No shift diff??
I've ALWAYS gotten a 2nd shift differential in Ohio...wow, that's not fair to U.
Very few. More often a 2nd or 3rd shift diff will

Transtech does have shift diff's for 2nd, 3rd,
Don't know cost of family insurance.

How much is family ins at Trantech, is there a shift diff?

What is the shift diff for 2nd & 3rd shifts, weekend? Thanks!

I had a friend who worked there on a split shift yet (sm)
I was told I could only work my shift hours, no more, no less. I guess it just depends on what kind of mood they are in the day you are hired.
Which companies offer PTO for part time employee status, along with contributing 401K, shift....sm
 differentials, and incentive based pay plan? I think I covered it all. Mostly looking for PTO as a part time employee. Thanks for your replies.
To CMTs out there (sm)
Have you taken the updated CMT test - the one updated around 2006-07? Any resources/sites/books you suggest to brush up on dental terms? I have the updated Stedman's Plastic Surg ENT/Dentistry book, but I just don't feel I have enough dentistry experience to pass that dentistry-related questions. Any info is much appreciated.
Umm, maybe the people that truly are CMTs? DO you think

The *American* AAMT now giving memberships/CMTs to foreign MTs....
Shouldn't they at least change the name to UN-AMT or something like that! lol
This is true. Shift does matter. I work 2nd shift and really have not had any issues with not havi

I did that, wasn't printed. It seems like we are the only ones who care.

Again I say, was that from dictation or the printed word? nm

I have the above in printed info that the recruiter sent me before testing, which I did NOT take. nm

3rd shift radiology can be like that. Feast or famine. Same with 3rd shift sm
ER work. Sometimes the doctors are too busy to dictate, so they do it at the end. Why don't you talk to them and ask about a different shift?
Mine wasn't worth the plastic it was printed on.
It says it's activated and there's a balance available but it's been declined every time I try to use it.
To my own knowledge, it is less, B&W character is just the actual printed out characters..sm
that appear on the page, NO SPACES, etc, so it could really add up, I have never taken a jot with those specs, perhaps someone out there doing this could say how they made out? But I have talked to recruiters about some of these jobs and it does seem to lower the line count.
This post will be printed and put on my bulletin board!! Brava!!....nm

It means characters that are printed in black and white - no spaces included. nm

Keystrokes accounts all count the expanders as characters printed with spaces, not the abbreviation.
I have checked it, but we use Shorthand. What are you using?
I am sure that she still posts, just under diff name.

Thank you. What is the pay diff btwn Lvl 3 and 4?

We are SE not IC. Does that make diff for U/E?

Ya know, even if I spend time during my shift or after that shift
it is still MY time, expected by the company, and I am not getting paid for it regardless. I don't answer my phone while I am working, never did, never will. What other profession, while probably punching a clock, do folks work for free? If I worked in an office doing this, that time would be paid - say 15 minutes a day x 5 days a week at even $10/hour = $50 a month - and it is more time spent than that to deal with the email thing and the reminders and the changes in specifics and logging in and out of 3 different accounts when primary is out of work. GRRR.
I don't change jobs easily either, glad you are happy where you are - but producing 1400 lines of ACCURATE text will end my career soon (and probably yours also) and then what are we all to do? My goal is not to work more, work harder and longer hours to produce a salary I can live on.
There are diff Sten-Tels (sm)
I worked for them (the one in Springfield, MA) for about 18 months, up until September. I ended up quitting because there was no work and I could not get anyone, from my account supervisor to HR management, to either a) tell me why the account I was on dried up even though the docs had just opened a second office, or b) get me onto an account that had work, or even c) respond to half my emails (account manager). I did enjoy the work, it was straight typing (the platform I was on, they have 2), and the work was pretty consistent until mid-July. After six weeks of begging, I had to move on. Oh, and the kicker? When I would actually get work, I could tell by the job number that literally 10s of thousands of jobs had moved through the system since the last time I worked. But they couldn't find any jobs for me to do....And don't zing me on QA, please. In the 18 months I was there I only had maybe 5-6 reports come back to be fixed or with notes from the client, and that was early on.
Now, having said that - if they called me and offered me work again under a different account supervisor would I take it? Absolutely.
There are many different Sten-Tels out there, and from what I can tell they are mostly franchises, with the main branch being the one in Springfield. They pay once a month, and the checks were usually delievered via USPS anywhere from actually on the 15th to up to a week later. There were some pay discrepancies a couple of times, but as soon as I mentioned them they were fixed.
Hope that helps.

