If there is a way Spheris can make a dollar at the trans expense, they will find it.

At this point....I make top dollar at MQ sm
I am part-time and have been working for MQ over 16 years. The day they tell me I have to do ASR, I will quit, but until then I am satisfied with what I make per hour. Look around...there are layoffs everywhere and I am grateful for my job with MQ for now.
Yes, it is about the almightly dollar. I worked for a hospital who outsourced to Spheris
and the only reason was NOT because they could not find available MTs but it was because it saved them money from having to pay benefits etc..
MQ and Spheris line rates for SR/trans?
Can anyone tell me what editing/trans rates are for these companies? Are there any production incentives?
New Trans Tech employee looking to make friends with ....sm
other happy Trans Tech employees. It has been such a loooong choosing process, but I am feeling so happy about this decision, thanks to all who helped me out, especially Donna, and Debbie is a fantastic-sounding boss. Looking forward to getting started, give me a yell if you can!

You make my point. Find what works for you. You
s
I do. I hope you find something to make you happy and
that is something you can depend on. Whether in this business or not. I wish that for us all!
I make more there than at Spheris
I'm still on 100% QA and I made as much in my 1st full paycheck (79.5 hours) as I would have made at Spheris working OT.
Do you make that at Spheris or
Which platform are you on and is it acute care, ER, or what? THANKS!
You are being hypothetical while we are trying to find a co. where we can make a decent living,,,,nm

Make your own nest. Find a couple of good
accounts, multiple companies if you have to. Work on them every day just to stay on top of it. I used to bend over backwards to try to help where needed, but all I ever got was kicked in the head, so now I just do my routine. When they start appreciating people, (and not just an occasional 'oh how wonderful you are' when they are backlogged and know you can do a lot of work), by some type of recognition like a raise or promotion, then you can go back to being the nice guy.
When there is a lot of work, do you find it hard to make 1100?
cause I sure do.
Keystrokers do you find it difficult to make lines? Almost
a year ago I was offered a position with KS. There were lots of rumors going around about my company so I started looking, but I fell for the lies my MTSO told and stayed put. The rumors became fact and I had to find another job. I just cannot make decent lines with new company. I went from gross line to 65 characters, which by itself can make 100+ lines a day difference. The platform is boggy and I prefer to do Ops only, but doing everything but due to my scheduled work time and the tight TAT of Ops and I'm just not happy.
I was hired for an acute care account doing Ops at KS, but I can't remember any of the other details (other than of course pay). I'm thinking about calling them to see what they may have to offer (they said call if I changed my mind), but don't want to have to start all over again only to find myself in the same situation I'm currently in with no able to make lines.
Also, what kind of Expander can you use. New job uses SH and I really don't like it.
At Spheris, if you want to make more money
you have to go to a higher level account, period.
That is the only fair way to do this, in my opinion.
your post doesn't make much sense. Find another job then? That's what the rest of us do!
I don't get it, at the expense of another person?
who?
labor is not the only expense
an MT company has so your figures, while interesting, don't show the whole picture.
Wow, Will that then make Spheris the largest company?
nm
Seems like a whole lotta trouble and expense
'prove a point', when their chances of proving anything at all that could win them their case are slim to none.
Win or lose, can you imagine what the other employees of this nasty bunch must be thinking?
I can almost hear all those splashes from all those who will jump ship.
A company would not go through the expense and time of hiring you only to not
contact you. This smells fishy. It is not the first time you have said this but it does not sound right.
one of MANY reasons, in addition to living expense,

