They don't pay production incentive?
The hospital I used to work for did. We had one gal who could type double what the rest of us could, so she got more pay. She used to work part-time for a national, too, because she could never find a national with benefits comparable to the hospital. I don't think you're going to find a national with decent benefits. You also run into their lousy platforms affecting production, low pay, demo screens, ESLs, poor sound quality, etc. I wish I had stayed at my hospital. I thought I could make more working for a national but I haven't been able to yet. Chalk that up to another stupid career decision on my part.
Do either offer production incentive?
nm
Hmm, funny, I have production incentive on MY check!
nm
Production bonus/incentive escription?
Anyone know of companies who offer those?
Transcend no longer offers production incentive. Gone.

I know it's a production-based incentive and tiered but I cannot remember the specifics, get with
your recruiter and she can go over it in detail. There is no shift differential or weekend differential of which I am aware, it is all based on production.
Very good company. Incentive pay for production plus shift and weekend differentials. sm
Their platform is stable (proprietary, I've been on it for about a year and a half now). Pay is always on time. Good support staff. Their insurance changed this year. Plenty of work. They don't overhire on their accounts from what I can see. If anything, there is always plenty of work, which I like because I can hop on outside of my regular shift and get some more lines. Now that they pay extra for weekends, I like to pick up some extra hours then.
Easy platform, PTO if you are employee, production incentive, direct deposit, work flow varies on
different accounts, but usually have enough to keep busy, lots of QA feedback.
meaning
It is Latin and means "without delay", or "immediately."
meaning??
??? not clear on that.
Different take on the meaning of this
If your testing did not qualify you did it ever occur to you that you did too well? Perhaps you did ace the test as you believe (I do not doubt your feelings at all), but that would mean they would have to give you top dollar, and they don't want to hire someone like that right now, or ever. Don't know this company, but I have been through this. But I go one step further. I always am flexible with my cpl rate in the cover letter, and so when I ace a test like you did they do get back to me. But, I have been offered 6.5 to 7 c/line, no kidding. Then, I say no. What do they think flexible means? Stupid! Yes. They think I am stupid so offer me a job. They know you are not stupid because you aced the test, so they say you are not qualified for their low pay scale. That is just IMHO. Sorry to take the opposite position from the other poster who says you are not as good as you think. Since this person does not know you or your skills, I think that comment may be way off base. So, don't let these things ruin your day. Count it as a blessing and find a decent place who will appreciate you. IMHO. Good luck!
Meaning and substance???
If you are an editor, you will soon be out of work. What exactly do you mean when you say 'meaning' and 'substance'?
Meaning, you are not getting 1000....
which I thought was the requirement. I have a friend who tried them out and went days without work.
Meaning you don't get paid for it
:(
Ah, but you miss my meaning.
If she does not know that a lot is two separate words, I can only imagine the other kinds of errors that she makes. That is so very basic. I am not jealous of someone who does not know that a lot is two separate words. I am not QA and I don't work for TT and I am not policing anything. I am just really, really tired of the seeing ALOT and other inexcusable errors from people as they are bragging about their awesome quality-oriented companies that hired them. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is tired of it.
Not meaning to argue...
but they DID lie. They initially told me that typing was not required. Just as they will review what I type, they could allow me to QA and review what I have QA'd. Very simple.
Whatever their reasons are for requiring this - they should be honest and tell the folks to whom they make an offer that typing is required.
meaning of initials
rolling on floor laughing my butt off ROFLMBO
Thank You all and I wasn't meaning ESL accent...
I was meaning ESL who can't speak English, but make up their own form of Americanese language (broken up/half-English)i.e. physical thrappy for physical therapy and palawong is echocardiogram, therefore the whole report is a big fat blank because I still couldn't figure out how palawong sounded echocardiogram. Thank MT@diskriter, I will give Diskriter a try and I hope to get 2 accounts and stay on those 2 accounts besides rotating accounts 4 or 5 times a week. The downtime sounds like some good insurance. Last job work 2 hours and had no work so I would sit and baby-sit the computer catching job here and there for about 19 hours for 600 lines due to no work and no pay. Thanks again all.
