I would ask your super

S/he should be upfront with you about it.  Did you receive any paperwork that specifically stated the terms of your employment and what you would be paid for?  Just tell him/her that you are trying to improve your line count, but you need to know what it's being based on.  I would also bring up what the recruiter told you, if it hasn't been too long, and see what she says.  The recruiter may inadvertantly be misinforming others, too. 


PS - I did not post the comment below about assume.  I'm not one to harp on that subject since I take people for face value way too often myself.


It's SUPER FRIENDLY for the MT. sm
It's all pretty self-explanatory.  Spell check is fine, not sure what exactly you are asking about that....
and to the Super Bowl too!
So funny - I make that typo all the time too!

GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are coming in super-low SM
as far as salary....you should be getting MINIMUM $10,000 more a year and more like $15,000. 
Must be Super-Glue
Whatever glue you are referring to must be tremendously potent because your post makes no sense.
So, you won't ask your super for a week but
My goodness.

Find a new super...

Find a position where there is flexibility for your line count. 


MTA is a super company!
This is a well-established and well-run company. I have worked with them for 2 years and Lynn and Troy are fantastic people. Go for it!
WAHOO!!!! Here we go...to the super bowel! nm

Super platform to work in.
Emdat is by far one of the most user friendly and productive platforms I have used.  MTs working with me have commented on the ease of learning and a great manual coupled with a wonderful tutorial to get you started.  Additionally, it has many features that include automatic log which shows you where you are at any point in the day .. email me if you have any specific questions.
Winscribe is super easy. There's
nothing to it. You see the jobs that are available and click to open, type. Have no fear. :)
Super Global Solutions
They install their program, which is word based on your computer, and also use email. It is very user friendly.
Super Duper Easy
May I be nosy and ask you how much they pay for this easy account?
Super Global Solutions
I saw mention of a company called Super Global Solutions on a December 2006 post.  I have not found any information on it.  Does anyone have any information?  Thanks!!
Super Global Systems
Maybe it's Superior Global Systems.  I work for them and it's a great company!!
Nothing. They're SUPER busy right now - SM
I believe the woman who hires may be out of town or bringing on a new clinic right now. I'm sure she'll be back with you soon. If you haven't heard back by next week, I'd suggest sending a reminder email. While things seem a little hectic right now in terms of hearing back, I know there's a huge ton of work always available.
Great post. Super. Thanks so much!
I couldn't have said it better myself, though I've been trying for days and obviously making more people mad than agreeable. I am just so passionate about this, and just am to the flipping out point at the complacency and reverse logic I see. I so want all newcomers to the field to have a long happy fulfilling and fruitful career to look forward to, not the scenario that it has turned into of late. 
Shapin is a SUPER company to work for
If anyone would like to email me for more infomation, please feel free to do so!  Shapin is the very best company I have ever worked for!
They were using ExText when I was there. I was one of the unlucky ones that was on super tough ESL
s
Just because people are super nice, doesn't SM
mean the company is so great. Everyone at Spheris is real nice too, but don't think you would like working there.
if you want to work for super below industry standard - go for it.
It's great money if you haven't ever had an MT job (EVER!)
Platform super easy to learn
I had heard horror stories about SoftScript before I accepted the job (realized you can't believe everything and took a chance). I gave them a shot and have been thrilled. The platform is super easy compared to some of the other Nationals I have worked for. Pay is a about 8 cpl, but that seems standard for Nationals. Tons of work.

I would recommend SoftScript to anyone and I have worked for the worst, MQ, Transcend, Medsribe, etc.
Same here...super-nice group of people (nm)
.
Great place. People are super to work sm
with and answer your questions, etc.  Pay well and always on time.  If I ever work at home again, I will go back there first.
The platform is super easy and user friendly. I have never had sm
any problems getting my lines...plus!
No complaints at all. Platform is super MT friendly. Great QA department.
Very happy at Medware.
TT has plenty of work. The platform is super easy to learn and
I'm not having any trouble at all making good line counts doing ESL discharge summaries. Super nice people as well.
It is a SUPER FINGER reference .. DANE COOK PEOPLE... good grief.
Amazing you wasted those brain cells analyzing what didn't need analyzed. TIME WELL SPENT! geesh.
What was the update?
nm,,
Update

It was a very short update all was said was it was now done to one other company and this part of the process would take 30 to 60 days. It also said that the other company was not Spheris, MedQuist, or HCA. I plan on staying right where I am and see it through the end.


UPDATE
I am not the original poster, but I am the one who had been told that I should be patient because they get 150 emails a day, that I did pass the test, that I should not return the call because they are always on the phone. Well, too late Keystrokes. I took a test on Saturday for another company and was offered the job on Monday and I accepted.

Update
I would like to thank everyone that emailed me. I finally got set up today, and am working away.
D&L UPDATE
Word is they are going to crop up as another name - beware when applying - take all information you have on this company and beware if new company pops up with same people. They are still doing business as D&L, and have some accounts and actually some MTs who have not left - but they will be another name as soon as the paperwork goes through - be careful - try to call them - chronically busy - web page under construction - snakes in the grass very very sneaky.

They are still dealing with the mess and it will just roll over to the new name when it comes.

If you ask me, what they are doing is dodging taxes again and scamming others, eventually it all comes out in the open.

