of course, scheduled. All interviews are Scheduled.

That is what I just said. !0 days PTO, period. That includes vacation, sick days and personal days
They should have paid holidays so that you are paid if you take off. Also should inculde extra hours for sick days and personal days.
That annual raise of .002 is kind of a joke especially when at the same time they upped the minimum line requirement from 10,000 lines to 12,000 lines.
OSi just does not have the qualified people in management positions that I wish to work for.
I am glad that you are happy at OSi and all is working out for you. Their dishonesty and the way they treat people just does not work for me.
Of course they can get by cheaply by hiring unqualified people so that is very good for the owners.
Scheduled? OMG. That is so sad!

Yes, scheduled
It was my regular shift. I do PT Sun-Thu, 2nd. I do a combination of VR/regular. Had no problems today, thank goodness
If you are a very scheduled person sm
and are good at staying on task, etc., then I would advise you to go for it! I am horrible at keeping a good schedule - but I do have a second job and when I have 2 I find I actually work better because I know I have to knuckle down and get it done or else. Best of luck to you if you decide to take it on!
I mean that if you are scheduled for a day, you cannot just take off and make it up at the end of t
They expect you to follow your schedule and if you are on a flexible account, they expect you to get the volume that you commit to. This is any job, not just transcription. They have all employees; if someone needs to be able to work only when they can without a schedule, then KS is definitely not the place for them. That is more of an IC position. If you are an ortho or clinic MT, a lot of the accounts have 24-hour TAT and can be flexible, so it is all in what you are looking for and each account is different.
I once had a second job that was just for certain scheduled hours.
It was an easy account so lines were not a problem either way. They never mentioned a minimum line count. I was expected to empty out my queue on the dictaphone if I could, but they were great about not putting too much on. If I didn't finish it I just had to let them know so they could do what was left. It was a small local company that just had one cardiology group account. Keep looking, you may find what you need yet!
Huh? It's scheduled for June 2. nm

Were you scheduled to work?
I know sometimes when I'm not scheduled to work but have to make up hours or lines, I don't get work when I log on.
I was slow yesterday but had work. (It was my scheduled weekend, for those who think I'm trying to steal work.)
not picky about punching in right when you are scheduled,
just so you get your work done. Also, remember the time clock and punching in out keeps track of your lines per hour which the more lines per hour the more you are paid. Its not bad at all!!!
Can't work when you're scheduled
They have plenty of work but can't get into their system. They either have too many working or not enough.
I'm scheduled to start soon, now I'm worried.
Somehow I'd gotten the idea they had improved their ways of treating people over the last year or so. I'm beginning to wonder if Focus is even worth trying out.
If you are working a scheduled shift, you are an

I work MY SCHEDULED Hours, do you?
Let's not fight about this. I stated some do not and then scramble on the weekends to make up time, then the work is low on Monday, WHICH IS MY SCHEDULED DAY.
If you are not scheduled to work the holiday, then
you shouldn't unless the call goes out for extra help.
If you jump on when you're not scheduled to work and you have all your hours and lines, you're just taking away from those that are scheduled to work. Don't be greedy.
If the holiday is your scheduled day to work....
then you work, unless you have pre-scheduled the time off. There is a holiday line bonus added onto lines worked on the holiday.
How do we figure when they say 1-1/2 lines ^outside^ of your scheduled hours
Is that your lines, i.e. 500 lines x1/2 = 750 lines total.
Is that what 1-1/2 lines mean? Confusing. How in the world can we tell if we get paid for those by the line counting method we use, Ichart?
At MQ you have to work your full scheduled hours.
They need the have all the hours covered for stats and such. I dont understand the 2 different offers for FT, I would think the latter would be PT. If you get paid by production then it would be entirely up to you how many hours you wanted to work a day. Does the 8 hour day pay more or have better benefits?
I was scheduled to work Christmas this year for TT as well....sm
But on Monday my DD went in for emergency surgery. I did not even come home for the first 2 days and only made 1 call to the office to explain early in the week. My DD was finally discharged on Christmas only to return to the ER last night. Do you know what TT's answer was with my 1 measly phone call and one abbreviated email I had time for to them? Family comes first - PERIOD. So, I am on trying to help out today if they need me and I will be GLAD to suffer thru some low work time and stare at a blank screen for a company who has those kinds of values. I VERYMUCH appreciate my job with TT and all that they stand for...
The sun'll come out tomorrow - saw in my bank that it's scheduled to go through then. (nm)

You bill 30 days behind, and they snail mail it so it's late - about 40 days from invoice
No way jose - they even messed up their direct deposit payments
Do the MQ firm scheduled start immediately or in January? nm
nm
For people with other things scheduled in a busy life
That does not work.
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.
Lanier accounts have specific scheduled times.

