Spheris/Cornerstone CUE program/line discrepancy
Posted By: lac on 2007-11-20
In Reply to:
I just started cornerstone last payperiod and there have been line discrepancies according to my mentor. I show I did 3,024 lines last week and she only showed 1597. When we had our weekly mentor call I showed her how you have to go to the next day to get all of the lines (i.e. 11/17/2007- 11/18/2007 to pull up the lines for 11/17/2007). She also said that CUE only showed that I was only for 18 hours which is a load!! I worked 40 hours. She said that everytime it pauses it adds that to the time. It pauses when I am spell checking. But none of that added up to such a discrepancy.
I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem. Or maybe I just needed to vent. I like the idea of having instant line counts but they are not even getting the same ones we are. I have to double check my paycheck this time just to see if they are paying me all of my lines.

Spheris Cornerstone
I am leaving. I have never in my life been so terribly angry and stressed daily as I have become at Spheris. Cornerstone is a joke. SR? Lol! Tell me you can lock the cursor to that sound indicator and not stop every 2-3 words!! What a JOKE. I have had it.
so, Cornerstone is Spheris' SR ?

Spheris cornerstone sucks
Lots of people looking for other jobs now that Spheris is trying to lower pay and force VR on their MT's.
Can I load the Spheris program on my lap top? nm

line counting program
Does anybody know of a free line counting program I could download? Also, is anybody familiar with wtd. lines vs. lines in a line counting program? I assume wtd. means weighted, and what does it mean? Thanks.
Line counting program. I'm sure there are previous
posts regarding this issue, however, I really don't have the time right now to do a search for them. I was wondering what the best line counting program is, where I can get it from, etc. I have Windows XP and use Microsoft Word 2003 if that helps any at all. I would very much appreciate anyone's input on this subject. TYIA.
Apparently getting a new line counting program
We were told we were getting a new line counting program some time back - but as of yet I have not seen it. Anyone at TT using this program yet?
Is the line count program slow for all MTSO's who

They don't seem the line counting program is too important. No updates on

Seems like job discrepancy
The mommies/expectant/pregnant girls get special benefits that the mature/aged MT's do not get. They get maternity/paternity PAID LEAVE ! This seems more like age discrepancy. Where is the aged/mature MT's PAID DAYS/WEEKS to make this an equal benefit -- and NOT age discrepancy. We mature individuals enjoy PAID holidays as much as those who get pregnant. We have enough children in this world now -- adopt a child.
Seems like job discrepancy
Just to inform you all - (and I would be considered aged/mature MT) It is a federal law - Maternity Leave is treated as a disability. That means if you get paid for maternity leave, they must pay for someone that has a disability that prevents them from working. It is not vacation!! It is not age discrimination. I have worked as an MT for many-many years, but my husband owns (owned) a construction co. with over 50 employees. So, I am familiar with human resources laws, etc
Discrepancy
In our conference call, we were told the statutory employee status would end effective Jan 1. They pushed the employee side of things and hemmed hawed on the IC side.
1000 lines discrepancy needs to be fixed.

Not a discrepancy, just a lag time - they don't count headers or footers.
nm
the reason for the discrepancy has been explained by the owner of the company already - nm

Spheris line counts
Anyone else working there who are having trouble getting minimum line counts? Wondering if they are messing with the character count or what!!!! I am working same as before full speed ahead and having a hard time getting my MINIMUM. Frustating. Had to vent. Thanks
Spheris line count question
I am a newbie at Spheris and the health care package was offered last month. I am not making the line count. My line count is around 250-300 a day, full time, but my QA scores are 100%. I know some would argue that with such a low production, my QA scores should be 100%,but I was told accuracy comes first. Can someone shed some light on how long I can hang in at my low production,and will I keep my benefits if I do not make the line count soon. I have been struggling on since August.
Thanks
What line rate does Spheris pay for radiology MTs?
TIA
Does Spheris require a phone line? sm
I'm thinking about going there, but why bother applying and testing if I have to use a C-phone. I do internet work only. Any other Spheris info good or bad anyone could share is appreciated. Thanks.
MQ and Spheris line rates for SR/trans?
Can anyone tell me what editing/trans rates are for these companies? Are there any production incentives?
Spheris line rates & incentives
Some employees at Spheris are now being told that production and QA incentives will be eliminated. The line rate is variable, but in general, the very least you will accept. This used to be a wonderful company. Very little concern now for either employees, quality of work, or serving best interests of clients. Many are leaving.
The mentoring program does not pay 8-1/2 cents per line. Believe it is like 6 cents.

