Well you said up above it was regarding the trainer position
and they wasted your time. Now you have a problem with the way the owner conducted the interviews? I work for this company so I don't like to see the owner knocked down.
I have a ? for you - when I was interviewing with
Axo I was told 7 cents a line for employee - my current account is going over to Axo and I wanted to stay with the doctors I already know and love for over 12+ years (so I do have some experience LOL). Work is pooled (they told my docs I could continue doing their work so big red flag)and I understand they outsource. Just curious - what did they offer you for line count?
They might dock your pay for errors. I'd ask if interviewing. nm

I agree with you. I share your views on interviewing the

applicants.  You must be able to talk one on one with them and be able to relate.   Much of what you say I also feel.  Also, the things that I do discuss with my applicants remain with me.  They are confidential and they do not go past me as a recruiter, but I use them to help me in my job and to help my company.  I want all the folks I interview to know that their thoughts are safe, no matter what we might discuss regarding their experiences, etc. 


From previous posts and in my interviewing history,
I am not sure that is correct.  Some companies actually do just pay a certain amount per report for QA and it is very low and others pay just for the blank filled in.  Pathetic, ain't it. 
Did the MT interviewing with Transcript USA make contact yet? Anything good
s
They were still interviewing last week--wouldn't hurt to call or E-Mail
As far as I know they are still looking for Acute Care MTs, but I don't know how many they just hired or what kind of hours, FT/PT they still have available.  Could be that they are still looking for a couple more.  Sure wouldn't hurt to go to their website and call or E-Mail.  If they are still hiring, they may be jammed with applications, so if they do not respond right away that is probably a good sign and you should keep trying.  They are worth the effort to talk with them. 
mt trainer
that's the point. no one got it. they ended up saying that the owner was too busy to do any hiring. I interviewed for it too. 2 weeks of my time for nothing.
What trainer?
Initials
Well of course the trainer is going to say

she loves Meditech, then if there is an issue it becomes your problem. 


I do wish you well, but Meditech just doesn't get any better. 


My trainer is not so good.
I love the company, but I am not very impressed with my trainer.
Shannon T. is the trainer there
who trained me and another MT. Neither one of us worked there long; we had the same supervisor, GH. If you go with Milner and have Shannon as your supervisor, you might like working there. Shannon seemed like she'd be a good supervisor. She certainly was an excellent trainer.
Nah, the newbie had the best trainer...
including asking to work OT without recording...I have already seen it.  She is definitely a keeper!  Only those who refuse to do so are fired or made to be miserable so they leave on their own. 
did anyone have to call MDI-MD trainer for their
Bayscribe training? They said if I didn't hear from them by 15 minutes after my scheduled time to call them. Its looking like I am going to have to call in about 5 minutes. Just wondered if this is common?
Is there anyone who works as a trainer? sm

I have been working as a trainer for well over a year.  I have many, many years experience in MT and QA.  I am trying to get information on what the average pay is for a trainer.  Thanks for any info!


Told by trainer. But you're right

I have to call again.  I'll have to get on the phone and call tomorrow morning nice and early. 


The trainer didn't email you?
My trainer sent me an email letting me know that my computer would be arriving and to confirm when my training would start.

In the email, she gave me my user ID and password to log onto the computer. This is so I could set it up and make sure the internet was working properly before calling the specified number.

Maybe they don't do that with everyone? I don't know.
I have been contacted by a trainer in the US already. Still unsure about this.
They said they would overnight the pedal. Still unsure if I should change jobs. Yikes! If anybody could suggest a safer bet that would be appreciated too. Thanks for your feedback!
Yes, it seems to be rather slow. The trainer said she loved it, though, sm

so I will hang there awhile longer.  Perhaps I just do not know all of the tricks.  I was told to wait 3 months before asking for any changes, so I don't want to rock the boat right off the bat.  So far, everyone has been really great to me.


Thanks for your input -- glad to know I'm not the only one who is not fond of the platform.



CMT trainer for MT course on job seeker's board?

Now they want us to give out trade secrets to our international labor partners, aka Asian MTs?  That's like training your successor before you know you are being fired.  The indignities of this profession are piling up....


How is the trainer, team leader or regional mgr
They've already said that it could be months, maybe even into next year, before all the problems can be fixed.  Why would the team leaders or trainers have answers that the technical team doesn't even have, and if they do, why haven't they fixed it for everyone??
I'm doing okay at MW after 2 months. Didn't have the trainer screw-up that you had. TL and QA
s
Winnie you're a great trainer
You're at Medware right? A lot of former OSI'ers have gone to Medware.
The DQS is an IC position and the Dictaphone EXtext is an employee position....
both part time...both making 9.5 cents per line...which is better IC or employee?
Thanks :)
They usually give you an appointment with your trainer once your stuff has arrived. nm

Support very slow, had to train myself on platform. Trainer kept
p
I'm hoping too as I accepted position a position also nm

Is the AC a salaried position or hourly? If the position is salaried, there is
no such thing as overtime, at least not at any places I've worked. I've been in salaried positions before and you work until the job is done or delegate it to someone you know will get it done. Only hourly employees are subject to OT pay.
Is this for IC position?

