contact Lee directly. They must not have received your email. Don't wait because new people are being hired and if they didn't get your email, you will be overlooked.

Not Spheris! They told me the only schedule
They said it was all that was available.
I was the go-to MT in my previous positions and always at the top of the QA pile and production at an acute care facility with 1000+ beds. Loads of experience and great education. Spheris recruiting could not have been less interested in talking with me (I know for a fact that my manager recommended me to them and spoke very highly of me), yet their ads looking for help are everywhere. How is it possible with all their openings that I'm assigned F-M evenings and nights?????
I wonder if there a way to talk directly to account supervisors? I know for a fact that the account for the F-M evening and nights has very, very few reports dictated at that hour. Why assign those hours when there is no work available?
I am no stranger to working as needed. I generally worked every single holiday and about 80% of the weekends. I worked early mornings, late at night, in the middle of the day at the convenience of my hospital in order to maintain their TAT.
This schedule makes no sense to me.
I've already completed my shift, how about you?
nm
Yes and I would be curious if anyone has actually completed the testing and if the job is worth it!

Only require 400 lines completed within 24 hours....good company...

They want you to keep your schedule for TAT purposes but will work with you to find a good schedule
I love working there.
I actually switched from a M-F schedule to a S-T schedule...sm
because of the financial situation. I was offered a lot better money to work this schedule on a particularly picky account. I can live with working on Sunday evenings because that is when my 2 teenage kids, also very active in sports, band, church, driving, dating, social life, etc., etc., are vegging on the couch, relaxing for the evening before it all starts again. It was worth the sacrifice to me to be able to afford all the activities, and it really is not much different than working the M-F shift. I do have Fridays off to kind of catch my breath while the kids are at school or go and take care of business. I do not feel I have given up any of my life to work on Sundays. Most companies will be flexible on the schedule for Sunday because of church, family dinner, whatever. The way I look at it is later on, I may be able to switch to a M-F schedule if I am willing to give a little now. Even if I don't, to me it was worth it for the extra money and mommy time I get on Fridays. I am widowed so I do put a lot of time into my kids. This is just what works for me. On the other hand, it is ok to only want to work M-F, there is nothing wrong with that. You have to do what is best for you.
I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to
:+
so does this mean OSI can still be discussed in
x
This has probably been discussed before....sm
But could someone tell me what is a low/high rate of pay when getting paid by the minute? Never worked this way but it could be a more fair way to pay??? Not sure. Comments appreciated. TIA
this also has been discussed in the very
recent past with more than a handfull stating they do that range regularly.
That has already been discussed. nm
Already discussed below. nm

The only way this has been discussed --sm
to death is by a whole group of sourpusses jumping on her for even asking the question in the first place and telling her in no uncertain terms to do her own research, that she was not *entitled* to ask the question in the first place because she was wanting everybody else to do the work for her. There were a few *nice* responders who did give her some valid suggestions, but most of you all just tore her a *new one* for no reason whatsoever, other than you could, and that's it. Now THAT is rude! Her original question was not truly *discussed* at all, but ridiculed with rude responses, and nothing more. So don't try to make yourselves out as justified in your responses, because you are not. schoolyard bullies, all of you.
MQ is not to be discussed on this board. (SM)
There is a board for MQ posts and ALL MQ discussions belong there.
If you want to talk about DQS, which many companies use, refrain from bringing MQ into your post -- it invites MQ discussion and MQ discussion is restricted to the MQ board.

This has been discussed many times over the last
few weeks. Do a search of this site and you will find many posts. You can scroll down or go to the second page and probably even the third page at the bottom and find posts from people who work there. I know I am very happy. They are a very nice company with excellent benefits.

Next time, e-mail myself or the Administrator about why your post is deleted.
Thank you,

just discussed further down this same page
the link again
I would think you would know, pay should never be discussed with anyone - not very professional.

we had discussed the situation
We had had a discussion about my mom before the warnings and my supervisor had made the statement that I would not be terminated but that I could possibly be placed back on part-time. Afterwards the warnings came and I requested a leave with no response. I wasn't taking it lightly. I knew my performance was very poor; I just didn't know what to do about it. Actually I wasn't upset they terminated me it was kind of a relief but the deposit on my equipment hey had no legitimate reason for keeping any part of it.
Don't know if this has been discussed, but...smCindiRI
Has anyone used Transcription Matchmaker, which is heavily advertised, especially on MTDaily, and is reportedly a matchmaker headhunter/recruitment which promises to match up an MT with a company that matches their skill level, their specific interests, their work needs, etc., with just the right company. There are just so many companies out there, so many conflicting reports from folk who have worked for these companies and supposedly know the inside details, and as a heavily seasoned  MT who has had her share of OOOPs and blunders, I thought this might be good resource???? Thanks so much in advance! 
Does PC-Shorthand discussed here used by KS (sm)
is that word processing only - or does it include medical words too? If it does not, what do you use for medical words? (I don't work for KS but am thinking of using this software since everyone seems to like it.) Thanks!
This is discussed often. Try the archives?

