Admin rights are rights to modify different facets of
?!?!
Do I have any rights?
I'm getting concerned because the company I work for hasn't paid us on time the last two pay checks. They say it's because the company is growing, but that doesn't make any sense to me. Whey wouldn't they do payroll earlier then? I'm especially concerned because this time, we didn't even get an email stating our checks would be late this pay period. So now I'm wondering how late it's going to be.
I am not saying the IC has no rights, but the
MTSO has the right to say I do not need help at certain times.
Unemployment Rights
Hi - sorry about your unfortunate experience with Spheris. I don't know if the unemployment laws for the state in which you reside or the state in which THEY reside would apply. Anyway, here's the Tennessee website for employee/employer rights: http://www.state.tn.us/labor-wfd/esdiv.html. Perhaps this is your chance to start off 2006 with a company that appreciates what you bring to the table, utilizes your talents effectively, and allows you to grow while making a living wage! Best of luck!
You have to have admin rights to get
.
What do mean by admin rights?
Do you mean whoever we work for has control over the line counting method?

There is one on the job seeker's board. Says Transcriptionist needed. That one is for $25.
there are MANY links there to learn....sm
about the company - the VERY TOP of the page - I almost missed it myself.....but there's all kinds of info, FAQs, and contact page for any questions you might have that the website did NOT answer for you.
Geesh, you can lead a horse to water, you cannot make them drink it.
And no, I wasn't the poster of that website - it was your reaction that got me curious and so I went to that website and there is a lot of info there....only at the top of the page of the browser......
It is below but they pay links (ie CT abd and pel = 2 reports), and
specials are paid higher.
I think the range is 1.00-1.25 for regular reports and 2.00-3.50 for specials.
Not paid for links........
I work for KS and have been told that the hospital account I am on wont pay for for links. I guess it is up to each individual account? So those long CT's get my goat up as they can be quite lengthy. Am paid more for specials, but only get one or two per shift. Been with them for only a couple months, like the account, like the company, but am feeling like $1.10 per report is not enough. I plan to stay with them for a long while, perhaps ask for a raise down the road.

I used the Google search at top with MTStars checked. Didn't read them all, some old, but a start for you.
We get paid for links on the account I am on. sm
The specials that I get are all the shortest and the best. Ex: PICC line insertion. Right side. Give it a normal.
That may be true, but other companies use it. Med-Links for one. nm

I don't think so, I am making $2.00 per report with links.

Links EVERY AMERICAN should read
Americans are getting fed up with it. My fear is with a blended company of U.S. and India bases, that healthcare providers will not trust that their records actuall are staying in the U.S.

that I found for you. Potential employers are supposed to get written permission to check your credit report and also notify you if adverse action is taken based upon that report, i.e, you not getting the job, and there are penalties if they don't follow procedure. I wonder what they were looking for as pertains to getting an MT job, a lot of information there that not just everybody in the world needs to have, unless they were verifying employment history, SS#, whatever. My husband has to fill out a form starting last year for government security and has to include all MY info too, which didn't set too well with me, but he said if I want him to have the job I better do it, like they need to know if I'm a security risk for him to take bribes or something, okie doke then....while you're at it, why don't you DO something about offshoring so we can keep decent jobs here....

Med-Links and DocuMed NJ info
Does anyone have any information on MedLinks of TN and DocuMed of NJ. I do know there are 2 different DocuMeds. Most posts do not differentiate between the two. I think I read the bad DocuMed is in TN and good one is in NJ. I can't find much at all about MedLinks of TN. Thanks in advance for any information. I sent my resume to MDI but haven't heard anything back......
I just hired on with Med-Links today ... sm
So far they're very professional and courteous. Decent line rate, IC flexibility, and use Bayscribe as a platform. The owner is an actual MT and understands our work process. Best of all, no weekend work. I almost fell out of my chair when she told me that ... :-).
The MQ forum was set up several days ago. The reason you probably could not see the links
in the left hand column is because you need to refresh your browser (F5).
Ask for the raise if the account doesn't pay links. You may be sm
pleasantly surprised. I did and got it and it made all the difference in the world to me. I talked to my lead who said that most accounts pay links and only a few don't. Those are all accounts they had for a while, she said before they knew to charge for them. All new accounts include them, which is great. I love working for Keystrokes!
Did find a Wright Watson Sten-Tel in Austin if their site isn't old. Find 'em with Google. nm