I'm looking for an IC position
with a company that uses ExText as their platform.  Does anyone know of such a company?  Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
IC Position
Hi, can anyone give me the name of a "good" company that is currently hiring IC or statutory status MTs?  Any information you could provide would be most helpful.  Thanks for your time!
RE: IC Position
Transcend.
Yes there was a position...I was the one who
turned it down and she was hired a month later.

IC position ?
What is your opinions on IC position at $2.00 a page with 1 specialty? TIA
what I don't like about IC position

This is just my personal thought and i'm sure you would have VERY different thoughts on this from other MTs. 

When I worked as an IC with 20 hour TAT:


I found that I wasted way more time researching a blank (that I would never come to figure out anyhow), I found myself rechecking things all of the time and relistening to things constantly just because it was there. 


I have found out for myself that I could have been way, way, way more productive and making way more on a regular employee schedule.  I am done when my schedule is done...none of this all day every day thing...that's what it ended up turning into for me because the client was VERY picky (I'm talking obsessive picky about EVERYTHING) and I had to fine tooth comb everything to the point where it would take me 6-7 hours to get 400 lines in ...  haha, and the kicker is taxes still weren't taken out of that yet...so I bet you can tell what my pays looked like. 


I don't think I will ever go back to TAT work.  It works out for some people.. but not for me.  If I am going to have to be glued to my computer at some point in the day, I might as well do it on a schedule and get some kind of employee benefits out of it (holiday pay and PTO). 


When I figured what I was making doing IC work minus all of the taxes... I was making way less than I am now working 5 and a half hours a day 5 days a week employee status.


I always said I wanted IC work on a TAT..but, to me, there is no benefit to IC work unless you are a busy person and have a lot going on during the day or need really frequent breaks. 


Like I said..this isn't the case for everyone..just for me.  Just something for you to think about.


5-6 cpl for IC position
They have got to be kidding.  This would not even pay for the long distance service they require. Please, tell me someone in the U.S. will not take this position.
I'm looking for PT Ops-only position.
Anyone hiring for ops only.
Position for 12.50
The position is for pasting reports over from one platform to another. No transcription required. Their just hiring clerical people for these positions. This is why it's only $12.50.
IC position

Hi,


 


I was just wondering if there are any good companies hiring ICs.  I work for a national but I need a backup for when there is no work. 


 


Thanks,


 


Tina


I think this is an IC position. nm

DSG - QA position
Can anyone tell me about working for DSG in QA?  Are they employee or IC?  Do they pay on time?  Starting pay? Steady work? Lots of ESLs? Is platform DocQScribe? Thanks for any and all information.
DSG - QA position
I also work at DSG only as an MT (only 2-1/2 months now) and I see where there is limited work on Sun/Mon but those are my scheduled days off. I think the QA girls/maybe 1 guy there are quick to proof your reports for future reference, precise, accurate, intelligent and actually, I'm the one who feels bad when learning new report types in that I have to leave many blanks at times, but never, ever, have I rec'd an email from anyone employed there complaining about my work. Actually, I rec'd one email QA sent to my supee after seeing the same mistake 3 times and wanted it brought to my attention, so I welcome all and any info that helps me become a better and more accurate MT. Pay always correct and on time. I just had a major issue with storms and had to take a scheduled day off to make phone calls and get repairs done, and not one person there emailed me to complain. So far, I also love working for this company and until someone gets nasty with me, I will continue to work for this company. Are you sure you are not just misunderstanding helpful advice versus maybe taking it as criticism instead of them trying to help you become better at your profession? The grass is not always greener on the other side either.
Did you take a position with them? nm
.
Sad that they have been put in the position to have
to deal with all this.   Just one more strike against management, with at least one more to come. 
I'm exactly in your position as well, but
There have been some recent new hires and I can tell some of my work types are being blocked off to give to the new hires, so I am having to go to a secondary account to get my lines. About a month ago, there was a bad time where a lot of people were not meeting their commitments, so I think they are bringing new people in to get coverage, but now we have too much coverage. I have been seeing this for 2-3 weeks now.
BUT IT IS NOT AN IC POSITION

 


If TT asks the employee to jump in and help, then they should have to pay OT.  If it is because the MT did not make the line count, then that is on the MT. 


It is HORRIBLE that a company who hires employees asks them to work when they need help but will not pay OT.  They deserve to be turned in.


new position
I'm looking for a part-time position with a good company.  Any suggestions?
QC position
Has anyone else out there taken a QC job with Focus recently?  Wanna share your experience and/or nightmare?  I see they are still hiring, but from the outcome of the training group I was in it looks like they retain their new hires for anywhere from 1 day to 1 week.  Any thoughts?
I just took a position too. Hopefully this will be the
answer. Tired of bait and switch. Want to retire somewhere, hope this place is it.
If you took the position because you saw

dollar signs, I guess that makes you greeeeeedy as well, huh?


Sorry but when I took that position
I didn't agree to meet a courier.  She's lost 5 girls in the past 4+ months.  Two of them worked for her since starting the business.  She keeps switching my accounts to cover the people she has lost.  Now I see why they left.
