For me it wasn't the just not getting paid.
The TTS owner talks a good game but then is a complete snot through emails. They have a few favorite employees and everyone else is dirt. She talked about how hurt she was by the comments on these boards and yet has done nothing to change it and takes no responsibility for the bad stuff that goes on with her company. Oh well, I have moved on to greener pastures. :-)
I wasn't paid a dime to say that...
I wasn't paid a cent to say that. That is my own honest opinion/experience. I have an excellent supervisor who is extremely friendly and helpful. I never run out of work and I have never had to change accounts the entire year that I have been there. Their software is the best that I have ever worked with and I love it. My pay is always direct deposited on time and I have never had any problems. Even if they do outsource, I really don't care. It doesn't affect my job with them and it never has. I have plenty of work, get paid and an treated nicely. That's all I care about.
It wasn't your company and you were paid well
you deserve a share of the profit when she sells HER company?
Wasn't somebody asking about Probity?? NO SPACES PAID sm
Don't pay for spaces.
Subject: RE: MT jobs ad (Probity Pennsylvania)
0.08 and 0.09 cents per line.... somewhere between there.
65 character black and white line.
(black and white means pay only what shows up on the paper as black letters on white paper)
I have to do plenty of demographics. Did not realize I wasn't being paid for them. Am not surpris
It does depend on your acct,as you have said. nm.
That wasn't my experience there. I wasn't on that kind of all-inclusive acct, either. nm
s
Training on the system, not paid, but if you are physically typing reports then you are getting paid
nm
Oh, yea -- PAID, too. Grandmother PAID LEAVE would be a great drawing card to TT !!
Just love that PAID TIME OFF !!
Any company that makes you wait to get paid until they get paid by the client
is not a company you want to get involved with. That's part of being an MTSO, figuring out how to cover your payroll while waiting to get paid. I would stay away!
Is this a live count of lines paid for or same as CTRL I that we do not get paid for ?? nm
m
Me too.. the outsourced company was paid for and paid me for headers, but OSI does/did not.

I have always paid yearly and have never paid or been assessed a penaltly. nm
nm
Be glad you get paid tomorrow. We are paid on the 1st and the 15th, so sm
since the 1st is on a weekend, we don't get paid until Monday. It will happen again on the 15th of August …sigh. It is the only thing I do not like about the company, though, so I guess a few weekends of poverty a year is not too much.
Lori never paid me and now ETC has not paid my friend.
What is WRONG with these companies? 
Is it still being paid on time if you are paid on the 1st and 15th.....
and if the 15th falls on a Saturday getting paid on the 17th? My bank is open and posts on Saturday that means I am not being paid on the 15th doesn't? This has happened a lot lately.
At least you get paid, I would rather be paid late than not at all. Just my 2 cents.
nm
Yea, at least u got paid. Everyone who worked for TSI is STILL waiting to be paid
I don't understand how Jayne cannot pay us. We have christmas coming up. I bet her family has a fantastic Christmas because she is using OUR money to pay for it. I worked so hard for her and I know the other girls did too. How insulting that she will not return phone calls or emails or PAY us. How does she look at herself in the mirror knowing that the MTs who did all the work FOR her did not get paid. She even sent me an email saying I give you my word HAHAHA her word is nothing, obviously. Well, I will call the attorney for the THIRD time and see what is going on.
To the poster, at least you got paid even if it was late. I sincerely hope you get your last check.
Wasn't right for me at all. nm
s
it wasn't a can you help out, it was I need everyone
to work extra.
wasn't for me
pay was directly tied to quality and number of blanks you left.
Are your sure her name wasn't
I even talked with the owner over the discrepancies of my checks. He gave me his word that the problem would be fixed --- it never was. Your right, they should be sued, but who has the time and/or money to do such? That's why they're still around. One other thing -- I can't believe that a company like this is allowed to advertise on this website. We have to follow rules as an MT when we chat. Why shouldn't companies have the same stipulation. With all the negativity with this company (and I can back it up with phone records, paystubs, etc), they should be banned from advertising here, or anywhere else!
No, she wasn't.
nm
Boy, it sure wasn't that way when I was there...sm
We were always behind, it seemed, and always asked to type more, more, more. I'm not defending OSi, but this was in later part of 2006. Wonder what has changed? I can't believe, if this is the MK account, that they would send charts overseas. They were so !#$# picky (MK) that I got put on probation for some really, really tiny errors. Took me for a whirl and hurt my feelings, big time.