Trying to find info on Encompass on this board, can't find any recent. sm
Anyone have any current info. Any employees out there? Give me the low-down if you can! Thanks a million.
If you find
someone who is hiring for psychiatry and/or psychology, please come back to this message and email me. I have made this post a couple of times before and have not gotten a response.
How to find JUST Ops, not H&P, DS, etc?
Any ideas?
you will probably have to find sm
a company in your country. The companies I know of don't hire MTs out of the country. I don't want to be rude, but just for some information, I wouldn't describe what I wanted as wanting to do reports in my spare time. Very unprofessional.
How do I find it
How do I find it?
Please tell me if you can find a
I would like to know too, but I am not holding my breath either.
I cant find anything on them. nm
:
find a new MT job or get a second job
I definitely know where you are coming from!
If you find out, let ME know - sm
Tried to find this out myself a while back and got no good answer. Seems like no one wanted to speak up. I was scared off because not one person could say one way or the other.
It COULD get better, if we could find a way to get -nm
.
How could we find out? nm
Cant find it either...nm
.
If you find out anything please let me know also...
as I was hired by them
Please find somewhere else
Please, they will not tell you anything, ever. Management changes on a daily basis, the MTs are told nothing. They will ship the work off one day, take it back, then ship it off again at their discretion. There are many GOOD companies out there, don't waste your time and talent on this place. It is apparent that their goal is to replace all American MT's with offshore, it is just a matter of time. They will treat you miserably if you decide to go there.
Where is their ad - I can't find it? nm

How to find?
I have called both the tax and the labor departments in my state and they know of no such regulations.
The way to find out might be to - sm
either have some investigative type get a job at that company's management level.
Sometimes even some hospital medical records management folks actually know where their records are REALLY being typed.
Where I used to work inhouse, that institution has a strict 'No offshoring' policy. They contract only with MTSOs who supposedly do not offshore. Yet some of it IS going offshore, and that hospital MR manager knows it, but the rest of the hospital doesn't. She & the MTSO have some sort of a sweetheart deal going, and she thinks she'll never be found out. Attempts to 'out' her secret by MTs have failed because (1) MTs are never taken seriously there, (2) she's such an adept liar that she always twists things around to come out in her favor, and (c) most of the whistle-blowers in the MT department there have either been fired or driven out.
There's such a wall between MTs & management that it's hard for the truth to be known. I think that's another reason why unionization could help us, because they've got the wherewithall to investigate issues such as cheating MTs on line counts, sending work offshore through the 'back door', etc.
If ever MTs needed someone to unite them and stand up for their cause, it's now.
So how do we find it if you do?
nm
Did you REALLY think you could find a job sm
in this field and NOT do any ESLs? Who are you joking? No such thing these days. Learn to do them all.
Can't find them
in the Yellow Pages and tried to Google that name but nothing comes up for them. I sent them a resume last night. I will let you know if anything happens. Why is it that answers to peoples' questions about companies are not showing up??? Are they being removed? I thought this board was to help people find the company that is right for them. I am not getting any replies to questions I have posed. What are they hiding? Makes me feel like this has become a shady business to be in after 20 years.
For sure. Anyway, I bet they will find something else.
nm
Another way is let them find you. sm
Post your resume on this site, they'll contact you if they're interested. I got quite a few replies but nobody wants dialup.
IMO...you won't find one with the best of everything.
Choose what's important and then look for ones that'll be a good fit. There is no specific answer. There aren't even a specific number of answers. Different for everyone.
go find another job
stop wasting your time on forums and go look for another job
I believe your not a slacker, but do stop complaining
let us know what you find because
I will help in any way I can. I live in Nebraska and there are only 2 or 3 MT companies in this state. It is time to see people lined up outside MQ and all the other places that outsource. It is time for American MTs to have a union. It is time for us to get together and do something about this. I know it feel like we are all alone in this and we are all suffering alone.......but that isn't true. I have read many posts on these boards as well and there are many many intelligent people here. I am sure we can come up with a game plan. We can't lie down and let them stomp on us.
No, but let me/us know if you find one!
Perhaps if you find your own account you could ask that line rate, but offhand, I don't know of any nationals that would start you off at that rate. I can tell you that I was shocked and disappointed when I realized I wouldn't be paid for my experience as I was when I worked in-house. Good luck in your search.
You can probably find better
I started out at Spheris (then Edix) 5 years ago and it's been fine. However, they are moving to voice rec which I believe pays 5.5 cents an hour, something like that. I haven't noticed my productivity increase much so hence my salary has decreased. I will probably look for something else soon. Other than the recently lowered salary I have been satisfied with the company.
From what I can find, they are not the same
company at all. One is called DTS America and the other is Digital Transcription Systems, Inc. in Oklahoma.
If you find don't like it
within3 months, that would be long enough. I couldn't make any real money with it, even with putting in extra hours. The stress is what did me in.
