In Reply to: latest TSI info is just another lie - BZmom
Five months and counting now. Lies told to me were, pay you when I get paid, pay you next week, pay you Saturday. Still no check though.

I didn't get paid, but work as been so low, my check won't be much anyway. :( nm
I think they did, but you didn't get paid for anything that autopopulated. They use ExText. nm

They paid 7 & 8 cpl before and didn't give raises. They were using

One account is my own, which I get paid 2.00
per report/page because its not only plain films but CTs, MRIs and Nuc Meds. I also work part-time for an agency at a rate of 1.50 per report.
Yep, it didn't help any at all that it was the same account SM
at WMX. The specs were so different and the hospitals and work types were all lumped together. I rarely got a dictator that I was familiar with. Don't know really what was up with the fact that it kept getting caught up. I do know they use another service or two so maybe they were relying on those folks more. All in all, though, a big disappointment.
We get paid for links on the account I am on. sm
The specials that I get are all the shortest and the best. Ex: PICC line insertion. Right side. Give it a normal.
They didn't lose the account, only one of the
work types, which granted was a large percentage of that account. There was a conference call this week and the other half of the company has signed some very large contracts and will continue to cover the MT side of things for now.
I remember some posts at the beginning of the year from a lady who didn't get paid - she was stea
Yes. I wouldn't classify them as good or bad. Pay was okay. Account I was on was okay. Didn&#
like my supervisor very much. She was kind of disorganized and didn't really communicate all that effectively. All in all, pretty comparable to other places I've worked. There was a problem with running out of work and when you are an employee instead of IC you are expected to sit there and keep checking for work during your shift which kind of sucked cause you didn't get paid for basically being on-call.
Paid for spaces depends on the account. Good company. nm

Then when we MT's are **thrown on** an account because of lack of work on our account
What is so hard to understand about that?
Then we have that account info filed away in a folder in our Outlook Express by name of account and can look at past emails sent out regarding that account. Not fun to be tossed on an account that you have never seen NOR ever received an email on. Sounds like business to me.
My account has lots of work..ask for another account/nm

Ever thought of a home health care aide? Usually paid training and start work right away. Can work

They didn't take our jobs, QT gave them our jobs. The account is now
back in the hands of US MTs, or will be in just a couple of weeks.
Maybe is it for a particular account. I work M-F. You are required to work one weekend an month.

You have to work 3 of the big 6 holidays. For those that you work, you are paid
time and a half. For those that you do not work, you can either get paid by using PTO or they are treated like normal days off (for which you are not paid). Sometimes, they will even pay double time for the big holidays if there is a lot of work on the system. I've found them to be exceedingly fair.
OSi didn't work out for me...lack of work sm
I worked there for about 3 months last year, and even though I was on 3 different accounts, I was continually running out of work. They wanted me to flex to meet their schedule needs (working on my days off and late at night), but do to having small children, and having to have a babysitter when I am working, I need a set scheduled, and they just couldn't handle that. I also thought they micromanaged. I like to be left alone to do work. I ended up slinking back to the Q after 3 months was up.
Does that mean that you work for MDI-FL and your paid 9.5 there?? Thanks

