In Reply to: Wahhh, I have to work a weekend..... - ohplease
a weekend! You assume way too much! Of course there are times we are going to all have to work weekends. The point of this whole conversation (since you obviously missed it) is how crappy it is for MTSOs to offer only one of two schedules...give up every Saturday for the rest of your life or a Sunday. Some people do like to go away for the weekend, to their child's Saturday soccer game, or to church! Rotational weekends are awesome and I do them myself! I won't however give up every single Sat. or Sun. until I leave this company. It's not happening!

I am including all insurance deductions including nm

NEVER whined about the hard docs...
I was offered by them when there were a lot of certain docs up they would assign me some different ones to break them up, but...I have not asked them to do that. So don't assume....
Very little PTO and it is to be used for everything, including
sick days, vacation days, holidays -- really stinks !
I get 8.5 cpl including spaces, but
They pay 0.05 for weekends and another 0.05 for over 16,000 lines per pay period. If you keep your 11,000 lines per pay period you get almost 4 hours of PTO per pay period, which is about 10 days a year. No holiday pay, but usually offer a bonus if you work one. $40.00 internet reimbursement a month. The insurance costs me just under 100.00 a pay period for myself only, no family, but I think that depends on where you live.
Can't think of anything else, but they are good to work for...kind and honest.
I get 8.5 cpl including spaces, plus
for over 16,000 per pay period, which is relatively easy to get. I've got a great account though. I know some places may pay more, but we get what we are promised, on time, plus PTO and insurance if you need it, not free of course, but pretty resonable. An IC can make more per line, but end up losing becuase of the additional SS taxes and absolutely no benefits. I love TT and thank God every day for my job.
No it is everything including interventional
mammos, CTs, MRIs, PETs, etc. The docs are very good and the system is very easy -IDX. Guess I should just stay where I'm at.
9 cpl including spaces
..
I don't believe you get benefits including PTO unless
you maintain 5500 transcribed lines per week or 11,000 edited lines per week, or an average of the two. At least that is what my paperwork says.
But if they are saying per character are they including spaces?
I'd ask if a space = a character. ;)
I couldn't find anyone, including TT, who would allow only ops.

Do you happen to know if it would be any different including a spouse?

Many of the ones in the "management" positions, including
ROMs, team leads, and the rest, have never been in management and do not know how to handle having power. It goes to their heads, so they are on an ego trip, they love to manipulate and care less about who they hurt on their way up. They only care about their bonuses and big pay checks. They take care of their friends and everyone else be damned.
Some good people used to work for MQ including

Transcribing = 9 cpl 65 characters including spaces.
Good company, great people. Give them a try.
I have worked for 4 companies, including MQ now which have lowered pay.
it is the way things are now. This career is going to the dogs.

WELL SAID - OSi people are quitting in droves including management
that's what forums are for.
Starbucks offers a lot of bennies, including health,
for part-timers.
Is 8 cpl/65 char including spaces good pay for Radiology?
TIA
About 5 years ago was offered 10 cpl including spaces, 65 characters. sm
Don't know about now. That was doing all acute care, mainly op reports with full benefit package.
I declined and have my own accounts, but it was a good offer.
Good luck.
Hmmm.must have missed that. I saw it on ALL accounts but for QA including the platforms that run out
of work constantly.
completing thought.....including on the Job Edit screen. nm

Close to 9 cents not including multiple incentives
.
I do work all hours, including my days off, and 3rd shift
to try to make up hours, but I'm short most weeks. There are lots of accounts with low work, yet they keep hiring more.
I don't need the benefits, but I was told that if there is no work it will not affect benefits. I am new too and not eligible for benefits until next month anyway, so I can't say if that is true or not.
TO PEOPLE WHO E MAILED ME FOR MY COMPANY (INCLUDING THE SOLICITOR)
I am sorry I can not state my company. They are very small, only about 150 MTs, and they are not hiring right now. I did see them post twice when I was looking, though. Watch for the small U.S. Only job posts here on MT Stars.
To the solicitor from Infraware Platforms, I am in the MT business, not the IT business. I very nearly did give out the name of my company, and now I am glad I did not!
This issue IS... Do you want your QA that determines your errors, including punctuation, Indians.???
I have no problem maintaining quality and agree that 98% and above is acceptable and definitely quality what we all strive for, I just am offended that someone I cannot even understand and they cannot understand me, being the ones doing the quality checks on my work. That is my issue with it. You have not been there long enough. I was there a few months before they started bothering me. The problem was that I would tell them No, I cannot do the stat right now as I am logging off and they would still keep asking me. What part of NO in the English language is that hard to understand. Good luck with that.
Yes, that's including headings. I use Open Office which gives me a char count.
What it doesn't include is anything in the ADT screen, just what we type in the report.
It brings up 10 pages of info on TTS including the most recent stuff