Once again OT offered - no work for my scheduled shift at Wbmdx. sm
I think OT is great, took advantage of some Friday myself, but for goodness sake, don't just go off for the weekend leaving OT offered when the counts are WAAAY down. Can the Solution Center take OT off or do they have to wait for supervisors/etc. to do so. When someone comes on for OT and they give them blocks of 10, doesn't take long to run the rest of us totally out of our shift. Love everything else about this company, but..... this sucks.
Workload has reached a manageable level with everyone working scheduled hours.
Voluntary OT is still available on some accounts.
Maybe she/he works 14 hour days/7 days a week? nm
x
Would that be 5 business days or 5 regular days?
So when are we going to be paid this time around since you're so knowledgable?
Sorry, but for some of us a day or 2 actually makes a difference.
Most want 20 hours over 5 days, but it could be more, or it could be spread over 4 days. nm

Correction - TH has 5 PTO days 1st year/10 days 2nd yr

It is true. Any job has its good days and bad days.
Perhaps you'd like to just keep your old job and try this one out. Just because a poster here is crabbing about it, or even if as in the past there have been negative posts, odds are that there are very happy people who don't even post or know that this board exists. As Alice says. Everything is relative. The fact that this company is hiring and pays may be a place which is a blessing. As opposed to digging ditches on day labor for example. Or somebody might prefer digging ditches. This is just an example. Sometimes we who are employable, even though we don't make as much as we used to in this business, or as much as we would like to, we still if working at home do not pay for gas to go to work, career clothes, deal with office politics, have to look at a boss who writes us up if we are a minute late, etcetera. I don't make half as much as I used to, but I don't send my 3 children to day care which by the way saves us money. SO I remind my husband I am worth that in addition to my salary if I had a job outside. No job is perfect. I am not even sure if Focus is any good or not, I have not worked there. But if one poster says there are good days and bad, I say that is the most honest answer you are going to get anywhere, and if you need a job badly, how is it to hurt trying it out, until you know for sure for yourself? THanks for listening. But sometimes this board gets to be a bit much with the agendas of people railing on other people like the OP here who just wanted all opinions instead of just one side. Balance is always great. And, if things seem lop-sided, then it is a good thing to seek out both sides. IMHO.
I think they would. Those are good days for 10-hour days. sm
I have a set schedule but it is Tues-Sat and it works well for me. It wouldn't hurt to ask!
90 days is correct. 3 days off 1st year, 10 during 2nd.
nm
Were the 2 days weekend days? sm
They expect everyone to work a weekend day. Their definition of team player is to actually work 6 or 7 days a week. One might consider it if the pay was there & she gave out some decent work. It is the ideal place to work if you are a workaholic with no life.
11 days is more than you would get inhouse...usually 10 days.
We have the convenience of working at home and yet you want MORE than what inhouse positions offer?
Ask if those are calendar days or biz days too nm

SUPERIOR
Does anyone know what Superior is paying for acute care? What about editing for acute care? I have been approached by them for this area and do not want to make a change that would put me in a worse position than I am in now. Do they have a lot of ESLs? I have read some of the previous posts about them - both good and bad. I am just looking to make a change, but want to be very careful and not get burned. My position now is part-time and I can get no answer as to when my workload will pick up. I am considering looking elsewhere for employment (part-time) as I only transcribe on an average of two days per week. I was thinking retail or something close by my home, as I live in a very populated city and there are many part-time jobs available. I hate to think about doing acute care for 8 or 9 cents per line. Thanks.
superior
everything the above replier says is true.
superior
 I heard from a very good source they require 2400 lines per day. Have not verified it.
Superior Global
You know - I left there 2 weeks ago. I know from a past experience - this company holds checks. You are one of the lucky ones who if you get your check on-time if they do not bounce. Does anyone know if contractors have any rights? Are they allowed to hold money even if the equipment has been returned?
Superior Global
I have been very happy with this company. The checks arrive on time and they leave me alone and let me do what I do best.
Superior Global
Just wondering if anyone knows anything good or bad about Superior Global - thanks
Superior Global
This company is a waste. First of all - they bounce checks to most of their employees. They say they do not outsource - but they do. The owners run and hide at payroll time -- constantly have their phones shut off, and the insurance is constantly canceled as they do not pay the premiums. Not to mention, they still owe the overseas group greater than 20,000.
Superior Global
I just heard the same story today. They don't pay!
I have never been in a situation where I broke my back typing for 15 days and had to beg for my money. I couldn't think of anything worse, except of course illness.
Superior Global
I completely agree, worked for them. Pay was not on time, typical excuses. I left there in a hurry. There are other jobs where they do pay on time believe me please.
Superior Global
Somebody asked about Superior Global a few weeks ago............the same things were said about not paying on time. This is not just a rumor. This is true...........Please listen or you will be out on the street waiting to get paid by this company............Unless they have changed.
Superior Global
I know that the small company that I was previously employed with lost all of their HCA accounts to Superior Global and most everyone that had worked with me went to work for them. I chose not to, as I was tired of radiology work. From what I hear, these people are happy. They are working on accounts that they have worked on in the past and have plenty of work. I don't know for a fact that they outsource, I just know that my friends are not hurting for work and like the change to Superior from the company we had worked for previously. They also had no compete contracts, but have not been legally pursued by the other company - probably because they lost all their accounts and can't afford to sue anyone now.
superior globa
True, true. You must have worked there the same time I did. I did have direct deposit and the first few times the pay was on time, but then around Christmas, we had to remind them that it was payday. the big account they lost when I was there was with a hospital in Alabama.
re: superior global
I received an email from this company in response to an email that I'd sent a long time ago. I did some research on a few different sites and found lots of negatives in regards to pay.
I emailed them back and stated that I was not seeking a position. I later thought about it and decided that I wanted to get the info directly from the source. I emailed the individual and stated that I had read that there were problems with MTs being paid in a timely matter and asked if this was true. I never received a response.
I don't want to work for any company who cannot pay me on time.
