If told to do it but not claim it, that is PERMISSION, nm

In Reply to: The key there is the word PERMITS. If they did not authorize - it, they didn't really permit it, did they?! N

It's not BS as you claim. They told me they do not hire PT. I have tried 3 times in 3 months.
I cannot work FT as I have a job at a hospital but they will not budge on saying no PT. I have read all your posts as I have been researching companies and it seems like you think you know more about KS than you do. You post something bad about every KS post but you don't give details, so I think you are BS.
with your permission....
i would like to copy and paste your letter and send it to my congresspeople
I think this trend is despicable my heart goes out to you all and I think we're all not far behind - MQer
Do you ask your employer's permission to do everything
in your life?
I don't. I did what was best for me.
They purchase my skills and expertise from me while I am on the clock for them. I don't share their secrets with the enemy nor vice versa. I have maintained my quality and production the entire time I've worked for them.
I don't ask for permission before I go do what I need to for my household.
You're right. MQ doesn't seem to have a problem with it. Spheris would not feel the same way, probably.
Permission to test
means only that the company is willing to test you. Again, a good test of the value of any school is to call MQ, Spheris, Amphion, MDI, DRC, or any other respected company and ask them if they will test you. If you are from a matchbook school, they likely will not. Testing costs a lot of money, training costs a lot of money, and with the glut of MTs in the marketplace, the companies can pretty much have their pick of the cream these days. Sad but true. I did not set it up this way. I am only the messenger who deals with recruiting issues on a daily basis.
No permission needed.
That's what I like. I'm flexible.
Without your permission it is not legal.

Why would you not be able to? I use one but didn't ask permission.

Would need permission from the OP before giving
I would not feel comfortable posting that information on the Board without the Original Poster’s permission, since it contains personal names and addresses. TransTech is probably reading every one of these posts right now and you could be management for all I know. LOL. Suffice it to say that this is public information and can be researched if you know where the headquarters of TT is and how to access court filings in that county.
They want permission to do background checks.....

Betcha most do (or at least get permission to), and applicants don't

I think all the nationals ask permission; I've been

Sounds fantastic. I hope you are given permission (sm)
to post the name. I will apply there asap:)
yes you can claim all that as SE.

Yes, they do. They claim only 15%. nm

Could be, just like you claim to be an MT. nm
xxxxxxx
This claim in your post is exactly why
It is dangerous to both the employee (MT) and the company (MTSO).
Both were burned here by someone who apparently is completely anonymous to either or at least hiding like the loser they are.
Yes and it was not a claim..have proof. Thanks

How do I make a claim at the BBB? nm
x
They claim to have been in biz since 1992. nm
,,
They claim they do this out of necessity...
as well as for efficiency because they can't handle all of the required work. I'm curious, though, as to what they pay the Indian MTs. If the pay is extremely low (usually 1 to 2 cpl in India), that says it's mostly for the profit margin. I still have yet to see a company that pays an Indian, Pakistani, or Philippian MT more than that or equivocal to an American MT. It's all about the profit margin.
how much of your utilities have you been able to claim?
My tax advisor told me I could only claim the amount of utilities that equaled my office space. For example, my office space I claim is 20% of my house, so I could only claim 20% of my utilities. Anyone else have this experience? Anything I can do differently as an IC? I do deduct the total expense of internet and phone since I am required to have these for work...
Yes it is true and if you were there 2 years ago as you claim
as well as the "not so flattering" picture of her that was in the company email newsletter at around the same time. Nice try though.
BBB - I think it costs $9.50 to make a claim now
Check the BBB internet site.
So if you have a medical claim, the insurance - sm
doesn't pay anything until you've forked out the first $2,000? That's appalling!
They claim it is only 15%, but it is more like 60% offshore work.
The offshore swine get preferential treatment over the US transcriptionists. The screen shows there is work to do and suddenly everything is gone but the bad dictators, and I do not mean 10 jobs, I am talking at least 45 jobs at one time off my accounts just disappeared. I thought about changing my name to hari skrishna for a while so I could get some work, but found another job instead.
You said they claim easy dictators..
Are they easy with a significant amount of repetitiveness? If there isn't...and all they do is talk then as an IC, 7 cents is not gonna pay the rent. If the doc repeats things over and over...then you have a chance.
I had an ESL once who others wouldn't do. However, once I figured him out I found that he repeated 90% of the reports so it was great.
It also depends on platform. If it's in MS Word with an FTP site...great. If they use something like Emdat but don't have the demos and base information correct then your line count goes even lower. Shop wisely....
TO THE ABOVE POST - IF YOU CLAIM TO BE SPEAKING TRUTH - SM
THEN GO AHEAD AND MENTION NAMES OF MANAGEMENT THAT LET THESE THINGS GO ON! WHAT DOCTORS AT WHAT HOSPITAL GOT FED UP WITH WHAT ACCOUNT AND ONLY GAVE OVERFLOW!?!?!? YOU ARE SO FULL OF CRAP! I AM A SINGLE PERSON AND I AM NOT A FAVORITE OR A CHERRYPICKER OF THE COMPANY. SO IF YOU HAVE SOME NAMES TO BACK UP YOUR "TRUTH" I SUGGEST YOU SPIT IT OUT. BECAUSE OTHER THAN THAT, YOU ARE FULL OF CRAP!
Can you file a work comp claim
If you are an employee, you can file a worker's compensation claim, and the company has to follow the rules of the state the insurance company would consider jurisdiction. As a former workers' compensation claim handler, MQ is legally bound to have your claim handled wihtout any issues. If you have issues you have the right to go to the state workers' compensation board for assistance.
You made the claim by making your headline say
that is a claim and could potential be called slander. Hope you have an attorny on retainer.
you said ... I am not making any claims. ..... You made a specific claim that JLG was dishonest. I'm more inclined to believe you can't live up to the owner's standards.
I just find it amusing when MTs claim to assist others
If it doesn't bother you, don't worry about it.
They claim "it is so much faster than Spheris".

