Anyone hear anything about Integrity?

Has anyone heard anything about a company named Integrity? I started there on May 12, 2008 and now have no work coming in. I am afraid this is a set up where they steal your money after working.

Thanks!

I am currently employed with Integrity.  This is a great company to work for.  I have been employed with Integrity for over a year now and I love the work.  There is plenty to go around for everyone.  The Emdat program is not that bad to work with.  I find it slow at times but it is usable.  I have worked with better programs, but it is tolerable.  Pay is by direct deposit on the 1st and 15th of each month and my pay has always been deposited on time.  Hope this helps.  If you have any other questions feel free to ask.  You can email me.  TY.
Integrity LLC
I just wanted to help try and answer any questions that anyone may have on Integrity LLC.  I have worked for them since they started and have not worked for a better company.  They do work with EMDAT and know some people don't care for it but I have found that it is alot more user friendly than some I have used.  There is plenty of work to go around and looking for great MT's that will as loyal to the company as the company is to their MT's.  I can not say enough good things about them.  Pay is the 15th and the 30th and always on time.  Getting new and bigger accounts all the time.  I have worked for some of the larger companies and I have found that this is more like a family than just being a number.  If you have any questions at all please feel free to email me and I will try and answer any questions you have.  This is the cream of crop MT's and couldn't ask for anything better.   
Integrity
I was offered to take this test from them.  God, tell you if that is a sample of what their files sound like, do not want any part of them!  I could not find anything on them here or in archives, either!  The test is about 10 minutes long, too long for me to spend on that one anyway!

Nicole is a great boss. Pay is always on time, however, you have to wait about a month for your first pay. Pay is kind of low... highest account is 8 cpl, rest are 7 or 7.5. Emdat platform.

Anybody work for Integrity? Good? Bad?


Thanks


Integrity
She is great to work for, not so great on the pay 7 cpl to a tops of 8 depending on account.  Have to wait a month for your first pay.  Emdat platform.

If you are referring to the Integrity Service out of Florida, you need to speak to the owner.  There is always plenty of work on one of the many accounts.  I work part time for her and have done so for the past two years.  I have had no problem with work or getting paid.  Sorry that you are having a difficult time.  Hope this helps.

I am a former mentor of Allstate. *** (Owner) owes me almost $1000 (this is for 2-1/2 months work) When I gave my notice, my accounts were locked immediately and I was unable to get my line counts to send invoices. In fact, I couldn't even edit my interns documents. When decided not to give a 2 week notice since I was told I would be put on probation if I stayed and I could not afford to work for free any longer, I was told that I forfeited all of my earnings because I signed an IC contract.  Since April, I have made a total of 78.00 working there.


 


If you are an experienced MT, stay far away and go to a hospital which is where I previously worked. I regret my decision to leave the hospital (due to health issues) because I was always treated fairly and paid well and on time bi-weekly, with benefits.


 


If you are a recent MT graduate thinking about paying 99.00 to sign up for the intern program, that is a big mistake, there are other intern programs where you can find a job without you paying them (and sometimes even get a salary to boot, even though it is lower than a seasoned MT). My point is, there are many good opportunities out there and this is DEFINITELY not one of them.


 


I am posting this because I am a genuinely honest (and yes Christian) person and I should have known better, especially when I was not even tested. I don't want others to be cheated by this so called Christian organization.  If you ever get paid, it will take 2 or 3 months for one month pay and if you decide you can't afford to work there and quit, you forfeit all of your earnings and do not get paid period.


 


PLEASE BE CAREFUL!


If they do not have the integrity to stand up and say they have
enough staff, then I have lost all respect I had for any of them. Most of them have no ability anyway, so when they lose those jobs, they will be on the welfare lines.
Obviously I have more integrity than you do. Argue with yourself.
Good bye. You are a joke.
Integrity, any info on them? nm
Thanks!

Anyone else work or has worked for Integrity Transcription in Venice, Florida?  Do they pay on time?  How are the dictators and the owner? 


TIA


Integrity Transcription LLC, can anyone tell me....
about working for this company, have several concrete offers on the table, been doing searches, having problems finding information - is this a smaller company with a good MTSO?  I know they use emDat, is it hard to learn (I have almost 20 years on various others).  Any info SOOO appreciated!

Anyone work for Integrity? Pros/Cons?
Integrity in transcription
You know why I won't just find another job (THIS TIME)? Because I've 'found another job' three times in the past two years now.

The first time, it was because all of my accounts were offshored to India.

The second time, it was because our line rates changed detrimentally, in the form of some REALLY sneaky line accounting and then eventually a move to not paying for templates, headers, or footers - even though the line rate that I had accepted with said company was based on the fact that they paid for these things (7.5 cpl BECAUSE of that, when I'd had a 8.5 cpl offer come in at the same time for a company who did NOT pay those things).

