In Reply to: I am apparently being stiffed by a woman in Virginia for vacation coverage work I did. sm - LTMT
showing up on her doorstep early the next morning - say, oh, about 5:30 or so, and I'd be knocking LOUDLY.
Or... check and see if it's possible to at least file the small claims suit online or by mail, and then you'd only have to go to Virginia for the hearing. If you show up and she doesn't you would likely win by default.

How long have they owed you your money?
So far I haven't had any problems
Not so, depending where you live...100,000 is not that much money.

I wouldn't hold my breath on more money
The entire medical field seeks perfection. Have you ever been a patient? If so, then would you want someone saying that they will not do a good job if they are not compensated for it? I'm sure there are plenty of MTs that will work for 5, 6, 7, and 8 cpl and the company they work for still requires perfection. I think you're being unrealistic. If there is a company out there paying more than 9 cpl, then let's hear about it other than someone who has been with the company for 10+ years. This business is going down in salary and certainly not up, and yes they do require perfection. Why shouldn't they?
Wouldn't outsourcing free up more money for the editors?
If Medware is outsouring a bunch of their work to India, then wouldn't they be making a big enough profit and wouldn't have had to cut their editors' pay so drastically -- if anything they could give pay raises to their American employees? If they're making more money off each chart by having someone from India doing them, they should be rolling in the dough, right?
No, I wouldn't go back. I lost too much money there ALWAYS running out of work (sm)
There were days at MQ I would type 2 reports during my shift, and I had a LOT of accounts in my pool! A friend of mine who started at the same time I did with MQ is still there and she is always out of work. I just can't take the chance.
The back pay received and owed was much better for me..
Much, much better.
Christian owed Transcription Co.
Is there a Christian-based transcription Company? In speaking with another MT, she mentioned this, but could not remember the name of the company. Any help would be appreciated. THANKS A BUNCH
Would agree, hard to get everything owed ...
I worked for him a short time, in between other work and was difficult to get everything that he owed me.
That was after I left that co, they must have had to go through records and pay all overtime owed
it was a pleasant surprise - I don't know what the penalty to that company was but it was money I hadn't expected but they must have had to pay all transcriptionists if I got one. This was a few year ago. Evidently whether the overtime was authorized or not, the company was aware the Transcriptionist was over 8 or 40 hours a week and had to go back and pay all of them.
I have to agree here. Been in this biz for long time - amazing to see that every MT is owed somethi

I wish people wouldn't be so encouraging. Then maybe we wouldn't constantly run

Amherst so we make less money and they get more money for MQ and bigger bonuses. Our guidelines came
from Amherst.
The company takes the money out of your salary, before they cut the check. It is your earned money,
:+
It's about "money, money, money, mmmoonnney. Singing The Apprentice song.

At my company I'd ask for $18; probably wouldn't get it, but I wouldn't go lower. nm

yep, gotta spend money to make money. NM
.
So does yours. Perhaps you need a basic money class to learn to keep money. sm
I am off today and appalled at reading the posts on here.
Are you always this bitter? Do you have a family and friends who are safe and healthy? Count your blessings instead of being so angry and you might see that this is not a bad field to be in. It has kept food on my table for 27 years and will continue to do so. Is it harder now? You bet, but it is not impossible to make a good living of $50,000. You just have to work hard, give it your all and appreciate the good companies that are out there.
If I were an MTSO, I would find out who all these people posting such bitter posts are and find replacements for them a.s.a.p. Negativity spreads like poison, and with the world in the state it is, we should bond together not make it worse.
Money is not the root of all evil, the LOVE of money is. nm