I did some work for them and NEVER got paid
They are unreasonable, giving their editors 10+ accounts to be in charge of, and they, in turn, give the MTs the work to do. Therer are so few MTs that they get about 400 minutes to type each day. They dont pay but like 7 cpl if you're lucky, and they work you to death. They sonorq (like msn messenger) you to death too, and they just plain out lie about raises, etc. Like I said, they never paid me even.
Don't work for DIT if you want to get paid!
Two out of three paychecks have bounced so far. It seems they write checks with no money to cover them. I hereby take back all the nice things I had said about them being nice people to work for. Nice people do not bounce paychecks. Getting paid from them has been the worst experience I've ever had with any employer. I can't believe they bounce paychecks like they do. As of today, I'm done. This is a warning to others, don't let my experience be yours.
paid less for p.r.n. work
I'm feeling confused about why the MT business seems to pay less per line for p.r.n. work than part-time or full-time work. Out in the world where people do not stay at home, a premium is usually paid to temp services or to employees who agree to be available on a p.r.n. basis. Is it just my experience with certain companies? I would like to hear any thoughts on why this is true in this industry or if your experience has been different. I am beginning to feel dirty for asking for p.r.n. work.
Another day of no work. They must get paid
a lot to sell the Americans short on work.
Were you also not paid for the work you did?
If I'm tracking this thread correctly, that would make you MT #4 that worked but was not paid.
This is alarming, to say the least.
paid if you work
x
I used to work there and know people who still do...they have no work on clinic account but if you
are acute care or have experience in acute care you will be fine...
Didn't work for me
Not a great experience for me. I felt they did not have a clue as to what an MT was/did, espected way too much, way too soon. Training period of a few hours, then expected to make line count within 1 to 2 weeks on brand new account that no one had done yet - actually expecting a brand new employee to implement the account (huge) and make 1200 lines a day at the same time! I had 25 years' experience at the time and lasted there a very short time as I am older but wiser now!
Didn't work well enough for me.
When pressing the foot pedal, sometimes it would do nothing or would hesitate before hearing any dictation. I found this unacceptable and a pain in the butt. I don't think Vonage is allowing MTs anymore. At least, that's what I last heard.
didn't work for me
disorganized, wouldn't know QA if it bit 'em, lots of files to download and cross reference, have to wait 6-8 weeks for first check, lots of phone calls (interruptions)....
Job didn't work out
Personally, I think it is the company that should feel bad. What did you do to make you feel bad when the company turns out not to be the same as they seemed to be in the sales pitch? If you showed up on the first day of this job and couldn't transcribe, do you think they would hesitate to let you go?
What we need in our industry is more courageous folks who will stand up for themselves and not take any @#$%#@#$ from these companies that basically lie to get you to work for them. They are taking advantage of us and it is only because we are letting them get away with it. I know, cause I've been there. I stuck it out with one awful company for 6 months. After that, there have been some that I've rejected before we got past the contract. There were at least 3 that I quit after less than a week. Same story. The job was totally different than it was supposed to be, according to the description of the recruiter.
Don't sweat it. Just tell them goodbye, it didn't work out.
Didn't work for me...
I tried working for them, but they told me I could not work a flexible schedule, no matter that I would get my required amount of hours...when I say flexible I mean I need to work off and on with no set scheduled times to work. They were always calling me wondering why I wasn't working...this was the pits.
I tried this, but it didn't work. Thanks. nm

LOL, you must be one who didn't do their work
As stated many times, if you work your schedule, meet your line counts and produce quality documents, you will do just fine.
If you cannot produce quality documents, if you do not want to work the schedule you set and if you cannot produce the minimum line count which you were aware of when you were hired, (1200 lines), then don't come to Axolotl.
Axolotl is not the place for MTs who do their own thing. If you are disciplined, want to make good money and have good benefits, then it might be the place for you.
did that, didn't work either

you WISH you didn't have to work sm
from home---have kids???? How about be thankful you CAN work from home if you need to work from home.
If you are only doing this because you have kids you are probably in the wrong profession. you are saying your employer has serious mental problems.......you are working and you get a check correct? You work from home and don't have to face this person correct?
Sounds to me like he isn't the only one who has some problems!
it's been done - didn't work out well. n/m
.
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!!
I can work all I want, but don't get paid overtime. I don't
have to clock in so I don't know how they would know how many hours I worked anyway.
I work them now..always been paid on time
and the changes that might be coming
You do not get paid for holidays unless you work them. sm
You do have to work 3 of the 6 recognized holidays. One of those has to be either Christmas or Thanksgiving. If you work Christmas one year, the next you have to work Thanksgiving. If you do not work on the holiday, you have to use PTO if you want to be paid.
Getting paid by the minute.....how does that work??
Since I can't imagine getting paid by the minute, how does that work and what is considered a good rate?? Thanks!!!
I don't work OT and when I do, it is paid at OT rates, which is the same as sm
holiday rates or 1-1/2 times my regular rate.
You keep saying this but do not back it up. Call the office and talk to Karyn; she will look into it and make sure that it is done. They cannot pay what they do not know. What department do you work for (ortho? B4? Rad?)
Actually, no. Most people would get paid at work!

I thought you didn't work for MQ????????
MQ is not for the transcriptionist.
MQ is for the company.
Okay - that didn't work. Try mditrans.com

If they didn't want weekend work,
I would have taken the job. But who wants weekends? That stinks.
well, I didn't work between the holidays at all....
so I don't know about that time period, but I didn't have any work at all on Tuesday, 1/3,
Didn't work for Shapin......

Okay - I probably didn't work long enough to get used to it. nm

I would much rather do volunteer work, if I didn't have
to work. There are so many places that need volunteers!
Last I checked I didn't need gas to get to work
On my accounts everyone knows my name, I don't usually have reason to call the office. If I have problems I talk with my team leader or the regional manager, which is what I suggest you do. Why is it hard for people to voice their concerns to the company or people in charge of their specific accounts?? If you have no work then ask for more accounts.
didn't work - already tried that yesterday.
