PTO, sick pay, paid holidays, benefits include...sm
Medical, dental, vision, drug coverage. Great company. I like my accounts. Plenty of work.
Transhealth is very organized, great benefits..horrible platform
Maybe it was just me but i never made it through training. It certainly could have been a lot easier than having to open up 3-4 programs to get going. I found it to be time-consuming and in a production-based atmosphere, this did not cut it. On the other hand, maybe others think the program is wonderful, but I sure did not. I have used Dictaphone EXText and that is way easier.
What I mean is, to be paid for holidays, even if you dont work. Major holidays.
Sorry. What I mean is, to be paid for holidays, even if you dont work. Major holidays.
Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

Would much rather have better benefits, as in PTO/Holidays than 401K
I will have to say hearing about 401K plan is the last thing I am wanting to hear about. I want paid holidays EITHER/OR more PTO, plus insurance without preexisting clause, vision and dental included in our premium without extra cost to MT, company-paid life insurance plan, more flexible schedule, less demand for weekend/night schedules, rent-free computers to do our job, steady work flow, better method of seeing our line counts in order to verify accurateness, better QA feedback method, more editor-friendly voice recognition platform, and oh yes, less ESL's. ');>
I know we are all looking for something different from an employer, but this is a portion of my wish list. I would put 401K at the bottom of my list.
TransHealth's benefits look very good SM
and pay is very competitive (meaning 8 to 10 cpl).
Family coverage is about $450 a month...so, although not cheap, much better than what you're having to pay now. Also, they start the first of the month after you start. So, if you start on Feb. 15, medical benefits kick in March 1.
They have an ad on the Job Seekers board. You should check them out.
(I just finished the testing process and am waiting to hear back from them. Dictation portion was tough, but the rest was not too bad. Verbal quiz was scary, but not difficult. Someone with the amount of experience that you have would do wonderfully, I'm sure.)
Good luck! 
Are your holidays paid or do you have to use PTO?
Because that makes a big difference in how many days off are paid for.
Holidays at WMX are paid...
You don't need to use your PTO. I started at WMX one year ago and the PTO for the first year is actually 3 days (24 hours); at least that is what it was when I started. Don't know if they changed that. After first year, it becomes 10 days (80 hours).
Looking for paid holidays with a company. n/m

Where holidays were not paid, so I did not know to question that when
it states 6 holidays. Then you have to choose 2 or 3 of those 6 that you will work. Sorry, but there are things that we just don't think to question.
In regards to the paycheck deduction for health, life, dental and vision from each paycheck, my totals $100.00 per pay period for employee only -- then the computer rental fee of 9.23 per pay period.
Then the shift differential is what is not really worth it for working nights, and then no differential for working weekends at all! Oh, well, gotta keep on  . being thank for my job.
You do not get paid for holidays unless you work them. sm
You do have to work 3 of the 6 recognized holidays. One of those has to be either Christmas or Thanksgiving. If you work Christmas one year, the next you have to work Thanksgiving. If you do not work on the holiday, you have to use PTO if you want to be paid.
Also 6 paid holidays, good ...
incentive pay, great supervisors. As a single, i pay $83 per pay period for the BC/BS, dental, vision. I haven't had a problem with not enough work. There are a lot of ESL dictators though.
Oh, yea -- PAID, too. Grandmother PAID LEAVE would be a great drawing card to TT !!
Just love that PAID TIME OFF !!
Just found out we at TransTech do not get paid for holidays.
That is the first company I have worked for that did not pay for holidays that they offered as a holiday. Surprise to me!
Do any of you work for a company that pays for the holidays they offer. I believe the BIG ones MQ and Spheris pay for holidays. Are there other companies out there that pay for holidays? Thanks.
They give ,more paid holidays to India though
That's right - they give more paid holidays (going by whatever the Indian culture considers holy/holidays), company parties and better equipment to their ever-growing Indian staff. So if you moved to India you might get a better deal from them.
P.S. I am full-time too and they have paid holidays. (nm)

