But the company is Medical Bazaar in Illinois.
Does anyone know anything about a company called Chart Notes out of Illinois - sm
Do they offshore? They claim to have transcriptionists with 10-12 years experience. Any info on this company or experience anyone has had with this company would really help us out.
Do not be paranoid. I'm not with Shapin. Its a small company in Illinois.
Again, be careful when working for a company in Illinois that has a Jayne Mattingly

Resume/Contacts
I posted mine in May of 2005 and am still getting calls, even got one today...
No everyone can see with glasses and/or contacts
I wore both for years, did not mind either one but then in about the first of 2000 got to where I could not find glasses or contacts either one that would give me satisfactory eyesight. I tried really because I hated to think about having my eyes operated on. I had no choice because I could not see the BIG GREEN FREEWAY signs. I had Lasik because that was my only option.
6 cpl - If anyone contacts them, let us know what "experienced" means to them. nm

Temping is a great way to make contacts,
learn new specialties, and even pick up a permanent job (which happened to me three times). If you have your own clients, temping is also good for extra money if your docs get slow. Best of all, if it doesn't work out, you just walk away. Good luck!
DOL CONTACTS TO REPORT FOCUS/NUANCE
Hello,
Whenever an employer requires you to work a certain schedule or attend a mandatory training, they are are absolutely required to pay you a minimum wage. Period.
Long story short, I was in the same boat and contacted DOL a few months back. With regards to Nuance/Focus, a company located near Boston, MA, here is the DOL office to contact regarding the issue of not getting paid properly:

Transcription Services of Illinois
Does anyone have any information on this company? I've been contacted by them and have had several email conversations with one person in particular. She seems pretty sure about wanting me to help out and said she would contact me today but so far I have not heard from her, even after sending an email to her regarding this this morning. Just wondering if I should persue this or not. Thanks in advance.
Words R Us out of Illinois ? Is this legit?
TSI Illinois? Just found old info - help please
Any info on this company is greatly appreciated. I have done a search but seems info is old and mostly negative. If anyone can provide updated info, that would be welcome.
Anything on Southern Illinois Transcription
I am just curious if they have good accounts, what type, VR or straight typing? Are they a good company to work for? Do they pay at least 8 cpl? Thanks
Southern Illinois Transcription...from below...sm
 Please steer clear of this one. the owner is rude, moody, and sends out emails YELLING (all caps) Threatening and if you try to contact other MTs who work on the same account with you, she gets hightly ticked off. I told her she was crazy and then was gone! Maybe she needed medication or something.
interesting. Here is TSI illinois info

