You'll get employment paperwork via email. sm
The HR person is out emergently today and yesterday, so there may be a delay. Storm on its way to Illinois today too!
They are so busy! I would shoot Deb or Wendy an email
nm
Can you check you paperwork again
it was Sten-Tel in MA. To my knowledge, they email all paperwork as attachments. That is how I received mine. Most companies don't go through the expense of mailing this. They refer you to their website if you are just inquiring. If you have been hired, they email the info to you.

What you have said does not sound like Sten-Tel in Springfield, MA - AT ALL.
If you read your paperwork, you'll see that is an option they have. Also, the state of Illinois
does not have right to work law, any employer can fire you at any time without cause.
Thanks! I'll have to check them out if sm

my present situation fizzles. 


I'll check it out nm
x
I'll have to check into that. Thanks!! nm
nm
THANK YOU TOO! I'll check with them on that! (nm)
nm
Tx I'll check it out!

Thanks...I'll check with new employer to see which one (sm)
they have..Hope it's Meditech Client! 
I'll have to re=check their website
I could have sworn they said US owned/based with locations worldwide.
I'll have to check into Spheris
I looked at them before and at the time they were starting training that you had to pay for and then they would hire you after graduation but if they are straight hiring I'll have to try them again. I'd rather have 3 job offers than none!
be sure your first paycheck is not an NSF check. Then you'll be fine

hopefully all will go well for you.  Good luck.


I'll check the COC but wanted to start looking now
to get a head start.
Thank you kindly - I'll check 'em out!
:)
Email me and I'll
no message.
It is an Indian run company. If you'll check the archives they
have been asked about several times the last month or so.  There has been nothing good said about them. 
I'll check paper tomorrow, but not sure about Broward,
zz
Thanks -- I'll make a note of those 2 companies and check them out. sm
Unfortunately, I am reaching that ripe old age where I see a crown in my future
I'll email you..but brief explanation below
When I say toggle over, I mean Alt-Tab like you use to toggle to a different program w/o the mouse. I have my Excel spreadsheet open while I transcribe in another program. So when I need to enter my job information, I Alt-Tab over to the worksheet and enter in the info, then Alt-Tab back to the word processor and keep going. Should work for any Windows-based program.

As far as the formula, let me see if I can dig up the tutorial link that I used to figure the formula...

Ok, here's the page:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/HP011277801033.aspx

I also used the Excel tutorials on About.com to get fiddly with Excel. I now know only enough to be dangerous.

Emailing you.
Your email address is invalid. You'll need to use another one if you want help. nm
nm
We must work for the same place.. I'll email you (nm)

I'll answer questions, email me. nm
@
I'll check that our. I mostly stare in disbelief at the Acct Backlog Page.
Disgusting. I'm disgruntled, too. Just got an E-mail asking for help from some newbie on my secondary on which there are only a couple dozen jobs. My primary is out and my STM will not give me a 3rd. I had a 3rd, but we lost that hospital in June. Sick of it.
Check your email.
All of this information is in your new hire orientation documentation. If you haven't received it yet, you'll get it. And they do discuss it in the offer/interview.
Check your email! nm
nm

You mean the email I never check? lol

Please check your email. (nm)

All opinions are welcome here. You need to check your email. NM

I emailed you, please check your email...need info...
thanks!!!
Couldn't you just check the email that was sent out shortly after the editing

Didn't it say there would be no more incentive bonuses for editing??  You may have a lot of typing now, but it isn't going to be that way for long.   


