Not easy to make 1000 - lots of ESLs or time
spent looking up addresses, etc. They kept you on because they can't find anyone to put up with the low and steady income.
if easy platform and few ESLs, you'll do okay with same doctors daily.

Not so easy when you make top pay and work days and hours of

Pay is good, platform very easy. Got line count within days. (sm)
The people you work with/for are extremely helpful. There is an incentive plan which they will explain to you during interview process. No 401 match - that is a bummer. First year PTO only a few days, but picks up the next year.
Apply and have the recruiter go over it all with you. It is well worth the time.
Good luck.
That is what I just said. !0 days PTO, period. That includes vacation, sick days and personal days
They should have paid holidays so that you are paid if you take off. Also should inculde extra hours for sick days and personal days.
That annual raise of .002 is kind of a joke especially when at the same time they upped the minimum line requirement from 10,000 lines to 12,000 lines.
OSi just does not have the qualified people in management positions that I wish to work for.
I am glad that you are happy at OSi and all is working out for you. Their dishonesty and the way they treat people just does not work for me.
Of course they can get by cheaply by hiring unqualified people so that is very good for the owners.
Thanks. Yes I heard from others many ESLs and many very difficult ESLs. nm

Anyone know of a company, easy clinic work, easy Word format, dependable pay? Help!

1100-1400 lines/day?...sm
Try getting your facts straight before you decide to shoot down a company. Keep on wandering and you may find some unlucky company who would love to have your attitude.
Pay 8 cpl w/spaces for 1100 lpd, 8.5 cpl for 1400 lpd. nm

Hey, I do have a life, ya know. To do 1100-1400
nm
I love it. It is fast, easy to learn and easy to use.
ProScript only 8 cpl for 1100-1400 lines a day, THEN you go to 8.5 cpl. nm

I don't push like I did years ago - I usually get about 1300-1400 (sm)
If I push, I can get about 1600.
In 2005, they were offering 8 cpl up to 1400 lines a day. Over that,
s
Dunno. Recruiter told me 8 cpl w/sp. for 1100 lpd, 8.5 cpl if you do 1400 lpd. nm
f
ETrans doesn't hit 9 cpl until you're at 1400 lines a day. nm
s
Don't know but last year offered 8 cpl w/sps from 1100-1400 lpd. Then went to 8.5 if consistently
s
even if you are only doing 1400 lines a day at 8 cents a line that is still $15 an hour...
How many jobs are you going to get outside of the home making $15 an hour, especially in this economy and most parts of the country? That is only 175 lines an hour and most nationals expect at least 150 an hour, so that is not that much of a push. If you do 200 lines an hour, or 1600 lines a day, look at the raise and that is $16 an hour. This is also only making 8 cents a line, which by the time you are making over 1300 lines a day you probably are getting some sort of incentive, at least a lot of companies you do, and that would push this number up even more.
I used to be a graphic designer for many years and to this day pay for a good designer is only $12 to $14 an hour and you have to commute to the job, so how is it not realistic to make this type of money. I do not see where your logic is and if you are making so bad then maybe it is time to re-look at your profession and find something that is more a fit to you and make the money you deserve. I just do not see how making a minimum of $14 an hour is so unrealistic. Geez.
No flyer, but in 2005, they were only paying 8 cpl until you hit 1400 lpd. Any mention of

Last year offering 8 cpl w/spcs on 1100+ lpd, 8.5 cpl for 1400+ lines. nm

Not by the line but 1400-1500 radiology reports. 2-1/2 years. nm

Offered 8 cpl w/sp on 1100 lpd & 8.5 cpl on 1400 lpd. Bonuses on production for statutory emps.

Platform very easy and quick - easy to get used to. :)

You bill 30 days behind, and they snail mail it so it's late - about 40 days from invoice
No way jose - they even messed up their direct deposit payments
Maybe she/he works 14 hour days/7 days a week? nm

Would that be 5 business days or 5 regular days?
So when are we going to be paid this time around since you're so knowledgable?
Sorry, but for some of us a day or 2 actually makes a difference.
Most want 20 hours over 5 days, but it could be more, or it could be spread over 4 days. nm

