In Reply to:
your 12-hour window due to running out of work, are you required to make up those hours outside of your 12-hour window? Will they take away your benefits if you can't get 35-40 hours consistently due to work running out? Thanks!

Webmedx PTO rate of 1.08 hours per payperiod and only for Full-time Employees
Webmedx only gives PTO and insurance to full-time employees. No PTO for the first 3 months, then something like 1.08 hours per pay period, starting at 0. If they run out of work or your ISP goes down or your child gets sick and you cannot get in the full 35 hours to qualify for full-time, they want you to use your PTO to make sure your hours add up to 35 that week. If you fall below 35 hours for 3 months in a row, no matter what the reason, they automatically drop you to part-time and take away your insurance. Then, you have to work a minimum of 35 hours for the next 3 months before you will be eligible for insurance again. As far as holidays, if the holiday falls on your scheduled work day, you have to work, unless you ask for it off in advance, but they do pay you for 8 hours of holiday at your normal rate, in addition to any lines you type that day.
At Webmedx, if you're scheduled for 35 hours, you may find (like I did) that (sm)
you have to do 40 due to the time clock situation.
I don't find it slow - I don't have any trouble making my lines - nm

Anyone else having trouble getting into Enterprise for Webmedx today?
Called Solution Center and they say it's a router issue, wait it out? Just wondering if others are having this problem. Thanks!
Most services with employees and set hours pay their QA if there is no
work.Even MQ did that when I worked there though it happened rarely. As little as MTSOs pay QA people, they would not be out much. Fact is, QA needs to be there to monitor the stats that go into QA so you really cannot log out. Almost all I get through QA are stats and I might have 15 minutes without one come in and then about 4 or 5 might come in at one time. Pay by the hour is minimal next to the cost a company has to pay for a late stat report.
Every co I have ever done QA for that paid by the hour paid if you ran out of work because you were logged in and there working. Better to have us there than to pay high fees from late reports in any event.
Any Spheris employees know if you can negotiate for less than 20 hours PT? (sm)
Getting too old to do a fully 60 hours per week and was hoping to find employee status rather than IC to fit the bill here for less than 20 PT hours a week.
Saw the add for the SoCAL account and was intrigued. Used to do a large west coast account, perhaps this one came from MQ to them? Hope, hope,
What's up with Webmedx? Another 50 FT employees? (sm)
Are they actually growing and picking up accounts that quickly or are people leaving like crazy?
Any current info appreciated? Have been considering their 35 hours for FT benefits sounds good. They also state flexible schedule. Can't beat that if it is true.
Webmedx employees?
I recently heard Webmedx has slightly higher pay and better insurance than the average company. Any current employees out there, can you give me any info? I am looking to make a switch to a company where I can pay my bills!! Thanks!
Webmedx gives you 12 hours. nm
At Webmedx FT is 35 hours. nm

40 hours at Webmedx, et al
I wrote my STM about this and was told that unless you have been notified that you are continually running behind with hours and lines, there is no worry.
I am still worried because so many things have changed with this company. Used to feel safe, secure and happy to be working for them. But I too am wary of the pep talks and rallies about how Webmedx is looking after its employees and knows the employees are what make the program successful. Continual mergers, continual workplace changes, nothing seems too stable. Someone is making $$$ here but not sure about the trickle-down effect. And ASR, ISR, whatever they call it, is a hinderance in many cases and not helpful. Many facilities and dictators have been moved into ASR that in my opinion should not be there. I spend more time correcting ASR than I would spend transcribing a report and I am certainly not paid the same rate for ASR reports. Feels like a factory job now. And where are those extra cpl going for the lines we produce with ASR? Not in our pockets but paying for ASR software, corporate salaries, etc.
Bigger is hardly ever better, expect for those at the upper end of management. Look around at this country and what has happened economically. Gouging by management, companies failing because of greed and bad decisions, broken promises, and employees left standing in the cold with hungry families, losing their homes. Shameful! I fear a bigger Webmedx does not bode well for the employees. Greed that drives large companies usually ends up biting the employees in the . . . well, you know what I mean.
