I see where several are low, real low. I am not sure what is going on. Odd. They did have an ad a little while back. Hope they did not overhire again.

I have plenty of work on my account, just having a little .... SM
trouble getting my line count up. I'm beggining to think I'm getting old and slowing down too much to be on a new account and new system. Very disappointed in this.
Ask for a different account, they have plenty of work. sm
I asked for another account and was placed on one within a week. The funny thing is that I went from Chartscript to Meditech and prefer Meditech! It is straight typing without having to worry about key combinations for bold or underline or anything else. Different strokes for different folks (no pun intended).
plenty of work on my account

PLenty of work here. And I only have 1 account, no back up.
yes, there is plenty of work.....and has been since the new account was added 8/4
I love it....
It depends on which account your on. If you WANT to be on an acct with a C-phone, there is plenty
but, if you like, AND were hired for internet-based, you will be disappointed. Just goes to show that there are two sides to everything. Some people love it and some people hate it.. personally, I have chosen to work for a company that everyone is happy being at and you cannot find one single bad post about them. I have figured out.. that is a for a reason. When you see even one bad post, you should at least look into it further. I thought that people who complained were just ex-disgruntled MTs but soon found out for myself what they were trying to say so I say, go ahead and try it out yourself and decide.
No. Teaching Hospital account, too many dictators = low line count = little $$$. nm

LOL! You made my evening. So

Does KS pay an evening differential?
And if so, what time does it start? Would those who work a split qualify for a differential? Or, if you start early in the day then runs into the evening.
I think it's 0.025 each for evening, night
nm
Sorry, I was told before to try back of an evening when we run out during the day. (sm)
Didn't mean to step on toes. Heck, as long as they won't fire me for it I will gladly just take the time off.
I believe they are flexible, but probably some evening hours and

Rambling evening thout
With technology available today why are MTSOs and offshoring even necessary?. Why not cut out the unnecessary costs of the suits and contract directly with MTs with one co-ordinator or MT supervisor in each facility? A good place to save a lot of money per the health care reform IMHO. Not sure this will even post as I'm using my new handy dandy blackberry but I would like to say more on this subject.
Goodnight Lee. I hope the remainder of your evening
no message.
Wondering, too. Their ad here for Rad is for the evening shift at 1.31 per exam. nm

LOL! Good one..thanks for giving me my laugh for the evening! (nm)

The case for weekend and evening incentive pay ~
I believe in incentive pay for covering weekends, evenings and holidays. It seems there is always a demand for these duty periods. Yet some companies do NOT offer incentive pay and I would like to hear appropriate reasonings why they SHOULD. After all, we are giving up our precious, coveted time for their obviously hard-to-cover time slots!
Other than the obvious reasons of weekends and evenings being the only time when a majority families/individuals can relax and recreate, what are other sound reasonings for companies to pay more for these shifts. Thanks for responding!
I was offered 8.5 cpl for acute care, evening shift. Way too low for a very

right now plenty of work, also plenty of ESLs.nm

Plenty of BOTH on my end, I do traditional have plenty of work, always

I didn't sign up to work Thanksgiving, but I will in the evening for a while at least. I heard s
that so many MTs want to work the morning hours that there will be almost no MTs to cover any evening work. I heard like only about 1.2 MTs per account. If there is work, I'll have it to be sure.
Is the work flow pretty steady on the evening shift

In my Extext experience count was about 10% less than the Word count. nm

It means to double check what THEY say your count it. Count
uj
Are you aware of how they count your time?.. or don't count it i should say
nm
Maybe the one you got looked better
The one I received appeared childish and not at all professional.
Looked them up.......
and it said there was 1 employee. Maybe it is a 1-woman business and she needs help for a while. That would explain not paying on time (she has to wait to get paid before she can pay anyone else). I would proceed with caution.
have you ever actually looked into this??? SM
YES, you can't get benefits for half, but the coverage is all but worthless! Basically covers a disaster and nothing more. HUGE deductibles, etc. So yes, you can get an insurance policy for half the cost, but for what? Trust me, I have spent hours researching this for my own family when we needed our own benefits. It was awful.
Just looked
At their hospital list and they definitely ARE NOT hospitals that they service, they couldn't possibly, as a lot of the hospitals are accounts that I work on for Medquist
yea i looked
yea i have looked an the job seekers forum but did not see anything. i have no idea where else to look. i really want to find something online though.
Just looked
Don't know anything about SS, but I looked at the posts and they are really stupid and very immature. Also served no purpose whatsoever.
I never really looked at it that way....

