That's baloney! I took me 5 weeks to get
Posted By: sm on 2008-09-22
In Reply to: Pay period ends on 15th, checks on the 20th. This - me
my first check but was told 2 weeks when they hired me (as an employee). They are NOT honest with their employees! R U the QA person who thinks they walk on water?

That is baloney (nm)
nm
Cut the baloney. I can tell you right now that every QA
I know works straight through a shift nonstop and that includes myself and all of us pull our weight in gold.
That kind of rationale is no better than what I see in the posts above. I have had plenty of experience having been a QA mgr as well and I can tell you, most do work more than 8 hours so I don't know who you have worked with, but if I work with them, they would not have a job. They would pull their weight and get paid a fair wage, just like I earn.
This is just so much baloney
I am having to move to a higher place to keep from stepping in it. The story just keeps getting more intriguing as time goes on. I have worked so many part time jobs on the side for various physicians and I have yet to have 1 single doctor take his billfold out. This is like as good as watching As the World Turns. Keep listening for more...
BALONEY
You just cannot do, confess.
Baloney.
.
keep up with the baloney. Folks sm
are not going to believe you no matter how much you protest. Just because a company says you make 98-99% doesn't mean they are checking.
Some of these companies aer as bad as the indian MTs they hire. They just let stuff go through and don't check at all. There is no way your quality can be taht good. Been in this business too many years and have seen the braggers like you and when they are actually put to the test you find out their work is not as good as they claim.
I would love to QA you stuff myself.
Need some cheese to go with that baloney?
What a transparent inside post!
Where is it defined what this board is for?
You say it is for comments on companies which is a broad definition but certainly includes the scope of commenting on poor BUSINESS practices -
And IF there WAS only one disgruntled (perhaps actually WRONGED?) employee, then that person's comment(s) would not have been able to snowball.
The company in question should have, a long time ago, attempted to address the complaints against them, you know maybe a BEER summit (hey it worked for those not paying attention)! Instead they appear to have escalated the situation and now it may spiral out of control.
I SAY BOTH SIDES TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND CALL A BEER (OR WINE) SUMMITT.
The ONLY PARTIES WHO WILL WIN HERE are the lawyers!!!
Hogwash! lol. What a bunch of baloney.
The program is theirs, the content is yours. It is my understanding that MQ will, or at least used to, help you to transfer over your content from another program when you are hired.
I can think of a few people I'd like to amputate the baloney from...
... present company excepted, of course. :)
Time for a baloney amputation
If they are only covering third shift and weekends, where has all the work gone? Having spent many many years in-house, I know while there is dictation on weekends it is less than through the week, and on third shift the amount that trickles in is negligible. So where is the stuff going that is dictated between 7 a.m. and even 7 p.m. M-F going, when the majority of dictation is done?
Forgot to say, the 3 cents line is baloney.

gentlemen, this is our phoney baloney jobs on the
line!!!
Sorry to mix my favorite pictures up here, but that really is a crock of it! Look, when you tell the SEC you have a goal to increase your percentage of work being offshored, it has to do with the bottom line WITHOUT deference to who's on first (or second or third). I had been willing to at least listen to Transcend, but when this load gets hauled in and dumped in front of me like I don't know the real deal, well, I know I can't be alone in thinking Transcend needs to back the truck up and leave well enough alone with its horn blowing.
There is no way to win on this board if you are an MTSO. Fair or not, that is the way it is. The same way that corporations are bought and sold (or merged) everyday - IT'S JUST BUSINESS!!
And yes, I won't be leaving a tip, 'cause I could... I could shut this whole resort down. Sir? I'll take my traveler's checks to a competing resort. I could write a letter to your board of tourism and I could have this place condemned. I could put... I could put... strychnine in the guacamole.
Yes, they offer I think 4 weeks at full pay or 8 weeks at half pay. Call the office
and talk to them about it. You wont lose your job. They aren't like that.
Also a few weeks for me sm
The real problem has not been getting used to DQS, but the fact that so many transcriptionists are doing the accounts, I may have to type from 5 or 6 different hospitals to get my lines in each day. The switching has slowed me down much more than the DQS itself.
It took 2 weeks to get an ID, but they kept following up sm
with me until it came in. They told me this upfront, so it was not a surprise. I was working out my notice at another company during that time, so it was a smooth transition for me. If you do not get something you need, call the office. They have always responded well for me and taken care of things quickly.
2 weeks' for nothing
Its hard to believe that when in the last few months we have been barely having work and we are not compensated in any way whatsoever. Just like its not your fault that the account you are to work on its not our fault that we are running out of work. I say lets give the loyal employees who keep sticking with TT through this very dry drought some kind of compensation if for nothing else than for sticking around.
Pay is ever 2 weeks
Not twice a month like most companies, doesn't seem like much of a difference but it's at least 2 more pay checks a year. Payperiods end on a Sunday and the check is in the bank the next Saturday.
i got one a few weeks ago
I got one a few weeks ago. I just told her that I had a position and only wanted radiology right now. I have also as someone else replied gotten a postcard before, I believe last year or the year before.
2 weeks
when you put in a 2 week notice, do most of the MTOS just let you go right then.......or do they let you finish out your 2 weeks? Just curious.
It took me about three weeks,
but was well worth the wait, I love working at Keystrokes!  They treat their employees like human beings and not just a number. I never run out of work either
2 weeks
Usually they let you finish your out your 2 weeks.
If you don't give 2 weeks...most times they mark your termination papers as not to rehire.
Hope this helps
Every 2 weeks. nm