" FOR NOW "... 2 small words with a very big meaning. nm

If the error changes meaning of the report
Because that's dangerous. It should be something that almost never happens though.
Meaning I sure hope the above poster
isn't a manager at Ax. That is what I meant. Obviously they must work there because they are aware of e mails.
Well, I really wasn't meaning to imply that something ... SM
was wrong with the line counts. Just for some reason, I have a very difficult time making my lines. Yes, what I am typing for the day definitely has something to do with it. I feel that the fact that I get reports from 2 different accounts mixed in with each other also is not conducive to speed. But I really brought this up, just kind of thinking out loud, that I wonder if the fact that it is a good company outweighs the fact that I am not making any money! That's what I'm trying to resolve in my own mind.
meaning that some accounts have assigned doctors...
nm
She is meaning you will see lazy MTs while doing QA that no longer care
nm
and do you mean "THEY" meaning DeVenture or in general?
If in general, that's nothing new. If you mean DeVenture, then I'm glad I got turned down.
SC meaning SE (statutory employee) and or IC contractor.
Still looking for help on employee positions with no VR which are good. Thanks.
So, Yes, they were once OmniMed, meaning the same people. Thought so! BAD company! x

No we won't. I said slow, meaning slower than usual, should have clarified.
.
I understand!! Really, it doesn't change the meaning or context and
it is not a medical error, so why are they wasting their time on such trivial things. I call it trivial, because in my opinion, it is.
QA is for editing and correcting gross medical errors and errors that truly change the meaning and context of the document. Some QA folks are ridiculous and feel the need to be important.
I have always ignored those types of corrections. Now, if I made a big boo-boo, I would pay attention to the feedback.
You're right! Hahaha My typo totally messed up the meaning!
Yes, MQ is aware of my other position. I was very up front with them when I took their offer. Spheris probably would not be happy about my situation, I agree.
My other comments were made because no matter what I post, someone has got to be interested in what I'm doing or not doing, whether they think it is right or not, etc.
My whole post on this thread was an answer about great companies. I posted. Then, if you'll go back and look at this entire thread, I am the one getting all the virtual "you can't do that" complainers on my back.
It's not anyone else's business. One of the OPs started it I suppose with the trying to tell me I can't post on this forum because I work for Spheris and I can't use their computer. Then others chime in. Then others start in with what they think I can and cannot do.
It's none of anyone's business. I wasn't addressing any of those subjects whatsoever.
I seem to be prime fuel for the flaming activities, regardless of the subject of my posts. Even if I respond to others, 9 times out of 10 I get flamed and for other subject matter most of those times.
Hahaha, you are right in your answers to some of the other posters. You and I are having an adult conversation and understanding each other well, even if we disagree. THAT is how it should be.
As I answered you somewhere in this same thread, I understand what you were bringing to light for others who may not realize about working for more than 1 company. It is a gamble. I agree wholeheartedly.
It isn't just the competition between Spheris and MQ though. That expectation is with other companies as well, maybe not all, but most. And most, if you read the employee handbook imply that they do not want their employees on forums like this.
One of the OPs stated that I signed a contract with Spheris forbidding me to be on this forum. No ma'am. That simply isn't true. I went back and looked at everything I've signed. I've signed no such contract. There may be an implied policy but I have not signed any such contract.
I personally think that each company has really good aspects. I can also see where each could improve. That will be with any company though. As long as I am well paid and have flexibility and opportunity, I'm a happy clam.
What is MQ considering overtime? sm
Is it anything over 39 hours? Or if you are PT is it anything over what you have committed to work (ie 16 hours a week?).
Anything over 40 is overtime
must be approved. Same as when I worked for a VERY large company, it's time and a half but must be approved. MedScribe does not limit the number of lines you can type but if you work on your day off you have to email first.
