I'm sure if you call the office they would say why.

Why not call the office and ask them. THey have
been talking cheaper insurance for years. 
Why don't you just call the office and ask where
your piece of the pie is? I'm sure if you demand something you will get it!
Call the office - SM
We have a new HR person now. Just call the office and they will make sure that you are taken care of.
You need to call the office if you are finding this. They will fix it. They did for me and it has
great for the past 19 months since I did that.
Call their 800 office number and ask nm.
nm
They definitely don't take that long, so please call the office.

Agree....call the office and ask (sm)
for Becky, then tell her what is going on.
Call Becky at the office. 630-739-5520. She will have this
taken care of immediately.
Call the office and hopefully they will follow up with more work. nm

Why not call the corporate office / payroll? nm
.
Call Anthony at the office and let him know you are waiting or if you have sm
S. Cryer's email address, send an email to her and she will help you. She is the one who trained me. If this does not get deleted, it is scryer@softscript.com


That's a shame -- did you call the office? Maybe they sent your shirt to someone else sm

and they got the wrong size too.  Just a thought. 


Does anyone happen to have the number to call Amherst MQ office. Thanks much.
:
I would send in your resume or call the office. Some accounts do not
use phone lines at all and are internet only. My account is an 800# but I am not sure if there are any openings on my account.
I started 2 weeks to the day. I would call the office direct if I were you. sm
That does not sound right. Maybe the person you are working with dropped the ball. I would call the office. They are there until 5:30 or later on Fridays. (630)553-3680. This is not private info. It is on their ad.
Get proactive!!! Pick up the phone and call the office?? NM

Call the office and ask to speak w/ Debbie Hood
nm....
I have been there 4 years and there are many happy MTs. Call the office, not the sour grapes on thi
ss
Talk to your leads or call the main office to see if you can get a backup account...
I have been there for over a year too and have always had plenty of work...
Can anyone from the Ohio MQ office give me a contact person and a phone number to call so I can talk
to someone there without getting a lot of other people involved before I find out what kind of accounts they have to offer. I am interested in transferring from my current office but would like to speak with someone up there first. Even an email address of someone would help.
Yes, they offer I think 4 weeks at full pay or 8 weeks at half pay. Call the office
and talk to them about it. You wont lose your job. They aren't like that.
The main office was in Bolingbrook but they built an office in Yorkville last fall. SM
I think that the owners live in Yorkville, so it was built close to their house. Nice office, just pretty far out.
Just curious, is the MQ Nashville office the old Lanier office? nm
nm
I don't work in the office and never claimed to. I am just saying that since the new office open
October with everyone of the admin staff in one place, these problems do not occur any more.
What would you suggest?
I'm not being sarcastic or trying to start a riot. Just an honest question. What would your suggestions be to improve a company/industry? I'm talking good, honest, detailed suggestions. Alot of complaining going on... I can understand that. But let's actually DO something about it. Let's have some constructive posts now. Who knows, maybe some of the 'higher ups' are readining and would like some good feasible suggestions. I'll start.

I think shift differentials are a great idea. Maybe an extra cent per line for 6 pm to midnight and maybe 1.5 center per line for midnight to 6 a.m.

Your turn.
Here is what I would suggest.....sm
A flexible schedule for at-home MTs. You give the company a monthly schedule in advance with your commitment. I want to work within a 24- hour time period to get my commitment done.

I want to be left alone to do my job and not have annoying e-mails all day.

I would like to have tons of work, so I am able to make a decent paycheck.

I would like to see tech support 24/7.

Communication regarding account updates, how much work is on them daily.

An account liason to contact for any questions or problems and have a person on the other end and not a voice message system.

A transcription platform that is MT friendly, meaning one voice and document screen with demographics and report. Automatic physician rosts, templates, and search features for difficult dictators previous reports. Software that has an expander, preferrably Word based, and preferrably Stedman's Spellcheck programmed in it.

I would like to see a decent line pay, especially for experienced MTs. I believe that quality-driven experienced MTs with 15-20 years or more doing Acute Care should receive a better line rate than less experienced MTs. Experience with quality should be rewarded.

I think that if all the MTs did their jobs on Fridays and throughout the week, less or no weekend work would be required. I suggest no mandatory weekend work unless we want it.

I suggest an MT be recognized some how for her excellent efforts, either at Christmas time or MT Week.

Yearly bonuses or profit-sharing for the MTs would be awesome!

I also suggest the company provide the ability for the MT to move up the ladder within the company when the opportunity presents itself.

