They don't offer sign-on or referral bonuses-SM

Posted By: Honestly on 2006-02-14
In Reply to: Does TransHealth have a sign-on bonus? It seems like there are people recruiting for them on these - curious

As far as the mixed messages you are getting on whether it is a good place to work, I think that if you know what you're doing (I mean really know and not just think you have XX years' experience and so that means you are great) you would have a good time working for this company.


If you have really limited experience as far as types of dictators/type of work and can't do ESL, it isn't the place for you.

Referral bonuses not paid - that's NOT RIGHT. nm
Not right at all.
They must be advertising increased referral bonuses again.

spheris has a hard time paying their referral bonuses as well.
Spheris has a hard time paying for referrals too...just put you in a drawing for some prize. if you win, great if not, then who cares.

SIGN-ON BONUSES
Not all companies that offer a sign-on bonus are bad news. Typically a company will offer a sign-on bonus if they are looking to fill positions quickly. A lot of times, this is interlinked with a new client/account go-live. The company wants to make sure they have enough MTs for the go-live. A sign-on bonus also draws more MTs to apply.
Sign on bonuses
I got a job with WebmedX with a $250.00 sign on bonus.  Then, they charged me $250.00 to use their equipment.  I quit 2 months later.  So much for the sign on bonus.  Anyone actually get one? 
Sign on bonuses
How do sign on bonuses work?  Has anyone ever received one?  I have seen a couple of companies say a $500 sign on bonus and was wondering, do you get this when you start or after you have been there a designated amount of time?  Was just curious.  TIA.
Anyone notice there seem to be less sign on bonuses out there? (sm)

I am assuming (and we all know what happens when we assume) that this is because so many of the MQ people are out looking to change jobs that the companies feel like they don't have to work so hard to attract people. 


 



 


Sign on bonuses-What's the catch?
Hi.  When a company offers something like a $1000 sign-on bonus in one of their classified ads, what conditions do MTs usually have to meet to actually qualify for just such a bonus, and if those conditions are met, how long does the MT usually have to wait for the bonus?  I am personally not looking for a new job right now, but when I see those adds, I ALWAYS think - Yeah, right, what's the catch?
Sign on bonuses - do most companies pay these out pretty well or (sm)
do you find you have to call and keep bugging them to get it paid out? 
YIKES... I guess I knew it sounded to good to be true. I wonder if anyone ever gets sign-on bonuses
at any company. Maybe we should take a survey on who actually gets a sign-on bonus. How depressing is that. Now I'm bummed.
Do they offer production bonuses? nm

medscribe and they offer a 500 sign on bonus. nm
.
i wouldn't sign it, but cross that out and sign
the rest
Referral?
I would like very much to be in your shoes.  Does your company need more help on a part-time basis?  Care to give a referral to me?  Please feel free to email me privately if you prefer.
REFERRAL
I am responding to your post on MTstars. I am looking for parttime work, 20 hours per week, Sat, Sun and Mon if available. Am currently working Sat and Sun 12 to 7 am and cannot keep those hours up. I would love to work for a happy company and get praised now and then.

referral bonus? ; -)

referral bonus?
Does Transtech pay referral bonuses?
TT referral bonus
Thank you, any idea how much it is?
Companies that pay a referral fee?

I'm going to apply there (and anywhere where full time is 35 hours or less). 


If you work at such a company and want me to say you referred me to it, let me know.


E-mail me.


How much do you make per referral?

Could it be due to the referral bonus offered?
:D
Whatever..as I said..I quit them...wish I were a recruiter..could use the referral..but as you see m

Anyone get a referral/hiring bonus?
I've got over 25 years acute care, heavy emphasis on OPs and ESL, and I'd prefer something that's gawd-awful flexible as I live on a ranch and occasionally lose a couple hours at a time when the SO needs help with the cattle or horses or even just opening gates while he's on the tractor. In theory, at least, I am capable of 1500 lines a day with the typical household distractions. I'm okay with one weekend day (or preferably even a 4/4 split), but not an entire 16-hour weekend. My ideal would be where they tell me how much work they want done in a day and then leave me alone to do it whenever I want to (yes, I'll put down the crack pipe now).

If anyone works for this utopian MTOS and gets a hiring bonus or even knows where I can go to find it, please let me know.
i smell someone doggin for a referral ... not nice!
I work for them too, and albeit, a good company but not a bed of roses.  TONS of changes seem to be going on all the time ......... stop sniffin around for that 750 bucks. It's embarrassing.
THANK YOU!! WOW even if i wanted to work there I would NEVER give her the option of a referral as

Yes...Career Step has a referral program where you receive something like sm
50.00 for every person who signs up for Career Step through you. I BET they are affiliated. How unprofessional can one co. be?

Bonuses
You missed the point completely. This is a profitable MT service with over 600+ MTs. There is nothing thoughtful at all about sending an item that cost less than $4 (no exageration on that figure by the way), with no letter of recognition, no Happy Holidays, no nothing. It certainly sent a message to me of how much they valued the job I did this year for them. Furthermore I have gotten very inexpensive gifts in the past from both large and smaller MTSOs that were not expensive but thoughtful and totally appreciated, so please do not interpret this strictly as a money issue.
Bonuses
One very nice bonus from some local docs I take care of. One extremely tacky cheap bonus from my main employer. While I don't think anything is owed, and did not even expect anything, I am struggling with the fact that this was absolutely insulting.
bonuses
Once in a blue moon they will offer a bonus if an account is in severe backlog, but no regular incentive bonuses. They already pay pretty well, so I'm not too concerned about production bonuses.
Why would they pay bonuses when they don't pay OT?
 
