYS on-time. And they do pay better than most places. They have an A+ in my book!
I still believe the day is coming when MTs
nm
know where you both are coming from,
got laid off myself and I did resent them and MYSELF for all the times I never took off, short-changed my kids and events for them, stayed even off the clock a few times because no OT, while the same 3 people were always the ones not coming in for one reason for another. But you know what? I would probably do it again. To thine own self be true, is that how it goes? I have to live with myself and they are all on their own. Fortunately, I have just enough time to get to bed before I fall asleep without medication. Some people can't help it and have to take something, but that's a condition, not guilt, keeping them awake. This was not aimed at those people. Good luck to all of you.
Doing VR, know exactly where you are coming from
Others who talk against it, never tried it have no idea how it is as far as a piece of cake. I saw the other posting about when it gets so good to replace you BUT having worked on the same platform for several years now mine does not stay letter A perfect month after month, always a need for an MTer to come in and be there for reports that need to be cleaned up. I have said some platforms surely are better than others but if you have a bad 1, then you need to find a good platform. There is so much bad and forth on this subject, the ones hating, like I said, never done, bad platform or only see that the salary is dropping (for a short time as you and I know) but that is what is pushing these postings against. I was never totally against, like you up in age and glad that the hands/arms had not worn out as much as I worked. Glad you are liking.
That is too funny coming from you!
Darlin....I quit OSi a little over a month ago along with everyone else!
Would not surprise me in the least. Something is coming not sure what.
:
You keep coming back though right?
Obviously, you love it.
knew that was coming!
Three things are for sure - death, taxes, and that you'll start your vendetta the minute anyone mentions OSI!
Yes, and new accounts coming on...sm
constantly.
Of course it is coming from your check, just like an
employee, but they are submitting the $$ to the IRS instead of you having to do quarterly filings.
