A couple more names for the BEWARE LIST

Apparently, sometimes they use the name Transcription Management Systems of Illinois and sometimes they use Transcription Systems of Illinois.  Regardless, if these two names ever show up in the process of applying for a new job or if you currently work for them under whatever name they made up RUN.  They will NOT pay you.  Since they are somehow related or use to be related I felt it necessary to add Lissie's name because she poses as the 'office manager' and doesn't bother to give straight answers either.  Anyone else filing in small claims tomorrow.  I know at least two of us are.  We haven't heard anything from the attorney so we will just go ahead and do what we already told her we were going to do. 


Would you mind e-mailing me what the name of the company is?
nm
Which ones? I really want an accurate list before I start looking. nm
nm
How could we start a running list, to each contribute to and could
Any ideas? Javabean, what do you think?
Why dont we start a list of NO PAYS and save everyone else the trouble of applying?

I have an idea..we should all start a list of MT companies that are no payers, bad payers, and late
but it is even worse when no one knows their record until they find out the hard way as they sit around waiting to get paid. I think it's rude to bounce checks, pay people late or not at all. We're not all working for free because we wanted to donate our time. We need to work to survive and those companies just prey on people. If they are getting paid, yet they can't pay their MTs, I'd say that someone doesn't know how to manage money. I just find it sad.
What is the LLC after company names
I see several companies on the job boards that use the initials LLC after the name. Are these companies related?

Ty
Anybody with any other company names for
I can't think of any others but the 2 listed above.
you can given company and software names.
nm
Look at the board, company names are everywhere.
x
Of course it is okay to mention company names, this
is the company board.  
That may be but if companies can't post ads without company names,
nm
it's okay to give company names, per moderator.
nm
I think you can still mention company names, just not individuals (see message)
I work for a national and my deductible is $500 also per year.
I believe you CAN list company name sm
check with moderators (see left side of screen list) At least give initial and state. There was a post Saturday I think somebody said they could post a company name and they did.

Gad this is protection for the rest of us. They really do become obsessive-compulsive, downright become sick stuff like they have to find SOMETHING in order to justify their job, find no problems, then why have them right sort of thing. Ya just can't win and work at peace, never want to go there for sure.
which company is this? why not list the name so
nm
hmmm...one more company off my list!

All a company can do is put you on a do not rehire list.
If you put them on your resume as a reference they can by law only answer the dates you were employed. Nothing else. If you give notice they can put you on the rehire list or not. You decide. These are the legal facts. Not to say they may do other things. But if you are a good MT and you want to work for a reputable company it should not be a problem. Re: black list passed around: There are rumors of it, but when I hired I would have paid no mind to it, rather judged for myself through interview and researching references. Good luck to you. It is a slow time of year, the only reason you may not hear back right away from potential employers.
My company doesn't even have a list of what they expect

What drives me nuts is a company that doesn't even have a list of what they expect and with 8 different QA people going over the report, it's just the luck of the draw.  I have had two  of the same operative reports by the same dictator who uses basically the same language.  Easy to type, right.  Change a word here or there and send it.  Had two different QA people.  One report was 100%, the other 89%.  One changed all the punctuation, the other didn't change a thing.  One didn't like where I set up paragraphs.  One gave errors because what I thought was um QA took as a and gave me an error for omitting “a” from the sentence when the dictator never dictates a complete sentence in the first place.  We are told to type verbatim.  So what is the difference between “Patient received bolus of” and “Patient received “a” bolus of”  Of course management sides with QA so no way to complain.  If they were consistent, there would be less people dreading QA and it would truly be a teaching tool, not a power play by QA to show us lowly MTs that they are better than we are and justify their own jobs. 