Their everyone telling lies on us attitude won't work for long.
Update
Webmedx does charge a deposit and if this is Transtech they don't supply computer.
D&L any update?
I was wondering also if the MTs were compensated yet?  Let's keep this D&L situation active until we hear they have been paid.  It's such a terrible situation for so many.
D&L Update

No, they have NOT paid the majority of their ICs in part/in full.  How do I know?  Because I am a former D&L IC caught in the middle of this fiasco.  I haven't been paid since the end of June.  They still owe me for 3 weeks' earnings.


As to your other question, are they still in business.  That would be a yes.  They are currently HIRING too.  I feel sorry for anyone who accepts a position with them.


As far as what is being done against them, I'm not at liberty to say.   I really don't care much for the Marino's at this point in time, and do not want to give them any clue as to what the next step/possible step will be against them.  It would be unfair to discuss any actions publicly on a message board when there are 30+/- of us involved still suffering financially because of those 2 SELFISH and DISGUSTING people, John and Donna Marino.  They truly are in business for themselves. 


Thank you for this update! nm

Update?

with all the recent new employees of TransTech, can any of them give us an update of how it it going, I know they had a real hiring frenzy and a lot of information was shared on this board, just wondering if any new hires care to share their experiences so far.


Yes it does. Here is an update.
It took longer than expected to receive my foot pedal due to the fact that it didn't get sent out until several days after I thought it was going to be sent.  Anyway, I finally received it, let them know I had it and the next day they had me up and running with training.  I've only been working for the past three days and so far everything seems to be going just fine (although it seems like I'm getting the most difficult dictator on this account to start off with).  I've had very positive feedback and much encouragement. 
update
Well, I got an email stating that the check was indeed mailed on Saturday and that she thought that it would be there by now. I got the mail today, and sure enough a check was in the mail (personal check postmarked 11/12/08, meaning it was not sent out on Saturday as stated, but at this point who cares) for less than half the amount owed. She said that she would pay the remainder on her next billing cycle.

Well, I hope that the check really clears. My bank is holding it until 11/24/08 and I hope that she really does send me the remaining balance and that it is correct when she sends it. Truthfully, the entire amount should have been sent, but I am glad she at least sent a portion of it.

I will wait for a while to see if she really will pay the remaining balance.

Thanks for the update.
Thanks for letting us know. This will give you some more time to hone your article.

Good luck with this and if you need any more help, just let us know and we'll get you what you need.

Thanks again, Travelin, for doing this story.

I know it isn't specifically about offshoring, it is really about how the economy has affected you, but this will give an opportunity for the ugly O word to present itself to the general population.
WMX Update
And with all the great features of the new update, GOOD NEWS for all you cherrypickers. They have removed the history feature completely, so we are not able to see who is dumping the miserable jobs.
UPDATE
After thorough research and investigation, it seems to me the most expedient and efficient way to sort things out is to find a lawyer proficient in worker's rights and the like.

I am in Colorado. Does anyone know of a good lawyer who handles this kind of stuff? I'm going to keep researching, but I have the feeling that once I tell him/her of the situation, there will be ensuing heavy, heavy issues for my EMPLOYER.

After reading and reading and reading more, I am ABSOLUTELY 10000000% sure that almost every single Transcriptionist who works as an IC is actually an employee.

Here are the main reasons why:
1. If your employer dictates a schedule or asks that you set one and stick to it, you are an employee.
2. If the nature of your business (medical transcription) is similar/identical to the nature of your employer's business (MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION), you are an employee.
3. If your employer has hired other EMPLOYEES who do the same thing or very similar to what you do (i.e., a QA who also does some transcription), you are an employee.
4. If your employer mandates the way you will do your project (i.e. you HAVE to use these account specifics and you have to follow this protocol in OUR software), you are an employee.
5. If your employer provides you with TOOLS to get the job done (i.e. computer software, foot pedal, or even a computer), you are an employee.

I'll update more as I go along. I hope to keep my mojo up and actually do this. I just got a job offer from a local hospital out of the blue yesterday, and am tempted to take it. If I do ... I don't know.

In any case, thanks for all of your help!

Update
It is nearly the end of my workday (I start early as I have family duties in the evening) and my primary still has had no work and my secondary has had a grand total of six small jobs today. Is anyone else this short on work?
update
I didn't have the interview. It was up to me, but I have a lot of work where I'm at and MDI does not have benefits, neither does the job I have now so it was a mute point to change.
UPDATE
Hi to everyone who emailed me. I had time to answer a few of you individually and I'll answer the rest as quickly as possible.

My intent tonight is to dig through the archives and find the thread from a few months ago that contained the names of all companies who do not offshore. It may take me a while, but I'm determined to find it and post the linkage back up for anyone who wants to bail and go American.

It's amazing the outpouring of support we're giving/getting to and from one another, and I find it heartwarming to see the sisterhood of MTs standing hand-in-hand instead of tearing each other down as is usual on these boards.

We WILL triumph over this, if we all stick together and say NO.

Thanks to every single one of you who wrote and I'll answer you just as quickly as humanly possible!!!
Considering Transcend - Need Update

I read that they had a pilot program for offshoring some work at this company.  Can anyone tell me if they are continuing with offshoring after their pilot is through or did they decide to keep the work in the country?


TIA!


Cool! :) Thanks for the update! NM

Thanks . . I had not seen the update on web site.
yesterday, was done working (east coast), so just checked now.
Keystrokes update
How is it going with the accounts on Keystrokes, and how are you, the new hires doing? I am about to take this on but am wondering if I should.. is it worth jumping to a new job or should I take it on as a second job? Any advice would be appreciated to update since the new recruiting effort and new account/hires. Thanks in advance.
