I had asked which companies did not require working Saturday or Sunday.  Thanks for your help!
Company is not Ascend, but Ascend is
famous for not paying on time. 
What happened to my post with an inquiry for companies that have clinic work available in the

mornings (not in the afternoons or evenings)?  I did not think there was anything inappropriate in my message and thought it was on the correct board.  Thanks.


Ascend

Ascend
Yea but Jay is really bad about this.  He's got a bad reputation.  I feel for your friend.
Ascend
Was your friend an IC or employee? If IC, wage an hour won't help.
Ascend
Does anyone working for Ascend have any info on them?  Thanks a lot.
Ascend
I would appreciate information about Ascend.  Thank you.
Ascend
Has Ascend management improved?
Ascend
I worked for them several years ago.  The problem I had with them was bounced and late paychecks.  Last I heard, this was still a recurring issue with them.  Unless something has changed as of recent, it is a foreign-owned company as well.
Ascend anyone?
ANY information would be great before I apply. I saw some bad posts a while back, but has this cleared up or are they still foreign-owned and bouncing checks?
Ascend
So Ascend paids on time now?
Ascend
Any new information on Ascend?  Are they still having the same problems I've seen in the archives regarding pay issues?  Thinking about applying.  TIA.
Ascend
I just accepted an offer with Ascend today!!! Do they pay or not???
Ascend
I worked for them through last year as MT/Editor. Made $0.10 for STAT and $0.06 for editing. Pay on time, enough work but some tough accounts. I left because of family problems. No major problems.
Anyone here work for Ascend?
I know they outsource, have done a search and read the info there, but what's the scoop NOW? Thanks!
Ascend info

I need to the real specifics on this company before I accept their offer.  The pay they are stating is within reason.  Does their accounts consist of ESL doctors?  Does any of their paychecks bounce?  Please help, thanks.  Good bless the hurricane victims.


Can't swear but think she is with Ascend.

Ascend feedback
Does anyone work for Ascend?  Love it?  Dislike it?
Ascend Company
Has anyone worked for the Ascend Company or know anything about them?
Ascend Payment
I am working for Ascend now for three uears. They have a policy of each 15 day pay period paid 15 days after the period is closed. If the disbursement date is on week end it will get delayed. I never had an issue and I average about $0.12 per line.

There are folks who do not complete their paperwork or do not submit their production data on time do get their pay delayed.

Ascend also gave me a loan last year and subtracted agreed upon installment from my earned wages.

I like working for them. Plenty of work, good pay.
Like Ascend. There is an off-shore
connection and the owner is ESL. 
ASCEND HEALTHCARE
They pay 6 cents per line. I am training there in QA, but there are a lot of administrative details...

Any updated info on Ascend?
I know they have a good pay rate, but have they started paying their employees?

Ascend is not the company being discussed

Any current ASCEND employees?
I would like to hear from any current Ascend employee.  How is the work and are they truly paying on time?  Do they have direct deposit?  Thanks!
My understanding is that Ascend is making efforts
to pay those who have not received a check as yet.  If you have questions, please feel free to email me as I have been working with the owner regarding non payment issues.  Thanks, Administrator.
Has Ascend paying on time improved?
I see Ascend is needed radiology Transcriptionist and I just want to know if things are changed since the archives I have read.
Ascend Healthcare info and suggestions

Any info out there on Ascend Healthcare? Any suggestions on a great company to work for when one is just looking for part-time IC status employment?


Ascend - Forwarn - Do Not Work for this Company

I have worked for several medical transcription companies over the years and have found Ascend Healthcare to be the worst company, by far, to work for.


A very-very negative atmosphere . .


No direct deposit available. .


Constant idol threats . .


Holds checks for 2 weeks after each pay period ends.


A lot of heavy ESL . . and very hard dictators.


Management - Backstabbers


Penalties are sometimes assessed for errors; docking $ money from paycheck


The list goes on and on . . . .


Ascend, almost all the Sten-Tel franchises, Spheris, Transdyne

Ascend owner is Indian and there are TONS of ESLs
NM
Does Ascend acute care require C-phone?
nm
Ascend is advertising pay at 11 cpl. Didnt they have problems paying or is that resolved.
Inquiring minds need to know.
I didn't care for Ascend's platform...very time consuming
and no paid training
My post should say the post above not the post below, Sheryl's post to be specific. nm
