What would the patients' meeting their deductibles have to do with anything?
The hospital telling MTSO & MTs not to log on would make me nervous. Could be they're just about to lose that account.
At the very least, I'd be putting feelers out there for other possible job opportunities. $42/pay period is unacceptable, as is being told to 'be patient'. Will your creditors 'be patient' when you can't pay them? I don't think so.
Somewhere along the line, people who employ MTs seem to have forgotten that this isn't just a HOBBY with us - we're trying to make an actual living at this.

That sounds fishy to me!

Sounds fishy
Does sound a little fishy. Thanks for the replies.
Sounds fishy...
All my MTs are ICs and they are all responsible for purchasing their own software, equipment, etc. It sounds like this company is making a decent buck on software programs...do the math (# of MTs x $25/month = ??). I wouldn't work there if I were you. It also sounds like you MTs are paying for their accounting paperwork every month. That should be a business expense for the company, not the MT. JMHO. 
Sounds fishy to me
and my tax refund is spent.
Something sounds fishy here.
Someone mentioned that your company would never know if you erased and retyped (but they would b/c they could monitor keystrokes) and you said they were their rules so you're sticking by them. I agree with that. But now you're saying that they're the hospital rules. There is no way the hospital can monitor your Keystrokes or even has the time to monitor the keystrokes of every single report that goes through their system. That is internal data of the company. There is no way the hospital would know if you erased and retyped.
Sounds fishy
While I was reading your post, even before you mentioned, it, I thought this sounded like an inside job. I agree that you should contact a lawyer or at least fight for unemployment. Also, file a lawsuit against the company since you have proof that you did not submit the resignation. Maybe a lawyer would have success in getting a court order to obtain more details from Yahoo regarding the identity of the sender of that fraudulent email.
This sounds fishy to me.

Sounds fishy to me, too
We were all notified by e-mail. Why on earth would someone miss anything as important as a conference call?
I agree. Sounds way fishy to me.nm

Sounds fishy...methinks
Seems like you could have contacted the IRS and told them the situation and provided bank statements that showed you didn’t get paid the 50,000. I would have done that. The banks send the IRS paperwork every year on what your interest is anyways, so they have a record of what your account has looked like. You paid the money for 50,000 you didn't get to the IRS instead? That seems odd to me. Who would do that? I would call the IRS and tell them what happened. When I file taxes through Turbo Tax it actually asks if you need any of your forms ammended. I would have called and asked for them to help me get it ammended.
Hmmm...sounds kinda fishy to me.
They need to give you a straight answer.
This sounds pretty standard to me
and not at all unusual for a national to offer.
sounds like other companies, pretty much. nm

This sounds like a pretty good deal, especially if....sm
you are making $$. You can always contribute to an IRA that will be tax deductible at end of year. Sometimes going to a company for the benefits doesn't pay off - ask me: I tried it twice in the past month, only to quit both jobs after about 1 payroll period as it became obvious that they either didn't know how to do payroll correctly, or that the lines weren't correct (even though they claimed to pay for hdrs/footers/spaces etc!).
I would sure like to know where you work - I'm an EXText-er myself and want just PT. Care to share???? Thanks!!
Wow, sounds pretty impressive. Do you mind sharing sm
how much per line you get regular time? Do you get a daily incentive bonus?
yep, very fishy.....sm
Shapin does have an ad looking for editors on another job board too.
And that is what I think is so fishy about them.

Something fishy sm
Googled DocXpress...no results pertaining to an MTSO or MT company or transcription came up.
The email address that the person leaves in the post has the domain name of naturalhealthway.com. I typed www.naturalhealthway.com in my browser, and the website has nothing to do with transcription, either.
Wondering what the dillio with that post is all about, to be honest...
Looks like something fishy here...
LOL.
something fishy
I work for a company that promotes VR all the time now forcing us to move to it and I know I will have to move to VR for less pay or leave the company which I have always liked until now. I don't understand. We are running out of work because VR is getting most of it but when I looked up old reports I see that my supervisor is typing them. Makes me real suspicious. We don't have enough work anyway unless you work VR then my supervisor is typing reports. I wonder if the company is in trouble or if everybody has just quit? I can't say the name of the company here
Fishy is right
I even checked with supe to see if there were server problems. Just told, Sorry it's unusually slow today. I'm usually told to check back later but they didn't even suggest that! It's almost as if all the jobs on my account were *manually* removed and outsourced to other MTs.
Something fishy here.....see message
I live in Atlanta and I just called the management company who manages 945 East Paces Ferry. They do not have a tenant who is leasing under the name of JAX Transcription. There are several businesses at this address with various suite numbers. They confirmed that Transcend is a tenant, but there is no record of a Jax Transcription.
The person who is posting ads needs to be more forthright. What's the deal here?
Something is fishy if the email is returned and you
respond directly to the one sent to you. I would just forget trying to contact them. It sounds too strange.
Thanks! It looked fishy on a job post elsewhere.
Never heard of RBS before. Says they also handle actors as agents. Interesting...perhaps a multifaceted corporation. Thanks for your help.
Not fishy. Just a transcriptionist who has worked for
2 companies which did not count correctly and after having done a minute to line comparison finding that the present job is not counting correctly either. Perhaps the wording is awkward. Should have asked who counts lines with a correct line to minute ratio. And you know what that means if you have been in the business long enough.
There is something fishy going on, you ask where the work is and they hem and haw. I am about histo
I am sure they overhired or it is going to speech, Idon't know how that works but usually when the work dries up on a lucrative account, speech is involved.
Funny, I was hired at 9 CPL. Something is fishy. nm

