Spheris - any spheris employees out there care to s/m
comment on the new Cornerstone platform, good, bad? Will we all be going to SR on this? Thanks.
Spheris employees
What kind of insurance premiums could I expect to pay for their insurance? What about deductibles?
Any other bennie info like bonuses and stuff? I see their ad has longevity bonus. What is that?
Thanks.
Any current Spheris employees here?
1. Does Spheris have speech-recognition or editing work?
2. Can you do just SR or is it a mix of MT and SR?
3. Do they pay flat rates for SR (what range, please) or a percentage of your MT?
Thanks
Does Spheris have PT status for employees?
I am FT but want to go PT and keep insurance if that is a possibility. Anyone know?
Any current Spheris employees that can tell me about
their proprietary software and how it is to work with?
Any current Spheris employees that can tell me about...
In response to Dana, my supervisor doesn't answer ANY e-mail I send her so not sure how flexibility would work in that regard. My accounts with SR are absolutely awful; make changes pretty much throughout the entire report. It is nice to hear, though, that someone actually does well with this company. I have tried to find positives and I have yet to find one thing I can say I like about this company. It is a job, though, until I can find better....
Any Spheris employees get paper checks?
Just had my direct deposit changed to a paper check. Since payday is tomorrow, am wondering how long it will take to get my check--I am only two states away from HQ. Thanks!
Any Spheris employees get paper checks
Wow, I was expecting it Monday. That's good to hear!
Any Spheris employees know if you can negotiate for less than 20 hours PT? (sm)
Getting too old to do a fully 60 hours per week and was hoping to find employee status rather than IC to fit the bill here for less than 20 PT hours a week.
Saw the add for the SoCAL account and was intrigued. Used to do a large west coast account, perhaps this one came from MQ to them? Hope, hope,
copied from email sent to current Transcend employees.
It does, however, provide additional opportunities as
we become a larger and more meaningful company. MDI was attracted to Transcend
because Transcend is widely recognized as the best company in the industry. MDI
is also very excited about Transcend’s technology, speech recognition successes,
and broad capacity to deliver services on a large scale.
This is a company big on VR. Hope you like it.
Any Spheris employees notice a drop in PTO time? SM
Before we got 4 PTO hours a paycheck, now is seems to be 3.38. Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks.
To any Spheris employees, I quit in August and would like a copy SM
of my YTD earnings. I have called HR but they never return my call. I forgot how to access the online ADP. Can anyone give me a phone number to call, payroll number or something so I can call and get a copy of my earnings? Thanks.
Would any current or past employees of First Choice Medical please email me...sm
I have been offered a job there and am trying to make a decision. I am curious about the type of accounts they have, the platform they use, whether ShortHand works with it, how much work they actually have, and any other information you would care to share. I know it is always best to hear from current employees to get the real story and would SO much appreciate if someone could help me with my decision. Thank you.
Sure I got the email, I stand corrected. Three titled employees are listed & there is one more
that simply has not been announced yet. I will say again, could be nothing at all, could just be a change of guard. Didn't say whatever was going on was good or bad, but wondered what is going on. I will be the first to say change is often a very, very good thing and I am hoping for good!
Spheris employees are instructed to not post messages on sites like this.
NM
Larry doesn't know if he's coming or going! One day a mass email to employees begging them to
even though no work, and the next day mass email begging people to hire anybody they can scrape up and now accounts out of TAT, etc. Different story every day of the week, and I don't wanna hear about the company perils! Just let me type! No thanks.
Spheris recuriter email address/#?
I am looking for possible employment at Spheris. I went to the website and applied, but it stated that they had my application on file already. I had applied over 2 years ago and never took the position. I would love for someone to help answer a few questions and provide me with some contact information - and I would be happy to provide your name as a referral! Thank you!
They have IM so not sure why such difficulty
getting in touch with someone. During my interviews I was constantly hearing the IM ping and I know several messages were sent back and forth. Maybe there are different e-mail addy for management to communicate.
There is a difficulty premium
rate for jobs that are rated more difficult than others. You get paid more but the difficulty decision is made higher up, you will know before you start that job whether they are higher pay or not. It doesn't sound like we have imput in this process but not sure.
Difficulty with a term
This s/l D-timer and is a test done to r/o pulmonary embolus.
Any help appreciated.
Apparently they did not have any difficulty--sm
getting responses, which the last mentioned was 135. Perhaps you should have applied, just to find out who they are, since you cannot seem to sit still in your undies just wondering about it, or maybe you DID apply and didn't get chosen....sour grapes. sheesh. real mature.
Account difficulty
Agree with you Daphne. Spend lots of time verifying demographics when they DO give you an understandable name but are too lazy to input the number. Do that across little 5 line jobs and see how many THOUSANDS of lines you get. Also, don't forget the percentage of lines deducted for headers that you don't deserve credit for even when you wasted all that time with the demographics. Wow, big time money-maker!
Who figures out the difficulty premium
see in the packet about difficulty premium and pay, but is every single dictator being assessed and listened to somehow and who is determining the difficulty?
Post here from Jan. said start off at 6 cpl & go up to only 9 cpl thru weird tiers of difficulty.

