Yes, if you left on good terms, you can be eligible for rehire. nm
.
I gave notice and was told had to work final weeks in order to be eligible for rehire. Had no
:[
Maybe if this deal loses clients, I can work out an at-home deal with one of my current accounts.
Or else get a McJob at McDonald's flipping McBurgers....
They can still say that they would not rehire you, which is bad.
They just can't give specifics or personal opinions, i.e. late all the time or lazy worker.
I think HappyMQer is a rehire at MQ but not sure
layoff/rehire
That email offering a bonus was not sent out to everyone. Only a limited number of individuals/
Idea for you to try for rehire. sm
Go directly to Lee. She knows that circumstances change. She is a softie at heart but does not admit it :)
The skinny on Spheris rehire
The fact is...
When you terminate, your supervisor checks a little box at the end of your form that says "rehire" or "No-rehire."
If you quit without notice, or if you quit just to go work with someone else without giving your supervisor a chance to make things better, quit without any reason, or if you were especially difficult while you were working with the company with lots of production or quality warnings, etc., you will probably be more susceptible to the no-rehire-box check.
If not, then you certainly should be able to be rehired if the rehire box was checked.
All a company can do is put you on a do not rehire list.
If you put them on your resume as a reference they can by law only answer the dates you were employed. Nothing else. If you give notice they can put you on the rehire list or not. You decide. These are the legal facts. Not to say they may do other things. But if you are a good MT and you want to work for a reputable company it should not be a problem. Re: black list passed around: There are rumors of it, but when I hired I would have paid no mind to it, rather judged for myself through interview and researching references. Good luck to you. It is a slow time of year, the only reason you may not hear back right away from potential employers.
About to apply to TT. How long before I'm eligible
nm
Yep, I wish they'd rehire me. About 2 weeks ago I e mailed the owner
Then her admin asst sent me the sheet with questions right away too... they said they were very interested. After that, nothing. I e mailed the assistant and she said HR got the form, but I never heard again. Maybe I got blacklisted from the bad experience last year. I am really sorry for what happened, trying to juggle 2 jobs, and especially for losing face with KS. However, if they felt I was not a good fit, that is their choice. I can promise the stars but if they felt I was not a good fit, I truly understand and won't bug them again. I am, however, extremely happy for everyone who gets to work there, and I am glad I had a chance last year. I just blew it! My bad.
You're not eligible for benefits until employee.
And once an employee, you're not eligible for benefits unless producing 11,000 lines per pay period. If, after being an IC for 90 days and then made employee, if you consistently run out of work and can't make 11,000 lines per pay period, you still don't qualify for benefits. This has happened to a few people and why they left.
Sorry, meant not eligible until employee for 90 days.

Thanks..do you know what the deductibles are and how long before your eligible for insurance? Thanks
Find a hospital job. I was eligible for health insurance
when I worked at home for a hospital.
Axolotl- Are you eligible to retest if you didnt make it the first round?
It's embarrassing to have 15 years experience and not pass. I really feel it was a sound quality issue but that is just my opinion. I wondered if they gave second chances.
aSorry, forgot to mention that they will contct you via e-mail when you are eligible.

After 90 days full time, you are eligible for health insurance, 401k, Aflac, sm
and life insurance. One year for PTO. Direct deposit right away.
I am happy at Keystrokes, and happy with the benefits. The insurance is a little high, but my husband has a union job and it would cost us more to have him carry all of us.
The HappyKeystrokes poster seems to give a lot of misinformation. I have as much work as I can handle, but I do not type 350 lph or whatever amount she/he claims. I average 200 lph, up a little some days, down a little other days, but that depends on the doctors dictating, my motivation for the day, etc. Spring is the worst as I have hayfever and headphones bother my ears right now.
