True, plus the suck rats always
seemed to love the conference calls and tried to jump in with all kinds of stupid questions, I guess to try and make themselves look like enthusiastic eager beavers. All they did was prolong the agony of the call. I really like working independently.
You might wanna look down a ways. BrokeMT can't seem to get paid by them.
I'm pretty sure she is not going to recommend them.
It goes two ways. MTs have to turn their line counts in on time and
in the format they are supposed to, not 4 days after the fact, not with mistakes that they find after the fact. There has to be accountability both ways.
Amphion doesn't run out and if they do, you get paid!!! nm

OSi with part time health insurance and paid time off
OSi does offer health insurance and paid time off for part time. Yes, there have been changes. Yes, there will probably be more changes. I don't see anywhere that hasn't had changes. If they don't change they will be out of business the way the economy is these days, just like some other companies. If they don't make money, then I don't make money. So, what is so different with OSi compared to other companies? I see complaints constantly about all companies. I don't think it is the fault of the company that they outsource or use voice recognition. It just is life on life's terms these days. There is still enough work for us, at least for me. 
Is it still being paid on time if you are paid on the 1st and 15th.....
and if the 15th falls on a Saturday getting paid on the 17th? My bank is open and posts on Saturday that means I am not being paid on the 15th doesn't? This has happened a lot lately.
Ugh - well I did all my work on time and I expect to be paid on time.
The phone company doesn't wait, the cable company doesn't wait, and the electric company doesn't wait for their money either - all of which I need to pay in order to do my job. I work when I am supposed to, I help when behind, and give 110%, and I ask for my check to be on time.
I think if an MTSO is going to have to mail checks they should do so priority to make up for the delay.
Sounds to go to be true; it probably is. I have been had before by a similar ad and never got paid
Beware
Not true. I believe TransTech either offers paid maternity leave or is about to.
s
TT has paid maternity leave? Sounds too good to be true..
Just wondering if anyone has used this paid maternity benefit? Is there a catch? This is such a rare benefit now days it just seems too good to be true.
Nope. I have gotten paid on time every time.
You must be thinking of somewhere else.
This is not true. I have been there a month and get a good line rate and paid for spaces. ??? nm

Any long-time Amphion MTs out there? HELP!
Where's the work?!? I'm hoping to get some straight answers from some other MTs (i.e., not management). I'm a newbie (less than 2 months) who was hired to be full time and for the 4th week straight I'm lucky to get 4 or 5 hours a day! They keep saying it will get better but I'm getting less work than ever! Has anyone else experienced this? How long were you all on mandatory overtime before the workload suddenly plummeted? I decided to work here because everyone on the message boards said how great Amphion was and how there was always tons of work and the people were so wonderful. Yeah, the people are great and nice and professional and everything, but sadly that is not going to pay my bills next month. Maybe I should look for a 2nd part-time job to complement this one!!
I just joined Amphion. It's only part-time for now, but
I did this to save my sanity and to make a little extra money. It seems to have the best press. If they are as good as they seem to be, I'll be thrilled to join on full time.
I am curious about that Bayshore software at MDI-MD, tho!
Can anyone tell me Amphion's line rate for full time?
I looked through the archives but could only find 6000 for part time.
Thanks
Are there any companies besides Amphion that hire part-time
I need a company that allows you to make your lines without demanding that you be on from this second to that second. If it's part-time it's obviously because you have other things to do and your life doesn't revolve around a set schedule. If I can get my work done at 3AM so why would that bother anybody?
Is there a company that doesn't mind when you work as long as you meet your quota and are accurate?
Does anyone know the minimum lines required part time for Amphion? Thanks. nm
n
I work at AMphion part-time and make as much there in 20 hours as I do at my FT job in 40
.
May I ask if not getting paid on TIME
x
Always paid on time....sm
Nice folks to work for - small agency. When I was with them, they paid weekly (never late). The problem I had was that they would assign new accounts or new doctors to you without notifying you first.
Not paid on time
The only negative I have heard about this company is that they DO NOT pay their MTs on time. MTs are having to BEG for their paycheck, which is not professional at all!
Never - always get paid on time

