I should have read the plan closer. Didn't know about the PTO restriction. Thanks.

You need to read up on Hillary's healthcare plan a little better. sm
It was a fiasco from start to finish and in the end would have bankrupt physcians, insurance companies and hospitals alike. I agree we need reform. No one stopped Hillary at all. It was a bipartisan agreement that her 1300 plus proposal for health care was a giant bomb from start to finish.
since I didn't pay into social security as an IC, I started a retirement plan to cover me.

Thanks Maura -- I know you didn't plan it, but my funny bone was tickled by your typo anyway -- s
 looked like something I do a lot...hopefully I look at my screen before I do something rash like sending it to QA!!
didn't you read the TOS?
x
I read it . . . didn't see anything bad :)
Unless I missed something. Please clue me in if I did.
Apparently you didn't read them
There are posts from 2008 with plenty of negative info. You should search again and make sure you read them this time.
Didn't have to read beyond the first sentenc....sm
to see that this is not the company for me. I cannot see why companies do not pay for spaces. Well.....I guess I do....it saves them money.....but that's just plain CRAZY! Howwouldtheyliketoseereportsthatlooklikethis?
Thanks for the info. You've helped me make up my mind.
Because YOU didn't read the thread... sm
It wasn't about the hearing test. Holy crap! It was a comment made that a woman's husband's company makes people sign something saying they can go into their past medical history. they don't want to hire them if they think they will make too many insurance claims.
That would unfairly bias the sick and the elderly.
I almost didn't read your post...
... because I thought you were someone asking what it's like to do radiology work at Transcend, and I don't.
But I'm glad I did click to read it, and I'm glad some more of the folks who are happy working at Transcend--and are still working the same accounts with virtually no changes (except good ones) YEARS after their own merger--are coming on board to tell their stories. My own merger (from TRS) was only 5 months ago, and just about all I hear is 'just wait, they'll give your good account to somebody else, they'll move you to something lousy with no work available, they'll make you do speech-wreck, whether you want to or not, and you'll soon be singing a different tune,' that sort of thing.
But beware... you say anything good about Transcend on this board, and you'll soon be labeled a 'suit.'
I am not a suit. I am a pajama. And hey... I could only WISH they'd pay me for all this free positive PR I'm doing..... :)
Perhaps you didn't read all the postings.
Maybe that's what the OP was talking about; we don't know as it could be interpreted either way. However, a subsequent poster did state that she indeed had a company charge her $5 a paycheck for the privilege of having it direct deposited. So maybe you better check your alarm clock.
LOL, guess I didn't read where it said subject (sm)
See, I'm just too dang stressed. Oh well, just don't sell my address, I get enough spam as it is and never read it.
you obviously didn't read my entire response
or can't understand me.
Sorry about that... didn't read the full message!
You can block your e-mail so no one can contact you privately; some people like to be contacted via e-mail, others do not. I am not sure how to do that, but contact the moderator.
Even if you had posted the article, that is fine; I love working for a company that is the #1 publicly traded company in Georgia. Mr. Gerdes just sent out an e-mail stating that we also were ranked highly in Forbes. With all of the horrible economic news, I am glad I work for a stable company. It's not for everyone though - to each his/her own.
I read on this board that someone heard they didn't anymore(sm)
I don't know for sure.
I think you better learn to read better, I didn't say I don't work weekends
I said I get to spend more time with my family by working 3rd shift on the weekends and evenings. I have to work either a Sun-Thur or Tues-Sat shift just like any normal MT who cares about the company they work for and their TAT requirements.
honestly, no I didn't read. Pretty sure I'm quitting NM
remember, (I'm sure you don't remember :) just saying, I went through this with Spheris, stuck it, ended up leaving anyway
Closer to 9 cpl
if you test well and have acute care experience. Plus an incentive at 12,000 lines per pay period. That is as an employee with full benefits. I have been with Medware for over 6 years, they are a good company.
I actually moved the monitor closer
.
Same here. I pulled my monitor closer sm
Now I see that teeny print fine.
That is a Google ad, it is not an MTStars banner. Take a closer look.

10 seconds = 1.5 lines closer to reality...nm

On closer research, this does appear to be VTS they were talking about further down the page.
Sounds like a nightmare. I'd give them a thumbs down.
Sick of it too. Bait and switch, always happens. Will look at my contract closer too. nm

