Spheris sign-on bonus
I wish that all transcriptionists would stop working for these transcription companies. I have been an MT for over 20 years, earn a great salary at a hospital and now I'm losing my job to a service who wants to pay me 8 cents per line. I refuse to give them my expertise for that crappy pay. There is nothing right about it. Also, you can bet that the sign on bonus will be made up somehow or another, probably with bad pay!
Spheris longevity bonus
I quit Healthscribe right before they merged with Spheris, and we did get a longevity bonus with HS. The only problem with that was that the bonuses were actually paid by HS only one time per year no matter what date the MT started, so you could be there almost 2 years before getting your 1-year bonus. And.. they took taxes out of it, so it didn't amount to that much anyway. Not much of a bonus, in my opinion.
Spheris--Annual Longevity bonus..
Noticed on MTJobs that Spheris' ad says they pay a longevity bonus. I have been there nearly 5 years and they quit doing that when it was Edix and I never got one. Is anyone receiving this now? Maybe it is the Healthscribe side?
Christmas Bonus survey...Has anyone received a bonus yet this year or expect one?
We usually get one but haven't see it yet. Just curious if anyone has been so lucky as to get one.
MTjobs
Honestly, I am looking for something similar. Unfortunately, have been and nothing. Twenty plus years in this business and it is getting worse. The pay is horrible, what the companies get away with is unbelievable, and this industry is going down the toilet fast. 
mtjobs.com has nothing to do with
What is your point? I don't understand. Did you read the posts in this string?
They have an ad up right now on mtjobs.com, #6. nm

i mean mtjobs sry

MTjobs.com
I typed in Radiology in the keyword search on this site, and it pulled up a bunch of job postings by companies looking for Radiology MTs. Have you looked there already or tried those companies? 
COMPANIES ON MTJobs.com
What is it with all of these companies that keep posting over and over on MTJobs.com??? Same companies, over and over and over and over. My suspicion is because they absolutely can hold on to NO help. Any other opinions on this and just how much stock does anyone else take in those companies?
Here's their ad inside. It's from 12/22 from mtjobs.com. sm...

Check out MTJobs on the web.
it think it is on about the second page of jobs... a company out of California that starts with a P
mtjobs.com and the job bank here..sm
Both have employee jobs listed. I know Med-Scribe, Focus (don't automatically count them out, not all have had bad experiences), WebmedX, eTransPlus and a couple others are hiring employees.
MTjobs is another good one
Google *medical transcription jobs* and see what happens.
Check the ads on mtjobs.com. Remember seeing a few. nm

Post your resume at mtjobs.com (sm)
I did and have been contacted by 4 companies. Talked on the phone to 2 different people and 1 was definitely better than the other in terms of pay. I'm just doing this to fill a gap until I get more clients for my own company but it's a living.

Radiology job on MTJobs paying 75 cents per report...
Will we be reduced to pennies? There is no way you can make a living at 75 cents per report.
Also, it is not only about a birthday bonus, any bonus...sm
I am curious to see the average amount of different bonuses out there. Like anniversary, birthday, holiday, etc. bonuses. Remember back when you were an employee and had to go out to work for a company, during your birthday, anniversaries, certain special times of the year everyone would send around a card, sign it, cook a meal or something nice for you...I am just wondering if any company does that for you even though you don't actually have to dress and go to work physically. A simple poll...NOT something I will base on becoming an employee with...A SIMPLE POLL! Thanks for everyone who gave some input about their actual company and not a criticism...Just a simple question ....
No bonus here - I make my own bonus sm
by working more and having a big fat paycheck!
I have learned, in life, not to expect so as to not be let down or disappointed. I apply that reasoning to all aspects of life, including my career.
Although I agree that sometimes it is nice to have others think of you with a gift or bonus, in reality, it is not the norm working as an IC.
Christmas has become so materialized and commercialized, it really is sad for those who don't have as much as others to feel such a financial stress and burden to buy or give gifts.
So, I say make your own bonus and work a little more, get some extra lines in, and that would be your bonus!
Happy Holidays to All!
Their listing on mtjobs.com (#11) still has them in Wisconsin. A contact likes working for them,

