Many LD companies aren't allowing MTs anymore. I doubt you'll have it for much longer.

She is meaning you will see lazy MTs while doing QA that no longer care

TransTech DOES NOT CARE about their MT's anymore ! ! !
Absolutely no way for ALL MT's to get their same paycheck amounts. Some of the *favs* of E gets their paycheck/lines.
Don't listen to anyone who says their paychecks have not DECREASED over the past year or more! They are not telling the truth!!! Some of E's *favs* may get close, since they throw in the work into queues, rather than letting the work flow ! ! ! !
Why even ask the question. TT has BADLY OVERHIRED to cover their butts and they don't care if ALL of us have work or not. You can just wait until December when supposed account is coming onboard, that there will be the excuse of holiday time. TT is not the same company as it was 2 and 3 years ago . . . downhill, downhill, downhill . . .
Does MQ have STATUTORY EMPLOYEES anymore under new plan
After I have spent money, time, trying to meet MQ's requisites for
the computer to type on their docuscribe, are they even going to have Statutory Employees?
If you are an employee, don't they provide the computer?
Why didn't they tell me this when I made the 20+ phones calls trying to meet their requirements - why couldn't they have said "we won't have statutory status anymore with the new plan"???????????
I'm just guessing there won't be statutory because nothing is mentioned about it in the letter from Barbato.
What jerks! I don't even care about this company anymore...sm
I did but I don't now. They don't care about us. We should form together and start a new company and take their accounts! LOL!
All KS MTs are employees, no ICs anymore. I have Aflac and regular insurance. sm
I chose the $500 deductible for the regular insurance and have Aflac for supplemental accident and disability, which is taken out pre-tax. I had Aflac through the hospital I was at and loved it. I was happy when Keystrokes started with them.
I dont' care to read the packet anymore.t
I was all a twitter when the letter first came, email, whatever,nervous that I was gonna lose my bennies, worked myself into a lather...now I don't give a ****. Let the chips fall, I'll survive it. I even forgot it was October, thanks for reminding me. 6 days until D day. Whatever..
I feel the same way...at this point, I don't care how my reports look anymore

TT doesn't care about their MT's anymore; just under Dictaphone's direction and OVERHIRE du
knowing that they were going to lose MT's due to the recent strong enforcement policy that every MT going to VR and low PAY. They hired early to take care of the loss of MT's due to this policy.
Most of their accounts were acquired through Dictaphone and are Dictaphone controlled!!!! TT has picked up an account or 2 on their own, but most work is handed down by Dictaphone.
Of course, there is always TT mgmt's excuse of it being a holiday, doctors on vacation, low census at hospitals due to patient's not getting admitted due to a new year with insurance new deductible, and of course, that always EXCUSE of new accounts coming onboard (and NOT), but we can't tell you about it !!!!!
They are actually trying to get rid of MT's who have tried VR and did not like it, so are continuing to get paid their normal, low line rate by doing straight transcription, like we get a FORTUNE at TT anyway for straight transcription. But mgmt has to find a way to keep their paychecks GOING UP AND UP . . .
Yes...they do care about their employees...
and they also make sure everyone has enough work before they hire new people, which I think is great...
We don't have to put up with this anymore from MT companies
No, you are not the only one. We don't have to take this anymore from MT companies who will not pay their MTs. I was rightly shocked about this company though. I had actually thought better of them. Well, we will see what happens soon.
They only have ICs. Maybe they do not care enough to make them employees so they can do what they s
want to them. It is a way to cheat everyone. They do not have to pay SS, unemployment, liability insurance, workman's comp (or is it worker's comp), etc. They do not have to give benefits and put all the money in their pockets.
Employee status means that the company cares about you and wants to take care of you.
What is sad is that you'll get a longer list of companies
People with skill and experience are too costly to most large MTSOs. Quantity is more important than quality because, after all, it's cheaper to hire a couple skilled professionals to clean up the mess of the larger group of unexperienced/unskilled MTs that they can hire for a lot less.
These companies are not paying anymore than that.
So, unless she gets her own accounts and cuts out the middle man she's not going to find a company to pay more than 9.5 cpl.
they could care less about the current employees they are running out of a job. n/m

Any MDI-MD employees care to share their experience? sm
Could anyone share their experience from training to being released on their account and the workflow? Is there plenty of work.... On Bayscribe is the work pooled or you pick and choose the work? My account will be out of Washington, D.C. (SH)
do any companies hire statutory anymore? - nm

I think it's mostly very small companies that use ftp/Word anymore

InterPro present or past employees care to share your experiences
I'm to take the test tomorrow. Thanks in advance
Newly hired by CardioScribes and eager to get started. Any current employees care to
post about your experience there? How long until you met production? Platform? Pay? Team spirit? Dictators? Just any info/opinion would be greatly appreciated. The software has been installed on my computer and I am really ready to get in there and get started. Just waiting for training.
It's longer than the "standard" 65-char. line so will take you longer to make those lines!