Don't worry just find out and then have a plan A and plan B
I have gone through something like this but not with that company. I too am the insurance provider for my family and there are preexisting conditions, so a private policy is no good.
First of all, I work elsewhere but had the same situation. I fell short of line count, but not because of me, because they did not have enough work, and I like many others cannot make quota because of the way they count lines. Then, on last paycheck there was a negative on insurance money taken out of check. I thought I lost insurance, but found out at the end of the year, they did an audit and found out that I overpaid all year and so I actually was owed money that check.
In the meantime, I found another job but have to wait 90 days for insurance. Can't find a policy to bridge the 2 jobs, insurance is on my mind all the time. My heart is with you. Personally I am getting the 90 day meds, working on my second job which will become my real job and if I lose the insurance, Cobra will kick in in case of disaster so that is like major medical.
Sorry such a long post, but I suggest: Not to panic. You probably did not lose insurance. Call the benefit provider to see you are still covered, not the employer. If you are not still covered, get 90 days of Rx if your plan covers by mail and be billed, immediately get another job which is a better place to work anyway (I found one) and in 90 days you will be okay. Some places like Disriter cover the first of the following month, but I would not necessarily suggest you work somewhere which is not so great just for insurance. You can consider TransTech. That would be my suggestion. Sorry for such a long post. But this hit a nerve and I wanted you to understand some options, as I have gone through it. Good Luck.
I read all read all the threads in the "companies" section
of another board, MT Chat, and Googled each one that got positive reviews. If they had a website and a way to apply online, I did so. And that was how I got hired at TRS. They were not advertising at the time. By sheer coincidence I applied to Transcend just before I applied to TRS, and they were not interested in what I had to offer at the time. And now they've got me anyway, since they bought TRS. Interesting how things work out sometimes.
Companies with negative reviews, or company queries that got only a terse I sent you a PM reply, I passed over.
I didn't say I didn't care, I just don't understand
why the sudden outrage over HL offshoring.
new MQ pay plan
It's been in QNews, snail mail and on MQ's home page under the QNET as promised by Frank for the last six mths.
What do you like about this new MQ plan?
I would just love to know what people like about this new plan because the way I see it they are not paying for your internet service anymore which is essential to getting this job done and they are not offering any kind of weekend incentives which is when they are always begging people to work and also, the part that really is laughable is even if you are part time and say work 15 hours a week and want to work 20 instead one week you have to get that approved. Now, they are always begging people to work so why do we have to get approval to work extra. I can understand over 40 hours but if you are part time what is the big deal. As long as you put your hours in that you are supposed to, why do we have to go through the trouble of calling our supervisors and asking to work an extra hour or so.
I don't see much of any kind of incentives in this new plan. I mean if you type over 1200 - you get a small increase. Say you type 1500 well you would make an extra $1.50 that day. What kind of incentive is that?
I just don't get it. Maybe I am missing something and people can explain to me what they like about it. I would LOVE to hear it.
new plan
There is nothing to like
well i DO like the new plan
It adds up to a lot of $ to have 18 days PTO at production rate vs. 10 days, plus now the 6 holidays at time and one-half. The difficulty premium adds another level of fairness and compensation to the skill tier.
As far as part-timers having to ask to work an extra hour or two -- where do you read that? i went back and looked and see that your option is to work between 8-39 hr a week -- if it requires permission, i guess i missed it. I can see where it would help in scheduling and TATs though.
As far as the lack of I/N payment now, that's not a plus, BUT you CAN claim it on your taxes along with your books, etc.
It may not be an exciting plan for those who have limited skills and just can do the easy stuff, but for me, it works well enough.
Better than MQ's new plan. sm
You would need to check with their recruiter for what you would make. They have the MQ-type quarterly bonus and shift bonus for night, which allows one to make good money.
TRS pay plan help!!!
I have been working at TRS almost a month now and still cannot undestand the pay scale. I thought I did,but I am lost. I am on a difficult account and I am having trouble making line count. My first pay check is coming up soon, and I need to get another job. Should I hold out, or run for the hills? I hate to jump ship, but I don't want to stay too long if I cannot make any MONEY!!!!!!! thanks
Pay Plan
Well I am one of the MTs who does like the pay plan. I've done quite well on it. I would suggest that you talk to your supervisor and ask for a better explanation of it and be sure you understand it. Once you have a good grasp on it, it's not that tough. Good luck and I hope you stick it out!
The plan is this
IMHO: Hire good typists to transcribe for peanuts; then hire qualified MTs to QA for peanuts.
Ain't globalization fun?
Thank you - I may have a plan now!
Thank you all for your comments...
I am still racking my brain (which is not helping my production by the way)...but I may have just brewed up a plan!!!
Since I was meeting double the LPH requirements, I am just going to slow way down and meet the required production - they require set hours...they are going to get it...they will still get quality work, but I am not going to stick my neck out anymore...
Instead, I am going to focus on the smaller company and pray it turns out good. I will take the extra time from the national and even out the line count I need with the smaller company..and hopefully, it will all fall into place and I will decide the smaller company is my answer...
In the meantime, I am keeping my foot in both doors and looking out for myself for once!!! Staying more and more loyal to the one who actually appreciates me....yup, the smaller company 
Thanks!!!
What new plan?
xx
But it isn't quite going according to plan.
