How are you supposed to know when the work will be in to make up?
We are not privvy to how much work is in the system at any given time. We only know what is in our queue. This is just absurd on so many levels.
Is that supposed to make sense? Was that a
kidding or not. If you are, whatever. If you're not and you represent KS and think that's OK, its not. Whether you get work or not should have absolutely nothing to do with your seniority status. That's just crazy. So hopefully you're just wasting our time.
WMX-ers, please humor me. Are we seroiusly supposed to make up enough hours sm
to complete the required work week when there is no work? Before everyone jumps on me saying that I am lazy, don't want to work, need to ask for more accounts, etc., give me a break. I am quite new to the company, and I rely on a full-time work week for my benefits for my family. I already have 5 accounts and have asked for more. All are out of work (or so I am told). I have four small children, so working all hours of the night and the wee hours of the morning is not possible on a daily basis (but I am willing to do what I can to get my hours in).
I am asking an honest question here: Is there no leeway at all during the extremely slow holiday months? It is bad enough that I will pull in less money, but even worse that I could lose my benefits. YES I know it is slow at all companies during the holiday season. YES I know I could get a job somewhere else. If a current or past WMX-er could please just give me some insight, I would greatly appreciate it. :-) I got up earlier today to get a jump on things, and I ran out of work earlier! LOL I ran out of work at 10 a.m. (again).
Requirement jacked up after good work goes
What's really great is how they jacked up the minimun requirements after ASR and Precyse International took all the good work, so it's now all crap all the time and you'd better do more of it or else. I'm very disappointed in this company.
Supposed to be easy work, but you won't ever get more than 8 cpl. How it was, anyway..nm

I'd like to know the bad platform and which accounts run out of work. I'm supposed to have bac
accounts to work on...Please email me.. I cant afford to work on the Mojave Desert LOL
So you are supposed to work until that minute like nothing is wrong? sm
Do they really expect everyone to just say OK and carry on as usual until that time? They're nuts.
the new accts were supposed to already be on board and still no work
x
Why were you supposed to start work at noon?
BECAUSE YOU HAVE A SCHEDULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Duh! You are just as anal as they are. No wonder you love working there.
FOR THE LAST TIME....IF YOU ARE A TRUE IC, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE A SCHEDULE!!! Whether you emailed them or not is NOT the point. Sheesh!
If you have scheduled hours/a scheduled start and stop time, YOU ARE BEING TREATED LIKE AN EMPLOYEE. GET A CLUE!
I guess our clue is supposed to be when we run out of work all the time?

I make 4 cents a line, work part and make
over $500 a week on part.
how are you supposed to work and watch your mail all the time to play a stupid contest?
Transcend cares only about the big pay for its managers and corporate people, nothing for its MTs. Pay used to be decent, is less than mediocre for that horrible editing platform we are forced to use. ROMs have nothing to do but yell at the MTs and invent first grade games to play. I would rather have had the $1.48 postage and $1.00 it cost for the mouse pad and strip calendar.
Remember the old days when Edix used to give the Drake and Drake drug book for MT week? That was when Edix was a good company, too.
Good & bad posts in the past. Must work 1 Sat. a month. Supposed to be gross line pay. Some days
s
I make more than that with Spheris but never have work. I would rather make $1.25 and have work. s
My SIL works for KS, and she gets paid double for linked reports too. Where do you get $2.25? I am ready to leave Spheris.
Webmedx - low work ? Can you make up lines when work available (sm)
or do you have to schedule a make up time or just do without the lines?
Exactly and the CMT should be a requirement
to practice! That has been proven by the absolutely atrocious quality of MT'ing today. Trust me, I have been a recruiter, a mentor/trainer, a supervisor and QA, I've seen it all and it ain't pretty.
Line requirement
I was told 6,000/two week period.
Line requirement
What I meant to post, 6,000 lines/two weeks for a part timer, 12,000 lines/two weeks for a full time worker, whether you are statutory or employee
IS THERE A MINIMAL REQUIREMENT?
and do they give you the equipment to use?
The only requirement of a recruiter
is to get bodies in the door. Some are honest and some aren't. If you have a bad gut feeling then you need to go with that. My experience has been that the ones who are good recruiters have all the answers on the fly; if not, they can put you on hold to get the answer, or get back soon.
Of course you may have gotten a recruiter who just started and you are asking questions no one had given her/him answers for. Geez, the percentage of retention for the past year? That's an arbitrary question in any event due to a number of different factors and one I wouldn't even ask. I know my skill set so for me it's just knowing if they have a system I can make money on and if there is sufficient work to make money.
Weekend requirement
Is any two weekend days per month. Friday PM shift also counts as a weekend.

The reason for this requirement is....sm
the speed and success of transferring voice files over a dialup ISP usually cause a lot of problems and take a person at least 2 x as long to download a file, most commonly 3 times as long.
Do you have satellite ISP availability?

