The real number rounds down to how much you averaged/ made an hour.


No matter how you figure, by the line, character, gross line, by the page, by the dictation minute  or whatever, it is what you can average out in a day of work.


You work 10, 12, 14, 16 hours and make $XXXX you divide your hours worked into what you ended up with

Kick 'em 2 the curb - U are 2 good 4 'em! nm

The last 3 I applied for called ALL of mine! I did give 'em a head's up, tho'. :) nm
.
had 'em all going!

rofl


not if you don't tell 'em about it! lol
just keep quiet about it
You tell 'em FastRad!! sm
$78,000 last year. Want to see my 1099's?
love 'em

You tell 'em sister....

Cuz I'm just a grinch and have poverty of the soul because I didn't provide comfort and joy as what some perceive to be what the OP wanted.  Pity party is what she wanted and yes at this point I'm beating a dead horse, which is maybe what I'll call myself now.


As for the OP, I guess he got off her a$$ and finally made that call since according to all of the posters that supposedly support her claim she worked 24 hours in one day to get her lines in.  Now that deserves pity!


I stand by what I say, and I mean what I say.  If the OP wanted pats on the back and awwww so sorry, then so be it.  What I said is true when there's no work I don't sit on my a$$ and wait at all hours of the night and day, I look for another job.  Fortunately, I haven't had to do that.


And yes, NY MT is correct in that everyone wants their cake and eat it too. What took the OP so long to make that call and get those back up accounts?  It took for me to shake her up!  But you all got her back now, so she'll be just fine! 



Tell 'em sister...

if the money in the paycheck is green, it will spend. 


Furthermore, no one knows who off shores or not.  There could be companies that say they do not off shore, but they do.  How would we know?  I say if the pants fit right, keep them on and walk around like you own the place instead of worrying about something that is not in our control.


Furthermore, just because a company advertises no off shore applicants does not necessarily mean they do not off shore.  It just means they also hire US MTs.


Umm... duhh! Of course I have - I'm one of 'em.
What I was taking about is that companies use that as an EXCUSE when they're trying to make their case about offshoring. They claim that all their US MT's are going to up and retire en masse someday, and they'll need to send more and more work offshore.

Just one more strand in their big web of lies.
High five! You tell 'em!
That's just what I was thinking.
Love 'em.
Most are a lot more interesting than your usual hospital reports.  I found there were a smaller group of docs to deal with and can get really familiar with them and not searching to find doc names , new drugs and facilities as much.  They do usually talk fast but that is what my slower control is for;-)
Call 'em!
Never say never. Give the recruiter and a call and follow-up on it. Sounds like you're almost in the door, so don't throw in the towel yet.

Go get 'em, girl!!!
You tell 'em sista...
People want feedback....  Here's your feedback and I heard the same thing as you!  Not worth it! 
Go ahead and warn 'em
but all too many people get carried away and make up all kinds of nonsense.  I have worked for a few companies and do know what is out there.  I have others to compare this company to.  So, that sure isn't the case.  Anyway, its a free board, post away...just warning others to watch out and to form their own opinions.
That's what I did...left 'em off my resume. GL to you.

I'm glad I turned 'em down...
I'm sorry to hear that...last summer, I was in contact with them, they offered me a job and I purchased a pedal from them...something about them just struck me as oogy, though, and I ended up changing my mind and turning them down. So, whew, guess I dodged a bullet.
Never heard of 'em - and I live in SC!
Do they have a website?
Oh, egads, that was stingy of 'em!
That's penny-ante wages!
You should call KS and tell 'em the situation (sm)

Ask to speak to the Director of Ops, KB. 


Hang in there!  To leave no work and come to no work is not good.  Unfortunately, the hospitals and other clients take forever to assign IDs to KS MTs. 


