I've worked for Ubiqus for 2 years now and I get paid every two weeks.

In Reply to: Are they still around? I thought they folded a couple of years ago. Does their website have a - current date on it? nm
I really enjoy the work because it's advisory board meetings, round table discussions, and big conferences of all fields of medicine. I started with them right after I graduated and I've never done any of the doctor dictation, I like this work better.

I worked on site for many years. I've been doing this for 10 years... sm
I've worked on site, at home, for small MTSOs, for nationals, for hospitals. I've been paid per line, per minute, and per hour. I've been an MT and a QA. I have ALWAYS worked weekends and ALWAYS worked nights for the shift differential because MTs can't survive on 6 or 7 cents a line. At least I can't and I type 105 wpm.
I've BEEN dedicated from day 1, sister, so you are barking up the wrong tree.
Disagree with this. Every company I've worked for paid for normals.

I've worked for MDI-MD for several years and no,
my liason either. But that's okay.
I've worked on the DOS system for 4 years
and have never had a problem with it; however, I've never worked for anyone else as an MT and consequently never worked on any other system than DOS. I'm making good money in my opinion and support myself and my daughter just fine on my income.
I've made $35,000 for the years I worked there. SM
I would have to kill myself for $50,000 and I don't choose to do that. I give you credit if you were able to achieve it.
The pay rate has been lowered there now, due to SR. The rate of pay at MQ has always been higher, but this field is dying out where ever one goes.
I disagree. I've worked at home for 10 years
and have enjoyed plentiful work the whole time. I work not to supplement DH's income but my income matches his. I make much more at home than I did working in-house at a hospital. I'm viewed as a professional by my clients and act like one. Most MTs who work in-house (in my experiencey ONLY) do far, far less in the same amount of time that I do at home. Which is great for me. There are pros and cons ot every job and I appreciate every line I earn and every minute of dictation I'm given, especially in this economy. :-)
I've worked there several years, and have never had a late paycheck nm

I've worked there 7 years and had what I thought was a problem with my check, but that was
due to MY mistake. I accidentally counted lines typed after midnight on the last day of the pay period and thought I would get paid for them. It was when I first started. They actually cut me a check for those lines that day. Glad I work close to the office.
Just to clarify for you, Grace does the paychecks on site. If there is a problem with your check, call the 1-800 number and ask for Grace or email Grace@medwaremt.com. She will check the problem and fix it right then and there. Don't go to the team leader, go to the person who does the checks. Her office is also right next to the Flannery's so it not a big thing to get them signed.
I've also worked there over 4 years and I have noticed the work drop
Whatever left is the crap. Also, check your line count some time. I swear that they have manipulated that also. I can now do over 2 pages and it comes up with like 50 lines. I used to be able to make a living there but can't anymore. I'll be quitting.
Not sure what you mean. I've worked at home for 18 years. Just fyi: legitamite is incorrect. Spel

I've been with the company almost 10 years. I know the truth. Hawaii was a company-paid vacation.

Do you usually get paid every 2 weeks?
If I could basically count on pay pretty much every 2 weeks, then that would be fine. They seem good, otherwise.
tell me where, i'm not paid for 4 weeks off
thanks... you sound nice, some people on this board are so defensive and grouchy.
There is no way I would work for anyone who did not pay me. If I get paid every 2 weeks, then..
the first time my check is more than a couple days late, they can forget it. You can bet they are getting paid by their clients. Who do they think does the work. The MTs should be paid above all else. I would give them a date that they had to "overnight" by check by or I'd file a company with a labor board, BBB, anyone who will listen. These companies get away with it because no one stands up for themselves. I do the work that is asked of me and I expect to be paid one time. No one should except any less than that. Good luck to you and nail them right where they stand on this one!!
Why do you want to get paid every week versus every 2 weeks?
I've been there for about 6 weeks now sm
I'm not disappointed. Plenty of work. Pay on time. Good feedback. Nice platform, easy to use. My account has good dictators-I'm not sure about the others. I know they have several accounts and a few different platforms. You are IC. They give you 24 hours to get your work in, I believe.
I've only been there about 6 weeks, but
so far I haven't had any issues with them watching my every move. You are paid on how many lph you type. While I HATE punching in and out it helps keep me focused and helps increase my line count. I have worked an hour or two off my schedule and there hasn't been an issue, especially since there is a lot of work and they have offered OT.
They have many accounts. I know there are some with a very high level of ESLs on them. The account I am on says per contract ESLs are 40%, but based on the work I get I would say that is a low number. Most of them aren't horrible, but do slow you down.
My biggest issue is with their platform. I find it to be slow. Twice since I've been there my supervisor has sent e-mails out that the system was slow, today it was even down altogether, though not long. About every other day the system freezes up and I lose a job. I think the first part of October they are doing an upgrade that is supposed to address some of the issues.
They have 2 new accounts coming on-line very soon, one large account that recently came on-line. Work has been sporadic, but seems to have picked back up and with the new accounts coming on-line there should be plenty of work.
Their platform is Word based and they use Shorthand, which I totally dislike.
Everyone seems willing to help, even the tech department is helpful and friendly, at least from what I have seen so far. I work my shift, I produce a client ready product, and I don't hear from anyone. I don't know if that is because I'm doing okay or they are stretched with all the new accounts.
I don't know if I answered all the questions or not, I've got a migraine and my brain isn't processing very well.
They may be better out there, but there are a lot worse out there too. I would recommend them.
From what I've seen, in a few weeks
MT-30+ will be on here ripping KS apart on her own, just like she ripped LM all over the place earlier in the week.
Talk about burning bridges, MT30+. Perhaps you should consider practicing what you preach?
Pay on time, do have direct deposit, paid every 2 weeks.nm