Seeking company that offers good benefits including insurance.
Ideally, I'd like to find a company that offers medical insurance at a reasonable cost for family (under $500 a month) and a decent line count rate. Anyone have any ideas on this. Thanks.
eMTS uses several different software programs depending on the client, including CareFlow and

There are multiple platforms for rad including Radnet, Meditech, HBO Star, MiSys. Sm
I am on a MiSys account. I have a few friends on RadNet and ExText accounts. All radiology. I think it is the same for Medical Records too.
Verizon Freedom Plan, unlimited calling including nationwide long distance. nm

If your hired FT and you fail to meet line counts, you'll lose your benefits including any PTO
that you have acrued. So, it's best to stick to what you signed up for or you'll get moved to PT status and have no benefits.
Ditto.. Over 13 years experience working in hospitals doing all types of reports, currently working
for a national etc.. and Spheris told me I didnt have the qualifications. What cracked me up was the hospital I was working at at the time contracted some of our work out to them.. What a joke..I was good enough to work for a hospital and gave them work, yet not qualified enough for them. What is wrong with this picture.
MQ same situation. No pay for working holidays, no pay for working weekends nothing. Now noone works
much anymore and so they jerk the work out of the accounts to some place that throws it back with a lot of bad bad quality. This is the NE region. I dont know what the others are doing.
working from home is awesome but working for DSG is not...
horrible dictators, sound quality is bad, no answers to emails and they run out of work consistently...that is just my experience though...
So how is that working out for you?
x
Really? I'm working, too.
However, I'm working at the part-time job I was forced to get as soon as I figured out Transcend was screwing me. I have nearly 1,800 lines in so far today. How many do you have?
Are you still working for them? LOL
If you are, why don't you take your own advice -- leave. You're no victim except of yourself.
If you're not working for them, what's it to you? We're all adults.
Whether or not a company is "good" or "bad" (such juvenille generalizations, lol) is a matter of perspective and there are PLENTY of us who don't share your views.
Are you working for them now?
I just interviewed with them yesterday and have not heard back. Are you working for them now? How is that working out for you? Are you happy? Thanks
working
I, too have worked for other services. I think Transcend is excellent. You can make as much or as little as you want. I agree with you everyone is very nice and helpful and easy to talk to and most helpful. I have a different job at Transcend now and I think that very much, but I also transcribe whenever I get a chance.
are you still working for them?

I liked working for them but there
wasn't enough work on the 2 accounts that I was on to justify the fee for leasing the equip and I don't make enough yet to make purchases like dictaphone, lanier, etc. they always pay on time and CORRECTLY! if I ever purchase equipment like that I'll definitely be contacting them again.
And how would you know who is working and
I sure don't!
She could have another job and working before she would even
begin to qualify for unemployment. Why put herself through that anguish. She should resign and move on. She'd have a job in one day it is my guess. Unemployment should not even be an issue here. Most people can find jobs in this business very easily.
Who are you working for now? nm
nm
Yes, it's working now.

I am not working for them anyway, so
PTS Dictation in Florida. They said that they only get 8 cpl, and that is why they only pay 6 cpl, and yes based upon a 65 character line. That is not my problem they don't get paid like they should. I don't work for anything less than 8 cpl.
Working for nothing
You must not be in desperate need for making any kind of money because that company paid me terrible! $4.25 per 1,000 words. I can make more money working at McDonald's flipping hamburgers!!
Not a good company to work for! Would not recommend it to anybody!
