When I was hired, they asked me what work types I liked from sm
best to worst. I have progress notes last. I hate them but get a few every day-type them anyway. Wish I got more op notes but H&Ps and consults keep me real busy.
When hired as QA was asked when (schedule) I
to stick to that. Basically, have gotten on whenever I wanted and worked. As long as TAT is met, theya dont seem to have a problem with flexibility. And again, I was asked when I would be able to work, not told when to work.
I asked about it when I was hired, which was 3 years ago,
and was told you have to get the laptop from them and I seem to think it was some outrageous amt like $1000, but unless things have changed, it can be done.
Was asked when hired, told them I wanted M-F...
and fortunately for me, they had M-F accounts that were a good fit for me. I've only been there 2 months but feel like I've landed in a good spot!
I asked when I was hired over a year ago if I could use my computer....sm
And was told no; we have to use company-provided equipment. You pay for it gradually through withholding. Don't remember quite how much, maybe 150.
Not true. Hired to do ops, daily asked to "help out" on DS, HPs, etc.
Sad but true. You're asked to work NOW, then asked to stop NOW, then go again and then stop
If you dont get off the minute the hospital asks, even if you have no idea that they have requested that your to be off, then the hospital MTs steal your work right out of your queue and I mean reports you have already done. I dont understand the concept of having a contract with a hospital and then having to fight for work with the hospital MTs. We should have guaranteed work during our shift and enough of the the hospital wants you to help right now and then a few hours later they want us to stop working as the work is too low. It is crazy and I couldnt work like that so I had to quit.
no one asked you to work for them, did they? lol
some companies offer ZILCH
go point your shame somewhere else
at least they are offering what they can and are open about it
I was asked to work ...sm
Tu-Sat with the 24-h window for the account I will be on. Other than that, I believe it is Tu-Sat or Sun-Thurs
I asked for more work...
and will be starting a new primary shortly.
I find they are extremely cooperative in helping their MTs meet their needs.
anyone get hired/work with TRX?
I had an interview with them last week, she said she'd get back to me with her decision, but never did. Wondering what its like to work there if they are so unprofessional as to not call back when they promise.
Just Hired - No Work!
Wouldn't jump ship and head to Webmedx. Been there 1 month and already out of work. Good thing I haven't quit my other part-time position!
I was hired by them but there is no work

Being asked to work all your days off?
First let me state for those who will say get out of the business if you don't like it, I am NOT complaining. I am posing a question to my fellow MTs to see if they are asked the same thing, and how they react. Here's the scenario, no to very little work during the week and then you are asked to work the weekend. This is not your only account and you already work 6 days a week as it is. Do you work your only day off? Of course there are no incentives or OT offered. I don't want to seem like an uncooperative employee but dang, I need at least ONE day off!!
When I asked about less and less work, I was told
that no MDI work is being done by Transcend because they have no access to the MDI platforms / clients. It was suggested that the economy may be taking its toll.
Hired over a month ago.... no work yet
Hired and then a month later trained and then weeks later NOTHIng. wHAT THE HECK IS going on???? i'm losing my mind here.
Was hired to work for them, but we never coordinated.
I was looking forward to it as they seem very nice and very up to date.
Yes they do on everyone, just hired, work for them, not hospital.(nm)

QA is not hired to finish MT's work
It's for going over for quality, not finishing what an inept MT doesn't want to do. The MT is supposed to look things up and try to put out a perfect product. The line rate for QA is very low. The problem is that everyone wants to work from home, whether or not they are qualified.
I didn't ask for your wages. I asked for help and if I'd have to work
and I didn't really think it would be like pulling teeth because MOST people at Transcend are willing to help when you ask WITHOUT the attitude. But if you post on the forum like you do here, it's obvious who you are.
No way. I work there and have asked a very reliable source who would know. nm

What?? they have asked you to work the account but never told you how much your pay is??
Sounds strange to me.. They would make me nervous as that should be the first thing they discuss.. or at least that is what I would want to know right off before I wasted my time with them.
I haven't but the company I used to work for asked
MTs to take a cut or risk losing the account because the account wanted to go offshore.
They asked me to work OT every week, NEVER paid
any OT, did not get raise after 90 days. They said I would but it never happened.
If it is any consolation, I work at CS too, and I asked Rahul if we would sm
paid on Friday, and he said something like we'll try, so there is still hope.  I hope it is Friday, too, as the coffers are a bit low at my place, but I will be happy to see it on Monday, if that is what it takes.
Hang in there. 
They are well aware there is no work and that they have over hired..they don't care....sm
as long as backlog is 0 they are happy. Good luck to you. I guess one more person couldn't make it any worse than it already is, but I hope you don't have a family to feed.
I was hired recently & they did not have enough work to train me.
I had never heard of such a thing before.
Anyone hired by Futurenet to work on the new SC account? SM
I might apply, just wanted some info, thanks.
Me too, just hired on, and already the account I am on had very little work over the weekend.
Hope this is just a fluke and its not like this daily.
New people hired are last to receive work.
&*&
There's lots of work and we're asked to help out. No big whoop. nm

