Waiting for mine too. sm
Not to scare you, but it took 6 weeks to get my first one. I was shorted on both checks too. Were we supposed to get paid the 15th? They are always late so I do not know.
I heard everyone should receive them by 10/7. Still waiting on mine.

I would stick it out, most places are slow now through the end of the year every year (nm)

Mine isn't slow at all

WELL SAID TT12 - mine hasn't run out yet (I love slow times though)
Wow! The new year slow down at TT sure seems to be over!
We are up to our necks in work! Holy Schmoley!
It is slow this time of the year EVERY - anybody that has done......sm
transcription for any length of time knows that.
Is this a slow time of year or what?
?
It's always some excuse with TT. It's been slow for over a year.

I pay mine $12,000 a year over what they
had averaged for the last 3 years. I promote from within. If a company has good MTs and treats them like humans rather than machines, there should never be a reason for them to try to recruit management positions from the outside. I would say recruiting for a team lead or an account manager by an established company is a red flag with skull and cross-bones on the background -- no one currently in the company apparently wants to be mistreated and underpaid for working long hard shifts for less than they would make if they were transcribing during that same length of time.
If you read between the line on recruiting ads, you can tell a lot about a company. Forget the name, you can name a company anything, that means nothing, but if you have continuous ads for help then there are flags out there, large companies included. A good reputation travels by word of mouth and by referrral from current employees, and if those are missing, then company has to advertise.
Slow is normal from Thanksgiving through New Year's. (nm)

I think work is typically slow this time of year sm
and I am surmising they are not wanting a backlog to build because a lot of MTs are also taking time off for the holidays leaving a skeleton crew on some accounts. I am sure it will all be busier than ever in a week or so. I have been able to get my line counts and then some everyday so far. Everywhere I have ever worked gets a little slow towards the holidays.
It's usually pretty slow this time of the year and TT is no different. The new accounts
they are hiring for will be starting next month and from what I understand they will need to hire more than 120 MTs between now and the end of the year for the four new hospitals, so I am not too worried about it.
Slow time of year = no work. Basically the same. If
x
I would wait it out because it is slow this time of year anways...
then after the holidays, if no better, time to start looking...good luck and hang in there!!!
I keep mine filed per year with my taxes.
In the event of an audit, I believe they can go back 7 years.
It's neither. It's ALWAYS slow this time of year, between Spring Break and Easter.
By the week after next we'll be drowning in work.
always slow this time of year...doctors take extra days off, et cetera.
it will pick back up again soon...
I got mine last week. It was postmarked 1/22/08. I actually have a refund coming this year! sm
I had been an IC for so long that I forgot how fun it is to get a refund, even if only $127!
I hope you're right. I've been waiting 4 wks for an ID - still waiting! nm

Depends on the account. Work on VR lately has been slow. Just like all companies, we have slow times
Honestly though, I have only had 2-3 times in the past 2 years where it was like the other day...no work... It did pick up later but I just think it's important not to make someone think we're overloaded with work all the time. That would not be fair to them if they end up with high expectations.
No - it is not always slow! Depends on the company and hospital. I have never been slow this time
Slow time is usually in September when everyone is back to work/school from the summer months.
Been doing this 24 years and never slow this time of year. Actually, I am drowning in work - can't keep up.
I bet you 1 million $$ you won't find one on mine. Mine is
2 years old and it does not have a 9-pin serial port, nor does it have a game port. I have used both ports on other computers so I know what both ports look like. I also have a company provided computer and it does have the ports on it.
my first year I made 16k. Doubled that second year. Going on year 6 with (sm)
two local accounts I earned 23,000.00 and a national I earned 35,400... 58,400 this year. Don't ask me how many hours, though, I really have no idea. I'm pretty motivated. (When people ask me how many hours I work a week I reply as many as it takes I'd say 40-50/week. I am also a fitness instructer and personal trainer, about 5 hours a week or so. Decent money (sometimes under the table!) but mostly I just do it for fun and to be social and wear cute work-out clothes.
that first year was a rough one... but I consider it part of my education.
I'm pretty motivated.
Last year, there was a letter sent that told us what we earned the previous year. sm
In the past, it has been all or nothing; if you did not hit the lines for full time for the year, you did not get PTO. I talked to my lead this morning about a last-minute vacation and she told me that the yearly packets are going out in a week or so and that the new policy will acrue PTO by the pay period or month. I like that a lot better, but she also made it sound like they are upping the amount of lines needed to acrue PTO. I normally get between 15 and 20,000 lines per pay period, so I am sure that will be fine but I am worried about the periods that have lower volumes, like most of January every year.
Webmedx lets you carry them from year to year sm
You can accrue up to 140 hours (I think) before you stop the accrual process. Don't have to use it all in one year.
You are doing better than I am. Still waiting...
...on the paycheck. Maybe those 100% gals get the debit cards, and those idjits, like me, who mess up a comma, don't get a debit cardiac?
(Kidding, kidding, antcipating my debit card with high excitement.)
Still waiting on MQ
not getting my hopes up, of course. Happy MT Week!
Still waiting...
I'm still waiting for mine 
Anyone else still waiting for W-2 from DSG?
They said they were sending it out this week. Sure seems SLOW this year.
What are you waiting for? Get out now! nm

