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.

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.
Call them. Something is not right. I was hired a month ago and started 2 weeks ago. sm
Call Laura or Becky in the office. They are both in tomorrow.
direct deposit every 2 weeks, on Friday,
x
Email her direct, not your lead. This was being done by the office sm
not the leads. We just pass it on and one more person can cause a delay.

A lot of my MTs have had changes to their schedules and are happy with the changes. I would email Lee or Martha if I were you.
Pay on time, do have direct deposit, paid every 2 weeks.nm

It's every two weeks on Monday, but with direct deposit you generally get it
on Saturday and I even know a couple of MTs who get it on Friday.
Please call me direct at 630-553-3680
Thank you !
Go for it!! I started 3 weeks ago. (sm)
They have a super training team. You get an immediate reply when you send an email to ANYONE at Medware. They are a great bunch of people and very helpful. Bonnie (recruiter) has always been there for me and I am on a team with a great Team Leader and Lead Transcriptionist.

I am on the Merit side and love it. It is an excellent program and soooo MT friendly!!
started new job 3 weeks ago
Left a job which had become very stressful and nonproductive for a company that I saw good things about on this board. I didn't see an ad, but apparently they were in the middle of hiring. I do a hem/onc account, 2nd shift. . It's VR but much better VR than I have ever seen. Good dictators.  I also have backup accounts. The people are nice and I look forward to going to work. No stress. I am not bombarded with e-mails while working.  I also have a PT job which I've had for 3 years, never had any problems with them.  Might want to work in another field one day but for now I think I'm in a good place.
I started 2 weeks ago with Transcend

At first I was totally frustrated, and ready to quit.  Now I am finally getting used to their program and it is flying.  Plenty of work.  Dictators are a mix depending on your account. They told me to cover the hours I committed to, but if I need to make extra, just do it.  I think that is pretty flexible.  I had to change my schedule the first week and no problem, just called and was told okay.  Not so bad. I may end up liking this.  Just depends on if I can get enough lines.  We will see.


I started 3 weeks ago, was on 3 days.

Started 2 weeks ago at Medware
Very happy.  I really like the system and my trainer has been great.  Call and email and IM and whatever I ask is answered, feedback is instant and you can pull samples on-line.  Great system.  Got an email yesterday about a recruiter moving on to another job, but that will not effect much, just hire another recruiter I guess.  They have several.  Go for it, you will be happy.
Not true. I started at 9 cpl two weeks ago. sm
I think it depends on the account, your experience and the shift and there is a raise at 90 days of 1/2 cpl.
Just started with Etrans about 2 weeks ago. So
far so good.
I got my first check within 2 weeks when I started last February
I never had to wait a month.
I started with them 3 weeks ago, after working out my notice with MW. sm
I have had a lot of work, love the account and have no complaints at all. It was hard the first few days to get used to a new system and dictators, but I am at 1500 lines a day now with no problem. I had no problem with paperwork, although the hospital took almost to down to the wire to get my ID ready. Best move I ever made!
LOVE IT! Been here 2 weeks and am already up to my past production. The office staff are
wonderful, I love my account and am so glad I made this move.
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.
Hardly ever happens. I suggest you call the office. (sm)
Must be a problem with your connection. 
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 your supervisor and tell them you're giving two weeks
notice if they need it.
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.
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
I know which account this is that started this week. I would call tomorrow. sm
The IDs were sent back from the hospital but only one part of them. I have been on the account for 2 days and it is great. HBO Star and lots of volume and good dictators except one or two. Call and ask if the IDs are ready. There are a bunch of new accounts starting at the same time. They pulled me from my primary to help until the other IDs are in, so they are definitely needing you on there. You will love the KS rad department; I have been with them for 4 years and every year it gets better!
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...
In REPLY TO: What do you call 6.5 cents?? - Geeze, when I started out 15 years ago, I made 8 c
6.5 was the offer for one place and the second offer was 9 cents. I chose the second offer :). Rough out there indeed! There are even places paying per report now... I saw 75 cents, $1.10, $1.15 and $1.25. Ain't good for Rad.
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.
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

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.
I was hired and started in 1 week. That is not a long set-up time. When I started with our local h
I needed to get a physical and go through orientation at the hospital which is only given two times per month. This is a 900-bed hospital, so it cannot be an unusual process. MQ took 2 weeks. KS took 1 week. SoftScript never got me started even after repeated calls and emails.

I have only been with KS for 9 months but would never put them in the same catagory as the others you mentioned. They are the best company I have worked for, and unfortunately, I have bounced around a little in the last 5 years.

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

Yes, call waiting works. I also have call forwarding from my home line

You can call it greed, I call it feeling like
I am back in the 80s with the money I am pulling in. SS, retirement check and my paycheck, cha-ching. Not planning on taking it with me, never. Love to travel and have 4 places planned for this year. High maintenance lady here. Ta-Ta.