It has been a little fun watching the upper eschilon (the greedy) get theirs lately with the fall of the stock market. Most of us who are not highly invested do not directly feel this. But the rich had years of getting richer and the poor way too many years of getting poorer. Now the rich are moving alongside us, poor babies, losing their millions!
Yes, six files is ridiculous. I think we've all done ..four hours of testing to find out
we're offered a whopping 7 cpl. Why waste our time. I'm not a genius but I can tell you in three files or less whether someone knows what they are doing. I've seen graduates from MT programs that have blown my mind with their no concept of punctuation or just English at all. That definitely shows up in less than six files. Let us test and move along to the next disappointing test that will come back with a joke of an offer. Gotta love it!!! 
WEBMEDX PROVIDES A COMPUTER FOR BOTH FT AND PT EMPLOYEES!
Question for WebmedX employees
My first day after a week of training, part-time 4 hours, only did 600 lines at 147 lines per hour. Trying to understand the pay. Will I get my base line rate x 600 lines regardless, or will this be calculated according to the lines per hour transcribed .
Question for Webmedx employees about OT. (sm)
I am relatively new to Webmedx having come from over a decade with MQ. I see the postings about accounts that have OT authorized and to please help where we can. Is this too good to be true? At MQ we would be in big trouble for working extra without specific authorization from our supervisor. TIA.
Webmedx employees: Two questions (sm)
Do you run out of work a lot? How is Radiology workload and pay?
TIA
Webmedx MTs - Do you make your hours? sm
I'm rather new and finding it hard to get my 35 hours in due to running out of work. I'm on multiple accounts, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
So are you able to get your hours? If so how?
If not, are there threats over losing insurance?
thanks,
Worried
MQ does and Webmedx has benefits for 35 hours. Bet there are more 2. nm
.
And WebMedX is 35 for FT. SPI/Cymed is 32 hours. nm
s
Dont you find it interesting that MQ went right on advertising for statutory employees and hiring SE
people certainly having known for a long time that this was coming. I guess they figure a lot of people would not feel like switching companies so they screwed them also now they either become an employee or look again.
Companies are hardly offer FT employees any decent benefits so I think is going to be rare to find
them for PT employees. I would love that too, unfortunately, I work too much just to get below average benefits. Best of luck in your search. Honestly, I think the only place you'll find benefits for part-timers is going in-house at a hospital.
longtime Webmedx employees-need info
I am thinking of changing to Webmedx from my present company and would like to know if I am making the right choice. I need to talk with someone who has been there for a while that can give me a clear view of the company--the good and the bad. Please E mail me and let me know. Thanks!
You work for Webmedx and shor 18 hours? sm
Get another account, check the community page, some accounts have OT on them. The work is there, you just have to flex a bit on different accounts and such.
Webmedx training period. Is it 8 hours a day or...
whatever period of time your trainer designates for those first few days. I'm starting Webmedx on Monday. I guess I could wait to find out, but would be nice to know what others' experiences have been. Thanks!!
Webmedx hire part time employees...sm
I'm really happy there. You might give them a try.
Webmedx does but it is based on hours worked, not lines. nm
.
Would like to hear from recent WEBMEDX employees. Good/bad/ugly? (nm)
Webmedx has 6 paid holidays a year, separate from PTO, for full time employees.
x
they cant "make you work certain hours" but they can find someone that is willing to work them
If not, they dont have to hire you as IC or anything for that matter. So yes it is perfectly legal.
If she hires you as an IC and it doesn't state in your contract when she needs that particular IC coverage and she then dictates what hours you work, she cannot do that.
But she can refuse to hire you if you don't provide the coverage that she is looking for.
Sorry, I work 15 hours a day 5 days a week and 5 hours the other 2, when I come here I dont proof.
nm
Why would they give you a choice of 16 or 24 hours. Usually part time is anything under 37 hours.
That is extremely odd. Well they must have something up their sleeves. Well I will be working elsewhere part time as well as with MQ as I have no intention of sitting 40 hours with no work from Amherst and be expected to have 150 lph with no work. What is all this window of work time they said they would be giving everyone. I figured all along they would do away with SE. I have already been looking around and ordered a new computer to send theirs back.
