Bad day...please forgive me :)
Sounds like they haven't changed much since they were Edix.
That was the biggest waste of time for me. I literally would be at my desk on and off for 12 hours to try to get 8 hours of work. We got the same excuse, holiday slowdown. BS is right! Hello! Halloween is not a holiday that people take off and vacation for. They were sending as much of that work to India as they could. Of course they asked us for a list of the worst dictators on our account, which we foolishly provided. A few weeks later, that is all I would get, the worst of the worst. They sent the best dictators to India, and we had to fight for the scraps of crap that was left. Get out, get out now, don't wait. Best thing I did was quit that job. It will suck you dry, monetarily and emotionally.
I haven't started yet, but it sounds like the IC is truly an IC position. sm
While you are training, you are expected to work days, then it sounded like they leave you on your own. You are required to work 1 weekend a month if you do not have a weekend day in your normal rotation. Everyone is an IC until you have completed 6 pay cycles (3 months), then you have the option of becoming an employee. Your rate of pay is determined somewhat by your line count.
As for the platform, it is their own. They say it is easy to use, that it is Word-based. There was a post below saying it is NOT MT friendly, so I really do not know.
I am not sure if this helps, but I'll tell you anything I know -- just at this point what I know is not much. Good luck!
Evidently things haven't changed since I left. Sounds like they've gotten worse - LOL

how do u know if u haven't worked for them?
mq seems nice 2 on the surface.
just curious
Haven't worked for them but I'm pretty sure
I've seen postings about this company on this board before. Try doing an archive search.
If I remember correctly it's owned by a very nice lady but she's really a ditz so the company's very disorganized.
Double check the archives to make sure though.
I haven't worked there in awhile but sm
It was a definite trade-off. The pay was just not good at all. However, on the plus side, they were good to work with and they assigned accounts that weren't bad. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay at that $$ and had to move on. You will have to weigh how much $$ you need, but I was nowhere near 9 or 10 cpl with over 10 yrs experience.
I got one too and haven't worked for them for two years-thanks. lol nm

Haven't worked for those places but....
I can recommend MDI-MD and Landmark. MDI-MD is IC only; Landmark has employee and/or IC.
I'm not sure if either is hiring but they're definitely worth a shot.
Hope you find something else soon :-)
Haven't worked for ExecuScribe but have been at TT for about two months now
TT is the best company I've worked for in my 18 years as an MT. See all the other postings below.
PS- I am not a plant or cheerleader. Just a happy employee.
If you have worked for us for two years and haven't gotten a raise or a bonus....
you need to contact Liz, as she states. We have many bonuses for weekends (when busy) and we also pay LD. If you are not getting long distance paid - speak to Liz. If you are a true employee, and not just getting on the bashing bandwagon, then Liz can help you.
Have worked for them 8 weeks, haven't received a check yet. -nm
I haven't worked there in close to a year now, but I was very happy while I was there. nm
:)
TSSC is really good. I've worked for other nationals and haven't been let down by them. nm
sounds like the company I worked for
Happened to me, too. By any chance, is this company located in Colorado?
Never worked for that place, but sounds like old MTSO
xx
Dang, sounds like we worked for the same company before!
I agree; I was scared to death to make a change, but the opportunity to work for KS just fell in my lap and after a rough (slow) start I can truly say I am glad to be working for them.
I was kind of impressed by the year-end survey, which came to me shortly after starting. I like that kind of proactive approach.
Sounds like a woman i worked for in Colorado..nm

Sounds like a company I worked for. I did get paid in full but I sure know how you feel!
Can you post or email me just the initials of company and I'll let you know if this is the same one. It has happended to me by more than one company in my time as an MT
I have been with MDI-MD since the end of 2005 - and I
totally agree with the comments by anon. I enjoy working for them. Fantastic, caring people to work for. Communication is excellent and far above what I have experienced in the past. Replies are practically instantaneous via email with any questions, problems, etc., you might have to the liaison of your account - same with telephone help via technical support. Have normal slow-downs in work over the Holidays, but I'm kept extremely busy on a daily basis on the account that I'm on - usually doing more than my commitment, though not required to do so. Should there ever be a lack of work on my account and I wanted an additional account, all I would need to do is ask. Please note -- I am on ONE ACCOUNT -- not 5, 10, or more !! Since being hired, I can honestly say that I now love being a medical Transcriptionist again - something I had lost during my prior 12 years with another company :o)
MDI-FL Any 2005 MDI-FL MTs still around who can
Transcend took over MDI-FL in January of 2005. Is there anyone who transferred to Transcend from MDI-FL in 2005 that is still working for Transcend or can remember back then, and could shed some light on how the transition went and answer some of the questions like:
1. Did your cpl change? Higher? Lower?
2. Did you have to go to a set schedule?
3. Did you get to stay on the same accounts that you had at MDI-FL?
Any other information you could share would sure be great.
Thank you.
They last had an ad here in 2005 for 8 cpl. No other info. nm

