In Reply to: Transcend no longer offers production incentive. Gone. - Thing of the past.
You obviously do not work for MDI-FL.

And I asked Transcend to limit their posts.

When they called me and I asked them if they offshored, they asked me why that was my business!

Don't know about bennies but I believe
employee line requirements are 6000 per pay period for part time and 11000 for full-time.
Also, it's spelled Chronicle Transcripts.
They seem to be a good, solid company to work for.
Pay and Bennies
This company is not on the upend pay scale as of yet seeing as how they charge the hospitals 11 cents per line, but they are consistent with work and have promised future raises as they become more established. I started out in the apprentice program making 2 cents per line for <98% and 3 cents per line >98%. Some on here scream about working for that low of pay but I just don't feel I'm deserving of regular pay until I have the experience. After one month I was given a pay raise that brings me up to the regular pay status, so it was well worth it for me. As for the bennies, I am part time so I can't help you there. They have many different packages for the type of work and experience you have, so you would just have to submit your information to them to find out what they would offer.
I know many on this board have been burned by many a national, but I like CorT and the people who run it. They are genuine and helpful. We'll see where the future takes them. I plan to be on board with them as they grow!
Pay and Bennies
Thanks for the info. Even though the pay sounds low I like how they actually give the raises and it sounds like you are appreciated for what you do and don't get lost in the shuffle. I've been with MQ for 7 years and have only had 1 raise in that time, and that took 1 year to actually happen from the time I started asking for it. I don't mind MQ that much, it's just that my speciality is ERs and I get very little ER work these days. I also like the fact that CorT is in Ohio, just about an hour and 15 minutes from where I live. I'll check it out further. Thanks again for the info!
Bennies
Yeah well, having work to do is the name of the game. I paid for my benefits at MQ and didn't get anything but a crappy paycheck, went through a lot of my savings to boot. I pay my own hospitalization and I save my money for time off when I want it. Anyone who works for benefits pays for them eventually. Get smart and smell the coffee. And I make more per line than I did at MQ. So, your problem is????
BENNIES
Well, bless you my child for your good fortune. I make 11, I get about 125-150 in bonus money every two weeks because we have so much work, which is my mad money. I can sleep in if I want, but generally keep to my promised schedule. They know I produce, I get a GOOD tax break, and I woulnn't work it out any other way. To each his own.
Then no bennies for you! Be an IC.

bennies?
What kind of benefits does MDI-Maryland offer? What kind of transcription do they have - acute care? clinic notes? ER? And lastly, do they have line incentives and is there a cap on them? Very interested...
No bennies because
all MTs are IC/SE status. As far as I know, they have acute care and clinic, not sure about ER. No line incentives but I feel they pay very well. cpl range from 9-11, depending on the account and they pay spaces and punctuation. Software is nice to use, too. Hope this helps. Contact them and someone will respond very quickly. They are wonderful to talk to and will take all the time you need to explain and answer questions.
IC and bennies
Insurance...That is one of the reasons I went back in-house. I had been without health insurance for 3 years and at age 50, felt I was pushing my luck. It sucks, but now I have health insurance, PTO, AND.......a 403B. If I could have those bennies and still work from home, I would be delirious.
Good luck.
Need teh bennies too much! Otherwise