Anyone work for Spheris doing VR? Could you share experience, pay, line count etc..
Also, what are the benefits like i.e., medical insurance etc??
Spheris Canada...Applied on line per instructions but problems with template...
After completing page 1 it flips to page 2 and asks you for to choose a State...obviously I'm in Canada (for which page 1 had that option). I am hoping this did not screw up my application.
I am very experienced so I am sure they would contact me...Checked out their web site and there is only a general inq # to call.
Is anyone working with the Canada (Ontario) Division...is it all through US head office....any insight ?
CORNERSTONE NJ NO WAY
Cornerstone in NJ is the worst company to work for. She lies, lies, lies. She tells you there is work and as soon as you start making money, she pulls you off the account. She has done this to everyone I know who has ever worked for them. There are plenty of other companies to work for out there.

Does anyone have any word on Cornerstone Transcription?

Cornerstone NJ
Whatever you do, do NOT work for them. I am not the only one, but Pam puts you on one account, then when you start making money, she takes you off and puts you on another account. She is a liar, shorts your hours and very nasty. She will start off as your best friend, but it is just an act. The owners won't listen, they say they trust her judgment. There is NO getting through to them. There are other companies out there. Good luck.

We will all be on Cornerstone
They are forcing this on all of us. Personally, i do not like this platform and find it hard to make a decent line count. I know my supe said that she loved this platform. However, if you are trying to make a living it is a different story.
Cornerstone
I think they added a couple of things but basically made it worse. They need to throw it in the scrap heap. You did the right thing by leaving.
Anybody know anything about Cornerstone

Cornerstone (CUE)
Search the archives on here under Spheris and you will read plenty regarding Cornerstone, SR/VR, etc., etc.
IT and Cornerstone
Originally we were told we would have to convert our IT files to Shorthand, but by the time I was trained on Cornerstone they had decided to make IT compatible with it, which made the transition from the HITS platform to Cornerstone much easier. From the few minutes I spent looking at Shorthand, it did not look as easy to use as IT, but that may have been just because I was already very proficient at IT.
Cornerstone?

Any info on Cornerstone (CTS) in WY?
I've looked back in the archives and there isn't much info. Just curious about pay rate, if they have enough work, if they offshore, how is management, etc.
There is a Cornerstone Transcription in

Is Cornerstone the same as Clarity?
I quit right before they were switching us from TWS to Clarity. Is this something new - did they scrap Clarity, rename it, or bring in something in addition to?
There is really nothing wrong with Cornerstone
Not that I have experienced anyway. Platform is easy to use and extremely compatible with VR...it just gets better all the time. They are always adding new features and VR is learning more and getting easier every day.
I don't have problems with Cornerstone
Lots of people complain about Cornerstone, but I really haven't found it to be slow or to be that big of a problem at all. The days I don't hit my personal goal for lines (2600), is generally due to lack of work, but not the platform. Lately there has been plenty of work most days and I've even gone over my goal some days. I keep trying to figure out why people are having problems with the platform. I have a lot of problems with the company as a whole, but the platform is the least of my worries.
They generally do come out with an update on the platform every 6 months, but those are generally good changes. It is a work in progress and I don't have a problem with them making updates that are beneficial.

Anyone hear of Cornerstone in New Jersey?

Thanks
MDI-FL and Cornerstone Professional Services
Could I please hear from anyone who is currently working for MDI-FL or Cornerstone Professional Services. I have searched for both companies, but would like to hear how the people who are still working for these companies like/dislike working for them. Any information would be appreciated...both pros and cons.
Thank you.
Cornerstone Transcription - Wyoming??
Anyone have any info - good or bad - on this company. Did a search and only found the one in New Jersey.

Cornerstone Professional Services
Cornerstone Professional Services is a very bad company to work for. They lie and they have trouble keeping people. Find another company!!!!!
Cornerstone Professional Services
How is this company? Do they pay on time? Is there is enough work? How is the QA staff? How is their platform? How are the owners? TIA
sorry for so many questions, but I like others am looking for a truthful company with stable work that does not, dog me out.
