This is a lot. When I worked for Transcend, I got a whole 0.025 extra for CMT. nm

Yes but that means hiring a lot of extra people and paying out a lot of extra money when they can
have SE without all this. Their last report said they are making less money now than before and expect to make less in the next quarter so what does that say. We shall see. As part time employees you would still have to adhere to a schedule and I think people are SE for flexibility at least I am.
I worked for Transcend!
I know nothing about Transcend. I worked for JLG
back when they were supposed to be a really good company and they paid by gross lines. But I was on an account with the CRAPPIEST mushmouth dictators I have ever heard in my life. My account must have been just overflow of the dictators the hospital MTs didn't want to do because every single one of them was bad. I made okay money, but I think with gross lines I should have been able to do so much better - and I could have if the dictators were decent.
Okay, then one time there was no work on what I usually work on so I moved over to ERs. I was in heaven! The dictators were so good and I worked right along and made great money that day and I was thinking YEAH - THIS IS THE WAY TO GO! Except then I got an email telling me not to do the ERs, because they wanted to save them for the people who couldn't do anything else.  Oh - so because I'm a very experienced, GOOD MT I have to get stuck with the crap and you give the newbie/know-nothing MTs the GOOD dictation? Um, I don't think so!
And now I see they pay by the 65 space line instead of by gross lines. Just wouldn't be worth it to me.
I have worked for MQ and Transcend
I cannot recommend either of them. I don't know about Spheris. Good luck. You might make more at a smaller company or hospital. That is what I did.
worked for Transcend
Two years ago, I worked for Transcend. However, at that time, they seemed to be over-hiring, and I kept running out of work! Eventually, I went somewhere else, but left on good terms with them that if they ever needed the help, I'd consider going back. They were actually good to work for, the people are nice, the communication was great. The only thing was I got ALOT of ESL that were extremely hard (have 13 years working as acute care MT). Good Luck!
I worked for Transcend, but unfortunately
They were a good company as far as I could tell. Ditto above, plus they were true to their word and paid better than most I see posted here. I was on Beyond TXT as well. They hooked me right up with my specialty that I'm great at, and they answered all of my questions. Don't know about Sten-Tel.
I really liked Transcend when I worked for them.
it up due to a family emergency. It went very smooth from the time I was contacted by the recruiter, equipment, and training. All was going great! They pay on time. They paid for training. Unfortunately, when I contacted the recruiter after a few weeks had passed, the schedule was not one that I had originally signed on for, so therefore, I couldn't take the position. I highly recommend Transcend! They were wonderful and so understanding! 
I have worked for Transcend for several
months and I think it is okay. My team leader and ROM are both nice. For full time you have to make $900 per pay period. That is not hard to do. I don't know what the benefits are for part time but full time seems pretty good. They also gave a $25 gift card to Walmart for Christmas. That was nice.
Overall, I am happy there. Hope you will be, too.
Since I have worked at Transcend
they've never given a shift differential or weekend differential. You can't cut what doesn't exist.
Since I worked on 2 different VR platforms at Transcend
I find it extremely hard to believe that you are getting handfuls of reports with only 2 or 3-keystroke corrections in the entire report in a day. In all the time I've worked on VR I can't even count on 1 hand the days I've had a handful of 2 or 3-keystroke corrections. I think you're exaggerating a bit or I've been extremely unlucky to get the kind of VR editing that I've gotten for a year. On the other hand, I can pull an 60-line OP report in from autotext in less than 4 Keystrokes and do this repeatedly on OPs throughout the day.
Would work for JLG before Transcend, having worked at both previously. nm

I worked on that account with a company other than Transcend.
It was the worst. I was glad to see it go. Sorry for whoever got it.
I love Transcend. I've worked for MANY
x
I've worked for many nationals i.e. Webmedx, MDI-FL, Transcend, etc. and
I like Medquist the best.
