I know confidential and this is not it. sm
It is MY information.  That is like telling me I cannot tell someone what hair color I have.  It is MY info, garnered from MY hard work.  The money now belongs to me, not the company.  If you still have a problem with this, then tell someone what you made last month.  That would be YOUR old information, had been your information for a month and should be YOUR information to do with whatever you want.
Its not so much confidential as none of your
business!! I hate it when people have the hutzpah to ask flat out what someone makes. If they want to volunteer it, fine. But its rude to just ask someone. And if they give you a figure, chances are huge that its bogus. Ask for a pay range - fine. Proper business etiquette. Buts its totally ignorant to just ask someone what they make - a complete stranger - and then get pissed when they POLITELY tell you they don't wanna give you that info. Get professional! You might make more $$.

confidential from yourself??...nm

It is confidential information - here is why.
Not every MT has the same experience level so, those with more experience are paid a better line rate in most instances. It is the MT's responsibility to negotiate or at least try to negotiate their line rate and what line rate they are willing to work for. Not company pays a base rate to every MT or QA person.

This of course is my opinion and the way I do business. Some may agree, some may not, it really doesn't matter. This is the way it is!

Payroll information is confidential information in my book.
I agree. confidential..sm
insider info...look what happened to Martha Stewart with her insider info. keep quiet. let the cards fall where they may. JMO
Pay NOT confidential. My pay, if I want to talk

Confidential to Catherine K.

My e-mail program crashed and I lost your e-mail address but I remembered your name.  The supervisor position has been filled.  Thank you for your inquiry.

Confidential to MTSO2
With all due respect.........where will YOU be working when all the jobs are gone???  Do you REALLY think the clients will continue to need a middleman???  I think not.  Pity the poor souls who work for you.
Confidential to Paula
I was laid off from Focus QA about a year ago.  However, they have reorganized and rehired me recently.  The money is great and is much more than the hourly job I used to have.  Yes, they do have day shift.  They will pretty much work with whatever hours you can work.  The team leads are Americans now.  Good luck.
It is not confidential information. This was told to you by someone -
in my opinion, you are not breaking confidentiality in any way letting fellow MTs know. It does not say in this post that you work for this small national or you work where the account is supposed to be going. So, if this is true, you are not breaking any confidentiality agreements.

Companies release and gain contracts all the time. Maybe this small national will lose one account but gain another. It happens every day.

I don't think there is any reason for panic or for you to carry a heavy heart, unless you work for one of these 2 companies. Then, you may need to think twice about saying a word.

If you do talk - do not mention names and do not mention the other company.

Again, good luck with whatever you decide.

Confidential? Interesting word to use on this board.
I didn't see anyone's name, nor did I see any specific examples given. This person has the same rights to say what they think or feel, just as an MT does.
What info is in that email that is confidential or private?

Why is pay rate confidential? It is YOUR money that YOU made with YOUR hard work. You should be
:+
In my opinion what you make is confidential and I have seen people get fired for discussing rates.
That all goes along in confidentiality agreements. I am in agreement with you though..it really is not anyone's business. If they want to know, they need to ask the company. The company will probably tell them.

May not be confidential information but gossip/rumor at this point and no employer likes that.

If you'll read through past posts you'll find lots of
recent info.  Why do you need menitoring if you already work as an MT.  Unless you do clinic work most companies will require you to work at least one weekend day, at least initially. 
If you'll read the archives you'll find out everything
you want to know, none of it good.
Probably figure you'll want Way more than they'll offer, whatever it might be. :) nm

If you'll read more carefully you'll see
I was referring to AFTER she's missed out on a job, having a friend do sort of an audit to tell her what what was wrong with her test she submitted -- not cheating.
How can a message be confidential if it posted on a public message board? nm

If you don't know what is confidential, you have no business being in any business.
This is confidential information and should not be divulged. It is one of the biggest problems a co can have. If you have to ask...well I won't be able to explain it to you
I'll take that hat!
Take ur hat off to me cuz I work at MedQuist, have plenty of work and make a lot of money - and they do leave me alone which is kewl. Been with 'em for 8 years too!
hey, it's ya'll