Yikes - with the pay cuts and all? You can have 'em.
nm
try archives, never heard of 'em. nm

Most of 'em won't tell you diddly until you've
up to & including your SS#, which I won't give 'til I've tested & gotten an acceptable offer.
Hahaha! That's too funny! You tell 'em! nm

Go get 'em. I will be rooting for you in absentia. nm
nm
Love 'em! They're my MT home (sm)
for the rest of my career I hope. I've been there 2 years and I cannot say enough good about the owners and the way they run the company. Plenty of work, pay never late, and I have never felt like an anonymous number on an employee roster there. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to e me @ ustshelby@hotmail.com and I'll try to help.
Some love 'em, some don't. DQS software drove me away about 3 mos. ago...nm

Several posts in the last month or so if you do a search. Some like 'em, some don't. nm

Thank you kindly - I'll check 'em out!
:)
I work there and am very happy. Give 'em a try!
Very professional, accommodating, and fair.
did that many many times...still calling, can't stop 'em
no call list is a crock. I have been on it since it was first implemented and as far as I can tell, it has never stopped any body from calling, particularly the automated phone calls.
I have a friend who works for them and she loves 'em. don't know about pay
nm
Doesn't cost anything to report 'em to
 
I'd tell 'em, 'From now on, send me ONE email/day -
And I'd turn off the IM if they abused it like that.
It's starting to feel like MQ there. Can't trust 'em....sm
Although I know people will jump to correct me, many of us have a very hard time getting our hours in. Line counts are down. I worked over 39 hours and 20 minutes last week--all I could scrape together--then got an E-mail from my STM telling me to put in for an hour of PTO since I did not have 40 hrs last week. What vacation you do accrue often goes for making up the hours you can't work because of the lack of work available. They spout off about excellence, commitment, blah, blah, blah, but they are not committed to their employees and outsource work as the not looking good poster said. Unless they are hiring for unusual shifts, I wonder why they are hiring at all. You can easily have 5 accounts and no work. Who knows what they will do next? Pay cuts? That's my bet. They can give us the tough economy talk again to justify it.
I'd tell 'em they could have their foot pedal back
Don't forget, if they can take legal action for return of a little used foot pedal, you most CERTAINLY can take legal action over nonpayment for the lines they gypped you out of.
It is First Choice Medical and they are a great company. Nothing bad to say. Try'em. nm

Great place to work - give 'em a try!
:)
Did find a Wright Watson Sten-Tel in Austin if their site isn't old. Find 'em with Google. nm

It's Monday. Everyone plays catch up on Monday. Give 'em

I doubt you will make enough money in 5 hours a week to make
nm
I doubt it - that would make too much sense.

Doubt that will make a difference, but looks like
lots have quit working.  Ran of work earlier today and there is a TON now.  Looks like someone is trying to get a message across. 
I make 11 cpl with straight typing with MDI, and I doubt Transcend will keep our pay as it is. I am

Quit jumping on people who make that statement. Doubt she is

They should make a forum called sm

FRUGAL LIVING on the company message board so we can all exchange tips on picking through other people's trash, shopping at Salvation Army and navigating the welfare system.


This is absolutely the stingiest company I've ever worked for and I'm done with it.  I'd rather get a job at Target than stay chained to this computer trying to eke out a living with this place.


Don't confuse EHR with EMR
An electronic health record is a record that is electronic and an electronic medical record is one that is generated through a point and click method. Or at least that is what it is called. I call it template record.
Please not confuse TTS with TransTech
TTS in in New Hamsphire, I believe, and Transtech is in Houston, Texas.  I have no info personally about TTS, but TransTech pays their employees on time and treats the employee very very good.  Absolutely, do not confuse the two....nothing can compare to TransTech Medical Solutions in Houston, Texas!
Please be careful and not confuse our monikers!
I've had this one for ages.

Oh, many people often confuse or misspell Acivus.
.
They have called me twice and I have not yet called them back
Per your recommendation, I just might. Thank you.
I called and called and e-mailed my STM. When that got no

results I went over her head.  Got another account, but with 3 accounts still not enough work to get in more than 20 hours/week.  I worked a shift that was part 2nd/part 3rd.  Some days OT was offered, but then there wouldn't be work the next day.
