Did you have to give a 2-week notice? Did they hold your paycheck until you returned equipment?

I left recently. There were days when there was NO
work - not low - NO work on one of my accounts. This was over a period of a couple of months before I left, no holidays to account for it. There was usually enough work on my secondary account, but it was not a user friendly account and it was very hard to get lines.
KS had no system in place for you to see what the work load was like (at least on my accounts) so I don't know what things looked like on other accounts.
This poster is correct. I left in a few days
because the person I reported directly to was extremely verbally abusive and for no particular reason. I had the toughest ESL account and got 100% QA and decent line counts. But I have been through a lot in life and believe me, I could spot an abusive person when I see it and these type of people never changed, so I left. If other people do not see that side of her or refuse to admit to this fact, that it their choice. But to discount what this poster said is wrong. She is telling the truth and I will vouch for it.
MQ PTO: Do the packets say how PTO is accrued, or if it still paid at average rate? nm

That is why I left. I spent days sitting in front of the computer, checking for
work every 5 minutes (or less) for 8+ hours trying to get work. On my days off I used to work 12+ hour days to make up lines, but then they hired people for Friday-Monday work and then there wasn't extra work to make up lines. I would get up at 3 or 4 a.m. and try to get work. I gave it a good try, frequently asked STM for more work, went over her head. They didn't seem to care, meanwhile I'm taking $300 to $400/month out of savings to cover my bills.
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.
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
Has anyone ever left Keystrokes and gone back? I left a few months ago and realize that I made a

It is as simple as filling out a form. I did it when I left an MTSO and when I left sm
a non-MT position at a company years ago.
What company? I did not know that any of them offer 401K anymore.
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.

eTransPlus
Since it seems to work when I post a reply I'll ask my question here. I saw in the archives 5 posts on eTransPlus that were all favorable. But the last one was in March 2005. If anyone still works there can you just e-mail me or reply to this?? I was wondering about their pay and flexibility with scheduling. I know sometimes we just have to "take the plunge" but I want to just see if I can find out if things were still pretty smooth there. Thanks.
eTransPlus
Month we were running out of work, didnt hear from supervisors at all when inquired about getting another account, after emailing them several times. Now that there is a very high backload, we're getting emails from them. eTransPlus have gone and is going through changes. The way we get paid has changed. It is now on a graduated scale- So, if you want to make at least 9cpl, you will have to produce 1601 lines per day- If you're not a high producer, don't expect to get more than 6 or 7 cpl.
eTransPlus
Thanks..it sounds like it's not too bad if there's plenty of work..I'll probably end up staying put..... thanks again!!
etransplus
 If you want to work for crooks and liars, you can work for them, but you will constantly run out of work and they will make promises to you until they are blue in the face and you have to file bankruptcy. They don't care about you as the main person behind their business success, you are just a number, and they will send you insulting gifts just to let you know how much you really are appreciated. So all I saw is beware and don't put all your eggs in the EtransPlus basket for goodness sake.
eTransPlus
I appreciate the info..I'll stay put for a while!! thanks much!
ETransPlus
They have had an ad for radiology people for a new account.
eTransPlus
You want JS to email you?
eTransPlus
Any information about this company would be appreciated. I sent my resume yesterday, and within two hours had been called and offered a job. Sounds great, but it all happened so fast, I have not had time to find out anything about the company, specifically, do they communicate with their MTs, do they run out of work, and do they have a platform where you can make decent money.
eTransPlus
Thank you for the reply. I too did a search but could not find anything recent. As you know, in this business, things change so often, a company that was running out of work six months ago could be overloaded now. As well the management could have changed five times since then! But, thanks for the suggestion.
etransplus
They have re-record and you cannot hear the jobs. The people are nice enough, but you just can't hear the work.
Etransplus...anyone currently there? sm
I am currently looking towards going back home to work and would like any input on Etransplus, Is the health insurance any good? It would be just for me. Is there any flexibility throughout day, do they pay shift premium? Thanks!
ETransPlus
Any current happy campers? I did a search but everything seems to be at least a year old.
EtransPlus???
Any updates on this company? I read some prior posts back in 2005 and was wondering if things have changed. Thanks for any input as I am thinking of making a change.
eTransPlus
I work for eTransPlus and I love it there. Would definitely recommend it!
eTransPlus
Does anyone work for these people and if so, what info can you share? Thank you.
eTransPlus sm
I work for eTrans and love it. I don't use ExText, so I don't know how that is set up. They do not have ASR and do not offshore. I've been with them for 6 months now and was with the Q before that and absolutely love it here.
eTransPlus
Anyone know anything about eTransPlus?
etransplus
I've worked for eTransPlus for about 6 months. Usually plenty of work, paid on time, etc. I didn't take out the insurance though, so don't know if that is worth it or not.
eTransPlus
Anyone who has applied at eTransPlus heard from them yet? I am getting anxious. My current is going to VR and I really don't want to to that. I much prefer straight transcription.
RE: Etransplus
Anyone currently working for Etransplus? Any experience with their Propietary (?) platform? TIA
Anybody know anything about etransplus? nm

eTransPlus
Would like to know if eTransPlus workers have any trouble getting a decent line count so they make a good cpl rate because of the tiered way of paying? Overall, do you think they are a good company to work for? Thanks for your help.
eTransplus
Is anyone a current employee of this company? Thanks!
eTransplus
 could you email me at gin3tac@yahoo.com ? Thanks!
eTransPlus
Does anyone work for this company? It seems like they post job openings every other day and I was just curious as to why. Do they overhire? Are they really that busy? Are they a good company to work for?
TIA
Etransplus.........sm
I was considering them, but really do NOT like that tiered pay thing. Does anyone work there or have worked there share to comment? Thanks.
ETransPlus
Are there any MTs out there who work for Etrans that get a decent line count lately? I am so tired of these piddley paychecks I keep receiving after sitting here for 40 hours a week with very little work! I can't even remember the last time I got 10,000 lines in a pay period. Just wondering if it's just ME. I could be out picking up tin cans on the side of the road and make a better living!
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

eTransPlus-- I wasn't going to say anything else but.....
the other poster hit the nail on the head about the insulting gifts sent for transcription week, and don't get me wrong, I don't expect anything as far as "gifts" from my employer, because they are not obligated to it, but give me a break, "I'm still trying to figure out what my gift is, either a mini mouse pad, the size of a coaster, or is it a coaster." They really showed me how much they thought of me when I received that gift.
etransplus agony
I spent two weeks jerking around with eTransPlus and they finally sent me out equipment. They had promised me all operative reports. That was not the case at all. When I questioned them they said they could not offer me all operative reports. I was disgusted. The pay was barely okay and they don't stick by their words unfortunately. I am very sad today.
Sounds like eTransPlus. nm
