The skinny on Spheris rehire
Posted By: Spheris Sup. on 2005-07-27
In Reply to: Offered me as well but when I applied back - they said no since I had left!
The fact is...
When you terminate, your supervisor checks a little box at the end of your form that says "rehire" or "No-rehire."
If you quit without notice, or if you quit just to go work with someone else without giving your supervisor a chance to make things better, quit without any reason, or if you were especially difficult while you were working with the company with lots of production or quality warnings, etc., you will probably be more susceptible to the no-rehire-box check.
If not, then you certainly should be able to be rehired if the rehire box was checked.

OSi - what's the skinny?
x
All Type, Inc., inside skinny
I just tested with All Type, Inc., in New Jersey for a PM position for OP notes only. I have read the most recent posts, but would like more comment on whether this is a reputable company to work for, what the integrity of the supervisory staff is like (seems like they have gone back on some agreements), accounts, QA, work load, voice quality, platform(s) are. Any information is much appreciated. I am working for a company that I like and account that I like, but they constantly overhire, and I keep running out of work.
I'm a skinny well-paid whiner and don't use a mouse.

Make them give you the skinny before you go through the crap. (sm)
Their recruiters are probably the rudest you will meet, simply horrible and so unqualified or uneducated. They are a small company trying to look big. Probably have about 400-500 employes.
Inside skinny on MedScribe and ChartNet
I have read every posted comments on MedScribe and ChartNet, but many of the posts were from three years ago. I just hired on as full-time MTwith MedScribe of Jacksonville, FL, and I would appreciate any input on the company, personnel, and the platform (ChartNet). Any comments on either subject? Thanks. I lost a couple of accounts after years (cheaper the office managers said but did not answer me if American or Indian companies) and now I am back working for a lower line rate. Comments on productivity would be appreciated, too.
They can still say that they would not rehire you, which is bad.
They just can't give specifics or personal opinions, i.e. late all the time or lazy worker.
I think HappyMQer is a rehire at MQ but not sure
layoff/rehire
That email offering a bonus was not sent out to everyone. Only a limited number of individuals/
Idea for you to try for rehire. sm
Go directly to Lee. She knows that circumstances change. She is a softie at heart but does not admit it :)
Must be a skinny person who thinks it's that easy. If it were, trust me, we'd all be thin.
No one wants to be overweight, noone what to contemplate surgery, but I think there is a conscious choice to want to live and will do anything to keep doing that with a decent quality of life. It's not always by choice that people are overweight. All I can think of here is ....empathy.. and I applaud anyone who cares enough about living to do whatever it takes, no matter how drastic. For some, it's their last chance to live so spare us all with the Just diet and exercise speech.
What is the deal with not being eligible for rehire? nm
All a company can do is put you on a do not rehire list.
If you put them on your resume as a reference they can by law only answer the dates you were employed. Nothing else. If you give notice they can put you on the rehire list or not. You decide. These are the legal facts. Not to say they may do other things. But if you are a good MT and you want to work for a reputable company it should not be a problem. Re: black list passed around: There are rumors of it, but when I hired I would have paid no mind to it, rather judged for myself through interview and researching references. Good luck to you. It is a slow time of year, the only reason you may not hear back right away from potential employers.
Yep, I wish they'd rehire me. About 2 weeks ago I e mailed the owner
Then her admin asst sent me the sheet with questions right away too... they said they were very interested. After that, nothing. I e mailed the assistant and she said HR got the form, but I never heard again. Maybe I got blacklisted from the bad experience last year. I am really sorry for what happened, trying to juggle 2 jobs, and especially for losing face with KS. However, if they felt I was not a good fit, that is their choice. I can promise the stars but if they felt I was not a good fit, I truly understand and won't bug them again. I am, however, extremely happy for everyone who gets to work there, and I am glad I had a chance last year. I just blew it! My bad.
Yes, if you left on good terms, you can be eligible for rehire. nm
.
I gave notice and was told had to work final weeks in order to be eligible for rehire. Had no

I still feel like a team player of Spheris, as the shackle scars are still on my legs! Spheris was
Micromanaged to the microsecond, or ms! Horrible. And part of a team? Total opposite - part of a team as in prison.
