them. Is that so wrong? I have a lot of work, I like my account, I get paid well and on time. That's 4 for 4 in my book. I have not found that anywhere else.
Their ads do not say 9 cpl for everyone; they list a range.
The equipment is not ancient. I have an internet count.
Why do so many come on here to b**** and moan and tell half truths. Unless you experienced it yourself or know facts, why spread things?

There was some nice things said about
I am curious too. Am considering testing with them.
Several nice things about KS
As mentioned, not clocking in and out is very nice! Mostly though it was when I would forget to clock either in or out and then have to BEG someone to correct my time card. Sometimes it would take weeks to get it fixed and I found it annoying to try to figure out my hours when it was messed up. Also, my lead is an MT just like me...not like several of my supervisors at MQ, they just didn't understand sometimes what it is really like.
I've only been with them a week and made the decision to move before I even got the letter from MQ but I'm VERY happy it all worked out the way it did. Now that I see the new requirement of filling out a form for every job - I'm doubly happy to have mad the move. I type over 200 reports a day (radiology) on average and it would probably have taken me a good hour to fill out that new form.
Recruiter may be nice, but remember...sm
This company deals daily with India and the Phllipines for most of its work and always has. If you don't want a company who offshores, then you don't want this one definitely. Then there's the info when you Google the owner's name. Look up renee lella and see what you find.
And they do just plain nice things (sm)
like send restaurant gift cards when you've worked hard. Nice to be given information, too. The platform could be better, but the lines are really excellent.
I had heart nice things about them and
passed the test a while back, but still have not been contacted by the recruiter. Saw several ads since. So, this MT moved on. All I can guess is they are swamped with resumes. A nice place to work, was my understanding, so good luck to you!
Well, I guess I got lied to by the recruiter then. Nice.

Nice recruiter. They are the national office and do the preliminary
interview, then the regional office does a f/u interview for the position that is open.
Unless things have changed drastically, they are NOT nice to work for.
You will get calls at all hours to work, mostly because no one has enough sense to realize that there is a big time difference between the east coast where they are and the west coast where I am. I routinely got calls from Rose between 4 and 5 a.m. to see why I was not working when my schedule was for 7 a.m. pacific time. The accounts were awful. And the recruiter is just that - do not believe all the praise and glory she heaps out. She may be sweet but don't fall for her line of bs.
You do get paid for things in templates...sm
Please e-mail me who told you otherwise. Thank you.
Anyone currently working for DGS that can tell me how things are there. nm

And how are things working out for you on the new

3rd world things they are working for what we have,

How nice there are 2 of you working
Its harder to manage when you're the only one, and you are already working as hard at your 1 job as you physically can.
No, I am not paid any flat rate and I told that recruiter
I gave my notice, but he continues to ask me. Of course, I have not given my notice and will see how this job plays out. One thing to note is the recruiter claims I have a great account that many would be happy to have. May be he is worried about fabrication.
E-mail me if you would like, keep me posted if things are working for you.
Sure there are things that sound great about working for the
I hired on with the local hospital here with the promise of going home. Yeah right!!!! Excuse after excuse after excuse and then I was told that I had to cross train on acute care before I could go home. So, that meant, what, another 6, 8, 10 months? Hahaha, no way. I love my radiology and that is what I want to stick with. I am home, but not with the hospital. And, making more money.
I would just say, 'It's been nice working for you, -
you're a great company', etc. etc., 'but I've found something better so it's time to move on.'
I worked for them shortly. They were very nice and paid well and on time. sm
This what I did not like. On the account I had, each report had to be saved separately and then individually sent. It seemed to take a lot of time monkeying around with each separate file which was only about 10 to 11 lines long. I do know that not all of their accounts are like this. They were extremely nice people and paid well!!
I'd rather have my 6 paid holidays and nice PTO package at Webmedx sm
than any gift, anyway.
I'm with you - mine's working again too, hate to learn new things.

Anyone working for Landmark right now that can give any info on things there. nm

They were very nice and paid on time right from the start, but both accts. I got put on I couldn'

Wait to talk to the recruiter. If the account you are working on requires a C-phone, sm
they will loan you one if they have one available. No sense in spending extra money if you do not have to do so. :-)
Good luck ! I love it at Keystrokes. I have only been there about 4-5 months,but my experience has been a good one. I think you will like it.
Why should you get paid when you are not working?
x
won't be paid if not working I am sure
They seem to be paying only those who threaten to quit or not do work, but those who have quit have not been paid. Probably never will. They are light on Transcriptionist and those still there have to say no pay no work before they get a check, then cross fingers to see if it clears. I honestly don't understand why anyone would work for them. I would rather make 6-1/2 cents a line and know a check was coming - little pay better than no pay. Besides their pay was not all that great anyway at .65 and .75 per line if you were lucky.
You were PAID for NOT working. Yes, it's THE SAME. nm

