I once gave my notice when I was in a non-MT position, gave
2 weeks, but the person I was supposed to train felt like she knew my job better than I did (although she knew squat) and was a pain to deal with, never on time, etc. so I only worked about a week of my notice before I left and told the person I was supposed to train that since she knew more than I did have at it. Anyway the owner wouldn't pay me for vacation. I filed a complaint with the labor board and they were more than happy to get my money for me.
Breitner can threaten all they want to. If you can document that you are owed monies, if Breitner can't prove that you aren't owed monies the labor board will be glad to collect your money. I would also file a complaint with the Attorney General . I have heard several people have had payment issues with them while the still worked for them. If people are willing to let them get away with it by just chalking it up to experience, then they will continue to try to get away with it. I'd contact the IRS too. I don't know what Breitner thinks they can do to you - let them threaten all they want to. A word of advice - DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT.
I gave them my notice. I was looking
for a job when I found them so I'm not worried. Good luck to you. You might need it.
Well I gave notice, had no production
or quality warnings, worked my shift plus lots of OT. Had a great supervisor when starting and a not so good one when I left, reason for which I left. She was aware of that so because of her I can't get rehired! She just didn't like me. It happens but as far as my work ethic and quality, no issues there. It doesn't matter anyway, it was a lapse in judgement on my part when I re-applied.
Was this because you gave your notice or while you were still working for them that they did this to
@@
They gave advance notice to those that will likely
Shows they care about their MTs.
Yep. I gave a notice, thinking they would do the
right thing. They immediately locked me out of their system. I wouldn't give notice until you have another job and are working.
A friend who just gave her notice...
from the same place I quit sent me the email my ex-boss sent her and in that she made that claim. I was mainly just confirming that she was lying and did not want to alarm anyone.
We are both looking for companies with a few positives. Losing benefits is always a negative. It is more likely, I believe, my former employer just spreading rumors to justify her own bad treatment of longtime employees.
Newsflash... I just gave notice and
They told me stop working right away. I asked if I could be given a higher rate and if not, then I would like to find a typing job. I offered 2 weeks notice and they said seeya and what's more annoying is that she doesn't believe it is because of VR. She thinks it is because I wanted to work on a different account.
Gave my 2 weeks' notice yesterday SM
I was so nervous because I really like the company I'm working for and was afraid they would be upset with me, but they were wonderful. They said that I was a wonderful Transcriptionist and that they would miss me a lot. She thanked me for giving them notice. Even told me about another national that offers benefits as I explained to them that I needed benefits. I told her I already accepted a position with a company that offers benefits, but I was really touched that she cared enough to recommend other companies to me. Wow! How cool is that?
The company I'm leaving pays very well (I am in the middle range and get about 9.75 per line), you are an employee, have until midnight to get your lines done (at least 80 minutes per day), only have to work Monday through Friday and don't have to work holidays. You work in WordPerfect 5.1. They have Smartype for DOS as their word expander. They have direct deposit and provide the computer and foot pedal (no monitor). The only draw back (for me) was that they do not offer benefits. I don't know if I am allowed to post their name on this board, but I will ask my supervisor. If she gives permission, I will post the info as I know that some of you do not need benefits and this probably sounds perfect.
Hope you're all having a great night.

I worked for a small mom & pop too and they gave me a 30-day notice
that they had lost the account. They asked that I stay through the 30 days, which I did, and I appreciated the fact that they told me ahead of time. I'm not going to starve or lose my house if I'm out of work a week, but there are many MTs who would be in a real bind if they lost a week of work. There are lots of companies hiring so getting another job isn't the issue. You have to submit a resume, go through an interview and testing, and then if you are hired you have to get setup and go through training, and they may end up having to take the first job that comes along because they need a job. If we are expected to give a 2-week notice, why can't we expect the same from the company.
I didn't believe the rumors either, but stopping DD is a red flag that something is going on.
I gave 2 wks notice as IC and I had to work to the very last minute. It sucked.
I accepted their offer and gave a 2-week notice
Keeping my fingers crossed on this one. It really can't be worse than my present job.
Honestly, I gave notice during the training and was called back to MQ.
I wouldn't worry about it.
OMG I feel so giddy, just gave my 2 weeks notice at Spheris SM
and feel so liberated! I am totally getting out of MT - tired of being tied to the computer waiting for work to come in! So tired of hearing with this platform or that platform you will earn more. Good luck to all.
I gave notice and was told had to work final weeks in order to be eligible for rehire. Had no
:[
Still notice a couple of companies offering sign on bonus. Does it make you wonder? sm
Are they just an extremely exclusive type company, wanting only the best and willing to pay for it or is there something wrong they have to bribe people to come to work for them?
I am not sure, but think I am curious enough to apply to check it out.
I XX'd out 15 days notice on one contract. sm
Replaced it with 7, signed it and emailed it back. They never said a word.
60 days notice before a layoff? sm
People get laid off at the last minute all over the country. Maybe I am not understanding your post correctly? It does sound like to me that you are saying you must have 60 days notice before a layoff though. If that is indeed what the post is saying, there is no way or every company in the US is breaking the law!
A couple of days
You should hear back in just a couple of days. Be ready for a long telephone interview.
They got back with me within a couple of days. nm
not just these days over the last couple years
revolving door lol
Severaldiscussions the last couple of days. If you will
scroll down you will see them. You can also open your post and click on the see related messages post and bring up lots more. Click on those links and you'll find even more.
It took TTS a couple days to call me..
But it was definitely worth the wait. Actually, If i remember correctly, they were the last response i got to my resume, but ended up being the best all around offer on the table at that time.
Someone asked that a couple of days ago....
xx
I would write them an email if it has been a couple of days.
Never hurt to try.
I did 2 tests the last couple of days, both through mttest, though
the tests were different. One test took about probably 45 minutes and that didn't include the transcription part. I started the transcription and the dictation was so horrendous - sound quality really bad, barely able to hear any of the dictation, 2 ESL docs, and 1 really fast talking U.S. doc. I do about 90% ESL, but goodness. I have nearly 20 years' experience and I have decided it just isn't worth my time to do the transcription part. I'm trying to get out of a stressful situation currently, and this didn't seem like it was going to be the answer. I know that it was only a small representation, and I feel sorry for anyone without lots of experience trying to take the test.
The second test was so easy and even with transcribing the dictation I think it only took me 45 minutes tops.
I don't know why I continue to test and look for another position, because I'm fairly comfortable with my dictators, my company leaves me alone 99% of the time, good line counting program, etc. and I turn down every position I'm offered because: 1 - no one offers me as much money (even though I'm not making gobs of money); 2 - no one offers me the flexibility that I currently have, although I don't have as much as I used to have; 3 - I've got 5 years invested in this company and I know what to expect; 4 - while QA is pretty stringent I'm 99% or better and go weeks at a time without getting anything back ....... I just need a change of pace, but at the same time I don't like change, I don't want to learn new dictators, don't want to learn a new format, don't want to learn the quirks of QA and all the other stuff that goes along with a new account/new company.
I think the last 6 months I've tested and been offered 8 positions and some companies continue to call me and none has anything better to offer me.
It's the weekend. Give them a couple of days. nm