What is the line requirement for them for full time?
Alltype - New MT requirement) sm
I tested, had recruiter interview, given install date and emailed the paper work which included Appendix G provide and maintain Professional Liability Insurance, required by law.
When I asked about this, was told, part of renters or home owners insurance for PC. But when I called around, insurance companies -- said no, & puzzled by this requirement. I asked well how would the company benefit, they said, I don't know. In the event of loss, they pay to me, not the employing company.
Anybody run into to this job requirement before with them or others??
if you CAN make it work - take all you can. I have 3!! go for it.

You will work like a dog at 4 cpl and not make much.
I suspect they do not pay for footers, headers, spaces, etc. I used to work there and it would like me 12 hours just to make $100 and I think I am fairly fast. Someone wrong with that picture.
Make sure they have enough work
I worked for them maybe 6-7 years ago and they didn't have enough work, we were running out every day. They only had one major hospital account, the rest clinics. It was a long time ago, things may have changed. Be sure to check that out!
Nothing there to make you sad ...Still one of the best you could work for. SM
Why bring this thread up to the top after all this time?
The OP said she was low on work on one particular account. She asked if anyone else had experienced this. I responded I had been low on work on that particular account as well. The original thread really ended with OP saying thanks, she just didn't want to think she was the only one experiencing the shortfall. So now she does not have to feel that she was singled out to receive less work. I don't think that was ever the case, it never has felt that way to me. And the fact is that there has been more than enough work available on that particular account for this entire past week.
Neither the OP, (Anon) or the respondent, (myself - Wise) wrote anything in any way negative. Certainly NOTHING was said about any particular person, including about any particular recruiter. It was strictly a question about work flow.
Why people have posted emotions, such as stunned, or saddened, about a very routine question, is beyond me. If we worked in office, we would certainly ask our coworker about everyday matters such as this one. While a short period of low work load can be frightening and frustrating, knowing that I'm not the only one reassures me that I'm not being singled out.
Just as the recruiter writes in the latest ad on the other site, DRC is the best MT job I have ever had, and I am glad to tell my MT friends about them.
These knee-jerk reaction posts insinuating that something else was written really serve no purpose except to inflame.
I can see that it will be better for me to confine my answers to individual e-mails from now on for anything but the What's for dinner? questions.

As an IC I make .09 and work
freely on my own. I REALLY do love working for them! They are very flexible. I have had a good experience with them!
Do you get enough work to at least make
.
I only make about 20K but then I only work
They can't make you do it. They can tell you when the work is there,
as someone else said, if you can't or don't want to work at the times they have work available, they'll find someone else who can. The client IS allowed to specify what they want/need, there is no set rule about that, but they can't MAKE you do anything. They can stop offering work if you aren't meeting their needs, but unless they pay your taxes, they can't set your hours for you.
The painter analogy is good one because if you hired a painter, you can tell them you don't want them there in the middle of the night, what painting you need done, what kind of paint you'd like, etc. A good IC painter is going to do their best to provide those things to please their client and obtain more work or referrals, but they certainly don't HAVE to do so. They could still show up to paint in the middle of the night while your family is sleeping and use lead-based paint, but would you keep that painter on or find a new painter who can work during the day and uses the paint you prefer?
I'd make sure which one has enough work.
With Transcend, too much instability. If you want to find yourself jumping from account to account when one runs out, then you'd do fine. Personally, it is too frustrating to me to constantly have to jump around. It hasn't always been this way so I suspect either overhire or sending more work to India than they already do.
You'd better make sure you work your
I take it these are employee positions.... No IC should be working a set shift; if you are, you are really in a desparate situation. LOL - too funny how MTs will stoop to scramble to test and await a response from someone who obviously cannot even post a job correctly. Just my 2 cents. This Debbie Hicks lady needs to get over herself in a big way. The ones who got the job ; check back and let us know how it goes - 
Isn't asking you to make up work..
.. that wasn't available during your schedule like asking an employee to sit on the office with no pay for their work schedule, but please come back at midnight to see if we have work for you? Um, how is THAT legal?
The full time requirement is (sm)
1000 lpd. Not sure about part time. I am on the new ortho account that just started. I just started so cannot really answer the next question, but they seem to give you a primary and leave it at that. They do like to cross train, which everyone does. They send a foot pedal, but you get online with the tech person to download the software. It is very user friendly and the best I have ever worked on!!
again, no physical requirement at diskriter
but hospital employees still have to have a physical, pretty extensive one too - - I used to be one but got out of that employee status, prefer the Diskriter employee status, believe you can get both there though whichever floats your boat
Line requirement is 11,000 per pay period. sm
You keep a time sheet and turn it in every 2 weeks. I am not sure as to how much time you are given to get up to speed, but they are a great bunch of people and seem to be very understanding and caring. I am sure they would work with you if you were having problems. And yes, you can make up your time if you are missing some hours. Hope that helps.
Good luck!
