Had trouble getting paychecks a while back.
Don't know how it is now.
Most generally lots of people on here to start trouble????
Bringing this back up from below posted by Babe People come here to get advice, and seeking opinions on companies good or bad. Sure, there are a few bad apples that will not be happy anywhere they go but I think most of us all want the same thing, an honest and good company to work for. To post only the positive would be great, but then as we all know, there are companies that do their advertising right here posing as MTs, only to find out later when we get burned and have to start the entire process of testing and bouncing yet to another job. You are either very naive about the MT world we live in today, or more likely you are a company official that doesn't like anything negative posted about your company, specially when its lots of it. I don't think anyone is stupid enough to believe everything they see here, but if you see a lot of specifics about a particular company and you experienced it yourself, then you have to give that some credibility and back that person up - this could be good information or bad information. My assessment of KS personally is that I have not seen anything that would sway me in any way. Any information I have seen here leaves me as feeling neutral.I think people just want an honest opinion, thats all. I guess you perceive a negative post warning about another company's ripoff techniques starting trouble Hmmm.. makes me wonder what chair you're sitting in, sure don't sound like an MT.
Yes, it did occur to me and that's why I WAS polite...(sm)
unlike the poster who followed me! I too had to learn how to search the archives and that's why I explained how to do it. But, since we get the same question several times a week it is certainly not rude to post exactly how to search. I've never seen it explained here and thought that someone should take the time to do so.
On the other hand there have been so many questions on Focus - on a weekly basis, and sometimes two or three times a week, asking other users to search is not rude.
Did it ever occur to you this was intentional???
DUH!!! You Brainiac!!!!
Did it ever occur to anyone that this gal is EXCITED about her
.
Did it ever occur to you to call **** or someone who can actually help you? sm
Makes no sense to me to come to this board and continually B&M -- be proactive. Talk to the office, if they cannot or will not help you, find another job. You are wasting your time here, and making yourself look bad in the process. It seems that you just want to whine and bash a company rather than doing something to actually make your situation better.
Did it ever occur to you that MAYBE THEY DIDN'T KNOW???? SM
That possibly they were lied to by the account?? Why would they pay to train you and upgrade all the equipment if they knew in advance that the facility would move completely to editing their own work.
As for not being told, where were you people when the multiple conversations took place? On Mars?
Along with some other things to occur recently.
Lots of communication regarding 401K roll-out with discretionary match, but no word on other items we would like to hear about that is important to MT's.
Did it ever occur to you to skip over those posts? Duh.
Well, Cleopatra queen of denial - ever occur to you that if someone
this industry has gone down the toilet and there are so few companies worth even working for these days? You're amazingly misguided, but whatever gets you through.
Yikes!!! Excuse me. All I did was ask who the company might be. Did it occur to you that there are
some companies we might choose NOT to apply with, or have applied already with and turned down an offer, or just not interested in a particular company. Who said you were covering anything up??? I prefer to apply with companies that I WANT to apply with, not with a mystery employer. I'm giving out personal information and have a right to know who it is going to. Someone is very defensive. What did I ever do to you!!!!
Oh for heavens sake! Did it occur to you that maybe she left there for a reason? She
addressed that when she came to Transtech and emphatically that she was not interested in offshoring and they are not going to offshore. Sheesh! She worked for ONE company that offshored and she left that for a reason (didn't like offshore).
Benes
WebMedX is less expensive and although Medware's ins. is okay, WebMedX is better, IMO. You can ask their recruiters - they will give you that information. They understand you need to make an informed decision. I've worked for both companies.
I get 11 cpl but still wish I had benes..nm
.
How's the pay/benes? Do they
pay for spaces, headers/footers, demos, etc.? I wish we had a chart that showed who pays for what & their average pay range... ;)
Only FT and must get 1100 lines for the PP. .sm
Only the above. If you fall below the 1100 minimum for the pay period, you lose out on both PTO and internet reimbursement. I'm nott there any more, but was there 2+ years, first on FT who couldn't quite get up to the 1100 lines (guess why? combination of little/no work at the time as well as lousy 99% ESL account.So then I literally got pushed into PT status, where I had to pay everything and watch everyone else get PTO and their ISP reimbursed but still made lines close to FT but took twice as long. Nice deal, huh??
An ad here from April said FT job w/benes, but pay is said to be low and
s
Benes for less than 35 hours
S.O.A.P. does. Great to work for too!
With 10+ yrs, 9 cpl is okay as an employee with benes,
but not good as an IC. You can do better than that.