My check is right, is on time and is direct deposited. My taxes withheld are correct and SS has been paid (unlike somewhere else I worked that messed up my SS and did take out for state taxes). My lead is supportive and I think the company cares about their employees. I am happy with Keystrokes and cringe when I see posts like Happy Keystroker writes, which make us all look like Stepford Wives. This is a job, just with a company that I like working for.
I wanted to paint a more realistic picture.
Okay, here's the deal...
I am a Transcender myself. I have just put in my notice, but in hindsight, wondered if I was being fair. I was becoming disillusioned about certain things and could not decide if it was just my perception and if I was the only one who noticed or if I was doing something wrong that I wasn't getting the same benefits as some others and wanted to know what others thought.
I think what I've come up with here is that it is a combination of both - that at times, I put all I had into it and didn't get much in return and at times, I could've put in more. Live and learn, I guess.
I was up the next day. It's not that big of a deal.
I don't know where you were going with this post, "In the know," as it's hard to tell if you're commiserating, bashing V, or accusing her of something. Sounds like maybe this is something between the two of you given the tone, but I'm going to post this anyway.
Dunno why. Hope you're both on good terms!
Here is the deal
The work load is down tremendously which in turn is causing the transcriptionists to have lower than normal line counts. I do wish you luck making the 2000 lines per day, but honestly I don't know if that will happen. Be cautious if they "promise" that work will never run out. I think we all have been told that at one time or another. Other than the lack of work right now, Medquist is a really nice company to work for. I just hope the work load situation is temporary!
Oh big deal!
Hey, we got CHAPSTICK for Christmas! ROFL - seriously, congrats on sticking it out - U deserve the best, as do we all in this profession!
What is the big deal
They are asking you to pull a small 30 minutes a weekend, is that so bad? I too am enjoying the slower time after so much work - most companies require everyone to work an 8 hour shift Saturday or Sunday, as does QT for the newer hires, you should be happy it is only 30 minutes you are asked to do!!
Here's the deal.
The first time I ever emailed them for more work, no one got back to me for 12 hours, by which time the point was moot. On subsequent occasions when I have been out of work or low and they are broadcasting for help on other accounts, I help out but then end up getting stuck on that account and NEVER any of the good dictators -- all the crap. So, anyway, now I just flex and hope to hit a run of the dictators I can understand every now and then.
big deal,.....
so, you are one person who LOVED them. I did not have any problem getting their quota, but I did not like the management's snobby and uppity-type treatment day in, and day out. Tech people were good, but the rest absolutely SUCKED.
MQ, now there is something to write home about. I never worked for them, but my friend does, and does not like them, but she stays with them because she is in her 60s.
one raw deal i see here is this
anyone in the world can post and name a company, say anything they want. person could be a teenager just out carrying on, a disgruntled mt, an employee of a competitor ... ANY PERSON say ANYTHING and NAME a company but companies sure don't hvae the right to name problem employees do they?
i think fair is fair: if companies can be named, so should people but no more anonymous situations. gotta name yourself. lol
that would cut a lot of this garbage out.
My deal
With Focus, it seemed to me that they let the subcontracted companies take precedence over actual Focus employees. They get the work - like today as an example - I have no work to type, because it was given to the subcontractors. That is my reason for seeking a second company to supplement my income. On Focus pay right now with no work and the subcontracted companies TAKING WORK OUT OF MY QUEUE WHEN IT IS DOWNLOADED FOR ME TO TYPE...you get the picture.
I believe it is a done deal. (nm)
.
what's the deal
They acted like they needed help but won't contact anybody
that's the deal..
Yep, it looks like the only choice is to suck it up or switch jobs. Truth it, there are so many awful surprises at new jobs these days that I'd rather just suck it up than switch jobs. But, I did want to make an earnest effort to find out the truth if it is out there for the finding. I'm weird that way; I like to actually KNOW when I'm being lied to..and worse. It's totally up to me as to whether I let them do it to me. right?
