Yes, they added a tiny bit to the benefits, but now require 12,000 lines.

That was a low blow!!! It is almost impossible to get 10,000 lines on those nasty VA accounts and now they are requiring more. I will be looking for a new home. This sucks!!!

Nice people to work with. Lines never added up though.
I couldn't tell you about the benefits because I was part-time and didn't need them at that time. They use Dragon MT as their platform. I personally didn't like it.
They require 1150 lines per day
How many lines were required when you worked there? Why did it take you more than 8 hours to do 1150 lines?
Does OSi really require the 185 lines per hour that they ask for on their website? nm

pretty sure they require 1200 lines/pay pd for SE (nm)

SGS require 2400 daily lines?
Does anyone know if it is true that Superior Global Solutions out of Texas requires 2400 daily lines to qualify for full time and receive benefits? If so, is there enough work to actually make that many daily lines? Are they a good company to work for? Thanks in advance, all responses appreciated.

MDI-MA does not require a set schedule- you do your required lines in 24 hours. nm

Companies that require ONLY lines - not certain hours, preferably internet sm
based and part time. TIA
Only require 400 lines completed within 24 hours....good company...

10,0001 lines per pay period for FT with benefits. nm
It is perfectly legal. You need to be FT to get benefits. You need 12000 lines to be full time. I
period so there is no issue. Why do some people here try to make everything ugly?
What the person did NOT say is that it is averaged by quarter. So if you do 12,000 lines one time, 15,000 the next and 10,000 the following, it will balance out. They also do not count it against you if your account is slow.
Tiny, tiny, and tiny.

after doing a TINY bit of research ....
It seems its legal, as long as its non-invasive and doesn't ask questions that relate to sexual orientation, personal beliefs, etc. That would be an invasion of privacy. HIPAA for employees too (as well as ADA, etc).
In other words, the psych tests can be for ability to perform the work, etc, VERY work related.
(This makes very little sense, its a headache day for me, so thinking is a bad thing to do!).... back to my couch :-)
You must have some tiny hospitals, then.
A few docs shouldn't make that big of a difference. Plus if you've been reviewing the Community Page over the last several weeks, you should realize that there is more going on than vaca time for docs. Management just isn't letting us in on it.
you tiny tinny little
coward - at least that's what you appear to be with your self-righteous judgmental posts.
Or are you just a troll who enjoys the reaction you get by posting knee-jerk insults?
You're sad either way, that's for sure.
It is EASY to stand in judgement of one you do NOT know.
YOUR experience is not everyone else's. Try to grow up - this you have *NOT* DONE yet.
Agreed. I also got a nice Christmas bonus working for a tiny private practice. sm
In a smaller office you're seen as an actual person.
Thanks, ADDED!
nm
actually, I added it up.
I added up where all the numbers are in parentheses and it came out I lost more than I had in there. I'm waiting for them to send me a bill!!
You don't know how that can happen? It just keeps going down, down, down until poof, all gone. Did yours increase? Probably not. They can decrease until they completely disappear and that's what happened to mine. Luckily, it was the smallest of all the 401K's I have.
How about they added an ad. I proof all day, can't seem to
do it when I don't have to.
Precyse MTs: Have any of you added your own
nm
Has anyone added Stedman's to the DQS or
nm
I should also have added that I do not work
for Milner. I'm just tired of seeing all the bashing going on all the time.
and then there's the added joy of a timeclock!
nm
Unless they've added even more
Mine was cut a couple days ago in a one-on-one phone call.
added to my above post...for the accounts that they have. nm
--
They added several new accounts this summer
so I don't know which one you are talking about, but I have been out of work for 2 days too and despite asking for a back-up account I have yet to get one. I do know that another account is coming on-line next month, though they have hired people for it and those people are probably working on the other accounts in the meantime, taking work from the estabilshed MTs.
New work types are being added to ML
.
they added a big hospital in september - nm
nm
Should have added that I would especially like to hear from those with hospital emp status. nm
x
LOLOL! I don't think we will ever run out of work. They have added three huge
accounts this month alone and I know that there are two scheduled for next month and two the month after. They are growing like crazy and I cannot believe we will ever be slow.
yes, there is plenty of work.....and has been since the new account was added 8/4
I love it....
They did say that, with the added "foreseeable future." Right in their own article about the
acquisition it says something about moving some of those jobs onto their VR platform, as well as stating that they plan to offshore more and more work. So they are concerned about making lots of moola, not the MTs having jobs. Somewhere in there it even stated something to the effect of they can make more $ by using FEWER MTs with their VR platform. See the thread above about how the current people have no work on the NIGHT SHIFT, watch it disappear at 10 p.m. every night, even tho they said they only offshore BECAUSE nobody will work the night shift. And yet the poor night shift worker sits there with no work and watches it go to India. That's a travesty, especially in our current economy with astronomical unemployment rates.
That account has now added clinic and there are 2 other accounts moving to it. Not sure why they
want the experience, except maybe they need to get them started quickly, and that is easier if they know it in advance.
BTW: The account did get easier as they added work types.
1800 lines is easily achieved. I average 300-340 lines per hour. nm
x
10 lines per minute = 1500 lines for 150 minutes - average. nm