HEAVY ESLs, will not switch accounts if you are having difficulty, and more...sm
Plus you have to pay $25.00 every payday to get your check UPS to you. Now, I never have known UPS to charge $25.00 to mail a letter overnight! They must be making profit off of it. The worst ESLs ever! I have worked for many years as a MT but NEVER had this horrible of ESLs. Not to mention the VERY RUDE QA staff! Supervisors and work flow are nice. I would think twice. But pay was always on time and always correct. You just have to balance out. They used to run out of work too. Don't know if that has changed or not.
They're kind of new. Older posts had people having difficulty with them. nm

Anyone else finding difficulty doing testing with your foot pedal. I am having all kinds of
problems and cant seem to test in Express Scribe with my foot pedal. Am I going to run into this same problem every time I apply somewhere. I cant do the test without a pedal because it is very long with fast dictators. Even to use and keyboard keys is very difficult so I gave us actually.
Oh for sure employees, but not too often for statutory employees. Sorry for confusion.

Attn: Any Transcend employees or former employees
I have been offered a job with Transcend, but I am not completely sure about it yet and I need some input from you guys. I have read positives and negatives regarding this company but alot of it was pretty old information. Can anyone give me some recent feedback on them? Thanks very much!!!
I still feel like a team player of Spheris, as the shackle scars are still on my legs! Spheris was
Micromanaged to the microsecond, or ms! Horrible. And part of a team? Total opposite - part of a team as in prison.
Don't imply you're worried at all. Just stating fact that Spheris does NOT allow a Spheris MT
work concurrently for MQ - no exceptions. MQ, on the other hand, does not have the same feelings as Spheris. Just all I had to say so that MTs aren't misled into thinking they can do the same "legally". Even went to the ropes on this issue with Spheris, as I was professional as well, and wouldn't share info, etc. The point they raised was that MQ is their direct #1 competition, and if I was typing for MQ and doing great work, that was in direct conflict of interest with Spheris' best interests. Guess which one I obviously stuck with!!
Hey OrthoMT.. tried to email you back but the email was returned as undeliverable..
Basically, this is what I'd like to know.. You can email me the information if you like..First off, are they hiring for ortho? and what is their scheduling like, FT or PT, IC status or employee etc. I would like to find a company that is pretty flexible. Also, what platform do they use? I have worked at some like you were saying, took forever to get the line count and I want to work 8 hours and be done. Oh, do you have benefits, and what are they like if you have them? Thanks for any information you can give..
No, but I will email the Moderators as soon as I find the email. You know it's the truth, Becky.

