I always send my invoice in the minute it comes to me, so I hope something is not messed up. However, I did send an email to the powers that be rather than just sit here and kvetch. I know I will be paid, but today would have been a welcome surprise.

Incorrect info in this post...sm
Phoenix pays 9-10 cpl for their own transcription Word-based platform with a Lanier system/Acute care. They pay 8 cpl with spaces on the internet based programs for doctor work. Very different programs, different pay mechanisms, but evens out at the end. Please read the posts and the website carefully. We have NEVER reduced our rates.
Smile or not, your post was still incorrect

I apologize,..this post is INCORRECT...SM
this was incorrect information and i humbly apologize for any further postings below. you are correct...they are accountants. i ask forgiveness for anyone i have offended. i was offered a job by them and i could have sworn they said they were lawyers, not accountants. went back thru my stuff and you were were correct. i ask forgiveness of those that read here and i will be more cautious in my posts in the future, if i ever dare again.
Who's "we"?
I was doing the poster a favor. Who are you, her mother?
Hopefully the original poster isn't as thin-skinned as you...and can differentiate between a 'heads up' and a baseless attack.
"We have all tried that?" How can you speak for everyone? sm
I did complain and received a tertiary account. It did get a bit slow for a few weeks around the holidays, but everything seems full speed ahead now and I have more work that I can get done. I never considered quitting. MDI has been very good to me. Sorry your experience was not the same. :(
"We cont' 2 hire&reached the point where we
How's that for being so blunt? Okay!
oops sorry for the typo -- "were" instead of "we're",..It's bedtime over here..nm

"We" have become a country of frightened 'SWEATSHOPPERS' eager to accept crumbs
And I believe that the worm is beginning to turn. Perhaps your husband's company should be confronted en masse regarding layoffs.
Don't go softly into that good night. Ask questions, do your research. We stil have rights, but a good deal of you are scared into corners, frightened to proclaim those rights.
Get out of the corners, come out from under the desks. It's time to take our pride back.
A post from May said they paid 7 cpl with NO spaces. That's all I have. nm

Most of the QA staff at OSi do not live in the same state as where the office is located.
Where you are incorrect
that half of Medware's staff is in India. Not true, not even close. There are only 2 accounts that are transcribed over there and edited here. It is only done so as not to lose the account, which would mean laying MTs off. Medware is hiring and growing and competing, just like some of the other good companies out there. It is a matter of fact in today's global marketplace.
The above was incorrect. It should have been
Transolutions not Transcend that she was talking about.
Incorrect!
We have been working from home since 1985 and not with the help of the internet. We don't need medical records to be online to work from home.
Incorrect - sm
A simple failure to meet a production quota, or meet some nondesignated deadline for responding to e-mails, does not fall under the blanket term of misconduct. This is especially true if the MT has documentation to show that prior to a platform change, or supervisor change, or other company-mandated change in the ways and means of doing the job, the MT was performing satisfactorily.
Every employer files a standard dispute form against UE claims. They're protecting their interests and the interests of their stockholders. But the MT has to be just as diligent in exercising her rights to request a hearing to state her case.
I think too many MTs just assume they can't get UE, or don't think it's worth the minimal time and effort it takes to file. Most states have completely automated on-line forms now. You don't need to go to an unemployment office or anything to file.
If you were laid off, if you had your hours cut, if you took a significant pay cut, or if you left for any of a variety of just causes, you have every right to file an unemployment claim.
This information is incorrect....sm
All of the work will not be edited. There will still be some work to be straight transcribed and the reasons for these have been discussed with the employees. In the speech recognition world there is no system that can draft 100% of the work that I'm aware of.
I'm sorry, you are totally incorrect - sm
There are many more than 2 accounts being done in India AND editors are not reviewing those, reviewers are. (they are different from editors) They get paid very little and have to quickly scan the chart, they are not 100% reviewing them. This is not an assumption. This is the truth.
I'm glad you are happy there.
Incorrect pronunciation.
It's no wonder we get dictators who do not pronounce words correctly. My daughter is getting her degree in nursing. She is taking a pathophysiology class and today the professor asked the class if anyone knew what cashekia (cachexia) was. This woman has been teaching for years.
incorrect job posting
Thank you to everyone who applied for the position that was listed yesterday with First Choice. Unfortunately that job listing was not posted by management at First Choice and we have tried to contact the adminstrator of this board to get to the bottom of it and have it removed but apparently they do not care as it still has not been removed. Thank you again for your time and I am sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.
That is incorrect, this is a disgruntled MT..nm
xx
Incorrect info given.
There is a post on the new MT board regarding myself and my business. I would invite anyone and everyone to read that post...starting out being named 17 files...Please read my reply to this as my company name and personal name have been miscontrued and placed in a bad light that is not even correct. Thank you for your time.
You're incorrect in assuming that....sm
the reports that aren't edited are the "garbage" dictations. I currently edit on an account that has switched to editing and we have dictators that are new to the hospital that aren't on editing yet - and they talk just fine.... and we have 1 dictator who dictates very well but isn't on editing but has been at the hospital for a long time because this dictator has a PA that oftentimes dictates on their ID# and the voice profiles get confused about who is talking when this happens.
I also know people that edit at other companies that say that not all of the reports are on editing for these types of reasons - so to presume that if a dictation isn't being presented in a draft is because it's a lousy dictator is untrue. I've also seen some real bad dictators go through the drafts with excellent draft quality - and fot those types of reports you NEVER hear a Transcriptionist complain "but I didn't have to listen to Dr. XYZ yap at 75 miles per hour - the system did it for me and I got paid anyway!"
I was incorrect. ETC did not mess my friend over.
Her money was wired into her account since the deposit was done nicorrectly. They are very reliable. I'm glad to say that only TRX has messed with my money or that of a good friend. M
To reiterate, you are INCORRECT, not the recruiter. (sm)
Why don't you just email her and read off verbatim what I posted. I would stake my life on it that my post is CORRECT.
So, if you've got the guts to do so, email her and ask if the information I posted is correct. After which, re-post the information your second email/correspondence yieled; that is, if you're the type of person who CAN admit when you are WRONG.
I have contacted her about the incorrect e-mail address. (NM)
Locking this thread. She can reply to you by e-mail.

