Do they have an ad up for employment? A Google blurb

Mag Mutual.

Anyone know anything about MAG Mutual?
nm
MAG MUTUAL

Does anyone have information or work for MagMutual?  Considering them for future employment. 


Why don't you try contacting --sm
Fox News, as they seem to be following this pretty closely and they may be able to direct you to someone or somewhere for help. Good Luck to you and your kitty!
An agreement that you will never
try to sue them.  
SPI Agreement
What am I missing? Isn't it a nonissue anyway since we are all classified as at-will employees. They can fire us for no particular reason and we can also quit without a reason. My feeling is they have a lot of lawyers trying to justify their billing.
Feeling is mutual about TH!

Could you email me about Mag Mutual.
I have questions before I accept a job with them. Thanks
Mag Mutual....how are they to work for...sm
and how is their pay.  Thank you for your reply.
Amphion or Mag Mutual
Anything recent on either of these companies.  Would appreciate any opinions, especially from recent employees please.  Thanks so much. 
Mag mutual, not on your life-
Had a horrible experiences there. Starting to work 1 day, could not get on, I had been pulled without a word or since then and no reason why. Still have no clue. Much better places to work.
Were you contacting him regarding a position?
What are they looking for now?  Do you know if they have a website?
License agreement
How about paying for the license agreement for the software that is needed?
I'm in agreement, but how bad of a manager
3 jobs.  How on earth would they even be able to manage anything?  I would have to assume that management is nonexistent for the people under that manager at those companies!
I too suggest contacting them. sm
From my experience they are very happy to try to work things out with you. 
Only that they would be contacting me this week.
I got an email from tammy? who said someone would contact me this week, so we'll see.
In total agreement
with the poster who stated that being overweight, most of the time is due to overeating because of emotional issues.  I am such a person. I am 160 pounds overweight and emotional issues led to my overeating.  Surgery will not take these issues away.  I was 200 pounds overweight.  I have been undergoing counseling and have joined Nutrisystem, where I also receive a lot of support.  A long haul?  Yes, but I would much rather go this route, then risk my life in a surgery with no definite outcome.
Contacting Allegiant

The Allegiant Transcription Services Website has a link to submit your resume.  Due to the substantial increase in work of late, Allegiant has been unable to answer telephone calls.  Please submit your resume and you will be contacted if a position is available for you.


Thanks,


Allegiant Mgmt.


You might try contacting QA directly ...

I agree, this makes no sense and my guess is all the HIPPA folderol is just a smokescreen this person is throwing up (for whatever I do not wanna deal with this or stick my neck out for ANY reason) ...


alternatively -- I would recommend saving each and every report you type from this person AND THEN  flagging the report for QA  so you can fill in your own blanks if no one wants to help you.  I type several doctors who  -- without samples -- speak in some impenetrable monotone ... without my file of samples, their reports would be moth-eaten.


good luck - if your company has a chat board or if contacting someone else on that account/WT might be a (much less convenient and/ or discrete) alternative.


Good luck, Yes, people do actually quit jobs over dictators like that ... too bad so many companies seem to blame the MT and some imaginary work ethic problems when the real problem, imho, is lack of support. 


All this turnover of MTs (or any other employee class) is VERY VERY bad for any company's bottom line...  but so many companies seem to blame the MT personally ... it poisonous.


 


total agreement
MTs can make the $$ exactly how you stated using expanders. I also stay in one specialty field with the same dictators... but you must be focused on your work and with no expense on gas or clothes, that all adds up to money in your pocket.
About contacting an attorney - sm

I too would like answers because half a truth is worse than a total lie because you mislead with half the truth and do much damage.  Please clarify these issues for us.


1.  Why would the company go to all the trouble to pull this two-bit prank when they could just say good bye to you if they wanted to.  You have been ranting to all of us on shift with you for months about how you have been mistreated and were going to sue the company and demand unemployment.  You did not tell the good MTs here who are ready to take your side and defend your position that All Type has a 3 strike rule and that you have told several of us that you were written up once for failing to make production of 1200 lines a day and then spewing some pretty foul language in an email to a supervisor about them making you do OP notes and type ESLs and how that was not fair to you.  It is an acute care hospital.  That is what we do.  Do you remember telling us about being written up for falsifying your time card?  Honestly, that is pretty serious.  If you were the one telling us that, i cannot even imagine what you are not telling us and what your personnel file looks like. 


