Catch up with the times. Unfortunately, MTSOs are in
For those who still need the personal one-on-one attention, they should go back inhouse or get their own accounts.
LOL x2! or LOL times 2! Thanks. I guess I was just
Guess I missed them many times.
Will not trouble you further.
A lot of times, if they need extra help, they will over 1-1/2 times our regular rate. sm
This is the equivalent of OT but you get it even if you have not done 40 hours already. I have also received AmerExp gift cards a few times for incentives offered. I think it depends on the account.
I do know for sure that they are working on an incentive program but I have no details and not even sure if they are still looking at it.
I do know for sure that I make more $$ with Keystrokes than I have ever made anywhere else.
are on to catch up.

It's a catch-22 sm
It can be pretty hard for people who need insurance (no spouse with good insurance, etc) to take a job (even if it is with a wonderful company) where the insurance is too expensive for them to afford until enough people come on board to get a lower group insurance. If you come from a company where you had insurance and can afford to keep it via COBRA until the company has enough people to participate in the group insurance, then maybe it can work out. However, if it takes too long, then you are in deep trouble because the COBRA only lasts so long.
Looks like OSI can't catch a break
Good catch on that - sm
I don't want to try out new and improved if the last was old and crappy.
Yes I an employee and I don't see any catch.
The majority of the companies do not reimburse LD/internet fees. They did loan me a C-phone for free, most won't supply or they rent them to you.
Doing away with my home phone and getting digital phone actually lowers my expenses, as my costs from BellSouth/AT&T were more than my digital line is, so I don't see that I'm out anything.
In the ads they clearly state you need ULD and they don't mention anything about reimbursement. They have been completely up front about it and you can make your choice, go with them or don't.
You still have today to catch up. nm
nm
Actually they are offering it, must be a catch, but they
xx
If you don't catch all the nonsense
nm
Did you catch the errors after you sent it
Or did the company call them to your attention?
You can always correct the errors and resend it, asking them to disregard the first submission if you caught the errors.
it's such a catch 22. Everybody wants cheap stuff yet
and get paid top dollar. You simply cannot have both. Not with the CEOs having million dollar salaries and all. because God forbid they make less than six figures. it's disgusting...
Sign on bonuses-What's the catch?
Hi. When a company offers something like a $1000 sign-on bonus in one of their classified ads, what conditions do MTs usually have to meet to actually qualify for just such a bonus, and if those conditions are met, how long does the MT usually have to wait for the bonus? I am personally not looking for a new job right now, but when I see those adds, I ALWAYS think - Yeah, right, what's the catch?
Horrid hours.. thats the catch SM
I have to wonder, what hourly rate are they setting you up for?
No, I did not catch the joke, thought you were serious
When you spoke of the labor board was wondering why contact them about this. Do you work doing VR or straight? I personally think 3 cents a line is ridiculous for VR. I make what I am satisfied with on VR because I find my platform easy, very good with ESLs BUT I do not think VR will take over completely. I have done VR now for about 7 years and you cannot just leave a machine to run and not check behind it sometime, such it is with VR.
Brilliant! a real catch-22
And you cannot keep copies because of HIPPA so you cannot win.
funny, I catch this ad at top of screen
U.S. Based proofers? Kinda curious needing MTs to clean up the reports, geez
9.9 Cents / 65 Char. line
U.S. Based Proofers, Almost Inhouse 98.5% Quality, 24 Hour TAT

"Twisting the Knob" - right??? That's why it's so hard to catch them
include or exclude characters or letters to count.
Yep, my work is low this week too. Previouly, however, we could not catch it up. Is it all the ..SM
new hires, do you think? They haven't told me to take the day off or anything, but there are big gaps in my downloads. I love QT but it's times like these that make my eyes wander to the ads. Funny how when we're busy, I type faster, too. When it's like this, I just casually and nonchalantly go about typing during the day, getting up and down as I please, no hurry at all. Maybe I'll start looking at part-time supplements -- then if work runs really dry, I'l already have my foot in the door somewhere else.
We have been slammed with work and plaing catch up
doesnt make sense to me
No company name given. Now that's a shock. What's the catch?? I doubt the adminstrator will le
stay there anyway so you better apply before it gone LOL..I just don't feel gullible or vulnerable today..
Nope, not a catch. The only thing you need to do to qualify I think is have been there one year in
to be eligible. They pay like four weeks at full pay (your average weekly earnings) or eight weeks at half pay. Your choice. They strongly believe that it's the right thing to do.
Notice the "up to $2500" - sounds like a catch - be careful with this one
nm
I found Medrite to be slow -- would type and watch it try to catch up with me. sm
I went from 250-300 lph to 180-200 lph with it. Plus it has this spy stuff (I called it), where if you are gone longer than such amount of time, when you come back, you have to say why you were gone (it has things to choose from). I didn't care for it, but obviously some must.
Good luck! 
It's Monday. Everyone plays catch up on Monday. Give 'em
s
Me too. I got cut off one too many times.