Every 2 weeks.
Works out better than twice a month.
I have only been there about 6 weeks and
there were several days where others were complaining they had multiple accounts and out of work on all of them. Judging my the backlog reports it looks like work has picked up considerably. They are fixing to go live with 2 more accounts so there should be plenty of work. They don't pay for downtime though. It seems there are always accounts that have been approved for OT though, so I guess if you want to have several backups the work is there. So far I don't have a backup account and I'm staying busy now and even able to work OT.
They pay every two weeks. Sm...
and you will get your paycheck on a regular schedule via direct deposit.
I'm about to take off 2 weeks plus
and I feel guilty about it. I'm both an employee for one company and an IC for another. I actually feel worse about taking off the time as an IC because my company is so good about giving me the exact amount of minutes I've committed to each day, and I know it's a hardship when an IC is gone for that long. This was scheduled and they were notified well in advance, and I probably won't take off any other time until the next vacation which I'm sure will be months if not more than a year down the road. Still, I feel guilty leaving my company in the lurch.
Every 2 weeks. nm

I don't think in the last few weeks or so...
A few weeks ago most of you were saying SM
that this idea wouldn't fly and that you still wouldn't seek the credential. Am I hearing some concern now?????
A little. I did some QA for about 2 weeks for
my 1-woman MTSO when she was trying to help out another MT on a very temporary basis. I never would have done it otherwise and wasn't happy about it. Anyway, the files were from Pakistan and they were atrocious. It took me twice as long to edit them as it would have taken to just transcribe them myself in the first place because I had to listen to the whole file and not just fix glaring errors, but rewrite entire sections that were in terrible, broken English and/or they had gotten the entire phrase incorrect, changing its meaning. It was very frustrating time-consuming work and I told her I would never do it again, not only because the quality was horrific, but because I didn't want to participate in any type of offshoring, even for a friend.
It took me a couple of weeks...
had to get all those shortcuts in but once you get used to it, it is okay. I always keep track of how many reports I do and I don't look at line count until I do so many. I can get my required line count in 6 hours or less and when I first started it was a lot longer than that. So, it does get better. 
Go for it!! I started 3 weeks ago. (sm)
They have a super training team. You get an immediate reply when you send an email to ANYONE at Medware. They are a great bunch of people and very helpful. Bonnie (recruiter) has always been there for me and I am on a team with a great Team Leader and Lead Transcriptionist.
I am on the Merit side and love it. It is an excellent program and soooo MT friendly!!
2 weeks notice?
I am considering leaving MQ. As an IC, if I give two weeks' notice will they let me work out the two weeks, or will they just have me quit immediately? I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with this. I am looking at starting with another company. I am perfectly willing to give two weeks' notice, but at the same time I don't want them to just dump me immediately and not have any work until I start with the new company.
Did I say that clearly??
2 weeks' notice
I was an employee, not IC, gave my 2 weeks, had no problems with working those 2 weeks out. They asked me to stay on part-time if I could do 20 hrs, 6000 lines per pay....
Yes, for 2 weeks, which is easy on the
That works out to be 200 lines an hour. What type of work do you do?
I think there's about it takes about 2 weeks...
There's a processing time of about 2 weeks I believe, paperwork has to be sent to certain people and equipment has to be ordered and sent out to you. I'm not aware of it being based according to pay period. Just a side note, be sure you have DSL and if you don't, you'll need to order it right away to enable you to start on time.
I would definitely give 2 weeks, as well.
I wouldn't want to burn bridges.
as of about three weeks ago the had not fixed anything
ugh!!!!!
Not necessarily 2 weeks (sm)
It depends on how fast you pick up their excellent system. Your reimbursed after so many months for your expenses out of pocket. No charge for the use of their computer which they maintain excellently. No one looking over your shoulder. What more could a happy MT ask for. Excelent work environment.
I left them after a few weeks..sm
The staff is great and pay is on time every other Wednesday..the co. is very fair. I hated the platform that I was on..MedType (DOS-run)...I don't know about rad. Some accounts use MedRite. If they had a decent platform..I'd still be with them.
With Transcend 3 weeks now,
so far okay. But not passing judgment yet. I will see when I am off my 90 day probation. So far QA has been okay. I'm still very slow.
Hired 2 weeks ago and still
wondering why
Two weeks' notice
Wow! Somebody's actually getting decent treatment! That is news!! I bet there's a lot of very wistful, envious people reading your post of which I am one. I've never had that experience myself.
I will, I am fairly new, 4 weeks. nm
x
He left weeks ago for another job
and the new HR person has already started. Since previous was there for a long time this is just one of those things I guess, move up the ladder at another company. No ill will, but that was about a month ago.
did mine 2 weeks ago too
I don't think the call went quite an hour, but pretty close to that. I was applying for clinic work, so maybe that's why once I passed the verbal quiz I was told a written/typing test would not be necessary. If you're applying for acute care it may be different. At the least, I'd imagine it's tougher.
The verbal quiz I got was dirt easy, though. How many cranial nerves are there? Sheesh.
6 weeks first check
I'm wondering if it's me, or does anyone else think it is not right about starting a company and having to wait 6 weeks for the first check? I applied to a company and they said if a person works 5/1 thru 5/31, the first check would be 6/13, and that would cover the first 2 weeks worked. This is the second company I have found like that. Even with direct deposit - that is a long time.
6 weeks first check
This information should have been explained to you during the hiring process. Did you ask about this during your initial inquiry with the company? If not, you should have. This would have been a deal breaker for me.
I have been posting about this for weeks..
Work is very low...whatever is there gets eaten up VERY fast and I heard some MT's are doing more than they say and they have overhired.
The OT has been months, not weeks! Very old! sm
Most of the people there are great. Sharmz is correct that they way they manage their accounts is odd. It just doesn't work they way they do it.
Sharmz, you'll probably get an email from the HR person or call the office (Erica I think) and they'll send out a call ticket for the computer.
Let us know how Axoltol is.