bennies
I've been at DeVenture for 2 years and in no way, shape or form do part-timers get benefits (at all). If you DO, I'd say there's something amiss.
Does MDI-MD have employees with bennies or
is it IC only? Couldn't tell from the website. Thanks.
Very decent bennies. If you do ESL, you can get 10 cents
a line with bennies. Check them out.
Plenty of work? Any PTO? Okay bennies? nm
nm
Agree with all except the bennies part.
There are several MT companies that offer bennies to employees. Not with IC though.
Any companies offer bennies for
nm
Wow .. where do you get 9-10 cpl with bennies? I have 30+ years of experience sm
and 8 cpl or 8-1/2 seems to be the best I can do. :(
DQS payroll
full-time people fill out a timesheet online. statutory MTs don't.
payroll
not dure what cmpany - but if you had a contract and it states a pay date or pay time frame - you can take steps to get you money an dinterest - legally they are bound to stick to the scheudle they gave you - go to the department of labors web site and file a complaint - they will get the message.
payroll
It would depend on the account you are typing on. The account I was on was paid weekly by direct deposit; however, there were other accounts that were paid bi monthly.
SPI Payroll
I also got that e-mail and even though I appreciate the heads up, it is still an inconvenience for me. My checks are deposited in a credit union account which has limited hours and this will entail me taking time away from my work schedule, not to mention a 20+ minute drive each way, to get my check deposited and then of course having to wait for it to clear before the funds to be available. I am not going to get too excited yet, unless it becomes a recurrent problem.
Payroll
They never told me I would get paid in 30 days. I do not need the money that bad since I have benefits/salary through my husband, but I can totally understand your situation if you totally depend on your paycheck once a week, twice a week, or semi-monthly. Getting paid in 30 days is very hard. You do not want to get behind on your bills and ruin your credit.
This company is Synthescribe. I think they have been going through lots of personnel changes and that's why they have changed their name. So far they have been very nice to me. I'm supposed to start training next week, so I shall see how it goes!
Payroll
Many companies use payroll companies and they are just a number waiting for their work to be done. You dont generally dictate to the payroll company that you have MTs who are just dying to file their taxes on January 15....which is what y'all are doing I guess.
If you have your last pay stub, most companies have YTD info on there.
If you're an IC and not an employee, getting 1099s instead of W2s, you should have records that support the 1099, and therefore already have those totals as well.
Or just relax.... you will get them :)
Best companies for radiology (pay, work, bennies)?
Any input appreciated - need to leave the convention center...
There are no bennies. They offer IC and statutory status.
Pay is comparable to most of the services. If you want employee status, they do not offer it. They are a good company though.
I'm not quite sure why people keep giving companies who don't pay bennies the nod. sm
I guess it's all relative. A lot of MTs, because of health problems, cannot get benefits on their own. There are enough good companies out there, who pay as much as futurenet, who DO pay benefits, thank God. AND they have direct deposit as well, which is pretty important to some people. Gosh, even the smallest services have direct deposit. Not understandable in a company anymore that they don't provide it. Glad you are happy, but there are better deals out there.
Any info on Diskriter? Other companies FT with bennies?
I keep seeing jobs for home-based MTs with hospital benefits, employed by the hospital system in Florida, etc. I'd sure appreciate if anyone could provide info on this company. I've love to be in a work situation like this again, but know nothing about the company. I'm sick and tired of MQ. Need a FT situation with good benefits and MQs are so expensive and I think the out of pocket is ridiculous compared to what I've always had in the past. Thanks so much.
9 cpl barely passable if an employee with bennies, but -
if you're an IC, don't forget you have to buy your own health insurance, no PTO days, and you have to own & maintain your own equipment. If it were me, I'd be asking 12 cpl, might (just MIGHT) settle for 11 cpl for the right employer, if the accounts are good line-producers.
I agree BeyondTXT is ridiculous, especially if you need to get bennies! nm
We were getting laid-off, wages cut, losing bennies
Like for the last 5-7 years.
Please submit $29.99 with next payroll
We encourage AT&T, as you can get multiple lines for $29.99, but there are other companies that have come out with comparable prices. Then, fax the bill to Rochelle and submit it with the second payroll of the month. Thanks a lot, Liz
Medscript payroll??
Does Medscript out of Naples, Florida only pay direct deposit?? I got a call from them wanting me to work PT as an IC but can't get anyone to answer the phone when I call and I have sent emails. I want to accept this position, but I prefer a paper check. Anybody know??
payroll checks
is there anyone here who is as tired as I am of bounced checks, late checks, etc.
I finally have someone who pasy but evry three weeks the checks come and it is getting ridculous. They held the first one for four weeks then mailed it out, and now it just gets later and later- I have two others I work for I sent myinvoice and got a check within three days. is there a logical reason for this over and over again?
TTS payroll issues
Same here for me. I thought it was just me.
Leslie is payroll
...but now since most of the managers are gone or lost their titles (and money) she is being used to run accounts. That's the biggest problem over there, people with absolutely NO transcription experience making the rules.
Outsourcing for HR and Payroll
How many transcription companies have partnered with ADP, a global conglomerate listed on the NYSE. Transcription companies, et al, are turning their Human Resource and Payroll functions over to ADP. Now in my opnion, an mouse does not partner with an elephant. Partnership???? Thousands of ADP accounts were already invaded by hackers this year. What is going on? Is there a gobble-up in the offing for some of the smaller, more independent transcription companies? Is this why they are partnering? Is this why were are being treated as disposable commodities? Are they all going to sell out to foreign companies listed in the US as corporations, but actually foreign owned and controlled? Any insight would be appreciated. E-mails welcomed.
It's not just during the week of payroll. SM
Also, sending e-mails and expecting a reply is not as you put it bothering them. It's a normal part of business.
Proveros Payroll
Has anyone out there ever worked or is currently working for Proveros? They say one gets paid after 30 days. It has been six weeks and I am looking to get paid. I feel I've given them ample time to pay me. I wrote an email to the gal in payroll, and she has not replied yet. I would think she would apply right away.
Payroll Question
Out of curiosity, I am asking for input. At Focus/Nuance MTs are ORDERED to show up for their shift or they are fired. Many show up for work every day, no work is available. The manager won't give them additional work/more lines so they sit for 4-8 hours with MAYBE 300 lines a day. Is it legal to do that without paying some kind of hourly wage? Other companies I know will pay $10 an hour as "compensation" for the time you wasted since there were no lines available. Is it legal to ORDER someone to go to work and then not pay them? If it is illegal, where can MTs go to report this?
What do you mean by cutting payroll?
Thanks!
Sometimes it is hard for payroll to get
things ready early with the same amount of work required in less time.
Have you tried their payroll dept???

