Batch receive/send work?
Is there any company out there where you can download work in batches and send back transcribed reports in batches? I can only get dialup and it is too slow to do 1-3 jobs at a time. 30+ years experience, big 4 and Radiology, Medical and Radiation Oncology. I am currently employed in hospital radiology department but want to go back home. Hate this winter driving!!!
I receive an anonymous email from someone that had a friend go to work for them and it was bad news.
Glad I passed it up. It sounded awful, no communication and no work etc..
TT has just hired all these new people

Maybe that is why they hired so many people
?
Yeah. Unfortunately, I think they hired too many people.
And what's the deal with them getting freaked out if there's a little bit of work on the system? They like it down to NOTHING all the time and I don't think a LITTLE backlog hurts. I mean not even out of turnaround time or anything and they get freaked out or freak out over weekends when from past experience they should see the work ALWAYS gets cleaned out on the weekends.
I dunno....I'm used to doing some of my own accounts with hospitals and they have so much more of a backlog than MDI and they don't freak out over a little backlog.
If I get past all the people who say they get hired then don't hear anything
people complaining about the instability of work flow and constantly running out of work, and if I ingnore the fact that the company is expanding its operations in India by acquiring a facility to employee 5000 people offshore....wait, what was my point?
This happens over and over I think when a bunch of people get hired at once. Some places are better

Who said people who work for KS aren't happy for people who work for (sm)
other companies? I'm happy for people who are happy with their jobs, no matter what company they work for.
anyone get hired/work with TRX?
I had an interview with them last week, she said she'd get back to me with her decision, but never did. Wondering what its like to work there if they are so unprofessional as to not call back when they promise.
Just Hired - No Work!
Wouldn't jump ship and head to Webmedx. Been there 1 month and already out of work. Good thing I haven't quit my other part-time position!
I was hired by them but there is no work
nm
Hired over a month ago.... no work yet
Hired and then a month later trained and then weeks later NOTHIng. wHAT THE HECK IS going on???? i'm losing my mind here.
Was hired to work for them, but we never coordinated.
I was looking forward to it as they seem very nice and very up to date.
Yes they do on everyone, just hired, work for them, not hospital.(nm)

Huh? I work M-F. Asked for it when I hired in 1 yr ago. nm

QA is not hired to finish MT's work
It's for going over for quality, not finishing what an inept MT doesn't want to do. The MT is supposed to look things up and try to put out a perfect product. The line rate for QA is very low. The problem is that everyone wants to work from home, whether or not they are qualified.
As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.
For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
running out of work or did they get more accounts. I am interested in this company.
They are well aware there is no work and that they have over hired..they don't care....sm
as long as backlog is 0 they are happy. Good luck to you. I guess one more person couldn't make it any worse than it already is, but I hope you don't have a family to feed.
I was hired recently & they did not have enough work to train me.
I had never heard of such a thing before.
When I was hired, they asked me what work types I liked from sm
best to worst. I have progress notes last. I hate them but get a few every day-type them anyway. Wish I got more op notes but H&Ps and consults keep me real busy.
Anyone hired by Futurenet to work on the new SC account? SM
I might apply, just wanted some info, thanks.
Me too, just hired on, and already the account I am on had very little work over the weekend.
Hope this is just a fluke and its not like this daily.
I wanted to work for Keystrokes but she hired me a month ago
and then never followed through. I think that they are a great company, at least the friends I have that work there think so, but it seems that hiring is their weak spot. I should apply for that. I am organized and would never let someone slip through the cracks. I am going to call their office on Monday to be the squeaky wheel.
I was hired for 3rd shift and was told there was plenty of work
i was given 4 accts and still don't make money - that is all i am saying
Anyone who is hired for one work type only should make less money (IMO)

