I decided I could start next month....
Still tying up loose ends at current position, hired in Sept.
Meant to say..1st day of next month after you start working ...

I start Focus Infomatics next month
Can anyone who works there share with me the real good, bad and ugly? I keep hearing so many different and conflicting things. I have searched. As I understand, some MTs love it, while others don't. I know they have Indian interests. Feel free to email me privately if you want. Thank you in advance for any words of wisdom.
They were to start a benefits plan this month. Did that happen? nm
s
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! 
Start looking and get out. Yes, they do route the best work
to the favs. No, I don't believe it happens at all companies. The supervision at OSi have wayyyyy to much time on their hands.
Has your hubby & son's work start
slowing down, like not many jobs around? Mine has been off since October and only started at the end of May this past year.
We always dreamed of taking our vacations in the middle of winter when he was off, too, but every year, the work is less and less for him. Yet his broker has given what little work there is to his favorite guys and he was told some of them are working a day or two a week. It's frustrating. For his type of work (federal and state highways), he needs a broker and there is only one around here. Plus, he still hasn't been paid for work he did in October (2 whole days). We're afraid the broker is going under and, if that's the case, I guess DH will be forced to retire early.
Ever thought of a home health care aide? Usually paid training and start work right away. Can work
m
Promised to call you to start work?
I'm sorry, but as a recruiter it's hard to believe that a company looks at your testing and assumes that you'll buy in to what they're selling before having a long discussion between the two of you. Something's fishy here.
Not out of work here...it was a slow start yesterday
but it picked up in the afternoon and evening.
Why were you supposed to start work at noon?
BECAUSE YOU HAVE A SCHEDULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Duh! You are just as anal as they are. No wonder you love working there.
FOR THE LAST TIME....IF YOU ARE A TRUE IC, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE A SCHEDULE!!! Whether you emailed them or not is NOT the point. Sheesh!
If you have scheduled hours/a scheduled start and stop time, YOU ARE BEING TREATED LIKE AN EMPLOYEE. GET A CLUE!
I think majority of negative comments start when work is low and
they start looking for another job. I, for one, would rather be too busy and have to work an extra hour or 2 than not to have any work. Overhiring is the death of all of us, since we do not have a guaranteed income unless you are a team leader or hourly employee.
Failure to pay on time is another large problem that will produce negative comments.
If companies were actually above-board with the problems at their company before the hiring process is completed, a lot of this could be avoided.
Go to the Seeker's page from start of Jan. On 1/4, about 1/2 way down, ad for Tons of Work is
s
Ironically, we work for 2 different companies that are in FL and start with an M. I wondered because
other than that one account, I get a great line count on my main one, but I still say I'd dump any job with a big line count discrepancy. Why frazzle yourself.
Slow start yesterday - out of work for about 1 hour -

Guess our work will eventually go to India now. Going to start looking for another job! (NM)

I have dial-up and make money. I download my work and I can start transcribing
as soon as the first report has downloaded. Once I download I disconnect, do my work, then connect and send my completed work. I usually start my download in the morning then go take my shower, feed all the animals, grab myself something to drink and I'm ready to go. Once the work is downloaded what type of connection you have doesn't matter.
Sure it is safe to post your resume on the net, provided it is a reputable site. I would not just post it anywhere, but post it on the job boards here and other reputable sites. Most sites have some type of safeguards in place so that you have to have registered with the site and/or paid a usage fee to view information like addresses and phone numbers, so that not just anyone can view the information.
Another option may be an account that has C-phone or similar accounts, where you aren't downloading, but dialing directly into the system.
We band together and start our own company offering our services to the hospitals we've been work
on already and take our accounts back from Transcend. I haven't signed any noncompete contract with Transcend. Would the MDI one be null and void? If my pay rate is null and void, so must my noncompete. They can't have it both ways.
TransHealth starts 1st day of month after month SM
you start, BC/BS, good rate on single, don't know about family premium.
TransHealth does to $45 a month.
TransHealth kicks in the 1st day of the next month after employment. IOW sm
if you are hired and start on the last day of the month, you will have insurance the very next day. You can't beat that, plus it is excellent insurance and the cost if the lowest I have seen of any MT company
Ok. When will you start?
When do you start?
When were you hired and when do you start. Curious about how long it takes to get started.
when did you start??
Lots of inconsistencies here, when did you start?
DEFINITELY start looking!! nm
x
I'd start looking sm
for something else if I were you. There are plenty of jobs on the job board. It wouldn't hurt to start applying.
Just my opinion.
they start at 0.065, not 0.06
nm
What do they start at on ASR (VR) nm

