Never heard of RBS before. Says they also handle actors as agents. Interesting...perhaps a multifaceted corporation. Thanks for your help.

did anyone get a response from the original poster? this post is just fishy, especially since they

Correction to my above post. I just looked
and I apologize. I had to wait until the 1st of the next month, not the 15th (maybe it just seemed longer) for that money to be in the bank. So for that payroll from the 1st until the 15th, I had to wait until the 1st (though the payroll was late). Guess all the waiting just seemed longer. That still is the longest I have had to wait for a payday. So when I quit, I also had the same thing. I just went through the paperwork.
In any event it SEEMED like a very long time and particularly with some of the paydays being late.
I do apologize as I certainly do not like to give incorrect info.
When you have kids though it does hurt. In other words, I started on the 1st of the month and first paycheck was not until the 1st of the next month except it was late.
Oops, sorry. Looked at wrong post.

yep, very fishy.....sm
Shapin does have an ad looking for editors on another job board too.
And that is what I think is so fishy about them.

Something fishy sm
Googled DocXpress...no results pertaining to an MTSO or MT company or transcription came up.
The email address that the person leaves in the post has the domain name of naturalhealthway.com. I typed www.naturalhealthway.com in my browser, and the website has nothing to do with transcription, either.
Wondering what the dillio with that post is all about, to be honest...
Looks like something fishy here...
LOL.
something fishy
I work for a company that promotes VR all the time now forcing us to move to it and I know I will have to move to VR for less pay or leave the company which I have always liked until now. I don't understand. We are running out of work because VR is getting most of it but when I looked up old reports I see that my supervisor is typing them. Makes me real suspicious. We don't have enough work anyway unless you work VR then my supervisor is typing reports. I wonder if the company is in trouble or if everybody has just quit? I can't say the name of the company here
Fishy is right
I even checked with supe to see if there were server problems. Just told, Sorry it's unusually slow today. I'm usually told to check back later but they didn't even suggest that! It's almost as if all the jobs on my account were *manually* removed and outsourced to other MTs.
That sounds fishy to me!

Sounds fishy
Does sound a little fishy. Thanks for the replies.
Sounds fishy...
All my MTs are ICs and they are all responsible for purchasing their own software, equipment, etc. It sounds like this company is making a decent buck on software programs...do the math (# of MTs x $25/month = ??). I wouldn't work there if I were you. It also sounds like you MTs are paying for their accounting paperwork every month. That should be a business expense for the company, not the MT. JMHO. 
Something fishy here.....see message
I live in Atlanta and I just called the management company who manages 945 East Paces Ferry. They do not have a tenant who is leasing under the name of JAX Transcription. There are several businesses at this address with various suite numbers. They confirmed that Transcend is a tenant, but there is no record of a Jax Transcription.
The person who is posting ads needs to be more forthright. What's the deal here?
Sounds fishy to me
and my tax refund is spent.
Something sounds fishy here.
Someone mentioned that your company would never know if you erased and retyped (but they would b/c they could monitor keystrokes) and you said they were their rules so you're sticking by them. I agree with that. But now you're saying that they're the hospital rules. There is no way the hospital can monitor your Keystrokes or even has the time to monitor the keystrokes of every single report that goes through their system. That is internal data of the company. There is no way the hospital would know if you erased and retyped.
Sounds fishy
While I was reading your post, even before you mentioned, it, I thought this sounded like an inside job. I agree that you should contact a lawyer or at least fight for unemployment. Also, file a lawsuit against the company since you have proof that you did not submit the resignation. Maybe a lawyer would have success in getting a court order to obtain more details from Yahoo regarding the identity of the sender of that fraudulent email.
This sounds fishy to me.

