It has been resolved for me
as of Monday at 3:30 PM Pacific Time.  The company, in my opinion, handled this situation in a very professional, honest, forthcoming, and timely manner. 
hopefully you will get this resolved
As tired as you believe you are with your involvement with LM, there are readers (like me) who are tired of reading about it. Like someone said a couple of months ago, put on some big girl panties and deal with it! Some things in life are worth fighting over. I just would not include a foot pedal and fob return in that category.
All pay issues have been resolved at TTS

and have never had a single problem.  My first paycheck even got direct deposited.  They are wonderful to work for and have a ton of work!  I say go for it!!


Hopefully it will all be resolved tomorrow and
it won't happen again.  Something still doesn't seem right though. 
Problem resolved
Just wanted everyone to know that as of today, things are being taken care of. I will admit I was worried when this happened, as I have been burned before, but this company was definitely professional in the matter, and I will continue to be a loyal employee as long as they are happy with me.
Issue resolved here, too!!

Issue resolved here, too as of 2:30 p.m.  I really never had any doubts to begin with as pay has never been late. 


They are the most professional group of people I have ever worked with in 20+ years. 


It really irritates me that people have to come to a public forum and tell ALL to people who really have nothing to do with the issue.  If you have issues, go to management.  Maybe it's the people who have to run their mouths (fingers) to every MT in the country that haven't gotten their checks yet. 


Boy, things sure do come back to bite sometimes, don't they?


Similar situation resolved
I had a problem last paycheck (not with insurance), called payroll right away and problem was resolved immediately. Call or e-mail first thing on Monday, don't think there is anyone there on weekends.
Let us know when the line counting issue is resolved...sm
as in being able to view line counts live as you type, and then I would like to apply to the company.  Seriously, I think it sounds like a great place to work, but no one should ever work for a company where you cannot view your production in live time.  But, if they get that all straightened around, I will be sending in my resume.  Keep us updated.  TIA
Has TransTech's line counting issue been resolved yet?
But I remember this was a big issue a while back.  Any info appreciated. 
I do at webmedx now that the platform slowness issues are resolved. nm
.
Ascend is advertising pay at 11 cpl. Didnt they have problems paying or is that resolved.
Inquiring minds need to know.
Problem resolved. Was a post office issue apparently. nm

hasn't it been said it can be 30% less...

If the bill is currently in limbo, why would they assign the same bill number to another bill?
I'm not trying to argue with you here and I think that outsourcing is a very important issue that needs to be addressed by congress.  What I'm saying is make sure you have all the correct information.
Is there any company which hasn't been...

complained about???


I've read the posts and wonder.


It hasn't been announced yet..
But some of the office people have "leaked" the info apparently.
Really, that hasn't been my experience at all.
I was initially concerned when I heard the company was sold, but honestly you would never even know they are a part of Transcend unless you actually knew it. (Does that make sense??). The owners are still extremely active, and my managers and team leader are really special.

You are the first person I have ever heard has noticed a change. MDI is growing, but they are growing on their own. I think they have almost 500 transcriptionists at this time. BTW, I don't think Transcend is much bigger than MDI - they also have 500 employees.
This hasn't been my experience other than to say
do my work. Working before anyone else gets up and then end of day seems to make all the difference in making line count in my situation with MDI on a C-phone account. Perhaps it is an issue of what accounts you have and how versatile you are.
OSi hasn't changed
I just left there because of the VR and the low work volumes. They aren't offshoring, I can tell you for sure. I can tell you also that the work is still very low, the VR pay is terrible and forget it about communication, and yes they still micromanage through the IM.
This hasn't been a situation that has gone on for
months.  The biggest account took some of the work back in-house w/o warning.  It was done w/o warning and the other accounts have had to absorb all the MTs who were left w/o work.   I have been there less than a year so I don't know if the work flow is a cyclic thing or not, though if you read the board it seems like the workload is low all over.  I know things are frustrating, but at least they pay for down time.
IT HASN'T BEEN IN OVER 3 YEARS!!
I have never known them to use the supervisor as a recruiter!!!!!!!!!
it hasn't started yet, still getting set up
X
Amphion hasn't, to my recollection
x
Huh??? CyMed hasn't been around for almost 2 years now.
They were bought out by SPi, which is one of the worst companies out there! I know this for a fact as I worked for Cymed for about 2 years until they were bought out by SPi in the mid to late summer of 2006, so they don't even exist anymore.
This is the first year Oracle hasn't sent anything...oh well.
Not even a thanks. As a matter of fact, been unusually quiet this week. Hhmmm, feeling guilty maybe?
I'd like to know why this bunch of crooks hasn't
I can think of a few MTSO bigwigs who could use 150-year jail sentences.........
The industry HASN'T advanced. sm

