In Reply to: CALLING ALL NEW MQ MTs - Old Mq'er
My incentives? Well, it starts once I make my required lines of 6000. It goes as high as 2 cents a line if I type 16,000 lines.
Yes, I will get quarterly bonuses.
Why?

Hello-it has already started-MQ fired in July 07, December 07, and then
announced CBAY in May 07, guess what-time for another surprise, I bet within a few weeks to a month at least 500 go. What a coincidence that the CBAY India is advertising for 500 MTs in India and 200 QA!
The acct that started in July replaced
one they lost. Only the people who were on the account that left in the middle of June were assigned the new hospital, which I think is a small one. Any news on other upcoming accts? Anyone? My STM just says as far as she knows, she will not be getting any new accts. If she knows more, she's not saying.
This hospital started in July after WX lost another, larger acct.
Currently, the acct is always out of work. Perhaps they will be sending more work WX's way now.
Yes, in July 2001. nm

Ad from July said ICs for 2nd and 3rd shift only. Don't know anything else. nm

Very slow July
I've been with my company for a long time too and it has never been this slow. I have hardly worked in July. I am looking for another job. I can't hang on like this. Yes, they said it was the summer slump.
slow July
I don't get it. Aren't people still getting sick, having surgery, getting x-rays? Is Voice Recognition or outsourcing reducing our workload that much? This seems to be affecting everyone.
It'll be a cold day in July when that happens.

Slow going since the beginning of July..nm

IMO is it that bad. I left after 12+ years. As of July 1 no
incentive, replaced with a quarterly bonus that is almost impossible to obtain - also the amount of bonus is subject to how many MTs receive it and how much they decide to pay out for cpl. Also if you like transcribing 8-10 or more different accounts a day then go for it. A good many of us lost our primaries and went to a national pool and some were reporting 25 different accounts in 1 day. Impossible to obtain line count and/or quality. They are now apparently losing many accounts because of the poor quality of dictation.
I've worked for them since July of last year...
and I started out with Express Scribe software and no foot pedal. They never told me that I had to buy anything and they did provide the AAMT BOS, and medical spellchecker, and drug dictionary amongst other stuff that I am too tired to think about at this point. Just an FYI.
I left MedQuist last July and went to Keystrokes..(sm)
I like it there. They are very nice to work for. The pay is on time. I always have plenty of work on just one account, maybe a couple slow periods but there is still work to do. I also have a backup account but have only typed on it once because my main account has enough work. I type on Meditech and don't find it bad at all. I can still produce a lot of reports. I hesitated to leave MQ because I had been there 8 years and thought I would never leave. But I had several accounts and none of them had work and I was losing so much money. All in all, I'm glad I went to Keystrokes. Good Luck!
I left after 14+ years. I loved MQ and my PS until July 1. sm
I left for another company. I started with the new company and also with Instant Text on the same day....threw myself into the fire! I so struggled the first 2 weeks and even questioned both on here. I decided to stick it out, and I have to tell you that I definitely am getting settled and love it. When you see dictator names and report types come up that you actually RECOGNIZE, the feeling is amazing. Even tho I felt that i was struggling, I made a bonus for my first full pay period. The grass..IS GREENER! Good luck
First time since July, I ran out of work today BUT sm
Extext has been terrible for over a week. I think it may be Extext. I had to wait until midnight before all my lines from yesterday showed up. I have been booted out a number of times, have lost reports, had it put in offline mode and my internet was FINE.
It may be Extext!
I was hired and started in 1 week. That is not a long set-up time. When I started with our local h
I needed to get a physical and go through orientation at the hospital which is only given two times per month. This is a 900-bed hospital, so it cannot be an unusual process. MQ took 2 weeks. KS took 1 week. SoftScript never got me started even after repeated calls and emails.
I have only been with KS for 9 months but would never put them in the same catagory as the others you mentioned. They are the best company I have worked for, and unfortunately, I have bounced around a little in the last 5 years.