2.  I have not seen anyone leave, voluntarily or involuntarily on our team in some time.  So who are you referencing when you say a lot of people quit or were fired.  No one stays at a company that is horrendous and unfair out of the kindness of their heart.  Are you telling us you just felt sorry for the company and the management team you hated and stayed to help them out? 


3.  Evidently you believe that you are a very high caliber employee and MT.  I would think you would be able to go anywhere and find a perfectly wonderful job.  I know most companies are just begging for real talent.  Unemployment is probably your only alternative because we both know that you are NOT capable of working in any acute care setting - and unemployment and legal sources are going to laugh you out of the offices if you tell them the truth! Even if you fail to tell them the real story, your history is well documented.   


4.  From all of the foul statements you have made about this company and their management for months and threatening legal ramifications if they mess with you - I wonder why you would want to be a part of a company that you have made clear to any of us who will listen how much you hate All Type and all of the management.  I also wonder if you do not know that from the beginning when you started making statements to the rest of us about lawsuits - that the company most surely handed your file over to a legal team.  I suspect the legal department has been involved in all of this for several months. 


Good luck missy.  I have worked with you for well over a year and your professional behavior and abilities leave a lot to be desired.  You have been so disruptive that most of your team has blocked you from IM and we are all glad that your drama from 4-12 everyday is finally done.  You should have been doing your job instead of driving us all crazy with your IMs and maybe, just maybe this company would have valued you.  As it is, what goes around comes around and your cheating, backstabbing, and lies came back around to you.  I salute Karma!!!


What's the problem with Mag Mutual?? Are we missing something?
Just curious
Anyone work for MAG Mutual now? I saw several past

there now.  I do not think 8 cpl is bad.  Am I crazy?


I am thinking of accepting a position with them so any help would be great!


TIA for your replies!

MTs who work there now.  I don't think 8 cpl is bad.  Am I crazy?


I am thinking of accepting a position with them and want any info.


TIA for your replies!


Anybody currently working for Mag Mutual out of Duluth, GA...
that can give me information as far as pay, platform, scheduling, flexibility?
Try contacting someone who has been there for a while to get the real story
you cant go by what someone says that is not there any longer. They are probably holding a grudge and will speak poorly of a company. you only get one side of the story and not necessarily the correct one.

I, myself, have been there for 2 years and plan to be at TH for a long time.

No they dont have incentives. Usually those who do provide incentive lower your base rate and make it look like you are getting extra.

No they dont have shift differential because if they hire you for 2nd shift, they normally pay you a little higher to begin with.

They DO PAY Holiday pay but you have to work if you dont ask off. Thus, you get holiday pay plus your line count which comes out to be double time like you are supposed to be paid.

How many companies do that?

NONE that I know of except TH.

Of course no company is perfect and if there is, good luck finding one.

I get paid on time, pick my own schedule, expected to work my schedule or notify them if I cannot stick to it for some reason, get QA feedback respectively, etc.

They have been growing in size and have been adding management to deal with the size. That is the only change I have seen in management.

I suggest contacting Medware
wanting to know information that should come directly from them, not people "that they think they are in the know."
Of course it is a breach of the confidentiality agreement.
But what can you do about it? Absolutely nothing. We have no way of knowing the identities of these individuals. There is no way to enforce it, especially when most of the MTs work from home. It would be a totally different scenario if two MTs work at the company and are overheard discussing matters that should not be discussed. All the MTSOs can do is to maintain our company standards and follow them to the letter, i.e. x amount per line based on x number years of experience and try not to deviate from it.
If you're contacting clients ...
maybe they'd be interested in the following.

Extortion threat to patients' records
Clients not informed of India staff's breach

She might have had him sign a confidentiality agreement. Did you ask her about it?

