Depends on whether publicly or privately funded.

In Reply to: Outsourcing in California - MTness
I believe that the California statute prohibits any facility which receives taxpayer funding or is affiliated with the state from outsourcing.

Probably came out of company funded account.

No MTSOs publicly post their pay wages, etc.
of the huge problem. The MTSOs lie and bluff and change their policies any chance they can to save a penny or 1/4 of a penny. If you believe they are honest and upfront about same, you have a lot to learn. Which is fine, we all do, but for sure you have been duped if you believe that. Again, I can only say this with certainty after having been duped for years myself.

email me privately
for pros and cons
I responded privately, thank you.

work privately
in my experience, working privately is the only way to be appreciated; the only way where you get a pat on the back for a job well done; whether it be a smile or a thank you or being invited to the company picnic or christmas party, a place where people know your name and know when they dictate into a microphone, they might say hello or good morning or have a good weekend, that they know there is a real live person on the other end trying to do the best damn job for them because they are appreciated. you don't get that with online companies. you are just a 'number' who is required to produce in 'numbers' in record time, again there are the 'numbers'

Have to email me privately
so I can keep track of who will support and help with the effort :)
Email me privately
There is no way we can organize on this board.
Email me privately - I am NOT management or spying - I am a legitimate MT with 20 years' experience and many years as an activist.
But if we let our fears of the suits keep us from even talking, THEY win without even trying.
To those who have written me privately
I seldom answer e-mails generated from here because I'm never really sure where/who they are coming from. I will tell you that the hospital is a local one and you must live within a certain radius to work from home for them. Check out the hospitals within 100 miles of you, though. MTs working from home directly for hospitals is growing and in my area becoming the norm.
Because the site is privately .....
owned and the owners can do what they darn well want to with peoples' bizarre accusations that they just might not want polluting their business reputation.
TT is doing gymnastics to find decent healthcare coverage for its employees. How on earth does that get translated into a negative? And how is it that the company is nice enuf to frequently pay early, then people feel entitled to the favor as the rule, and sling mud when they have to wait all the way until payday to get their deposit?
Are you kidding me?
I have never worked for nicer people anywhere.
I emailed you privately about TTS...
don't even think about it.
e mail me privately. nm

I e-mailed you privately (sm)
It seems to be about 50/50 there. I personally have no work on my account or backup and it's been that way since October. I have talked to all the right people and I'm still sitting here reading and typing on MT Stars when I'm should be typing reports!
If you will email me privately -
I will tell you what I did in your position after 3 years of going through what you are going through with MDI.
contact me privately, please!
I think that contacting the media is a great idea, and very important... think about National security; however, I'm thinking of something else. Let's get together and see if we can figure out a way to start our own company. We are the BEST in the business... why can't we do it? Contact me, please. AmericanMT@yahoo.com
You never leave a way to email you privately
email roster. As an example Number 1, 7, 14 and 22...and the list goes on. Also an MT manager of another MT company on the list.
Good, sent me an email privately...
I am serious that I would look into this but only if I have true support...
privately email me, because my accounts are low! nm

Valerie, can you privately email me, too? Nm

I also worked for MQ and went to a privately owned
company and hate it. I am assigned my own accounts but can't make any money unless I work 12+ hours a day including weekends. They have a 24 hr TAT which I can understand but if a doctor doesn't dictate for 2 days (or more) and then slams you with 2 days worth of dictation I don't think it's fair to expect MTs to turn around all that dictation. I have more than one doctor and don't have a problem with TAT until one or more decides not to dictate for days and then OUCH.
Anyway I've decided to look elsewhere. This company also has alot of physical therapy and there is no money to be made in this field (at least not the way they do business), so I do not do physical therapy.
I've easily done 600, but it depends on the way a company counts lines and it depends on the
dictators. Obviously, if you have a good share of ESL, there is no way you could ever do 600 or 700. On really difficult ones, I usually run around 400 lines an hour and I have been working on this platform for 3 years.
Spheris is a privately held company, there are no shareholders
I suspect this report is bogus.
Their latest press release says they are planning on increasing their domestic work force at the same time as their overseas one, to match their aggressive pursuit of new accounts. (Personally I think they ought to concentrate on servicing the ones they have.)
Oh no.. Can you elaborate or privately email on what happened..That would help me immensly. Thanks.
Email me privately. I think we work for the same company and I have an answer for you.
I went through all of this about 6 months ago and if it's the same company I'll give you the lowdown.
Have you asked your supervisors why no work? Which account are you on? You can email me privately if
you want..
OSI--Would either of you OSI employees mind if I emailed you privately with a couple of questions?