Yu'll
No, no, no, it's Yu'll for "you will"
I think you'll like VR
I work for MDI on the eScription VR platform, good accounts, good pay, and I need team mates to help with the backlog of work (I'm on 2nd shift). I highly recommend it. I have been on VR for 3 years and have found it more profitable than straight transcription, and much easier on the wrists/hands.
now I'll be looking for one
because I think the hours thing (except so they have an idea of when you work to regulate work flow) is bull.
I'll try.. sm
I am happy at OSi. I've been with them for two years now. I've been doing well with them. My main account was a little low on work over the summer, but is back to being pretty busy. Even when it was low, I had my backups. I've been there long enough and have worked on enough accounts that I can grab backup work from several different accounts but usually don't need it. We use the Extext platform and I love it. The best part of it is being able to pull up samples, past reports, etc. That is what helped me move into being able to do op notes which I hadn't done before but now do plenty of. On my main account, I barely have any ESL and the few I do are very easy. I've worked on VA and there are a few more ESL on those, but only a few were very difficult. To compensate, you are allowed a couple of blanks on those anyway, and like I said, when you can pull up other reports for these dictators, it helps a lot anyway. Compared to what I see in some of the job ads, I feel I'm compensated pretty well. There are frequently incentives offered. For the most part, I'm left alone to work and am not bugged. I'm able to do above my 12,000, lines per pay period and also work as an IC with another company to boot. I am paid by direct deposit on time, every time. Never ever a problem with that. The couple of times there has been a problem with my check, say an incentive having been left off or something like that, I've had a manual check cut and in the mail right away. Hopefully this post will be allowed to stay and won't be overrun by those that weren't happy at OSi, but I couldn't be happier there.
You'll get it ----

It won't be the correct amount, but you'll eventually get it.  I'm outta there.  Today was my last day.


Thanks. I'll do that. NM

You'll never know if you don't try.
I would just go for it. Make sure though that you are checking and double checking everything, and look up anything you don't know for sure. This will take a while but eventually you'll get used to the job and you'll be glad you tried it. Good luck.
I'll bet
and you've never made a typo?
I'll 3rd IT

Allstate Transcription started a mentoring program that is very much needed in our industry, and I am pleased to say that I have been a team player for two or three months now!  In this program, Deb, the owner, gives people who have gone through some kind of course an opportunity to work on real accounts with real TATs.  In addition, she provides MEGA feedback with all kinds of documentation to sites for the interns to read.  Deb nor the editors can make anyone do anything.  The intern has to WANT to learn more and improve and has to have the capacity of breaking a habit of doing things their way versus the AAMT BOS way.  Deb will do flips backwards just to help someone succeed with multiple second chances.  In the real world, if you can't produce an accuracy of 98% and above, you will be terminated.  In Deb's defense, she cannot continue to allow a person who is not progressing to fill a slot when she has others begging to get into the program.  It seems that everyone here has a clear understanding of the bigger picture ~ producing 98% accurate work to a client so that they can provide the BEST care to the patient - afterall, it is the patient whose well-being is at stake here.   Carla     


I'll try them both. Thanks.:)

Thanks - I'll try that! - nm

I'll second that!!!
The reason I work for my current company is that they keep all work in the US! I am so glad that I found them!
I'll bet that you do.

You'll never see
10 cpl from MQ even if you truly, truly deserve it.
I'll second that
at least animals are honest about their dishonesty.
I'll second that!
I was hired by Cymed in the fall of 2005, and it really wasn't a very bad place to work, although not the absolute best, but then SPi bought them out in the summer of 2006, and the changes REALLY became evident in the fall of 2006. I started running out of work more and more each day, the account managers were constantly changing, my pay checks started getting screwed up (they stopped paying me my second shift differential that I always got with CyMed), and the office staff was just plain RUDE. I finally got completely fed up and left back in February 2007 and went to Keystrokes and have been 1,000 times happier!
i'll second all of that!

I'll second that!
Love, love, love it there! Never been so happy with a job before!
thank you, I'll try it!!

I'll bet this is TT

Nah, you'll probably have to pay THEM
.
It won't fly. I still don't believe they'll ever
so many hospitals and doctors don't even know what a CMT is or have never heard of AAMT or whatever they call themselves these days. Why would any sane person push for forced credentialing when it doesn't even increase our pay rates? You'll never gain any extra esteem in the eyes of physicians unless you actually have M.D. after your name. If they ever find a way to implement this (which I highly doubt), I will cease to MT, not because I am incapable of receiving credentials, but because it is completely ridiculous. Yet one more way to force liability on the MT where it should never exist, too. Any MT who falls for this has obviously been brainwashed by AAMT, the organization that changed its name because it had MT in it! They aren't for us in the least so please wake up to that fact. They have and will continue to harm MT more than they will ever advance it. The only ones capable of changing this industry are the individual MTs by not accepting BS, either from pseudo-organizations, MTSOs, or clients. End of story.
I'll tell you what I know sm
They always pay on time every 2 weeks (26 times a year). Reasonable benefits after 90 days if you maintain 11K lines and 80 hours per pay period. QA people are wonderful. Tech support is supreme. Management is nice, polite, available.

The way to be happy at TT is work something other than 8-5 and to agree to having a primary and at least 1 or 2 secondaries. An attitude that work is work and it has to be done, might as well be you, works very well. Being punctual and consistently working your shift will go a long way for you too.

I love it and will continue to stick with it.





I'll just bet MDI
would love to talk to you if you have the experience in acute care they require. Go to mditrans.com for more info. They are great to work for.
Thanks...I'll try that...n/m