 


Company websites list requirements, etc
.
Why Google web? Compile a Stars company-specific list.
Immediately above the first post about 'Dictation 9 cents' whatever, and next to the 'Post New Message' button is a Search box. Use that one and get what you are looking at - only company specific. Why go outside the source? this is much easier.
So start your own company. That's what they did. nm

would that company start with a "T" and
end in a d? If so, I know all too well! It makes me sick. I've been doing this for 11 years and it really is getting worse and worse for MTs. They are pretty manipulative in making us think we will make more. We're not that stupid, though, to believe them. Aren't there any companies who just stick to using human MTs instead of these ignorant VR systems? If so, tell me who, please - I'm ready to throw in the towel with the company I'm at now.
No, the company do not start with an M
nm
Does this company name start with A? nm

Does that company start with a
xx
Does the name of this company start
with an M?
Does the company name start with a T??
I have been there and done that!!
What company is this? Maybe I should start looking
NM
Just curious. Does your new company start with a P? nm
nm
Yes, I'd have a backup job..Also, does this company start with a C?? Thanks NM

This company's name doesn't start with a "K", but......
sorry you had the same experience with another company. It stinks when you are told you have failed a test but aren't given any further details.
It is a good company, how many others start - sm
you higher than 0.08 a line anymore? Very few and far between. They don't make a fortune off of you, they are not getting .20 a line and you .08, nothing like that. I have been working there for a year now, and yes some days I only make $50, others $80-$100, just depends on how much I chose to work. Have plenty of work, too much actually right now, all my accts have gone crazy lately it seems. But if any one sees this and has questions just let me know.
I start tomorrow with a small company exactly as you
Hope it works out but I've had good success in the past from companies who don't advertise.
Company start with an "E"..give us a hint. If they are doing it to someone else too, then I&#
Throwing in the towel is one way of putting it. I've done this routine too many times.
optimal - start-up flip company

Optimal readings is a start-up flip company. The CEO has been involved with numerous flips with other companies he's helped start. They are backed by investors with deep pockets, which it needs for the acquisitions they conducted last year and going forward. Because of these acquisitions, they've gone from a start-up in late 2006 to the No. 4 Teleradiology service provider in the nation. They've positioned themselves in an attractive position for one of the top 3 to buy them out. The major draw back of this company is the fact that their overhead is very high (radiologists aren't cheap, up to $350/hr) and they've resolved to billing insurance and individuals instead of billing the hospitals directly. Collections of this nature are in the 30%-40% range. While they use Billed revenue to make themeselves look attractive, their actual 'collected' revenue is significantly lower. Any company that buys Optimal Readings (which may be going under a different name now after their Dec. 6th 2007 acquisition), will be buying a money pit and will likely just liquidate their assets and adapt their clients into their system.

I also could have written your post.. Does your company start with a .....
T...??? It just sounds way too familiar and I have cut back on working for them because I'm sick of getting the garage that they won't send to the Indians
you must have mistaken this for another company; benefits start in 30 days
This person obviously has no clue
Don'r forget, when you first start direct deposit with any company sm

sometimes you get a paper check the first pay period.


Does your company start with a T... If so, I feel your pain and it does no good to complain. No one
cares. Tell me how you go from over 200 jobs in a queue to nothing in a few hours. Hmmmm. I smell offsourcing. Not happy. I just got a second job and thank goodness. It will save me when there is no work which is too often for my liking.
Why would there be a mailing
to all past MT's? What's that about?
Gosh..does this company start with an F. In any event, you need to double check with your insurance
provider to see the exact date the policy was cancelled. Sometimes, companies have to pay preminums ahead of time. I would just make sure and if they are still taking the money out, you need to send a certified letter telling them to return your money at the point you were paid up and the policy cancelled or reinstate the insurance. Why pay for something your not getting.
no faxing/mailing
x
If they are mailing overnight, then they are using
a service such as Fed-Ex, UPS, etc., or maybe even the postal service. Not cheap by any means.
Do you mind e-mailing me also?
I currently work at a hospital, but I have to come back home to work due to my husband's job. I really need a job that is real flexible, because my daughter has special needs.

TIA!
E-Mailing from site
My apologies to you for responding by e-mail. It is late and I hit the first tab.

I totally understand. I had some disturbing e-mails once from someone who did not agree with post I made in the past.
How do you know list is true? I can make a list,
x
We band together and start our own company offering our services to the hospitals we've been work

on already and take our accounts back from Transcend.  I haven't signed any noncompete contract with Transcend.  Would the MDI one be null and void? If my pay rate is null and void, so must my noncompete.  They can't have it both ways.


But they own the other company and it's a big company. Why would they then start
a competing company in the same state? What do you think they are up to?
