sounds like other companies, pretty much. nm

This sounds pretty standard to me
and not at all unusual for a national to offer.
Sounds pretty fishy, to me. - sm
What would the patients' meeting their deductibles have to do with anything?
The hospital telling MTSO & MTs not to log on would make me nervous. Could be they're just about to lose that account.
At the very least, I'd be putting feelers out there for other possible job opportunities. $42/pay period is unacceptable, as is being told to 'be patient'. Will your creditors 'be patient' when you can't pay them? I don't think so.
Somewhere along the line, people who employ MTs seem to have forgotten that this isn't just a HOBBY with us - we're trying to make an actual living at this.
This sounds like a pretty good deal, especially if....sm
you are making $$. You can always contribute to an IRA that will be tax deductible at end of year. Sometimes going to a company for the benefits doesn't pay off - ask me: I tried it twice in the past month, only to quit both jobs after about 1 payroll period as it became obvious that they either didn't know how to do payroll correctly, or that the lines weren't correct (even though they claimed to pay for hdrs/footers/spaces etc!).
I would sure like to know where you work - I'm an EXText-er myself and want just PT. Care to share???? Thanks!!
Wow, sounds pretty impressive. Do you mind sharing sm
how much per line you get regular time? Do you get a daily incentive bonus?
All companies are pretty much the same, unfortunately. sm
Some are better in different areas and worse in others and vice versa! Just gotta go with the company you can make money with and forget about the rest of the nonsense!
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?
It's been pretty consistent for me, but I work for two companies and type several doctors
and even with that, sometimes it gets slow, and then when it picks up, it is really hectic. It's so hard with this type of work to get it just right :)
Are there other companies that use SE status and DQS other than MQ.Sounds like MQ has maxed out.
:
Sounds like TTS - Most companies using eScription run out of work often. nm

sounds like mgmt from 1 of the companies in message to me.

Sounds like a load of bull to me. Some companies have old
reports that you can look up in their system. My company has samples from various docs posted in a database, other companies will fax/e-mail you samples. I find it hard to believe that all those companies are in violation of privacy issues.
sure sounds swell. Sounds like 2350 ln/day @ 4 cents/ln=$90./day
in order to figure how many line needs to be produced to make $500 per pay period. ie, how many lines an hour needed per 8 hour day --at your rate.
So say $450 a week would be $90 a day.
For example, if making 4 cents a line,need 2,250 lines a day, 281 an HOUR (to listen through and edit) to make this great wage of $90. a day FOR ALL THIS SAME SKILL, TO KEEP UPDATED WITH CHANGING MEDICAL COMMUNITY. nope Better at Jack-in-Box Pass it up.
Sounds like it and it sounds like you must tell them when they will be and no change them. Wonder
what you do when there is no work. Well, there will be a lot of problems with this whole plan if they dont get things straightened out with this no work situation.
Must be pretty far SM
I've worked for them for 2 years and never a problem.
Pretty Bad
I have no interest in working for Keystrokes, but had to check out their new and improved benefit package. It is pretty bad unless you are unlucky enough to have a couple of deaths in the family.
You could say that about pretty much every co.
You know what they say about opinions...I have seen just about every major national company being asked about on these boards at one time or another and there are always people who will have negative things to say about them. On the other hand, there are always people who will say positive things as well. The only thing you can do is educate yourself about each company by going to their website and contacting the company directly to get answers. Otherwise, it's all a lot of hearsay. JMO
I appreciate that!! I am pretty used to getting
flamed for not-so-positive comments so you are a breath of fresh air!! I hope they work out for you, I really do. I was one who loved Spheris until, well, I guess I should not say, but I hated MQ, so I guess we have both BTDT. Good luck to you, too:) I really think I have found mine with this company that just hired me. Sure hope so:)
That's pretty bad...
most editors I know make way more than that.
Most of them do, I am pretty sure.
nm
They pretty much
change things to suit themselves.... not the mt
Pretty sure they do, I have seen their
banner across a board....
Pretty much par for this course, it seems. nm
nm
Pretty much
It is very difficult to go after foreign entities due to cost and resources. I won't work for one ever. This is why many con artists in different countries get away with it. There is not much we can do.
Pretty sure
for some reasons with all the new accounts for administrative reasons they felt easier to catagorize that way. It is all one company and everything is the same. Only the accounts are designated 1 and 2.
Thanks, that's pretty much what
I am getting from everyone I ask. I just thought with them being as big as they are maybe they would have better benefits and a better rep. Thanks!
I'm pretty new
at TT myself. I've only been there a few months, but I'm very happy working for them. Have any of you asked to be taken off an account and given a different one? There are times when I really struggle with my account, and I wonder what would happen if I asked for a different one? I'm a little nervous though...what if the newer account is more of a struggle? I would be anxious about learning a new account too. Sigh. Any thoughts? Thanks!
i think that is pretty low
look elsewhere. did you try looking for jobs on mtdaily.com they have many legitimate firms looking for workers.
Pretty please.
nm
I am pretty sure you do
need a USB.
I think I pretty much said it all, but if you have
specific questions you can e-mail me.
Im pretty sure this is it. SM