I work part time, got hired last month. nm
Was hired for a company that promised lots of work.
do they do this? I checked the archives on this company before accepting the position and although there were similar complaints along with disorganization and some others I decided to give it a try. In retrospect I should have listened to those posts. I'm out of work for the 4th time now, there's no communication. I don't know if my first clue something was amiss was the recruiter with her kids screaming in the background during the interview or the vague answers to questions I had clearing indicating there no transcription experience on her end. Why do companies do this. I have bills to pay and I always, always address this situation - is there enough work, do you run out of work often. I know there are times when work may be low but this consistently happening.
I think it depends on experience, account hired for, etc. I was hired at .08 per line sm
but after 90 days went to 0.085 and then 0.09 about 90 days after that. I am now at 0.0925 and have been there a year. I have to point out that the line rate might not be the highest but I can verify my counts, have plenty of work, get paid on time and have a great manager. To me, leaving a bad national and the headaches that went with it was well worth the cut in pay I took. Funny thing is that I took a pretty sizable pay cut but make more money ?!?!
If your hired at an hourly rate and you run out of work, then you dont get paid anything??
Just saying, you worked a total of 3 hours one day, ran out of work for two hours, then for that day you only get paid 3 hours? That would suck and it wont pay my bills.
You will be hired fast and then wait weeks or months for work...SM
You may be asked to invest in expensive equipment, likely to run out of work regularly and not have your calls returned when you try to contact them. They do pay well but the work is NOT there more than it is, so great pay doesn't mean much. They sell it to you great but they don't deliver.
I agree they have WAY over hired, but I am required to work my schedule..you got it made then!
I wasn't hired for 1 work type, but told them I like OPs so that is what I am assigned. When I r
out of ops, I usually stop unless we are out of TAT on other jobs because I do not want to take other people's work. I do not think I should get paid less for that.
Just because someone does not receive
their paystub, does not mean it was not sent. With the banks being closed, if funds were sent and missed the deadline, it would be the next business day before it is posted. I always get my paystub the day AFTER deposit.
Didn't receive it either...
I'm not directing this question to you but just wondering why some of us receive these E-mails and some of us do not? Does it matter what account you're on?
You should receive it Saturday. Sometimes
xx
Anyone receive their Medscribe (FL) W2 yet?
zz
Anyone from Spheris receive theirs?

I did some overflow work for Landmark.. they are wonderful to work for.. very nice people.. pay was
.
There is NO work at Transtech. Maybe they just choose special people to send work to
df
Great people to work for, but I had to leave due to lack of work. Hopefully that has changed. SM
Most of us who do not live in California had to go IC. When I was there, they did not have statutory status, although they told me they did when they hired me. Their pay for VR is VERY low, not a living wage. Many of the folks in the office are ex-YOG and great to work for/with. Good luck.
Did anyone receive a phone call yet
or is this all speculation???
MTs don't stay long enough to receive anything
NMN
Sorry, I didnt receive an email. Could you try again. nm
:
They receive money from companies
xx
did not receive yahoo request sm
can you resend it as I did not get it. You have my yahoo email there right? I will be back in about 2 hours adn will check for it again then. thanks so much!!
How can you receive an email form your
company if your email is not typed exactly right? It will never be delivered into your inbox, but will go right back to the company, as 'not able to deliver.'
I know two people who work 3rd shift for Keystrokes on radiology and have a lot of work. Maybe you
on an account that has enough work. I hate to hear that someone doesn't have enough work or that they have a problem because I know that Keystrokes works to find the right account for every person. They do a lot for us but you have to talk to them until you find the right account or volume or hours for you.
I think that a lot of companies are that way but there is a lot of job-hopping in transcription. Everyone is looking for the perfect job but the grass is not always greener on the other side. There are a few MTSO's really are not good but for the most part, the others don't intentionally drive people away. That would not make sense. They need us to work as much as we need them to have the work there for us.
Obviously you don't receive the crappy quality of drafts...sm
that I see all day long on this system. They claim that it learns but it doesn't, because my coworkers and I make the same corrections over and over again to the same things.
I heard everyone should receive them by 10/7. Still waiting on mine.

What companies acknowledge MT week and, if so, what do you receive? nm