I'm still waiting.............SM
for someone to reveal how they know that the account has been lost. There appears to be at least one individual who enjoys starting rumors of QT's demise on this board, and we have survived these rumors before. If anyone feels they know the truth and can tell me how they know it, please divulge on this board or e-mail me. I'm not leaving my job based on what appears to most of us to be pure rumor, at least to the majority of employees. If anyone feels they know the truth and can tell me how they know it, please divulge on this board or e-mail me. Thanks.
You will be waiting until the 15. They
do not process your check the day you send in your time sheet.
waiting...
It would be considerate of them to at least let us know what is going on. They have not said one word about going to VR with any of the accounts. I have been with them for years and it's very unprofessional of them to ignore us and expect us to just sit back and wait until they have work for us to do. Yes it is a slow time of year, but FN has been slow across the boards for the last 8-10 months now, even with picking up new accounts. How does that make sense?
waiting
Why wait that long...would email or call, things get lost and forgotten especially this time of year, at least you would know instead of waiting and wondering...
Waiting here too
impatiently, I might add (LOL) . . . just my personality. I wonder how long it will take to hear back. I know she is busy, but hopefully we'll know soon since she is looking to hire quickly.
I had some trouble with #1 also.
I'm not waiting around for them to get their act together sm
My bills won't wait until they get another account or whatever it is they are planning on doing. My bills aren't tolerating this cut in salary, either. I have to think of me and my family. I have juggled everything as much as I can juggle it and now I am making the decision to get out. I can't stand doing 12 hour days for a bare minimum paycheck.
Also waiting
Yes, I also thought it has been strangely quiet. The first week after the announcement, there were e-mails asking for our input and questions, and now nothing. I hope the early signs of willingness to work with us and keep things that are working don't just die on the vine.
waiting for work
For anybody that has worked with transform..............Have you have experienced this. I have been waiting for work to be asigned to me for four hours. Yes, they asign work to you......................I have been with this company for two weeks. I made a mistake, I put the wrong date of service on a report...............................So I am wondering if this is the reason why my e-mail has not been answered, nor my phone calls, nor AOL messenger. I have not made mistakes with medical words, at least that I know (although I have not gottent a lot of feedback). I have been transcribing in this particular speciality for 7 years, so I don't think I made huge mistakes.
Have anybody experienced this?
I'm waiting for them to take the spaces
xx
I have been waiting all night for - sm
someone to say that. I feel better already!
WAITING FOR WORK!!!
In your response to FutureNet. I am currently working for them. It is a good company, easy platform, great people, but I am waiting for work as I type. I think they have over-hired, we are now caught up and out of work. Doesn't pay the bills!
Soon to be in the poor house
Waiting for work
Do you have other accounts with FN? I have four and if work is REALLY low I wait and do work for the other service I am employed with. We have several new accounts coming on and some of them are still in the testing stage. But it is also that time of the year.
Waiting for work
I also have 4 different accounts that I can work on, so running out of work doesn't happen very often for me.
I think it's a yes to all. I use ShortHand. Waiting to be set up for the
s
Thanks! I'm waiting for W2s from Precyse and MQ, as well. nm

Waiting to see what rates are!
Wow, $400 a month is higher than I'm paying now and I thought it was high! I currently pay $340 a month for family but the coverage is very good. I did hear that they have a new rate plan coming in. I will wait to see what I hear from this change. I have to have good insurance. My husband does have some health issues.
One last question....can someone tell me how soon insurance starts when you hire on with Keystrokes? Do you have to wait 3 or 6 months or does it go in effect on Day 1? My current job insurance went into effect Day 1. But they are outsourcing some to India starting this month and I'm afraid we may all be out of jobs soon. Doesn't look good. I may check into the plan to just purchase myself and not have to worry about changing jobs, etc.
Thanks for all your replies, I appreciate it.

Waiting for Future-Net
About a week ago I received an email from Future-Net stating I had passed all the testing and a recruiter would be contacting me....I am still waiting a week later. Is this normal for them?
TIA
still waiting on my paycheck
this company is a joke
still waiting on my check from TTS
@#$%&
Still waiting for an answer.
I did all my testing and had my phone interview with the recruiter and Jean but have not heard anything back. Last communication was on Monday. They seemed really intrigued as I said I would work 6 hours on Monday and Friday and 4 or more on Saturday and Sunday. Should I call them or just keep waiting? I have lots of experience with ESL's and currently work in an acute setting. Seemed like everything they wanted to hear. How long does the hiring process normally take? Thanks in advance.