7.5 cpl to start
Oh yes, when do I start having fun?
We have had cable for some months with Charter. I had AT&T and got tired of paying for this and that, too much. My husband could be sold a swamp in Florida- listed to the folks at Charter, new and improved. We got internet and land phone in day before New Years and now have had them over here probably a total of 5 or 6 times since then. Do not even try calling anyone with their company- no service place uses India- I called the other day and some person named American name kept going over something I was not talking about - 3times and I finally asked are you in India. I said my question is....... what word in that sentence do you not know? I finally frustrated hung up. Not a good service place AFTER you get.
I would start looking for new job...
Just left a company who docked me pay because of not changing demographics in program (not Word). This was after working there a year, getting calls early in the am to do stats and other fun things. If you smell smoke, there is usually a fire.
where do I start?sm
I worked for them up until February of this year. Management was unapproachable, at best. Paychecks ran a few days late every paycycle and were frequently inaccurate in the line counts.
I do understand that a lot of the people causing all of the hub-bub there are now gone, and I have a friend working there who is pretty happy that she made the transition. I guess everyone's experience will be different.
Start with an A?
nm
I think they start at 7 or 8
Yes you do not start out as a QA
nm
Start looking
It's not what you said. I agree with every bit of it. It's how you said it.
Start looking
Is it necessary to speak so harshly to a fellow MT? I am willing to bet that a few kinds words would have been more helpful to this person that the heavy-handed diatribe. Now is the time for kindness and compassion, not condemnation, don't you think? Have a merry Christmas.
Where do I start...
Fiona, what do you know from Adam? You have gone off on some huge rant that is totally unrelated to my post ...talking about Detroit and Repugs and all sorts of nonsense. Just because *you* are not happy and *you* are not making a good living does not mean that *you* represent the entire industry. I'm doing just fine, thank you.
so you think its ok to start sm
a post with I will explain it for the 100th time and end it with do you understand now
Yes I have followed all these posts and the rudeness is overwhelming! I would much rather hire the person who asked the question that ticked x off so much than X herself!
I really don't care what you think about anything I have said but I would not treat any employee like that nor would I talk down to anyone asking a question or posting an opinion. It seems to me like a lot of the folks on this board just want to scream and complain. I realize the economy stinks. There are many places where the work load is down and its going to get worse. As the economy gets worse and people have no insurance the demand for elective surgery and medical care goes down, thus our jobs.
What I have seen in over 30 years is that the ones who scream the loudest are the ones that have 1-3 years limited experience They scream about getting OP notes, ESL dictators and any other thing they don't like. Instead of screaming about the content, MTs should decide they are going to learn to do every single type of transcription. I realize it is different working for a hospital than a MT service. I do not agree with all this switching around on accounts for the MTs either. It just makes a mess. You have frustrated MTs making no money because they can't stay on one account, frustrated MTSOs because people are complaining (rightfully so) and frustrated clients because the work is either not done or the quality is very bad. You cannot be at top level doing 10 different accounts in a day.
On the other hand, the only solution that I know of, in this economy, is to keep it all inhouse, pay the employees benefits and a decent wage with incentive pay. Even with that, there will be those who want and need the flexibility of being an IC or an employee working from home.
Sorry, but X did not have to respond as she did. Makes me wonder why folks with this kind of attitude cannot see why they are not getting jobs! It also makes me wonder if, as students, they really thought that when they went into the working world of MT IF things were going to be as they were in school, i.e., dictation, difficulty of dictation, quality of sound, etc. Probably not. The real world of MT is not as being taught in school. Personally I think things should go back to on-the-job training with a minimum of 5 years experience in house acute care before being able to work at home unsupervised. The schools that are advertising 4-6 months of schooling and you are an MT ready to start your own business have destroyed this profession and created a whole lot of prima donnas in my opinion!
You did not start over 9 cpl at DSG
First of all, why not enter your actual name and not hide behind that name, ConnieW. Second of all, you nor your friend were hired at over .09 cpl. I think you're just trying to start trouble.
Not to start anything here but
I consider a lot of money to be a bonus at AIG or even a yearly management salary while employed at most of these bailed out companies. Thanks guys, we are all paying taxes to support you folks and your outlandish lifestyles.
I don't have a college degree in business but I really do think I could get one of these same companies into the same mess, not have to work very hard at all (certainly not as many hours as I put in as an MT) but get a RAISE AND A BONUS - which I certainly don't get as an MT and ya got it, a bonus.
I would start looking
I was in a similar situation. Management said they didn't want to lose any of us. They USED us to keep the account current and then left us high and dry. If I could go back, I would have started looking for opportunities right away. As my mother always said, It never hurts to look.
Would this co. start with a D?
Where to start?
Nitpicky, micromanaging, bad leads, IMs through the roof, do 1 day this way, next day another way, never a good word your way but lots of bad ones.
I will start with KS any way and try them out. nm

Umm, does it start with an
nm
To start with...
Professions/jobs that require a weekend day or full weekend work? Let's see...you already covered doctors and nurses, so how about:
1. Gas stations.
2. Target/Walmart/Kmart.
3. Restaurants (yes, waitressing is indeed a career).
4. Bartenders.
5. Preachers/priests.
6. Fast food places.
7. Ad nauseum.
I'm sorry, I've got to agree with MT30+ here. You want time with your kids and with your God? Well, you have that time during the week. Pick a weekend schedule where you inconvenience yourself and start at 5-6 a.m., and then you have the rest of the weekend with them once your shift is over.
As far as spending time with your God, isn't there something in the Christian Bible (I am obviously not Christian) about a 'house of worship' being any time, anywhere people are gathered in God's name or some such saying?
I'm sorry, she turned down a self-professed 'wonderful job' to have weekends off. My pity/sympathy/empathy level with her is hitting at 0.
There are too many people out there right now who DO want to work, so at least in her turning it down and showing her lack of commitment to the MT profession and healthcare profession in general, perhaps someone who truly WANTS and NEEDS to work will get the position.
when did you start with MDI?
nm
Not to start a whole new argument, but sm
It seems awful strange that I know of at least 4 people that have left Transcend in the last 2 weeks or so from the same account because of lack of work all the time on either primary accounts or secondary accounts and now they don't have an ad posted, like they usually do to fill them back up fast. Hmmmm, maybe they finally realized that they overhired!!!
no, not to start it all back up again ...........
Get the best rate you can when you start
because no matter how much your produce, how much you help out, and how high your quality, you will NEVER get a raise. This was supposed to be based on a random QA review monthly but that went down the drain and now there are no reviews, either.