These are my suggestions. I do not need health insurance, as I am covered with my husband. So, that is not an issue for me; however, I also prefer working as an IC or statutory.

Flexibility - That is what working at home is all about.

MTs keep their line or minute commitments, MTSOs keep their commitments to their MTs and clients, and every one will be happy!

The MT world can be such a beautiful place!
I would suggest
The MT who wrote about MDI being nice posted up further. Take a look and learn a lesson. I happen to agree with her!
So, how would you suggest...sm
I get into a recruiting position? Is cold-calling and sending letter/resume the best way? I've been there and done it all as well and would love to get into recruiting. I rarely see ads for this position.
Suggest
Hi, I have recieved a mail from Rapid that they pain me 300 US dollar per month. I am wondering 300???????? US dollar is very low rate of transcription, how can they say that to me.
also suggest--sm
that you go to the MQ board on here and just read some of the posts there..see if you would like to be a part of that group. also, from what I believe, Spheris offshores, at least that is what I heard.
Where would you suggest then?
What companies do you suggest then?
I would suggest you go for
employee status and not IC.  No, insurance is not affordable.  I have been an IC for many years and the only way I can do this is because my husband carries insurance on me.  There is also a self-employment tax that you have to claim for the IRS and you have to be a very responsible person when it comes to setting aside part of your paycheck every time to anticipate paying your taxes so you don't end up with a shortfall.  The advantage USED TO BE but isn't anymore that you could be very flexible with your hours but MTSOs have found a way around that.  They are now pretty much dictating what/when/how and not having to give you any benefits.  Trust me, ICs don't make more anymore.
Then I would suggest
getting another job with a good platform. They are out there. What kind do you have now?
Can't get paid in the office if you don't work in the office.
JLG has MT's working at home, not in the office, not to mention working out of state.  The mail is the only way to get paid since they have temporarily suspended direct deposit.  The only ones getting paid on time are the ones that do work in the office, like the management and people answering the phone. 
Closed FW office, Indianapolis office too. nm
xx
I would suggest just checking into other
companies to see if you can find a fit for you. I personally have gone back to IC work because I'm tired of the hassles you have to deal with as an employee. Good luck to you, hope it all works out in the end.
I would suggest you try Spheris.
zz
Cannot get my check. What do you suggest?
I need that money, bad.
Anyone suggest a company with
affordable health insurance?  Thanks in advance
I too suggest contacting them. sm
From my experience they are very happy to try to work things out with you. 
So suggest something. You want another subject,
nm
And I would suggest we begin by having a SM
better education system. The school systems have gone downhill and other countries are ahead of us in math and science.
If this is your attitude, I would suggest sm

that you not move forward with Webmedx.  Nothing against your point of view, you are within your rights to have your opinion about VR, but it is not the right attitude to have or to display with this company.


The CEO is full bore, gung ho for VR.  You need to know that.  Most every account that I know of is VR for the most part.  If you are resisting it, you will not fit in with this company. 


If we shut up as you suggest....
Duh!
What I suggest is that you get those fingers
working to make money before that rate changes. Don't waste time on here. This does not pay you a thing, just gets your blood pressure up.
I would also suggest to check the archives. SM

I have never worked from home before, always in-house.


I have worked for Transcend for roughly 2 months. I have found everyone to be very professional and willing to help, understanding as well. Aside from only a couple e-mails not being replied to, all of my inquiries to managment, trainers, and technical support have been answered in a professional, prompt manner.


The new platform they are using does have a few bugs, but they are working on it and have made improvements even since I started on it a week ago. It is a little faster to get reports and is easy to navigate now that I've used it a week.


The pay has been right on time. The work is there on my account, however, most of it comes later in the evening. I do know e-mails often get sent out for help on other accounts.  My main account has VERY little ESL. There are many samples to go by as well and that helps greatly. There is quite a bit of formatting to learn with each separate account, but like with any new job, policies and procedures take a while to get locked into the brain.


My main problem is getting my line count up as my family is not cooperating with me!


It's just like working at McDonald's or Burger King. Either you like McD's fries or you don't. It's all in what you like and what you can accept, etc.


I suggest contacting Medware
wanting to know information that should come directly from them, not people "that they think they are in the know."
So what would you suggest? Typing ER work
xx
I suggest you do your own search. What works for
x
I have had recent experience with FI and I would suggest
you give them a try.  Their techs are overseas but much many of their MTs and accounts are here.  The work I QA'd was done by American MTs - I've done both so I know.  Like another poster down below tho - I would never give notice somewhere else - I would try both for a while and then make the change to one if you truly like it - it will only take a week to 10 days for you to find out if you like it.
