My co also pays 1st and 15th or is supposed to but nothing about 4th and 20th so must sm
not be the same company. So there are more than one out there who should not be in business obviously!
I would be ecstatic if that was the case at CardioScribes -- the 5th and the 20th would be


Pay period ends on 15th, checks on the 20th. This
is pretty standard industry-wide. 
TT pay dates?
Could someone tell me how TT pays? Is it every other Friday or certain days of the month? Thanks!
TT pay dates
I just started there 2 weeks ago, but from what I understand it is every other Monday.
...and when are their pay dates?nm

Webmedx pay dates
For these types of questions, please contact the Webmedx Payroll department- they will be happy to clarify this for you!
TransTech's pay dates please
THANKS
Dates for new TT accounts
This is about the new account:

We did just bring on a new account called *** doing their consults and will be bringing additional work types on Monday, November 5 and then again on Monday, November 26. This account is very large and will require additional staffing.
When are WebMedx's pay dates?nm

Question re pay dates for Webmedx. sm

I have the list that says nonexempt and exempt.  Nonexempt is employee, correct?  or do I have that backwards? 


Also, as an example, it says this pay period for nonexempt runs 03/27 to 04/09, with pay date on 04/17.  Pay days are really Monday?  Are the ever there early, maybe Friday or Saturday? 


Thanks! 


There is no industry standard for pay dates.

There is no one mandating pay dates, but typically
pay periods run from the 1st to the 15th and from the 16th to the last day of the month.  Actual pay dates vary, but the 20th and the 5th are pretty common.  The majority of companies follow this pay period, some pay every 2 weeks, a very few pay weekly and a very few pay monthly, but the majority pay as I stated. 
I wish they would remember our anniversary dates with
I know. Never happen.
Paydays are 8th and 23rd. Mine are usually DD's the day before these dates. nm

check the dates and look again, count tons from one
company as well....no better just different and those companies are here too!! what the hay, eh????

I have no problem with the main job board mtjobs.com

Employee dates did not change; ICs are paid on 2nd and 16th now because
they are not supposed to be paid the same as employees. Were you an IC?
Went to the website, too. Just curious as I noticed the old copy dates, too. nm

I tested last year. The dates of dictation were from months before, so I don't think there's a

It sounds like w/11 line, and the bonus AND the current dates....
you were being used for their transcripition. How sad our industry is coming to that. To use people who need the money for free. I was in your position and got evicted, had to live with my daughter, lost my car, and was in a depression for 6 months and didn't even know it. I thought I was just shocked. This was with a company who changed the platform (for the worst) and my paycheck was cut in half, but not my bills. They didn't even have the courtesy to tell me this was going to happen, they thought we would quit, so I know what you are going through. Just keep working your other jobs, don't lose confidence (I know I did). It is difficult out there right now with so many transcriptionists out of work. Just don't PANIC (hard not to do in desparate situations). What jerks!
A company is ONLY supposed to verify that someone worked there, what dates they worked, whether PT o
and last date worked. It opens everyone up to a lawsuit if more is given, so most companies are told by their attorneys and business advisors to verify only.

No one has a right to a reference, only verification of employment.
TransTech and Medware, are these companies considered large, medium-sized or small companies? (sm)
TIA
Yikes.. That is only inline with companies like Focus and such. "Real" companies pay their MTs
decent rate.  I make over 5 cpl editing. So, if I got that slap in the face, I'd be outta there.
Do the research...most companies, and not just MT companies, do not pay for maternity leave...
we get time off but not paid...and I really don't even understand the point of you posting this...
How do you know which companies are Nationals and which are smaller companies.
Is there a list somewhere? I'm new to this.
By "most of the companies", I meant MORE than MT companies.
clarification
Sten-Tel is the platform. Different companies use it, pay and how companies run are different. nm
:P
Nobody said MT companies were not for profit companies. (sm)....
As MTs we are an important segment of what it takes for the company to thrive, but we are still just part of the whole structure.

Not trying to be argumentative, just think sometimes we get that "I'm the quarterback" attitude and forget that we can't get anywhere without our line men.
Companies that outsource to other companies?
Anyone know of any reliable companies that will outsource to American companies and pay a decent line rate? I am amazed at what the companies charge and then want to offer in this business anymore.