Overtime
Yes, we have been on mandatory overtime for many months. The money is always nice, but it does wear you out.
overtime
How much mandatory OT for the part-time employees? I already work full time.
Overtime
They require at least 1 hour per day.
Overtime
This thread in the Transtech bashing is by far the most ridiculous I have seen to date. It is just as ridiculous as a Wal-Mart employee saying, hey I need to make some extra bucks, I'm going to put in some overtime. Think they would pay for unauthorized overtime? For those who are so unhappy at TT, why don't you spend the time you spend on these message boards sharpening up your resume and go somewhere where you can be happy and leave the rest of us alone? As a TT employee myself, I would never dream of just deciding I wanted to put in overtime and then expect the company to pay for overtime whether it was justified or not. And justification of overtime is NOT that you can't get the required lines in your allotted hours!! Perhaps if the collective we stayed off these boards and actually applied ourselves to working, we wouldn't have to worry about putting in overtime either on or off the clock!! Go ahead and report your whines to the labor board, you won't get anything but do remember you can't throw mud without getting mud on yourself.
I don't get overtime either
What I've been told is it all works out in the end. I get paid if I don't have any work on a given day and I get paid if I finish my work in less than 8 hours, then again there are times when I work extra hours to finish up my work when it's a particularly busy week. This week is very slow so I've actually only worked six hours the past four days but I still get paid for a 40 hour week.
It's not actually overtime - sm
When we work the 3 holidays for MDI-MD they are generally on a regular work day, so we are not working overtime so to speak, only our regular committed number of lines. I consider working 3 holidays to be fair in exchange for having the other 3 holidays off. Workloads on holidays are generally pretty light anyway, and you have the whole 24-hour day to get your lines done, so you can work around your personal needs for the day.
I've being doing a lot of overtime and have been on -
nm
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.
no, getting overtime 2 weeks out of 4.
nm
Better ask if they still have mandated OVERtime!! nm
s
Can anyone say if they still have Mandatory overtime??? nm
s
Mandatory overtime would keep me FAR away from them. nm

I put in 5 hrs. of overtime last week, and
 That's the last time I bust my butt for nothing but chump change! I could make more standing on a street corner with a cardboard sign...........
be grateful you actually have overtime
I'd give anything to be paid for overtime at my job - I get the same base hourly rate, regardless of how many hours I work, so be happy you have the opportunity to make extra instead of complaining about it.
You do understand, don't you, that Ƌ hrs.' overtime
a lot more than that in actuality. We're paid by the line, not the hour. We can only put so many hrs. on our time logs based on how much lines we type. So in order to get '5 hours' worth' of lines, I had to work roughly 10 extra hours, over and above what I normally work.
Sorry if I didn't make it entirely clear. But that IS chump-change, and I was a chump for working my @$$ off all night for it.
So, how does it work into overtime?
Since you have all the facts, please explain.
I can work all I want, but don't get paid overtime. I don't
have to clock in so I don't know how they would know how many hours I worked anyway.
a question about overtime and the legality of this...
I am an hourly employee. How can a company get away with not paying time and 1/2 for OT ?? just paying however many hours worked as hourly pay? i am fearful of losing my job to even ask them but i've been with them for 5 years now with no OT pay
Overtime out my ears at WebMedX (sm)
I get 9 cents a line and there's a tiered incentive plan. It's something like 150-160 lph they add 0.5, 160-170 lph they add 0.75. The top is 300 lph, where they add 2 cpl. I've consistently earned the top incentive pay, making great money.
I was a little worried the work would get low when I saw all the ads lately, but maybe the ads are because they got new accounts. It gets maybe a teensy bit light around the holidays (like 5 minutes without work). I have tons of backup accounts and almost every day I have the opportunity for overtime.
I'm a FT employee with benefits. I'd rather have someone else take care of finding accounts, setting up benefits, etc. Couldn't be happier, really.
