Has Ascend paying on time improved?
I see Ascend is needed radiology Transcriptionist and I just want to know if things are changed since the archives I have read.
Question - have I not been paying attention or are there a lot of new companies advertising. (sm)
I think a lot of the older smaller companies were eaten up by the giants and maybe some new ones are starting.  Were these companies out there before and I just didn't notice? 
Nope, didnt forget - the went grated my nerves, the other didnt
so i didnt mention it
Company is not Ascend, but Ascend is
famous for not paying on time. 
It has been resolved for me
as of Monday at 3:30 PM Pacific Time.  The company, in my opinion, handled this situation in a very professional, honest, forthcoming, and timely manner. 
hopefully you will get this resolved
As tired as you believe you are with your involvement with LM, there are readers (like me) who are tired of reading about it. Like someone said a couple of months ago, put on some big girl panties and deal with it! Some things in life are worth fighting over. I just would not include a foot pedal and fob return in that category.
All pay issues have been resolved at TTS

and have never had a single problem.  My first paycheck even got direct deposited.  They are wonderful to work for and have a ton of work!  I say go for it!!


Hopefully it will all be resolved tomorrow and
it won't happen again.  Something still doesn't seem right though. 
Problem resolved
Just wanted everyone to know that as of today, things are being taken care of. I will admit I was worried when this happened, as I have been burned before, but this company was definitely professional in the matter, and I will continue to be a loyal employee as long as they are happy with me.
Issue resolved here, too!!

Issue resolved here, too as of 2:30 p.m.  I really never had any doubts to begin with as pay has never been late. 


They are the most professional group of people I have ever worked with in 20+ years. 


It really irritates me that people have to come to a public forum and tell ALL to people who really have nothing to do with the issue.  If you have issues, go to management.  Maybe it's the people who have to run their mouths (fingers) to every MT in the country that haven't gotten their checks yet. 


Boy, things sure do come back to bite sometimes, don't they?


Similar situation resolved
I had a problem last paycheck (not with insurance), called payroll right away and problem was resolved immediately. Call or e-mail first thing on Monday, don't think there is anyone there on weekends.
It still hasn't been resolved for everyone. I'm still in limbo. I'm going

to give it until tomorrow. 


Let us know when the line counting issue is resolved...sm
as in being able to view line counts live as you type, and then I would like to apply to the company.  Seriously, I think it sounds like a great place to work, but no one should ever work for a company where you cannot view your production in live time.  But, if they get that all straightened around, I will be sending in my resume.  Keep us updated.  TIA
Has TransTech's line counting issue been resolved yet?
But I remember this was a big issue a while back.  Any info appreciated. 
I do at webmedx now that the platform slowness issues are resolved. nm
.
Problem resolved. Was a post office issue apparently. nm

When I am renting, I am PAYING; when I'm working, THEY are paying ME. sm
Seems I should be running a credit check on the potential employer to see if THEY are responsible with their money, not the other way around.
Ascend
Stay far away.
I believe that was Ascend who had that ad going. nm

Ascend
Yea but Jay is really bad about this.  He's got a bad reputation.  I feel for your friend.
Ascend
Was your friend an IC or employee? If IC, wage an hour won't help.
Ascend
Does anyone working for Ascend have any info on them?  Thanks a lot.
Ascend
I would appreciate information about Ascend.  Thank you.
Ascend
Has Ascend management improved?
Ascend
I worked for them several years ago.  The problem I had with them was bounced and late paychecks.  Last I heard, this was still a recurring issue with them.  Unless something has changed as of recent, it is a foreign-owned company as well.
Ascend anyone?
ANY information would be great before I apply. I saw some bad posts a while back, but has this cleared up or are they still foreign-owned and bouncing checks?
Ascend
So Ascend paids on time now?
Ascend
Any new information on Ascend?  Are they still having the same problems I've seen in the archives regarding pay issues?  Thinking about applying.  TIA.
Ascend
I just accepted an offer with Ascend today!!! Do they pay or not???
Ascend
I worked for them through last year as MT/Editor. Made $0.10 for STAT and $0.06 for editing. Pay on time, enough work but some tough accounts. I left because of family problems. No major problems.
Anyone here work for Ascend?
I know they outsource, have done a search and read the info there, but what's the scoop NOW? Thanks!
Ascend info