How very interesting that people who claim NOT to be management seem to know all this is going on?
Out of the 196 e-mails they sent last month with account updates, endless pleas for help until they get new people in place, etc., there was not any real company info. I have been there 3 years and am currently looking to leave. They are hands down the rudest group of people I have ever worked with, in or out of this business. I have had MANY e-mails go unanswered, you are not allowed to IM but they send endless messages about all the work to be done while I am TRYING to work, and forget about ever reaching them on the phone should you need to. I work on numerous accounts that switch back and forth all day long. They want you to shut up and type and will contact you when THEY need something. Let me also add they have tons of ESL docs and very bad dictators in general. The only thing good is that the pay is on time.
I thought statutory could claim those same deductions? NM
The same way cars that claim to be "made in America"
Some people just take a shred of truth, and spread it really really thin. But their lies should be exposed every time someone gets a chance.
Aren't they the ones that claim to be a good Christian
company too? Sounds too much like TranScam to me.
I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to
:+
You are right, I told ek to do like ET...
Have they told you that you are going to
be a MEDICAL EDITOR? It's semantics, like the "MLS" title for a transcriptionist. Sounds really impressive to be called a "medical language specialist," but...HELLO...you're a TRANSCRIPTIONIST.
You are going to be nothing more than a custodian, cleaning up the junk that the "hookt on fonix" MACHINE REPLACING YOU has generated and for less money. If the dictators are half decent, you might be able to fly through a report in minimal time, but if you have to sift through the GARBAGE, only to wind up transcribing most of the job yourself, you are definitely going to lose money.
Do you eat only what you are told? If not, try them...

Told me the same
Same bull came from Jennifer week to week.
THANK YOU! I'm usually told how I should RUN
and all kinds of upset stuff.
Thank you! I hope to someday!!!
What I was told
Here is what I was told when
I switched to DQS from Medrite.........
You actually were getting "free lines" on Medrite with the information that populated onto the (TES screen) actual report, for example, patient name, account#, MR#, dictators name, signing physician, address, etc. This accounted for about 6-8 lines per report. Needless to say, and I KNOW THIS FROM EXPERIENCE, a doctor could just hang up on that report and NOT SAY A SINGLE WORD and I would get paid those "free lines" because it was information that populated on the report.
With that being said, if you were typing 8-10 reports an hour, then multiply that by 6-8 for your "free lines" PER REPORT that would account for anywhere from 48 lines to 80 lines AN HOUR! Now, take that 48 to 80 lines per hour and multiply that by how many hours you work in a day. This is why and how you will see a decrease in your lines!
The problem is, is that with DQS, you ARE NOT PAID for the patient's name, account #, MR #, physician name, and so on. I believe this is where the misconception of DQS being a horrible platform and/or MQ screwing their MTs started.
All in all, I am able to type the same amount I was in Medrite per hour. The more you add to your word Expander and familiarize yourself with the platform, the better you will be.
Within a few weeks you will get used to it. I average 300 lines an hour and like DQS very much.
no but I was told that
people who were making a certain rate before DEP training were cut before the training. I heard this second hand from a girl in my class.
That's not what I was told when..sm
I went to work for them. You must be management.
They should not have told you that. sm
There are very few people in this industry that make that much money, especially working for national companies. Do you use a word Expander and do you use it at its fullest potential? The most I ever made was 52K working for a hospital making 10cpl per 57 character line. One other thing you might consider is trying to get your own accounts. Where you may now make 7-10 cpl working with a national, you can make 15-17 cpl with your own account, provided you can handle the workload. Unfortunately, they sometimes fail to tell you that in school. Good luck!
No. Not that they told me. SM
They just told me about the training that I would be going through and kind of just sketched through it. It seemed like they offered okay benefits, but the pay seemed fair. I was just seeing if anyone actually took this position and could tell me more about it. Radiology would be nice too.
Yep, was told would get
...another one, it would be added to my queue that day, but it never happened. This was three weeks ago. How many times should I ask before they get mad at me? It must be nice to be salaried and not have to worry about paying the bills.
they told me no, but when I got the sm
contract, there is a place on there that asks what hours you most likely will be working, so it is not set in stone. I understand that anybody likes to know something but I have talked to others who work for them and they have no problem. I am going to give them a 12 hour span when I could be in there. So far, they have answered my questions to my satisfaction. We will see when I get started. But, I am anticipating everything will be fine.
I was told that too.
/
I know who you are and you have told me
that you never checked to see if they were correct in their calculations when you were an MT - you just assumed they were right. No wonder you've advanced to QA....LOL. They love people like you.
Who told you not to?