The third time, I left because I found out that the company I was working for was surreptitiously offshoring their work when they claimed to be 100% AMERICAN. And then I was asked to QA (for 3.5 cpl) the HORRIFIC work that the Indians had done.

How many times do I have to 'just find another job' because every single stinking company is backhanded and sneaky and doesn't hold up their end of the bargain and shafts the transcriptionists at every turn?

If you're okay with breaking the law (which I will address in another post), then that's on you.

I am not. And I am not interested in being complicit in someone else breaking the law. And, furthermore, I would prefer to pave the way for transcriptionists EVERYWHERE to not be taken advantage of. My measly 9 cpl that I make as an IC (and pay my OWN taxes, which makes it equal out to, yes, 7.5 cpl) is worth kissing goodbye for this.

I am unafraid.

Moreover, I am ready to give up transcription for good.

I've been witness to years and years of whining and moaning on this forum (and others) about how poorly we're all treated.

I am going to do something about it, even if it means sacrificing my job.

Eff. It's time someone actually did.
MDI = Mutation of D's Integrity
 
Honesty, Loyalty, and Integrity! sm
A company that will be honest, no matter what the cost. Integrity to keep our records and work in the USA. Loyalty to your entire staff, let them know how important they are to the company, as well as loyalty to your clients. Keep your TATs and promises to your clients. Keep your promises to your MTs.

A decent line rate such as 10 cpl or above and flexibility!

Hope that helps!
Integrity Transcription Company

In reply to your question regarding Integrity.  It has to one of the greatest companies out there.  The owners are wonderful, honest and ahead of the rest.  I have worked for alot of companies and this has got to be the best one out there by far.  Pay is always on time, steady work, loyal and just all around great people.  If you have the chance I would suggest this company above all others before they are full....  Integrity, they stand by their name.  If you have any questions please let me know.  I'd be happy to answer any questions in regards to this company.  I've never been so happy.   Thanks!!


Integrity Transcription Services, LLC
Does anyone have any information on Integrity Transcription Services, LLC?  Thanks in advance.
Integrity Transcription Services

Out of Louisiana .... Looking for any information, pay, type of platform, pay on time, DD, etc.   I have applied, they have sent the tests and I have asked them now 3 times what is the starting pay for someone with over 20 years experience and have not received a response yet.  Just curious ...


TIA


Her soul, her integrity, her patriotism...
Yeah, actually she sold out kinda cheap, huh?

Or perhaps that really is all she was worth as a human being.

I'd rather exist on my salary than sell my soul (and the souls of 400+ others) to the devil for $16 million.

It's gonna be hot down there, D...better dress lightly :-)
Integrity Transcription Services, any one know anything about this company?
Good or Bad
Warning: Integrity Transcription Services
Integrity Transcription Services, LLC (www.itsintegrity.com) in Venice, FL, consistently pays late and might possibly be a nonpayer (still owes me money). Most e-mails and all IMs concerning past due checks were ignored by the owner. Stay away if you want to get paid on time.
Anyone that applied with Kathy Kirby hear anything yet? I am wondering how long it takes to hear a
response back
AAMT has a new name: Association for Integrity of Healthcare Documentation.

Medical Transcription has been voted out of their title. 


I said MAY NOT hear, didn't say you wouldn't hear. There is
a difference, and many people have said they knew they didn't do well on the tests, but still feel like they should have heard from companies and haven't. 
Hear, hear! (Or is it 'here, here?') LOL

Thanks! I'm glad to hear that, I didn't think anyone used it anymore! I'm glad to hear so
I'll definitely check them out!
Hear, hear! Read My Opinion's opinion.
Regarding Wondering's question, the company I work for is investing strongly in upgrading its MTs' and editors' skill levels (exactly what this says about need for us for ten years down the road I can't say). This morning I found an e-mail saying they would pay every one of us to attend an on-line class on making Expander macros to increase our productivity. Amazingly, I have to assume many employees were choosing not to attend the unpaid ones they had been offering...
I hear you.

And it ticks me off that they refer to these people as "medical editors."  If these people are medical editors, where are DC notes sent now, to GOD?


Just seems to me they're trying to reel people in by pumping up their egos, offering them jobs as "medical editors," when in fact they probably wouldn't qualify for job as a legitimate medical Editor with any other company.


Lofty titles don't mean much if your wallet is empty.


 


Would like to hear from other ST L MTs...