Well, it depends on what you need and are looking for - sm
do you want employee status, need benefits, need equipment supplied by company or do you want IC status, your own schedule, no benefits, and a good line rate?
There are many good companies out there, and even Transcend is a good company in some MTs eyes.
What are you looking for?
4.65 to 5.10 cpl. Depends on whether you
get 55% or 60% of your base salary. You will starve to death only doing 1100 lines a day. That would be $51.15 to $56.10 a day,.
Depends.
I've talked with MTs who have said that MQ dumped them immediately upon giving notice, and they're anxious about getting on somewhere else immediately. I've talked to others who have had MQ offer them the moon and all nearby planets, with interest, to stay. I'm not talking 2 or 3 people here, but dozens. I'm not sure what the motivating factor is behind their decisions, because some of the best MTs I've seen have been ousted immediately. Go figure. Might depend on your office and the work load.
Depends
one person will tell you one thing, the next person will tell you another. I think the company I work for is THE best but then you might not agree. You kinda just have to find what works for YOU and you won't really know that until you try it.
Depends on what day it is.
I use a lot of "normals" and shortcuts. I make at least $20 per hour, that is on a regular day. I have made as much as $65 an hour. I get $15 an hour for PTO.
Well, depends
My requirement used to be 4000 lines (Foxboro office). Now I am at Columbus office and requirement is 4000+ lines, but also must work 20 hours a week, so that would put me at over 10000 lines a payperiod.
also depends
it also depends on the accounts, most of the accounts for one small MTSO do not have paragraphs, straight typing thru the complete report.
I'm sure that depends on what one...
has to offer, as it does with most companies. :)
Depends..
on if you have write offs or not. I was an IC for years and then went outside the home to work. When coming back to home base, I found it not to be an advantage anymore because I had no write offs and didn't want to open up Pandora's box with itemizing again.
It just depends..
It depends on what state you are in and how many employees are working in that state to determine if you are eligible for health benefits. With my state, there are only about 2 employees that work for FutureNet, so I am not eligible for health benefits. As for incentives, they have great incentives. You get 15% bonus every weekend, and 17% and 20% holiday bonuses. So they are fair with what they offer. Their pay is good; better than other places that I know of. And, again, they are really great to work for. You may be in a state that has several employees with them. I would just ask them. They are quick to tell you what you need to know. Hope this helps.
I think it depends.....
If you have a wide-open screen, like MS Word, or WordPerfect, that allows you to set formats, change fonts, etc. I think it will work. It is my understanding that I-chart is a series of different boxes on the screen in different locations, so you are very significantly limited in your text inputting. But then again, IT works with Meditech, should be able to work with I-Chart, shouldn't it?
Depends
Where did she go to school? I know a lot of companies that will hire newbies if they went to one of the big 3 schools.
Depends
I worked for them and they are great to work for but very picky. They would not pay for jobs under 98%. I would be interested to know what they are paying these days too.
Well, that depends on
your level of experience. If you are comfortable with your terminology it will obviously go faster. It is really hard to answer the question of how much time because each company might use a different amount of files and/or the files are of varied lengths. If I was testing, I wouldn't want to waste more than an hour myself, but that is just my opinion.
Depends
If you are unit based (lines) it is 120 days. If hourly, 90 days. Costs $90 Medical, 12.50 Dental, 3.85 for vision every pay period. I've had only office visits and have had no problems with it so far.
Depends
for QA or mt?
I believe they pay per line for mt
It depends...
I currently work for Precyse. So far it's been OK. I don't find them to be very flexible about the schedules. And now I'm a bit concerned reading another post here about being denied a schedule change. I'll be needing one in a few months. I'm expecting baby #3 and will need to go part time (also will need a few weeks to recover from birth). I've e-mailed my supervisor twice regarding this and she answered once asking what part time hours I was looking for. I answered her and nothing, so far. I understand prioritizing work matters, but I need to know what's going on before my water breaks. Fortunately that won't be for another 3 months or so.
I'm beginning to understand why so many people here were frustrated with the lack of communication. I guess I will be looking into part time IC work after my son is born.
I think it depends on how they have it set up...sm
I think it depends on how the system is set up. I have worked on several different systems and they determine the pitch and the margins they want for their reports.
Depends on ..
experience and/or ability. I mean if you get put on an account that's basically all American and beginner level, you wouldn't make as much as an account that's a mixture.
It depends
do you have enough work or are you just new to the account and haven't had the time to pick up speed, put in expanders, etc. I have worked for them for almost 9 months and it took some time to get enough work, but after about 2-3 months I was fine. They are the best place I have ever worked for, and I have been in the MT field for 35 years! Hope this helps.
It depends on what you are looking for.
If you only want a small amount of work, go for it, but don't believe what they promise. If you are looking for a good amount of work, then stay away, they don't have a lot and they don't care if you sit twiddling your thumbs waiting for work. Not to mention, the owner could use some people skills, and there was a lack of communication.
It Depends
Those contracts were signed with the original company, so it depends on the legal ramifications of the buy-out whether they're obligated to the new entity. Actually, such out-of-the-ashes entities are common in our industry. Someone is going to need us to do the work that the client doesn't want to send overseas.
that all depends, depends upon....sm
I don't think it's a lack of sense of humor. I think it's a sensitive joke and belongs on the comedy board, racist or not racist, that's where it belongs.
It also depends upon one's history, where they came from, what kind of struggle/oppression their own came from way-back-when, and I think we all need to be a bit more sensitive about things, especially in times of wars...there are about 32 wars ongoing right now all over the world. People merely need to be kinder.
And yeah, I am really annoyed about off-shoring, but that is not going to make me post anything as sensitive as a possibly racist joke, not even on the comedy board.
Please don't assume these people have no sense of humor - as I think you're way off-base on that. I think many of these people are very funny in other posts....quick-witted, funny, etc. Not that anyone cares, but my favorite show is one where no (insulting) stone is left unturned...Real Time with Bill Maher, and he insults everybody...is also VERY funny... And he's where HE belongs, on HBO. *LOL* Funniest thing though, I saw him live and two gentlemen sitting next to me were father-son staunch republicans. (That's even funnier to me!!! HAHAHAHA)
Have a nice day :)
DEPENDS
IT DEPENDS WHERE YOU WORK, I hear through the grapevine that the pay is like 4 cpl for one of the nationals, but maybe thats just them. I would love the name of the company who pays 12 cpl...as I am experienced in escription!!!