Not true. I worked at Transcend for years and things have
For years people at Transcend were very friendly and the only time things got really heated on the forum were over personal opinion posts like politics and stuff. Not any more. More and more people are to the point of not knowing what to do with this company anymore. People who have been there years and years have quit or are quitting, and I think most of the peers that are happy are relatively new and haven't seen the downward spiral. A friend of mine quit a while ago and said she got a letter about a month after she quit asking her to sign a release saying she wouldn't take Transcend to court or be party to any claims relating to her employment with Transcend. If things were that hunky dory they wouldn't be so scared that they need to ask people to sign waivers when they leave.
Yes, I have checked into and worked for several companies that use Escription and Transcend has the
best pay..now, they just need more work so if you have steady work, then I'd stay put.
Well that makes sense because had they really ever worked at Transcend that would know the pay rate
for editing has NEVER been 3 cpl. They have paid me more than anyone has EVER offered so that poster (Be Careful) is not a legit person who has worked for Transcend.
I worked for a lady's service who was bought out by Transcend
a few years ago and they offered her a position in the home office. She sold, had the job for a few months and then she was terminated. I know for a fact that Transcend said in a paper article in the Atlanta Journal and Constitution that they outsourced because could not find enough American MTs to do the work. Now what I find surprising is how many complain on here about sitting and waking for work for Transcend. Wonder how that happens?
When Transcend bought the company I worked for we were told they did not do IC, just PT/FT... sm
so this is news to me! Maybe they allow different things for different companies they buy. I also understood a little while after the merger that all accounts would move over to their platforms, but now I am reading that maybe not all of them did with other mergers. I am sorry you all are going through this! I remember how it was thrown on us so quickly too.
I have worked for MQ, Spheris back when it was Edix, Transcend and OSI. TransTech is by far the bes
The pay is decent, probably not the highest in the business but not the lowest either. The benefits are good. Pay is always on time. Great bonuses. Great communication and most of all I really like the people and it makes me enjoy being an MT again.
Nothing from Transcend, although I heard others got gift cards or at least a card. I've worked th
several years so if it was just a case of being forgotten that is still pretty pathetic. How do you forget your employees, especially when you get junk bulk mail from there regarding nothing that involves you..but at Christmas you were forgotten. Oh well, I have work and for that I am grateful so I'll be nice...
Do they pay extra for OT?
As if I needed any more incentive to apply to this company.
MQ--extra 2 cents
some offices offer extra money for typing after 3pm, after 10pm, week ends, and holidays, and some offices offer this without asking for it
Going the extra mile? sm
IMHO "going the extra mile" means working your BUTT off when your company has a backlog. Decent companies pay a bonus for doing that anyway. Then coast when work is low. If you fall into this cut throat mentality, you're not only hurting yourself but all MTs. It is possible for companies to balance their needs with the needs of MTs and I, for one, refuse to work for one who can't (or won't) do this.
Always work, usually all the extra you want too.
No special platform. Some accounts you can work in WP5.1 or Word, some just Word. Work is batched so no saving every report. The only demographics you have to enter is patient's name, all other automated. Daily QA feedback and QA is good overall. Use BOS generally, but not strictly - client dictates.
Direct deposit and pay is ALWAYS on time, even early on holidays usually. No charge for direct deposit.
If you are local can use C-phone, otherwise work is downloaded via FTP. They provide foot pedal/software but not computer.
IC positions only - but don't know rate. I've been with them since the beginning and am an employee. They pay based on gross line though, use Sylcount for line counts and no screwing around with your lines.