Futurenet's big account says it starts the 28th of July. (sm)
Maybe they have people training on a not so great account until the big one comes live. Who knows, this account may be a terrific one. JMO
Good company but had layoff in July. Are they hiring?
Very professionally ran company.
I have worked for Cardioscribes since July. I live in Kansas.
The owner actually lives in Kentucky. I guess if you don't want any Indian connections, you can just decide not to respond to the job post. As far as deception goes, I don't see any. I am very happy with the company.
superior global - are they paying on time now? any input since july?xx

No DD offered in July ག, wanted $25 each check to overnight it.
Never offered Direct Deposit, only an agreement to pay $25 per check for overnight deposit. No work or low work through training, try to find someone to set you up with reports to type 1-3 jobs at a time, this could last for months. Lots of ESLs as I have said before. I only have experience with one account with 3 hospitals that still used WP5.1, and two accounts that were done in Word. All of these five hospitals had ESLs who slurred, rushed, mumbled, plenty of background noise on the unit while Doc was dictating, drowning him out. QA read every report and seemed to have no problem filling in blanks, but very rarely sent copies so I could try to make out what the Doc might be saying. Some people who answered phones on weekends and should have been able to get tech to help, or get someone in QA to help, were rather touchy and crabby, and quick to tattle to management if you weren't sweet after 4 hours of computer hell. If they put an old outdated program on your machine, and your machine won't run with it like they say it should, they seem amazed. Nobody is really able to help with the WP5.1 program, they're all waiting for the accounts to convert. They like to say it's a family, but to me it was a rather dysfunctional family at that.
In summary, the two hospital accounts that were done in Word I found impossible to understand the doctors, couldn't make enough lines to pay my bills. When I asked to try another account, I was given the WP5.1 work, basically the same story, awful dictators, PLUS big problems with the platform.
Everybody in Work Flow and QA were friendly and kind and supportive. Jim Pinkerton in Tech is very easy to work with but he has a lot on his plate and can't get to everybody's problems. The other guys in Tech like I said just couldn't help with the WP5.1 platform. Harder to get help on the weekend from any aspect, even though a weekend day is required.
If you are looking for a great job they are out there, I finally did find one that I hope to be with for many years. Keep your eye out on the Job Seeker's board here, and on MTJobs.com Don't assume anything, have a list of questions ready when you talk to the recruiter. And try not to take the first line rate offered, if you're not convinced it is enough for you. You really can't negotiate it after you accept the job, you have to do it before you agree.
Left end of July for a company paying more and I set my own hours. Much less stress too. (nm)