Try contacting them again. Navesys has been a blessing for me.
I took a job with Navesys a few months ago.  The work has been steady and so have my weekly paychecks. 
Contacting labor board.

Could some one tell me how to go about contacting the labor board about an issue with my employer?  Since I am a remote MT do I contact the labor board in my state or the state my employer is based?  This has to do with pay that I believe was deliberately shorted out of my paycheck as a retribution because I did not type reports on my secondary account that were approaching TAT when I was contacted about it by instant messenger an hour after my shift was over.  I wasn't even at my desk an hour after my shift was over.  I also found out a couple days after the fact that an email from my account manager's supervisor was sent to an email account I no longer use stating that I was requested by my AM to type some reports so they don't go out of TAT and would I please log on and complete these reports. 


Now, lo and behold, my paycheck will be short by almost 800 lines because these 800 lines supposedly sat in QA and weren't completed by the time the pay period ended, even though my shift ended at 4 p.m. on the last day of the pay period.  I have worked for this company for a whole year and this is the first time I have ever heard that the MT is not credited the lines produced until cleared by QA...and I'm not even on 100% QA.  Furthermore, I can't see how I would have even SENT 800 lines to QA in a day.  After multiple emails to both my AM and her supervisor requesting some sort of documentation where these lines went to, I still have heard nothing in regards to this and I'm fed up.  Is this something the labor board will even handle?


You signed nothing? Not even a HIPAA agreement? I would think she sm

would be in hot water over that.  Generally, you sign the HIPAA agreement and the contract at the same time.  DId you talk about pay at all and make a verbal contract? 


I agree with everyone else.  Until some sort of pay is establishied, I wouldn't work anymore, PLUS, not sure I would want to work there anyway with all of the phone calls and drama that you described.  It sounds like you would be signing up for a duty in Hell.


I'm sorry you have gone through all of this.  Good luck to you.


Read the fine print in the agreement - sm
I am very upset about it because I was told when I signed up that MT was not a problem, but if you read through the agreement, it clearly states that if they determine you are using the service for anything other than normal residential usage, based on what other residential customers use, they will change your plan to the talk 30 plan, which for me would cost about $60 dollars/day to use. I have also heard of other MTs being given pretty large bills. Honestly, I can't sleep at night!
I love the one where the MT was bashing a company for not contacting her..

What kind of agreement is it? They didn't tell me anything about that when I talked with them.
TIA.
The agreement is too broad in scope. It does not give you a
mile range limit on where you can work, therefore it is most likely unenforceable. Some states like Arizona have limited these contracts with regard to the medical profession, i.e., a case with a physician with a noncompete clause. They said the area was too broad and the MD could not make a living, therefore was too restrictive. Check out information in what state you are, but from what I see, it would be hard to enforce this contract.
Why did they send you a confidentiality agreement just to take the test?

In agreement with the above, sitting working on work
is just beyond what it should be. In earlier years I worked 2 jobs but each job paid every 2 weeks. One job paid 1 week, the other the next so my check each and every week was for 2 week pay period. How sweet was that! Now if I have a few hours downtime for no work it is fine, just take off, can make it up, don’t have to if I don’t want but very few times this happens and I only have a partime job now.
MAG Mutual--Earlier posts state 8 cpl but does anyone have any information to share??
Such as quality of work i.e. many ESLs, work load as I am tired of running out of work with my present company. I am seeking more stability than work today.. gone tomorrow scenario, every other day. You can also email me if you do not wish to post on the board.
LOL. I read too fast and thought you were contacting her about porn work. nm

Not a single soul here works for CIT? Did you sign a confidentiality agreement or something?! :) nm

Person from corporate contacting me via email regarding my posting today
I have no reason to meet with you, have a good job and certainly do not care to discuss with you where you send your work. I know what I read and it was quoted by a top official at your company. Even though you said the newspaper slanted the story like they wanted it to read, I saw quotes and never saw where the paper did a retracation of the story.
Who would you choose, Medware, Golden Isles (GIMT) or Mag Mutual? Weighing options and offers etc..
IWho do you think would be the best to work for??
