Hi. Did you ever get your questions answered? If not, let me know.
I'd be glad to help if I could..
Questions not answered
I learned that they are not going to answer our questions for now. I have no doubt they know the answers. I would think they would ask these questions before they agreed to sell out. It is just so frustrating that they will give us absolutely no answers to scheduling and pay rate. Surely they asked these things!
In other words, MQ still has not answered any questions
than to say THE ONUS IS ON YOUR BACK! Get the lines, sit in front of a computer you probably can't type on due to no power, lightening, frozen up, no work.......or expect to lose employee status.
Of course what is employee status with them but a word. It gives you nothing.
There is no way that company should ever offer EMPLOYEE status to an at-home transcriptionist.
And in doing that they should also be made to pay CONTRACT FEES, not employee wages as they are trying to get away with.
When MQ bought out my company there was no change from "employee" line pay up to "SE" line pay. It stayed the same. How insane is that?!
They screwed us from the start. And knew it.
I haven't read all the posts yet and haven't gotten the all important package, although I have quit MQ a while ago, I'm sure it will come, they never know who they have working for them! - but do they even offer Statutory Employees as of January?
OK - I work at TT and I answered the questions
I was answering the questions she emailed me about. Maybe I should have put her part first and my part last.
Hils questions answered...
They are a great company! I get paid on time all the time! It is usually around 4 days after the last day of the pay period we get paid. I do all of their physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy (with the exception of one account). I am part time and usually work around 20 hrs a week, give or take how busy the offices are. I usually type anywhere from 5000 to almost 7000 lines a half. Pay is good. The QA girls and bosses are awesome! So helpful! A benefit of their company is that you are never out of QA. I know that sounds weird, but it's a great thing because that means two sets of eyes are always looking at the notes before they are sent to the doctors. You still have to do your part and work hard and make sure you try not to leave any blanks, but they are really good if you have a couple still. I still have a P.T. that I leave a blank here and there for...she's an interesting dictator! LOL. I love my account and wouldn't trade it for the world. I hired in at Hils and about a month later purchased a used minivan!!! I make enough money to pay for the van payments, my girls catholic school tuition payments and food/gas for the family/cars. My husband pays the rest. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask! I'd be glad to answer any! 
All your questions have been answered in the archives
many times.
I've answered your questions repeatedly.
You have also answered mine by getting so defensive. If you worked for TT in the past and were so unhappy there, as the previous post seems to indicate, then why would you be, and again I am QUOTING your original post, looking into TT.
I'm through going round and round. Good luck. I hope you find or have found a place that makes you happy!
All your questions have been asked and answered several times
the past couple of months. Do a search for past posts.
Any messages/questions are answered within an hour, if not sooner.

I saw that and went to their site - just had a few questions for someone working there nm
nm
Here is a site that will answer your questions
http://www.insure.com/articles/healthinsurance/cobra.html
Checked out your web site - Questions
What is the current client base? Why is there not instructions for an MT who might wish to apply? How long have you been in business?
I would have a million questions. I have a good job now, but might be interested in something part time later on (still training where I am). I have been an MT more years than I care to admit and I have to say - working for the smaller companies is a better choice for me.
I completely concur. Find a good one, or move on, quickly. No loyalty involved. The don't sm
have any to the MTS. NONE of them.
There seems to be new ads on this site everyday, which is a good sign, but
nm
Inhealth Records is a good site. sm
here's the web site:

Their web site says you get paid when the client pays them ... not good. nm
Good Questions
Thanks for your positive comments. This team trusts that I am constantly trying to improve their compensation, so just because I don’t hear them complaining doesn't mean it isn't broke, it just means they know I am trying to work it out. As far as an increase I have been able to increase my MT rates 3 times in the last six months but we are still not at a rate that is commensurate of their contribution. 75% of our business is as an outsource provider for other MT Service companies, 100% of all bonus payments issued by those companies is distributed back to the team that participated on the account. We are trying to find other ways to create bonus pools for distribution.
I agree with your comment about asking the MT team if they would even be interested in the setup of VR, I should have done that. Thanks.
Lastly, yes we are always looking for great people with great attitudes!
Good luck and don't be afraid to ask questions -
if you're having trouble with a word on a report, etc. I always get a quick response back when I send out an email to all!
Yes, you should run very quickly, it is by
far the worst company to work for.
You are still wrong to thank your company on an MT site, appropriate is your site.
NM
Very quickly. It's the truth.
I know some people may take a little longer to answer, but honestly, I only experienced that a couple of years ago when I first started. Whenever I need to ask a question, I've been getting answers very quickly, and I know that when someone IMs me, I'm getting right back to them...unless I ran to the potty. :)
Move on quickly...
There are other great companies out there. This really touched me, you sound like a single mom who is trying to just make the best for her kids. I feel for you! I, too, am trying to raise two kids, but work for a great national even though there has been a lot said of that, but they have been good to me. Don't feel like where you are at is the only option. There are many other places out there, just start looking and working at home really isn't so bad! Good luck to you!
they can speak as quickly as they want to? sm
WHAT? That is an insane statement. What is worse than a doc who is racing through his dictations, almost nothing worse in my opinion, it's my pet peeve I think (hides)
If you pass, they get back w/you quickly
It's after you get "hired" that seems to take forever. I got my test results in 2 days, a week to hear from the recruiter, a week to get employment package, a week to get receipt of that acknowledged and schedule training, a week to start receiving equipment. And who knows how long before one is released from training to full production. I'm starting to wonder, but my current place is so awful that MQ is a definite step up. Anyway, don't quit your old job if you get hired; wait until you know when you will be in full production.