It wouldn't be in the archives yet...it's only a couple of days old...
here is a link to it. I believe it is on page 3 or four of the company board.

I do my daily or every couple days after my shift. Much easier (nm)

The hiring process usually takes a couple of days,
but depending on the account it can take about 2 weeks to actually be working.
yes, and then give is a couple days for snail-mail...after that - ask again. NM

So give her the couple days before the kicking begins. n/m

don't worry, these kinds of heated threads always die down in a couple of days

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!
That is what I just said. !0 days PTO, period. That includes vacation, sick days and personal days
They should have paid holidays so that you are paid if you take off. Also should inculde extra hours for sick days and personal days.
That annual raise of .002 is kind of a joke especially when at the same time they upped the minimum line requirement from 10,000 lines to 12,000 lines.
OSi just does not have the qualified people in management positions that I wish to work for.
I am glad that you are happy at OSi and all is working out for you. Their dishonesty and the way they treat people just does not work for me.
Of course they can get by cheaply by hiring unqualified people so that is very good for the owners.
I think it was September
and it has been wacky and stressful ever since...
I have been there since last September and like it very much..(sm)
They have worked with me on a couple things to make me happier. The pay is always on time. Rather high insurance at the moment but as the other poster said below, there will be a new, much more affordable insurance company starting in March, plus KS now has Aflac. I am on a very high volume account doing mostly ERs and have never really ran out of work. So far, so good.
I am currently working for them (since September).
Terry is great to work for. This is a small company that is very good to work with. The Emdat system is great! Very easy to work with. There is plenty of work to keep everyone busy! Let me know if you have other questions.
I started with Keystrokes in September and so far I like it...(sm)
Before KS I worked at Medquist for 8 years and at a local hospital for 15 years before that. I think KS is pretty flexible...they seem to be so far and leave you alone. I don't know about TransHealth or Trans Tech but I do like KS so far.
I started with KS on September 6 but my insurance did not go (sm)
into effect until December 1. So there is a 3 month waiting period for the current plan we have. Not sure if that will change when the new insurance goes into effect. Good luck!
they added a big hospital in september - nm

I left Spheris in September and glad I did
Went to Webmedx and LOTS of work even over the holidays, better base rate, too.
After 8 years at MQ I went to Keystrokes in September 2006..and (sm)
I don't regret it. For the most part my account doesn't run out of work. I wish I had a backup but I haven't been able to get one. But my main account is swamped a good part of the time so when they do run out of work it doesn't usually last long. Good Luck!
I started in September 2006 and have not received one yet (nm)
Specifically, Axolotl has been low on work since the first of September .... SM
when they lost a huge account. It affected me and several other people. However, I have moved on so I don't know about recent developments. I wonder how long they will continue to pay downtime instead of laying off.
The date is September last year. Why bring it up now that it is being dismissed? sm
Companies get sued by ex-employees for things that are not true all the time. Ask any lawyer, look at the # of dockets in a court every day. The percentage of suits that are true is less than 8%.
This is someone trying to stir up trouble.
Keystrokes does not have ICs.
You bill 30 days behind, and they snail mail it so it's late - about 40 days from invoice
No way jose - they even messed up their direct deposit payments
Maybe she/he works 14 hour days/7 days a week? nm
x
Would that be 5 business days or 5 regular days?
So when are we going to be paid this time around since you're so knowledgable?
Sorry, but for some of us a day or 2 actually makes a difference.
Most want 20 hours over 5 days, but it could be more, or it could be spread over 4 days. nm
