Mandatory overtime
Yes as of a few months ago when I was there they had mandatory overtime. I think it is better for a company to offer incentive. Mandatory overtime is on a par with home slave.
Can anyone say if they still have Mandatory overtime??? nm
s
Mandatory overtime would keep me FAR away from them. nm
s
They used to have mandatory overtime. Can anyone address this? nm
s
Used to start off at 7.4 cpl and they had Mandatory Overtime! Don't know
s
Beware the Mandatory Overtime with them! Was discussed
s
No mandatory overtime on my team. In fact
work is low.
Post here in Jan. 2007 said they have mandatory overtime. Is this true?
s
So, you need mandatory overtime to reach your line requirement, huh? LOL
Gotcha!
I hear that Amphion is back on mandatory overtime again, so
they must have plenty of work if you can stand tons of emails. For IC status, Advanced Transcription out of Oregon also seems to have plenty of work.
And mandatory overtime (they don't tell you that 'til after you're hired). nm

Boo! Did I scare ya again?
What would scare me is that they sm
have my checking account information moreso than the fact that they didn't pay me. I have often wondered when applying with these companies and they hire you how safe all that stuff is.
Don't let the comments scare you
You are right, there is plenty of work at DR, plus they pay downtime if there is no work. Have been getting quite a bit of OT lately. Management is going through some changes, but hasn't affected me at all. DR is not the best, but I have worked for MQ part time also (quit in November), and DR is not nearly as disorganized as MQ. I'm sure there are better companies out there, but I'm happy at DR so far.
LOL You scare everyone...uhmmm, whatever your
LOL
scare tactic, perhaps?? I had one
supervisor, when working at a hospital, threaten to disable our short-cut program if we did not watch the errors on those.
It was all bull.
dont let that scare you
I have 2 friends that I am in daily contact with. One an MT and one in QA and their line qualifications are both different. Check what yours would be before confirming your employment. Both my friends are very happy there.
What would scare me away is the fact
that they say they are a Christian company. I am a Christian, but I've found that any company, MT or otherwise that claims it will screw you over in a minute. TransAm claims to be a Christian company too and we all know what crooks they are.
you know nothing. You're trying to scare people because
Ask the moderator - is that supposed to scare me?
I stated - it was posted here about a month ago - it was an article from some publication - already said I can't remember - its not speculation - it was a long, long thread full of postings from Spheris MTs - they started the post and were all very upset. Then, like so much on this forum, all got quiet and Spheris postings have vanished. Just like Keystrokes - just like Transcend - If I had the interest or the time, I'd run a Google search on it. It certainly looked legit at the time, was a very interesting long thread. And something that MTs thinking of applying should be aware of - I was hoping that Spheris MTs could comment in follow up. In the grand scheme of things, I could care less, but am certainly glad I had the good fortune to see this info for myself. Blast away - flame away - tattle away - I'm sure all will be deleted soon anyway - typical for most company posts!
Focus Infomatics-Don't let everyone else scare you off! :)
I have been very happy with them. I have more than enough work every single day, and I have never been IM'd during a shift. I think you should make your own decision because all the previous postings on here made me reluctant to start, but I am so glad I did. Everyone has been extremly friendly and helpful. Good Luck! :)
HUGE 2nd on that one! I see errors that really scare me.

Doesn't scare me. Most of the entire MT
The ones who should be worried are the ones who've been screwing MTs for the past decade or so.
The negative posts didn't scare me...
None of them compare to what I've gone through with other companies. The good far outweighs the bad.
Mandatory OT...
I just needed to rant that I am sick of Mandatory OT when I am IC AND typed 1400 lines in a day. There is no pay differential for this overtime until after 1700 lines that day.
Yup...mandatory OT bit the big one.
Glad I'm done with that!
Yep, working and mandatory OT
I love it!!!
Mandatory OT Amphion
You must be on the account with Drs. P, K, et. al. Been there done that. Mandatory OT should be compensated. It costs us money to rearrange our schedules. I exited giving my input and it looks like nothing I had to say made any difference. e-mail me if you like.
Amphion mandatory OT
When I worked there, the mandatory OT consisted of horrible dictators that the in-house MTs did not want to do. If you were making line rate before mandatory OT, you would quickly fall into the pit with mandatory OT. Also demographics on some accounts are a nightmare. Doesn't mandatory overtime make one a home slave?
Mandatory OT? Is that even legal?
x
I thought it was going to become mandatory
That all physicians would have to go to EMR by the year 2010.
Diskriter used to make it mandatory that
a Transcriptionist with less than 3 years experience was not to be hired. Now they are dropping their standards to 2 years, no voice testing, etc. They do have a large turnover
Wow! What horrible place is this?!! Mandatory OT??? Ugh...nm
s
401K isn't elective but mandatory?
That's highly unusual and a new one!
Mandatory extra hours?? How many?
nm
Plus Transtech has lots of OT - non-mandatory
.
Some accts. might still be on the DOS software here. And mandatory OT
s
Mandatory Line Counts
Just call me toad breath! LOL
They told me that high speed was mandatory. sm
I think that most hospitals require it of the services now. Some programs don't work with dial-up.
Not many companies use dial-up anymore.
There is still mandatory OT on some accounts on some days, just not every single day now.

Mandatory Daily Line Counts..
 Can someone tell me what the daily/weekly/per pay period mandatory line counts are for full time transcriptionists? (at the bigger medical transcription services, i.e., Transcend, Diskriter, MDI, etc.) Also, how much more does a CMT make these days? What about shift differentials and holiday pay? It seems only fair that if an MT works a major holiday, like Christmas or Thanksgiving, that they are fairly compensated, but for some reason I wouldn't be surprised if they are not.
Thanks a lot!
thanks, I'm gonna try that! sm
Hope it doesn't ruin my day!!! 
what cha gonna do if we don't???
nm
What cha gonna do?
Are you serious?
How old are you. I mean I am only 21 but you sound like youre 13 or something.
That's not gonna go over too well, I think.
She won't see it as helpful. She's upset. It can be quite catty on here but some are just too sensitive. 
I don't think I am gonna take it....
I think that is too low. I was not aware what VR payed. I have never done it and have no friends who do so I thought that was too low but needed to hear from someone who knows.
gotten, ain't, gonna--so what?
All that, and you couldn't even give OP the answer he/she was looking for. SHEESH!
OF COURSE, there are gonna be ones who act
has not been good. I should say my working experience has not been good as that is the only experience I have had. But it is what it is and that is all I can base my opinion on. However, I share my opinion with MANY MTSO and those in management, the ones that deal with these buisness people on a daily basis.
I'm sure you'very read many posts about mandatory OT on this board.
nm
Sorry but if they are gonna slam on someone, they should at least
make sure it sounds right. It was funny though. It had me on the floor and not completely in an insulting way..JUST FUNNY.
It's gonna get worse SM
When someone posted below who cares about construction workers that pretty well summed up the problem in general. Everything is about 'me.' Our America is on its way to becoming a Third World Country. Watch the news sometime.