Get this deal......sm
I was just recently hired by a company, sent in all my new-hire paper work, given a start date and then never heard from them again. It just so happened that I ran my free credit report and noticed the company had checked my credit. My credit is shot to say the least mostly due to this job and its fluctuations in pay. I pay the bills when I can pretty much, but I always pay them. I was shocked at my score, but I still can't believe they didn't have the courtesy to let me know that they decided against giving me the job because of my bad credit. Just never heard from them again. Very disappointing, and given the fact that they have all my stuff, SS#, license, W4, signatures, etc., this somehow doesn't even sound legal to me. But even if it is legal, shouldn't you contact me and let me know you are not giving me the job and have destroyed my paperwork or something!! Does this sound like a recruiter doing her job properly?
What is the big deal?
xx
I would go for it...Having no PTO is really not that big of a deal (sm)
although it is nice to have. Still, you can take time off w/o pay and make it up if you want. As someone else who is in their 50s I can tell you having the benefits and 401-K is much more important and I think is sounds like a good situation. Good luck!
I don't see the big deal in the msg - sm
It's giving you the basics so you can decide whether to move forward with the hiring process. Imagine all the time that would be wasted if a company tests 10 different people while 10 more are waiting and then those first 10 people get to the interview and decide they don't meet the requirements, can't meet the requirements, etc. What's the big deal? And that email message most likely came with a privacy disclaimer. Before you say it, no I don't work for this company.
Here is the deal (sm)
First of all, it would bother me to no end that they have MTs that have different rules just because they have been there longer (every weekend work versus 1 day a month??). Secondly, do you not think they can block you in Bayscribe and route the work to those MTs that have been there longer to keep them? Therefore, it sounds like you guys are all overflow MTs that they let in the system when work is high and don't care if you don't get work when it is low. I worked there before...I know for a fact they HOUND you to work extra and work extra (everything is a friggin crisis) but when there is no work you will never hear from them. Hmmm, why? They don't care its that plain and simple. I do think also there is something to this pushing the prn at 7.5 cpl thing. That's ridiculous. So, you keep your commitment and they don't have to keep a commitment to you? They want to say you didn't keep your commitment so they can push you to quit or take prn. I know...it happened to me. My best advice...stop idealizing a company that doesn't exist anymore. They used to be good...very good. That has changed and it is not good anymore and hasn't been for quite a while. It is hard to accept when you like your accounts and the system and maybe even the people (some would be hard to believe though ;) but accept what is reality and move on. Don't let them degrade your skills by using you this way. BTW, most of the positive posts I see on here I suspect are written by somebody in the company, a specific somebody actually given the way they write, to defend their reputation and to placate you guys. I know its hard and I'm not trying to be harsh but its the truth and I believe everything you are saying because I know first hand also. So, if you know the truth and its staring you in the face, don't let your wishes of how it could be or used to be mess you up so you can't pay your bills. That was the hard thing I had to accept myself. GOod luck everybody! Believe in yourself and know there is better out there.
What's the deal
I agree. What's the deal with them anyway? Do you think they just don't think or they just don't care?
I keep wanting to ask someone in authority at my company if they have EVER brought these things to the physicians' attention.
All those things are such ridiculous time wasters and risk for errors. I just don't get it.
It would be like if their patients kept getting up and running around, talking over the doctor, making phone calls, etc. while the doctor was trying to examine them or do surgery.
I am quite sure we have the only profession where we are supposed to work around and in spite of this type of thing. It's CRAZY!!
I think someone should say to someone ... are you KIDDING me?!!?
Do you think we could send anonymous letters (or make up a name for our group of MTs) to medical facilities and physicians and get any result? Like, start the letter, Have you ever thought about what it must be like to ... I really think we should try to do something.
Honestly, what year is it?!?
The deal is..
I feel for you, also; however, are coders paid on production? BIG difference,and I think most would agree that is where our main frustration lies. Time is money for us .. literally.
Happy Holidays to all! :)
What is the deal?
