and waited two weeks for an ID. I have been working for three weeks now and it is great. Obviously, your situation was unique as I came to KS on the recommendation of two of my ex-co-workers and they had no problems either, both with KS for a few years. Get over it. If you want to work for them, call and talk to them. If you don't, move on. Why are you rehashing the same thing over and over. What do you want the outcome to be?

I filled out the paperwork and late the same day they called
to setup an interview the next day and I was immediately offered a position. They have a large account coming on-line very soon and are trying to train several people too, so there may be a backlog. I was hired 2 weeks ago and start training later this week.
I applied, was called and hired for the account I was on at QT. nm

Several months ago a company called Charts in Time (CIT) hired some MTs off here. Just wondering how
it turned out for those MTs as I turned it down and wondered if I should have taken the job. Thanks.
Becky/OSI
Thanks for the info. I was worried about her as she never mentioned her plans to move on.
Becky/OSI
I don't know about that. I sent an email to OSi when I couldn't get in touch with her, and Beth Spratling, the new recruiter, told me she no longer works for OSI.
Becky is a sweetheart!
Hope she is doing alright. She is one of the good eggs there.
To Becky who emailed
One software is Dictaphone Extext and Dictaphone Exspeech. The best part about it is that you can look up old reports by patient, doctor, etc. It has a good shortcut program that I imported from a previous job.
Another software is Escription (or Editscript). This is what a lot of companies are using now and it is great and better in my opinion than ExsSpeech.
About the people in the home office, yes they are very receptive and supportive from management to support to QA.
About QA, they are strict in terms of major mistakes but most of them do not nitpick on little things (some do though). They are strict in terms of account specifics and if you are familiar with that you will do okay. If you don't follow it they will let you know. It took me about a week to get off QA but I don't think that is set in stone. Some people get off earlier and some stay on QA longer.
We don't have a limit to the number of reports we can type the first day. That is one reason I like Transtech so much. My previous jobs limited me to a certain number which really can hurt the pocketbuck. Not so with Transtech.
I don't think that many companies actually pay you for a holiday if you are off but we have PTO that we use. The thing with Transtech is that they pay you time and a half if you work on a holiday and it doesn't matter if you are not scheduled to work. They said if you are willing to work on a holiday then you deserve the extra pay. At my previous job we only got the bonus if it was a scheduled workday.
I would average 1200 to 1400 lines a day with traditional typing and about 2500 with speech but I am still getting used to speech so think that will go up. Also they have a tier system where the more lines you get the more you get paid per line.
The benefits are very affordable. We have Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia.
They have some Monday-Friday jobs with weekend rotation. It may depend on the account. I work Tuesday-Saturday because I asked for it.
Yes you can work extra even if you are not scheduled but you would need to check to make sure there are plenty of jobs left for the MT's that are scheduled.
You can get backup accounts if you run out of work. Not a problem.
Transtech is the best company I have worked for. They don't require you to check in with IM and they leave you alone to do your work.
I hope I have answered your questions.
Can you call Becky at 630-739-5520? Something must obviously have gone wrong. She can sm
rectify it.
I got my foot pedal today, just as Becky
said I would. I'm excited to get started with KS! I have emailed Becky every day and left messages for her and she has always gotten back to me in a timely manner!
There must have been something wrong ... please give either Becky or Lee a call as soon as you sm
see this. Becky is at 630-739-5520 and Lee at 630-553-3680. I know they are both in today as I had a payroll question (overpaid) and just talked to Lee.
Call Becky at the office. 630-739-5520. She will have this
taken care of immediately.
You are thinking of Rebecca W., Becky went to Medware.
Becky totally left OSi in August
What happened to Becky Ross, the recruiter. Her name is no longer on the ads?? nm

Hey Becky Ross - How the heck are you? How's your head?Haven't talked to you since
your tumor was removed.
I think it depends on experience, account hired for, etc. I was hired at .08 per line sm
but after 90 days went to 0.085 and then 0.09 about 90 days after that. I am now at 0.0925 and have been there a year. I have to point out that the line rate might not be the highest but I can verify my counts, have plenty of work, get paid on time and have a great manager. To me, leaving a bad national and the headaches that went with it was well worth the cut in pay I took. Funny thing is that I took a pretty sizable pay cut but make more money ?!?!
paperwork
Hi, Not with this company, but if they are overwhelemed it will take time -- also, Fed Ex and UPS are recovering from the holidays and may have subsitutes on the routes -- ie -- I live in rural FL and my roommate FREAKED today because she thought someone was in the mailbox -- sub carrier -- they a lot of times are NOT familiar with the route and the BEST thing that I can suggest to ANYONE is to call the company and get the tracking # -- I did it and most are very accommodating and that way you can see if it is in transit -- if it says delivered and a time and its not under a doormat, in the yard, in a mailbox, etc THEN worry
paperwork
Did you get yours via email? How long did it take to receive it? I was half expecting to get it today because everything else went to quickly.........
Paperwork
Yes, I got an e-mail with attachments to print out all the paperwork required. Then, I filled it all out and faxed it back.
I have already gotten a call from their IS to check my computer system, which they did, and now just waiting for the ID #'s from hosp and then IS will call me back to load software into my comp. Heard from them today, said I should be good to go by end of this week.
Paperwork
My God....that was pretty quick...wished I owned my on computer....would apply....
Paperwork?
When did you receive that paperwork? I've received nothing in the mail at all from Transcend. From the communications I've gotten, it's just going to transfer over, which I would hope means all of our information as well. I know they are supposed to be sending us the policy and procedures manual. Is that what you are talking about?
Can you check you paperwork again
it was Sten-Tel in MA. To my knowledge, they email all paperwork as attachments. That is how I received mine. Most companies don't go through the expense of mailing this. They refer you to their website if you are just inquiring. If you have been hired, they email the info to you.
What you have said does not sound like Sten-Tel in Springfield, MA - AT ALL.
In all the paperwork they sent you there is probably a schedule (sm)
showing payperiods for the year. Welcome aboard.
New hire paperwork
Did you mail or fax back all the new hire paperwork? I had to pay Kinko's $1.50 per page to fax back 15 pages as I don't have a fax machine and don't know anyone who does. It would be nice if they would mail the paperwork and allow MTs to mail it back as opposed to them emailing it and placing the responsibility on the MT to print out several pages and then find a way to fax it all in....expensive if you don't have a fax machine.
In all paperwork sent before hire, probably are