Oops. Meant I've only had it be SLOW at Christmas and July 4

On the MTIA website, those entries are dated July/August 2006! Now, in 2008, if you write your...
congressman in support S. 810 or H.R. 1653, you are supporting an act governing federal grants for scientific research or abstinence teaching in federally funded sex education programs,
And, I'm not saying I don't support those two issues. I'm just saying it has nothing to do with outsourcing. In order of effect real change, we must at least sound like we know what we are talking about. Writing our congressman in support of a two year old bill that no longer exists or writing out congressman about outsourcing and reference bills that have nothing to do with outsourcing, makes us all look like uninformed weiners!
and they started
you at 9.5 cents per line???
Well let's see, I started my day
and have sat here all day to only have 60 some reports! Sad but true. I have 2 other PT jobs for this very reason. I only stay because when the work is there, the money is good. If it does not pick back up soon, I'm gone!
Just started...
using CS this past week, and it is very, very easy and practical to use. You should love it!
I started with TT at 8 cpl - sm
and I was told by Debbie that top pay was 8.5 cpl, not over. Maybe it was the account I was on. Don't know. Just relaying what I was told. I really did like TT. I couldn't afford their benefits, and yes, it is my fault for not doing my homework. I
i actually just started with DRC ..
and just completed my first week. When I was offered a position, I was told that everything counts - spaces, characters, everything in expander. Considering it was just my first week with getting used to the system as well as formatting and dictators, I did very well - a hair below where we need to be for full time, which is not bad considering I relistened to all my jobs before sending it. That is my method of learning. I am happy:)
when I first started with MQ which sm
was then Transcriptiosn Limited, for years, I was a subcontractor given a 1099 and they supplied all my equipment. Probably weren't suppose to. Well, I leased it. Maybe that make a difference.
I started at 10 cpl with MDI-MA
NM
I started out at
8, then they gave me 9 because the account I was on was HEAVY esl, then switched to VA, which also pays 9. Did fine on the ESL account but can't make the new production requriments on the VA account. Oh, full time employee status.
Just started, but so far ...
I'm not having too many problems other than the usual just getting used to new things. I don't think WebCorrect is that slow. I've worked on worse, that's for sure. I've checked their line counts and found them to be accurate and they do include spaces/65 char lines.
I haven't been paid yet, so I can't comment on that.
Communication is very good. You can IM a question any time. I've never waited long for an answer. You do have to pay attention to who you're supposed to IM though.
Everyone I've encountered is very nice and professional. I might change my mind later, but so far, I think it's working out well for me.
I just started with them, but so far
Mary has been extremely flexible with the schedule. Just ask her. I would be willing to bet she would work with you. She is the easiest boss I have worked for yet and I have worked for quite a few:)
I started with them just a little over
a month ago and can't afford the $125 to quit.
Do they still charge you $125 to ship back the computer if you're there for more than 45 days?
Welcome! I just started...
recently myself. Does your account start with a C by chance?
started at ,12, now...
make 16.
I just started with SGS
So far I have no complaints. Im fortunate, I have a very easy account. I have not had any ESLs so far...well, I had one, but he had an English/British accent and was not difficult to understand. I think the platform you work with is dependent on the account you are assigned to. I am using a web-based platform and Word 2000. As for direct deposit, I do believe they told me they have it, but I could have confused them with another company I was entertaining simultaneously. Benefits are reasonable for individuals, the family price is a little pricey in my opinion at nearly $178 per pay. I have to do some serious typing to justify that big of per pay deduction and Im hoping I can pull it off because I need those benefits as a single parent.
just started
I am just starting with them. If you want to email me I will give you what I know.
Just started
I just started with them and so far I like it. My account has been great. Everyone has been very nice.
Just started with them myself
but have you tried cut and pasting document into a Word document just to get a rough idea? Or is that what you did already?
Just started with them....
on a brand new account. It is a group of hospitals and there is evidently plenty of work. I am doing Emergency Department Reports, which there is a never ending supply of. I am brand new, so it has been kind of tough, but everyone is very helpful and encouraging.
That's all I know, hope it helps.
No, have not started yet, my first
year as IC. Employee prior to this with another company.
Just started...sm
I am working two jobs at this point as i wanted to feel things out before jumping in and the were understanding about that, number 1. The testing was not bad at all and was in line with the actual work difficulty. I do ortho so I don't know about the other testing, but I would imagine it isn't bad. Thus far, I have had plenty of work, QA is WONDERFUL--best i have ever seen by far. The internet platform takes a little getting used to if you are used to installed programs, but still not a major issue.
and when I started w/MQ they had 12,000+ MTs
Yes, that's exactly how it started out with me...sm
She told me my bank was rejected my direct deposits because my account was closed. I was actually dumb enough to believe her for a while and kept arguing with my bank. Please keep my posted about your situation. I've recently sent a copy of all the invoices she owes me to the hospital with a copy of the job numbers, etc. I doubt they'll pay me but they'll certainly see what kind of a business she's running. I cannot even imagine where she gets off thinking that she can get away with pulling this. I just find it incredible. Hope you have better luck than I did!!!
It has still not started.
After you get started
I almost took the test, but went for a job closer to where I live, in the same state.
I started at .09 CPL at WMX.

I just started with them...not so sure yet!
It's too early to tell about the company. I like the HR manager, recruiter, etc., but the QA manager is a little pushy....
