Does Encompass off-Shore? Ad says "At this time,
Posted By: unable to offer outside US" on 2009-08-30
In Reply to: Encompass - SF
I saw the ad they have on mtjobs and find it curious.
They state:
At this time, we are unable to offer employment to persons living outside of the U.S.
Sounds like they have some non-US MTs working for them. Do they off-shore? Most ads just say NO NON-US Applicants, not AT THIS TIME?
Any insight?
Thanks.

Most MT services can fire you "at will" and it is in most
contracts that you sign.
However, I will tell you working in QA that generally if an MT has quality issues, they have had enough feedback to warrant it. I just do not think there is any place for someone that has a problem with quality.
However, the fair thing to do in my opinion is to limit reports until the quality issues have a chance to go up and then if they do not, then someone might be out the door.
You will find another job. Just try to work on your quality so this does not happen again.
Empoyees are "at will." You can be fired for any reason. It's legal.

Off-shore men
These men are raised in a society where women are considered little more than property. Women have no voice, they are there strictly for the convienence of the men. The men come here expecting to live their lives and run their businesses as they did in their home country. In fact, many of the home offices of the MT companies are now in the third world countries. Ithink offshoring is showing to be a big wake-up call to the average US citizen as to how the globalization of the economy is going to go. It is not they we are pulling anyone UP to our level, it is more like we are being pulled DOWN to their level doing business. My experience with off-shored men is they have no respect for women, they are much less than honest, at least in business and any action justifies him getting what he wants. This is my experience from a business stand point.
No off-shore; they are big on that. sm
6 paid holidays, Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance, MetLife dental (GOOD dental plan), and I think a week of PTO first year but it goes up after that. I've been there a long time (almost 9 yrs) so I don't know what new MTs start at. I like the shift differential and the incentive plan; don't judge on your base line rate offer - you can make a lot more.
TransHealth does not off shore.
you said off shore and New grad MT's
which means if I pay my experienced MT's 9 cpl, then the newbie should get 4 cpl, because I have to pay an Editor 5 cpl to QA their stuff to get it up to the 9 cpl quality. But then everybody screams about newbies only making 4 cpl????
Must of been one of her off-shore MTs posting that one nm

Off Shore Folks
Last quote we got from an Indian company --- they were up to 7cpl for 24 hour TAT and 8cpl for 24 hour TAT. I suspect what with the continued decline of the value of the dollar, along with the concomitant raise in standard of living in India, this is an issue/problem which may be resolving itself.
Yes, some of the damage already done, but markets have a way of correcting themselves.

Like Ascend. There is an off-shore
connection and the owner is ESL.
Webmedx does not off-shore. nm

I think that off-shore workers
You just summed that up for me. I am glad you told the truth in that you like using slaves to transcribe who are none the wiser.
As an IC, I choose my own hours, days, lines, etc. You as an MTSO consider that whining, when it is the law.
So if you sleep at night knowing you are abusing and mistreating offshore workers, then good for you! It actually just proves you have no heart.
Another point I'd like to make is that if you need subs to make you money, you must be a horrible Transcriptionist yourself.
Any doctor that old me he doesn't care who types, when, and how would be off of my list of good doctors and I wouldn't waste my time. That doctor obviously doesn't care about people but only his own pocket and that would include you as the MTSO. That same doctor that told you he/she doesn't care will drop you as an MTSO in a minute when he/she finds a better deal.
Always remember, we reap what we sow. Try and have a good day, master!

In Mass are you talking about. I was supposedly hired by them in 2004. They had me waste my gas and time driving there to train on their system. I was very well qualified if I don't mind saying. The owner has her little canary friend working for her. They are not a company I would recommend. I feel they are dishonest and sneaky. The owner sat with her fat arse in her office all day and counted her pennies. There line count was all funky..so just stay away.  
Does Spheris off-shore? Do they have a New Jersey

Is this company off-shore owned? sm
I will bet this company is off-shore owned. My experience has been these companies expect US workers to work like off-shore workers. They think we are so grateful to have a job, any job, that they can walk all over us and we will take it, just like they do to their countrymen. US workers who go along with this kind of illegal abuse, deserve what they are getting. Make MT the job you want it to be, don't accept just anything. Pick and choose the companies you work for, find out if they are off-shore owned with the token US front men. Find the kind of accts you want to do and at a price that is agreeable to you. Testing gets easier every time you do it. Get proactive. This will take time, don't rush yourself and don't quit one job until you have another up and in place.
Silent Type definitely DOES NOT OFF SHORE!! (sm)
They are a great company to work for. CEO is totally hands on and knows whats going with her company; which is rare!! The more you produce the more you make, paid per page, not line!! A plus there, and bonus tiers for page counts. Once you try the best like ST, you won't regret the switch!
I understand they off shore to India and
may even have a company over seas as well. Not for me.

Most of the work is done off-shore. I feel

Another list of MTSOs who DO NOT Off-Shore and
I probably have some of these wrong and still missed a ton of companies, so please feel free to correct the list.
If I could not find a definite U.S. Transcriptionists Only, but did find NO OFFSHORE APPLICANTS I added it to the list. They could still off-shore, and just not put that in their Job Ad or on their Website. So, if any of the MTSOs below do off-shore, please correct.
Some do use Canadian MTs, but I did not think we were getting that picky.

