Very high turnover rate at this company (sm)

You have to ask yourself why do they lose so many employees. This is not an MT oriented company. I would say that they constantly advertise because they regularly lose MTs.

Actually, a high turnover rate more likely means
that the GOOD MTs are staying put and the MTs who had to cheat on their test and/or lie during their interview, have no experience, or are just job hoppers tend to run off when they can't hack the accounts they have been assigned.
A high turnover rate means all the good MTs
leave and only MTs left at the company are probably the ones who had trouble getting the job they have let alone leaving to find a new one. That's what a high turnover rate means. Not to mention, why would anyone want to work for a company with a high turnover rate? Something's wrong if people keep leaving.
It's called logic and deductive reasoning. And some people in this neck of the cyber woods are sorely lacking in both.
High turnover rate? I don't think so. I have worked with the same group sm
for the past 2 years and the only change has been that the account got busier and 5 or 6 people were added. Keystrokes is a great company, and they do a lot for all of us.
High turnover rate with good reason; email for info.

High turnover.......
I live in New Jersey and this is a not a good company to work for....read the old posts about this company in the Archives. Not a good company....
Very high turnover....
They always keep running the same ad every 3 weeks or so, so that should tell you something about them. I did not like testing for them at all, so I just gave up! Horrible dictators.
High turnover of MTs. Inconsistent workload. SM
I have a friend who works there. I've resisted the urge to join her because she hates it, but it pays well. The owner can't seem to manage workflow and threatens MTs with cutting them off if they don't work extra. Now that makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? I don't need the hassle. Proceed with caution.
Reason for high turnover of MTs I guess

How do you know there is high turnover? The companies I have worked for get new accounts. sm
They hire because of having more work, not because their current MT's are leaving.
Some of the companies hire constantly because of turnover but most do because of growth.
The BS that MQ has done over the past few years has opened up a lot of new business for many good companies and it looks like that will continue for a while until CBay either runs it to the ground or converts all the accounts they possibly can.
MQ-New Testing for high tier pay rate
one more thought for the evening on the tier pay rates
are these rates for new hires or will our rate of pay be adjusted according to the stated tier
and does the testing only apply for new hires
any where on the packet does it actually state what your present rate is and if not, and all the packets being sent out are the same, why were we all called--do we have to sign anything and send it back to MQ and when does all this go into effect
thanks for all your help
That would be high line count not rate. Sorry about that. NM

For Escription I think 4 to 4.5 base rate, which seems to be on the high
end of the scale that companies pay for Escription editing. Hope that helps.
Don't know about turnover but new clients coming on board - GREAT company
High line rate versus possible lines per hour....
I'd like your opinions... I think it's more important to be able to produce a high line count than what your actual cents per line rate is. $0.10/line means nothing to me if I have to struggle to produce 200 lines per hour because of their format or platform. I'd rather make $0.07/line if I can count on producing 500 lines per hour.
Just something to think about when you interview with a potential employer who tries to dazzle you with a high line rate. I always ask about the average line counts and if they have auto-populated headings. We don't get paid for auto-populated headings (which can make a significant difference in our line counts), yet I'm sure the service bills the hospital for them.
I misread that, phew! I couldn't believe the offshore rate was THAT high (yet anyway). nm

Pays per page, top rate less than what I made 10 yeasr ago, benefits high
.
Is there any company that doesn't have high ESL now days? nm
.
Good company. Pays higher than many. Very high
Pay is always on time (early if payday is on a holiday). Good transcription software. Approachable, friendly management. Benefits okay. (Blue Cross). Also eye & dental. 401K that they also contribute to. Pretty much straight typing, not much in the way of templates. VR in place on some accounts. Currently MT has the choice of using it or not. All in all, I'm satisfied with working there.
I'm high level 4, all acute care, high ESL, many years exp. and highest QA grades...
In case you are wondering...All acute care, all specialties. I request new accounts, and yet they all run out of work...not just during usual slow periods...
I'm original poster and a high level 4 as well with high ESL accts, which I've always had...sm
My accts (10+) for the previous 12 years were all in the LA area. I consider ESL at Webmedx easy, even though my WebmedX accts are supposed to be high ESL. ALL of my STMs accounts are low on work--quite low. I've added more accounts. Not helpful if all are low in work. My supervisor at MQ was more helpful than my Webmedx STM.
High insurance costs are a national problem, not just in MT. My husband's company sm
charges us $210.00 per paycheck for him, me and our 2 children. The deductible is $500, each visit costs us $25, prescriptions are $10 for generic and $25 for everything else. It is getting crazy everywhere.
Get off your high horse for crying out loud. She did not mention that it was a transcription company