I have been recently looking for something part time to supplement what I am currently doing. It has been about 2 years since I have searched for a job, but in the past, I have always been responded to fairly quickly once I applied. I have 10 years experience with multiple specialties. I do not really want to work for any of the BIG companies anymore as I have done that in the past and hated it, and I'm only looking for IC work. I have never had this problem before so I'm assuming it has something to do with the economy. Has anyone else been experiencing this as well? 
99% of the company is not on SR -- what;s the deal??
Most of the company is not on speech rec and probably never will be. From my standpoint, SR is better than shipping it to India.
I like that Transcend is very open with all its MLSs.
I think sarcasm is the only way to deal
not Happy OSi'er....but another OSi'er who is happy
BIG HAIRY DEAL!!!!!
I know I am, but what are you? Pleeeeze!!!!! Are we adults here or are middle schoolers doing MT now?!
Not a good deal there! sm
You will be doing all different dictators and jumping back and forth from account to account with different formats. You have to format headers/footers and they are all different for each dictator. I tried it for 2 days and the owner sent me a picture of himself. How weird is that?!!! Kinda out there.........
?? Why the name calling? Deal with it..

Disappointed, but don't know what the deal is
I had an interview set up today by Amphion at 9:00 a.m. - no call. Very strange - she called me Monday morning and asked for my schedule this week to set up an interview - I told her anytime, any day except Friday - she said Wednesday at 9:00 EST. OK, now it's 9:56 and still no call. I'm so disappointed - she said my testing was awesome, etc. - maybe I'll give them a call later and see what happened? Don't know.
This is how I deal with low work
sometimes at MQ. I got a second job PT that is okay with my working extra unscheduled hours. If MQ runs out, I will work for the other company. I work on hospital work and to me, acute care is acute care. All my accounts are ESLs anyways, so it doesn't much matter to me. I just made sure my second job matched the cpl that MQ pays me. Also, I have almost 10 backup accounts at MQ, so very, very rarely totally run out of work.
no big deal, I guess...
Just some name-calling that seemed a little childish in the MT/MTSO debate down below. Thought that was a no-no, but it's obvious some people will never think the forum policies apply to them anyway, so why bother? These are usually the same people whining about getting no respect. Wonder why.
Well, little sistah, here's the deal.
I am paid for a 40-hour week. I spend 12 hours a day, and am on and off every weekend watching the recruiting software. I handle all applicants within hours of their application 24/7. So don't lump ME into your dreamland. However, when I check the boards and I see three do-do birds from Aslamabad, Illinois and five peep-heads with 2 years of experience typing IN SCHOOL, I do not feel that I am obligated to give them my time. Would you? Tell my FAMILY that I do NOTHING, you....you.....DOO-DOO BRAIN! Oh, and as a side note, when my recruiting director makes 30-day follow calls to my hires to check on the outcome, they LOVE me. Deal with that, dreary one.
CorTmedical....What is the DEAL?
Do they even have MTs working for them anymore? They do not pay their employees and they do not care. They need to just shut down their business! Anybody out there know what I can do about it? I am going report them to the Better Business Bureau.
I had to deal with her between coordinators...
Actually, I found her to be very rude and unprofessional...that is when she bothered to respond at all.
Asking about jobs: Here's the deal ... SM
We do not allow job wanted posts. If you wish to ask about a specific company, please do so on the Company board. However, posts asking other to just recommend companies are not allowed. We simply do not have the bandwidth.
If you have questions or issues about this, please email me - do not complain on the board about it.

The deal is this - offshoot of OSI
They are recruiting through MBB and MBS Transcription because they are having trouble replacing the people who are quitting. It is definitely a branch of OSi and they are using old applications and any other means possible to cull email addresses of MT's. They can't post ads here right now because their business practices have been exposed especially since their new partner has Indian interests. If you get an email from MBB or MBS delete it unless you want OSI contacting you to work for OSI.
