Even if you're FT, you'll be lucky to have enough work to get your lines,
x
From a 5/06 post, 8 cpl up to 1800 lines a day!!! Then you'll get 8.5. Not for this turtle
s
Wouldn't do it. You'll end up with lines that are in the 70 and 80 chars. long length. They
s
too many platform probs, lost lines, IT support is virtually nonexistent, I'll be saying
x
They work with you to make sure you get the lines required or the amount of lines you want...
I have never had a problem getting more work
That's going to be nuts...I do ASR work too, plus work split shifts. We'll NEED a spread shee

I'll love to know who you work for. I also work every weekend with no extra pay.
It'd be nice to get paid for all the nights and weekends I work.
1200 lines daily is great if you have the work, personally, I never had enough work so
I left and have NEVER been sorry!
NO WORK at Transtech -- did no good to work the holiday for 1.5 lines, did it?
I am sure the office staff will share their PAID HOLIDAY MONIES with us who sit here with no work. This has gotten to be such a frustrating profession. I guess I need to relocate to Houston so that I can work in the office, too, and reap those wonderful paid benefits that us at-home piecemeal workers do not get.
I'll never work for another co. that isn't 100% U.S.!!! NEVER! nm

Pretty soon they'll have us pay them to work
It's the same with most companies anymore. Here's how to tell a lot about the company before you aggravate yourself with training, etc.
Who has the most job offers posted? How frequently do they post them? If you see a company trying to hire all day, every day of the week they have a problem, because those they do hire do not stay.
A position that has to be posted so frequently is not a job worth having. Someone left that job for a reason, and it's probably the same reason you won't want that job either.
Tell me, does this sound like a job you would want?
IC at 6 cents a line - You have to give them a schedule when you work, and if you aren't working they call and beat you over the head?
Pretty soon, as I said, they will have us working for free, or worse we will owe them money to sit and type all day. LOL.
That's what happens with me, too; it'll work at the beginning of the day but then not.
My tech guy said he'd look into it but I'm thinking it's just a glitchy program.
I'll bet this one's a real joy to work for.....
;p
Go to work for them and you'll find out
LOLOLOLOL
Believe me, you'll work weekends so don't
go bragging just yet. Chances are M-F will find you running out of work.
I'll tell you how its taking work
Say you, and others like you, come on (or remain on) at the beginning of my shift. The work volumes drop dramatically as YOU make up your hours - TAT issues or not. By the time you've made up your time, there's maybe an hour's worth of work left. That runs out rapidly as my shift was already FULLY staffed, and I get stuck sitting there the whole 12 hour window - and if I'm lucky enough work will trickle in during those extra 4 hours that ALL of us scheduled to work my shift that are fighting for it can get their time in and call it a night.
Night after night I run out of work an hour or 2 before my 8 hours are in. Sometimes I only have 20 minutes left to type - but I am forced to sit there 4 extra hours in order to get that stupid 20 minutes - knowing I'll be short EVERY night, so if I don't make my 8 tonight, the chances of me making it up another day are very slim, because everyone is flexing all over the place. Sure it gives us perfect TAT - it also gives us 4 hours of our lives a day, wasted and unpaid!
No I do NOT want to make it up on my days off. I am already spending 12+ hours a day chained to my workstation. My days off are sacred for my sanity. Maybe it doesn't bother you, but it certainly bothers me, and I quit the last job I had where flexing 24/7 was expected.
I know you need to make your hours. We all do. The MTs are just doing what they have to do. The only real solution is to STOP OVERHIRING. Otherwise flexing eventually gets forced on every employee on every shift, whether they mind it or not!
Webmedx - low work ? Can you make up lines when work available (sm)
or do you have to schedule a make up time or just do without the lines?
I guess you'll find out when you go to work there....sm
Just be sure to not resign from Transcend until you see if this other company is truly all they told you they would be.
Not much. They offshore, too. You'll get all the crap work.
Great idea. I'll work on this in
Thanks.
I don't think you'll find any work here..unless you have a C-phone...
Not much work here to keep me busy or even make my line requirements.
We must work for the same place.. I'll email you (nm)
x
I'll work for them again if they get another eScription account.
The one I was on was lost. Not too heart broken as it was a pain in the butt account.
You'll have work today, but not tomorrow.
nm
You'll work twice as hard to get half as much, it seems
z
2 Months There--ENOUGH! Only work you'll get plenty of there..sm
 Was there less than 2 months. The only work you'll get plenty of there is unpaid work, demographics, looking up names the dictator won't spell... if you complaint about the above, they'll terminate your contract. Thus, hard to get line count...there is little of that!
They'll work with the report being created in front of them...sm
With all the times I've had residents, PAs, or NPs dictate sentences, erase them, start again, erase them, and then end up saying go back to where I said [fill in the blank] and put [such and such] instead, I can't see a machine being able to correctly interpret all that. If they work with the document being created in front of them, they can fix all this stuff as they go along. Just highlight the old stuff they want out and replace it with the new stuff they really wanted.
I can't see the computers picking up medication errors, dosage errors, incorrect dates, new operative equipment, being able to correctly flag right/left, or correct spelling of cc'd physicians' names. Most likely there is another program running with it that would do a pop screen for amoxicillin 5000 mg tid to question it. Physician names are probably in a pop up screen too. Of course, it's not going to correct everything but when the COX-2 inhibitors were taken off the market do you think a human could go through all 5,785 charts to find the people who had been prescribed Celebrex to call them to tell them to stop taking it? Of course not. It's not a matter of IF MT's will be replaced, it's already  happening.
lol You'll be hard pressed to find work with

