TransTech does it too ... probably lots of them do. nm

Transtech in Houston has lots of VR work
You may have the option of working weekdays and rotate weekends, 1 one weekend per month. That is my deal but I have been here a while. Or you can work Sunday through Thursday.
Lots of promises, no follow through. Lots and lots of internal sm
problems. She is recruiting heavy right now as she has a CHANCE at getting a big account back. Even if they get it back, they'll blow it again from poor management.
I totally agree, your story is mine and lots, and lots of others, please
believe me when I say Keystrokes has been honest like we used to have in this profession. If I can help one Transcriptionist avoid what we have, this will all be worth it. I worked parttime for Keystrokes at the time I was fulltime with ____ and quit, 2 years later I begged them to take me back after once again my paycheck was cut in half, and they did with open arms. I don't mean to run down anyone but a lot of these transcription companies are getting obscenely rich while paying below minimum wage to transcriptionists, playing with dictation and after working for a couple of them you know who is honest and who is not. Sorry I came down so hard but the reality is there are single mothers out there that I bet cry themselves to sleep not able to give their children a decent life because it is easier to steal from us. When companies have millions of dollar to pay for other transcription companies, open transcription schools in other countries, ect., ect., you know there is a lot of money in it. That is all I am saying.
I don't think we work at the same place, but I have been working lots and lots of hours.
Very thankful to have a decent job.
Lots and lots of recent stuff in archives.
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!
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.
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.
Can anyone say if they still have Mandatory overtime??? nm

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 overtime would keep me FAR away from them. nm
s
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!
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
Mandatory extra hours?? How many?
nm
Some accts. might still be on the DOS software here. And mandatory OT
s
Mandatory Line Counts
Just call me toad breath! LOL
Lots and Lots of info about them in the archives. nm
Lots and lots of work. You will love

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.
Mandatory overtime's not gonna scare you away, huh? nm
s
Beware the Mandatory Overtime with them! Was discussed
s
There is still mandatory OT on some accounts on some days, just not every single day now.
x
No mandatory overtime on my team. In fact
work is low.
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!
I'm sure you'very read many posts about mandatory OT on this board.
nm
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

I have been down numerous hours this year due to storms. 3 times with mandatory
There are probably lots of MTs still down due to Katrina and Rita.
Don't believe weather can't impact your life in a big way. Be prepared to know what your options are with your job.
And the ability to hold mandatory meetings and not say a darn thing! nm
nm
Lots lots, cuz I prefer
the OP/PR notes over any report......
Call them. I have lots of work, had lots of work
during the holidays too. I don't know who routes the work, but one of the office people is on vacation this week. I occasionally have to call to get work depending on what hours I'm working, but I have never not gotten work when I've asked for it.
No. TransTech is out of Texas TTS is in New Hampshire. TransTech
s
Well I don't work for Transtech and this discussion isn't about Transtech...
and that is not age discrimination....give me a break...
lots of ESL
This company works on VA and other accounts. The accounts have LOTS of ESL MDs on them and they are HARD ESL MDs too....the accounts are truely not worth the pay!!
lots of ESL's do not do it
You will never get out of the program and a certain mentor will grade you only on ESLs and you will not get out.
Lots of changes still going on there.
//
lots of ESL...sm
They are a pretty good company to work for. Pay is on time. The only thing is all the ESLs...and different doctors every day....really messes up your production, as normals are impossible.
LOTS of ESL
ESL - Chinese, Indian, Russian, Hispanic, British and many really awful english speaking newbie residents in the process of training.
Yes, you can have (and may often need) the 12-hour window. Workload is not consistent, had to ask for secondaries before I was there 3 months; when OT is approved other people come charging on there and take all the work. Overstaffing appears to be a problem (though not a huge one yet).
I hope you can avoid the RadNet program, which atrocious and you are expected to be the unpaid go between for Webmedx techs and client techs, neither of which will own the problem. Main platform, Enterprise, is slow and often slower. Expect to have to drop what you're doing due to system freeze-ups and reboot a couple times a day.
The supe is very nice.
lots of lines on DQS
I've been on DQS about 2 months. I am averaging about 280 lph. I have been an MT for 1-1/2 years. I make use of InstantText and I set up a standard for almost every doc I come across. It can be done.
