Keystrokes BEST team has not started yet. There is a tentative start date of sm

It sounds different though as Keystrokes BEST is a team that cleans up backlogs left by other companies and is made up of their top MTs. I do know that they are still in selection process as they just asked me a few days ago. I also know that you have to be with them a while, be flexible and be good at learning different accounts.
I think that Transolutions STAR program is just for more experienced MTs and you can be new to them.
Both ideas sound good but different.

start date?
anybody been contacted for a new start date?
Anybody know the exact start date of the
It's not the start date that's always the problem...sm
 If they give you a start date and not put you on 100% QA right away...OK. If they put you on 100% QA and give you guaranteed hourly minimum while you're in training, that's OK, too. But what about the ones that put you on QA until their own QA monitor (who may be required to given feedback on everything and also have to justify his/her job and sometimes nitpicks just a little too much  )...and who will not let you do more than 2-5 jobs a day until you're off of QA?
It kind of depends on your start date sm
Work 1st through 15th, counts go in at end of day on the the 15th, get paid on the 1st. Work 16th through last day of month, counts go in at end of day last day of the month, get paid on the 15th. So if you work the 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th you would get paid for those 4 days on the 1st (so just a little over 2 weeks).
I have the same situation. My start date was actually supposed to be 12/29 and I am still waiting.
I have been in contact with them, but it seems this will happen in their own good time. It's strange cause I keep receiving global emails through my company email, and they are begging people to work extra to take care of a backlog. Last night a manager called me on the phone to request that I work overtime, and I explained my situation to her. She didn't seem too surprised, but I have to wonder if maybe someone isn't doing their job. The general manager is aware now anyway. Whether that makes any difference? Email me if you want to compare notes.
This is not what the KS team is at all but it also has not started
yet. It is going to be radiology only from what I understand and only for vacation coverage and heavy volume for hospitals, not every day, so it will pay very high.
Looking at applying with either DSG or Keystrokes. Any up-to-date info would
be appreciated such as work availability, etc.

I meant the same as the Keystrokes BEST team. sm
My fingers are clumsy tonight.
Keystrokes lead MTs and management team are great. I am sure I
will be flamed but I really like my lead and have never had anything but positive experiences with anyone in Keystrokes.
The nay-sayers will start their bashing now I am sure.
Only Keystrokes. Worked at MQ until I came to Keystrokes. Started at sm
Keystrokes PT, liked what I saw and experienced, gave notice to MQ and went FT. Have not look back since. I had previously worked at 2 hospitals, for MDI, Transcend and MRC until bought by MQ. I plan on retiring here as long as they stay as they are.
I start w/ Keystrokes Monday after
7 1/2 years with MQ, and am way excited to have ONE account, to be no longer drowning in the cesspool!! Anyone thinking about MQ, better keep thinking. Better yet, start RUNNING the other way, fast. 
I started with Keystrokes at the end of August (sm)
and I like it...very nice people to work for and very helpful..
I started with Keystrokes in September and so far I like it...(sm)
Before KS I worked at Medquist for 8 years and at a local hospital for 15 years before that. I think KS is pretty flexible...they seem to be so far and leave you alone. I don't know about TransHealth or Trans Tech but I do like KS so far.
Anybody apply and start the Keystrokes acute care yet?
The job posting for the DQS and acute care looks really interesting. The post says possibly start the day after resume is received! Lots of perks, and sign ons, etc. Wondering if Keystrokes got a MQ account. I am not a MQ MT, but wondered if anybody is already working or plans to get into this job. It is really, really tempting, but nobody has posted here about it, so I thought I would inquire. If anyone has any kind of experience on this, perhaps it could get me to try. Thanks!
I started 3 days after being hired by Keystrokes and have been there since
June. I love my account and have no complaints.
I started as an IC with Keystrokes and moved to employee status after 90 days. nm

I just started with Keystrokes full time and am on a Meditech account. sm
I would not call it my favorite platform by any means -- I think it is rather slow and cumbersome -- but with the addition of ShortHand and getting used to how things are done, I am picking up speed and hope to be at my normal level soon. One of the pluses to Meditech is that you can access the patient's chart and see other reports dictated, plus lab reports, x-rays, etc.
Too bad they got rid of Indian team leads. My US team lead is the worst.
opppss meant purple team, not red team.
Sorry, I meant the purple team.
I was hired and started in 1 week. That is not a long set-up time. When I started with our local h
I needed to get a physical and go through orientation at the hospital which is only given two times per month. This is a 900-bed hospital, so it cannot be an unusual process. MQ took 2 weeks. KS took 1 week. SoftScript never got me started even after repeated calls and emails.
I have only been with KS for 9 months but would never put them in the same catagory as the others you mentioned. They are the best company I have worked for, and unfortunately, I have bounced around a little in the last 5 years.