2 companies with that name. Was this the NJ job? nm
.
I have been through a lot of companies and
they are all the same.  I just found that out not too long ago.  I am with a company now that everyone cheers about.  They are just the same as everyone else.  Nothing to cheer about IMO.  This business has gone downhill fast.  Sad.
What companies, if any,
. . .

. . . hire and actually promote professionals who have forgotten more than many MTs know, have years and years of experience, work when needed, don't rock the boat, and produce excellent work?  At my company, the editors and managers usually have just a few years of experience as an MT, if any, and many have no management experience.  Some managers have never even seen a typed document.  That doesn't make sense.  What companies give one a chance to actually grow with them?  Any of them?  How do the promotions go to those who took an on-line class and have been an MT for 2 years?  Kudos to anyone who could answer this . . . Bewildered 


He said that some companies do that, but
usually when they do there is a reason for it, so told me to keep an eye out for future class action lawsuits or that sometimes they use it as a means to withhold severance pay, etc.  IMO - basically it's a CYA letter.  Atty agreed.  But again, IMO, why be worried about a CYA letter if you have nothing to CYA for?  Any company that wants ex-employees to sign a release from future lawsuits is definitely not up for nomination for Employer of the Year, that's for sure and just one more bit of proof that it isn't the MLSs at fault.   I'm not concerned about it, but I'm sure as heck not signing it either.  I just think it's hilarious that a few Transcend groupies come out of the woodwork ready to blame the MLSs that left as if they weren't the GOOD transcriptionists and that's why they left.  Seems to me if they weren't any good they wouldn't be able to get hired anywhere and so would want to stay put where they know they have a sure thing.
Some Companies...
Charge you per report for their useless template. What a rip off...
QA Companies
Anyone who works as a QA; I am curious as to what you think of the company you work for?  Good or bad.  Looking for a new QA position and would like some information on the companies.  Thanks.
Here are some companies
First Choice Medical
QT Medical
JLG - some accounts still on WP.
TeleType

That is all I know of right now.

Good luck.
Some Companies Pay Less
Some companies, especially small ones, lure you in by starting you at less and tell you that once you're off probation in a couple of weeks your line rate will be raised a couple of cents.  Months later, despite quality work and that pitch-in attitude during backlog periods, you're still making 6 cents a line.  A lot of good begging does....What a joke these companies are...........
Any companies out there?

with:


1.  ENT, cardiology, family practice or internal medicine work.


2.  Require a minimum line count of 500 lines a day with the option to do more.


3.  Word based with a 24-hour TAT and have direct deposit with assigned docs/accounts?


Are there any companies out there using DQS except MQ? (sm)
If I were going to try to work 2 companies at the same time until I could decide I thought it would be easier if they used the same program.  This old dog is getting too old to learn too many new tricks at once. 
That would be companies. If you
want to make it in this biz, you have to learn to spell!
Are any companies besides MQ using VR right
x
Not sure of any companies (sm)
I've worked on it for hospitals.  I am not aware of any MTSO's that use it.
companies
Diskriter has some ChartScript accounts.  A lot of hospitals use ChartScript also.  I used it with my in-house job.  Very productive platform. 
None of the companies do! That's the name of the
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
There are probably less than 5 companies
(and that is probably stretching it) that don't offshore.  I've interviewed with probably 8 companies the last 6 months, all either offshored or had less to offer me than QT.   I immediately turned down all the companies that offshored (that I knew did anyway) and all the others I turned down because it would have been a significant cut in pay.   We have a no frills lifestyle as it is so there isn't room to take a cut in pay. 
With all the companies looking for MTs
I don't understand why you are thinking unemployment.   I think you have to be unemployed xx days before you are eligible anyway.  
Which companies use - sm
ftp sites?
Thanks!
Not all companies
are like that.  That is unreasonable.  We do not expect that of our employees.  If you work both Sat and Sun you have 2 days off during the week. 
MT companies, do any of you......

have MT work available that does not entail heavy ESL dictators, like every single report?  I cannot make an adequate living on those types of dictators day after day into the night, and sometimes even into the next day.  I have 5 years experience with a lot of experience.


Just trying to understand what they want put down as far as their dictations is very, very tough, and I am losing my health as a result of having to kill my ears, straining to hear them, and trying to understand what they are saying at all.  I have no problem with some ESL, but I am having a very tough time with every single report being dicated this way by ESLs.


If you have a low ESL ratio, would you please contact me?  


I desperately need work.  I am an excellent worker, and have no money for my bills. 


I would really appreciate hearing from you.  Thanks.
