This is just the first place I have worked where I do not have a specific pay day.  I feel kind of foolish sometimes when people ask me when I will be paid, and I say I'm not sure.  Plus, I am spoiled because when I first started, the line counts were automatic and we were paid within a couple of days.  Then, they apparently discovered some flaw in the program, so the line counts are done by hand now and it takes several days.   I never quite know how much I have done until I get the final line count that is sent to me, so that is something new for me as well.

Still, they are great people who care about the MTs, and the accounts are easy.  I would recommend them to anyone.  If I was in a better place financially, the pay day thing would not be of concern either.  I have always gotten paid ... never any question of that.  They are people of integrity. 

For anyone who has done acute care as long as I have, working for various teaching hospitals with literally hundreds of different dictators and tons of ESLs, working for CardioScribes is a breath of fresh air. 

how do you find jobs ?  Do not see a lot of postings for recruiters.  Thanks.

quit before I did due to lack of work.  There are some accounts that have a lot of work, but unless you can work on those accounts it isn't much of a help.  I had 3 accounts and with the rare exception of when there was a 2-week period of OT available, I was only getting maximum of 18 hours week.  I attempted working during all 3 shifts, working my days off and still couldn't get in my hours/lines.  I asked for more accounts, I was willing and able to work, the quality of my work was excellent and I received multiple e-mails from my STM stating how pleased they were with my work, so the excuse that I just couldn't cut it is BULL.  

I don't know what the work load is like since I left, but I do know what it was like when I was there and there just wasn't work on my 3 accounts and anyone could see the numbers on the updates and see there were accounts that had tons of work, but there were many accounts with low numbers too.  We were also told that under no circumstances would we be paid for downtime.

My current company has had some days where work may not have been available on your shift to complete your line committment, but they pay us for any downtime and we don't have to worry about trying to make it up on a different shift or our days off.  The pay is probably less than what we would make transcribing, but is a generous amount. 

I have worked for companies that were much worse than WMX, but currently work for one much better.   When someone asks how things are there I am honest in my assessment as I see them, but usually get negative posts in return about how I'm not willing to take on more accounts and my work isn't good enough, etc.  That is all BULL.

If anyone goes back and read the archives there are many similar posts to mine that were not made by me. 

If you have lots of work, have a good STM, and are happy well I'm happy for you, but because someone else has a different story doesn't mean they are a bitter ex-employee who just couldn't cut it.  

I was hired in at a big national. I was warned on this board about this company overhiring and running out of work,but I felt I had to give it a chance. Well, after  the first week of training was over, I have literally ran out of work everyday and requested a back up account, which I only received 4 hours pay of training to do. Now, the primary and secondary account is out of work, and in order to make any money I have to stay up until midnight to make up hours if the work is available. If the work is not available, I have to fill out a nonpaid PTO request. I have only been with the company a little over 4 weeks and I cannot believe this is happening. I barely made 42 hours last week and will have a small check yet again this pay. I have had it, I have finally learned to not put all my eggs in one basket and have obtained an IC position with another company and a full-time editing job with another company to keep a pay check coming in. My question is, how do I quit this job with no work? What do I tell them? I do not want to be rude or leave in a bad standing. How do I quit after less than 6 weeks on the job. I have to quit because my bills are backing up. Any suggestions on what to say to quit with tact would be appreciated.

Thank you all.

later I am a temporary employee at Walmart for 6.00/hr.  Still more than I was making at my production job but how humiliating. 

weekends and holidays, it is clinic work, and I do not think any of the accounts work on the weekends, but I could be wrong.  The work you get on Friday is due back on Monday morning.  You might submit your resume anyway.  The lead MT handles the hiring, and she is great.  Perhaps you could work something out.  I only work part-time, and I cannot really speak for the company, but feel free to email me if you have any other questions, and I will help if I can.

Good luck!

have not been working for nearly 2 years....just wondering what companies are out there these days that are hiring.....any suggestions appreciated....thanks

I was just wondering if any of you out there had ever gone back to work for a company that you had worke at before.  What was your experience in doing so?  Is it worth looking into?

Thanks for any help.

I was just reading the posts below about leaving work for other people if the work is low.  I cannot imagine sitting here and not working if there is work because someone else might not have work to do when they want it.  When I take a job, they tell me that I am required to do x number of lines a day and I usually tell them, well I require myself to do x number of lines a day (always way more than what they require), and I expect that every day when I work that I get MY requirement.  Now, I stop when I get my requirement, but I am most definitely not going to stop at their requirement just because the work is low. 

I love my fellow MTs, but I also love to pay my bills on time, I love to have my spending money, I love to pay for what I want, I love to eat - are they going to share their money with me just because I left them work? 

And I also do not expect them to leave me work just because the work is low. 

because the file is a very small fraction of the size of a voice file.  A voice file is huge, but a text file is small in comparison, so doesn't take near as long to transmit. 

After the first file is downloaded though you can work, so it isn't like you are just sitting waiting for them to download.  When I had dial-up I would set to download and then go take my shower.