Bonuses
Too many people such as you tend to feel they are ENTITLED to a bonus no matter what the economy is. You should be very thankful that you even have a job (even one you complain about at every opportunity) when so many people are so much less fortunate than yourself.
Quarterly bonuses
Are the quarterly bonuses still being offered for SE's and what about the SE's who have been here for years??
SE's still get quarterly bonuses
I still get quarterly bonuses as an SE..I also have gotten extra for tier work.  I dont know what that is all about, I havent asked (dont like dealing with the office much)..What I think, however, is as a part timer, if I do more than 6,000 lines/pay period, I guess I move to a higher tier.  I got approximately $30.00 extra a few pay checks ago.  It was listed on my pay stub.
6-8.5 cpl. Don't know about bonuses or benefits. nm
s
Signon bonuses
I agree. There are so many MTs flooding the marketplace, they do not need to offer bonuses. (Sadly enough.)
Thx. Do they have incentive or bonuses?
nm
Where did you read that about bonuses? nm

More TransTech bonuses
More Transtech bonuses: If less than 10% of reports goes to QA, you get 1/4 cent to line 1.

Also - shift differential & weekend differential to line 1.
MDI Maryland -- Bonuses?
It was my understanding that MDI does not have production incentives or bonuses. However, when I looked at their website it says this:

. . . And we show it to you through appreciation, excellent pay, bonuses and, more importantly, respect for your work.

Does any MDI MT have any info concerning the bonuses? I would appreciate it.
Saying that bonuses for quality sm

and production along with working what are for a lot of people unpopular shifts should not be making up for not being paid for headers/footers if the MT is doing the work to get that information.


A bonus paid for other things (not sending to QA, working midnights or reaching very high line counts while doing the other 2 things) should not be replacing pay lost, it should be IN ADDITION.


No bonuses that I'm aware of - s/m
Only been there a couple of months, though.  Schedule:  You pick either a Sun-Thu or Tue-Sat schedule.  You have a 24-hour window to make your daily line count.  Minimum required line count is 700 lpd.  Need a day off - just tell your supervisor.
Shall we bet these managers are getting a bonus to do this. I bet so. Wonder how many bonuses they
will get when everyone quits or they lose all the accounts. Do you think these managers ever did transcription. Give me a break.
Any Christmas gifts/bonuses from...
Any Christmas bonuses or gifts from Futurenet Technology?
spheris incentives and bonuses.....
When I worked there, they did not offer actual monetary bonuses or incentives. I did get a drop in pay from $12.50 an hour to $10.50 an hour and never understood that one, especially being a four-star quality employee. BUT...when I worked there, they did, especially around Christmas and New Year's, offer such things as Home Depot cards, etc. It was almost like having your name drawn out of a hat or playing the lottery. If you were online when they were ready to pick a winner, you just might win that card. I won many, many times..very easy (and fun). They used to pay for spaces, but I don't remember them paying for headers and footers. Base pay was not that great and never a raise. I got the raise when they were Edix, but they dropped me back when it became Spheris. Hope that helps.
I get it. The MTs should give our MTSOs bonuses!
Ho! Ho! Ho! I feel so bad for ya.
I've been forgotten again. Oh, well. Too bad these bonuses

incentives, beach parties,  and whatever else is going on at Transcend/MDI are only for their favorites.  The only way we know about them is a message with the backlogs saying what a great incentive party they had the day before. 


If they are going to reward their pets they need to keep it hush-hush when talking about it after the fact.   So much for MT appreciation - a broken coffee cup and a calendar and a hint that you are not good enough to participate in their fun things.   


 


 


MDI incentive holiday bonuses
Hi All,
I just want to set the record straight. Please read the e-mails from your TL or ROM concerning this.

We do have an incentive holiday bonus and I am very sorry that a lot of you on this post are not aware of it.

If anyone wants a copy of the e-mail please contact Deb or myself at Deb@medicaldictation.com or Liz@medicaldictation.com and we will be happy to resend it.

Those of you who know me, know that we truly value all of our MTs. We have no pets, although MTs on different platforms with different ROMs will get different e-mails about beach parties, etc. I will address this with the ROMs, cause it was a great idea by one of our ROMs.

I hope this clears up things. For the MT with the broken coffee cup, please let me know and we will re-send it.

MDI/Transcend knows that without our MTs MDI would not be in existence. We are very appreciative of all you do and how hard you guys work. You have to remember that Sue and I are MTs also.

Please e-mail me or call me if you want to talk.

Thanks a lot,
Liz


Does TransTech give bonuses or anything??
I got a strange deposit in my bank account and I can't figure out where it came from. My paycheck from them is in there and then there is a separate deposit from somewhere. Just maybe fantasizing that it might be a bonus? Anyone know? Or am I just dreaming.
They give QA bonuses also, but it would be on the same check.
nm
Why would Transtech give QA and not MT bonuses? ? ? ??? ? n/m

I guess it is because of so many new MT's coming and going.
