TransTech gives anniversary bonuses on the anniversary of your employment with them.
I love those people!
Our joint anniversary
Meagan: You and I started at Focus at just about the same time! My actual date of hire was 7/27/2007 but I think I started working on about 8/3/2007.
Also my baby girl (she's 16) is named Meagan spelled just like yours. It's a very pretty name, don't you think? She was the last of my 5 children (4 girls) so I had to work harder to come up with a name I really liked for her.
OSi raises pay every year on your anniversary
.
Before I am flamed, I should clarify that I am in my second year at KS but my anniversary with them
I received a Christmas gift of a gift card for movies, popcorn and pop for Blockbusters, some chocolates and a candle for MT Week and a sympathy card when a family member died. THAT is the human touch that I appreciate. I make good money, have a good account and they STILL take the time to remember that we are not numbers. Flame away. I love my job and those who left the company on bad terms or were terminated will be sure to let us know that only their opinions matter.
TT pay dates?
Could someone tell me how TT pays? Is it every other Friday or certain days of the month? Thanks!
TT pay dates
I just started there 2 weeks ago, but from what I understand it is every other Monday.

Webmedx pay dates
For these types of questions, please contact the Webmedx Payroll department- they will be happy to clarify this for you!
TransTech's pay dates please
THANKS
Dates for new TT accounts
This is about the new account:
We did just bring on a new account called *** doing their consults and will be bringing additional work types on Monday, November 5 and then again on Monday, November 26. This account is very large and will require additional staffing.
When are WebMedx's pay dates?nm

Question re pay dates for Webmedx. sm
I have the list that says nonexempt and exempt. Nonexempt is employee, correct? or do I have that backwards?
Also, as an example, it says this pay period for nonexempt runs 03/27 to 04/09, with pay date on 04/17. Pay days are really Monday? Are the ever there early, maybe Friday or Saturday?
Thanks!
Are there any companies with pay dates of 5th and 20th out there? nm

There is no industry standard for pay dates.
There is no one mandating pay dates, but typically
pay periods run from the 1st to the 15th and from the 16th to the last day of the month. Actual pay dates vary, but the 20th and the 5th are pretty common. The majority of companies follow this pay period, some pay every 2 weeks, a very few pay weekly and a very few pay monthly, but the majority pay as I stated.
Paydays are 8th and 23rd. Mine are usually DD's the day before these dates. nm
check the dates and look again, count tons from one
company as well....no better just different and those companies are here too!! what the hay, eh????
I have no problem with the main job board mtjobs.com
Employee dates did not change; ICs are paid on 2nd and 16th now because
they are not supposed to be paid the same as employees. Were you an IC?
Went to the website, too. Just curious as I noticed the old copy dates, too. nm

I tested last year. The dates of dictation were from months before, so I don't think there's a