I average 1200-1400 lines per day with a national, and am only getting around 600-800 lines per day.
It's been this way since the day before Thanksgiving. I've been doing this for almost 30 years now, and more often than from Thanksgiving until the new year is the slowest time of the year. I have some months where I am swamped with up to 2000 lines per day. I stash that little extra money, and take advantage of a handful of extremely slow days this time of the year to actually cook dinner, decorate for Christmas, or do Christmas shopping. I actually anticipate this slow time every year and have grown to enjoy the breathing time. Any time I have attempted to pick up extra work with another company to supplement these slow times, the minute I get adjusted to the new accounts, etc. I have no time to finish all of my work because my full time job with national gets slammed again. Hang in there if you can, and hopefully your work will pick up significantly around New Years.
They work with you to make sure you get the lines required or the amount of lines you want...
I have never had a problem getting more work
Minimum lines for FT used to be 60,000 keystrokes a day, about 925 lines. Pay was good. Just not a
s
Yes it is possible to double your lines. I cant type 460 lines an hour but I can get those with VR
x
Regular lines, not weighted lines
was what I got paid for....
12K lines payperiod is 6K lines a week.
nm
0.8 x 1000 lines = $80.00 - 0.8 x 1500 lines = $120.
they cannot require that of an IC.nm
What does FTP mean? Require for job. nm
dd
They require 40 from me anyway nm
nm
They only require you to do 3... nm
X
I should add that they are going to require sm
at least 2500 lines per week as a minimum and do not have a lot of PT positions. It really depends where they have gaps in coverage.
How many lpd does Transhealth require for sm
employee status? 1200? Do they also require a 40 hour week commitment or just a line committment? Would prefer to have just a line commitment. TIA
Moderator: Can you require sm
ads to give a company name as well as IC, statutory or employee status?? Would make things much clearer and simpler. Thanks, MomMT
Not just MT, most Employers require it now
It is becoming quite common for any employer, not just MT Services, to do a Credit Check now. Some companies think that if you cannot handle your finances (late payment, judgments, etc), you will not make a good employee or you might be tempted to try to cheat on something. Since past employers are reluctant to give any information besides dates of employment for fear of being sued, new employers had to find some other way to dig up the dirt, so to speak. Just the sign of our times. No one trusts anyone anymore. Nothing personal. Used to be you could just send in a copy of your ID (Driver's license, SS card, passport, etc), and now they want you to have it Notorized, but still get it back to them within the 72 hours required. Best advice -- find a job you like and try to stay there -- forever!! 
They most certainly require weekends and
They assigned me F-M schedule second and third shift, saying it was all that was available. I was the go-to MT in my previous positions and always at the top of the QA pile and production at an acute care facility with 1000+ beds. Loads of experience and great education. Spheris recruiting could not have been less interested in talking with me (I know for a fact that my manager recommended me to them and spoke very highly of me), yet their ads looking for help are everywhere. How is it possible with all their openings that I'm assigned F-M evenings and nights?????
Is there a way to talk directly to account supervisors?