North Shore Medical Transcription
Hi,
I just tried to send you an email but am not sure it went through. I worked for NSMT from 1991 till 1995 and all I can say is it's a very reliable and solid employer if you show you can be relied upon as well. It's really nice having a one-on-one rapport with the person(s) running the company. I ran across an ad recently by them on line, and its led by the same woman. She's a tough cookie, no nonsense, but a really good person and a terrific manager. As far as getting work and being paid on time, as an employee that was never a question for me. If she's doing IC these days, just keep in touch with her and she'll work with you I'm sure.
Everyone's different, but I'd say this company is definitely a good bet. I don't know what accounts they have these days, but there was a good variety. I worked on site at the Lahey Clinic most of my time there and it was a super assignment.
Correct --did NOT off-shore work to India sm
The rest of the post was **...SENT WORK TO INDIA A FEW MONTHS AGO** making it sound like MTs were laid off BECAUSE their work went to India.
If you have any familiarity with this company, you know that the none of the DRC/Acusis accounts are allowed by the clients to be typed outside of the US.
So YES, there was a lay-off, but NO it didn't have anything to do with India.
PS: Offshore and outsource are not the same thing. But you know that, too, right? ;-)
North Shore Transcription Company
Can anyone give me any information on this company. I was thinking about applying. I could not find a website for them on the Internet.
Correction to list below of Companies that do not off shore
Optiscript in State College,Pa DOES off shore. I was offered a job with them until I heard from a very reliable source that they even have offices out of the country. Stay away!
Does anyone have actual experience in the quality of off-shore work?
A physical therapist in my area said they kept a file of the funniest errors they received from the off-shore work. I do believe that most of the hospital staff that get the work back care diddly-squat about quality -- it's probably not read, only filed.
Encompass of WI
Any info on this company greatly appreciated. Cannot seemt to find anything.
Encompass
Has anyone heard Encompass? They seem too good to be true so what's the deal here? Thanks in advance.
Encompass
Regarding Encompass, it depends largely on your specific manager and account assignment. Mine rarely concerned herself with my specific strengths and weaknesses, and often mandated overtime without, of course, asking. Also, you have to watch the paycheck to make sure it is accurate; mine was often lacking, despite the fact that I was very specific and accurate on my timecard. Another thing, my manager/account was regularly adding new dictators and worktypes for the weekend, at close of business on Friday, when no one was around to answer my questions. They tell you that you can set your own schedule, but that's not always true, either. Good luck.
That is Encompass. n/m

When I was there, as far as QA rating, the benchmark expectation was for 99.5%. When I had ratings of only 99%, the manager said that it could be improved, but that 99% was acceptable. I guess everyone's experience is different. But, I felt like rented equipment when I worked at Encompass.
Encompass
I'm glad to hear this. I am scheduled to start with them in a week or so. What are your accounts like?
Anyone have anything to say about Encompass?

I am at Encompass (very part-time), very happy. Nice people, honest, pay is very much average (higher rates for p.m. and weekends). Don't have their insurance, but it's pretty good, and you can qualify pro rata at only 30 hours a week. Geedub

I worked there for about 4-5 months in 2007 when they took over my hospital's transcription. They weren't a good fit for me. You have to stick to a pretty strict schedule, have to work your hours, and expected make up missed hours if there is no work during your shift which on my accounts was a lot. Very little communication. Big push for VR. Average pay based on the time of day you work. Very detailed account specifics.
Encompass
They do our overflow work and are a very good company. They use ExText. Heard they pay well for quality work and are choosy about who they hire.
Encompass MT Inc.
Anyone with any info on this company? Did a search but nothing came up.
Encompass MT Inc.
Thanks for that info!
Encompass
As of 2006-2007--No, they don't offshore. They do subcontract with other MTSOs. The owner of the company does not allow MTs to know each others email addresses, thereby keeping them from communicating with each other. They seem to revere the QAs, tech department and account managers much more than the MTs. Some of the account managers are quite bossy and QA can be quite condescending. IMHO, at least one MT who I know was treated like rented equipment while working there. They often run out of work on primary accounts, while they have mandatory overtime if the workload demands it. If you meet their specifications, they do offer benefits for part-timers. If you've been there less than 90 days, you may be required to work all holidays; if you've been there at least 90 days, you can request which holidays you would prefer to work. However, if there's no work available on that holiday, you don't get paid for it. If you have requested a certain day off and your manager approves it, keep all documentation, for you might get a call asking why you are not working; at least one manager there had a habit of forgetting such approvals.

I have been through the same issues but have not been able to find another job that is any better than where I am at now.
I applied with Encompass and was told that they do not hire New York state residents due to the high cost of doing business in our state. I had spent the time filling out their application and completing their testing before finding this out, so I just wanted to save you the trouble if you are in NY. I wanted to forward that e-mail to the governor of New York becauseI was so angry that where I lived would prevent me from getting a good job!
Encompass
Does anyone have any information on Encompass (good or bad)? Thanks!
Encompass
Hi all, Does anyone have any experience and/or knowledge of working with Encompass out of Wisconsin or Sten-Tel out East. . . good, bad or inbetween? I'm very comfortable with the Escription platform which both use along with straight dictation and am interviewing with both.
Thanks.
Encompass
Can anyone please supply current information about Encompass in Wisconson?
Encompass
I worked there over a year ago, so this is not really recent info. I quit because I did not like the strict schedule/time clock that they require. If that's not a problem for you, they are a good company. The trainers and support staff are really nice. My accounts would be out of work and I had to jump around from account to account. But that seems to be everywhere. I think they push VR pretty hard too.
All in all, it seems that people rarely post on here about them so maybe that means their transcriptionists are happy and not venting on this board.
Encompass
Anybody with current information about Encompass? Thanks a lot.

same here. i received about 4 emails from them and then all of a sudden, it was like they vanished off the face of the earth. no email or contact whatsoever. very wierd!
