A company is ONLY supposed to verify that someone worked there, what dates they worked, whether PT o
and last date worked. It opens everyone up to a lawsuit if more is given, so most companies are told by their attorneys and business advisors to verify only.
No one has a right to a reference, only verification of employment.
When I worked there, I had a primary acct and 4 other accts. SM
Pay was okay. There is a site for MTs to get samples from different accts. You can also email other MTs on the same account and ask for samples. I left before they implemented the new platform, Cornerstone.
PS. I worked for MQ before Spheris, but I left before all the major changes took place. Of the two, I preferred MQ.
Every acct I've worked on at WMX is overflow sm
and you say something to the STMs about it, they insist it's not so. I don't even think they know what an overflow account is.
I worked a short time, El Centro & Salinas acct.
It took 3 1/2 solid days for the install (for free) System not too stable, had to contact tech support constantly. QA was from overseas, some inhouse. The account were also sent there after a certain time of day, 5pm I think it was. The particular account I worked on was really difficult lot of accents (account near Mexico border) A lot of slurring and speedy ones, they did not seem to care how they dictated. I am familiar with ESL too. I did not enjoy the experience.
I did speak with my manager. Work was promised. No work there when I needed to work.
I see the reports everyday too, but when I get work it is of bad quality, then there is no work unless I work diffrent shifts. Thank you.
THer, this is a stupid question but
how exactly do you negogiate? I'm just curious as to how one goes about this, because I feel like I have to accept whatever they offer.
For example, if they offer you 8 cpl, do you just say I'm sorry, I can't work for that amount and see if they counteroffer? Or do you say something along the lines of I've had xx years of experience in acute care (or whatever) and I believe my skills are worth xx amount.
I guess I should just treat it like I was applying for any other job and say I need this amount??
Actually ther sort of offshore those jobs too. sm
There are Indians here on visas that take these IT jobs and get paid half of what an American makes. They're trying to get the government to grant more of these types of visas so they can bring more in. 
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.
Don't speak for me-you don't know who I work for
I already stated I do not work for JLG. You said you wasted 2 weeks on an interviewing process which you later recanted by stating you weren't applying for a job, so your credibility is shot to smithereens. If I were to place all my confidence in your vague, childlike claims based on your 2 weeks of interaction with the company, then I would classify myself as having a low IQ.
On the other hand, anyone here reading this (ugly word edited for the moderator's sake) thread can do a Google search based on the owner's name and find postings going back greater than a decade. They can then read those postings and use their higher level IQs to formulate an informed opinion/decision of the owner. Since I've had the benefit of reading the owner's posting for a decade, I have formed an opinion of her that blocks out your (ugly word left out for the moderator's benefit) brief, biased and vague claims of lying which you have yet to provide clear details of. With each post, it appears your IQ drops.
I work on Scribe, so I can only speak for that but....
I really like it...very easy to learn, it is Word-based, and I get an awesome line count without feeling like I am working for hours upon hours without making any progress...Good Luck to you!!! I am glad I made the switch...
I only work on 2 accounts...can't speak for the others.
Supposed to be easy work, but you won't ever get more than 8 cpl. How it was, anyway..nm
s
How are you supposed to know when the work will be in to make up?
We are not privvy to how much work is in the system at any given time. We only know what is in our queue. This is just absurd on so many levels.
I lost an acct with MQ, called the hospital and they told me who had the acct. I chose not to go wi

I can only speak for myself, but my work flow is fine.

I'd like to know the bad platform and which accounts run out of work. I'm supposed to have bac
accounts to work on...Please email me.. I cant afford to work on the Mojave Desert LOL
So you are supposed to work until that minute like nothing is wrong? sm
Do they really expect everyone to just say OK and carry on as usual until that time? They're nuts.
the new accts were supposed to already be on board and still no work
x
Same here. When there is no work, how are you supposed to make the requirement
asd
Why were you supposed to start work at noon?
BECAUSE YOU HAVE A SCHEDULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Duh! You are just as anal as they are. No wonder you love working there.
FOR THE LAST TIME....IF YOU ARE A TRUE IC, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE A SCHEDULE!!! Whether you emailed them or not is NOT the point. Sheesh!
If you have scheduled hours/a scheduled start and stop time, YOU ARE BEING TREATED LIKE AN EMPLOYEE. GET A CLUE!
Older posts about them have the MTs bouncing from acct to acct and not being able to make
s
My acct mgr sent an update this morning stating a large acct sm
starting next week; another in 2 more weeks; another in early October; and another in November. This is just a normal end of summer / holiday slowdown. I'm sure other posters on this board are also out of work due to the same circumstances.
I guess our clue is supposed to be when we run out of work all the time?