Sounds fishy to me, too
We were all notified by e-mail. Why on earth would someone miss anything as important as a conference call?
Something is fishy if the email is returned and you
respond directly to the one sent to you. I would just forget trying to contact them. It sounds too strange.
Sounds pretty fishy, to me. - sm
What would the patients' meeting their deductibles have to do with anything?
The hospital telling MTSO & MTs not to log on would make me nervous. Could be they're just about to lose that account.
At the very least, I'd be putting feelers out there for other possible job opportunities. $42/pay period is unacceptable, as is being told to 'be patient'. Will your creditors 'be patient' when you can't pay them? I don't think so.
Somewhere along the line, people who employ MTs seem to have forgotten that this isn't just a HOBBY with us - we're trying to make an actual living at this.
Not fishy. Just a transcriptionist who has worked for
2 companies which did not count correctly and after having done a minute to line comparison finding that the present job is not counting correctly either. Perhaps the wording is awkward. Should have asked who counts lines with a correct line to minute ratio. And you know what that means if you have been in the business long enough.
There is something fishy going on, you ask where the work is and they hem and haw. I am about histo
I am sure they overhired or it is going to speech, Idon't know how that works but usually when the work dries up on a lucrative account, speech is involved.
I agree. Sounds way fishy to me.nm

Sounds fishy...methinks
Seems like you could have contacted the IRS and told them the situation and provided bank statements that showed you didn’t get paid the 50,000. I would have done that. The banks send the IRS paperwork every year on what your interest is anyways, so they have a record of what your account has looked like. You paid the money for 50,000 you didn't get to the IRS instead? That seems odd to me. Who would do that? I would call the IRS and tell them what happened. When I file taxes through Turbo Tax it actually asks if you need any of your forms ammended. I would have called and asked for them to help me get it ammended.
Funny, I was hired at 9 CPL. Something is fishy. nm

Very Fishy Story He's Telling You
I have 3 different platforms installed on my Vista laptop at the moment, and none of them are having trouble with the others living there too. Something doesn't sound right.
Can you afford to buy a separate computer? Perhaps one of those netbooks for $300 or so, and then hook it up to your (old) big monitor and keyboard? That would eliminate OSi from even needing to know that you are working for anyone or what other platforms you're using.
It sounds like a sneaky way to enforce an ILLEGAL non-compete agenda to me.
Hmmm...sounds kinda fishy to me.
They need to give you a straight answer.
There's something fishy here. The anti-KS troll is back!
I make 9.5 cpl after 2 years. Someone is trying to stir up trouble again.
We give up on your naysayers. Great company, but if you choose to believe it's fishy, your loss.

Maybe the one you got looked better
The one I received appeared childish and not at all professional.
Looked them up.......
and it said there was 1 employee. Maybe it is a 1-woman business and she needs help for a while. That would explain not paying on time (she has to wait to get paid before she can pay anyone else). I would proceed with caution.
have you ever actually looked into this??? SM
YES, you can't get benefits for half, but the coverage is all but worthless! Basically covers a disaster and nothing more. HUGE deductibles, etc. So yes, you can get an insurance policy for half the cost, but for what? Trust me, I have spent hours researching this for my own family when we needed our own benefits. It was awful.
Just looked
At their hospital list and they definitely ARE NOT hospitals that they service, they couldn't possibly, as a lot of the hospitals are accounts that I work on for Medquist
yea i looked
yea i have looked an the job seekers forum but did not see anything. i have no idea where else to look. i really want to find something online though.
Just looked
Don't know anything about SS, but I looked at the posts and they are really stupid and very immature. Also served no purpose whatsoever.
I never really looked at it that way....