payroll question with TT
I am newly hired, old company being outsourced to Spheris, and I forgot to ask if they offer direct deposit. Any idea on this.. Thanks.. So glad to be with this company. The comments about TT are almost too good to be true... and I can't wait for the computer to get here.
New payroll company
I didn't stay to actually get paid by the new company a year or so ago but I can say they were dumber than a box of rocks, sent me state tax forms for Arizona which is a mere 1500 miles or so from where I pay state taxes. Another huge issue with them was the paperwork wanting permission to do a background and credit check.....after having been employed for 5 years!!! In any event, seemed to me if anyone was going to be doing a background and credit check it should be the employee and don't blow smoke by telling me it is for security purposes. That goes to the so-called Patriot Act which covers everything government and big business wants to do to squeeze us a little more.
Company has been steadily growing, great bennies,...
I've never had a late paycheck. Pay is very competetive, PTO, holiday pay etc. I believe there is more than one platform on which to transcribe - depending upon the account. I work on the main platform - not glitchy for me. No problems reaching my line count. I'm quite content there, no plans on leaving.
For every single company out there, you'll find happy employees and not happy ex-employees. Deciding on an employer is a hard decision to make. Good luck with your choice, no matter what it ends up being.
Any companies out there paying 9.5 to 10 cpl for employee status with bennies?
Please!. I am looking. I have 20+ years experience in all work-types, acute care, multispeciality clinic, 98% and above on accuracy, 1600 lines per day. I'm sort of desperate, but don't want to settle!
Starbucks offers a lot of bennies, including health,
for part-timers.
Great office staff, okay pay, horrible ESL's, no bennies....NM
NM
7 cents a line with no bennies and no taxes taken out is good!
What are we coming to!