still only get posts from 2005
I must be mentally insufficient to utilize these new-fangled gizmos.
Their last ad here was from 2005. They may have folded or
?
Sorry. It has to be me. I did exactly what you said and all it has is 2004 and 2005.
Thanks anyway. Maybe someone will still enlighten me, but obviously it is not looking too positive so I probably won't waste my time with them.
Don't know, but the posts from 2005 about them are quite negative. nm

I cannot answer for February of 2005.
I was not employed there then. I have been there a little over 2 years. I can say when I started at Axolotl there were maybe 10 to 15 acute care MTs. We have more than doubled in size since then. I do know that if we had work outsourced to other companies, we would not have the amount of work to transcribe that is always here.
Axolotl is also an EMR provider and if you go to their website you can read all about that area of their business.
In my 15 years of being a trancriptionist, I have never found a better company to work for and this is why:
1. They treat their MTs like they should be treated.
2. They compensate MTs the way they should be compensated.
3. The platform is great.
4. We do not run out of work and they do not overhire.
5. They offer great benefits.
6. Great management and editors.
After reading so many horror stories on this site about some of the nightmares other MTs have gone through with other companies, plus the fact I have had a few myself, I am BLESSED to find such a great company.
You are still wrong, I'm sorry; that manual is from 2005 sm
All the managers sent out information saying it was at their discretion. Instead of posting here, why don't you just ask your manager if it is true?
2005 MW Social Security Statement
Thank you very much for alerting us to this.
I am ex-MW employee. I too am going to report MW as my 2005 SS statement was not reported. I hope they are FULLY investigated.
I am going to call SS in the morning. Who should I notify in the Department of Labor?
I also did not have my state taxes taken out by MW, but I was required to pay my state taxes as if I were an IC in my state, even though I was an employee in this company.

I didn't work there way back in 2005, so
I can't comment on your personal experience, but for me in 2008:
1. If you run out of work, you are paid downtime. You can do backup acounts also. Not sure about the written consent but there are a lot of us who work on other accounts.
2. Sample reports: The program allows you to bring up previously typed reports by experienced MTs by doctor, patient, report type, etc., so the MT has endless samples.
3. Supervisor currently, from what I can tell anyhow, has a lot of contact with hosital including informing them of problem dictators and other issues that directly impact the MT's production, etc.
4. I think they changed the insurance to cover out-of-area employees, but don't quote me on that.
Personally I've had a very good experience with the FL account. Nothing is perfect, but I'm very satisfied.
No flyer, but in 2005, they were only paying 8 cpl until you hit 1400 lpd. Any mention of

sure sounds swell. Sounds like 2350 ln/day @ 4 cents/ln=$90./day
in order to figure how many line needs to be produced to make $500 per pay period. ie, how many lines an hour needed per 8 hour day --at your rate.
So say $450 a week would be $90 a day.
For example, if making 4 cents a line,need 2,250 lines a day, 281 an HOUR (to listen through and edit) to make this great wage of $90. a day FOR ALL THIS SAME SKILL, TO KEEP UPDATED WITH CHANGING MEDICAL COMMUNITY. nope Better at Jack-in-Box Pass it up.
Sounds like it and it sounds like you must tell them when they will be and no change them. Wonder
what you do when there is no work. Well, there will be a lot of problems with this whole plan if they dont get things straightened out with this no work situation.
I worked for a temp agency for 3 years..LOVED it. Just worked. No counts, no hassels, GREAT pay..
No benefits at the time. I even learned pathology while temping (8 months on that assigment). I loved the variety, the ability to say I'm not available such and such time. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I didn't need benefits.
A company is ONLY supposed to verify that someone worked there, what dates they worked, whether PT o
and last date worked. It opens everyone up to a lawsuit if more is given, so most companies are told by their attorneys and business advisors to verify only.
No one has a right to a reference, only verification of employment.