Not on cardiology acct, but do work for SGS.
Can I help?
May I ask? Do you who have no work do acute, ASR, have more than 1 acct? (sm)
The company I work for has had people who didn't have work while there was tons of OT in other accounts. Come to find out some of them (not all) refused to do ASR or Voice Recognition, they did only clinics or ERs and refused to flex their hours to help get their lines in.
Is this pretty much the case with Webmedex or do you think they have just over-hired MTs and don't have enough work to go around.
I see they are hiring again, that is why I am asking, not to start anything. Please do not be offended by my questions.
Thanks.
It's how many reports you sent to QA for each acct. you work on. NM

Ok, let me rephrase that: We are on OT *and* have a ton of work on my acct. nm

Give it a whirl. I WAS on that same acct, same pay. Asked and got put on an acct just as bad, so I

s
Ask to be put on another acct. I'm part time and work
full time hours because our account is always behind.
They have lots O' work depending on the acct.
If you're on an account with terrible sound quality and very heavy ESL, then they have tons of work for you. If the particular account has no problems with the platform, you can bet there won't be work. They advertise all the time because they have tons o' work on certain accounts and they have tons o' turnover in both accounts and MTs.
More than 1 backup acct? Able to work more than 8hrs or not? Is OT
s
I know the MTs that work this acct. load them from a pool. However, sm
I think that is a very good idea - batching docs and/or specialties together. I wonder why they don't do that, and I am going to ask! Thanks! If you saw my post above, there are a total of 37 specialties on my list, made up of approx. 4-5 docs in each specialty, so I'm looking at learning well over 100 doctors in only 40 hrs. of training? That's a joke.
I work for MTSO and know the hospital acct
I work on is a big one, just do not know how many MTs that on this particular account. When you say you correct only erroneous text I am not really sure what you mean by this. I correct everything I see that is an error so can you explain further as far as erroneous. Do you read the entire report as it goes or ?
I work on acute care accounts, so I can't speak for the radiology side. (SM)
The work does look like it's beginning to pick up though for acute care.
So does anyone work on the acct that DiskRiter is hiring for now? It's in Florida

I haven't needed more work - there is plenty on my acct

how are you supposed to work and watch your mail all the time to play a stupid contest?
Transcend cares only about the big pay for its managers and corporate people, nothing for its MTs. Pay used to be decent, is less than mediocre for that horrible editing platform we are forced to use. ROMs have nothing to do but yell at the MTs and invent first grade games to play. I would rather have had the $1.48 postage and $1.00 it cost for the mouse pad and strip calendar.
Remember the old days when Edix used to give the Drake and Drake drug book for MT week? That was when Edix was a good company, too.
older and wiser, can you email me the name of your supervisor/acct you work on Thanks!

Good & bad posts in the past. Must work 1 Sat. a month. Supposed to be gross line pay. Some days

How was your acct at Amphion? I have a HORRIBLE acct...
I am new to Amphion and have this account that has a lot of account specifics, no automatic ADT (which means I have to search for the names, etc) which is not a problem for me, but there is one dictator who is ALWAYS awful, and I have been getting him back to back to back my first week with Amphion. Did you find that you basically only had 1 or 2 dictators while there or did you have more? Of course, I would not mind doing him occasionally but can't do this all day. I will never be able to make any money, especially at the line rate that I am being paid. I have 2 children of my own and 3 of my sister's children in my care. I cannot afford to do this everyday and don't know what to do. I work as an IC for another company making 9 cents a line, which is much more than Amphion, but really wanted employee status so was willing to make a little less, but I am afraid it is not going to work. I do not want to have to find yet another company and start all over with them to only find out that they suck too. Any suggestions?
Usuall plenty of work - demand a secondary or tertiary acct. nm

Worked there once. Not much work then either.
//
ITA. I work for WMX, never worked for
Transolutions, but if you read the archives not much good said about Transolutions.
Anyone work or have ever worked for...sm
Allstate Transcription? Just curious as to different experiences.
I don't work for MDI, but I have worked as an IC. SM
Let me try to explain this as best I can. As an IC, you work when you want. That works well, except the company you work for needs the work done now; so they may tend to over-hire and the other issue being an IC, is that work tends to dry up over the summer and over holidays. That's a fact of life.
Many MT's who work as IC's, have more than one job.
Honestly, I have nothing to do with MDI and I work as an employee, because I need benefits and I need work.
Please look at all your options.
Wow! Is there always work? I wish I worked
Frustrating to have work controlled the way it is ESL or not. Never know what kind of low money or good money my day will bring, day or night, weekend or not. Care to share your job source without giving it totally away???
I don't work for TT, have never worked for TT.
So I don't know if the company I work for is necessarily better, but I love it. And, yes, there is loads of work and has been for the year that I have been employed there.
If you worked for a co. that did work for web, sm
how would you know what the web employee work situation was? That wouldn't be any of your business and I don't think the company is calling you to tell you they're giving you work while I am out of work.
If you work or have worked
for OSi specifically on ExText would love some feedback on the way they keep line counts and getting paid. you can PM or EM me if you would like
I worked for them, they are okay to work for. nm
