Wasn't that official last week? Or is this official official?

OSI good company to work for and others listed

Any info would be appreciated about these companies. Incentive pay/medical premiums, good accounts, Word-based platforms? 


What about Transolutions, Med-Scribe, MedWare, Northeast Transcription, E-MTS, JLG.  I know there is a lot here but I am tired of bouncing around this past year.  Want to find a place to make a decent living and stay put!!  Need good bennies, decent platform, decent account, and plenty of work.  I know, I know that is what we all want isn't it?


Thanks!!! 


I work Sun-Thurs and prefer it. sm
My activities are usually on Friday and Saturday and this schedule works out great for me. What if you rotated weekends and just happened to have plans on the weekend you were scheduled to work and then nobody would trade with you? That would suck. This way I'm always off or if there is work available, I will work especially in winter. Would also prefer to work Thanksgiving and Christmas and have the summer holidays off. But that's just me.
I work Sun-Thurs and Georgie needs social skills

I changed from Tues-Sat 1st shift to Sun-Thurs 3rd shift because I start Sunday evening and I am done with my shift on Fridays at 7:00 a.m.  I have all day Saturday and Sunday to spend with my family.


Georgie, you are just a NASTY person.  There is no reason to be so rude and condescending to others.  I think you need to take some classes on social skills or get some counseling because you seem to be a pretty MISERABLE person.


"Holiday" pay went out with the dark ages even in hospitals.
Most places, except for businesses who close on what they elect to call paid holidays or weekends, have gone to a leave bank, where all leave is put into a large pool and you can draw on it as you wish. This pool includes sick leave, holidays, and vacation time. this eliminates problems with those who feel legal holidays should be other than the standard Christian holidays that most of us celebrate.

Your best bet is to request the day off as PTO and get over the feeling that you are entitled to be off every holiday. If you want every weekend and every holiday off, then go to work for a private doctor, although most of the doctors where I live now are open on Saturday.
It's official - DRC is no more, now it's AcusisUS. nm

It's Official! I'm A Transcender !!!!
O' Happy Day !!!!!!!!!             
It's official, I'm a Future-Netter

I'm happy to be joining FN as a PT IC.  Thanks all for your recommendations - I took them to heart.


This is why people do not like to post here. I am not an OFFICIAL recruiter but sm
like to refer KS to others as I am so happy there. I was not aware that using the title was misrepresentation. It really does not matter. I am not going to waste any more time here. It gets very time-consuming and I am tired of feeling attacked if I post anything at all.
Don't know the name, but that would be 1 day out of 5, so a Sun.-Thurs. schedule
s
How many MTs were in on the 11:00 a.m. call Thurs morning and what
did you think of the answers? I think that CB did not have any specifics and should have had them from Transcend before holding that call. Come Jan 1, if any of us are still with MDI, I suspect her answers will turn out to be very inaccurate or totally forgotten. My email questions have not been answered at all and I do not look for any real soon. I am looking for a new MTSO while I still have a few months before the sky falls, and believe me it will! Been through this before with MQ and never, ever thought I would see this again with a company like MDI! So much for Patriot Dorothy! When I asked for an excuse to get out of jury duty because I could not afford the days off work, I was told that Dorothy was too patriotic to allow that and I would have to serve. My, my how things change!!!
I got mine already from my company.
Here's keeping fingers crossed for everyone else.
Sent in my resume on Thurs, did their test over the weekend

I know it takes a while.  I'm just itching for a change. 


offered tues-sat or sun-thurs sched- nm

MTSOs seeking MTs for Sun-Thurs or Tues-Sat positions..sm
This question is for anyone who has ever been hired by an MTSO who advertised the Sun-Thur or Tues-Sat only schedules.  Can you tell me which companies (if any) that are willing to be a bit more flexible in this area?  I don't mind weekend coverage at all and actually prefer a day off through the week.  However, I don't think I could adhere to a schedule where I had to sacrifice every Saturday or every Sunday for an indefinite period of time.  I would be happy to work every other weekend or alternate Saturdays and Sundays, basically working one weekend day a week.  Or are most of the companies that advertise require their MTs to stick to one set schedule, no exceptions?  Thanks to anyone willing to take the time to respond! Your replies are appreciated!!
If I am not contacted, it's the company's loss, not mine
I know my worth, have great experiences and I write a resume that gets attention. I sometimes think people just slap something on a resume and expect to be the ONE the MTSO just can't live without. I can be picky but I don't think everyone can say that. I agree with you...it isn't about courtesy or anything else. It's just the way the world goes round.

I saw an MT say recently they got 3 response from sending out more than 50 resumes. I think something is wrong with that resume or the MT's abilities and I advised him/her to look for a different career. That post got deleted.
I got mine yesterday. what a bassackward company.
sigh
Don't have mine yet either...agree with above post about company going downhill..sm
A constant lack of work since November.  One day we are working and then the next day we are told to sign off because of no work and to not sign in until they tell us. In total since November I have missed 17 days due to no work.  That is a lot of money for me.  Hard to get another job because I need my insurance.
A friend of mine is a male and owns a transcription company. sm
He has no problem getting accounts and is quite wealthy from it. So, do not let your gender deter you!