If you read your paperwork, you'll see that is an option they have. Also, the state of Illinois
does not have right to work law, any employer can fire you at any time without cause.
yes, Blue Fox Software out of Illinois. Microsoft partner, Gold Standard, etc.
they make White Tiger, a business intelligence system, and their top programmer is Tom. I'm sure they can make something very nice for you. Tell them Jo sent you! link below
Beware
They caused me nothing but grief because I pointed out a spelling/typo error in their ad. But a a friend, subcontractor of mine, did call them and they pay about 5-6 cents a line. She said that she could not pay more because she did not charge her clients that much as attorneys won't pay but I would not believe her. Anyway they caused havoc to my life on this board for a long time until Admin stepped in. Look at their ad and unless they have changed it there are typo's. Would you want to work for a company with that type of quality?
beware
Don't go to work for Spheris. I just left there after 3 years of employment because they continuously had low work. I asked repeatedly (very nicely) to be placed on other accounts that were not VR (they only have one). Well, they have not paid me for my last 24 hours (3 work days) worked because they must approve of your hours/lines worked on a certain account. What a jerk company. I clocked in and clocked out just like everyone else does for these large national companies. I hope no one comes on and attacks my post and thinks I'm being malicious or hateful, because I worked on rather difficult acute care accounts for this company throughout my employment with them, was a loyal employee, and always worked my schedule. I also altered my schedule several different times to work later hours (past 1:00 a.m.) and weekend hours (all weekend). If the moderator finds fault with this post or thinks it's slanderous, well then SOMEONE needs to take a deeper look into these larger companies treating their much needed, hard-working MTs like CRAP, all in the name of us working from home. They are nothing but a bunch of bullies there and are not a nice company. No wonder so many people have left them and gone to smaller companies. The smart MTs left and saved their own skins.
TC beware
TC used to be a good company, but they have hit a rocky road, a lot of management turn over lately. They seem to run out of work often to. I would just go in to it being aware.!
Beware
Typingforpennies, please be aware of spi. They sound great and offer great perks but if you don't have work you have nothing.
Beware of D&L
If you are looking to get paid for the work you do, beware of D&L Typing. They promise the world, especially that they will pay on time, then when payday comes they have the lamest and most commonly used reasons for not be able to pay you. Or, on the off chance that you do get paid, the check will bounce. I wish all of you good luck and, please, beware of D&L.
Why Beware???
I have been working there a month and everything seems to be just fine.
Beware of SPi
For any MTs/QAs out there that may be looking at different companies to work for, beware of SPi-BPO. They are not worth it. They constantly mistreat many of their employees and their Open Door Policy is nonexistent even though they will tell you Our door is always open. Yeah, right. And with their new line count status, line counts are going down and you are expected to meet a quota within your 8 hours that some people were not even meeting before the line status changed. Upper management is often unaccessible/does not care. There are a few nice people there, but emphasis is on 'few.' Yes, I know I sound disgruntled, and after watching the way some of my ex-coworkers have been treated, I probably am. Thankfully, I found a great company to work for and their platform is nearly perfect! Goodbye SPi and hello to actually having a life again and not believing I'm going to get laid off any day now.
Beware
Stay away from Transportal at all costs for various reasons, please read your e-mail.
Beware
If anyone is planning on working for Global Info Systems out of Texas, mostly indian owned.
I don't know, but beware of the ones
that are always hyped up as good co's by other MTs. Not every company is a good fit for everyone!
Yes Beware
They do not honor contract; tried to force hours/schedule on IC status by having submit a schedule and then there was no work and was told still had to be available during those hours even if I did the work later in the day if it came in after scheduled hours. They do not understands the IC flexibility as long as it was done in 24 hours. New manager tried to tell me to start at early a.m. on schedule when there was no work. When I asked what days the doctor would be dictating or working so I could fix a schedule to submit for them I was told they could not ask their doctors that question. I just wanted to know what days they would be expecting work so I could fix a schedule. There was supposed to be a 14 day termination time but they terminated me that day for asking for help on getting a schedule down that would work. Owner would not communicate. Switched accounts to new account and only got it for 3 days and could not make a schedule based on that as it was sporadic. They did not follow contract but not worth pursuing. The office manager is not a MT and she was doing QA on work. Unable to talk to the owner. Asked to resolve problem with schedule but IC status is not how they interpret it. I got behind just a bit for 24 hour TAT but we had no clue how much she would download finally and they were long reports. Once had 100 minutes and as soon as I finished she wanted me to start another 85. I needed a break. One day she called me and said Are you typing not 30 minutes after the work was loaded to transcibe after I waited all day. Not professional at all.
This is the one that comes up beware!

TO BEWARE - WHERE THE H*** DO YOU GET YOUR INFORMATION -
Their biggest accounts are not done overseas. I am on one OF THEIR BIGGEST ACCOUNTS. My work is not rerecorded (however, yes, yours might have been). Maybe you were not a good Transcriptionist and they needed to keep you on a small account!!!
Medware and BEWARE
No response for about 2-3 weeks after submitting my resume and ANOTHER 2 weeks of mismanagement and their set up -- NO training manuals, etc or anything else after promises that sent it by mail when I received equipment, the box was damaged and damp and here in the Southwest, we dont have rain.
I was hired by them for a potential management position FIRST offer letter was for a Transcriptionist at 8.5 with 20+ years experience - their second offer letter was for an Editor - hourly -- this was AFTER talking to the recruiter for a QA position -- I then received a call the next day, to be a shift leader/QA person -- etc., which NEVER came to be - I had a set schedule, but with problems with set up with software etc, it took yet another week - my QA was cleared in 2 days and in this WONDERFUL position, being paid an hourly salary -- all I did was transcribe -- when I told my supervisor that I wanted a percentage breakdown between transcribing and supervisory duties -- this person could not break it down -- I called my recruiter and was told if you are so unhappy, quit -- nice to be treated that way -- I am not the only person who has been in this position and there is a a certain supervisor who has her own company, who works for Medware, but is hiring employees for her company and they are doing Medware accounts -- the ONLY positive is even though I have NOT returned the foot pedal etc, they still sent a check