So are all you Spheris posters able to make pretty good money there? .... sm
I have more than 25 years in this business, and I have always just steered clear of this company, but I either need to change who I work for or I need to supplement.
I see they have production incentives, which I like. I'm guessing you all like their system, if you are happy there. How about their benefits - are they affordable? Do you think their base pay is fair? Are they flexible at all when it comes to you working your hours? Are you happy with your account(s)? Thanks for any specific info!
It depends. If they invested in the the time and expense to hire you, sm
to train you, ship you equipment, set up your software etc. and you did not give it a fair chance (at the very least 2 weeks) before quitting, I'd say they'd be extremely gracious to even consider taking you back.
If you worked for them for awhile and gave the platform and the company a fair trial, and then ended up leaving, then yes perhaps they might hire you back.
All you can do is ask. JMHO.
Says medical and business expense benefits (whatever that means).
Company equipment provided. F/T and PT, then apply on line.
You call paying your own taxes, medical expense,
no paid vacation or sick pay a decent job?
It's all about the bottom dollar
Who's going to buy all those cheap products when the peons have no jobs and thus no money. I fear things are going to get a whole lot worse before they get better.
I would bet my bottom dollar you are
under 50! It is really funny because I hear these young starlets talking about how they would never have a face lift. I guess not in your 20-50 age range.
I am making top dollar doing VR
at TTS and I am happy. I use Ex-text and double what I make in lines typing. It all depends on the company and what account you have. Hope this helps.
Ok, well here's the 64 kagillion dollar question
How is their pay, can someone divulge what they're pay is averaging? I'm applying to Transcend and thought I would just ask for curiosity sake.
"almighty dollar". very well put. and its getting almightier.
And the MILLION dollar question is...
Does Transtech get work from Dictaphone? Does Dictaphone have any control over their workload?
THAT is what this entire thing is supposedly about...
Hmmmm, I guess we'll find out when the court case is complete.
Guess you won, sending bottom dollar
but now with the pay like it is, don’t spend it all in 1 place. I glad you like wrinkles, most women do not but a lot either cannot afford or scared to go through with it. At high school reunions I have attended and have no problem with saying have had, most women totally interested in how much, who did mine, etc. etc. Am very glad to have been able to do mine.
The people with the loyalty to the almighty dollar...

Carlotta can explain why they do the 900 dollar thing.nm

I make more than that with Spheris but never have work. I would rather make $1.25 and have work. s
My SIL works for KS, and she gets paid double for linked reports too. Where do you get $2.25? I am ready to leave Spheris.
You are the one who is incorrect. The owner of Zylomed would sell his mother for a dollar if he
They most certainly DO outsource offshore. Perhaps you're not as IN THE KNOW as you thought!
As far as I understand it, it's not based on line count really, more a set dollar amount earned
a pay period and I fell short $90 of that set amount. You must make X-amount of dollars to be considered FT status. I missed 2 days of work due to illness. I truly think that is the why it is because their policy says that. I still think you should be notified if your benefits are cut in advance so you can either choose to find another job right away so your not without insurance long or at least can purchase an individual policy. Being without insurance is scary to me with all of our kids.
Trans Tech Medical Solutions or Trans Tech Svcs?
Which is the one that everyone is always saying is so good to work for? Trans Tech Medical Solutions or Trans Tech Services out of Iowa? Thanks for any clarity you can provide!!!!
Did find a Wright Watson Sten-Tel in Austin if their site isn't old. Find 'em with Google. nm

Trying to find info on Encompass on this board, can't find any recent. sm
Anyone have any current info. Any employees out there? Give me the low-down if you can! Thanks a million.
I still feel like a team player of Spheris, as the shackle scars are still on my legs! Spheris was
Micromanaged to the microsecond, or ms! Horrible. And part of a team? Total opposite - part of a team as in prison.
Don't imply you're worried at all. Just stating fact that Spheris does NOT allow a Spheris MT
work concurrently for MQ - no exceptions. MQ, on the other hand, does not have the same feelings as Spheris. Just all I had to say so that MTs aren't misled into thinking they can do the same "legally". Even went to the ropes on this issue with Spheris, as I was professional as well, and wouldn't share info, etc. The point they raised was that MQ is their direct #1 competition, and if I was typing for MQ and doing great work, that was in direct conflict of interest with Spheris' best interests. Guess which one I obviously stuck with!!
Thank you, Spheris recruiter! Anybody wanna place a bet that there are lots of Spheris
HELP WANTED ads on the job board?? So funny!! Out of the blue, Spheris, we love you!! Lets all run and apply NOW!!
I also know Spheris would fire you if they knew you worked for MQ. That is a BIG NO with Spheris!

I doubt you will make enough money in 5 hours a week to make

I make 4 cents a line, work part and make
over $500 a week on part.

Has anyone worked for or heard of SC Trans? Thank you!

I had ben contacted several times to work, then nothing, then once they contacted me and I was unable to that day, so nothing. Now I got another call asking if I could - said yes, and guess what - nothing. Maybe they forgot who they are contacting?

Work is easy/normal, but platform is slow with entering a lot of demographics. Pay is regular at 8 cpl. Staff really easy to work with. Have you applied yet?