Correction - TH has 5 PTO days 1st year/10 days 2nd yr

It is true. Any job has its good days and bad days.
Perhaps you'd like to just keep your old job and try this one out. Just because a poster here is crabbing about it, or even if as in the past there have been negative posts, odds are that there are very happy people who don't even post or know that this board exists. As Alice says. Everything is relative. The fact that this company is hiring and pays may be a place which is a blessing. As opposed to digging ditches on day labor for example. Or somebody might prefer digging ditches. This is just an example. Sometimes we who are employable, even though we don't make as much as we used to in this business, or as much as we would like to, we still if working at home do not pay for gas to go to work, career clothes, deal with office politics, have to look at a boss who writes us up if we are a minute late, etcetera. I don't make half as much as I used to, but I don't send my 3 children to day care which by the way saves us money. SO I remind my husband I am worth that in addition to my salary if I had a job outside. No job is perfect. I am not even sure if Focus is any good or not, I have not worked there. But if one poster says there are good days and bad, I say that is the most honest answer you are going to get anywhere, and if you need a job badly, how is it to hurt trying it out, until you know for sure for yourself? THanks for listening. But sometimes this board gets to be a bit much with the agendas of people railing on other people like the OP here who just wanted all opinions instead of just one side. Balance is always great. And, if things seem lop-sided, then it is a good thing to seek out both sides. IMHO.
I think they would. Those are good days for 10-hour days. sm
I have a set schedule but it is Tues-Sat and it works well for me. It wouldn't hurt to ask!
90 days is correct. 3 days off 1st year, 10 during 2nd.
nm
I average 1200-1400 lines per day with a national, and am only getting around 600-800 lines per day.
It's been this way since the day before Thanksgiving. I've been doing this for almost 30 years now, and more often than from Thanksgiving until the new year is the slowest time of the year. I have some months where I am swamped with up to 2000 lines per day. I stash that little extra money, and take advantage of a handful of extremely slow days this time of the year to actually cook dinner, decorate for Christmas, or do Christmas shopping. I actually anticipate this slow time every year and have grown to enjoy the breathing time. Any time I have attempted to pick up extra work with another company to supplement these slow times, the minute I get adjusted to the new accounts, etc. I have no time to finish all of my work because my full time job with national gets slammed again. Hang in there if you can, and hopefully your work will pick up significantly around New Years.
Were the 2 days weekend days? sm
They expect everyone to work a weekend day. Their definition of team player is to actually work 6 or 7 days a week. One might consider it if the pay was there & she gave out some decent work. It is the ideal place to work if you are a workaholic with no life.
11 days is more than you would get inhouse...usually 10 days.
We have the convenience of working at home and yet you want MORE than what inhouse positions offer?
Ask if those are calendar days or biz days too nm

ESLs
Arrrgh!!! Is there any company out there that has a minimal number of ESL dictators? This is my second week with a new company with a VA Clinic account that has to be at least 80% ESLs--I just cannot do them. If I have a good dictator I can transcribe them with no problem--even with the myriad of drugs I'm unfamiliar with. I'm on the verge of resigning. Thank Goodness it's Friday!!
RE: ESLs
It comes with the territory. Focus and try harder.
ESLs for Joy
Joy if you keep at it, you will become familiar with what ESLs are saying. It is like anything unfamiliar, allow yourself time to become familiar with the ESLs. It is difficult, but it come together for you if you keep trying. :)
ESLs...sm
There are maybe 3 doctors across the whole company that are ESLs. I don't know if someone confused the name of this company with another or if things were different in the past. But since you are not working in pools and there is very little ESL, you can request not do have to do them. Also, you are paid higher for the more difficult dictators, so it doesn't waste your time. But you are not "forced" to do anything awful, like some places I have worked before.
Out of all the nationals that I have worked for only 2 didn't have "clunky" software. There is better software and there is worse; the software here is in between.
There are no more ESLs at TT than ...
I have had at the other company's I have worked for and I have been at this for 25+ years.
ESLs
Just make sure you can type 100% ELS - and I mean, I haven't had an English speaking doctor now for DAYS. I have been doing this for nearly 15 years, and I have NEVER struggled like I am struggling with this account at Transcend ... I literally cannot understand a dang word these guys are saying, plus with the bold this, list that, don't do this, make sure to do this ... all I can say is, good luck. I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to be at Transcend. I'm losing money BIG TIME.
Many ESLs, but....
Many ESLs but most are good dictators. Most accounts are specific with what they want, how they want the set-up and format to be, etc. But once you get it down, you have it. FutureNet is an excellent company to work for. They have plenty of work, very flexible with your schedule, they do not bother you throughout the day (they just send an email about three times a day to let you know the account count for the evening), pay is ALWAYS ON TIME EVERYTIME....People are very nice and supportive. I have been there almost a year and I could not have found a better place. Everyone has their opinion, but my opinion of it is THEY CANNOT BE BEAT!  Hope this helps.
ESLs
As far as ESLs, it all depends what account you are assigned. Some hospitals have more ESLs than others, and I have also found that certains states have more ESLs than other states in the US.
I was on one account that had some wonderful ESLs. I actually preferred them over the American doctors who like to talk at 3,000 miles per hour. The ESLs seem to enunciate their words more clearly. Again, every company has ESLs; they are just part of the job.
Used to ESLs
I've done them my entire career and I don't know how any account wouldn't have them. I much prefer them over the fast-talking Americans.
ESLs
If you are going to try to avoid ESLs in this business, I would just avoid medical transcription all together!
ESLs
Not all ESLs are created equal..................the ESLs that I had experienced at SS were of Russian descent and that accent was tough to pick up. Mind you, I had 15 years in the business at that time, all aspects, all work types, and it was VERY difficult to pick up that accent. However, with samples and help, it can be done.
RE: ESLs
The ability to do ESLs is integral to being successful in this business. If you do not want to learn to do ESLs, you are severely limiting your chances of success. I have four huge hospitals, about 80 percent ESL, and that is perfectly fine with me. I always have work and always make great money.
I had ESLs too (sm)
Very poor sound quality. I was almost in tears myself. I left the company after trying my best. Everything I read was good, people were extremely nice, just hated the ESLs and poor quality I had, so I moved on. 
more ESLs?
I am wondering is it common for companies to give new employees the accts others don't want, or are they just trying to 'break us in' good?
ESLs
I still wouldn't just up and quit without asking someone for some samples or feedback. Take note of the people around us, we are no longer living in a world of just Americans. We have to expect that we are going to see more and more of this as time goes on. Best to make the adjustment and learn it now.
