I am totally with you, Gloria!
All of us past employees have said what it is like there numerous times on this board. It is AWFUL! There were MASSIVE layoffs of US MTs over the summer and they treat their employees like &$(%. If you want your paychecks constantly screwed up and not be able to get anyone to fix it, and if you want to not be paid for spaces and treated like a second-class citizen, then go for it and let us know how is is after a few weeks! I left about 8 months ago and never looked back!
Question for you Gloria
Are you thinking about applying? Previous posts from November (if you're the same Gloria Brown) seem to indicate you work or worked there.

In Reply to: At least we don't have to work 7 days a week (unless we want to) - Cheers

Don't have to work 7 days unless we WANT to? Who wants to? You have to when you get less than 1000 lines because of no work or servers being down. This is almost a daily problem and it is getting quite old. I'm tired of hearing this is the nature of the career. I believe that low census is not the only problem here. They are overhiring and the accounts are not coming in as promised. We are expected to be signed on and working on the shift we agreed to, yet it is okay they don't keep up their end of the deal and we have to scramble without a life to get lines in. Because it happens so much there absolutely should be DOWN TIME paid. When TT hires, why don't they tell people that they will need to get another job or 2 in order to make a living?



Not Gloria, but don't you have better things to do with

Wrong about this, too. NM is not Gloria. I dont
x
part-time IC is 5000/pay period and full time IC is 10,000 per pay period. Need to talk with
recruiter about cpl, I'm sure it varies with experience. 
How much is deposit?TIA NM

$300 deposit is exactly
the reason I didn't accept their offer. Signing an agreement is sufficient IMO



Now there is a $300 deposit. nm

Deposit
Still with Webmedx but took forever when I left Spheris! It did come, though - guess it had to go through the channels.
Regarding Deposit

There are no rental fees, only a deposit.  This deposit is returned upon receipt of a working computer.


Deposit
I am not sure how long it will take, as the computers are normally shipped ground and may have been delayed because of the holidays.  Contact the office and verify they have received the computer.  At that time, they can also give you a status on the deposit. 
deposit
It took longer for mine because I had moved and the address was not updated. But, from what the paperwork said, the check was sent within a week of receiving it. It took me 8 weeks to get it because of the wrong address. Hope this helps! :)



No there's no deposit. nm
nm
It's a DEPOSIT
It is refundable when/if you leave the company.  It is for the whole computer to include the tower, monitor, keyboard, mouse, software and footpedal.
Yes they do, for a deposit fee. NM

How much was the deposit?
all about the deposit, and 9 months later I still don't have it back!  I'll be calling them first thing in the morning.
$300 deposit and $50 per pay?
Who pays to work for a company? That's ridiculous. There are plenty of companies out there that don't make you rent their equipment. They probably own that equipment and software free and clear. Think about how much money they are making off each Transcriptionist just for using their equipment.

Sorry to vent but this is one of my pet peeves. Without transcriptionists, they wouldn't be making any money at all. Greedy, greedy, greedy.
Well, you can tell it is the last day of the pay period.
:
16,000/pay period
This is for 2 weeks, correct? You are able to transcribe 8,000 line per week; I can only currently do 6,000
You can always tell the end of the pay period is near.
:
That would have been $73.53 less than MQ last pay period for me n/m

About $9/pay period or you can use yours
/
Per pay period?
xx
PAY PERIOD
12,000 LINES PER PAY PERIOD OF 15 DAYS, NOT PER WEEK, AND THAT IS ABOUT RIGHT
but pay period
It is like 9500 lines for part time and 12,500 lines for full time per bimonthly pay period
I do 16K to 20K every pay period sm
These last 3 weeks have been terrible for work load. I cleared 16,000 for this pay period, but it cost my body. I worked evenings helping out when there was too much work and and had to hunt and peck during my shift. It was Spring Break and anyone who does much acute care will tell you, work is SLIM during that time. I still got my lines, however.