They aren't perfect, but most employees have been there since the beginning, little turnover. They leave you alone for the most part, no IM, no nasty e-mails, aren't calling every day for you to work extra, occasionally offer a bonus. Schedules are Sunday-Thursday or Tues-Sat, not clocking in.
do any of you do something extra on the side
My hands kill me just about every day now, and looking at my hands i have muscle breakdown and twitching, so i'd like to cut down on typing. Want to find something to do on the side to earn maybe 1000 to 1500 dollars a month. Was thinking about ebay, but i'm doubtful I could make that much, even though they hype up the advertisement by saying you could make 3000 MINIMUM. I'm just desperate and feel like my hands are about to fall off. I've spent close to 1000$ this year alone in keyboards, gloves, splints, doc visits, meds, changed my station around, hot soaks, cold soaks, exercises, stretches, vitamins. still my hands just sing every day esp at night. So any extra money earning ideas you guys? thanks
MDI is asking for MTs to do extra work
Honestly, I do not know where you are getting your info from. MDI is really busy, so that leads me to believe you do not work for us. If you want more work, please call me at the office (or you should have asked your TL). I sent out a mass e-mail Wednesday night asking for help, help and more help.
Hope you are making honest posts. If you are, then I really would like you to call me either at home or at the office. My home number is listed in TT (although most of my MT's have it already).
Thanks,
Liz
Extra Work!
Does anyone know of any MTSOs that use MTs p.r.n. or on our own time?
extra work
I'd be happy to share, just E-mail me. Am not that familiar what I can or cannot put on reply message
But can you work extra
hours if you need them in order to reach your line requirement?
can you do extra if work is available - nm
nm
would you happen to need someone to take the extra
I'd like to get some prn work, or even a bit extra each day, especially on the weekends. If your account would allow it, and depending on the manner in which the files would need to be played, etc, I'd be happy to help. Let me know if you'd like my email addy.
-sede-
Thank you..but no it only spaces an extra...
line between sentences. Instead of each line one under the other it actually adds an extra line space to double it but thank you anyway. I appreciate the help.
That is the BASE ... you get EXTRA for
shift differential, weekend differential, QA percentage differential, and line differential - FOUR on top of the base rate. If you don't work for TT you have no business chirping in. You get paid for holidays whether you are scheduled or not. You rotate Thanksgiving and Christmas, never both in one year. I have been around the MTSO block. Transtech is the BEST. Period.
Extra work at KS?
Do you have the opportunity to work extra at KS? If you do, do you get paid OT for it?
Extra job security, anybody do this?
I recently took on another job, this one part-time. I had been working for several months for a company that was constantly running out of work. This way I can always be sure there will be work in one place or other. I think in these economic times we have to protect ourselves. Anybody else do this? How does it work for you?
Yes, I just wanted a little extra job to help ...sm
because the work has been really slow the last couple of months where I am. But I don't hear anything. Most don't reply at all.
Has any company said thank you to those who have picked up the extra
work for those who are "out of service" from the hurricane? I have worked my fingers to the bone to keep a few accounts happy, no thanks, no overtime, no bonus. Guess I am the dummy here.
It means it does not pay extra for paragraphing,
underlining, bolding, new lines, etc., or any of the unseen characters or Keystrokes required to make a certain function, i.e., if you bold the word bold, it is 4 characters + 1 character after the word for the white space, but nothing for the control+B to make the word bolded, nor no keystroke for the space bar, as that is a white space.
There's no extra for that. It's just part of the job more and more lately. And the worst of th
s
Yup, and there's the extra hours gained
Gives nearly a whole extra day to get the work done because of the date/time line.
Mandatory extra hours?? How many?
nm
I should have said old hires used to get double; now all will get extra 4 cpl;
nm
they dont want extra, they wont take it.
x
Ask for extra work, they are probably willing to give it if it's there. nm
nm
You certainly deserve the extra for working 3rd. sm
I could never do it!!
Should get extra for 3rd shift 99% ESLs!...nm
Do you have the option of paying extra...
for fedex or UPS delivery? What's it like to QA there? I definitely could not afford to wait a week for my paycheck.
I wonder if this is the new pay plan coming out. How do you get the extra 2 cents. What do you have
to do for that.
Dental and vision are separate and extra. sm
I don't know how much, though, because I tossed the info on it as the provider list for the dental was SO LIMITED it wasn't even worth it, I couldn't get any dentist I wanted.
one of my companies gives an extra 8,000 per quarter for bonus