depending on who you ask
If you ask me, not hardly. Lets see, six weeks back pay still owing, heard more people are quitting and have not been paid, heard IRS is investigating, the district attorney is in the loop now as well as Department of Labor. How many girls are still owed?.... It will not settle down with D&L until they PAYUP! I will make sure of it!
Depending on DC
A friend of mine has a chiro account she's had for 15 years. She charges 0.12 per line and a line is a line no matter how long it is (none of this gross line crap). Not all chiros are cheapskates!
Actually, depending on where you are
They use Fedex and the actual charge from there to GA is $16 and some change so when I worked there they did make money off of that.
sometimes it can take a while, depending
on how busy they are, but if has been a few days you can email them and ask...... that's what I did
For me 3-5 hours..depending on
how focused I am that day, how many interruptions I have, whether the system is running slowly, etc.
Depending on where you live (sm)
this could be a very good position for you. The people I used to supervise (pathology transcriptionists in-house) made about $15-19 per hour depending on how long they had been there. This is in Southern California, though, where employers will pay a little more when transcriptionists are scarce.
Depending on your proximity to them I'd allow
it a couple more days. DH company mailed his 1/30, in the same state, took 2 days to get here. If you don't have it by the first of the week call them.
Probably depending on the position sm
but I imagine most will want to see a 98 at least. Some might be more forgiving, especially with a somewhat newbie? You'd be required to maintain a 98+ during employment so I don't think they'd want to start anyone much below that.
Depending on the company, sometimes
direct deposit to kick in and you'll be mailed a paper check until then. It all depends on their bank and their procedure. Some banks require a test run to validate the acct being deposited into. Have you asked or inquired about it?
Depending on the company you might
One company just cut QA pay 30% and up, so that might not be a good idea, although, MT pay cuts will probably happen soon here too.
Depending on the account
ER reports have a really good potential to be a big money-maker. Lots of normals and a lot of repetitive statements you can put into your expander. Not to mention the fact that the work is usually far more interesting than acute or clinic work.
IMO, 7 cpl is a decent rate.
depending on what state you live in - sm
you could possibly be hired by another hospital IN THE STATE you are in and go to work at home, or you may be considered for a position at Diskriter that is hiring for a Florida hospital, but again, it depends on what state you live in. The Florida hospital can hire from about 7 other states, but if your state is not one of them, then you are out of luck.
Anywhere from 3 to 10 hours, depending on speed,
experience, ESLs, interruptions, platform, etc.
About 4-5 for me depending on how many ESLs slow me down on any given day.

I average 20-25 depending on the radiologists who are on.
I work in Radnet, use Shorthand and do all types of exams. I am paid by the report one rate but a much higher rate for IRs.
depending on your state, incorporation not necessary..sm
I did not incorporate....the state I live in allows you to be a sole proprietor, and I think 3 states allow this...where you are the employer and the employee. I still submit 1099s on the privates to the IRS along with MQ's W2-W4 that they give us....and so I also do a schedule C for the sole proprietorship for the MTSO part of my business. *S*
depending on length of the reports,
that is 2 less Americans employed in their own country and the taxes that would be collected for that income missing. How patriotic of Transcend. These companies only think of their own pockets, never the needs of the citizens of the country in which they live. Selfish, greedy, .......................
Axolotl does have ESL, but depending on the account, you may not see any all day
As for your other questions, pay is always on time. Paid twice monthly. Pay periods 1 to 15, 16 to end of month. Direct deposit available first thing in the morning. Have been on OT for last 4 months. Depending on what accounts you have and if you are Acute Care or Clinic, OT could go on for many more months as Axolotl is rapidly expanding. You don't have to stress about ELS because Editors are available by IM and depending on what your schedule is, you may only deal with 1 editor; almost have her as your personal sounding board. They are always willing to answer questions, even give you a toll free number to call if you can't reach them by IM. The Editors and Management are always available to answer your questions. Out of the 5 big national companies I have worked for, personally, I think they are great (I would say the best, but someone will accuse me of being a recruiter if I do -- I am just a new employee who loves it there). You could certainly do worse. 
they hire in all states; depending on what
state you are in, determines if you can be SE if that is what you are looking for.
I have heard anywhere from 3.5 to 5 cpl depending upon your experience.
When there is steady work, they are awesome. Sometimes, it is feast or famine.
Depending on mood it could be _____Head. (sm)
   
