I worked for them on 2 accounts, both which went to Keystrokes. I moved with one to Keystrokes and what a great company! I never knew that the BS from Peachtree was not normal. I am much happier, get paid on time and do not have to worry about taxes or the moody owner at PTS or his pets.

Peachtree
Had telephone interview yesterday with them. Did not realize they were only IC status. Production is paid by the minute. They sounded nice, don't know any more than that. I want/need employee status, so had to end interview. Hope this helps.
Peachtree - GA
Would appreciate any recent info on this company out of GA.
Peachtree - sm
I was offered a position - IC only, no benes, paid by dictated minute. Wasn't for me.
Peachtree/PTA
If they are the same company I attempted to work for earlier this year calling themselves PTA I worked 3 days and they never paid me for it.
Peachtree
Good benefits, owners are nice people. Steph is the owner's daughter and pretty much in charge. Okay outfit if you can handle their office manager with first name that starts with an A. She intially I believe went to school to be PA, but has been with them for long, long time. She may be good at hiring, but...
Must not be the same Peachtree
I worked there a few yrs ago and pay was always on time and correct. I never had any problems with them. They also do have benefits. The last I knew they had health insurance, life insurance, dental of which they paid a portion of. I found them to be completely fair. Bruce and Suzie owners with Stephanie taking over. They were all very pleasant people from Rhonda, Steph, Bruce, Stephanie, Alice, mother Anne and their computer person.
I think its not the same peachtree
Trust me I am not getting ripped off. I am paid by the minute, and I keep track of the minutes I do, when I receive my minutes from them, theirs is usually higher than mine by a few. I am making great money even after taxes. Are you sure this is the same peachtree?

Sorry to hear about your problems with Peachtree. I've never worked for anyone who acted that way. I'm sure you'll find a better place to put your experience.
On another note, I had the same thing happen to me - 39-yo ex-husband died and my twins were 9 at the time. Don't know if you know this yet, but you will receive social security benefits for your daughter until she turns 18 and even longer if she goes to college full-time. If you haven't done so, you need to call your local Social Security office to get this set up.
Good luck and god bless your little girl - believe me, I know it's not easy!!

There is nothing that irks me more than someone to work for someone and then not get paid in a timely manner. I have no tolerance for it. It has not happened to me but it has happened to my husband and it really ticks me off. And when your child's father dies who you were obviously involved with at some point and they have the nerve to call at the graveside. When I got to my car they would not have wanted to hear what I had to say when I called them. That ticks me off and I don't even know you. That is so inconsiderate!

If you plan to work on it brush up on your fracture ESL English, you'll need it.

I worked for this company previously and they are very organized, great people! Pay was always on time too.

Anyone know anything about Peachtree Transcription out of Georgia?
peachtree transcription
Anyone ever had any experiences with this company? They quote you a line rate then pay you something different. Also, took 3 weeks to get a check. Very rude people to work for.
peachtree in Georgia?
Great company! I got paid what was quoted and then after 90 days was given 4 cent raise (paid per minute) which I was unaware was coming. I send my bill on the 1st of the month and the check is in hands within seven days. If it is the same company, I personally have nothing but good things to say about them.
Peachtree Transcription
poor human resource techniques. They must have financial problems since they are continuously making excuses about the pay. I had to take off due to a death in my family, my 9 year old daughters father, my ex, who was only 39 years old. They were calling me repeatedly during the funeral and at the graveside needing me to work.
When I finally talked to Stephanie she was yelling in the phone at me, Do you know what kind of bind you put us in???? I resigned.
oing on two weeks and have yet to receive my last check. I am obviously not getting child support any longer and I had to take off work to help my child through this.
Bad company to get involved with!!!!!!!!!!
Peachtree Transcription
Does anyone have opinions they'd like to share regarding pros/cons of Peachtree Transcription out of Atlanta, GA? Not much in the archives about them. Are they easy to work with as an IC? What do you think of their medical insurance? Good managers, pay on time, decent dictators? Thanks a lot for your help! I am considering three offers and need to know more about this company before I jump in!
SmartMed or Peachtree?? Help please!!!
 Any info on these companies would be appreciated. Which company would you choose?
Thanks