It sounds like w/11 line, and the bonus AND the current dates....
you were being used for their transcripition. How sad our industry is coming to that. To use people who need the money for free. I was in your position and got evicted, had to live with my daughter, lost my car, and was in a depression for 6 months and didn't even know it. I thought I was just shocked. This was with a company who changed the platform (for the worst) and my paycheck was cut in half, but not my bills. They didn't even have the courtesy to tell me this was going to happen, they thought we would quit, so I know what you are going through. Just keep working your other jobs, don't lose confidence (I know I did). It is difficult out there right now with so many transcriptionists out of work. Just don't PANIC (hard not to do in desparate situations). What jerks!
A company is ONLY supposed to verify that someone worked there, what dates they worked, whether PT o
and last date worked. It opens everyone up to a lawsuit if more is given, so most companies are told by their attorneys and business advisors to verify only.
No one has a right to a reference, only verification of employment.
Wow, really. I can't even remember the
I will be calling KS today then. Thank you for your honesty and getting back to me.
I remember that, too. Everyone was trying to get on with them.
I had two MT friends who worked there, then things started going south. They kept trying to get me to apply there.
i remember...
a posting from someone saying they are good to work with and are hiring. sorry dont remember much else. good luck
I don't remember,
Sorry.
That is exactly how I remember it.
They did pay me a good line rate, but with no headers/footers, and I had a hard time making 1000 lines a day. I think I was on the worst account they had, BMH, about 90% ESL (worst I ever had too). My QA would call and scream at me for doing cardio, not for a mistake, but because I was not assigned to it. The clerks used to beg me to type it. She was supposedly the worst one there.
I can't remember her last name.
Been about 10 years since I worked for her.
I remember something about that but
don't remember which companies. Can someone please tell me if Amphion, Cymed or Medware is one of these companies? I'm about to apply to all 3 of them.
just remember...
The US MT will always be in demand. Unfortunately, in some cases only in an editing capacity. Do you think that work being transcribed in India is able to be edited and returned in an acceptable manner to the US doctor dictating it? Absolutely not. The foreign physicians in our country depend on us to produce properly formatted reports, so how can a MT from India possibly come close to accomplishing this if it were not for the editing US MT. You really can't blame the US physician who contracts with a national co. and does not know his work is going to India. Why can't HIPAA reinforce a regulation stating that no US transcription should ever leave this country in any capacity? Certain countries have restrictions on importing and exporting products. Why does are country not step up to the plat? MTs have to form some kind of alliance to stop this...petitioning the government, etc. Striking is not the answer because until some enforcement is in place, our jobs will continue to go overseas and back here for editing.
I think I remember you.
I remember the post (if it was yours) on the company board and remember it didn't stay on the board very long. If I remember correctly, even though they removed your negative (truthful) post, the majority of the posts that remained were negative, complaining about things like the terrible platform and some being afraid they would have to apply for food stamps soon.
And if you're the person I'm thinking of, I believe you and I even emailed each other a couple times because I, too, had many concerns when you brought yours to the board.
You weren't wrong, and neither was I. The only mistake I made was I stayed there a little longer than you did. I should have left when you left.
I can't blame the newbies either because they simply don't know any better. It's part of the process with this company. They make sure things are great at the beginning, and then the downward process slowly begins.
Every single thing you have said is true. If people don't want to believe it, then they can waste a few years of their life at Transcend, too. I'm just grateful that I now work for a credible, honest company and couldn't be happier. Hopefully, this will remain the case, and I can stay with this company for many years. But after my experience at Transcend, my radar is definitely always on, and at the first hint of preferential treatment to someone else or lies being told to me, etc., I won't hesitate to leave this company as I hesitated to leave Transcend.
How to remember
An easy way to distringuish is to think of the first 3 letters of adduction. You are adding it to your body, therefore it is towards the body. The same would be true for adductors, so just think of addition to your body in any form and you should be good to go. Hope this helps.
As far as I remember...sm
you had to do up a schedule for every week of the days you would be working. You picked the days and number of minutes you would commit to. So, if you were working part-time and committed to 50 minutes a day, you could work those whenever you wanted to, (50 minutes x 5 days) as long as you made your commitment. I don't think you ever had to work any weekends.
As for being an IC, I have never had this kind of insurance. As far as I am concerned, if the doc signs it, he is saying he read it over and agrees. I don't think any IC MTs have ever been sued, but I don't know for sure. Maybe post this question on the main board. The companies save big bucks using ICs so there must be something in place for protection. I think most MTs are ICs.
When you are an IC, you set yourself up as your own business, sole proprietor. It is as simple as registering your name. I have an accountant do my income tax every year and it costs about $200. Hope this helps.
i cant remember the name.. c msg
but the email came from someone in Recruiting (female's name). The same person who informed me about passing the test and contacting me on the next recruitment was the same one who sent me the attachments ot download. Our situation is very different, but just by their pay scale, you can do better. I can deal with not being paid for headings (I guess), but I cannot deal with not being paid for spaces.
I think I remember something about them on...
MtChat.com. but I cant seem to access it this week. I cant really remember the deal but apparently they did something to their employees that made a ton of them quit so that is probably why they are hiring. You might want to keep checking back at that website and see if it comes up and then it will let you do a search on them.
anyone remember
 Does anyone remember ddi, inc. Those were the days when transcription was a great job.
I remember that
I thought that those MTs had come from a company in the Sacramento area that had lost the majority of their work supposedly to VR. I also thought that a lot of those MTs were let go with only maybe a handful offered to stay on board.
I have not gotten my e-mail for the conference either. Maybe they are going to send it later on towards the end of the day Pacific time.
I do agree that our accounts do require that they be done here in the US. There have also been a lot of companies I suspect thought that have lied through their teeth about having work done here in the US and send it abroad.
What about MDI-MD? I remember once there was.. sm
a discussion about their line counts not being counted correctly either. Does anyone have any information on that?
maybe I did see that but I can't remember!
Thanks.
I remember them saying ...
... that it was an account by account fix and to be patient if it does not happen for you right away. Patience seems to be the word. Heck, it's been cockeyed since about the beginning of the year -- what's another week or 4...
Just remember you get what you pay for....
you left out the fact that while your on QA all those months, pay is 2 cents!!! I got suckered in by them a long time ago and hope all of you that are thinking about it, run while you can.
RE: Just remember you get what you pay for
Pay is not 2 cpl while you are in QA. You get charged for QA when you are out of QA but repeatedly abuse QA by sending things that are not necessary. I mean, if you're out of QA, is it really necessary to send half of your reports because somebody didn't want to look something up? Our dictators aren't bad, with the exception of maybe 2 or 3. It doesn't take anyone long to get out of QA unless they just aren't trying. A lot of things have improved at RC, one of them being that there is somebody there to help new hires and interns and feedback is given. I know this for a fact, because I am the one to do that. I hope you have a great day.
Can anyone remember the name...
Can anyone remember the name of the company that was advertising a while back for Transcriptionist that had changed their name. The manager came on and wrote out a big explanation for why they were still answering the phones with the old name even though they were supposedly not the same company...
It seems like the new name was All American MT or something like that - and the old company was an Indian-owned company.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
They have another one too, but I can't remember the name of it.