You have too many inconsistencies and incorrect info in your posts. sm
Keystrokes does not use Express Scribe; they use Scribe. Completely different things. You cannot have Vista and no one in IT or anywhere would tell you otherwise.
Barking dogs? I would have asked you to put them away too. That is not professional.
Geek squad a HIPAA violation? How? I just called IT and asked them if I should call Geek Squad about a problem I am having with my PC and they said that would be a great idea as it is my computer that is having the issue (virus I think).
You are simply incorrect! I do support my family...
however, I have been able to adapt to all the changes that the medical transcription industry has encountered over the last decase; in fact, I welcome the changes and it has been interesting if you keep the right attitude.
Where is the flame. It was only stated that you had incorrect info. Calm down a little
We can see you dont like the company but there are those that do like it.
We can state our opinions as well.
No one was flaming you.
Forgot to add, the issue is lag time, not incorrect counts

They most certainly DO outsource offshore. Perhaps you're not as IN THE KNOW as you thought!
I have 19 years experience and was told the same thing. I think their test is incorrect.

Training on the system, not paid, but if you are physically typing reports then you are getting paid
nm
Oh, yea -- PAID, too. Grandmother PAID LEAVE would be a great drawing card to TT !!
Just love that PAID TIME OFF !!
Any company that makes you wait to get paid until they get paid by the client
is not a company you want to get involved with. That's part of being an MTSO, figuring out how to cover your payroll while waiting to get paid. I would stay away!
Is this a live count of lines paid for or same as CTRL I that we do not get paid for ?? nm

Me too.. the outsourced company was paid for and paid me for headers, but OSI does/did not.

I have always paid yearly and have never paid or been assessed a penaltly. nm

Be glad you get paid tomorrow. We are paid on the 1st and the 15th, so sm
since the 1st is on a weekend, we don't get paid until Monday. It will happen again on the 15th of August …sigh. It is the only thing I do not like about the company, though, so I guess a few weekends of poverty a year is not too much.
Lori never paid me and now ETC has not paid my friend.
What is WRONG with these companies? 
Is it still being paid on time if you are paid on the 1st and 15th.....
and if the 15th falls on a Saturday getting paid on the 17th? My bank is open and posts on Saturday that means I am not being paid on the 15th doesn't? This has happened a lot lately.
At least you get paid, I would rather be paid late than not at all. Just my 2 cents.
nm
Yea, at least u got paid. Everyone who worked for TSI is STILL waiting to be paid
I don't understand how Jayne cannot pay us. We have christmas coming up. I bet her family has a fantastic Christmas because she is using OUR money to pay for it. I worked so hard for her and I know the other girls did too. How insulting that she will not return phone calls or emails or PAY us. How does she look at herself in the mirror knowing that the MTs who did all the work FOR her did not get paid. She even sent me an email saying I give you my word HAHAHA her word is nothing, obviously. Well, I will call the attorney for the THIRD time and see what is going on.
To the poster, at least you got paid even if it was late. I sincerely hope you get your last check.
May be set on incorrect file setting? type of file??
If you are using, for instance, Express Scribe to listen/transcribe, there are about 10 or so types of setting for the file you use, wav, mp3 etc. If so, go to the top of screen, look for setting. I just click all of them.
My post should say the post above not the post below, Sheryl's post to be specific. nm

Spaces, paid or not paid. Do you know? sm
I just started with a company and when I asked specifically if I would be paid for spaces, they said yes. When I started using their program I noticed that the line count for each job did not include spaces. I checked it with more than one program. I called them and they said there was a glitch in the program that would be fixed. It has been almost two months now and that glitch is still not fixed. My checks do not include spaces either. No one at the company knows what is up. I can't believe I am the only one at this company who has deduced that they are not paying for spaces. So, do you check your line counts to see if spaces are included? You might be in for a surprise. Man, I am tired of being burned when I am a reliable and honest IC. Maybe time to do something else. Thanks for listening.
You get paid when SHE gets paid from the client...sm
I don't like that at all.