Hi, would love to network with St Louis MTs... I'm about an hour south... would love to work directly for the hospital, tired of services!!!


suz


I hear you there.
That's also the ONLY reason I stuck with them. I have kids at home, at college and a husband who travels and makes a hell of a lot more than I do. Guess whose schedule is always getting stepped on through no fault of my own....that's right mine. And once I go live on DEP where they can track my every move I don't want to spend every day avoiding my phone. And I NEVER received any questionaire from them asking what my needs were. And I answered the phone and it was just to tell me the packet was in the mail.e
From what I hear about OSi
it is the same as always, amazingly unqualified people in charge but if you don't mind that and the fact they send jobs overseas while some MTs sit here twiddling their thumbs go for it.
Because you will never hear the same
If you can't learn their voices and genuflections, how can you build up speed?
Since when? From what I hear,
...
I hear you!
I can't seem to make any money on this platform and I've been here almost 1 year! The dictators are horrible -99% ESL.
Where did you hear about them? nm
nm
you might not want to hear this, but

Let me first say that I believe that there is a reason for people phrasing things a certain way and not getting into the specifics...... probably because it would take entirely too long to do!!! For instance, when I first read the part about does Spheris offer a computer, before I even read the response, the FIRST THING that entered my mind was Yep, and heartache too! only to open up the thread and see it there!! How funny!!


I would be glad to tell you at least a couple of reasons why I encountered heartache. And please, I know that there are some that are reading this that work for the company and if you have not had the experience I had, please do not insult me nor my intelligence by making idiotic comments that have nothing to do with my individual experience, which you most certainly would not know about unless you HAPPEN TO BE me!


Anyhow, I worked for Spheris for aprx three weeks. During that time, I was informed, only after I had accepted the job, mind you, that if my QA was not 98% in ( I believe) five days, that I would be fired. Now, mind you, I am an experienced transcriptionist, but when you have had several jobs that teach and do things differently, it is kind of hard to try to reprogram your mind in five days! By the fourth day I was stressed out and making more mistakes than I ordinarily would have. However, I did make the 98%. Well, after that, I was finding that I was ALWAYS short of work and on Mondays, I was lucky if I got one note at all. Yes, paycheck was horrible. Well, the last straw for me was when they magically decided to trim down the pay for everyone on that specific account. Not sure if it was across the whole company board or not. I finally had had enough harrassment, lies, and disappointment, and it only took me three weeks to get there!


Anyhow, I say that to say this. All of us are  grown. We know what you need and what we don't, what we can handle, and what we can't. Ultimately, we have to make the decision and live with it. I wish all who happen to work there all the best, and hopefully things are different now.


Be Blessed!!!


I hear you...and ...
it is not just in our field it's our clothes, our cars, our applicances, just about everything.  Look at the tag on a garmet or picture frame, or stuffed animal you have.  What does it say?....this is horrific for the future of this country!!
I hear ya.
I worked for them last year on radiology account. Pay is very slow....never know when you will get a check. I had to call twice for W2 this year. Quit last christmas because check should have received prior to Thanksgiving was mailed after Thanksgiving, no phone call, no email, nothing just mail checks out late. Require high degree of accuracy from MTs, but office people, that is another matter.
Sorry to hear about that.
How long have you had the computer?  Is there any way you can bring it back and at least get part of your money back?  Wow.  Sorry to hear about what happened.
Where did you hear about this?
I work for Amphion and haven't heard anything about it???? Are they telling you this or did you find out some other way? Just curious as to what the plans are. I've only been there 1-1/2 months but have been pretty happy and satisfied so far.....
I hear ya! I am right here with you. sm
Melissa is my manager too. They could have let us know a long time ago. They knew... what about the 4-6 months they were 'investigating options'... they didn't have the balls to tell us then that we should start looking? Such crap! I'll work with you to do anything we can to get them off the map. We should email the clients!!
I hear ya! -
Been at TL, then MQ for 15 years. That makes it tough. But with the changes, this is definitely not going to work out long term. Good luck to you!
Any one hear of CMT?

Anyone ever hear of CMT.  I think they are in 813 area code somewhere.  Thanks.


Hear anything yet?
I was considering applying for part time work as well.  Have you heard anything yet?
How do you hear anything there? sm
I've been there nearly a year and hear absolutely nothing from anyone! No communication whatsoever. At first it was strange as I came from a company who emailed us multiple times daily, switching to nothing. Now I'm kind of used to it I guess. I do wonder how anyone knows anything there as there are no emails!??
Hear hear! (sm)

Actually would like to hear from

on how it is to work for Precyse at this time.  Thanks!


You are better off when you hear
are receiving the pay on time.  That's all that really matters.  If you are hearing negatives then you need more training.  If all is quiet then usually all is well.  As for the coffee mug... well... I'm at a loss for words.   I don't need a coffee mug to fill me.  More money would be great but there's always someone out there who will work for cheaper in any industry not just this one.  Maybe you shoud go into journalism.  However, when you write a book, usually you'll need an Editor and from what I understand they are brash as well.  Find new clients/jobs because dwelling and writing stories like this will not gain you the attention you obviously require.  JMO.  Good luck in your endeavors.