Don't imply you're worried at all. Just stating fact that Spheris does NOT allow a Spheris MT
work concurrently for MQ - no exceptions. MQ, on the other hand, does not have the same feelings as Spheris. Just all I had to say so that MTs aren't misled into thinking they can do the same "legally". Even went to the ropes on this issue with Spheris, as I was professional as well, and wouldn't share info, etc. The point they raised was that MQ is their direct #1 competition, and if I was typing for MQ and doing great work, that was in direct conflict of interest with Spheris' best interests. Guess which one I obviously stuck with!!
Thank you, Spheris recruiter! Anybody wanna place a bet that there are lots of Spheris
HELP WANTED ads on the job board?? So funny!! Out of the blue, Spheris, we love you!! Lets all run and apply NOW!!
I also know Spheris would fire you if they knew you worked for MQ. That is a BIG NO with Spheris!
nm
Spheris - any spheris employees out there care to s/m
comment on the new Cornerstone platform, good, bad? Will we all be going to SR on this? Thanks.
My experience with Spheris isn't bad at all. I have been with Spheris sm
6 months and already have 40 hours PTO. I was shocked. Spheris is a great company. After 90 days I did get my sign on bonus and didn't even have to ask. There is soooooooooooooooo much that Spheris offer I wasn't even aware of. I am so glad that I didn't listen to the negative posts on this board in regards to Spheris because I am a happy camper.
MQ vs Spheris
I worked for MQ about 5 years ago. I wouldn't recommend them. Not enough time to go into it. I understand things may have changed, but I still wouldn't recommend them. From what I've read on boards, they haven't changed.
I've been with Spheris for almost three months now and I really like it. I'm making good money working Mon-Fri and I'm not getting hounded by a supervisor for petty stuff. I enjoy working for Spheris. I say, give them a try!
Spheris is
Spheris is hiring for all shifts, PT and FT, acute and clinic. I've been with them for about a year now and am really happy there, after having worked for 2 other nationals that I didn't have such great experiences with.
I'd be happy to pass your resume along to a recruiter, if you'd like, or answer any questions you have. My email is carasoffice@yahoo.com.
Good luck!
Spheris...
They tell everyone that - not to say you are not a good MT. But I was too, but when I reapplied, they said no - I think because all their new Spheris management is installed now, the ex-Edix management is probably gone (except those who fit in with the new regime), and they just don't want to be bothered with ex-Edix people. Just my theory. At any rate, plenty of us have posted on this board, so it is obvious that most if not all of us are not being rehired.
Try Spheris. NM

Spheris
TO: MTMQ... Why are YOU making this business? Are you the board monitor. It's none of your business what anyone Or when anyone posts on this board.
Spheris
And just how they going to get anyone's identity on here. What she is doing is NOT dishonest, It's smart because even if they do find out, she has another job to cover herself. BusyMT'ing is diong the right thing by protecting Her interests, which you have to do in this dog-eat-dog MT world. My hats off to you BusyMT'ing. You go girl. And if you really think about every MT company is competition for another MT company no matter how you look it. If one is independent, no company has any say what you do.. IC is the way to go. More pay and you answer to no one but yourself...
Yes, we will see. Spheris has only
acquired one company. Spheris was formed with the merger of Total eMed and EDiX. So, Spheris itself has only made one acquisition - HealthScribe/Acivis.
I think they have to get this acquisition settled before buying anything else and when/if they do make another purchase, I think it will be more global oriented, not US-based like MQ is. That is strictly my perspective.
OSI or Spheris
My husband came home on Friday and said he was going to be laid off soon. I am still trying to accept this and what it means to our family budget. I got a job offer from Spheris and OSi to begin in their mentor programs. I am really lost and don't know which would be better for my family. Please everyone give me the heads up on both companies. I know Spheris offshores, but have plenty of work. OSI seems to be running out of work. Which program should I choose. Both recruiters tell me their companies have plenty of work. HELP
Spheris or OSI
OSI pays better than Spheris. I work at OSi on an account that runs out of work but I can make $500-600/wk...I worked for a lady locally and used to make $1000/wk on the same account, but she lost the account to OSI, and they keep a little more for themselves if you see what I mean. I know someone who worked at Spheris and only made $300-400 week, and then she made $600 wk at OSI. And let's just say her speed didn't bring her down.
re: spheris
I currently work for Spheris. I find their platform makes it difficult to get a decent line count.... it feels like I type alot more then what the platform tells me??
why Spheris...