FMLA - Depending on your state
might pay. I remember reading NJ just passed FMLA with up to 12 weeks pay (you'd have to be employee status though because it's taken from state disability funds you're paying into) and I think CA also provides for paid FMLA now. My state doesn't pay for FMLA, but does temporary disability and maternity is covered under that.
depending on your experience, lots sm
of companies will take you part-time even if they SAY they only hire full-time. Most of the time part-time is 6000 lp pay period. I work for a company part-time right now and they really needed somebody M and F and every-other Saturday adn they don't hold me to the line count requirement. Just depends on the days you are willing to work sometimes.
It is nice to HAVE A LIFE!
I would say it's a little lower than average depending on your experience
but I think with them the more you type the more you get paid. For each level there is a range. My advice would be that if 6 cents is the most you can make with them, there are other MT jobs out there. I was offered a job with them too so I know that the benefits to me were impressive. It was hard to turn them down.
They have lots O' work depending on the acct.
If you're on an account with terrible sound quality and very heavy ESL, then they have tons of work for you. If the particular account has no problems with the platform, you can bet there won't be work. They advertise all the time because they have tons o' work on certain accounts and they have tons o' turnover in both accounts and MTs.
Depending on the reason you may not qualify for unemployment...sm
If an employer has good grounds for dismissal then unemployment won't be awarded.
Old posts said easy to work for, but your pay would never go over 7 or 8 cpl depending on
s
Depending on where you live, there are many facilities hiring.
Check with Radiologix. They had an ad running for MT, pay well with great benefits.
If you check around, there are many other facilities hiring in-house if that is what you prefer. Some are hiring at-home employees also with a better setup than what you describe.
Pick yourself up! Don't let it get you down. Life can be much much worse.
Really, if you were in a room full of people and everyone threw their problems into the middle of the floor, you will see you really have no problems at all!
Good luck to you!
Depending on the account your placed, this is not bad place to work.
If your on the Escription account, run and do not look back. Work often runs low and the stuff you get is horrid (ESLs) etc. and it is almost impossible to make any money. These are VR accounts. So, if your not on a VR account, you will most likely like it as far as pay on time and decent benefits. I had to quit because I either had no work or crappy accounts where I made no money. Obviously, it was more beneficial to find another job for me. Communication leaves a lot to be desired.
It's all relative. Depending on where you live, that might not even pay for an apartment. nm

A bit strong. Transcend is good depending
I have worked with them in the past and returned 3 months ago. I am on a really really difficult ESL account, and I am having a learning curve to get to my full-time lines. But, the team lead and my regional manager have been a safety net for me by being very supportive and always addressing my concerns. I must say my account is not for the faint of heart, but the Beyond TXT is fine for me and I am getting there. The major reason why I am sticking out the learning process is because of my supervisor is so supportive and flexible with me taking longer to get my lines. I just about make my bills, and did not make the sign on bonus which is a negative. However, I will stick it out b/c I know that I can do it and make good money here. If you can do ESL and get a good supportive supervisor I would suggest you give it a serious consideration. I do believe there is money to be made at this company and there are a lot of people who have been there many many years. Good luck to you.
AllType-unstructured, several platforms depending on accounts
so you could possibly have to learn 2 or 3 platforms depending on what your back ups are. Too chaotic and hard to get work in that way!!!
MDI is a good place to work. Depending on what account you get.... see msg
Some accounts are slightly overstaffed and there is less work but I know other accounts are swamped. Their benefits are comparable to other companies. Line count is reasonable and I like working there. The staff is really nice. Just like every company, what works for someone else may not work for you etc.. so go with your best judgement. They have been good to me so that is all I can speak for. Can I ask who else has offered you a job??