I think she is just saying she landed a job with them and a bennie is 2 weeks paid vacation.

I got to be paid on time every two weeks or I'm outta there! Just my advise
Since you've only been there 4 weeks, you're
were from disgruntled ex-employees or if they had valid complaints. It's really easy to say the sky's not falling with 4 weeks under your belt. It's an almost sure bet that you won't be there in 4 years, maybe even 40 weeks. General concensus is after 6 months, attitudes start to change, if it takes that long. I gave it 4 years before I quit believing the posts praising Transcend and telling me to hang in there, it gets better. I figured after 4 years of not seeing it get better I had enough proof I wasn't a disgruntled employee.
I've been working there for a few weeks sm
I like it so far. Their system is a little clunky to me but I came from a job with a great system, so I'm used to the best in technology. From what I hear, MedScribe's system is like many out there. I like my accounts; I have two. Their people are pleasant and helpful. They have a great incentive system. So far, so good.
For the entire 8 weeks you've been there?!
Speaking strictly for weekends, she's probably not working, and has forwarded her calls to the help desk, where they could put you in touch with the weekend supervisors, if need be. But I truly doubt she's ignored you the whole time you've worked there. She's simply not like that. She has answered every email I've ever sent her, and always answers her phone during her normal weekday. My supe has an usual name that starts with D, same as yours, right?
I've been there a few weeks (Oregon)...
and you can feel free to e-mail me with specific questions, be glad to tell you what I know to this point.
Hmmm... Work 4 months, get 4 weeks paid baby....sm
vaction - quite a sweet deal ... while the rest of us are struggling with monumentous premiums (financing a newbie's love/sex life not my idea of fair play). Many of us haven't gotten a single day of PTO, (thanks to the line requirement to meet when there is no/low work) and most of have been here much longer than 4 months.
I've heard others say they wait 2 weeks
They use ancient equipment anyway. Get with a company that is with the times. Furthmore KS'ers on this board seem like recruiters to me or else they get paid to put nice things about that company. I think they're 9 cents short of a dime. I can feel it in my gut. No company is that great. 
Oh, I also heard they start everyone at 9 cpl, which is a lie! That was told on this board as well. Don't believe everything you read. I'd rather work for Transcend or MQ! HAHAHAHAHAHA
I've applied to 15 places here in 2 weeks and
nm
Yea, at least u got paid. Everyone who worked for TSI is STILL waiting to be paid
I don't understand how Jayne cannot pay us. We have christmas coming up. I bet her family has a fantastic Christmas because she is using OUR money to pay for it. I worked so hard for her and I know the other girls did too. How insulting that she will not return phone calls or emails or PAY us. How does she look at herself in the mirror knowing that the MTs who did all the work FOR her did not get paid. She even sent me an email saying I give you my word HAHAHA her word is nothing, obviously. Well, I will call the attorney for the THIRD time and see what is going on.
To the poster, at least you got paid even if it was late. I sincerely hope you get your last check.
What the heck? I've never heard that in the 8 yrs I've worked here. sm
Go back to your STM or over his or her head.
I worked for them for two weeks
They advertised they had ASR and that is what I wanted to do. They do not give you ASR. They new that is what I wanted to do and they gave me an account WITHOUT any ASR. They also have different systems for different accounts, i.e. dictaphone for one account, something completely different for another. You have to download it to your personal computer, they do not have any to send you. Also they foot pedals did not work. I think what was worse for me is they claim to be based in the United States but the only people I talked to were all Middle Eastern. Their tech people, supervisors, etc. I even heard their QA were based in India. (the ones that QA our work). I did not have a good experience with them at all.
I worked there for about 6 weeks and
also left. You cut and paste from the demographics into the report itself. I left because I could not get 8 hrs a day in through the week, required to work a weekend day, and then would either run out or have no work, so never got 40 hours in.
I worked for them for about 6 weeks sm
After two weeks, the work got slow and it took forever to find out what was going on. They had lost the account but wouldn't tell me. They offered me something else but it was garbage and I wouldn't take it. Nice people, but nice doesn't bring in a paycheck.
We've lived your yesterday for 4 weeks straight
Don't believe for one minute that they don't know why there's no work - they just don't want to tell you because you'll start looking for another job. Mass quantities of work don't just disappear without a reason - and that reason is usually profitable to someone other than an MT! How long can you survive getting 4 hours a day (sitting there trying for a total of 12 hours), 6-7 days a week, for 1/3 of your former paycheck? Beware, your occasional day of no work might turn into a whole month of it!
Like somebody said below, this used to be a real job. Not anymore.
I worked for a temp agency for 3 years..LOVED it. Just worked. No counts, no hassels, GREAT pay..
No benefits at the time. I even learned pathology while temping (8 months on that assigment). I loved the variety, the ability to say I'm not available such and such time. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I didn't need benefits.
Was there for 5 years -- quit 3 weeks ago. NM

