Working for an east coast company doesn't work so well because their TAT comes halfway through my workday.

Viva Transcription Company out of California. Does anyone work for this service. If so,
would you be willing to share what they pay?
No it's a company in California begins with a
Everyone for the most part is friendly and helpful. It's just this one QA person who is rude and demeaning. I've been at this for over 15 years now. I get reports back with blanks she is not able to fill in but a report filled with commas and changed words that I KNOW where not dictated. When I questioned that I'm not given any explanation on how this was possible when I know it was not dictated. I think that is what may have triggered the attitude. I've already started looking so I can be prepared when I've had enough.

Ther e is a IT company in California who brings workers
puts them on board, sails out past the 12-mile rule into international waters, they work a few weeks, then brings them back to shore for leave, rinse and repeat.
This is not a rumor.
Anyone work for Digital Records Corp in California? sm
Do you work per LPH requirements or line counts per payperiods, have to clock in. What platform is used. Is it Word Based. It is set up in a pool fashion or you are assigned work from a particular group of doctors. Is pay good? Thanks for replying.
how do we work it? Easy answer - work for another company. That happened with the company
I was working for. I would wake up at 4 a.m. AND ON THE WEEKENDS TOO because they needed "coverage" supposedly and I would sit until 9:30 or noon without any work. Sorry, but my rent of $1450/month could not be paid with only $57/day. So I got another job and when I got the equipment and everything, then I quit for the other employer.
Must be a small company. I have never talked to the owner of the company I work for. sm
He wouldn't have time. Why would someone talk directly to the MTSO? Most do not know (or care) about the details just the big picture.
Thanks! and not in California
Thanks for the good wishes. We are not in California-we live in Nevada. Like I said, I've known her for years and she's always known I was a transcriptionist--thank goodness! In light of the decline in pay we've seen in recent years, this was just a great offer!
DRC, California
Any info. on Digital Records Corp. in California?
DRC California
Have been there almost 2 years. They have been good to me. Work is good - less ESL's than most. Benefits could use a little work, but better than some companies. Insurance is expensive for dependents. Hope this helps.
WPU in California
Has anyone ever heard of WPU out of California? Thida Win is in charge. Thanks.
MTs from California
My company won't hire from California either. They said they can't afford to pay what the California MTs want because of their higher cost of living. All CA resumes go in the trash unread. Just passing on what I heard.
TTD, INC in California
Anyone have any info on this company? Looks like the pay is pretty low, but other than that, anyone have any experience with them? Good or bad? TIA
You should be in California--
the entire state is being overrun with people who cannot speak English.
DRC was in California... sm
Acusis is in India and headquartered in Philly. DRC was in California. Acusis bought DRC, and so then DRC became Acusis US.
If someone slips up and says DRC, they really mean Acusis US, not Acusis India.
Confused yet???
Any info on DRC out of California? sm
Line rate, platform, insurance? Any information appreciated.
Anyone know anything about AssistMed in California? TIA

I use Meditech in California
If you have some specific questions, feel free to ask.
JKM, CMT
Walnut Creek, CA
Chronicle California
Anyone work for them? How is/was it? Thanks in advance.
Seem like they were in California but I'm not sure if that is where all of their accounts are.
I think for the most part people have said good things about them. I talked to one person who had worked there a few years and said there seemed to be a high turnover but no more than anywhere else. She also said a lot of days it was really tough to get the line count as some of the accounts were harder than others. That is all I know and they really don't sound any different than any other company out there. You never know until you try.
California Transcription
I was also wondering the ease of the equipment that the company uses and degree of ESL dictators. I tried to research this company, and past comments have stated that they pay once a month.
Outsourcing in California
Not true - I live in California and many transcription companies outsource offshore. In fact, it's a trend that is increasing.
Snobbing California
OSi shouldn't be posting it as a United States: Nationwide position if they won't consider hiring from California. It wastes people's time applying and waiting for a response when they have no intention of using people from here. Chumps.
Are you a California resident?
If so, if a company ran a credit check without your permission they could be liable for 10,000 in damages. CA Civil Code §1785.20.5, 1786.12 explain and §1786.50 explains damages.
If you are not CA resident, Google your state civil codes credit reporting employment, etc. I would also send a certified letter to the credit bureau who ran your report and tell them this was an unathorized inquiry and you would like it removed.
roi - pretty sure california

FutureNet in California sm
Does anyone know if the lady that runs this is the same one who used to be with the old company YOG?

