What would they be fishing for on this board? 

Looking for a little Friday evening entertainment. Trying to stir the pot. Never fall for the shame on you line.

The mysteriously secret and elusive JLG has a purple banner running on top of one of the boards - stating now hiring.  Don't everybody grab their feather quills all at once, now.

What in the world could it be other than free work?  Try backlog catchup for free!  Horrible... 

I certainly am not a lawyer but I cannot possibly imagine a company being required to pay OT they didn't ask to be worked.  So far as emails I  have personally received asking for help to meet TAT,they ALWAYS say something to the effect of....if you have not met your line or hour requirements...if they want over time they ask for it and they INSIST on paying for it!!!!

One thing I do agree with you on is the discipline you mentioned.  Might be a good idea for someone to let management at TT know what is being said here and I would personally be delighted if they could identify the malcontents and FIRE them.  All-in-all Transtech is a good company...not perfect by any means...but as an old goat with nearly half a century in this business I can tell you there are a WHOLE LOT worse companies out there and I hope some of you find them.  You deserve it!

is to leave well enough alone when these threads start.  I have personally witnessed your responses on countless threads on more than just one board, and I am always amazed at how you just don't understand you hurt yourself more than any posting of =rumors= about your company.  You say we don't know how you run your business.  Well, we know a lot more about it now with your post than we did before, don't we?  (psst, so do your competetors)  Is that necessarily a good thing?  I don't see the CEO of Medquist running around on here trying to imply legal ramifications or trying to help us understand that company's way of conducting business.  In 1997 I quit a company where the owner sent out a memo telling employees not to discuss it on the internet.  It amazes me that an owner believes s/he has the kind of control over anyone to regulate what the people who work for them think or do OR feel intimidated that your lawyer is going into the Big Brother Business.

For the record, I have never looked into working for your company, am not a former employee/contractor, have no interest in doing any sort of business with you whatsoever.  The reason I mention this is because I have mentioned this to you in the past and it continues to fall on deaf ears.  You do more harm by what you say than any of the MTs, editors, students, curious onlookers, do here.  If you try to hold your head up high and let things be, the reputation of your company could possibly benefit, but then, I don't control what you say, think, feel or do, either.

When I recently contacted a lawyer who represents outsourcing employers about what I thought was a rather intrusive employee handbook with strict verbage about talking about that company in public and even in private email, her response to me was to sign it.  She reminded me that it didn't change what I thought, but employers don't like employees/contractors bad mouthing them, and then asked me why I felt it was a big deal.  So now I'm going to offer you to think about that from your side.  Employees/contractors don't like employers bad mouthing them, and by the way, why is it a big deal for you?  Tend to your business and let go of what you can't control.

my 2 cents for what it is worth

~~~~~~~~~

Einstein:  Insanity:  Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

the MTs who want to work set schedules and be ICs - go for it; just know that you are allowing these companies to take advantage.  If you are a true IC, then you don't need them to give you a schedule.  No one knows when the work is available.  These companies place work into the system at any given time.  It's not always the dictators dictating when the work is published to be transcribed.

Some of us don't want to be taken advantage of any longer; it's time these MTSOs pay us as employees if they want to dictate set schedules and have us use their equipment and especially count our lines for us.  As an IC with my own accounts, I count the lines, and I bill the client my way, not their way! 

Ya know this has taken over the entire company board, and it's not fair.  No one can even ask regular questions due to all this mess.

Has anything changed in 9 months? Particular worries are the invoice/pay time; one post mentioned 2 to 3 week wait and another post stated 1 week. Info from the company states pay is sent out 10 days after the last day of the billing period, but we all know what is said and what is done isn't always the same. Another concern is the platform; some mentioned it was slow and cumbersome. They have 2 platforms from what I can gather.. Are they both slow? It seemed like certain specialties were done on certain platforms, or at least that is what I got out of the archives. I really hate to jump from the frying pan to the fire so any info would be VERY much appreciated.. the good, bad, and the ugly! TIA!!

Along with the platform, ESL %, pay range, lpd required, split shift or 12-24 hour window available, I would be interested in knowing your personal experience with this company, what type of relationship you have with supervisors and other coworkers, etc.  Otherwise, the all the 411. 

Thanks!

love working there and why? Do you easily meet your incentive pay or as past people have said, the ESL are so bad that you never meet the line count. I need current and new information. Isnt there a company out there that has a handful of happy employees or does all of them have both the haters and lovers. It is so hard to sort out fact from fiction sometimes and all of us have different expectations. It kind of goes along with the one man's junk is another man's treasures theory, I suppose.

I asked the same question a couple days ago and got some VERY VERY negative responses.  I actually told the recruiter that they had a negative reputation on these boards and she seemed flabergasted.  I needed an employee position and they hire only IC.  Pay is 9 cents/65 char line with spaces.  They have 2 hospital accounts they are hiring for; one they will send you a computer and you will use their requipment.  The other requires purchase of a C-phone.  They are standard 4 hospital.  You must commit to a minimum line count (1000 lines per day).  No benefits.  Direct deposit twice a month. 

I was not impressed and was glad when i discovered they were only looking for IC.

Hope this helps.