My job is working out splendidly, I wouldn't say big bucks, but good pay and nice people. sm
I am just looking for something to do in the evening and weekends. I am going to the job during the week daytime hours. I miss transcribing as it is not transcribing. Thanks for your concern. But, yes this job I am working at during the day is a breath of fresh air compared to trying to sort through transcription companies, trying to figure out how they pay, by the character, by the 65 character count line or gross lines. I really am enjoying the people the place too. I would recommend trying an out of the house job for everyone on this board that can!
Working and not getting paid?? What are the options?
Hi,
I have a friend who is a newer MT and has been working very hard for a particular company. This company has not paid her and they owe her over $1000.00 at this point. She is a newer MT and would probably have a harder time finding something else so she is caught between a rock and a hard place. The owners of the company will NOT return her calls or emails but yet they still have her work. She does not know a lawyer and does not have the money to hire one. Does anyone have any advice for her on what she should do? I have been in a similar situation but I was finally paid and I did not work much. My family kept telling me to quit but yet I needed the experience. Any help would be appreciated. I really feel for her.
Thanks!!!
Working and not getting paid?? What are the options?
THANK YOU to all that applied. I have let my friend know to read your messages. Great suggestions!! Thanks again everyone!!!!
Agreed. I also got a nice Christmas bonus working for a tiny private practice. sm
In a smaller office you're seen as an actual person.
How do MTs get paid if it is not on time sheet. Are they just working to keep
p
Why would you keep working for a company for 3 months without being paid? sm
I'm sorry this happened to you, but when the first month's check didn't arrive, that would have been it. I still enjoy transcribing (most days) but not enough to do it for free.
Good luck to you in getting your money That's an awful thing to happen to anyone.
Been working for Cardioscribe for a year, never once did not get paid within one week of end of pay
Instead of complaining why don't you do, as I did, and just ask. The line counts are being finalized now and the bank deposit will be made tomorrow. As you mentioned, in past posts pay day is the 7th and 22nd, so start the complaining tomorrow if we do not get paid. I have worked here a year and never once did not get paid within 7 days of close of a pay period. That is pretty good compared to other places I have worked for that took 2 and 3 weeks to get paid for a period of time. For those of you that like to say nasty little things about Cardioscribe, quite often, please do us all a favor and find yourself another job and good luck to you. This will blow your mind I am sure, but I am not afraid to backup what I post with my name. Sheryl Cantrell. You are very welcome to contact me if you have questions and apparently do not know how to ask the right person to get answers. I know Tonya posted her name, email and phone number and none of you who seem so unhappy working here have contacted her. As I told her today, there is just some people that like to stir up trouble no matter where you work. If you can find a place that treats you with more respect, kindness, and never a problem getting paid, please go and be happy.
Very nice owner, nice work, nice place - sm
the leave you alone. I left because they do not budge from their pay which was kind of mediocre. I would go back if I had to because they were extremely nice.
Very nice people, nice place to work. nm
nm
Yes, nice QA (and nice people in general), but very little work right now. nm
nm
Yes! Nice lady, nice company. nm
xx
I second that. Amphion is nice, nice, nice
Training on the system, not paid, but if you are physically typing reports then you are getting paid
nm
Oh, yea -- PAID, too. Grandmother PAID LEAVE would be a great drawing card to TT !!
Just love that PAID TIME OFF !!
Any company that makes you wait to get paid until they get paid by the client
is not a company you want to get involved with. That's part of being an MTSO, figuring out how to cover your payroll while waiting to get paid. I would stay away!
Is this a live count of lines paid for or same as CTRL I that we do not get paid for ?? nm
m
Ditto.. Over 13 years experience working in hospitals doing all types of reports, currently working
for a national etc.. and Spheris told me I didnt have the qualifications. What cracked me up was the hospital I was working at at the time contracted some of our work out to them.. What a joke..I was good enough to work for a hospital and gave them work, yet not qualified enough for them. What is wrong with this picture.
Me too.. the outsourced company was paid for and paid me for headers, but OSI does/did not.

I have always paid yearly and have never paid or been assessed a penaltly. nm
nm
Be glad you get paid tomorrow. We are paid on the 1st and the 15th, so sm
since the 1st is on a weekend, we don't get paid until Monday. It will happen again on the 15th of August …sigh. It is the only thing I do not like about the company, though, so I guess a few weekends of poverty a year is not too much.
MQ same situation. No pay for working holidays, no pay for working weekends nothing. Now noone works
much anymore and so they jerk the work out of the accounts to some place that throws it back with a lot of bad bad quality. This is the NE region. I dont know what the others are doing.
that's nice. have a nice weekend.

Nice post, thank you and have a nice day. nm
.
Lori never paid me and now ETC has not paid my friend.
What is WRONG with these companies? 
Is it still being paid on time if you are paid on the 1st and 15th.....
and if the 15th falls on a Saturday getting paid on the 17th? My bank is open and posts on Saturday that means I am not being paid on the 15th doesn't? This has happened a lot lately.
