LARTECH, waiting 2 months for a check?
Is anybody out there getting paid at least 60 days out from Lartech? Waiting 2 months for a check? Is this crazy? I am having a hard time staying motivated to work because I know I will not see any money for months.
Check the archives. Lots about them recently.
I wouldn't bother. They can't get you anything better than you can get yourself. They are basically recruiters who get paid if you are hired, but they don't have a whole bunch of companies so they aren't really weeding them out for you.

Post below stated a warning about lartech not paying--be careful with this company if this is true.
Lartech
I have read the post below but I wanted to know if anyone has info on this company that works or worked for them.
Thanks
Lartech...sm
They have an office in India and one in Texas. I'm working for them now and have been for about a month. Everyone I have dealt with is very good to work with. The account I am on is very nice, very few ESL, lots of editing (may be a plus for some) and a small amount of standard transcription. Pay is decent, and on time. They don't have DD, but have said they are looking into it so hopefully they will soon. They have incentives for when you get over certain line amounts each pay period, and those amounts are not hard to meet either so can pretty much count on the incentives each paycheck (at least that is my experience).
I'm happy there.
Lartech QA
HI: I have been working for Lartech for over a year now as a QC and I have several MTs working under me who I correspond with on a daily basis and they are all based in US. I simply love working for them-T
Lartech
It is very sad to see people being racist. I have been working with these people for over a year and wish to continue working with them. Yes, they are Indians but my experience with them has been much better off than working for many other non-Indian companies and I have never experienced any discrimination against me or any other person for that matter-T
Lartech pay
Pay is inconsistent and has been changed to once a month. It is demeaning and now we have all been messaged that the checks are going to be even MORE late, it's been 5 weeks since my last check.
Lartech
Interested in discussion with someone who works for Lartech now.

I use eScription with Lartech. Would enjoy meeting other ladies who work them as well.

Any comments on Lartech????
Try Lartech.
I believe they hire new graduates. They are very nice and good to work for, pay is always on time, it might be a little low (around 6cpl and 3cpl for editing) but it'd be a good place to start.
If you can get a private IC to mentor you that'd be good too.
I took my first job (3 years ago) with a private IC and she paid me 4cpl for a month then 5 cpl after that. I stayed with her for 5 months, made decent money and learned a lot. I was able to go from working for her to a really good, steady job with a nice company. It's worth it to take a lower line rate if you can get the one on one with a mentor.
Best of luck!
Was it with Lartech?
It may bite me in the backside, true, but I have a small business of my own and, although I do not have employees to pay, I know how tight things can get. Personally, I would get a 90-day loan from the bank to pay the MTs until the payment came in from the client. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt because I see the number of years they have been in business and know that they could not have been in business for any length of time if they were flat out not paying the MTs---which I have found no evidence of.
RE: Lartech
The previous posts I read about Lartech said they do pay on time and it's accurate. I'm in the same boat, waiting for my first check, but this 60-day pay cycle is the client's doing, not Lartech's, so I'm not holding that against them. It is hard to stay motivated, but I really like the account and they have been sincerely appreciative that I'm staying on with them.
LARTECH Healthprime
Would be greatly appreciated
Lartech? Anyone here work for them?
I applied just this morning and got a call this evening. They offered me a job without testing. There is a paid trial period where they decide if you can do the work according to what I was told by the recruiter. The pay is not bad, better than I am currently getting at any rate, and I was assured after the trial period it can/will go up.
I am wondering if anyone has experience with this company. It seemed a bit odd to me that I would get hired without testing, but I'm new to the industry so maybe it isn't that uncommon (just under a year working as an MT).
Thanks for any opinions or advice!

Any info on Lartech???
lartech warning...
NONPAYER ALERT HERE!!
LARTECH Healthprime? sm
Has anybody worked or is working for this company? I am supposed to start with them on Tuesday, but am not sure about them?
TIA
Lartech is in TX but I think is mainly Indian run.
and very much slave labor pay.
Lartech, Transcend...
I also believe Transtech and E-Transcription do but I'm not 100% on that.

They are training me this morning to work on thier software as an editor. So far, they seem like very nice, friendly people and very helpful. They seem to be desperate for quality employees. I will let folks know how I make out as I know alot of people are wary of them and I can understand that.

Anyone with information on Lartech?
I'm not finding any info on them and they have offered me a QA job. They say they do not outsource to India, so I'm just trying to confirm this, and that they pay on time. Thanks for any help!

I work for them

I work for them.
Lartech--not paying
I've transcribed for 6 years. I worked Lartech for two months and never saw any pay. The owner keeps saying he didn't receive his pay. Now no communication at all about it. I quit since I can't afford to work for free. He owes me at least $1000. Nice people, but no pay. Do hospitals really not pay? Any way I can find out?

