What about these surprise situations with Transtech? --

Hard to compare to a normal job, as you are trying to do. When there is no work at TT, they send out emails not to contact the office. Of course, there is no pay, yet we reported to work on time ! These are always surprise situations to TT's at-home employees. Good companies do not treat their employees like this. You report to work and you are not sent home without pay.
TT is not the only company that treats their MT's like this -- but be sure to compare apples to apples !!!
Don't compare us with away-from-home jobs. Ex-MQ'er, your time is coming for being out of work. You are new right now with TT and have nothing to compare to yet.

Quit TransTech for same, actually both situations...nm
:0
hello -- I said I was referring to 2 different situations
x
Both of your situations sound like I would like them.
The one with the higher cpl and also the one with the ability to come and go as I please. I wish I could read your minds and find out if your boss would hire me :)
Law about pay for no work situations sm
Supposedly this doesn't apply to MTs because we don't get paid hourly, we're considered piecework and that law supposedly only applies to hourly people.
My experience with these situations
is that the buyer does not necessarily want the talent (they figure they can get that on the cheap overseas). What they want is the accounts. They will murmur sweet nothings, tell the acquisition company whatever it needs to hear to get in bed with them. Next morning, where's the respect? Where's the love? We thought they really liked us! Nope, it was just a booty call.
Suckah!
Yes, let's hear it for win-win situations and turn this around.

Yes, no work situations which have been occurring lately have given us the chance
to TAKE DAYS OFF WITHOUT PAY ! Surprise times, they are, too. Not anything MT's can plan for !
totally different situations between work types. nm

Great post! I have gone through similar situations
But never give up... there is always hope at the end of the storm... just make it through the storm.
Let me rephrase: "The owner presents herself as an MT who understands our situations"

Would not surprise me
Immediately after posting a negative but factual comment about a service, I received a fail notice on their test - over two months after I took it.
Any company that assumes such a list is accurate you probably don't want to work with anyway...
Does NOT surprise me with DSG . . .
they really do not care about their MT's, and yes, I too was one of their biggest defenders until they turned on me. I was very hurt by it after all the loyalty and hard work I gave them. They do not appreciate it.
well i may be in for a surprise
but in my year with them, I find them to be very stable, with a consistent workflow. I do have several accounts to draw from, but I'm really surprised some of you have more than a rare problem with this.
It does not surprise me
at all. It is Indian owned and run. Keystrokes has 100% US staff (even tech support is here), and the owner is adamant against offshoring her work. Cardioscribes was probably just trying to avoid holiday pay for the US MTs. You'd think the Mumbai incident a while back would have taught doctor's offices a lesson about that country but I guess not :(
I was also taken by surprise...
but it seemed like a lot more than $30. I took out family coverage on the new insurance and, since they hadn't taken the premium out before, to have it doubled the first time out seemed like a big chunk. To add to it, I just got my card on Saturday. I didn't even know the insurance coverage had started yet! To go back and pay double since June 1st for coverage you didn't even know you had IS quite a blow.
Oh well, two more paychecks to go before we're out of the hole. :)
Would not surprise me in the least. Something is coming not sure what.

Wouldn't surprise me any
If they have "QA to QA the QA'ers," you can bet that each step of the QA-ing will have the QA'ers who are QA-ing the QA-ers who QA the MT finding all the work "they" didn't QA to be crappy QA-ing. LOL
Doesn't surprise me one bit...
same thing they always do...
It wouldn't surprise me at all.

That sure doesn't surprise me. And just think -
if they're willing to commit fraud on such a grand scale, then it's a no-brainer that the people there doing the grunt-work, (and getting shafted paywise in the process, just like we are), are going to look for ways to augment their earnings. Enter the fancy, company-paid-for PC, access to the internet, and access to confidential American information, and you have the potential for fraud and scamming that surpasses what we already know about Nigeria, Pakistan, Cameroon, China, etc.
American businesses are too greedy, they already have more money than they know what to do with, and they are pitifully naiive when it comes to bringing the Third World countries into our corporate systems.
Not yet, but it wouldn't surprise me at all. sm
Have received more than 1 email regarding their attorneys and posting on this board.
Wouldn't surprise me to see that being s/m
1 cent per report. After all...why should you get paid for typing yes over and over. Before someone pounces on me I am definitely being sarcastic but still it wouldn't surprise me the way some of these MTSO suits apparently stay awake at night thinking up new ways to screw MTs.
no raise, no surprise
I think I should have had one a year ago myself, but dared not ask because of the economic situation starting to cave and as bad as I want to ask now, I still feel the timing is not right. So many are struggling just to stay afloat and/or profitable.
I agree. It was a nice surprise! nm