Axolotl pays a diff.

Actually, that 10% I stated was too low - what is the diff between cpl spaces vs nonspaces?

What do you mean by wkd/diff to line 1 - have to work whole weekend?

I work for 2 diff MT companies and love it
Like you I do not need insurance. I like the differences between the two companies I work for, both have their pros and cons (as any company does),the flexibility is better than being a full-time MT for one company but the flexibility is still limited but it is there...the second company I work for is really really good if you have to flex your schedule...for me changing companies usually was becuase of the hours not working for me, this is a solution that has worked for me for over a year now and I have been a transcriber for 31 years...good luck, do what is best for you!!!
ps with the second company I asked for more money than I was making with the first company and ended up getting what I asked for..GOOD LUCK
I believe OP is referring to DocuMed in NJ (dff spelling, diff co.)

with 16 years I would suspect you to know the diff. between wave and waive?!?!?
nm
Ok - here ya go. I went from making $1800 per pay period to making just under $900.
Is that significant enough for you? Believe us, we are not just being negative with a grudge or anything like that. This is real! A month later, I was gone from there fast!
Was there a short time last year. You work as an employee, not IC. Different software/diff. accts.

They pay well 10 cpl days, 11 cpl 2nd shift, 12 for 3rd shift
1300 lines a day required, 65 character line. They have benefits. Don't know much else.
I have worked both 3rd shift and day shift (SM)
including what you call banker's hours (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). I ran out of work more often on 3rd than I do now on the day shift.
Tell your friend to RUN (and I do mean RUN)
The best way to describe that place is great money, but job insecurity. They routinely fire MTs without any warning whatsoever for trumped up reasons, and there is a lot of office politics and backstabbing that goes on behind the scenes. They just fired the president of the company a few months ago, and wouldn't even allow him back into the building to get his things. Now if they will treat the president of the company like that, just imagine what they would do to your friend.

r u eleena sylvia wallang...???
Your friend might be able to
contact her local law enforcement agency. There is such a thing as theft of services which might apply. SInce she works at home, the crime happened in her county. It would be worth a try if she has documentation.
My best friend
works for them and loves it there. I am applying for a job there soon. I don't think they give out the equipment anymore but I'm not sure.
I have a friend who had that twice. sm
Her hubby's insurance covered it both times and with 2 different policies.
Your friend needs to go to your
county/local courthouse and sign a complaint for the bad check. Depending on what state you live in, sometimes checks are collectable up to 3x the face amount plus court costs. It's no different than paying the plumber with a bad check. It's a shame one has to go through that to get paid, but she has to do what she has to do, right?
Me, too, my friend....
Me, too.
I found the email an insult to my intelligence.
I could use a friend also.
E-mail me if you wish.
Why would anyone divorce their best friend?
Don't most legitimate psychologists and relationship experts say that couples should be best friends? I don't have a horse in any race and am just reading this board, sifting through the posts and trying to get a feel for who's credible and who isn't. Your post just isn't passing the sniff test and is borderline bizarre, making me wonder how your ex could possibly help a stranger if you're an example of what happens when he spends extended time with someone.
MT friend looking for a company...sm
that she could work just a couple hours a day, do about 300 lines/day or so (sometimes more). Is it possible? She is just unable to work much more than that b/c of a family situation and most places want a certain schedule or 2500 lines/week part time and she is unable to do either at this point. Anyone know of a company that she could check into? A decent company. Thanks.
Who you talking to friend?

How would your daughters friend
know your PIN number? Call United Way or 211 from your land line phone and ask for an agency referral to an agency who can possibly assist you.
I have a friend who is working for them and she also
makes the higher amount. I guess it depends on your test score and the account. They do not pay for spaces but .09 without is almost the same as .075 with so at .10 or .11 you are doing good. Good luck.
My friend used to work for them
And she kept running out of work, then one day they told her she was not producing enough so they scolded her by not sending her any work for 2 weeks, she found another job in the meantime. She said they go by weekly averages so if there is no work of course it brings you down.