I need to the real specifics on this company before I accept their offer.  The pay they are stating is within reason.  Does their accounts consist of ESL doctors?  Does any of their paychecks bounce?  Please help, thanks.  Good bless the hurricane victims.


Can't swear but think she is with Ascend.

Ascend feedback
Does anyone work for Ascend?  Love it?  Dislike it?
Ascend Company
Has anyone worked for the Ascend Company or know anything about them?
Ascend Payment
I am working for Ascend now for three uears. They have a policy of each 15 day pay period paid 15 days after the period is closed. If the disbursement date is on week end it will get delayed. I never had an issue and I average about $0.12 per line.

There are folks who do not complete their paperwork or do not submit their production data on time do get their pay delayed.

Ascend also gave me a loan last year and subtracted agreed upon installment from my earned wages.

I like working for them. Plenty of work, good pay.
Like Ascend. There is an off-shore
connection and the owner is ESL. 
ASCEND HEALTHCARE
They pay 6 cents per line. I am training there in QA, but there are a lot of administrative details...

What happened to Ascend post?
I was watching a post from last week about Ascend, but now it's gone.......
Ascend is not the company being discussed

Any current ASCEND employees?
I would like to hear from any current Ascend employee.  How is the work and are they truly paying on time?  Do they have direct deposit?  Thanks!
My understanding is that Ascend is making efforts
to pay those who have not received a check as yet.  If you have questions, please feel free to email me as I have been working with the owner regarding non payment issues.  Thanks, Administrator.
Ascend Healthcare info and suggestions

Any info out there on Ascend Healthcare? Any suggestions on a great company to work for when one is just looking for part-time IC status employment?


Ascend - Forwarn - Do Not Work for this Company

I have worked for several medical transcription companies over the years and have found Ascend Healthcare to be the worst company, by far, to work for.


A very-very negative atmosphere . .


No direct deposit available. .


Constant idol threats . .


Holds checks for 2 weeks after each pay period ends.


A lot of heavy ESL . . and very hard dictators.


Management - Backstabbers


Penalties are sometimes assessed for errors; docking $ money from paycheck


The list goes on and on . . . .


Sorry that didnt work

Their PTO is good.  Lots of ESL's.  I wasn't there long enough to see about a raise, but something after 120 days they were supposed to evaluate you for it.  They always pay on time.  Platform is very easy to learn. 


I don't know about their line counting system.  I don't trust it only because several times when I would send a job I would keep getting it back several times already typed by myself.  I even got a report that was already fully typed from another person, I didn't take credit for it. Trust me, they wouldn't break or abandon a report that long it had no blanks and 1 QA marker.  I didn't think it was right. I asked the WFC and she said to abandon it.  I got that typed report back every time I would finish a job that day. So I dont know how often that happens, but I didn't like it.


Not trying to bad talk the place, everyone was very nice, nice doesn't cut it..when it comes to work, don't expect any, and don't expect anyone to get back to you about a second acount, plan on working all weekend every weekend. 


I don't know about everyone else, but when I pick a schedule, I pick it for a reason, to work it.. not to work every day and every time but that. I don't mind it here and there, but it was EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND.  Sayin how they are tired of always having the same people being team players.


They require one weekend day a week.  I wasn't able to work any other time really than the schedule I picked


Anyways.. I worked 5 hour days there and I ended up with no more than 200 lines a day.



Might be different for you, but I'm just giving you my experience.


Check out page 2 or 3 on the company board there is more talk about them there.