So she got pregnant so she can take off 4 weeks with pay? well she has 18 years to pay for that chi
so your reasoning is very off the wall.
I think you should check into a mental ward and that should count as medical leave.
Awesome small company! Paid on time every 2 weeks. Plenty of work!
Owner is great. I would recommend this company to anyone who wanted to be paid what they are worth and paid on time!
I work for FN but worked for MDI-MD for a few weeks...Go with FN! sm
I agree with the other poster. Futurenet is great! They are very respectable. A lot of working is going to SR now though. That is the only downfall I have for them. But they work with you on everything! If they offered benefits, which they don't, I don't think anyone could beat them whatsoever. Pay is ontime EVERY time! Excellent staff! I have been there for a little over 2 years and have thought about going other places ONLY for benefit purposes but I just can't! They are too good to leave! I will be with them as long as they will allow me to. Couldn't picture myself working for anyone else!
I worked for them last fall for a few weeks, pay was
9.5 cpl, but always ran out of work and still after 6 weeks they never got around to giving me a second account, even though they said they would. Left after that.
A couple of weeks ago I worked
for Landmark for just a few hours. On interview I was asked if I was familiar with a certain platform and said I was not. I was asked if I was willing to learn. I was more than happy to do that. After all, that gives you more employment possibilities in the future.
Got set up, and was basically just told to do the work. I thought learning a platform meant there would be some training, at least a sheet of paper with some instructions. I received zip even with asking. I emailed the trainer 3 times which I guess was her limit because she only answered the first 2. I waited 24 hours for a reply. With none, I quit.
I earned a little over $40. From what others are saying, I guess that is money I will never see.
I was there 12 years, left 3 weeks ago. Many are leaving. (nm)
x
I worked the full two weeks with no problems ...nm
x
I worked for them for a few weeks. Very nice people (sm)
I just could not make their minimum and found platform to be cumbersome - but it may have just been me.
I worked there for about 6 weeks and never once had a full 8-hour day of
work. Ended up working my scheduled days off to get my time in.
I worked for them recently for a few weeks and left because of SM
low/no work. No hard feelings.
I worked at Diskriter for 6 weeks, constantly
x
I've been a QA 15 years and I've never heard
of any company only paying for the actual Keystrokes of the blank. You would literally make less than minimum wage that way. Waaay less.
Have worked for them 8 weeks, haven't received a check yet. -nm
I've been paid up to
$20 an hour home based. Have also been paid 5 cpl and 3 cpl, making more at 3 cpl, just because the MTs were more experienced and less corrections were necessary. Most companies are offering $14 an hour, which is an insult IMO.
I'm the OP..again, I've always been paid on time
I'm wondering about these several accounts going with speech recognition (many accounts that I have worked on), and what that will mean for us in the long-term.