Very Fishy Story He's Telling You
I have 3 different platforms installed on my Vista laptop at the moment, and none of them are having trouble with the others living there too. Something doesn't sound right.
Can you afford to buy a separate computer? Perhaps one of those netbooks for $300 or so, and then hook it up to your (old) big monitor and keyboard? That would eliminate OSi from even needing to know that you are working for anyone or what other platforms you're using.
It sounds like a sneaky way to enforce an ILLEGAL non-compete agenda to me.
There's something fishy here. The anti-KS troll is back!
I make 9.5 cpl after 2 years. Someone is trying to stir up trouble again.
did anyone get a response from the original poster? this post is just fishy, especially since they
nm
We give up on your naysayers. Great company, but if you choose to believe it's fishy, your loss.

sure sounds swell. Sounds like 2350 ln/day @ 4 cents/ln=$90./day
in order to figure how many line needs to be produced to make $500 per pay period. ie, how many lines an hour needed per 8 hour day --at your rate.
So say $450 a week would be $90 a day.
For example, if making 4 cents a line,need 2,250 lines a day, 281 an HOUR (to listen through and edit) to make this great wage of $90. a day FOR ALL THIS SAME SKILL, TO KEEP UPDATED WITH CHANGING MEDICAL COMMUNITY. nope Better at Jack-in-Box Pass it up.
Sounds like it and it sounds like you must tell them when they will be and no change them. Wonder
what you do when there is no work. Well, there will be a lot of problems with this whole plan if they dont get things straightened out with this no work situation.
Must be pretty far SM
I've worked for them for 2 years and never a problem.
Pretty Bad
I have no interest in working for Keystrokes, but had to check out their new and improved benefit package. It is pretty bad unless you are unlucky enough to have a couple of deaths in the family.
You could say that about pretty much every co.
You know what they say about opinions...I have seen just about every major national company being asked about on these boards at one time or another and there are always people who will have negative things to say about them. On the other hand, there are always people who will say positive things as well. The only thing you can do is educate yourself about each company by going to their website and contacting the company directly to get answers. Otherwise, it's all a lot of hearsay. JMO
I appreciate that!! I am pretty used to getting
flamed for not-so-positive comments so you are a breath of fresh air!! I hope they work out for you, I really do. I was one who loved Spheris until, well, I guess I should not say, but I hated MQ, so I guess we have both BTDT. Good luck to you, too:) I really think I have found mine with this company that just hired me. Sure hope so:)
That's pretty bad...
most editors I know make way more than that.
Most of them do, I am pretty sure.
nm
They pretty much
change things to suit themselves.... not the mt
Pretty sure they do, I have seen their
banner across a board....
Pretty much par for this course, it seems. nm

Pretty much
It is very difficult to go after foreign entities due to cost and resources. I won't work for one ever. This is why many con artists in different countries get away with it. There is not much we can do.
Pretty sure
for some reasons with all the new accounts for administrative reasons they felt easier to catagorize that way. It is all one company and everything is the same. Only the accounts are designated 1 and 2.
Thanks, that's pretty much what
I am getting from everyone I ask. I just thought with them being as big as they are maybe they would have better benefits and a better rep. Thanks!
I'm pretty new
at TT myself. I've only been there a few months, but I'm very happy working for them. Have any of you asked to be taken off an account and given a different one? There are times when I really struggle with my account, and I wonder what would happen if I asked for a different one? I'm a little nervous though...what if the newer account is more of a struggle? I would be anxious about learning a new account too. Sigh. Any thoughts? Thanks!
i think that is pretty low
look elsewhere. did you try looking for jobs on mtdaily.com they have many legitimate firms looking for workers.
Pretty please.
nm
I am pretty sure you do
need a USB.
I think I pretty much said it all, but if you have
specific questions you can e-mail me.
Im pretty sure this is it. SM