We don't want 2 shoot U now!
Sounds like you've been thru it! Good luck away from those people...yuck.
Shoot me an E here then
.
Well shoot me....didn't know
Like I said...I have never been here before and I DIDN'T KNOW.  So I apologize for whomever I offended, freaked out, whatever.  I didn't come on here to be attacked.  I have enough stress as it is.  I came to ask a simple question and I didn't KNOW I did anything wrong.  Can you back off now?
A crap shoot
Trust nothing from Spheris. You could luck out and get a decent manager and account, but it's a crap shoot. I don't have enough time, energy, or room to describe that circus. I can't believe most of them can sleep at night. Certainly you could find a few nice people and accounts to make your life tolerable, but suffice it to say, the culture is atrocious. I don't believe I ever received a straight answer from anyone in that place about anything of an important nature, and usually, the inquiries are just blatantly ignored. They could give a rip about the quality that goes to the client which made me crazy. Everyone is managed en masse. The platform I worked on was friendly. I can say that.
Shoot for at least 13-16 min an hour so you get at least...
$15 an hour. I make $19 to $25 an hour. It took me time to get to that amount and I had to get used to the account and set up my shortcuts, etc. Believe me, those minutes add up fast. You would have to type about 230 lines an hour every hour to make that on 8 cpl.
well then shoot yourself in the foot!
I'm telling you, these people are as honest as they come. I see the problems posted here, but one never knows all the details behind the post either. My experience says they are great to work with.
holy smokes .. shoot me!
I talk to people daily about transcription and I could not agree with you more .. what a sad state for professionalism.  You could be in the cellar transcribing in your undies, but I do not need to know this and most of the hard working MTs out there who daily do make a difference are offended by the visual.  Working remotely is not a given, but it is a boon to people with children, with disabilities, with limited access to a strong job market.  It does not mean that you do not take what you do seriously and that you give it your best.  I am so fortunate where I am to have a great team of people who work hard, turn around good work, keep their end of the bargain we make, and appreciate that they have a great situation and respect themselves for having achieved a great account, good pay, good feedback and employee status with good rates and benefits that are very affordable.  My intention is to keep it that way and thank heavens mostly I have my wits about me and choose carefully and well.  Our MTs are professionals and we thank our lucky starts for them each and every day.  The interesting thing is that I think that a recommendation for someone to come to work with you is the most sincere form of flattery and while we add to our ranks, I am getting so many referrals from our own MTs. 
It's basically a crap shoot, IMO

It sounds like you have a good impression of both companies, but the one seems to be more organized than the other.  Go with your gut.  I find that's a tactic that usually works well for me.


Good luck.  Hope whichever one you choose you end up liking it there.


The recruiter was on vacation last week. Maybe shoot
s
Shoot, I wanted them to start picketing SM

outside the hospital and telling all the patients their work is going overseas - then I want them to find out the hospital has contracted with a service using only domestic help.


They've been sheltered in the hospital's arms for so long, they thing outsourcing means offshoring.  Come join us in the real world, dears, you have much to learn!


I usually shoot off an e-mail when I have to make a quick trip
unless it will take longer than 10 mins or so.  I live in a small town so nothing takes much more than 10 mins!  They have NEVER micromanaged me and I highly doubt they will ever start unless I start to become some sort of slacker, which I won't. 
Shoot scuse my typos...tired...bad docs...long day...

paperwork
Hi, Not with this company, but if they are overwhelemed it will take time -- also, Fed Ex and UPS are recovering from the holidays and may have subsitutes on the routes -- ie -- I live in rural FL and my roommate FREAKED today because she thought someone was in the mailbox -- sub carrier -- they a lot of times are NOT familiar with the route and the BEST thing that I can suggest to ANYONE is to call the company and get the tracking # -- I did it and most are very accommodating and that way you can see if it is in transit -- if it says delivered and a time and its not under a doormat, in the yard, in a mailbox, etc THEN worry
paperwork
Did you get yours via email? How long did it take to receive it? I was half expecting to get it today because everything else went to quickly.........
Paperwork
Yes, I got an e-mail with attachments to print out all the paperwork required. Then, I filled it all out and faxed it back.
I have already gotten a call from their IS to check my computer system, which they did, and now just waiting for the ID #'s from hosp and then IS will call me back to load software into my comp. Heard from them today, said I should be good to go by end of this week.
Paperwork
My God....that was pretty quick...wished I owned my on computer....would apply....
Paperwork?
When did you receive that paperwork?  I've received nothing in the mail at all from Transcend.  From the communications I've gotten, it's just going to transfer over, which I would hope means all of our information as well.  I know they are supposed to be sending us the policy and procedures manual.  Is that what you are talking about?
If you'll read through past posts you'll find lots of
recent info.  Why do you need menitoring if you already work as an MT.  Unless you do clinic work most companies will require you to work at least one weekend day, at least initially.