My LarTech Healthprime review
I have seen some older posts on Lartech Healthprime and I just wanted to give a good update/review on this company as I have 2 years of experience working for them.
Also I just wanted any out-of-work MTs to know that they hired me right out of training (I trained with At-Home Professions) but trust me, they have high standards when it comes to quality and they were patient, gave me a chance and helped me along the way.
My gripes (although this apparently is not LarTech's fault but the hospital account I work for) is that I get paid once a month and sometimes it is later than that, very inconsistent pay :(.
There is only two people I can get a hold of if I have any questions but they don't respond right away which is a downfall since my questions have to do with reports I am currently working on and I don't have time to sit around and lose TAT time waiting for them to get on, all communication is done via Yahoo messenger. They do respond to all E-mails, whether it takes them an hour or a day, they will get back to you.
They also do seem to have a problem with communication, for instance, I have been there for about a year and a half and I was only getting 7 cents standard, 3 cents editing and I asked them for a raise, he came back and said he already gave me a half cent raise and was surprised I didn't get that E-mail.
I know, the pay is super low, but I was out of school for a year looking for a job and nobody would give me a shot but they did and now I have 2 years of experience because of it, it beats the internship I almost chose to do for 6 months right?
Anyways, just wanted to get that info out there for any MT students looking to get their foot in the door, they gave me a chance from a very non-reputable school, why not you!
Check Monster, CareerBuilder, MedHunters.com. Check with the companies you see listed if they're
s
Does background check include credit check?
Well I am one of the ones who has talked with them....SM
The pay they quoted me was fairly good though not all that great, but I'm really looking for a smaller company and to get away from the really big companies. I did email with one MT who said she had been with them for 3 months and is now moving from PT to FT because she likes the money she is able to make with them. I took that as a good sign lol. I also looked them up in the archives and could find nothing negative.
I know what you mean about thinking with a maybe this will be the one attitude. I've been really disappointed in my search over the last few months.
I really think what is showing through as excitement in these threads (or just this one lol) is the fact that someone finally heard back from this company. I also think it took a while because it IS small and maybe they are extremely busy. I think the smaller MTSOs and their managers, account leaders, etc., probably all have too much to do everywhere so maybe these particular ladies really have just not had the time to finish up their hiring. JMO you understand.
If you are still looking, maybe you should email them and see if they still have openings. Their ad is on the job board. Just be prepared to possibly wait a couple of a few days for a response lol.
When i talked to them
they were very, very rude!
Only because we do so much rad. I talked to someone who sm
went to a radiology conference this week in Chicago (a radiologist friend) who told me that Keystrokes is everywhere and that whenever he talks to others in radiology, they all mention them. I hope that is good for all of us. I feel secure knowing that. He knows I work for them, so he made sure to tell me that they are very respected in the world of radiology!
I think I talked to them about 18
months ago, and that's what they were offering. Then I asked questions about how efficient things were, and it sounded rather time-consuming to me. They may have improved things by now, of course.
both I talked to
were women. I was actually told the Nuance recruiter wasn't with the company, but her email is still listed with them. This lady had a very thick northern city accent.
What was the name of the person you talked to? nm
x
I talked to them about IC status sm
and I really liked them. You might just call and ask. It would be IC status and you need your own equipment. They download their software.
I talked to her by telephone. sm
After about a 5-minute conversation, I knew I wouldn't be going to work for her. When I asked her about pay dates, she stated that MTs do not get paid until she receives payment from the client because, well, you just never know. She also stated that if she does not feel an MTs work is where she thinks it should be, she will lower their line rate. In my opinion, this person is very unprofessional. I agree with the above post about staying very far away from this business.
When I talked with them about a position, I was going to have to use....
their software and they did send a pedal. However, I decided to go with another company and never even plugged in the pedal that they sent.
Their software is based on MSWord, from what I understand.
HTH
What was the recruiter's name you talked to?
wondering if it is same as the one I talked to. They seemed very nice, but I got a much better offer elsewhere.
OSI - talked to their recruiter sm
and she got snippy with me for just asking a few questions, so I never went further than that with them.
I have talked to the office.
They say they are looking into finding me something.
Susan -- I talked with
recruiter today. It sounds pretty good.
Have you talked to DeVenture?
It is $20 a week for me and another $50 to put my two kids on. The company contributes a flat rate of $280 I believe.
I got hired the same day I talked to them but (sm)
I had to wait about 2 weeks for my keyfob from the hospital.
I talked to a recruiter and she had the
most WONDERFUL position available and that I was luck because the MTs loved this account and there was rarely an opening on it - blah, blah, blah.
She mentioned the account and I had worked on that account when I worked at YOG and I knew it to be a horrendous account.
I talked to the team leader (or whatever her title was) of the account and she told me that they can't keep MTs on the account because it is so difficult and no one wants to work on it. Then she let slip that they offshore and the best dictation goes offshore while the crap stays here.
The recruiter was constantly IM people during my interview, which I felt was unprofessional.
It has been talked about several times, but no one is
willing to do anything so nothing gets done. Personally I have no desire to be in a union and wouldn't join if there was one. By the time you pay union dues you wouldn't be any better off than you are now.