Any companies that allow line count rather than hours or less than 20 hours per week? (sm)
Wouldn't mind having something extra especially with Christmas and general winter expenses coming up but working a FT job and really don't want to do another 20 hours on top of that.
the day has 24 hours, I work only 6-8 hours, so, lots of time to post...nm
nm
Must we choose either 8, 16 or 24 hours. Why would they want someone only working 8 hours a week.
That is less than SE are required now.
MDI-FL. Approximately 7 hours a month x12 months =84 hours
And your PTO acrues from day 1. You are just unable to utilize it until after 90 days. They have excellent benefits.
You can have insurance at 30 hours with Encompass, 32 hours with eTransPlus. nm
Did find a Wright Watson Sten-Tel in Austin if their site isn't old. Find 'em with Google. nm
s
Oh for sure employees, but not too often for statutory employees. Sorry for confusion.

Attn: Any Transcend employees or former employees
I have been offered a job with Transcend, but I am not completely sure about it yet and I need some input from you guys. I have read positives and negatives regarding this company but alot of it was pretty old information. Can anyone give me some recent feedback on them? Thanks very much!!!
10-15 an hour for 8 hours is better than nothing for 8 hours when there is no work.
x
Trying to find info on Encompass on this board, can't find any recent. sm
Anyone have any current info. Any employees out there? Give me the low-down if you can! Thanks a million.
Yes!! I have been having trouble with that
for some time now. I am just not happy with them because I am on two accounts; one I can get 300 lph on, but they give me the bad one, which I can only get about 120 lph on. I dunno why they do this. I am looking for work elsewhere. It stinks and it will not change obviously. I have been with them a year and am so sick of their games!!
I did not get in trouble...
and I did not get a reply, but I am complying with the email to restrict email at HIS to business only.
The MT who emailed me was just mad at what I had written and she expressed that she felt that what I said did not represent her feelings.
not a bad rap?? Huh - what about the trouble they
got in for not paying overtime? How is it that some people get to be on the same account all the time, while others had to jump from account to account throughout the day? Maybe you are on one of those hospital accounts that is paid through the hospital and not Diskriter - because that is the only way you would be happy and THAT IS THE ONLY WAY THAT DISKRITER will leave you alone to do your job. I can't tell you the number of phone meetings I had to take part in, away from my line count production to listen to garbage and stupid pep rally crap. I'm glad I left when I did, because others I know left as well.
well I have had no trouble with them.
xxxx
I had the same trouble with them.
I've posted this before. She had to put her dog out that kept barking in the background. She wanted to know why I left my previous job on-site (duhhh). It does not take rocket science to figure that I wanted to work from home. I would be skeptical to give out office/physician names of your accounts if you have any. It makes me wonder if they want some of this information so they can target the offices you work for and go in for the kill. Is this just me being paranoid? This can be a real cut-throat profession. 
D&L is in trouble, better get out
while you can. I would call tech (if they still have a tech guy left) and then Donna... For your own sake, get out while you can... They have no intensions of paying the people they owe. I would not let them get behind in your pay.. when the excuses start, stop typing.. I should have long before they owed me three paychecks. Good luck. Does not sound good though. Are the phones still on?
Of course they got in trouble (sm)
As you said, they were dictating ALL parameters . Did you take a few minutes to read the article that I posted? It clearly states what an IC contract should include, which in part is the definition of the project, the deadline for when the project should be completed, and the rate of pay for the project. It also states that a company can refuse work from a contractor that is not to standard. The article confirms everything that I said from the beginning of this conversation.
Trouble too, not just you! sm
I also have had trouble making my line count! I don't think it is just you. However, I have been with many, many companies in the past few years and I just keep running out of work at all of them, so I'm staying put for now because at least if I run out here, I get paid. I keep track of every minute I am out of work. I was just switched to a new account (quite difficult), but at least I always have work and I think I can get used to the difficulty. Oh, how I miss the days of doing 300 lph and actually having money, though!
Have you had any trouble getting -
I recall a couple of posts in the last month or so claiming DV doesn't pay. Have you run into this problem yet?
You trying to cause trouble sm
I am here working today. I have not received even a single email telling me to work, not a thing!
I didn't have work the first hour today, but I went and did something else for an hour, came back and I have had steady work since. I even have some of my favorite things, which is unusual in the morning.
If you could just hear yourself!