Anything re: Peachtree transcription out of Georgia
I would like the good and bad of this company. I am considering and would be interested in hearing. I have been with other national companies and just want to hear the scoop. If interested in talking over the phone, I can call.
Peachtree Transcription, LLD - anyone ever worked there?
Just wondered how it is working there? Is it a fair place?
I have a friend looking to work from home, and she's new at this.
I'm telling her to really do her homework and not be afraid to ask around how it has been to work for the different companies before she invests a whole lot of $$$.
One co I went with drove me into bankrupcy before I could get out. OUCH>
Peachtree Transcription, LLD - anybody know of this company?
They are in Atlanta. Say they pay by the Minute. Not sure what that means.
Any help would be appreciated.
Any info on Peachtree? Offered position there
I was offered a position at Peachtree today. Does anyone have any info on this company? Easy to work with or not, pay on time, easy platform, flexible with appointments, etc? Thanks for any and all information, as I couldn't find much in the old posts. Thanks!
Info about Peachtree and New England Medical please?
Any recent information about these two companies would be appreciated.
Trying to build his business? He's been in business over 15 years!!!!!! sm
I also had a hard time, nearly impossible actually, getting paid. The owner does this on the side; he is very involved with other things.
Peachtree Transcription Assoc...anyone have any recent info? Not much in the archieves
I saw that they pay by the minute...is that good, bad? Never been paid that way before. All I know about them is that they hire IC only...if that is still the case?
If you don't know what is confidential, you have no business being in any business.
This is confidential information and should not be divulged. It is one of the biggest problems a co can have. If you have to ask...well I won't be able to explain it to you
Not too much anymore
Generally they don't want you working for another company in the same geographical area, but don't say too much about having other jobs. They know it's hard to make a decent living with one. I work for one national as an MT and for a smaller company as an Editor and either cares, they just care if you slack on one to work for the other.
That was last mo. Before that I used to do okay, but that isn't possible at MQ anymore. nm
nm
Yup, most definitely. Can hardly get 200 lph anymore.

Rae are you out there anymore?

Do you have to use their CPU or don't they do this anymore? Thx. nm
s
I don't think she is there anymore.
nm.
RUN....they don't do DD anymore
x
They don't anymore.

Not there anymore but the same
experience because if you ask a question you get many different answers and you never know what one is right. I hated the platform and QA was the rudest QA I've ever encountered in my 7 years of doing transcription.
Not anymore. Martha is gone. NM
xxxx
Don't work there anymore,
so I can't check. Just wondering if it someone who deserved it or someone who was backstabbed.
I don't work for them anymore because (sm)
my phone started ringing off the hook for new local accounts, so I had to leave them, but if that hadn't happened, I would have stayed. Very nice, very easy to deal with, always pay on time every week, great accounts.
They don't want to pay benefits anymore.
These are all trip ups for you to lose your benefits. Power outages, emergencies, nothing matters when it comes to adding up to 40 hours, without which, you become a part timer without benefits - only production and PTO time is accountable towards those 40 hours - and about that so called wonderful PTO time most of us just starting accumulating 11 months ago:
In the 2080 hours which make up a "production" work year, you are now expected to produce 2000 of them with no exception other than the 80 PTO hours. In those 80 hours you must fit vacation, sick time for you and kids, holidays, personal time of whatever kind (keeping in mind most of us are the glue of our families;i.e. the mother). It was better when they didn't give any PTO and you had reasonable, practical, human beings in a office to confer with about when you needed time off - and by the way - if you worked in a 9-5 job, your production time would be 6-1/2 hours a day, not 8.
This, being done to educated professional people who are NOT easily replaced? I think not . It's not worth it. There are still plenty of doctors out there who are willing to work one-on-one with an intelligent person rather than to be slickered by some smooth talking corporate job hunter. So, it's good bye to being a company employee for me.
Same here. It's very difficult to get anymore than 200 lph
Am considering quitting also. Have averaged 300-400 lph at any other place I've worked. I also agree with you about the emailing bit. After every update about how much work is on the system, it's ALWAYS followed by an email from the owner about a minute later telling you to either stretch more or threatening you with their PRN Program or that you'll lose the work to offshoring, etc., etc...
Have nothing against anyone there, but I very rarely ever break 200 lph working on their hospital accounts. Bayscribe definitely gives low line counts.
After 12 years of doing this, I don't need them anymore. I think that KS was being
hard on me because I have had to take a lot of time off, often at the last minute. They just don't care that I am depressed and have a lot going on.
That's the problem with these big companies. We are just a number. When they were smaller, they would cover for a person in my situation and care, but now they just criticize work and get picky picky picky about it. They forget the times that I pitched in on my days off and just focus on the last few months. THAT is why I am mad and frustrated. They treat everyone like a number. I think this industry is in trouble because of the big companies.
I guess we won't see their ads anymore.

Hardworking MTs, if u can't take it anymore
This career has careened into the toilet. If you are a good MT and can type fast and have good grammar, there is always a job for you as a legal secretary. This is NO JOKE. They will hire you without legal experience. They do pay very well. Your job will never be replaced by an Indian or other offshore person. The medical benefits are not always great but sometimes they are. Just know that you do have another career waiting. I am not saying lawyers are sweet to work for, but they do pay, they do give generous bonuses at CHRISTMAS, they let you say Christmas even if they are Jewish. They will become very dependent on you, as lawyers can't tie their own shoes. Think about it!
Sad as it is, nothing is sacred anymore.
l
Who doesn't anymore?
Fact of life. More Editor positions now available, less typing, hourly salaries.
I never hear about QT anymore. Are they still here?
nm
I wonder if K.C. will have a job.. there are no 'U.S. Operations' anymore to be VP of!!! nm