MQ or Spheris
Keep looking. Don't go with either. You'll be sorry if you do. Have been with both and there are better options out there.
Spheris
It's great if you have 20 years experience and like to make 8 dollars an hour. They formulate it that way, so even if you get a raise, you get yet another pay cut. McDonalds is sounding pretty good right about now!
I like it at Spheris
It amazes me how rumors fly around here - chained to the chair? I don't think so! I take breaks when and as often as I want. No clocking in and out for breaks. I like the company and am quite happy there.
Spheris
Yes, Spheris is currently hiring for radiology. They are a good company to work for supplies computer and reimbursement for phone service. Good benefits, too.
Currently, Spheris does not have IC/SE.
I doubt Spheris is in the picture for MQ though.
I'm sure that some MTs have been called by MQ Rewards Plan committee though I doubt all MQ MTs get on this board so we wouldn't necessarily hear about it.
I hope they don't do away with SE either.
Actually, I don't see that. Spheris has
leveled their accounts period. Whether you have 1 year of experience or 10 years of experience, if you work on a level 7 account you receive 0.0867 cpl as a base rate. Period. Flat out. No consideration is given to experience period. The incentive is based on WEEKLY production.
Sounds like MQ is basing pay on 2 factors --- years of experience AND level of account.
Of course, I realize SEs may become a thing of the past. However, I highly doubt it. I believe they would have stopped advertising and hiring SEs recently if that were true. They'd only be hiring FT and PT employees.
We'll see!
spheris
Did it take long for them to get back to you after you applied. I just applied today.
what about spheris?
I am not familiar with their requirements.
No where near Spheris....Let me tell you --
Sounds like the info just posted on here about the packets is very credible -- although I have not received my packet yet.
If this is this plan, and I've put all this info together so far -- the pay is far better than Spheris. Even the different tiers and hours for shifts is better. The incentive is better.
All-in-all, this beats Spheris completely. Mind you, I love Spheris still but this pay plan beats them all around.
I thought that beforehand as well. Spheris' highest incentive was 0.015 and no bonuses. No extra incentives at any given time of the year period. No extra money to be made in anyway. MQ has offered a lot more than that for pay.
Just giving you what I know about both companies since I work for both.
I may well go FT with MQ once I talk to my PS and see if I can test and go to pathology and/or radiology (have done those for many years and enjoy both).
I appreciate the information posted here. I wish everyone peace and good guidance in deciding what is best for their individual situations.
Spheris? MQ?
So..which company is better..Spheris or MQ?
Spheris does. Not as much though.
..
Spheris vs. MQ
I have never worked for Spheris, but am a high producer for MQ and make a lot of money. No complaints here.
Spheris? MQ?
They both are horrible. Neither is better than the other.
Spheris
Telling Spheris won't do you any good. They have plenty of Indian MT's and are hiring more all of the time, so they don't really care if you leave. You would be better off to go to another company. Spheris is the worst in the business.
Spheris
I'm a Transcriptionist with 17 years experience. I worked 12 of those in a hospital, the last 5 as a subcontractor. I need the benefits!!!
I accepted a job with Spheris. Now, I know it is much easier to complain on these boards, but, please try to include some good things about this company if you can! Thanks!
spheris
If you accepted a job with them, why do you care what anyone else thinks? It's you job, your time and you will learn why there are so many complaints on this board, as you put it.
Good luck - you'll need it.
Spheris
There is not much good to say about Spheris. All I can say is you will see in due time. They are just too big for their britches.
Spheris
Well, honey, get ready for an eye-opening experience. You will have plenty of work but it will be on many different accounts and then they will have the nerve to have you change platforms and re-learn everything you are already used to just to give you more accounts every day. RUN before it is too late.
Spheris
Yeah, that is the problem. There is work available. There is just no stability in it. You never get used to the account long enough to make any money on it. Then it will get caught up and you are forced to work on another, yet another, yet another account just to try to earn a paycheck. Also, if you do not meet your line count quota then you lose your benefits. How can you make your line count quota if you are account hopping several times a day?