His company is RX Transcription in Newtown Square, PA. Give him a call and maybe he can help you.
Mine did not work but, they did try it
I ended up having to go with theirs, but they at least attempted, and they overnighted me one that would work. The pedal is plug and play basically. I no longer work for them, but they even make it easy to send it back if you leave.

:) Good luck
Good Company, but yes very strict supervisor or mine was anyway! As long as you meet the deadline
you are safe!  They were strict when I was with them though
I work there, and a friend of mine just started. It took RO
about a week for her to hear back. Good luck! :-)
Me too, me too! Mine was 2639! I heart MT work! nm

That is not true on all accounts. Mine is always out of TAT with plenty of work.
The teaching hospital accounts are pretty busy all the time. Ask to be put on one.
The hospitals that I have worked at and the ones that friends of mine work for sm
all have a two week delay between the last day of the pay period and the payday. Same exact lenght - ends on the 30th, pays on the 15th.

I am not trying to argue, but I don't understand what you find wrong with this. The companies (all of them) need time to bill their clients and to process payroll. Some of the smaller ones probably have to wait to get paid too.

I work for KS and get paid on time every two weeks. The consistency is important to me as a single parent. I tried working for a small company but found that they had to wait to get paid and unfortunately, GMAC would not wait for me to wait to get paid. Going to a national like KS solved that problem and I can count on getting paid on the 1st and 15th of each month.
I sure didn't get that from mine - do you work on Radnet by chance? sm
That's a hospital-based platform and anyone who works on that is more inclined to have issues. Whatever your platform problems, they are not company-wide, that's for sure.
Mine didn't seem to work when I had it minimized, so I'm stuck using their own expander, which
,
It has been a couple of years but I tried to work there and lasted 1 day and so did a friend of mine
The ESL were AWFUL.. It was all I got and I could not understand anything they said. They were out of California so had a real mixed bag of ESL but none of it was doable.  Things could have changed, who knows.
how do we work it? Easy answer - work for another company. That happened with the company
I was working for. I would wake up at 4 a.m. AND ON THE WEEKENDS TOO because they needed "coverage" supposedly and I would sit until 9:30 or noon without any work. Sorry, but my rent of $1450/month could not be paid with only $57/day. So I got another job and when I got the equipment and everything, then I quit for the other employer.
I bet you 1 million $$ you won't find one on mine. Mine is
2 years old and it does not have a 9-pin serial port, nor does it have a game port.   I have used both ports on other computers so I know what both ports look like.  I also have a company provided computer and it does have the ports on it. 
Compensation not listed

Has anyone else ever emailed a company when they do not list their rate of compensation only to be ignored?  This really irks me.  Why can't they just list what they are offering so we don't have to waste our time?  This really annoys me. 


Do they have an ad up currently? They were listed on the other Job board, but I don't see them
s
There are several companies you listed
that are not Indian companies.  Several of them offshore, but they are U.S. companies. 
There are a lot more than 3 jobs listed on
x
The two listed on ad post are former
They were there when I was working with YOG until Medquist ruined it all. They left because of all the garbage going on. I was hoping they could get things going strong with FutureNet.
You listed the basic ones
Let's not forget about burping, yawning, coughing, sneezing, chewing/eating....... the list goes on. 
Saw them listed as places to do internship (sm)

for MT training from Penn Valley. 


just mainly wanting to know if the location was north of the river.



 


look to the left it is listed under Medquist
right underneath company board
I was black listed because I refused a job with TRS
Then, I was told they called the other company I as going back to and I would not be allowed to go back there either. Lucky for me, I had 2 jobs already.
Just read 5-7 2 ads listed MT jobs
This is unbelievable and sad for those who feel there is no choice out there.  As long as these are accepted they will continue to be offered.  Emails to the company saying -

- 5-7 cents a line huh, what do you suppose this comes out as an hourly rate  Shame on you this is slave labor.

 I have also seen 4 cents a line for MTs, yes.    Nonsense MTs, keep looking around..


They are listed at the AAMT site, if that
means anything. The name Medical Records Corp was also connected to a company that was bought by MQ in the early days. That was a very good company. I can't find a website for this MRC out of MD, but I would be interested to hear anything you learn.
It's TRX...the OP listed on the title of her post

Not JobSeekers, but the JobBank. One job listed.
:)
they're not listed on Manta.com

There is no suite number listed. I did not see one.
945 E. Paces Ferry is a building full of offices. Where did you see the office suite number and what is it? I live in Atlanta and can go see for myself ---that is, if I have a suite number.
Client names cannot be listed here.

Was Being "On Call 24/7 By I/R" Listed?
If I missed it, it should be added to this excellent list.
They are listed on MTIndia with 3 locations in India.
Go to MTIndia Job Center.
Could you possibly email me at my address listed above..sm
and tell me on average how many lines you can do in an hour? I know there are a lot of variables to consider but it would give me some idea of what I might expect too. I have 28 years experience and consider myself quite good, but I know sometimes the software, demographics, etc. can slow you down. Also, is there a lot of work on the accounts? I like to do about 2000 lines a day. Thank you for taking the time to help me.
There is a transcriptionist job listed in my local newspaper (sm)
It says fax CV to ---

Does anyone know what CV means? The only think I can think of is maybe Certificate Verification?

Thanks.
On a jobs board. It is listed as a supervisor.
Many usually ask how to get into companies as a recruiter. This is one chance I guess but you do have to have experience according to the ad if I recall in MT and QA.