I still feel like a team player of Spheris, as the shackle scars are still on my legs! Spheris was
Micromanaged to the microsecond, or ms! Horrible. And part of a team? Total opposite - part of a team as in prison.
Don't imply you're worried at all. Just stating fact that Spheris does NOT allow a Spheris MT
work concurrently for MQ - no exceptions. MQ, on the other hand, does not have the same feelings as Spheris. Just all I had to say so that MTs aren't misled into thinking they can do the same "legally". Even went to the ropes on this issue with Spheris, as I was professional as well, and wouldn't share info, etc. The point they raised was that MQ is their direct #1 competition, and if I was typing for MQ and doing great work, that was in direct conflict of interest with Spheris' best interests. Guess which one I obviously stuck with!!
Thank you, Spheris recruiter! Anybody wanna place a bet that there are lots of Spheris
HELP WANTED ads on the job board?? So funny!! Out of the blue, Spheris, we love you!! Lets all run and apply NOW!!
I also know Spheris would fire you if they knew you worked for MQ. That is a BIG NO with Spheris!

Spheris - any spheris employees out there care to s/m
comment on the new Cornerstone platform, good, bad? Will we all be going to SR on this? Thanks.
Where is my bonus!
I have been at OSi a long time and don't know what my audit scores are. I never got a bonus but you see the same names in the newsletter every single time with the bonus. I think they are just paid it as part of the inner circle and probably never got an audit either. If I did mess up I wouldn't know it because nobody ever tells me anything about an audit. What gives????
Where is my bonus!
Well isn't that interesting that 2 people on here know nothing of audits? Why is that? Why isn't everyone getting audits monthly and randomly? Something is stinky here.
SE's bonus with MQ
Are you working for the St Louis office? This is where I was hired, but have not sent in my paperwork yet. Do you have a lot of ESL? They don't bother me too much, but they can slow you down. How are you liking working for Medquist so far....after reading some of the posts on here I am very nervous, but I think I will give them a chance to see for myself.
Bonus
Im bringing it back up here. Listen, no one owes you anything for working for them but your paycheck. The way I look at it, these people are not my friends, not my family, and have nothing to do with my holiday however I wish to celebrate it. If I were to receive something, I would be grateful but don't expect it. Your job is your job and thats all it is. It gets way too personal when you expect something from an employer. A gift is something that should be given from the heart, if one wants to, not something that is expected to be given. And as far as thank yous? I earn my paycheck, I don't expect someone to thank me for something they are already paying for. Just my opinion, probably gonna start up a big fuss here -
x-mas bonus
Hello..Merry Christmas everyone! It is my one year working at Medware and just wondering if they give x-mas bonuses? 
Bonus
You're obviously a new MT right? Sorry, but I had to laugh when I read that. In my 20+ years of working in transcription only one company gave us a Christmas bonus. It's unheard of really.
bonus
That's great. Good for you! Okay, maybe not totally unheard of, but deifnitely not the norm for most MTSOs.
Bonus
I've been with my current employer for 3 months and I got a substantial bonus, but it may be because I work for a small local nephrology group. Before this I didn't receive anything.
bonus
Well, first off, she asked about Medware specifically. no one answered that specifically, but anyway, I received a bonus from my present MTSO even after working for them for only three months, almost three years ago. I also received a fairly substantial bonus last Christmas from the same MTSO. I don't know for sure, but I suspect I will get a bonus again this year. I also sent them a Happy Holidays gift. I think it is good to *acknowledge* both the MTSO and the IC/employee, simply for doing good work all year. JMO. Merry Christmas to all.
$100 bonus! : )

$225 bonus. ;-)

I have been getting the QA bonus
for a long time. I know my account well, and I know what QA wants (for the most part!)
TT bonus
Can you elaborate on how the production bonus is figured and how often it is paid? Thanks again.
The bonus ... (sm)
.... is paid on a weekly line count. There is a minimum daily line requirement which is reasonable, and IMO, I believe they would be able to keep transcriptionists if the bonus were based on anything over their required lines per day instead of weekly.
bonus
That is definitely NOT a $1,000 bonus. Not in my book. Human nature...something else. People are crucifying eachother.
Bonus?
I have worked for MQ for 20 years and NEVER received a bonus at X-mas! Has anyone gotten one from MQ?
Bonus
Yes, I get a bonus every Christmas. Should be getting it in this week's paycheck. I was also invited to their holiday party the first weekend in January.
Bonus
One year I got a snowglobe with my company's logo as a bonus. But, i guess at least they remembered, LOL.
bonus
I appreciate hearing positive things about companies and did not feel the poster was bragging at all. It is also good to know what companies value their employees and actually show it.
