What does manual typewriters have to do
x
I was 15 on a manual in high school....sm
And that was in 1964 - learned to type real well in that class on a manual......but I began MT'g with tapes and privately I still pick up tapes from 4 surgeons twice weekly, but I transcribe those tapes on the computer *lol*....
Good thing about the web is that most of us now find all we need to know today online and rarely reference our books anymore......I like that!! Saves some time....time is money!! 
No, it is a manual time sheet (sm)
Bonus is paid on total for pay period, not hourly bonus. I never put potty breaks on it, just my lunch break, cause that's longer.
Found Answer in the Manual
Should've looked there first, but love the forum here.
I hope I live to see the day that our industry turns completely back to the way it should be - without somebody else making money off of our skills, training, and experience.
Keystrokes manual says 32-1/2 for "adjusted FT" (sm)
which looks like it qualifies for insurance. I think in acutal practice they go by the lines, though, as we don't clock in. It looks like that level is 10,000 lines per period and full time 15,000 (which is odd, I was told 12,000. I may need to ask about that!)
It is true - I looked at my manual
Manual states PTO hours are to be used for vacation, illness, family or personal matters, periods of low work volume and computer downtime. Employees are required to use these PTO hours to ensure a good personal balance between leisure-time, periods of low work volume, and those unexpected absences that affect everyone from time to time.
So yeah, they DO expect us to take PTO for OOW, per the manual.
You are still wrong, I'm sorry; that manual is from 2005 sm
All the managers sent out information saying it was at their discretion. Instead of posting here, why don't you just ask your manager if it is true?
In the manual it says we're expected
Its not a matter of can we use it, its we must use it. The company expects and demands it, which I think its utterly unfair since they deliberately overhire. They won't let us have the option of taking it unpaid - my supervisor recently reminded us of that. Therefore, if you have a vacation scheduled for next month, and you can't get your time in this month, kiss your vacation plans goodbye - you just spent your vacation chained to your desk hoping for work!
Webmedx's new policy manual?
Thoughts?
No, I was referring to the Webmedx Policy Manual. sm
Check the back where it lists privacy rules regarding the platform. I think what you posted crossed the line. Just a tip. You know, the bosses read these boards, too.

Does anyone have this user's guide/manual in pdf format they are willing to share? I went to the Nuance site, but I just do not have the Moolah to buy a manual right now as I am just starting a new job after being without a job for 4 months. Thanks
Worked for an MT service that had a mistake on the cover of Employee Manual (sm)
That is bad.
you fill out a manual report and email to payroll at end of pay period.

Pick a relatively short report and do a manual count of characters
including spaces if your company counts them. Then divide the total by 65 or whatever your lines are defined as. If there is a discrepancy between your manual count and their systematic count, you have a problem.
I did this recenty on ExText and find I am getting shorted about 1-2 lines per report. 
9cpl and 11 cpl for weekends. Use ExText. My ExText version wasn't compatible with theirs

Are you kidding and hoping htagt MTing will go back to manual typewriters again?...nm
nm
that's why I went with online
I had the same situation. Was being paid about $14.5 w/nighttime differential. Myself and 2 other MTs in the hospital did all the work (out of about 6 total) and were paid the lowest. When they hired someone who supposedly had a lot of experience that did not know basic rad terminology (and I mean this was REAL bad) and typed no more than 12 simple chest/bone reports in a 5-hr day and wouldn't fire her, I quit.
Best move I ever made. Went COBRA for 18 mos. Would never go back. They called about 6 mos later asking if I cd prn (they were 700 reports behind with the 2 other top MTs out) & I told them $20/hr and they wouldn't do it - so no go for me.
on their online app, it says they don't have PT.
where is the online EC
nm
They have ads online, just none on here.
They have ads out all over the internet saying they are hiring, just none on here and I applied. They offered me the position the day after I applied and I got suspicious after I realized they didn't even require me to take any sort of test or anything. I hate that they sent me the equipment BEFORE they gave me this info, but I am going to mail it right back to them, it sounds too shady to me as well.
Well I tried looking online for information
but there was none of any help. I think that is a sign to decline the offer.
This is for online work...
maybe you have a backlog on C-phone work, but always a shortage with online.
OK- I didn't know they had online AND
C-Phone work. I may still apply....
Thanks...I went online and applied. nm
Online testing
Does anyone else have a problem with online testing for a company, in response to an ad on the job board, before even speaking with a recruiter or person from the company? The ad gives no indication of pay or the shift they are hiring for - do I spend time taking a test and then find out the hours I need are not available? Do I spend time taking a test, then find out the pay is so low and the insurance so high that I would not have applied, had I known this before hand? Does it feel kind of impersonal to take a test without even having had contact with a person? Do you spend time taking the test and hope the hours are what you want or do you just ignore this job posting?
Applying online....
On www.mditrans.net there is a link on the left that says apply online. I don't think there is a link to apply online at the other site, just email/phone numbers if you wish to contact them.
ascripts online
Has anyone heard of them? Thanks for the info.