Employee assistance is available to support all staff and their family members at no cost. This confidential service addresses a variety of issues that may affect the quality of your work or personal life including stress, depression, anxiety, grief and relationship conflicts
Maybe YOU should do some research before you jump all over somebody. WHen a person just mentions a name, it doesn't necessarily mean a transcription company.
WebMedX is a good company. Decent pay for high level acute care
They have excellent account managers and a great QA dept. The platform is really quite easy with the improvements they have made, and they are constantly working to make it even better. Everything is geared to making the MT's job easier. I have been with WMX for over a year and I am quite pleased with them.
They are not MT, but general transcription. Pay not very high. at least not as high as MT work.x

Does your company pay all MTs the same rate?
Which company?
Rate this company
Does anyone work for InScribe???
rate company
test
Our company has a set hourly rate that
you are paid and your time accumulates just like any other job. 1-5 years we get 2 weeks plus holidays, 5-10 3 weeks, over 10 years 4 weeks.
also seem to have turnover as well - nm

Thanks! I wonder if the keep their MTs or have a big turnover. Seems
like people dont stay very long.
IC is the one who offers a rate and the company accepts

Poll: What % of base rate does your company pay for ME?
MQ - 70% of base rate for ME.
My company ups the line rate for several months SM
while we learn. Then on our own. This all really relates to how good a system your company has and how smooth the progression is with your account, which also relates to how good a supervisor you have. Mine is very good.
I'm trying to understand, is everyone upset over VR or drop in pay due to VR? I assume it's the later.
I would really say to at least give it a try. I'm not management.
I'm not even sure how much longer MT will be in existence. If you want to ride this thing out, get used to VR.
Heavy turnover
Big turnover on this account. They constantly advertise. Look elsewhere.
Is this a new account or just turnover etc?
?
Great company with good rate offer
nice people in the management too.
They have a huge turnover in office as sm
well as MTs. Someone gets fired at least every 3 months. Big into power game playing. Do it this way or else. Yes, very disorganized and someone is talking behind your back all the time.
Major turnover with new pay scale...
hmm...I wonder why!
They offshore. They lie. They have enormous turnover.
Mainly because people don't heed the warnings and work for them anyway and then end up quitting right away because the warnings were right.
They employ somewhere around 900 American MTs and around 3800 Indian MTs. They had a big shake up back in may and fired a bunch of QA people and some management people as well. My facts are straight as I got it straight from the horses' mouths.
Focus has a tremendous turnover. Their
management/tech support is largely Indian. I would not put Focus on my list of companies to consider.
Anyone currently working for DSG know if they have a large turnover of MTs there and how is it
to work there at the present time. Just looking!
Worked out to a pretty good hourly rate, just not the right company for me. nm

I am looking for a company where I can work as an IC for good lph rate part-time...
I am needing to supplement my income, as I am the sole provider for my family due to hubby recovering from illness. I would like to find a good company with good pay (9-11 cpl), part-time employee status or IC, hopefully providing all necessary equipment. I have been searching the archives all day and have not come up with any other than Webmedx, but it sounds as if I would be doing mostly ESL to make the higher lph. I could possibly come up with the PC if I needed to. I have 8 years acute care experience. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. If you don't feel comfortable posting, I have included my e-mail address. Thanks much in advance for all your help 
If this company begins with D, your pay goes back to new-hire rate if there are ANY blanks in it

I left MQ after years and went with a highly rate company on this board (sm)
my account has dried up and I am constantly out of work now...same with backup account. I like the company I'm with and don't want to leave but I HAVE to have a steady account. I realize there are slow times of the year but on this account they have overhired and now it's low a lot of the time.
The hospital may pay a line rate to the VR company based on usage...nm

webmedix- I have 25 years exp., was offered low rate of pay. Heard it is a good company. nm

Huge turnover at OSi. They have lost most of their good employees and are
Me thinks this nutcase is asking and answering questions here hoping to get people to apply.
Check the archives here on OSi....bad news!!!
I miss YOG also! Good company, great line rate, and awesome account.

Frequent turnover, offshore big time. Read the archives, lots of info on them. nm
for MQ STAT employees tier rate applies to ME rate as well and how calcluated?
for a STAT MQ employee: Does anyone know if the tier rate is going to be applied to the ME rate as well or are they going to go with the 80% of the MT rate for each tier level? If the tier rate doesn't apply as well to the ME rate then going by the 80% of the MT rate is less than if the tier rate would be applied. I'm sure that MQ is going to go by whatever keeps money in their pockets. Guess this is a question for the supervisor tomorrow.
