MDI Maryland -- Bonuses?
Posted By: wonderin' on 2008-01-14

It was my understanding that MDI does not have production incentives or bonuses. However, when I looked at their website it says this:
. . . And we show it to you through appreciation, excellent pay, bonuses and, more importantly, respect for your work.
Does any MDI MT have any info concerning the bonuses? I would appreciate it.

Bonuses
You missed the point completely. This is a profitable MT service with over 600+ MTs. There is nothing thoughtful at all about sending an item that cost less than $4 (no exageration on that figure by the way), with no letter of recognition, no Happy Holidays, no nothing. It certainly sent a message to me of how much they valued the job I did this year for them. Furthermore I have gotten very inexpensive gifts in the past from both large and smaller MTSOs that were not expensive but thoughtful and totally appreciated, so please do not interpret this strictly as a money issue.
Bonuses
One very nice bonus from some local docs I take care of. One extremely tacky cheap bonus from my main employer. While I don't think anything is owed, and did not even expect anything, I am struggling with the fact that this was absolutely insulting.
bonuses
Once in a blue moon they will offer a bonus if an account is in severe backlog, but no regular incentive bonuses. They already pay pretty well, so I'm not too concerned about production bonuses.
Why would they pay bonuses when they don't pay OT?
Bonuses
Too many people such as you tend to feel they are ENTITLED to a bonus no matter what the economy is. You should be very thankful that you even have a job (even one you complain about at every opportunity) when so many people are so much less fortunate than yourself.
Quarterly bonuses
Are the quarterly bonuses still being offered for SE's and what about the SE's who have been here for years??
SE's still get quarterly bonuses
I still get quarterly bonuses as an SE..I also have gotten extra for tier work. I dont know what that is all about, I havent asked (dont like dealing with the office much)..What I think, however, is as a part timer, if I do more than 6,000 lines/pay period, I guess I move to a higher tier. I got approximately $30.00 extra a few pay checks ago. It was listed on my pay stub.
6-8.5 cpl. Don't know about bonuses or benefits. nm

Signon bonuses
I agree. There are so many MTs flooding the marketplace, they do not need to offer bonuses. (Sadly enough.)
SIGN-ON BONUSES
Not all companies that offer a sign-on bonus are bad news. Typically a company will offer a sign-on bonus if they are looking to fill positions quickly. A lot of times, this is interlinked with a new client/account go-live. The company wants to make sure they have enough MTs for the go-live. A sign-on bonus also draws more MTs to apply.
Thx. Do they have incentive or bonuses?

Where did you read that about bonuses? nm

More TransTech bonuses
More Transtech bonuses: If less than 10% of reports goes to QA, you get 1/4 cent to line 1.
Also - shift differential & weekend differential to line 1.
Saying that bonuses for quality sm
and production along with working what are for a lot of people unpopular shifts should not be making up for not being paid for headers/footers if the MT is doing the work to get that information.
A bonus paid for other things (not sending to QA, working midnights or reaching very high line counts while doing the other 2 things) should not be replacing pay lost, it should be IN ADDITION.
No bonuses that I'm aware of - s/m
Only been there a couple of months, though. Schedule: You pick either a Sun-Thu or Tue-Sat schedule. You have a 24-hour window to make your daily line count. Minimum required line count is 700 lpd. Need a day off - just tell your supervisor.
Sign on bonuses
I got a job with WebmedX with a $250.00 sign on bonus. Then, they charged me $250.00 to use their equipment. I quit 2 months later. So much for the sign on bonus. Anyone actually get one?
Sign on bonuses
How do sign on bonuses work? Has anyone ever received one? I have seen a couple of companies say a $500 sign on bonus and was wondering, do you get this when you start or after you have been there a designated amount of time? Was just curious. TIA.

Do they supply you with equipment or do you have to use your own. TIA.

MDI-MD is an excellent company...everything from the platform to the pay to the responsiveness of the staff. The accounts are not for beginning MTs, but for anyone with over 5 years experience in most hospital work types the company is a real jewel. Pay is every other Friday. Status is SE, so that self-employment taxes are paid by company. Great flexibility.

I work for MDI and I love my accounts. I have had very few ESL. You are an independent contractor, that is all they hire. I started out at 9.5 cpl. The work on my account is easy. Teaching hospitals are not that different from others no matter what one may think. the account specifics are easy because they are the same on every account they have and the transcription is strictly verbatim. While, I am not that fond of verbatim, because of the docs have bad English skills, it's okay because then you know exactly what the QA is looking for. I did not test for the job. They do not perform audits as most nationals do. You set your own schedule, commit to your own amount of lines per day. It's the best company I have worked for and the people are great. The accounts are from Baltimore... I was leary of ESLs, but I have just about 4 or 5 of them and they are not that bad.
MDI-Maryland
MDI is a good company. however they do not pay extra for working nights,weekends, or holidays and you are expected to work 2 weekend days a month and 2 holidays.