The current paperwork
they gave me mentions that very thing and how if the doctor changes Dear Dr X to Dear Bob, if it is not changed MTs don't get paid. This must be a big issue with the docs so they are sticklers on this I guess. So I guess I have no excuse and should not have that problem.
Sorry, meant 'your paperwork'
that does sound like a lot of paperwork...just curious though
I applied for the orthopedic position and was sent an email with 4 pages to download. After reading the info, my computer met only 1 requirement. Did your computer meet all the requirements needed to work for them? CONGRATS!
Ditto here just sent back all my new paperwork!
Good riddance to OSi.
You get paid for the shuffling paperwork.
Maybe it makes up for the motormouths who dictated a full page in 1 minute. Actually if you are a fast (and accurate) Transcriptionist you can probably make $25 to $30 an hour.
I don't remember filling out all that paperwork.
I remember how peeved everyone was about having to do it and I think it was resolved without the background checks, etc. I could be wrong, 'cause that was about 2 years ago and my memory fails me after 1-1/2 days. LOL
I surely would like some truth for a change and not inuendos or plain old hate towards the company from posters. They never really answer the questions posted on where they get their facts, so I question if their posts are truthful or if they just want to cause trouble, or rile everyone up like they have been doing.
How long does it usually take to get started once you fill out paperwork for MDI-FL? sm.
I filled out my paperwork about a week ago and have not heard from anyone. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to start with MDI-FL? Or has anyone had any problems hearing back from there once they said You are hired?
Ugly! Don't know about Rad, but a bud of mine was overwhelmed with paperwork, pay was low, and it

I think the new hires really need to read thier paperwork. They get a ton of it.
sdf
Didn't you get paperwork, offer letter, etc? sm
If they offered you a position and are already so far as setting you up with your account I would have thought you would have already filled out the required paperwork and sent in copies of your Social Security card, etc. (so you would know which company hired you). That said, there is only one Keystrokes of which I am aware. I would call them.
Just filled out my new hire paperwork today-sm
I'm glad to hear encouraging things. I'm really excited! I'm just P/T so all the OT stuff and what not does not apply to me anyway.
You'll get employment paperwork via email. sm
The HR person is out emergently today and yesterday, so there may be a delay. Storm on its way to Illinois today too!
read again; not only does the paperwork say Hard Wire ....

Anyone currently with Oracle? Do they still drown you with paperwork and endless acct.

Let me check my paperwork and I'll shoot you an email. NM
I applied, tested, returned my paperwork and NOTHING.. no followup ...NOTHING
Disorganization is my number 1 pet peeve and reason for NOT going any further with a company. I used my time to apply and test and fax paperwork back so you'd think they could have done their part and at least followed up. I could even assume that maybe they didn't get my paperwork, that does happen with fax machines, but you would have thought someone would have emailed, called, something to ask where it was. I would not accept a position with a company like that. My thoughts are this....if they are so unorganized that they cannot receive the paperwork and get you going, then am I sure that I will get my checks on time and that they will not get ignored or put aside. So, for me, I'd give them a thumbs down.
I can't find the exact paperwork now, but thought there was a choice sm
between $500 deductible and $1500 deductible, with about a $20 difference in the premiums each pay period. Otherwise, both plans are identical with a $20 or $30 copay for doctor visits. However, I could be wrong about both -- wouldn't swear to it.
Not just MT, any computer skills, paperwork, etc. could be difficult. I am just guessing. (nm)
.
No, but I will email the Moderators as soon as I find the email. You know it's the truth, Becky.

They have called me twice and I have not yet called them back
Per your recommendation, I just might. Thank you.
I called and called and e-mailed my STM. When that got no
results I went over her head. Got another account, but with 3 accounts still not enough work to get in more than 20 hours/week. I worked a shift that was part 2nd/part 3rd. Some days OT was offered, but then there wouldn't be work the next day.
If you read your paperwork, you'll see that is an option they have. Also, the state of Illinois
does not have right to work law, any employer can fire you at any time without cause.
Recent contact who was there said they were unorganized, paid low, & flooded you with paperwork.

anyone have trouble with focus infomatics sending hire paperwork
or trouble getting paid? I am not off to a good start with them in that regard ... they won't/haven't sent me any paperwork and i refuse to work for free. thanks.
Company emails and paperwork with lots of typos and misspellings
I recently started working with a small MTSO. In just about every email from the owner, I see typos, misspelled and misused words. Also, the same goes for all paperwork I have received. Even the QA manager does the same thing.
Would you bring such things to their attention?
An acquaintance told me acct specs and reams of paperwork were ridiculous.