They no longer hire part-time and may be eliminating part-time employees within the next 6 months.
They are going to have those that are PT go FT if possible. Some accounts require 1 weekend day, but not all. Most transcriptionists have 1 account with 1 back-up account. I know that they are hiring for hospital accounts in medical records and radiology right now.
There are many, many companies that have employees only, not ICs. sm
These companies know that you have to pay taxes, have benefits, etc if you want to keep turnaround times quick, be able to set schedules, and monitor work. I have worked as an IC and an employee at several companies, currently at Keystrokes for the last 2 years (and plan to retire from Keystrokes in 5 years). I do not have to worry about taxes or anything else for that matter, as long as I work when I am supposed to and how I am supposed to. I made over $60,000 last year and as an IC was lucky to make $45,000.
There are plenty of other companies that have employees only, too.
any companies still hiring statutory employees? nm

Which companies hire statuartory employees?
.
Agree that most companies don't care - sm
about your problems, they just look at the bottom line and if the work is getting done or not. I had a similar experience with a different national. Mom was ill too, I was already PT but was not meeting quota, partly due to traveling to help out my dad and to see my mom, also due to no work when I logged on. I did talk to them about my situation and despite being told they understood and were fine with it, they canned me about 2 months into my mom's illness since I was not producing enough. So much for being understanding. I was doing the best I could in the circumstances. I understand their position, but don't say that it is okay and then fire you because you are not meeting quota (after they said it was okay not to). They were not shorthanded so it was not a question of keeping up with TAT, they had too many people and we were all fighting over the scraps as it was. I was not heart-broken to leave, it was their loss and I am glad to be away from all their crazy rules. I just went on to work more for my backup job in the long run.(I always work 2 to cover my butt).
It might even encourage the companies who care...
to truly offer more for American MTs. If they know we are willing to make them stronger against the Indians, et al, this might be the encouragement to pay a little more for better quality.
Are there any companies who pay by the minute for acute care? nm
xx
The good companies who actually care about quality.

Are there any companies out there that offer benefits to PT employees, such as health insurance?
I know it's a rarity but I know hospitals do.
I agree.. Too many companies treat employees unfairly and feel they can get away with it.
Too many MTs would have just turned the other cheek, chocking it up to a bad experience and moved on, which is what I probably would have done, but the buck has to stop somewhere. Good for that MT...
I agree, but it is what it is.....the companies don't care about anything but TAT and lines, line
Unfortunately, it all boils down to the bottom line, money.
I believe a "thank you" is warranted in many cases, but don't hold your breath for one.
It is sad, very sad.
Are there any companies who offer health benefits to part time employees?
Need insurance.
Companies are hardly offer FT employees any decent benefits so I think is going to be rare to find
them for PT employees. I would love that too, unfortunately, I work too much just to get below average benefits. Best of luck in your search. Honestly, I think the only place you'll find benefits for part-timers is going in-house at a hospital.
Are there companies out there that have clinic work? Tired of acute care..
I have both hospital and clinic experience, but I am tired of working for large hospitals where you cannot get familiar with the accounts or the dictators. I work part-time for an orthopedic surgeon and I love doing it as I can breeze through it because I have learned his style, voice etc.. It is getting so frustrating every day doing different doctors who either cannot speak English or choose to speed talk and ramble on so fast. Do they think we are miracle workers?? I guess you could say I want an easy account, which by now, I have figured out, does not exist OR does it?? HELP.. any ideas besides getting out of this profession 
Spheris - any spheris employees out there care to s/m
comment on the new Cornerstone platform, good, bad? Will we all be going to SR on this? Thanks.
Didnt think of it cause I dont care. Wouldnt care if

Oh for sure employees, but not too often for statutory employees. Sorry for confusion.

Attn: Any Transcend employees or former employees
I have been offered a job with Transcend, but I am not completely sure about it yet and I need some input from you guys. I have read positives and negatives regarding this company but alot of it was pretty old information. Can anyone give me some recent feedback on them? Thanks very much!!!
They have IC and employees, employees get benefits.
Good company. I am very happy there.
Does anyone like it at Precyse? New employees? old employees? nm

It's been longer than that for me.
I tend to get stuck with a lot of terrible dictations most of the time, which I don't understand either, but maybe that has something to do with why I can't get a decent line count. Every time I get on the system to work, there's always some horrible dictation skipped from earlier in the day just waiting for me. Just got done with a dictation that was 9 minutes long, but took me over 30 minutes to type due to being inaudible in spots and just basically a horrible dictation overall. I didn't even get 100 lines out of it either!!
no longer there but.
Had trouble getting paid on time.
Not for much longer.
I knew going in they were not paying for headers and footers, but did not realize they were going to take the percentage off the total line count. The headers/footers only account for about 5 to 10 lines per report, so they have quite a little scam going.
Whatever, they are no longer there anyway. nm
:+
Not much longer to be an MT
Medical transcription is going the way of the dinosaurs. Voice recognition is coming in fast now. We will be editing for awhile until they perfect it and feed the corrected copies back into the VR engine to train it to understand all the docs. I would give this field 5 more years maybe. We all have to move on and find something else unfortunately:(
Longer than others for me
I think it took them a week and then I didn't even get a pass/fail but a link to go on to the next test, which seemed to be some kind of personality profile. By that time, I had hired on with another company that was my first choice.
No longer a CMT
I WAS a CMT for over 20 years, it never got me any more money, it cost me to re-certify, cost me to go to seminars for CEC's, I had one company I worked for tell me I could only go to the National Convention for 2 days and I would only be paid if I worked their booth for those two days, so what was the use of going if I was going to be stuck in a recruitment booth insead of learning at any of the seminars? I still kept plugging away spending my time and money to keep that CMT behind my name. Then my mom passed away, in all the work of getting her estate settled, condo sold, etc. I forgot to send in my fee and CEC's verification slips. When I realized it had slipped my mind I called and wrote them a letter explaining the circumstances and that I had all the CEC's earned. Even offered to send a copy of the death cert. Their reply....too bad...so sad pay again to take the certification Test. NOT
The longer MQ MT is on DQS, the less lines
we get. There is no "getting used" to the program that is taking our line counts. Very familiar with DQS, have all normals/short cuts in place, very fast typist, and DQS "eats up lines". MedRite did not do that to us. Why do you think MQ changed to DQS ? -- so that the MT's would get more lines per hour ? NOT !
Katie is no longer there either

If she's no longer there how will she see it? Ditto for