Do any hospitals in Rockville area hire local transcriptionists? TIA

I have never received anything positive from an MDI QA person. I asked for some positive feedback and also asked that it would be nice if they had to say something positive. Their response We don't have time for that All it takes is 2 words Nice job or Good job. How hard is that? They spent a lot time telling the negative, very little time telling the positive.
MDI Maryland
Heavy on ESLs but good cpl. Good supervisers and QA is generally good, unless you get on their list, then they're bears. Very, very, very flexible and accommodating. Nice folks.
MDI-Maryland
I've read the forums but cannot seem to find positives or negatives on MDI-Maryland. Seems they are too good to be true. Any comments would be very appreciated.

I saw at the bottom of the page a post by Rhonda concerning MDI and how happy she is there. There are two MDIs, one in Florida and one in Maryland. I work for MDI-Maryland and I LOVE it!! The people are great, the DQA person I had was so wonderful--not harsh, not insultive, not punitive, just very, very helpful! I have been a MT for over 30 years and have worked for a lot of different places, but MDI is home from now on for me. I have never worked for a MT company who puts their employees first like this company does. They also pay very well and all MTs are SE status, which gives me all the flexibility I need. If you want a good MT home, go to MDI-Maryland.
MDI-Maryland does. nm

Does anyone know if this company is currently hiring? I think you are only an IC. Any employees out there with any info? Thank you.
MDI-Maryland
I was just hired along with a friend of mine by MDI-Maryland and just had their training and still am on full QA. I think they are still hiring. They have a lot of work. Status is statutory employee, not fully IC, so they pay half of the taxes.
MDI-Maryland
Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.

MDI Maryland Pay
Hi - Just started with MDI in Maryland but having trouble making as much as my old job. Can anyone tell me how long it took to get up to speed? Thanks in advance.
MDI Maryland
So far, so good for me. I'm still in training phase but they've been very quick to answer any questions, the platform is a breeze, and the pay isn't bad.
I've got 18 years of acute care experience and am a CMT, so I've seen a lot of mediocre, especially in the last few years. My early opinion - this company is a keeper, no offshoring, flexibility of schedule, excellent communication. Worth trying to get your foot in the door! : )
MDI- Maryland
Anyone working for them as a statutory employee? How are they to work for. Is work plentiful? Anyone working on Lanier account?
MDI Maryland
MDI is a wonderful company to work for. I've been with them on and off for over 5 years - after reviewing a lot of the offers on this site, as well as MT's pros and cons on other companies, I feel blessed to be working for a such a great company!
Good luck!
MDS in Maryland
Good afternoon. I'm looking for a part-time position and would love to apply with this company. Can any current employees tell me where to go to apply? If there's a referral program, please email me. I have 11 years' experience in acute care and ER, all specialities except radiology. I currently work full time and desire part time now.
No, MDI-MD (Maryland)

I have been at MDI-MD for a few years and am happy there. If you are looking for employee status, this isn't your place, but I love the totally flexible schedule, being able to work without someone looking over my shoulder constantly, and the good pay.
MDI in Maryland
Hi. Does anyone work for this company and have any positives/negatives? Thanks in advance!
yes, that is in Maryland, the one
with good posts (and some not so good lately). and they do NOT send work overseas. I work for them and am very happy with the company. e/m me if you wish.
MRC Maryland?....nm

yes - Maryland nm
yes
MDI-Maryland
What kind of work do they have - is it acute care, clinic, ER, or other? Also, they just hire IC right, no benefits? Is the work done through the Internet or a phone line?
Thanks :)
Yes it was the MDI in Maryland sm
see my post above. I don't know what they told you when they hired you but this is what they are doing now. On top of that when i got the above e-mail I ignored it because I could not accommodate their rules but they called me anyway and I had not tested etc. Im glad you are happy with them but this is not what they are advertising now. Just another conpany trying to get around the rules. As long as MTs accept this kind of treatment it will keep happening.
MDI-Maryland
What is the minimum number of hours you can work for MDI-Maryland after you slowly get started with the five reports?
Shall we bet these managers are getting a bonus to do this. I bet so. Wonder how many bonuses they
will get when everyone quits or they lose all the accounts. Do you think these managers ever did transcription. Give me a break.
Anyone notice there seem to be less sign on bonuses out there? (sm)
I am assuming (and we all know what happens when we assume) that this is because so many of the MQ people are out looking to change jobs that the companies feel like they don't have to work so hard to attract people.
Any Christmas gifts/bonuses from...
Any Christmas bonuses or gifts from Futurenet Technology?
Referral bonuses not paid - that's NOT RIGHT. nm
Not right at all.
spheris incentives and bonuses.....
When I worked there, they did not offer actual monetary bonuses or incentives. I did get a drop in pay from $12.50 an hour to $10.50 an hour and never understood that one, especially being a four-star quality employee. BUT...when I worked there, they did, especially around Christmas and New Year's, offer such things as Home Depot cards, etc. It was almost like having your name drawn out of a hat or playing the lottery. If you were online when they were ready to pick a winner, you just might win that card. I won many, many times..very easy (and fun). They used to pay for spaces, but I don't remember them paying for headers and footers. Base pay was not that great and never a raise. I got the raise when they were Edix, but they dropped me back when it became Spheris. Hope that helps.