thanks, I did the online application for TT
hope to hear from them soon.
Not at online companies.
The ads tell all. They all pay between 7 and 9 cpl. Some will pay 10, but I would say they are probably ESL accounts that they can't find anyone to do.
Again: Nowadays this is done ONLINE...sm
What is going on on this boards?
Is this some kind of advertising campaign to buy
BOOKS
for doing MTing?
MTs are pressured to use hot keys (shortcuts) instead of the mouse ,, and not to take one's fingers off the keyboard, especialy when doing VR.
Why should I go and look into my books, wasting all that time?
one can look up these 'slangs' online,
does not mean one is a user.
8-9 cpl for online MTSOs and
with no middle man.

Medscribe Online....any info?
Just trying to see if this company is legit or not. Do they pay on time? Thank you.
Anyone take the online Medware test?

usually, for the online tests, you can download...
the voice file into a file on your computer, then download into Express Scribe player (free online), so you can use your foot pedal instead of the keyboard.
No shortage on my online account
I only work via .wav account right now, so that is ONLY online work. My account has a backlog, and the total amount of minutes on the system for all online accounts awhile ago was about 2900, so I have no idea what's going on with your account, because there's no shortage that I can see.
Another ? about Med. Transcription Corp. & Online App.
Hi,
They ask what is your preferred specialty and preferred work type as well as most difficult specialty and work type.
What are they referring to when they say work type? I'm confused. Don't understand what they are referring to.
Thanks.
You can file a complaint online at www.bbb.org

I have made 3 complaints with the online BBB and it
did not cost a cent. It never hurts to try.
I sent them my resume and took their online tests...
they e-mailed me and said I did extremely well on the tests. Then I took the online transcription test. I told them ahead of time that in my 15 years of transcribing I did maybe 5 OP reports and they said that was fine. I have NO experience in them whatsoever. One of the test reports was an OP which I failed miserably. The other 2 reports I did fine on. However, they did not hire me and I have to believe it was solely on that one OP report because all they could tell me was I did well on MOST of the transcription test reports. Oh well...I have heard a lot of good about them though apart from running out of work.

Medscribe online test!?
Anybody ever try to apply with Medscribe? I have tried to contact these people repeatedly, taken their online test 3 times, and still I have no idea whats going on! I spoke to the recruiter guy, he said he would try to find out what the problem is, but I have not heard from him in awhile! Anyone else have this same problem?
I use a combination of online and books
I do radiology and have 4 Stedmans - radiology, medical and surgical equipment, cardiovascular and pulmonary, and ortho. I had a big drug book when I was typing acute care, but found that it was WAY too cumbersome and so used Medline Plus for drugs. I can't do without my Dorlands online, but if you go to dorlands.com, you have to pay for a subscription, so I used mercksource.com, clicked on Medical Dictionary and it takes you to Dorlands, and that page is in my Favorites. Of course, the reason I like radiology is that 99% of the time you're typing the same thing over and over and you rarely have to look anything up! But it's that 1% that'll get ya.
Yes, you can also print them from Utilipro online. nm

I took TransTech online test, anybody else? SM
How long until you hear from them?? TIA.
Online Externship needed
I am a transcription student looking for an online company that offers an externship. I have to complete an externship in order to graduate, but need to do so online, and am having trouble finding an online company that would be willing to take me in. I have looked at multiple sites for transcription companies but still feel like I am lost. Does any one know: Are there any companies offering online externships?
