Sorry for the confusion
I don't work for FN. Just thought they were asking about what rad MTs make in general. I work for a hospital, and no we are never out of work, but if that were to ever be the case, we would make our downtime rate.
There seems to be name confusion. Does TTS
stand for something?
Name confusion
There is definitely some name confusion going on here. TT and TTS are two different companies. I think a lot of people are getting the two confused. TT as far as I have heard is a great company to work for. TTS is the one to run far far away from.
There seems to be a lot of confusion there. SM
At least, more so than usual and many of us have a sick feeling that something is going to happen and it will not be good.
I would not encourage anyone to join the company, at this point. This uneasiness may be going on at other companies, it may be sign of the times concerning MT, but it is very strong at Spheris.
confusion
In the next few months, when I move, I may switch from working in hospital setting to working at home. I have been doing Radiology, Radiation therapy, EEG's for 16 years. Questions: what are the acute care four basics, and could radiology be one of them? Also, at hospitals we go by minutes. Unsure of how much I type that would be judged by lines. Any people here, or companies, strictly Radiology?
SPI confusion
How do they announce these things to employees? I've been with them 1-1/2 years and the branch I work for never seems to be affected by all the turmoil I hear about. I know there was a managers' conference in Nashville a couple of weeks ago but my supervisor has not sent out any layoff announcements or other bad news thus far. If you get laid off officially, can you qualify for unemployment? Thanks.
SPI confusion
The only email I got last week was one advising that we'd all be paid on the same Fridays, instead of some MTs being paid on the alternate Fridays, and how to make the switch regarding our production sheets. SPI is also running 2 ads in Advance magazine for new MTs. The hiring versus layoffs issue is confusing to me!
Confusion
The tech left me 2 messages as well, but I was not here. I was going to take the job, but I could not touch base. Then, the new recruiter (they just changed their HR department) contacted me and we worked things out. She e mailed me all the forms, which maybe you need now. If you want the job, just go ahead and call and ask for the new recruiter.. I am sure they will put you through. Good Luck, it will all work out!
No - it was not yours. Sorry for the confusion.
Must have been deleted. Sorry for the confusion, it does look like I was talking to you, but I wasn't ;-)
Sorry for confusion!
I worked for KS at home on Son's XP because the account (acute care not radiology) required it as Vista was not compatible. It was a Clinic in Ohio. Since I'm in the office at a major hospital I cannot work FT for KS.
MQ packet confusion
I also live in NE and I have not received my PACKET let alone the pre-packet phone call. What is going on here?
Confusion..TT/exText???sm
Now it seems there are a lot of good postings regarding TT..but what is this about the deduction for headers/footers? Is that a TT thing. I have applied to TT (not heard back yet) but I have never seen a co. deduct for head/footers....this seems quite unreasonable...it should either be included in the count or not...now I'm scared. Please clear this up if you can.
Sorry bout the confusion -- DSG-- nm

Correction - sorry for confusion
I apologize for not checking this before -- I just found a problem with my suggestion, so here's the deal:
You are better off forcing the format - as you did to h:mm:ss (or hh:mm:ss), to ensure that all cells display consistently. This does force you to have to enter more digits for hours though.
There is a shortcut for entering data -- for 00:05:12 (5 minutes, 12 seconds), you can type: 0:5:12
For 00:05:01 you can type 0:5:1
This may be more foreign than just adding the extra leading zero, but if you're hyper about cutting every keystroke, you can....
Then when you add down a column, there's nothing special to do in the sum.
Sorry for any confusion.
Not confusion to me - I like the variety
No confusion to those of us that actually read the post!
Thanks for clarification :-)
New to Transcend, holiday confusion. sm
Am I expected to either work Thanksgiving or Christmas and do not automatically get these holidays off? I am not able to get the lines to qualify for PTO, and so do not care about not getting holiday pay, but I am now wondering whether I even get these 2 holidays off. TIA!
I would leave MQ off, there has been a big change in the last few months. Too much confusion. nm

Allstate
Does anybody know anything about this company? I've seen several ads and saw a post elsewhere where the MTSO had several errors in her post. I am curious as to the quality of work and whether or not they pay on time. The MTSO, besides her errors, sounded like a very nice person and I would like part-time with someone less than a tyrant. Thanks in advance. 