paid on time
If you want paid on time, health insurance, PTO, good feedback, please come to work for Keystrokes. I started in January and would not leave to go anywhere else. The company is hiring now and needs basic 4 MTs. I'll get off my soapbox now. Thanks.
Because we don't get paid for down time
they would have to mark the hours as not working and thus not getting paid.
Paid time off
Welcome to the real world!!! If you are low man on the totem pole do NOT expect T-day or Xmas off -- those holidays truly belong to the MTs whom have been with the company for years. You can't even be expected to work outside in the corporate world and have a 2 week paid vacation after a year !
So very true and I think sad at the same time...Nuff said...nm
nm
That's so true. Sometimes I spend a lot of time (sm)
looking up old reports, more than I would like; but I want to put out a good report, not a piece of crap. I want to be proud of my work which I am.
So true--Big waste of time.
You are so right--And it doesnt make one bit of difference whether QA is paid to find errors or not. The back-and-forth nit-picking, petty, so-called corrections that are usually just personal preferences is exhausting, demoralizing, and a big waste of time (which equals money) for the MT.
I work them now..always been paid on time
and the changes that might be coming
I'm the OP..again, I've always been paid on time
I'm wondering about these several accounts going with speech recognition (many accounts that I have worked on), and what that will mean for us in the long-term.
PAID DOWN TIME by Diskriter - sm
Who are they kidding? I have to agree with the above poster, Diskriter does make Medquist look like a wonderful company. IT EVEN MAKES Spheris LOOK GOOD!
By the way, when did Diskriter start hiring PT????
I do not get 3-4 months paid time off
every year. I do work 50 out of 52 weeks.
Paid on time, but not good.

I always got paid on time at Nicholas..sm
I think there were possibly a couple of times where it was 2-3 days late, but she always let us know what was going on ... she's a nice lady to work for, friendly and flexible.
Biggest drawback for me was pay was only 7 cpl at the time (about 4-5 years ago), and there was slight disorganization due to rapid growth. New tech issues, specs, staff changes, etc. Decent dictators, though, and I liked working there. I left due to the pay.
All that being said, I now have my own MT service, and I personally do not agree with paying ICs when an MTSO gets paid. I consider that a business expense like any other, and I allow for and recoup those costs from the clients accordingly. An MTSO's collection issues/methods should not be the IC's problem, IMO. I believe an IC has the right to expect regular payment for services rendered.
If you can accept the payment arrangement knowing there MIGHT be times you'll have to wait, it's a nice place to work, though.
Got paid, but once again not for all my lines. Third time in a row
I have been shorted. I'm done.
Cindy always paid me on time...
When I was there earlier this summer she paid once a week with a 1-week holdback (so you should get your first check in a couple weeks).
I have worked for her twice...for a while in 2007 and a while in 2008 and never had a problem with pay. In fact, her line counts usually came out higher than mine.
Good luck, I hope you like your job there.
An IC should not expect to be paid on time!
Then, the MTSO should not be expected to get her labor provided either. My goodness! What nerve! Good luck to you in recovering your much-deserved pay!
There is no paid PTO or sick time.
They still have not provided the *'much more to come'* benefits. I have the most sour and unhelpful team lead. Just about any company would be better than Focus.
But, have you always been paid, and in time for bills
Are they dependable, and good income, really need to know. If the paper check is dependable, that would be okay, but really need to know specifics on reliability of pay, company, etc. Thanks again.
Are you paid for your time to look up names, etc? nm

Amphion hires part-time - they're very strict schedule-wise though
Since part time is so hard to find these days your options are limited, so if you don't mind working for a company that is a stickler for strict schedule adherence, I say try Amphion.
TransTech, some MedWare accts., Amphion, Commonwealth (in CT.), Charts in Time, Focus. nm

AND I SUPPOSE YOU GOT PAID ON TIME LAST PAY PERIOD? NM
X
Can you elaborate? Do you get paid on time? Do you have enough work? sm
Are you radiology or acute care? What kind of problems?
How do MTs get paid if it is not on time sheet. Are they just working to keep
p
In the past 4 years I have always been paid on time
x
P.S. I am full-time too and they have paid holidays. (nm)
x
Above post asks do you get paid for your TIME to
x
Umm, I am paid every other Friday, on time. Work
x
They have NO paid sick or vacation time
You will likely not find any full timers who are happy there.
Ouch. This hurts but it's so true. It might be time to step
I think it might be time to give up some benefits in exchange for someone who knows what I look like and treats me mostly like I'm a human being. I'm so discouraged.
