The pay is a bit on the low side for IC work, but the work is easy, the people are great, and the pay is always on time, once a week, direct deposit.  Hope this helps.

Thanks for any input you may have.

I have become increasinglly discouraged with Spheris.  First, since the new platform was installed, it seems to be getting harder and harder to even meet required line count, where before I went way over my requirements. My pay is nearly down to 1/3 what it used to be before this new platform.

I know, too, a LOT of work has been outsourced to India.  If I could live off $2.00 a day, then I would.

Editors, do not even start me on those.  I have come to realize that most of the editors are indeed in India (take a close look at feed back and spelling of words).  I have one smart@ that constantly berates me and I have about had it. I have been an MT, I am sure, for more years than the Editor has been known medical terminology, yet this editor is allowed to talk down to me?  I would like nothing better than to tell this certain editor to kiss me where the sun don't shine.

I suppose here in a couple of years my job will be obsolete in this company because the $2.00 a day MT's will take over completely, leaving me and many other Spheris employees out of work.

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!  

Does anyone have information on a system called Sequence that interfaces with Meditech. Like, dislike, good bad?? Thanks.

For the past week, work has been a little slower but I think that is common in every company..some days busy and other not.

I have a few questions regarding the Meditech platform that Keystrokes uses on some accounts. The person who hired me wasn't in today, or I would have asked her. I hate to wait until Monday because I start with them in a week and I just want to make sure I have everything I need.

If anyone could help, please contact me via email so that I don't clog up this board with all the specifics!

Thanks!

that they need to be available 24 hours a day to be there when the work is there.  Transtech has a lot to learn about being family friendly for domestic MTs.  After all, that is what they hire right (domestic MTs)? 

Also, maybe they ought to stop overhiring and get over themselves!  JMO and I don't even work for them and probably wouldn't looking at this board.  Boy, they were a hot number a while back, but now they've shown their true colors. 

Don't be mad OP; everyone is entitled to their opinion.  If you like working all hours of the day and night, then have at it, but don't bash the MTs that aren't in a position or don't want to be abused in that fashion. 

if you get your lines in.  OT is paid at the standard 1-1/2 times your rate, but you don't get OT for typing over 1200 lines a day, unless you do the lines outside your normal schedule.  If you are scheduled to work 9 to 5 whatever lines you do are at your line rate.  If you work before 9 or after 5 those lines will be paid at 1-1/2 times your rate, so if you make 10 cpl, then OT will be 15 cpl.  Also there is a shift differential.  I'm not sure the exact hours are per shift, but if you work anything other than first shift there is a differential. Third shift pays a higher differential than second.

They also pay for downtime, so if the servers are down or there is a lack of work (which we have been on OT for months), then you keep track of your time and they pay an hourly rate.  If you are a productive MT you would make more money typing, but at least it is something.  You aren't required to make up lines outside your shift either.

of every weekend (such as Tues-Sat or Sun-Thurs) or do they have M-F with rotating weekends?  TIA