What are the benes like at Focus?
(Specifically, for QA/QC/auditors.) How much PTO do you get, is health insurance expensive, etc. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
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
s
Hey, I do have a life, ya know. To do 1100-1400
nm
Sorry - yep 1100 per day or 5500 per pay period
nm
1100 lines in 40 hours, must be the -- sm
dictator(s) of our dreams! And this is just for actual transcription, but what part of the 40 hours does the other work fall into, the demographics, emails, look-ups, re-dos, re-listen, twiddling thumbs while doc is asleep or browsing the charts, etc.
Use ExText software, 150 lph to get benes, pay is 7.4-10 cpl. nm
b
Don't know about benes, but some places inside
SPI/Cymed (32 hrs?? maybe). Opti-Script (min. of 35 hrs), Northeast Transcription (32 hrs/1000 lpd, but pay on 70-char. lines at 7-8 cpl). Transolutions (32 hrs), SOAP Transcription (32 hrs), and Med-Scribe, Florida (35 hrs). This is not recently dated information and may have changed since last obtained. nm
Yes, they offer benes, std 90-day wait....sm
Insurance very affordable. Pay on time, direct deposit. Seem to have plenty of work and set you up with more than 1 account as necessary. DVI platform.
The letter said that the STM has the discretion to not let your benes be s/m
affected. I would not take that as gospel in this day and age.
Wanted to add, that's as an employee with benes.
x
Yes, and also figured into that is the loss of benes,
sick days, PTO, insurance, etc., that you would get with employee status.
ProScript only 8 cpl for 1100-1400 lines a day, THEN you go to 8.5 cpl. nm
.
Do know either question, but I was offered 8 cpl on 1100 lpd with experience. You get 8.5 cpl if U
m
I feel lucky if I get 1100 lines a day. I was doing sm
at least 1500 a day on DocQscribe.
1100 lines a day which is EASY to meet sm
I am fairly fast, but I got that 1100 on MY VERY FIRST DAY!!!
Lines are easy to get and I have so much work, it is unreal. I can and want to go all day and past it. I still have 4.75 hours to make up this week, but the work is holding at a high level and they are so low stress, I am not tired right now after 9.5 hours today, just want a break for a bit and a hot meal, then back to it.
I can't say enough good things about this place, I just can't.
Good line rate, benes and ins.
Have been with Webmedx a while and they offer BCBS, Delta Dental, disability and life ins, plus PTOs. Line rate, supervision, work platform and company are all awesome in my book. Been an MT for 20 years....Good luck. Hope this helps.
Old posts had them starting at 6 cpl and topping out at 9 cpl. Don't know about any benes. nm
s
Dunno. Recruiter told me 8 cpl w/sp. for 1100 lpd, 8.5 cpl if you do 1400 lpd. nm
f
When there is a lot of work, do you find it hard to make 1100?
cause I sure do.
Don't know but last year offered 8 cpl w/sps from 1100-1400 lpd. Then went to 8.5 if consistently
s
Seems fair, especially if there is a 90 day waiting period for benes just like a new hire. nm
.
Last year offering 8 cpl w/spcs on 1100+ lpd, 8.5 cpl for 1400+ lines. nm
s
I applied recently. They want 1000 lpd, use an FTP site. Didn't say anything about benes for FT.
g
Pay offered last year was 8 cpl/w on 1100 lpd. Some posters said they lost all their good accts
s
Offered 8 cpl w/sp on 1100 lpd & 8.5 cpl on 1400 lpd. Bonuses on production for statutory emps.

1100 lpd for FT, good sound quality, ExText software, LOTs of ESLs..nm

QT paychecks
Question for current QT employees who have their checks direct deposited but when are they due to go into the bank? I have lost track of the DD dates after recently having moved and want to make sure that my check goes into the bank. I know check from the 15th went in approximately 7/21, but one of the office gals said hers was already posted and want to check before I call the office tomorrow -- thanks
Did anyone ask if we would be getting our last paychecks at QT? sm
I totally forgot to ask if they would mail them out right away since we received little notice or if payday would be normal date or not at all?
Paychecks
Not like that anymore. If you want direct deposit, yes, they do charge, but it's reasonable. Better than waiting on a paper check. Pay is ALWAYS on time.
Re: JLG paychecks
Just a thought but what about having your check sent either Fed Ex or UPS? There was a company that I worked for and for a fee, they sent my check to my home. Since I had some problems with UPS delivering my check to me in a timely manner, we finally ended up having it sent directly to the bank and it was deposited like a direct deposit.
