whatever period of time your trainer designates for those first few days. I'm starting Webmedx on Monday. I guess I could wait to find out, but would be nice to know what others' experiences have been. Thanks!!

webmedx training period
when I trained I was on the phone for about 6 hours or more I believe. they walk you through the entire procedure.
Most companies have a 2 week training period and if meeting
production and QA one can opt out of it early.
3.34 hours per pay period,
and we former TRS people were grandfathered in such that our hire date with TRS is now our official hire date for Transcend, if that makes sense....
However, having said that, lest I be accused of anything I do not mean, I will state (again) that this has been MY experience. I can't speak for any other mergers, where the terms of the merger might be different....
No, it's not. 3.385 hours per pay period for your first year and then it
goes up from there. I think it ranges from a low end of 11 days in year one to like 25 days after 10 years. Just call them and ask.
I think its 6000 lines per pay period and 20 hours.....but
s
6000 lines per pay period (2-weeks) and 20 hours per week that is
Just clarifying.
I think it is $12/hr and it was 4 hours + 1 hour training, 2 days. nm.
nm
Never heard of them. I thought the 16 hours + 2 weeks of training
s
My current job allowed 4 hours of training pay. The previous
job allowed an extra 25% of your line rate for 3 days. I don't think there is what I call an industry standard for training.
Also in training with Webmedx
I love their platform as well.
Any other new Webmedx hires? I start training (sm)
in about a week. Am really excited and nervous. I realize no company is perfect, but this one seems to have so many of the things I am looking for.
I start training with Webmedx next week...sm
Like you, I know there is no perfect company, but they do seem pretty darned close.
Webmedx pays a flat training rate for 3 days. nm
.
Webmedx gives you 12 hours. nm
At Webmedx FT is 35 hours. nm
x
40 hours at Webmedx, et al
I wrote my STM about this and was told that unless you have been notified that you are continually running behind with hours and lines, there is no worry.
I am still worried because so many things have changed with this company. Used to feel safe, secure and happy to be working for them. But I too am wary of the pep talks and rallies about how Webmedx is looking after its employees and knows the employees are what make the program successful. Continual mergers, continual workplace changes, nothing seems too stable. Someone is making $$$ here but not sure about the trickle-down effect. And ASR, ISR, whatever they call it, is a hinderance in many cases and not helpful. Many facilities and dictators have been moved into ASR that in my opinion should not be there. I spend more time correcting ASR than I would spend transcribing a report and I am certainly not paid the same rate for ASR reports. Feels like a factory job now. And where are those extra cpl going for the lines we produce with ASR? Not in our pockets but paying for ASR software, corporate salaries, etc.
Bigger is hardly ever better, expect for those at the upper end of management. Look around at this country and what has happened economically. Gouging by management, companies failing because of greed and bad decisions, broken promises, and employees left standing in the cold with hungry families, losing their homes. Shameful! I fear a bigger Webmedx does not bode well for the employees. Greed that drives large companies usually ends up biting the employees in the . . . well, you know what I mean.
It has been a little fun watching the upper eschilon (the greedy) get theirs lately with the fall of the stock market. Most of us who are not highly invested do not directly feel this. But the rich had years of getting richer and the poor way too many years of getting poorer. Now the rich are moving alongside us, poor babies, losing their millions!
Webmedx MTs - Do you make your hours? sm
I'm rather new and finding it hard to get my 35 hours in due to running out of work. I'm on multiple accounts, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
So are you able to get your hours? If so how?
If not, are there threats over losing insurance?
thanks,
Worried
MQ does and Webmedx has benefits for 35 hours. Bet there are more 2. nm
.
And WebMedX is 35 for FT. SPI/Cymed is 32 hours. nm
s
You work for Webmedx and shor 18 hours? sm
Get another account, check the community page, some accounts have OT on them. The work is there, you just have to flex a bit on different accounts and such.
At Webmedx, if you're scheduled for 35 hours, you may find (like I did) that (sm)
you have to do 40 due to the time clock situation.
Webmedx does but it is based on hours worked, not lines. nm
.
Question for Webmedx Employees--If you find that you have trouble getting 7-8 hours in during--sm
your 12-hour window due to running out of work, are you required to make up those hours outside of your 12-hour window? Will they take away your benefits if you can't get 35-40 hours consistently due to work running out? Thanks!