I had to quit just from mere principle. Harsh, very harsh! I can't imagine, from the quality I understand comes from India, that they would get away with making any errors whatsoever. Neither here nor there now, I'm just amazed at how fast things changed.
thanks - I wasn't using the right box
sounds like mixed reviews. Guess you never know til you try it yourself.
It wasn't MTs that were let go, it was QA, as that
is now going to India. I wonder how many accounts that CBAY will have this time next year.
A company that I used to work for offshored work to India. First it was just overflow because they couldn't stay in TAT, but then company saw how much they could save and sent more work to India. The problem is they weren't QAing the work and was of such poor quality that the lost the account, which ultimately cost them their business.

It wasn't all THAT bad for me
I will admit when I first started with Amphion, I HATED it! However, I was there for 4 months and only left because I was offered better pay somewhere else, also I was really running out of work bad on my primary account, I assume from overhiring.
It is true about the mandatory OT, but I liked the money, so I did do some. When I didn't do the OT, I was not reprimanded. I attempted to quite because of the QA person on my accounts was really condescending and I just couldn't take it anymore. I was talked into staying by the supervisor I had and I was even offered (later) a QA position there, but didn't take it. My supervisor there was fantastic and wonderful. I know they have other supervisors, but I couldn't tell you how they are/were.
I fell upon hardtimes close to Christmas and was having to move back to my mother's to take care of her house, my husband lost his job, and after explaining my situation to my supervisor, they sent me a 300.00 dollar check to help me with getting the lights turned on at my mom's house. I was informed I did not have to pay that back, but under the condition that I help someone else in need. I did feel appreciated at Amphion, but as I stated, I needed higher pay and I needed affordable insurance. With my account running so low with work, I just couldn't do those things, and it really made me sad that I had to leave.
Yes, they are very picky about quality and really some of it was so minute that it was ridiculous. However, if something ever happened with the company I am at now, I would go back. Under the condition I was with the same supervisor.
Anyway, I wish you the very best of luck with finding the company of your dreams. I am now with Axolotl and like it very, very much. Of course, there are a few bumps just about anywhere you go, but I enjoy my job.
Good luck and take care 
Wasn't here for that
so I couldn't say. I generally only pop in to research a company I may be considering because I know this is where to go to hear all the actual negatives and then some about a company which is why I felt compelled to say that my experience has not been the same as the other people. But whatever. I'll just take my positivity elsewhere since it apparently is unacceptable on this board. Oh, and I didn't take Carlotta's email that way. Then again, I'm not the one on here complaining.
No that wasn't me
MT Chat? How do I find that? Thanks
Are you saying your pay wasn't cut?
.
Yes, it wasn't... Not yet, anyway.
So am I waiting for the other shoe to drop? That's why I said I'm feeling MORE paranoid, not less.
Thanks! At least I know I wasn't seeing
things (or not seeing them as the case may be). :)
Hey, that wasn't me!
Someone else is using the name fed up but I am not that person.
I wasn't
arguing!? I was just stating my opinion... or is that not allowed anymore?
Per Moderator - ALL OPINIONS ARE WELCOME ON THIS BOARD!
Spaces, paid or not paid. Do you know? sm
I just started with a company and when I asked specifically if I would be paid for spaces, they said yes. When I started using their program I noticed that the line count for each job did not include spaces. I checked it with more than one program. I called them and they said there was a glitch in the program that would be fixed. It has been almost two months now and that glitch is still not fixed. My checks do not include spaces either. No one at the company knows what is up. I can't believe I am the only one at this company who has deduced that they are not paying for spaces. So, do you check your line counts to see if spaces are included? You might be in for a surprise. Man, I am tired of being burned when I am a reliable and honest IC. Maybe time to do something else. Thanks for listening.
You get paid when SHE gets paid from the client...sm
I don't like that at all.
I wasn't happy, but to each his own. nm

eTransPlus-- I wasn't going to say anything else but.....
the other poster hit the nail on the head about the insulting gifts sent for transcription week, and don't get me wrong, I don't expect anything as far as "gifts" from my employer, because they are not obligated to it, but give me a break, "I'm still trying to figure out what my gift is, either a mini mouse pad, the size of a coaster, or is it a coaster." They really showed me how much they thought of me when I received that gift.
This post wasn't from CW either. This was from me.