Administrator- could you email me. I never posted that message about Netmed, yet it came to my email
address and I figured it out when someone from Netmed contacted me about my post. Is it possible for someone to steal and use your email address to post things. I thought there was some validation in place.
Thank you, Spheris recruiter! Anybody wanna place a bet that there are lots of Spheris
HELP WANTED ads on the job board?? So funny!! Out of the blue, Spheris, we love you!! Lets all run and apply NOW!!
They have IC and employees, employees get benefits.
Good company. I am very happy there.
Does anyone like it at Precyse? New employees? old employees? nm
nm
I also know Spheris would fire you if they knew you worked for MQ. That is a BIG NO with Spheris!
nm
I am reposting email address, not sure why you cannot email me. nm
nm
They email everyone a copy of the newsletter. Email and ask
and they will email you one if you haven't been receiving it.
tried to email you but your email is invalid
?
Is there an email address I can email them at. nm
:
Why email me? You want people to email you. NM

I tried to email you but it said your email is invalid. Can
you email me please.
My experience with Spheris isn't bad at all. I have been with Spheris sm
6 months and already have 40 hours PTO. I was shocked. Spheris is a great company. After 90 days I did get my sign on bonus and didn't even have to ask. There is soooooooooooooooo much that Spheris offer I wasn't even aware of. I am so glad that I didn't listen to the negative posts on this board in regards to Spheris because I am a happy camper.
The email said the owner as she is the owner of the email software package. sm
We got the list from AHDI. If someone does not wish to be on our email list, there is a link to click on at the bottom of those for opting out. We immediately remove those that click the link.
We also have a few mailling going out. Same thing - if you opt out of the email program, we will remove you from all contact.
We need transcriptionists for many new accounts and have ads on here and other sites, as well as several magazines. We are going to need over 100 MTs in the next 3 months due to new accounts and more work on existing accounts!
which employees are getting this and how much.
I havent heard a work about any incentives.
MQ employees
Quoted: Remember employee = real benefits, not this 3 days a year PTO and insurance that is laughable. Also you must provide the equipment, the internet, and pay for downtime such as weather. A supervisor to authorize your stupid OT
PTO can be up to 18 days per year. As a FTE, I was given a week of vacation PTO and holidays. The insurance is not laughable. Compared to many companies out there, it falls right in the middle somewhere. Who pays you because it snows? (or rains, etc)? I know in our region, many MTs were affected by the hurricanes and received some compensation. And where have you worked that you do not have to have OT APPROVED??
I still think so many of you are so accustomed to be picky that the reality of "real job" is going to scare you off.
Certain new employees get PTO right away but other new
employees have to wait a YEAR? Isn't that a little unfair and discriminatory???
And since when is $12-15 an hour considered GOOD in this profession?
Is this thread real? April Fool's Day isn't for another 4-1/2 months! 
How to keep employees
Every single MT company is full of BS these days. They turn our homes into sweat shops, they cut our pay. They have no consideration for our feelings. MTs are job hopping just looking for a decent deal.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a company with high standards. A company who gave so much in the way of decent treatment, time off, flexibility, civilized treatment, appreciation and good pay, and I mean very good pay. Can you imagine what it would be like to have every MT in this godforsaken lousy business clamoring for a job with your company? All you have to do is be FAIR, pay decent WAGES, treat people like HUMANS instead of machines. You would never be posting a help wanted ad.
Man, I wish I could do it myself. I would have the best, brightest MTs out there becasue I would attract and draw them to my wonderful company instead of nickle and diming them to DEATH.
Why don't you want to know what former employees have to say about OSI?
I think they would serve you better on what you want to know. I worked for them for four years. The first couple of years were okay, not many problems to speak of, then it all went down hill from there. The higher-ups started to get nasty to the transcriptionists, they starting changing accounts around, loosing accounts....it really got bad. I think they have a revolving door on their main office, so many people come and go. I would do my research before I jumped the gun with OSI.