Seems pretty low to me. NM
SE and IC are pretty much the same - sm
The only difference is with SE you get part of the tax paid, whereas IC you pay it all. You have no benefits with an SE status except being able to set when you want to work, that's it. You do get to have the same tax deductions with the SE as an IC would have too.
It has been pretty low for at least the last 3
months at my company. Some accounts will dump a bunch of work on Saturday and then we have OT for 2 days, and then not enough work during the week. We do get paid for downtime though, so it isn't as bad as most have it.
I think I have everything pretty
well summed up. I did basically what just my opinion has done, summed up all the points that everyone had given me. I found a couple of more stats on how many more MT's are going to be added in India at a couple of different companies in the next 18 months.
I do have to mention when I first started talking to this reporter he knew already about the lawsuit with the Q infact he brought it up.
So stand-by I think we have it summed up. I will post a link to the story so everyone can read it.
Thanks for all your help, I couldn't have done it without the group effort.
TransTech and Medware, are these companies considered large, medium-sized or small companies? (sm)
TIA
has been pretty much on time for me
I've been with SoftScript for over a year and have only had my check deposited late a couple of times. It was deposited early an equal amount of times. Apparently if all timesheets would have been done on time, checks would have been sent out and deposited today.
I was told I had to have pretty much a
Giving hours when I would be working and all. Then again, I was 'interviewed' by a clerical type who didn't even know what the BOS is.
Pretty sure Medware still does. xx
xx
pretty flexible
I've found them to be pretty flexible, so long as you put in at least 35 hours a week. I was just saying in some other thread that I can knock off two hours early if I want so long as the hours all balance out at the end of the week.
If you're wondering about clocking in and out for breaks, it's really to your benefit to do that, as you'll get a better line count.
it was pretty calm
for a while, but it was like everything went nuts today for some reason. Then I remembered it's Fri. the 13th and the moon's full. Maybe there's something to that luna tic stuff.
wow, this is a pretty small
x
Yes, it was pretty easy. nm

pretty close to DQS
a little different
pretty soon KS will need their own forum like MQ
s
I am pretty sure it is .08 for transcription, .04 for
editing, and you will most likely be moved to VR editing.
Well that seems pretty painless, sm
I'd love to hear what your experience is with them since you were offered a position. Feel free to e-mail me if you'd like.
Thanks again!
That is pretty strange...
that with your years of experience Axo offered you 7 cents!! I have 10 years total MT experience and they offered me 9.5 to start and said after 30 days they would review and possibly bump it up to 10...
That is the thing that really irks me about this transcription business. There really isn't any standard as far as pay goes and it seems you just have to get lucky to get a good line rate....I've had other places offer me anywhere from 6 cents up. No way I am working for 6 cents... 
I feel pretty much the same way.
The company I worked for before didn't pay on time but it was good money. Got tired of fighting for my paycheck, so I left. When I started with this new company things were going well. Once I got up to speed I got smacked with ESL, marble mouths and 20 minute dictation that ends up being 1 page because of mumbling, stumbling, etc. I'm looking outside of MT positions, but until I find something, I'll hang in there. --
It's pretty obvious this is
if so, they should spend this much time and energy fixing the problems with the company...
Pretty good
They are really flexible on my shift. I am working a split shift until school starts in the fall. But, all in all I think I like getting my shift done in one setting. The hospital that I work has very few ESLs too. I am happy so far. I would recommend them to work for.