Have you looked in the............. sm
yellow pages at the physician listings lately? The Indian physicians are coming to the US where they can make money off of insurance companies, Medicare and Medicaid.
I worked for an Indian physician in the 1990s and he told me that he was thrilled to be able to come to America to do his residency where he made $5 an hour reading telemetry strips and EKGs while completing the residency program. He told me that doctors in India make so little because there is no insurance program there, and even if there were, the majority of Indians are so poor they couldn't afford it.
We Americans tend to forget that not every country in the world is as highly developed as we are in terms of health care, technology and even general living conditions.
Well, DUH! Guess I could have looked that up, eh? (LM)
(Smacking myself for being not so smart.) Thanks!
Well, I DID look it up, and this is what I found for my state. (I would think that working on a platform that is unreliable and defective, in addition to losing more than half of what I had been making, in addition to management's knowledge for several months now that the program doesn't work and refusal to fix it -- might fit into one of these categories).
VOLUNTARY QUIT
UC Law provides, in part, that a claimant shall be ineligible for benefits for any week in which his/her unemployment is due to voluntarily leaving work without cause of a necessitous and compelling nature. A claimant who voluntarily quits continuing work has the burden of proof in establishing good cause for quitting; and, that such cause was real and substantial, leaving the claimant no other alternative. The burden is on the claimant to show that, prior to quitting continuing employment, he/she made every reasonable effort to maintain the employer-employe relationship.
Following are examples of some common voluntary quit situations.
Due to unsuitable work - When an employe accepts a position, he/she admits to the initial suitability of the position with respect to its wages and the conditions of employment. When a claimant quits because he/she feels the job was unsuitable, the claimant must show there were changes in the conditions of employment, to which he/she did not agree upon, that made the job unsuitable, or there was deception on the part of the employer with regard to the conditions of employment at the time of hire, or he/she shall be considered ineligible. The suitability of the work will be determined by considering factors such as the degree of risk involved to the claimant's health, safety and morals; the claimant's physical fitness; the claimant's prior training and experience; the distance of the available work from the claimant's residence; the prevailing condition of the labor market; and the prevailing wage rates in the trade or occupation.
Job not the same as what was anticipated - To be eligible, the claimant must show that the monetary expectations of employment were not fulfilled through no fault of the claimant. For example, a claimant takes a job selling vacuum cleaners because he/she has been told he/she could make $50,000 per year through commission sales. After three weeks, the claimant quits the job because he/she was unable to make any sales and the personal expenses exceeded the income, thereby warranting the allowance of benefits.
I looked at it and don't thing that gives

I see 206 people have looked at
this post but not one commented back on a specific. Guess that means all is okay out here in MT land. Cuckoo. Cuckoo.
I looked in the Archives.
its in there.
Have you looked for work lately
Evidently you have not changes jobs lately, you are lucky to get 8 with tons of experience.
Exactly why the business is looked upon as
housewives doing not much of anything except just typing. I guess you put the above on your resume, huh, rearing children?
i looked at the article...
and it still does not clear up the line count issue for me at all. : (
I looked inside...
You are wrong on this one. There is no problem with a company requiring a certain number of lines from an IC. They cannot tell you which hours to work, but they can require a certain end result. Get it? Go back and read the IRS definition of an IC. 
duh, I never even looked at your moniker
I would ask for a different primary, but I'm not sure I would go into details with your liason at the risk of jeopardizing a good working relationship with him/her. Good luck.
Look again. I just looked at their website. SM
It states on the homepage in the first paragraph -- all Encompass employees reside in the United States.
Also states under Why Encompass? U.S. based transcriptionists -- never outsourced overseas.
OP said she looked in archives..
But I will take you up on that as I also thought of applying.
I have just looked at their benefits sm
I work for TT right now and the benefits, incentives, etc. are similar. I am very happy and comfy at TT and will stay there. Nothing worth switching for.
I saw that ad and looked suspicious to me.
Anytime there isn't a legit company name or phone number and/or town, makes me wonder. Maybe his name is Balla Honor;-) AKA no honor involved at all.
have you looked at the job board
Most you're lucky if you see 8 cpl. hmmmmm.... this business is going down the tubes quick....
Just had a friend tell me - was offered 5.00 per report for long dictations and 5 cpl for short ones, but need to work weekends as an IC - yeah right. Are we back in the 80s??????