Have you looked in the............. sm
yellow pages at the physician listings lately? The Indian physicians are coming to the US where they can make money off of insurance companies, Medicare and Medicaid.
I worked for an Indian physician in the 1990s and he told me that he was thrilled to be able to come to America to do his residency where he made $5 an hour reading telemetry strips and EKGs while completing the residency program. He told me that doctors in India make so little because there is no insurance program there, and even if there were, the majority of Indians are so poor they couldn't afford it.
We Americans tend to forget that not every country in the world is as highly developed as we are in terms of health care, technology and even general living conditions.
Well, DUH! Guess I could have looked that up, eh? (LM)
(Smacking myself for being not so smart.) Thanks!
Well, I DID look it up, and this is what I found for my state. (I would think that working on a platform that is unreliable and defective, in addition to losing more than half of what I had been making, in addition to management's knowledge for several months now that the program doesn't work and refusal to fix it -- might fit into one of these categories).
VOLUNTARY QUIT
UC Law provides, in part, that a claimant shall be ineligible for benefits for any week in which his/her unemployment is due to voluntarily leaving work without cause of a necessitous and compelling nature. A claimant who voluntarily quits continuing work has the burden of proof in establishing good cause for quitting; and, that such cause was real and substantial, leaving the claimant no other alternative. The burden is on the claimant to show that, prior to quitting continuing employment, he/she made every reasonable effort to maintain the employer-employe relationship.
Following are examples of some common voluntary quit situations.
Due to unsuitable work - When an employe accepts a position, he/she admits to the initial suitability of the position with respect to its wages and the conditions of employment. When a claimant quits because he/she feels the job was unsuitable, the claimant must show there were changes in the conditions of employment, to which he/she did not agree upon, that made the job unsuitable, or there was deception on the part of the employer with regard to the conditions of employment at the time of hire, or he/she shall be considered ineligible. The suitability of the work will be determined by considering factors such as the degree of risk involved to the claimant's health, safety and morals; the claimant's physical fitness; the claimant's prior training and experience; the distance of the available work from the claimant's residence; the prevailing condition of the labor market; and the prevailing wage rates in the trade or occupation.
Job not the same as what was anticipated - To be eligible, the claimant must show that the monetary expectations of employment were not fulfilled through no fault of the claimant. For example, a claimant takes a job selling vacuum cleaners because he/she has been told he/she could make $50,000 per year through commission sales. After three weeks, the claimant quits the job because he/she was unable to make any sales and the personal expenses exceeded the income, thereby warranting the allowance of benefits.
I looked at it and don't thing that gives

I see 206 people have looked at
this post but not one commented back on a specific. Guess that means all is okay out here in MT land. Cuckoo. Cuckoo.
I looked in the Archives.
its in there.
Have you looked for work lately
Evidently you have not changes jobs lately, you are lucky to get 8 with tons of experience.
Exactly why the business is looked upon as
housewives doing not much of anything except just typing. I guess you put the above on your resume, huh, rearing children?
i looked at the article...
and it still does not clear up the line count issue for me at all. : (
I looked inside...
You are wrong on this one. There is no problem with a company requiring a certain number of lines from an IC. They cannot tell you which hours to work, but they can require a certain end result. Get it? Go back and read the IRS definition of an IC. 
duh, I never even looked at your moniker
I would ask for a different primary, but I'm not sure I would go into details with your liason at the risk of jeopardizing a good working relationship with him/her. Good luck.
Look again. I just looked at their website. SM
It states on the homepage in the first paragraph -- all Encompass employees reside in the United States.
Also states under Why Encompass? U.S. based transcriptionists -- never outsourced overseas.
OP said she looked in archives..
But I will take you up on that as I also thought of applying.
I have just looked at their benefits sm
I work for TT right now and the benefits, incentives, etc. are similar. I am very happy and comfy at TT and will stay there. Nothing worth switching for.
I saw that ad and looked suspicious to me.
Anytime there isn't a legit company name or phone number and/or town, makes me wonder. Maybe his name is Balla Honor;-) AKA no honor involved at all.
have you looked at the job board
Most you're lucky if you see 8 cpl. hmmmmm.... this business is going down the tubes quick....
Just had a friend tell me - was offered 5.00 per report for long dictations and 5 cpl for short ones, but need to work weekends as an IC - yeah right. Are we back in the 80s??????
I too looked hard
for awhile, and came up with nothing better or more promising. This is definitely a tough job market.
I just looked at Transcend's forum,
and I do not see these happy people who posted 2 messages today about how happy they are? Are you sure you work for the same Transcend I am refering to? I do not see all those posts you are referring to. I am looking for them now and do not see them--where are they??!!
Correction to my above post. I just looked
and I apologize. I had to wait until the 1st of the next month, not the 15th (maybe it just seemed longer) for that money to be in the bank. So for that payroll from the 1st until the 15th, I had to wait until the 1st (though the payroll was late). Guess all the waiting just seemed longer. That still is the longest I have had to wait for a payday. So when I quit, I also had the same thing. I just went through the paperwork.
In any event it SEEMED like a very long time and particularly with some of the paydays being late.
I do apologize as I certainly do not like to give incorrect info.
When you have kids though it does hurt. In other words, I started on the 1st of the month and first paycheck was not until the 1st of the next month except it was late.
Oops, just looked down the page a bit...
and noticed a comment in response to someone else, missed it the first time through. Good luck!