TransHealth has some that start the next month after you start work. nm

The date
Did you notice that the date on the postings shows 03/04? That's strange, too. Where I live, in the USA, it is still 03/03.
You do not have to put your date of birth on
an application. It is illegal for them to ask age so date of birth falls in line. If you want to just provide the month and day, that's okay. The only time you would have to give date of birth or anything age related would be after you get the job and I can't really think of a reason they would need that. They would probably find it out on your driver's license for identity purposes but other than that, I see no reason to let them have it prior. Social security number again is a sensitive issue for application purposes only. When you get the job of course you do HAVE to give it whether you are employee or IC. I just would not randomly provide them with this information until you are hired and if they don't like it, they do not have to.
Did you check the date (m)
on the ad? The one I found for them on MT stars is from 2003. May not be around anymore.
Just had not said anything to date, but getting concerned. n/m

Anyone with up to date info re TRS?
What is the most up to date info on TRS? Good or bad? I read an old archives that said they deduct lines from you pay if client gets a report with errors. Also read that it is hard to get lines with their platform. Need the most current info regarding this company. Thank you.
Can someone tell me a little something up-to-date about these companies. nm
:
My bad. Pay date the last day of the month,
not the 30th.
IMPORTANT DATE
Another poster just indicated the date of the official merge is September 1st.
I just wanted to point this out so anyone intending to take a stand could make August 31st, 2009, their last date of employment for MDI-MD.
Closing date is 08/31 but there's a 15-day
nm
I have work, all on today's date.

So, the ad was still posted after your cutoff date? sm
How tacky is THAT?
Any up-to-date info on Transcend?
Archives from 2005 bring up a lot of problems with platform going down. Is this still the case? Is pay on time? TIA.
scroll to posts from the date
03-03-2007. Theye are posts from management regarding PT issue.
Can you restore to an earlier date and get (sm)
the changes the techie made to your computer? I had 2 different companies set me up with an e-mail addy for their company, and got scam stock e-mails. I feel your pain.
Need up-to-date info for Medware?
I am thinking about working for them, but need current info as far as flexibility, etc.
TIA
Do ctrl S then search by your ID # and the date.
Then you can compare job #s but only if you're writing down the document ID and not the voice job ID.
Not sure if this list is up to date or if a fee is charged, but here's
Diskriter, Precyse, Opti-Script (Penn.), CIT (Charts in Time, FLA.), WebMedX, Transcend, Trans-Tech?, MQ?, Spheris, and Amphion.
Would really like any up-to-date info on Transcend.
thanks.
Need up-to-date info on DTS America
Such as platform, incentive plan if any and how does it work, benefits such as health insurance premiums, minimum line requirement, etc
More on Excel date/time
Sounds like you don't mind doing it, but if you're curious - check your formatting.
Go to the cell in question, then use the menu: Format > Cells
Make sure the format is GENERAL then close the dialog
Then type in 5:03 (or any time with just m:ss)
Also, try to type this in: 4:63 -- see what Excel changes it to
Good luck Excelling!
Up to date info on Deventure....Please....NM

When someone says it is my PAY DATE, I expect that to mean the day I am paid. sm
And like the poster above, every other place I have worked, if the pay day falls on a weekend, I got the pay the day before.
Congrats to you for being so quick to defend. I didn't attack the company. I only said I wanted to have a pay day I could count on. If you cannot understand that, then I'm sorry you have no compassion.
And yes, they have grown quickly, perhaps TOO quickly. They make promises to the clients without having the manpower to back it up. Then they do a massive overhiring and then the work dries up. It is a great cycle -- flooded with work, or begging for it.
I do not have to defend myself. I stand by what I said.
Make sure you get an exact date
Be careful that you get an exact training date. Otherwise, you could be left hanging for quite a while. Every time I asked when my training date was, I was not replied to.
Otherwise, I don't know much about this company because I never made it past that point.
Need up-to-date information on Sten-Tel (sm)
Is there anyone that currently works for Sten-Tel or has worked with them in the past 6 months or so that can tell me if they are a decent company to work for? I searched the archives, but everything is at least a couple years old.
TIA!!
I haven't gotten squat to date....nm
