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 that one job posting stating exactly that, haven't followed the trend closely, thoug
Do they still exist? Haven't been posted about in a long time. nm

Notice is a courtesy, not a rule and they don't give you notice when they fire you
Giving a 2-week notice is common courtesy, and in most all my jobs, I have given them that courtesy; however, a company never gives someone notice when they are firing them. In my opinion, if a company does not treat their employees right, they do not deserve to get any notice at all.
As a matter of fact, I just left a company without notice. I felt horrible about doing it to my team but not to the company. While they never messed up on my pay, I was under constant stress. They treated several other people horribly and also changed all the terms of my employment contract within months of hiring me, which was going to cost me $800 a paycheck. I am the major breadwinner for a family of five and couldn't hang around a second longer losing that kind of money.
The only reason you would not want to quit without notice is if you want to use them as a reference and/or want the chance to go back to them in the future. I was advised by a recruiter that you should never put anything on your resume that is less than a year, so you really don't want to use them as a reference anyway, and you certainly don't want to go back to them.
Messing with someone's money is a big NO-NO, especially when they are costing you $400 for a second time. Heck no, I wouldn't give these people notice. There are some great companies out there hiring right now.
Feel free to contact me by email if you would like some more detailed information about the companies I narrowed my search down to. I was very sceptical about trusting another company with the bad luck I've had (just as you have) in the last few years, but I think I finally found somewhere I can be happy at for a long, long time (of course only time will tell, but I'm feeling very optimistic).
:) Best of luck to you!
old hires get double pay; new hires now get 4 cents more;

June
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.
I believe it i was effective June 1st.

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.
I left after nine years in June before the pay cut and I am very happy in my new position and making

The Rates Are Posted Here and Posted Below
The service owner fees are posted in a UnionNow post (below), but here they are again:
SERVICE OWNERS CHARGE:
$0.115 - $0.25 per line for full transcription of acute care on 24/7 accounts
$2.75 - $7.65 per report for full transcription of pathology, lab, specialty operative notes, plain film and interventional radiology
$0.097 - $0.125 per line for VR editing
OF THAT MONEY, MTs ARE RECEIVING
$0.85 - $1.25 per report full transcription
$0.06 - $0.115 per line full transcription
$0.035 - $0.06 per line for VR editing
AS OUR PRODUCTION BRINGS THE MONEY IN, WE DESERVE A LARGER CHUNK OF THE PROFITS - OFFICE STAFF CAN BE TRIMMED INSTEAD OF THE PRODUCTION STAFF. IF A RECEPTIONIST MISSES A DAY OF WORK, ANYONE CAN ANSWER THE PHONE IN HER PLACE. IF AN MT NEEDS A DAY OR SO OFF, PATIENT CARE CAN SUFFER BECAUSE AN INTEGRAL MEMBER OF A HEALTH CARE TEAM IS UNAVAILABLE.
WE ARE STILL EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN THE HEALTH CARE PICTURE. DO NOT SELL YOURSELVES SHORT.
IF YOU ARE AGAINST UNIONS OR INITIATIVES, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY RESPECT YOUR OPINION, BUT BEG THAT YOU RESEARCH, SPEAK TO OTHERS, EDUCATE YOURSELVES ABOUT WORKERS UNITED. WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE HERE; THEY'VE TAKEN ALMOST EVERYTHING FROM US.
WE PROPOSE:
$1.25 PER REPORT TRANSCRIBED IN THE U.S.A. BY A U.S. MTs
$0.10 PER LINE TRANSCRIBED IN THE U.S.A. BY A U.S. MTs
$0.075 PER VR LINE EDITED IN THE U.S.A. BY U.S. MTs

New hires
They probably are hiring extra expecting that all might not stay, or that some won't work out.
I'm one of those new hires, and...
I hope that all the TT questions on this board are not an indication of how difficult it is to communicate with supes at TT. What I usually do if I have non-critical questions, especially for a new employer or in any situation where I know more questions will come up over time, is I just write them down and when I have 3 or 4 I'll send off an email. Keeps me from bombarding someone with emails when every hour another little oh what about.... pops into my mind.
Wonder why no hires in NY, CA and MO? (sm)
Live in Missouri and have never seen anything that restricted us before.
Any new hires for MDI ...sm
Any new hires completed training? Is there enough work on your primary to keep you busy? What has your experience been after completing your 5 reports or 20 minutes of dictation? Please share new hires or current employees? Thanks.
yes, new hires
do work 1 wkend day every week.
Older/previous hires only had/have to do 2 wk-end days a month.
they have a number of accounts, and i am sure they could accommodate your preference if you are fortunate enough to be hired. Very good place to work, in my opinion!!
The new hires were either CM hires (for those sm
weird schedules like Wed-Sun 2nd shift) or for the new Enterprise account that had to hire the already-existing in house MTs; those hospitals MTs came along with the package and are now Webmedx MTs. Not new hires in the sense you were meaning.
Amphion hires PT. sm
You set your own schedule; weekends/nights only if you want it in your schedule. Always have work. Good pay, good accounts, good people.
Who hires newbies?
work at home only.
What Co Hires CherryPickers?
:(
How long do new hires usually sm
stay on 100% QA with TransHealth? TIA!
I am looking for a company that hires ICs.
///////
JLG hires IC's and has a current ad
Good place!
I would have to say the MTs my company hires--sm
are for the most part unable to do acute care. Most of them seem to be from really small hospitals/doctor offices and have never been exposed to a wide variety of drugs, surgical procedures, therapies, you name it. Most of them are also not interested in learning anything, they just want to type and get paid and have me do their hard work for them.
Who still hires SE status?

Who hires trainees?
I know this has probably been asked before, but does anyone know of companies that hire trainees? I have a friend with some medical experience who wants to train on the job.
Any company that hires PT for 500 lph....sm
I am looking for extra work but can only commit to no more than 500 lines a day, sometimes less and allow me work any time as long as I do the lines. I some times have slow mornings and sometimes I have slow afternoons, depending on what doctor's are on and would like to be able to fill my time in between with some extra work.
Hires newbies
Allegiant and Sound Medical Transcription. Both are very nice owners/companies to work for/with. Good luck!
Let them train all their new hires on
My problem is that I cannot see why should I be moved to another account when my account is going to the new MT's they keep training? Problem lies in overhiring and not enough accounts!
training new hires??
so you aren't paid hourly?
Medware hires SE. nm

MDI-MD - Recent Hires
Just curious - if you had a phone interview, was the recruiter on time to call you? I had one scheduled but haven't received any contact.
Anyone else with this experience?
This is what they are currently requiring for new hires...SM
work shift either Sun-Thu or Tue-Sat, 700 lines each of those 5 days. Have to work a weekend day every week, not just twice a month like older requirements for existing employees.
