VR is not cost effective for MTs
I agreed to a certain amount for standard transcription and a certain amount for editing. You need twice the amount of minutes for editing to make what you need but the minutes aren't there. In any event, it is not worth it. I say look for another MT job that doesn't use VR or find another profession.
ADP/ MW, yes, but not effective till February.

How it is cost effective -- see inside
Why would any company care how long it takes for an MT to complete their work if they are paying by the line typed? I just posted that I would try and find the Advance article, but I believe it said that offshore MTs are only 25% productive as US based transcriptionists. I doubt that Transcend would risk lying on their SEC documents. There are many companies out there that send much more to India.
Bottom line, I am not sure why all of this is being brought up now and by people who state they do not even work at Transcend. I have a close knit team and we are all happy at Transcend. I never said they were perfect, and I am sure there are companies out there that compare, but it's a great fit for me.
... which is a pretty effective way of shutting people up,
An email would've been a better use of our time. Plus then we could just delete it.
Holy $&@! No wonder it is not cost effective to do VR. I make double that sm
for VR/ASR at WMX.

Thank you for a very worthwhile post. Just a word of unasked-for advice to all MTs from one who has been kicked around the block a time or two: Keep a file and a log. On my log, I write the time I log on and the time I log off and the number of hours I worked that day. In the file I print out memoranda such as the one cited above. If I ever have to go to the Labor Board, Wage and Hour Commission, or my private attorney, I will have a blazing .357 magnum in terms of the file. It is a shame that we have to take such proactive measures, but as they say in the Marine Corps, CYA. Good luck to you and don't take any guff from these people. They need you as much as you need them. Too many MTs are wishy-washy and think they have to take any kind of nonsense doled out to them. They don't. The labor laws do indeed apply to at-home workers.
New accounts come on in June and Jan, so they

Huh? It's scheduled for June 2. nm

I leflt in June. sm
One of the accounts just dumped us. It got slow all of a sudden and I was told that it would pick up. Then I found out there was plenty of work. Then all of a sudden on a Saturday we get an e-mail that said immediately we could not do the account anymore. They offered a couple different accounts but they were really bad and I wouldn't take them. Horrible platforms, money etc. My problem with KS and most of these companies is they string you along and lie to you. It wouldn't bother me so much if they would just come clean wtih you when you ask a question.
Thank you June and link inside...

Interesting Discussion on June 21 -- Did you see that?
Did you go to about the middle of page 4 -- thread started June 21, 2006. Begins with:
Anyone turned down offers at Amphion, Axolotl or Webmedx - would like honest opinions
She's in Connecticut and she had an ad on MTJobs at the end of June. nm

Here's the link for their ad from June 16, 2009 (sm)
Hope this helps
When doing a search on google, it said there were omitted links due to duplicates, but I clicked to show them anyway and that's when I found the link for their ad on MTStars.
They had an ad here in early June 2006. Did anyone start with them? nm

It is finally in place June 1st. It is reasonable and sm
really good. My sister has had it for yours and says Guardian is better than BCBS.
Good luck June I hope to be out
of there soon also. There's no way you can make a living there with this company. Good luck.
Any info on the go live starting June 1 at WMX?

Quit MQ in June - still in shock with new job. Plenty of work, OT available. (sm)
I just can't tell you how fortunate I feel. The bonus program is good and understandable, you don't have to be a math genius to figure it out. I have 2 accounts, great supervisor, pleasant office staff. For those of you still unhappy with your current jobs, keep the faith, there are good companies out there. Good luck on your search.
Did you notice on our community page new hires May/June - I think there were 19 or 20 of them. (sm)
Nothing against the new hires, but from our point of view it stinks to hire new people while many of us are/were scrapping for work.
I did notice they haven't posted any new hires like they did for May and June. nm