First rule, never work for a company who says "I'll pay you when I get paid." sm
This is unacceptable. Any company with a decent client base gets paid at least net 30 days. I previously operated a small service and paid my subcontractors twice monthly despite being paid net 30 days by my physician groups. Yes, it was a hardship for me, but I brought those who worked hard to help me maintain my service first. Any company who pays their workers when they get paid, does not deserve to employ others. Plain and simple there is no excuse for this. Please, please find a company who values your work instead of using you.
Worst company to work for. Read the archives and you'll
be hard pressed to find anything good about this company.
If you'll read through past posts you'll find lots of
recent info. Why do you need menitoring if you already work as an MT. Unless you do clinic work most companies will require you to work at least one weekend day, at least initially.
You'll work as an employee, not IC. Need your own C-phone and pay for your own long distance line
s
Workin, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that one of the suggestions will work for you too. nm
nm
Can only get lines if there is work and that has been
a rarity lately, but they still keep advertising for more help.
Yep, but be sure to ask how many have to work 40 anyway to get their lines. nm
xxx
I'd just like to have some work!! I ran out after only 172 lines! UGH! nm
x
Where do you work making all those lines?
nm
IC cannot be told I need you to work between 1 and 5 but they can say I need these lines by
:+
Do you have enough work? 1000 lines a day?
I have read on some of the threads that there is not enough work to keep everyone busy.
If you can't get your lines because of lack of work what
good is it going to do to pay a bonus based on lines produced. I'm not dumb enough to be fooled by that ploy.
What crap! I get my lines in and they ask me to work
extra all the time. There is no way to indicate OT, just total lines, at least on my accounts. Everything I say can be documented. You need to get your facts straight before you start throwing that BS around.
Where I work we were told we HAD to get our lines in - sm
So right now many of us have been camping out at the computers fighting for every line we can get. Not sure I am going to last much longer at this pace. 
If you'll read the archives you'll find out everything
you want to know, none of it good.
How many hours in a week do you normally work to get your lines in?
Just curious. I work 50-plus hours here to make it work for our family, would love to cut back
Is it hard to get lines at Precyse? Does work run
nm
2000 lines per day, what kind of work are you doing? nm
xx
You will work many hours over 40 to meet your lines nm
nm
Which means you can get a lot of lines by doing shoddy work? nm
x
How do you get your required lines if there was no work at DSG or Keystrokes. Is
that a problem with them if there is no work or what do you do. Thanks!
I was referring to the no work situation and getting in lines. nm
:
Beyond Text doesn't work long enough to allow you to get any lines. nm