Anybody heard of this company? How is their platform? Do they pay on time? How is QA? TIA
Can't live on $35K in California either.

J&J transcription-California
Anybody got any pros/cons re: these people?
In California hospitals
things are especially tense. The unemployment rate in California is 12.5% and the state is ready to go bankrupt. I am just ashamed and disgusted that such a beautiful state has gone the way it has.
Please DO NOT mislead the MTs in California
You might want to look this up before you resume doing business in California:
http://www.edd.ca.gov/Jobs_and_Training/Layoff_Services_WARN.htm#How%20Do%20I%20File%20a%20WARN%20Notice
It's my belief that California also has bumping rights based on Seniority. As I understand, if the person(s) who laid off people for no reason at all (which violates the covenant of good faith and fair dealing under California law and for termination in violation of California's public policy which defeat the at-will employment in California) lacks seniority at the company, then he/she can be bumped off by someone with higher seniority than him/her and with equal or more qualifications than him/her at the company.
In such a case, that person(s) who started the unfair layoffs would just be waking up a sleeping enemy!
You need that money in California
Fresno area's not quite as bad, but in the SF suburbs, it's $1000/month for a 600 square foot studio. Even at 10 cents a line, you've got to do a lot of lines to handle that. It's one the biggest reason I moved to the midwest.
What you get here compared to California
Had my SIL visit last year from Sacramento, CA and she could not believe what we paid for our home. She estimated my home and the homes around in the $500,000 range and up, which was more than most the homes here. I watch the home shows and shocked at what some people settle for when looking for a home there. They have nothing to show for say a home $200,000 or more. I used to live in Atlanta but moved to a more rural area where you can get a show piece for not that much.
California Transcription
Just wanted to warn anybody who may consider taking a position with this company. The pay is never on time. I'm still waiting to get paid for work done in JULY and today is September 27. And to anyone who starts to accuse me of libel--this is the truth and I can prove it. I can also prove that when asked about my paycheck, they lied to me and said it was in the mail, and it was not. And yes, I have reported it to authorities. Just wanted to warn anyone else who might get taken in by them. . . hope I can help someone else avoid the same pitfalls I've fallen into with these people (the Bartons).
Florida or California? Looks like there are several.

they told me they were in California nm

Let me know if you pursue this company. I would like to work for a MN company as an employee?
Let me know! Thanks!
Chasing work from company to company - Have any of you ever watched (sm)
5 year olds learning to play soccer? The ball is in play and no matter what the coahes say ALL the kids go running for the ball. Maybe we are like that, masses of us going from company to company in search of work. This company has a new account BOOM here we go. Now it is out. Let's go here.
Yep, I think it is a big game someone is playing with us. Not a particularly funny one either.
What is the best company to go to for IC that is a nice company to work for that has work for you
and also is interested if you want to work part time at some point.
very similar situation here in California
Main office in Ontario, California. What a mess. The US owner (great person) thought it was going to be good thing but it turned out bad for her and the US MTs.

California law prohibits outsourcing
My understanding is that California law prohibits outsourcing of medical records. I have also heard that other states have such laws, though I do not know which ones.
I think California employees pay into their own unemployment - nm

Northern or Southern California?

Macro Solutions in California
There was recently an ad on MTdaily for a company rep for Macro Solutions in CA. Did anyone apply to that and receive a response? I applied and have received 2 responses. I am beginning to think this is not a legit company and wanted to know if anyone else applied and what they think. Their web site looks legit enough but they basically hired me without even a phone interview, and now are telling me I have to open a bank account at a specific bank before I can work for them. Something fishy going on here?
I don't do the California account but I can only imagine.................
Just imagine VR slaughtering ESLs and you have a recipe NOT to make money. You'd be spending all your time trying to put sentences together that make no sense. To each his own. I just wouldn't be doing that job.
anyone transcribe for cmls california?
I am wondering if anyone has transcribed for CMLS doing QMAs. I know some people have had somewhat negative experiences with late payment, running line count audits on every bill, and not paying. Odd behavior given the fact they keep sending loads of work but just not paying. Thanks for any info.