Webmedx PTO rate of 1.08 hours per payperiod and only for Full-time Employees
Webmedx only gives PTO and insurance to full-time employees. No PTO for the first 3 months, then something like 1.08 hours per pay period, starting at 0. If they run out of work or your ISP goes down or your child gets sick and you cannot get in the full 35 hours to qualify for full-time, they want you to use your PTO to make sure your hours add up to 35 that week. If you fall below 35 hours for 3 months in a row, no matter what the reason, they automatically drop you to part-time and take away your insurance. Then, you have to work a minimum of 35 hours for the next 3 months before you will be eligible for insurance again. As far as holidays, if the holiday falls on your scheduled work day, you have to work, unless you ask for it off in advance, but they do pay you for 8 hours of holiday at your normal rate, in addition to any lines you type that day.
Their training schedule kind of got backed up and so far the only training..(sm)
I've had is one short Bayscribe session. But I extended my 2 week notice at Medquist and I have until July 17 now to get some training in at MDI and do some reports to get familiar with the platforms. I'm looking forward to it!
part-time IC is 5000/pay period and full time IC is 10,000 per pay period. Need to talk with
recruiter about cpl, I'm sure it varies with experience.
I can't say enough about their training team. Excellent training!
The people at Medware are all just great. I wish I would have joined the Medware family sooner! They are very flexible and caring!
do you mean company training or med transcription itself training?
nm
Sorry, I work 15 hours a day 5 days a week and 5 hours the other 2, when I come here I dont proof.
nm
what training? no training for me, first day they Tried to give me 2 ESL....
nm
they did not come up first. An hour of training is not really training.
nm
Why would they give you a choice of 16 or 24 hours. Usually part time is anything under 37 hours.
That is extremely odd. Well they must have something up their sleeves. Well I will be working elsewhere part time as well as with MQ as I have no intention of sitting 40 hours with no work from Amherst and be expected to have 150 lph with no work. What is all this window of work time they said they would be giving everyone. I figured all along they would do away with SE. I have already been looking around and ordered a new computer to send theirs back.
Any companies that allow line count rather than hours or less than 20 hours per week? (sm)
Wouldn't mind having something extra especially with Christmas and general winter expenses coming up but working a FT job and really don't want to do another 20 hours on top of that.
the day has 24 hours, I work only 6-8 hours, so, lots of time to post...nm
nm
Must we choose either 8, 16 or 24 hours. Why would they want someone only working 8 hours a week.
That is less than SE are required now.
MDI-FL. Approximately 7 hours a month x12 months =84 hours
And your PTO acrues from day 1. You are just unable to utilize it until after 90 days. They have excellent benefits.
You can have insurance at 30 hours with Encompass, 32 hours with eTransPlus. nm
10-15 an hour for 8 hours is better than nothing for 8 hours when there is no work.
x
You do not get PTO for 16 hours a week. 24 hours or more for the PTO. nm
:
That's exactly what I was going to say. Yes, I work at least 12 hours a day, sometimes 15 hours
to get all of my line count in because I have so many interruptions in my day. There is no way I would tell my company this nor expect them to pay me OT that they never asked you to do. Unless, I was called by my supervisor and asked to work extra for OT, I would never just take it upon myself to work and expect to be paid. If you were not authorized to work OT, then your not getting paid. Point blank. I do not work at TT, but I have worked at enough jobs, at home as an MT and otherwise outside of home, that all have the same policy, your paid OT when your asked to work it. It's it is just a case of not being able to get your required line count in 8 hours, then maybe your in the wrong profession or possibly just the wrong company/account for you. This just seems bizarre to me. Just tell yourself, your not getting paid for OT because they aren't approving it so don't work it. Again, if you were asked to work OT, told it would be OT, and then they ask you not to record it, I'd pitch a fit, but from what I see, you've done this on your own.
? 13.33 for 3 hours ($4.44 hours) am I doing it right. Geez!!!!!i
.
Why would anyone work 8 hours a week. The poster above said 16 or 24 hours a week.
:
What is Webmedx FL? Webmedx itself is located in Pittsburgh & Atlanta. nm
.
Well, you can tell it is the last day of the pay period.
:
16,000/pay period
This is for 2 weeks, correct? You are able to transcribe 8,000 line per week; I can only currently do 6,000
You can always tell the end of the pay period is near.
:
That would have been $73.53 less than MQ last pay period for me n/m
About $9/pay period or you can use yours
/
Per pay period?
xx
PAY PERIOD
12,000 LINES PER PAY PERIOD OF 15 DAYS, NOT PER WEEK, AND THAT IS ABOUT RIGHT
but pay period
It is like 9500 lines for part time and 12,500 lines for full time per bimonthly pay period