From what I remember
Now it has been about 2 years ago, and I don't work for them anymore, but from what I remember training was all day for an entire week, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. There were breaks in between. I couldn't have done the training with my then 4-year-old. Thank goodness my husband was working 3rd shift and could take care of him while I trained. I hope this helps. I don't know how their training is now.
If i remember..
Chartscript platform..Actual IC. No schedule. Can't remember the pay.
What I remember
1. Use EXtext. I found it pretty easy and user friendly.
2. Cheapest health insurance close to $400 for 1 person. HMO and PPO available. Too expensive for my blood!
3. Deductable on above $2500.
4. ESLs - about 75%, frequently ran out of work, asking for more accounts = must be trained and then no one available to train you for weeks.
5. QA - cold, no follow-up explanations, nowhere near enough in the beginning. Come down on you weeks later after never having told you about issue in the first place.
6. Emails very untimely.
7. Must go to them (New Jersey) on your own dime for flight, hotel, taxi, meals. Train for 3 days (could have been done over the internet), stay working for them for 6 months (if you can stand it that long - I couldn't!) in order to be reimbursed only $500 of your expenses.
8. Yes.
9. Yes.
just remember
They have the option of telling you they don't need your services.
You have to remember that there are
many MTs looking for new jobs at the moment and this is a very slow time of year for most MTSOs and facilities.
You also have to remember that you
may not be concerned about 98% QA, however, they can ding you for whatever they want -- not what the facility wants, some weird quirk the facility has, etc, so you don't make 98%.
Hey....I remember.....
.....the old, blue screen!!! Just goes to show our ages, I guess. LOL! In any case, I have worked with Meditech in the past (without text expander) and made pretty good money with it. As has already been said, once you get the hang of it, it seems to move along quite smoothly. And, for radiology, it is nice to see the actual type of report, i.e. CT head, beside the order number. On many other programs, you have order # only (which significantly slows things down if the physician does not dictate the order #). And, from what I can remember (have not worked on it for 4 years), I hardly ever had to fix things, as, IMO, the physicians seem to understand this program better and are more likely to enter the proper demographics. With all of that being said, I personally will be working again with Meditech soon (IC part-time - in addition to my FT acute care EXText job), and am looking forward to checking out the updated version with text Expander compatibility! If Meditech was really all that bad....why would an MT with 15+ years experience care to go back to it? You might as well give it a try - add some more experience to your resume. Best of luck to you!