Just as you have never understood why people would come here and talk about their problems with Transcend, I simply cannot understand why the posts bother you SO much. You like working there, we get it. Others don't. Why is your voice any more important than ours? How fair is it that you think you can stop every single post where people have had problems just because YOU don't want to hear them? Obviously from the outworking of events yesterday, what I said on the Forum was true. You guys wanted details all along, so you got them. None of it was refuted by the company, instead it simply "vanished." When I had said that my emails were burning up with people writing me with words of support and thanks, you should have seen it AFTER they removed the post. There were just as many people appalled by that as there were the content of my post. You may think I'm in the minority, but you would be wrong. As wrong as you were about CW all along.
It wasn't sarcasm
It was sympathy, but I then again, I guess shouldn't have depended on you to know the difference.
Wasn't happy with them at all . sm
Check the archives. They're famous for giving you a setup or hire date and then never bothering to get in touch with you again. It was almost 2 months from being offered the position to actually working. Maybe that's changed with new HR. I can't say. I was given many promises that were never kept. I know I worked on two accounts that were both horrible. Slow, boggy platforms. Very long CTs and MRIs. If you do one or two specials a day you're lucky. The worst for me was the hand written log you have to keep ... all day long, with about six rows of information on every patient. Very time consuming. Not for me.
Your post wasn't that bad, but . . .
From what I've seen on here, if the moderator gives anyone an inch, someone else is HIGHLY likely to take 10,000 miles. Some people don't need much encouragement to go to the extremes with it, as in the 2 really foul-mouthed posts that got deleted yesterday. Maybe zero-tolerance is the only way they feel they can handle that. IMHO
Thanks! It wasn't deductible at all when I was an IC. sm
But I will never work as an IC again and I could not get an independent policy anyway, having had cancer and ongoing therapy. A lot of MTs are in this position with either age, a serious disease, such as hypertension, diabetes, etc. It just isn't that easy to get self-insured anymore. That's why I don't understand companies who don't offer benefits. The last figures I saw, benefits were worth about 1.5 cents a line. Something to figure in when considering great wages. Thanks for the information.
Sten-Tel wasn't the only one
A company called DW Transcription, hired me for QA and asked me to fill out forms, sign contract, etc. They asked me to start on a particular day and I waited and NOTHING. And so a few days later I called.... I get the feeling the person who hired me disappeared. Someone else contacted me by email and said I could start THAT day and I was just very uneasy about the whole thing. How could they just blow me off? I really wonder about this business.
This wasn't about VR editing --
All editing is a joke if you don't have time to make sure the chart goes back right. Now I guess the pay will reflect that (it's a joke) for all types of editing. I agree it's not nice to force people to take those chances with others' medical records in order to even attempt a decent salary for their own families; it's also a bad, bad thing when a company can tell you how much they value your commitment to quality one day and then decide to slash your wages for it. It's all a bad, bad joke, and (some, not all) of Medware turned out to be just another bunch of two-faced comedians.
[Maybe you can try Cymed out of Ohio? I know they hire editors there at an hourly wage (not sure what that is) and they seemed pretty nice; I turned them down out of loyalty to Medquist -uh- Freudian slip- misguided loyalty to Medware-LOL.]
Okay, I think now it's finally off my chest.
Good luck to the struggling Editor still at Medware. I'm moving on (again) to other things. 
No it wasn't Proficient
I have heard about them from reading the posts, though. Keeping clear of that one!
LOL! At least it wasn't MedicalBizarre!
QQQ
I wasn't going to put my 2 cents on this one BUT (SM)
500-600 lines an hour -- NO WAY. I'm assuming the Precyse recruiter is the one who told you this?? I left Precyse in February. I was there for 5 years. Five to 600 lph would be for a very, very (did I say very?) small group of MTs, but of course those will be the ones they'll focus in on -- huh? I still have several friends who work at Precyse on their VR system and they are LOSING money. Some as much as 300 dollars a paycheck.
Please just take this one bit of advice if you are considering Precyse, as with any company, ask lots of questions, do not ask once but ask twice, get everything in writing, and do not take the recruiter's claims as the gospel truth.
Oi Oi Oi!!! I can't believe the recruiter made that kind of claim.
It wasn't SPi; it was Ceridian...
I have gripes about SPi too, but in this instance, they had nothing to do with the loss of the laptop/our info. It was a Ceridian employee who lost it. Ceridian is the company that processes the payroll for SPi. Just FYI
glad i wasn't the only one! :)
thanks for the info!
Wasn't he in HR at one time?