Regularly, and I work 1st shift, I get about 1500 to 1650 WITHIN my shift. I don't have a lot of normals, but I have an outstanding expander. I am reaching for 18K every 2 weeks, but I am not quite there. I have not been with the company 90 days yet, I am new.


No , only about 10.00 a pay period
nm
not $50 per pay period ... sm
What she meant was, the computer is a $300 deposit, it is taken out over 6 payperiods at $50 per pay period. After that, there is no fee for the computer and if you leave and they get their computer back, you get your $300 back. just wanted to clarify.
End of pay period!
That's the way it always is. MTs don't make their line count so it waits until the end of the pay period and then they gouge what's there. It's not right but that's what happens.
10,000 by the end of the pay period - sm
so it does not matter how much you do a day, they just want 10,000 lines in the period for FT, 5,000 for PT. I have assigned accounts though, so no pool, I do what comes in on a daily basis, always of 10,000 lines usually about 12-13,000, but some of that is edit at .03 a line.
Must be end of MDI pay period
Little to no work in my primary. 
Regard deposit
The deposit for the equipment is $250, but like stated before payments are in installments. $25 to $35 per pay period. You should try them. They are a good company to work for. No underlying discrepancies occur there.
I have direct deposit.
I love the platform. It is proprietary software but very VERY user friendly. The staff is great and I really do enjoy it here. And I am serious -- make your own opinion. One or 2 bad apples don't outweigh a couple of hundred happy campers. Our insurance is great -- there is sick leave, holiday, PTO .. it's pretty dang good.
Direct deposit. SM
I just filled out a form for my bank on Monday to have another type of payment set up for direct deposit. So, there's obviously something very, very wrong here.

Good luck.
They pay be direct deposit
Good luck with getting the phone answered.  Does their manager not have a number to call?
Yes, they do have direct deposit. nm

Direct deposit
She has direct deposit now. I even got paid a few days early last week.
No direct deposit
Today is payday and direct deposit not there, still waiting for reason. Apparently ADP problem, not TTS, but still!
DIRECT DEPOSIT`

I DID sign up for direct deposit.  However, they lost all of my paperwork and paid me as a vendor!!  NOT good!!! 


Direct deposit

I live 20 miles from them, and it took 4 to 5 days to get my check.  The postmark was a timely manner.  A lot just depends on the volume of mail going from whereever they mail the checks from.


They just did start direct deposit for IC's about a month or 2 ago.  I LOVE IT!!!!


I have direct deposit
My pay is in my account every other Saturday bright and early. They have never been late and never messed up my pay. I think if you don't have DD it arrives the middle of the week.
Correct. It is a deposit. -- nm

I had to pay $300 deposit, they take $50 out of each paycheck, sm
it is supposed to be refundable
The deposit is in $50 increments, too. sm

After seeing some of the posts today on the board, I just don't understand some MTs.  They come on here complaining about their company for various reasons.  Then, when they are told about actual GREAT companies, they seem to whine about a deposit or state things that are totally not true about a company they know nothing about.


I have been with Axolotl for 2 years.  During this time frame, I can never complain about being without compensation or really lack of work.  They pay great, their benefits are great, the platform is great and management is great.


So, if any MTs are looking for that kind of company, then you should look at Axolotl or you can just be content with your situation and not complain about it.


Direct Deposit?
Can you get your money direct deposited? That's what I do, works great.
You will be charged more than your deposit
The software on a computer is more than the deposit itself. 
Computer deposit
This is not a deposit, it is an ongoing monthly charge to use their equipment. 
Do they do direct deposit? nm

Direct Deposit
I don't know what's going on either. Mine is ALWAYS in the bank on Friday morning, however, when I banked at another bank before this one it was always in there on Saturday morning. This has got me confused. Seems like they would at least have let us know. Hope I don't have some stuff bouncing. I live from payday to payday with as many kids as I have.
I got my direct deposit sm
It was there when I just checked it this morning. Just thought I would give you guys the heads up.