Allstate
Thank you.
allstate
I have tried that. Why am I still not getting anything?? I tried allstate,
allstate Transcription, allstatetranscription. Give me a clue!
allstate
as soon as I posted my response about not finding anything a whole bunch came up after my last post without me having to put it in the search engine. Why does that happen??
allstate
Have read a lot of good things but I did not have a good experience.
Allstate
Great company to work for. Their pay is very competitive and was matched from my previous job. They use eScription software called EditScript. It is one of the best platforms I have ever used. The owner is extremely nice and easy to work with. I would recommend Allstate highly!
Allstate
I work for Allstate and I can assure you all those posts were made by real people who work for Allstate. Allstate is a great company to work for, plain and simple.
Allstate
I too work for Allstate. I worked with the owner before she started her company and then when she got established and had enough work available I went to her for a position. She encourages communication between all MT’s whether QA, intern or IC and even gives them a forum to do so. She usually communicates daily with everyone. She offers everyone who works with her every conceivable resource. She is available to everyone who works for her practically 24 hours a day. The 2 companies I worked for prior to working for her did not offer the communication, the resources or even the availability the way she does. I would not consider working anywhere else. Administrator, check my IP address.
Allstate
I also love working for Allstate. The owner is fantastic, extremely flexible, as well as friendly. She works with the motto, as I do, that you learn something new every day, and we generally discuss issues. It is wonderful working with her. There is always work, and if your account runs out, there are backups. We are like a family here, and I really mean that!!! Compensation has been on time and is consistent with what I have made at prior places of employment.
I would definitely give them a chance, I am so glad I did.  This has been so unlike other jobs I have had in the past, and in fact, the only thing that reminds me that it is a job is my paycheck!
Allstate QA
Anyone do QA for Allstate and not just MT? Interested in to know your experience.
Allstate
I am a former mentor of Allstate. Deb owes me almost $1000 (this is for 2-1/2 months work) When I gave my notice, my accounts were locked immediately and I was unable to get my line counts to send invoices. In fact, I couldn't even edit my interns documents. Then when decided not to give a 2 week notice since I was told I would be put on probation if I stayed, I was told that I forfeited all of my earnings because I signed an IC contract. Don't be stupid. If you are an experienced MT, stay far away and go to a hospital which is where I previously worked. I regret my decision to leave there, (due to health issues) because I was always treated fairly and paid well and on time bi-weekly, with benefits. If you are thinking about paying 99.00 to sign up for the intern program, big mistake, because if you have already graduated from an MT program, hospitals will hire you to work without you paying them (and the hospital sometimes even pays you a salary to boot, even though it is lower than a seasoned MT)
I am posting this because I am a genuinely honest (and yes Christian) person and I should have known better, especially when she didn't even bother testing me. I don't want others to be fooled by this so called "Christian" organization. When you get paid, it will take 2 or 3 months and if you decide you can't afford to work there and quit, you don't get paid period.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL!
allstate
I feel for you. I have dealt with Deb and she is a real psycho. Plus she subcontracts for Proveros who are Indian owned.
Deb at allstate
Yep. that's her. That's how I got suckered in. she will tell lies and sob storied about her daughter too. She is evil. pure and simple. She is a thief plain and simple.
Allstate / Deb
Whoa! I thought this was a place to give/get information between MTs, instead of people trying to make trouble for others!I really hate to see people posting without facts, so had to add my 2cents here! I have to doubt that all/any of the information starting this post is true, since there haven't been any posts like this or close to it about the Allstate company or owner before this (and shouldn't we all have noticed that right off, not just a couple of us?). I was glad to see someone mentioned that the owner is NOT named Deb B, (and hope whoever posted the information on that person will find where they were actually from and correct it, so that it will not harm the Deb that owns Allstate)- I don't believe this site was set up to be used for revenge, being nasty, etc. as some people seem bent on being in this instance (after reading all the posts). At any rate, I hope MT Stars owners will see this and do what they can to prevent this kind of thing from happening again so that we can go back to finding real and factual information as we have been.
AllState
I completed the program at the beginning of the year and got a job somewhere else. I still have yet to see my certificate. The owner can be an extremely rude person. I spoke to her on the phone (for an unrelated issue) once and regret it to this day.
While I'm glad I did the mentorship because I don't think I would have been able to get a job without out it, it is unfortunate how unprofessional some people can be.