I like how you stated that the benefits SHOULD flow into our countries when companies are allowed to compete better. Unfortunately SHOULD and ARE are two different things. So far the only things happening is that the companies are getting huge, billion-dollar tax breaks that are benefitting other countries. The profits that the companies are making are not benefitting the US workers, they are lining the pockets of shareholders and CEOs. They're not creating jobs here and they're not benefitting this country. Whereas, look at India and China and all the news reports of how their economy is growing at an unprecedented rate. This theory can only work if other countries cooperate and the American companies use profits to grow their businesses, instead of lining the pockets of their CEOs.
Having a plan
is always a good idea but no one should have to try to juggle 2 jobs just in hopes of staying employed. I personally think the best strategy would be to find some way to become self-employed. Everyone has some marketable skill or talent, even me. I wouldn't recommend anyone to get into the field of MT as it appears to me with all the changes, offshoring, no work, etc. ect. etc. it is a pretty poor way to make a living. I know that many people swear they are doing great in the business although how is beyond my comprehension. I'm more inclined to believe those who say they spend 24/7 praying for a job to pop up. I know my own income toward the end of my career went way down and I'm one of those who can do anything that is thrown at me. THAT didn't make an iota of difference, I got the same no available work that the majority seem to be getting. I could think of half a dozen ways just off the top of my head that I could start and operate an at-home business outside of MT. No one should have to hold 2 jobs unless they just want to.
Have heard nothing about the pay plan,
SE possible health insurance, or anything else that is being talked about by certain MQ MT's.
I have had the web-based email since "day 1", and did not need 800 DICTATE to set it up for me. It was simple! Just not getting any of the emails that some are speaking of receiving. Get PLENTY from my supervisor. Guess having no problem receiving emails . . . so where are all these other emails I did not get???
family plan
Anyone know what the cost would be for a family plan?
family plan
I can't find the info they sent me...It should be here somewhere. I'll look some more Sunday and see if I can find it.
family plan
I've looked everywhere and can't find the initial info they sent. Maybe someone else who has a family plan through MQ or at least can find their introductory info on the insurance plan can answer this. Sorry!
How do you think this will be affected with the new pay plan.
:
Has anyone gotten the new pay plan packet yet?
I haven't gotten any information at all regarding a new pay plan. Was the first of this sent out to ME's only. It seems that only MQ ME's have mentioned anything about their pay.
I have a hard time believing that MQ HR would call EACH and EVERY MT. Do you know how many phone calls and how much time that would take to accomplish. They probably hired temporary employees again to do this calling, as they did when the new benefits package was rolling out to work on the benefits hotline!
If ANY of you receive any letter/packet/phone call about a new pay plan, PLEASE post for us. TIA
No. There has been announcement of the new plan yet....
and we have not been able to even verify the few random reports on here of ASR 20% reduction...whether they are for a specific office, etc.
Please, stop trying to scare people with the implication that you know something, that there IS a pay cut, etc.
MQtiered plan
i have not rec'd the packet yet but going by what i am reading here
1) i do nothing but ER accts and make 10cpl, according to the tier system, would my pay be decreased or whatever rate you are at presently, it stays the same and if you were newly hired that is what you would start out at???
2) i do have the ability to do other work types but prefer ER, should my pay be based on that or just ER
3) my friend is a full time employee with benefits but works more that 40 hours a week, 40 hours is on the time sheet but she needs to type 18000 lines a pay period for her bills, she is the sole support of her family, does that mean that she can not type over 40 hours any more even though she is not putting in for OT
4) previoulsy PT MT's need 4000 or 6000 lines a pay period depending on what office you were in, are they still going with the fact that each pay period you would need to produce so many lines or is it giving a schedule and doing x amount of lines each day
5) it sounds like SE, which will no long exist, they have lost the ability for their bonus's ( over 10000 lines a pay period bonus) but is was mentioned that you could get a bonus on a daily basis, which brings me to my next question--what if there is no work--this is a very common factor of life in amherst--so how do they get the daily bonus, also if you do give a schedule, can you tupe outside of the scheduled hours to make up for lost time( anyone with kids you never know what is going to happen) or lack of work during your hours
will everyone be getting the same packet and if so why did we all need to be called if we were getting the same info??
DSG Incentive plan
Can someone tell me what the incentive plan is for DSG?
Incentive plan
I don't have the figures handy, but there are two incentives.
The first is getting a 0.25- 1.0 increase per line depending on how many lines you type in the two week period, again, I dont have the paper handy but I think the first incentive starts at 5001 per pay period. Don't quote me on it.
The other one is a bonus given every four weeks if your line count is over a certain amount starting at $20 and going up, and I believe the first count you have to exceed is 10001 in a four week period
incentive plan
That is Transcend's incentive plan, and they do pay according to it. Unfortunately, their new system, BeyondTXT, is FULL of bugs and is down frequently. There is no pay for downtime. I have worked for them two different times. The first time was when they were in their phase of overhiring and constantly running out of work. They designed their own new system about a year ago, and it is crap. They cut everyone's pay in half, and most of the old employees quit because they couldn't make a living. This doesn't take into consideration their phenomenal management shifts. I will never, ever work for them again. Maybe you will have better luck than the 100s of those who have quit for the last time.
What new pay plan are you talking about? There is no new
pay plan. I have been here for almost three years and, other than raises, the plan has stayed the same. The only thing that has changed is the cost of insurance, which is now WAY lower than it used to be.
MOSAIC plan?? What's that?? (sm)
I work there and have no earthly idea what you are talking about. Please explain.