Just scroll down, this has been discussed

This has been discussed lots in the last
few days. Use the Google search box.
Discussed earlier - DO NOT DO IT
As per the discussion over the last week, testing with them is most likely a terrible, terrible idea.
They're asking applicants to test with 10 LIVE files, which means all they're really doing is getting their backlog done for free.
Think about it - 30 applicants? 10 live files each? That's 300 files right there - no more backlog and no money spent. Yowza.
They were discussed the last week or so, nothing
nice to say about them. They stopped direct deposit and you have to pay to have it overnighted or wait for snail mail. Used to be a good company years ago, just gone downhill like most of the others.
Go thru the last 4 pages here. They have been discussed recently. nm

This was just discussed in detail a few weeks ago

Chill. Maybe there are no developments that need to be discussed. nm

why would "no developments" need to be discussed or am I

Discussed further down this page under "Here's a new one

that would be best discussed with a recruiter, don't want to give sm
you the wrong information as I am not 100% sure on how that accrues. I do know we have 6 paid holidays a year.
I discussed this with an IRS agent recently
IC means you basically have more flexibility. I.E. you set your own schedule. The most the company can REQUEST is a window of time, i.e Turnaround time or say a 12 hour window to complete X lines or X reports. If you get X reports done in 4 hours, they cannot require you to stay on if you choose not to. You don't ask them for vacation time, you let them know when you will not be available period. ICs pay for that flexibility through paying their own taxes etc.
Employee - You are required to work a certain amount of set hours on a set schedule no matter who chooses the exact time even if you meet your line quota early. You ask for time off and have to be approved for it, and you are required to be in contact during your shift through media that they usually choose.
It is a fine line in some ways, but if you are classified as an IC, you should be under contract for an amount of work, i.e. assigned doctors, lines, reports or whatever within TAT or the window of 5 to 5 (just an example). If you are contracted for 8-5 Monday through Friday and are to keep in touch via Yahoo during your shift (which you must complete), you are an employee.
Ascend is not the company being discussed
nm
They are discussed almost daily. If you'll look through
past posts you'll get lots of info. They are in India with a storefront office in the US.
They have been discussed a lot lately. Look through old posts and archives.
I thought this was already discussed ad nauseum below. sm
Why not just let it die? We all know cherry picking is out there. How we deal with it I suppose is a personal choice. For me, I have learned not to complain about it as it usually does no good anyway. Life is too short to get all upset over things we cannot change. JMO
This company has been discussed many times here.
Try doing a search and checking the archives as there is a lot of information there, but none of its sounds very good.
I discussed an hourly QA wage with them sm
a few years ago and when they sent the paperwork, they had substituted a RATE PER LINE for QA. I called and told them they had made a mistake, they said that they had decided they would only pay by line. I think they figured I wouldn't read the paperwork and just sign it.
Do a search as it was discussed recently. There might be 3 places that do this. nm

They have been discussed within the past week, scroll down and
see if you can see the post. S/B lots more posts in archives. Nothing good.
Beware the Mandatory Overtime with them! Was discussed
s
know it was discussed a lot in the past, maybe search achives?NM

Webmedx has been discussed a lot recently, read
posts further down and read the archives.
This was extensively discussed this past week or so...sm
Best check the IRS guidelines before asserting such information.
Been discussed almost daily lately. Tons of stuff in
the archives. They overhire, running out of work common.
First, why does every little thing have to be discussed with clients, right down to apostrophes?
Second, this is another example of how the BOS has muddied up the waters. BOS1 said apotrophes, BOS2 says no apostrophes but apostrophes still okay. What does the BOS3 say? I have no idea and I don't care. I say apostrophes because it was apostrophes before there was a BOS. So what gave the AHDI the authority to change the way it had been done for decades before?
If you have been hired by Medware all of that was in your offer AND discussed in your interview.
You would also know if you were hired on as PT or FT.
BUT anyway....anything over 32 hours is considered FT with benefits. They also DO hire PT employees and they have a very good PTO package, plus personal days. Pay days are every other Friday.
Like I said before, IF you are a new hire, all of this would have been in your offer.
This is discussed here all the time. If you search, you should find the comments. nm