That's what the 'gripes' and 'complaints' are about.  Technology in this field has advanced, but normally with advancement of technology comes advancement with compensation for continuing education.  That's not happening in this field.  THAT's what the complaints are about.  I, for one, welcome advancement in technology.  I'd still be working on a Selectric typewriter with carbon paper if I didn't.  What I don't welcome is the fact that while technology is advancing, the working conditions are declining.  While we are continually learning and sharpening our skills, researching new terms, equipment, drugs, procedures we are LOSING pay.  This is one of very few industries where the workers are continually required to learn more and do more, but the compensation is going backwards instead of advancing.  When technology advanced for the physicians and for the nurses, did they take cuts in pay?  No, they actually advanced with their fields and their compensation increased based on the justification that they had invested time and money to learn the new technology.  They became 'specialized.'  When technology advanced for the medical centers and hospitals, did they lower their prices because their staff could do their jobs in a few less steps?  No, they raised prices based on the premise of increased price of equipment and costs for doing business.  What about us??  We have increases as well!  What honestly justifies a cut in pay when the cost of everything else is skyrocketing?  Can you tell me that??


This MT board is really the only way we have to communicate about our field.  The 'griping' and 'complaining' is a symptom, and there wouldn't be a symptom if there wasn't an illness.  So obviously there must be something wrong with the way this field of medical transcription is moving.  This networking board allows us to discuss it openly where we can't with our employers or management.  It almost seems as if some people won't be happy until they can take that away from us too. 


So you're one of the lucky ones who hasn't
taken a cut in pay for working longer & harder? It's sad to not be able to feel compassion for your fellow MTs who are struggling to make ends meet when their pay is being cut & the cost of living is rising. The CEOs of the MT corporations aren't going hungry, but some of our fellow MTs are really struggling. My compassion lies with them.
Are you sure you don't mean MDI (Medical Dictation Services, Inc.? MRC hasn't been around
s
She has been told this for years now. Hasn't changed.
You would be shocked at how many MTs have left them.  Amazingly they keep finding others to hire.  Sad, sad, sad.
I was told it hasn't started for any account
In order to finish you have to start and as far as I know no account has been started with this new line counting utility. When I questioned this, on several occasions, each time I was told its still happening but that was the extent of any information that was conveyed to me.
If your company hasn't paid you come payday and

promises it will either be overnighted to your or in your account by the end of the day and it isn't, and the next day the money isn't there and they wait until the end of the day to tell you they don't know when you'll get paid doesn't that sound very fishy?  I think the CEO should have issued a statement and outlined exactly what the issue is.  If it isn't a matter of money (like they don't have it) then why not say what the problem is. 


Someone mentioned this situation yesterday or the day before and got reamed, but I think this is now a MAJOR issue.  Fortunately for me I got a big tax return and I haven't paid all the bills yet so I'm not hurting, but I can imagine there are more than a few who NEED their checks NOW.  


Hasn't your mother taught you any manners?
What is wrong with you to judge? Do you think every MT has to be just like you. Every business has the high achievers and the ones who struggle, possibly to find they have chosen the wrong field, or the wrong company, specialty expander.

Your ladies who toss off your smart a$$ comments at every chance are part of the reason MTs are considered difficult.

If you are like this 24 hours a day, I have a feeling you spend a good deal of time MTing because there is no one else in the house with you. Who'd want to spend time with a person who could cough up a post such as yours? A masochist possibly.

Find yourself a sense of humor and until then, cease posting in representation of medical transcriptions. We have more class than that where I am in this business.


Medware..There hasn't been anything on this board since August 2007...(sm)

Does anyone who works for Medware care to share their opinion about the company in regards to steady work, flexible schedules, platform, benefits, etc.?  You can e-mail me if you wish.  TIA. 


WELL SAID TT12 - mine hasn't run out yet (I love slow times though)

CEO hasn't left yet, she's leaving in August. Co's are bought and sold all the time and I
think this is that big a deal.
The owners haven't changed, MT supe hasn't changed
I've been in their office. I know the people. It is a sweat shop and you will never be paid a decent amount or get respect. You won't know which is a good or a bad day for the person you report to until you literally get yelled at.

They have to offer bonuses because their reputation is that bad and nothing has changed. You may get work that has been recorded 3 times from some of the worst accounts you could ever imagine. They take accounts no one else will touch. That hasn't changed.