oh yeah, like that's a big surprise, gals
FN's greed shining thru their friendly facade. Over-cover an account, make sure you don't earn enough, but they sure do. Those of us who tried to warn everyone that they always ran out of work were basically told by posters on this board that we were not given work because we were not good enough and they were phasing us out, which was certainly not the case. They just over-hire. That way, their TAT is met, but the MTs don't earn enough to make a living. And now, the bait and switch of going to VR?!? They've got nerve. Leave the ever-sinking ship; start warming up those resumes and bail out.
It caught me by surprise too -- I'm right there with you. Fortunately, I have a 2nd job sm
so that helps take the sting out a bit. I love the people and love the company, but I do not think maybe they realize what a big shock $30 can be sometimes. To me, the more fair thing to have done would have been to say something like effective next check, we will be taking out double premiums until we catch up or whatever. However, cannot unring a bell.
And I have always been a bit disappointed that they wait until the following Monday to pay us instead of that Friday, but for the most part it is a good company. Seems like all of the MTSOs hang on to their $$$ as long as they can -- guess the interest is better in their pockets than on our paychecks.  I was stupid and am now waiting a month to get paid for work I did for a woman in Virginia. Chalk it up to lesson learned.
Good luck to you (and me!). 
No surprise. We already knew this. Suprised that others are
x
I guess my point was that it wouldn't surprise me if they DON'T know the law. sm
Because of who is in charge of it.
Nothing surprises me with them. Fake it till you make it.
Obvious lack of reading comprehension (no surprise there)
I am not management. I do VR; the term 'these people' refers to those who refuse to even CONSIDER doing VR and would rather jump ship than learn.
Honestly, I wish EVERY account at TT would go to VR to weed out all of those who can't comprehend a simple post. I'm not surprised so many of resist doing VR; the lack of reading comprehension which is vital to VR is obviously missing in many of you.
Sheesh, now I know what my dad meant when he'd refer to someone being 'stubborn as a mule' or 'head as thick as a rock', lol!
It wouldn't surprise me that the co. didnt want to pay extra for something that helps me but coul
:=
This shouldnt be a surprise. The owner herself posts on this forum all the time when KS is attacked
sad but true
No. TransTech is out of Texas TTS is in New Hampshire. TransTech

Well I don't work for Transtech and this discussion isn't about Transtech...
and that is not age discrimination....give me a break...
TransTech
TransTech has a job posting on the job board. I have talked with the person who hires (Debbie). She is really a nice lady. They have a M-F schedule listed.
TRANSTECH
Does anyone have any information good or bad on TransTech Medical Solutions?
TIA 
TransTech
I've been with them just about 2 years, best move I ever made. The best advice I can give is to give them a call and talk to them. If they are as good for you as they are for me, you'll be a happy camper. Have never ran out of work, pay is decent and DD on time, they often offer VERY good, easy to reach incentives too. Happy MTing!
TransTech
Be very careful. The owner is a very moody person. I only lasted 2 days.
TRANSTECH
Transtech is a very good place to work. The "owner" is NOT moody. The people are the finest in the industry. They value their MTs. The are awesome to work with and for.
TransTech.

TransTech
I have been with Transtech for 1-1/2 years and it works great for me. I have 20+ years in this line of work and TT is the best company I have ever worked for (and I have worked for a couple of them). I have direct deposit and my pay has always been on time and accurate. I always have work (an abundance of it!!). TT is a fast growing company, adding new accounts, and very busy. They have a very good QA team who are very helpful. They hire USA transcriptionists only - NO offshoring. TT has an ad on the Job Seeker's Board and you can check out some of the things they offer. Also, here is the Contact Us link from their website: http://www.transtechmedical.com/ContactUs.html Good luck in your job search.
TransTech
They have a lot of ads for MTs, are they growing, or difficult to work for, hard to keep MTs. What is the story?
transtech
Yes, I was offered even more money from a smaller company, not national.
TransTech
Anyone have any info on TransTech. I have an interview today.
TransTech
might you be an ex-MacGregor gal? if you are, me too.
Does Transtech pay for ???

Transtech
Does Transtech pay for spaces, headers, footers, etc.
TransTech
Give Transtech a try. I worked for MQ about 9 years ago only because they bought out a company I worked for. I only stayed with MQ a very short time after the buy-out. I now work for TransTech and they are a great company. You can contact them through their website at:

If Transtech pays 10 cpl for their difficult ESL account, does anyone know what the starting pay for the other accounts would be? TIA.
TransTech - sm
Do you know if they have radiology accounts? TIA
TransTech
I have checked the archives regarding this company but there is nothing up-to-date on there. I would like to know how this company is to work for, how their platform is, and overall if it is a good company to work for. Do they pay for spaces? What is their average starting cpl? TIA
transtech