I can't tell you how many times....
this has happened to me! It's as if they either don't listen, or don't want to hear that you are only able to take X amount of work each day. Don't you feel taken advantage of? The only solution I've found is to leave the MTSO and keep looking for someone who will respect your requests. It's tough to bounce around like that, but I don't think your existing MTSO will change. Good luck.
I think so, although at times the
communication can be not so great. I don't know how many MTs KS has, though they seem to be growing so fast that the number is subject to change weekly, but there is still a small feel to it. The owner is fairly forthcoming with information, at least from what I have seen thus far.
Here are the times - SM
If your last name starts with the letter A through F: 10 AM
If your last name starts with the letter G through O: 11:30 AM
If your last name starts with the letter P through Z: 2 PM
You have said that 3 times...
Who are you trying to convince? If the hourly QCs were worried about quality instead of their own prestige and how much money they make, things might have been different....
Not at the times it happens. Not at all....
Anyone who has done this for a while knows that there are slowdowns around major holidays, like T-giving, Christmas, 4th of July. At my other companies, I did not run out of work on May Day, Cinco DE Mayo, Columbus Day...you get the idea. They overhire. Period. They have a right to do so. The MTs you lose due to that practice are the high producers with stellar accuracy ratings, not those who shall have trouble finding other jobs.
How many times can you do that?
It takes at least 90 days to get benefits at a new company. It is not just an easy decision to move on. If you can't get that concept then just skip the messages by the MTs who have every legitimate right to complain about these companies.
Why don't you think before you post such flippant answers?
In times like these...
Ya'll, in times like these, I tell myself. Self, the ink has already dried on the paper, nothing can be changed. There is no use getting heart palpitations/angina over it. From past experiences, most everybody knows what is going to happen. Now, I tell myself, when the time comes, you have to consider all the pros and cons from all sides and then make a rational decision. I remember when MQ went through this and all the hair pulling-out and teeth gnashing (myself included) that went on. If you cannot accept what is written in concrete, you (I) need to make a decision and go for it. In the meantime, I will put my nose to the grindstone, tighten my proverbial budget belt, and work as hard as I can and try and save some money for a rainy day.
P.
Again and I have said it many times sm
before......it has only become like this since the schools have advertised MT as a work at home job! Also those who only got into this profession soley for the fact of working at home......I really feel bad for you.
The MT profession is an honorable profession to be in. It is about the patients and never should have been represented as it has been in the last 10 or so years. This has what has brought it to the level it has become.
Tried to start with them 3 times
I was offered a position with them, gave notice in-house, then they called me the day before I was supposed to start and said the had lost the account. A similar situation happened 2 other times.
Times change. It's not about YOU, it's about
what the reality is today, not four months ago.
Congratulations on your windfall, though.
If you have doubts, email or call the person who hired you and they'll verify this.
last year I was down quite a few times because of
evacuations. Just decided to move out of Florida instead.
DISHONEST TIMES 2!
I transcribed 1,195 lines and ichart reflected only 154.08 lines the next day! I documented line counts every day, and for one pay period it was 2500 lines off on their end! - disqualified from benefits too. NO answer from supervisor.
This has been discussed many times over the last
few weeks. Do a search of this site and you will find many posts. You can scroll down or go to the second page and probably even the third page at the bottom and find posts from people who work there. I know I am very happy. They are a very nice company with excellent benefits.
I have said many times for two years
That I am with Medware, they treat me fair and keep me in work. The line rate is higher that MQ where I spent 4 years, the insurance coverage at Medware is $17/week for United Healthcare, the incentive plan is attainable, we get direct deposit every other Friday. They treat you fairly. Sometime I wish I did not read this board, but I still believe there are those who are looking for a better company and ask for information. I happen to like working for Medware. Calling someone an idiot is rude, I guess one must consider the source. Time to go to work.
RE work times
Yes, that would probably work. My experience was that they would download work to you at night and it was available that evening and through the next day. Like I said, you kind of make your own schedule within the window of time they need it back. You may need more than one doctor though if you want 6 hours of work per day of steady work. I had 4 doctors, one that dictated 1 1/2 hours a day and one that dictated every other day but had 5 hours of work each time. It varies by who you have for doctors. You can make them aware that you would like that many hours and they can accomodate it I'm sure. Only one thing you need to know though is NO DIRECT DEPOSITS and they use snail mail unless you pay to have it expressed.
I have answered that many times.
If you don't want to provide that info you don't have to but they don't have to review your incomplete application either.
I used it a couple of times and liked it. nm
x
Yes.....and I have done that way too many times and that makes me.....
worry about identify theft. Make sure you keep a record of who you send this info too just in case! 
My AC and TL have also called me many times not just ops
Like I said one AC is real bad about it, maybe you don't have the same one.
Someone has asked about them at least 5 times
this week. If you'll scroll down the page you'll find info, also check archives. Nothing good. Indian company with a store front office in US.
Lots of times
There are many times when I want a hard copy of something, be it emails, articles, etc. I have been around long enough to know computers do go down and information lost. It is also a safety net.
They have contacted me 3 times about
working for them, but I have turned them down so I don't know much about them. They have several different platforms that they work with, most at internet-based where you type real-time into the cyst. I have 20 years of experience in acute care and I think they offered me 8 cpl.
how many times have we seen this same post now?