Allstate
Jody: Sorry. I had an awful experience with Allstate, but did not get to the money part. What can you do now? Try the attorney general. They offered me a job and then wanted to give me 6 cpl based on my scores. I ended up with an e-mail war with this human resource person until I finally blocked her. She was miserable. They are completely disreputable. Do what you can to get your money back.
Allstate Transcription
 I just wanted to let everyone know that I think that Deb at Allstate Transcription is Wonderful. She goes out of her way for others all the time. She does a wonderful AIM program as to where you can be hired to her company but if you slack at all than you can loose that privilege and believe me she is very easy going and works hard to make sure that you understand everything and that you don't fall out of the program. She is the first company that actually works with me instead of just saying you did all this wrong your fired. She helps you out ALL the time, it doesn't matter what time of the day it is. I give Allstate Transcription an A+A+A+A+...
Allstate Transcriptioni
I have been an intern with Allstate Transcription for the past few months. I have learned way more with Deb than I did in class. I spent $2000 trying to learn MT and spent $0 with Deb and have learned a lot! I really think you should resend your nasty gram as she really does not deserve this.
ALLSTATE TRANSCRIPTION
As a fellow MTSO owner, it sounds to me like you were given a chance to improve your work much longer than other MTSOs would have and you still blew it. The owner of ALLSTATE TRANSCRIPTION is a very reliable, honest and fair person. If you are no longer employed through them it's probably because you were endangering the status of the account you were working on. Take a serious look at your work quality and be truthful with yourself. I have worked with the owner of ALLSTATE for many many years. There is NO WAY your statements are based on fact.
Questions about Allstate
I'd be happy to let you talk to any of my interns and/or MT/QA staff -- or even fellow MTSOs that I've known for many years -- so that you can get a true and unbiased answer to any questions you might have. Please also visit our forum (link can be found at our website) and read some of the comments they MTs/interns have posted there.
allstate transcription

Allstate Transciption
Would like to hear from anyone who has completed the internship program offered by Allstate..... good or bad
Allstate Transcription
Anyone have any info on Allstate Transcription. What is their pay for standard typing as well as VR/SR, how is communication, software, etc. TIA!!
Allstate Transcription/AIM
Anyone ever heard of Allstate Transcription? I applied there and was emailed that I would need to go through a mentor program with AIM in which I needed to pay $99.00.......hubby says he doesn't like the idea of paying for mentoring....anyone know if this is scam? I am desperate to find MT job and things not looking good so far....70+ applications and not one bite.....
HELP!!!!!
Sneaser 
Allstate Transcription does... sm
They are hiring now too.
no allstate referrals
Thanks for the warning. I teach a transcription class and was almost going to have 8 MTs sign up and pay the 99.00. whew I'm glad you told us about this shameful woman and her shameful company and her despicable ways. I will refer my graduates elsewhere but no to her company where she is an MTSO for Proveros.
Allstate does....Chartiscript...nm
aa
Allstate Transcription....sm
Does anyone know what happened to Allstate Transcription? I saw on the New MTs board that they went out of business. Someone actually bought them out I think. Does anyone know what happened or why? I used to work there up until a few months back, and I also did the AIM intern program. I am just curious if Deb is working for another company now or did she go out of MT altogether. I am really surprised.
Actually, I think you are referring to the Allstate ad for a mentor rather than
the sales position advertised by a David Bernard. I agree, the rate Allstate wants to pay a mentor is appalling. It's probably to mentor offshore MTs at that!
In info on Allstate Transcription? nm
Allstate is definitely an exception to that rule
I know who each of those persons were that posted. I also know that Allstate believes in their ICs working as a team and helping each other. There are no secrets -- in fact, just the opposite. Interactions amongst MTs and QAs is encouraged. Names, email addresses and phone numbers are openly shared (with permission) if it means making help more readily available to other MTs when they need it. Everyone on the company is provided a direct number to reach even the owner/CEO at any time. And by the way, yes all those MTs do work for Allstate, and no they are NOT the same person. I know all of them.
Allstate DOES do direct deposit...
Paypay is merely an OPTION if you choose to be paid that way, just as having your check mailed is...and sent via either snail mail or Priority Mail. Allstate has had direct deposit for quite a while now, but did not have it in 2006 when the original post was made.
Anyone work for Allstate Transcription?
If so, I have a question for you guys if you don't mind getting a PM. I need some help.