Things disappear so quickly
x
This is classic, but I can usually get them to go away pretty quickly!
No matter what they say I respond No speak English. One lady even tried speaking in Spanish, but I just kept saying the same thing. LOL! Yes, caller ID helps enormously too! I do not answer unknown name calls who do not display their number or anything that seems fishy.
I just quickly looked through my info
and I can't find the tuition reimbursement info. I've not had the opportunity to use it. I do remember something about the fact that they pay for CMT certification if you pass.
If I can answer any other questions for you please don't hesitate to ask!
Things change quickly, I would look twice -sm
All Type has just done a major cut on their MTs pay rate - major. At least 80% of their work is done outside of the country and more is being shipped every day. You are being hired to keep their business moving because many are leaving with the pay cuts and they need you to work while they make the conversion to India complete. They will need editors to cover the inadequacy of those reports but American MTs can wave so long to their jobs with All Type. All Type should take down their American flag and fly the flag from the country they support - India.
things can change very quickly sm
so be careful because you might change your tune!
4 cpl could be for newbies or editors. Don't judge so quickly
Consider that service owners have to take the time to edit and provide feedback to newbies and that takes a LOT of time.
Time clock isn't bad. You quickly get used to it. No big deal. sm
I find them pretty flexible, but you do have to work your total required hours.
could you quickly copy and paste your document into another? then
you could just keep adding on the lines in each document to your own master document for the day. Then you would have a line count for the day. I bet you could write a macro to do this.
I find the lines don't accumulate as quickly, but the atmosphere is GREAT. nm
Giant Red Flag. If that's the company mentality, I'd cut my losses quickly.
nm
Yeah, the timer just starts ticking away while your trying to figure out how to do it quickly
without a foot pedals, and four reports at that. Oh well, guess it wasn't meant to be.
The ones that came back so quickly missed their ham sandwich, beer and wine....sm.
and were not allowed to show their cleavage and wear miniskirts. On top of it, only married couples are allowed to have sex. This in Muslim countries.
TransTech accounts are ALL very quickly going to VR and pay is half line rate
If you like VR and the pay cut, then TT will be a good fit for you. If you are experienced and will let someone pay you less than you are worth, then go for it.
Other than accounts going to VR there and MT pay cut for editing VR reports, TT has been a good fit for me. I am very disappointed in the recent VR pay cuts.
They are changing platforms and cutting our line rate in half as the accounts go live with VR.
With the alleged shortage of decent MTs, which you managers are quickly turning into VR editors sm
You should not be complaining about graphics or colors on resumes. You should, frankly, be grateful for any applications you get. The way MTs are being turned into editors for you voice recognition crap is horrible, and you should be apologizing for it.
Superior Global-out of Plano, TX..anyone else apply recently, told they were hiring quickly and to
do the testing ASAP..only to do the testing ASAP and then hear nothing. Trust me, the testing WAS NOT hard so I can't believe I wouldn't have passed that part. I followed up with emails as to whether they received my tests back etc..but nothing. no response. I find that rude. Even a simple, Dear John, we aren't hiring you would have been polite than nothing at all..Unprofessional
Actually I posted looking for answers to my questions above, not looking to answer questions, but
to here goes...firstly, I don't know about the platform, only that it is Word based. Secondly, I have many years cardio, and thirdly, no the test was not hard. Still looking for any answers to my questions above. Thanks in advance.
Thanks so much to all who answered!
It makes it worse when your posts don't get answered either!! But you guys did, and they stayed long enough for me to read!! No, I am not impressed so far. I could have been hitting the job boards myself for a week now!! Happy nearly weekend!
Is MDI-MD the same as MDI? Sorry if this has been answered before. nm
xxx
i answered
your e/mail and it bounced back to me ???
Sorry nobody has answered.
Landmark - can be great when there is work. As far as I know not steady enough for full time. Pay is not great as they don't pay for spaces. MDI-MD I know they get lots of raves, but I have known some who have not had things go well. I would definitely try them out before leaving Q. Of those I know who did, several are struggling. No experience myself with them. I know from the past, though, that I never leave one before I know the other is all its painted out to be. Best wishes.
I just answered you below.
nm
I have already answered this above. nm
This has already been answered. Only
you can decide. Neither has a great reputation, but Transcend is probably a safer bet than Softscript, but again, only you can decide.
you may just have answered sm
a question for me. I don't work for the same company, but my company just lost the ER part of a huge account. Asked questions for over a month about what was going on and only got the answer that things were slow. Bull! all of a sudden. Finally was told yesterday we lost the biggest part of the ER account which slowed everything down, due to budget restraints.
I am wondering if the ERs went to VR and nobody is telling us. I have come to the conclusion taht all these companies will LIE!
I wish they would figure out that they would be better off to let the MTs know at the beginning what is going on so they could make informed decisions about getting other jobs. So frustrating!
Are you happy now? I answered them all.
I cannot believe you would side with someone who shouts at people for not having any worthwhile input to the questions. People can search the archives for information about ALL the companies listed. Otherwise, Google will bring up any comments made at this and other MT sites. I was not being nasty. Why is it so hard to believe that out of 60-100 views, none of those people worked for XX company? Believe me, honey, I've been plenty nice around here answering technical, newbie and word board questions. You don't shout at people who try to help. THAT is nasty and offensive.
Just answered a question, that's all.
????
I asked this before and don't think it was answered (sm)
Have you ever heard of or worked for Orion (OMT)? Been offered a job and am considering it.