Not bragging, for pete's sake. The OP asked about if we run out of work or not. I do not. We a

I wanted to work for Keystrokes but she hired me a month ago
and then never followed through. I think that they are a great company, at least the friends I have that work there think so, but it seems that hiring is their weak spot. I should apply for that. I am organized and would never let someone slip through the cracks. I am going to call their office on Monday to be the squeaky wheel.
I was hired for 3rd shift and was told there was plenty of work
i was given 4 accts and still don't make money - that is all i am saying
Anyone who is hired for one work type only should make less money (IMO)

I work part time, got hired last month. nm
Was hired for a company that promised lots of work.
do they do this? I checked the archives on this company before accepting the position and although there were similar complaints along with disorganization and some others I decided to give it a try. In retrospect I should have listened to those posts. I'm out of work for the 4th time now, there's no communication. I don't know if my first clue something was amiss was the recruiter with her kids screaming in the background during the interview or the vague answers to questions I had clearing indicating there no transcription experience on her end. Why do companies do this. I have bills to pay and I always, always address this situation - is there enough work, do you run out of work often. I know there are times when work may be low but this consistently happening.
I think it depends on experience, account hired for, etc. I was hired at .08 per line sm
but after 90 days went to 0.085 and then 0.09 about 90 days after that. I am now at 0.0925 and have been there a year. I have to point out that the line rate might not be the highest but I can verify my counts, have plenty of work, get paid on time and have a great manager. To me, leaving a bad national and the headaches that went with it was well worth the cut in pay I took. Funny thing is that I took a pretty sizable pay cut but make more money ?!?!
to clarify, not a cmomplaint about being asked to work extra earlier in the

Have you asked your supervisors why no work? Which account are you on? You can email me privately if
you want..
Thank you. The recruiter was very informative. I specifically asked about work flow
as the company I am at now runs out almost daily, in part, I believe, as a result of being a mix of straight typing and VRE. I prefer straight typing over VRE anyway. TT is offering more per line and offers incentive and shift differential, which is something I don't get currently. Im excited to start working with them.
I know this question is asked a million times but who is good to work for
anymore? I have 13 years experience and I work at a hospital part time but I know I can make more on production plus I need the flexibility because I have osteo in my back and other health problems that require me to kind of break it up if you know what I mean. I'd only like to work 4 to 6 hours a day, make a decent line rate, and have flexibility of having a span of time within which to get my lines done. I don't need benefits but do not like IC status; I prefer statutory. Any ideas?
If your hired at an hourly rate and you run out of work, then you dont get paid anything??
Just saying, you worked a total of 3 hours one day, ran out of work for two hours, then for that day you only get paid 3 hours? That would suck and it wont pay my bills.
You will be hired fast and then wait weeks or months for work...SM
You may be asked to invest in expensive equipment, likely to run out of work regularly and not have your calls returned when you try to contact them. They do pay well but the work is NOT there more than it is, so great pay doesn't mean much. They sell it to you great but they don't deliver.
I agree they have WAY over hired, but I am required to work my schedule..you got it made then!
I wasn't hired for 1 work type, but told them I like OPs so that is what I am assigned. When I r
out of ops, I usually stop unless we are out of TAT on other jobs because I do not want to take other people's work. I do not think I should get paid less for that.
When they called me and I asked them if they offshored, they asked me why that was my business!

Such a lame excuse too - I'm so sure the CLIENT ASKED to have their work outsourced overseas!
They do think we're idiots, don't they?
Recall WalMart asked staff to work off clock for overtime, remember? sm
It was on TV, newspapers, it took a court thing to resolve. Guess people will try most anything (for the moment) and just pay a fine, i.e. the cost of doing business.
I said "about to be" hired... not yet hired, and ........
considering it just like I would consider any job.... I didn't accept the job yet and wanted to check out the info out there.
ok-you asked for it.........sm
Good points: Pay always on time and always correct.
Bad points: Work flow is not consistent (some days plenty of work, some days no work at all on the system).
Their QA for eScription Accounts are very inconsistent and do not follow account specifics. Change correct things and terms to incorrect terms (very very frustrating).
Indian based and Indian run company.
They subcontract out most of their eScription work to other MTSO companies.
Don't know about the other side of it using their NetCare system. I work on their eScription side of things, which is all run by the India based company.
Since they are eating up all of the eScription accounts, I thought I'd try them - needless to say it is not very profitable.
Don't count on making good money there. Many days without work.
To each their own. It may be a good fit for some.