Does Medscribe FL offer paid holidays?
I am just curious as I am considering leaving another national due to lack of work
Who gets paid holidays & maternity leave? I'm an IC nm

was Easter one of the paid holidays with Webmedx? nm
.
You only get 3 holidays OFF per year. PTO is paid at a very low rate. There is 401k...sm
But the company match is only up to 2%. Employees are required to work at least 1 weekend day every week.
All of the hospitals/clinics have a lot of ESLs, that's just the way it is. But a lot of them also use canned normals, which we love.
There's a lot more to consider than how much the medical plan costs.
Basically what it means is OSI is eliminating paid holidays
OSI has no sick pay at all. You have to use your measly PTO for any time off, and it is the worst PTO I have ever seen. My teenage daughter has more PTO from a pizza joint... yep its the truth. So now basically no paid holidays for the majority of the employees. This sux big time.
I'd rather have my 6 paid holidays and nice PTO package at Webmedx sm
than any gift, anyway.
Transhealth editors? Anyone with information on pay, work schedule, benefits, platform
I would appreciate any information before taking their test without knowing the scoop. Thanks!
yeah, but wouldn't you really like your holidays paid in addition to PTO? sheeeesh
xx
NO paid holidays for us all year round. If there is any work on the holiday, you get
lines and a half, but usually there is no work. They usually clear out the work before the holiday so there is no 1-1/2 line pay remaining. Transtech names 6 holidays each year, but the MT takes those holidays off WITHOUT pay.  I am sure the office staff and all other non-MT staff take off WITHOUT pay, too, aren't you???? LOL
Which MT companies DO pay an MT for holidays. I don't consider a day a HOLIDAY unless it is PAID. They can call it 6 holdays, but have to take off without pay . . . . just another day, i.e, get sick -- NO PAY.
Transhealth rad-paid by report or by line? sm
Anyone know? Thinking about applying.
That's great.What's the rate?Do you work holidays?

Great pay, great benefits for 11+ years..sm
I've just started with this great company (eMTS). I have 11+ years of experience and I was started at .10 per line as a regular employee, not IC, with a huge sign-on bonus, full benefits, very nice people, and a good account. So far, this is the best experience I've had in my years as a transcriptionist. Unfortunately, I don't believe they're hiring more right now, but you could always check in with them, they're online at eMTS.com. The management seems to really care and they work with you.
Wow...now that sounds great. I hate using my PTO for holidays ...not fair/nm
xx
Webmedx has 6 paid holidays a year, separate from PTO, for full time employees.
x
Transhealth is hiring but you must have 5 years of QA experience. They are great to
work for.
No more great benefits. Only if you are
xx
Yes, they have sick pay and PTO, great benefits...sm
I've worked for TH for a long time, have taken sick time, and have never been fired for it. Ridiculous.
Benefits don't sound that great to me.
They may be better than some, but certainly not great.
$15-18 is great, but what if ya' need health benefits?
Sometimes those premiums can be pricey in private practice. Not what the OP asked, but just adding by 2 cents.
Great benefits don't help if the work isn't there.
It's been a while and maybe they've gotten better. The recruiter at the time was less than above-board with me. Try to find current employees to talk to.
They are able to offer great benefits...
because they do more than just transcription. And, for clarification, my posts are referring to the supervisor to whom the MTs report directly. Ms. Nasty-for-no-reason-at-all.
Deventure has never paid benefits to part time folks
Not sure what you are talking about, but there is no difference. Everyone I have spoken to is really excited about the merger with Transcend.
Webmedx is great for me; good benefits, sm
PTO, reasonable insurance cost. Plenty of work, decent platform (although we had some trouble last week but that's rare). I realize one company can't be right for everyone, but Webmedx has been great for me. 8 years and counting.
I bet the benefits aren't so great anymore.
Everywhere business are taking a hit and passing it on to their employees. Good insurance now at a company is one where you aren't spending more than $300 a month and you have just co-pays or a very small deductible.
Wages are frozen, people being fired for budget costs, everyone's doing two or more jobs and getting paid for one.
It would probably be a big blow to go back for a lot of people. The work place isn't the way it used to be anymore. Sad.
They had great benefits and little work. I lasted three

Great benefits, plenty of work, pay on time
Depending on experience, slightly above-average pay. I used to be with a company where I would have given my right arm for those few simple things. As for the posts below regarding line count, IF this (or any other concern) was affecting my work, there's a new invention called a telephone that comes in handy when wanting to address concerns (and their phone number is on their website).
Seem to have great benefits, which start after a month of employment. sm
Pay is so-so, level III 8 cpl, level IV 8.5 cpl, level V (high ESL) 9 cpl. Everyone seems very friendly and helpful.
Good luck! 
Hourly pay, great benefits, schedule depends upon which accounts...sm
you are QAing. Solid company. Good luck!
Great office staff, okay pay, no benefits, horrible ESL all accounts...NM

My hubs retired as a fire captain. Great benefits, thank God! nm

Gotta agree -- YOG was the best! Great pay, good benefits. I quit sm
the moment I heard she had sold to MQ .. ugh.
Thats great, I am sure you got just what you paid for
lol
