Rapid Tran-Script, LTD versus Rapid Transcript, Inc
Is Rapid Tran-Script, LTD and Rapid Transcript, Inc both are same companies? I will really appricate any information regarding this.
Rapid Tran-Script, LTD using Demesys as their workflow system name.
I am working for them from the last two months but not have getting paid till now...........Thanks!
Who did she fire?
Can you give the initials? Just curious. I keep seeing the e-mails coming through for quality department positions. I wondered what was up.
Did they actually tell you they would fire you?
I am ignoring the paperwork until pushed. How do they know I even got it? My attorney says that arbitration agreement would not stand up in a court of law anyhow.
They cannot fire you just because you
are pregnant. There would have to be a cause as you are an employee. It is discrimination if they get rid of you just because you are expecting.
They can't fire an ex-employee.

where there's smoke there's fire!
Obviously more than one person has come forward and said they were told work is going to India. The person who told me was not a "mere" MT. Everyone knows they're sending work to India but no one on this site is going to stand by their promise of USA companies only! I'm sure Webmedx is not far from turning into another Medware and trying to turn all us MTs in to janitors to clean by the C**P that these Indians put out. This is just another example of the big companies turning our jobs over to India and then waving their flags trying to hide what they are about. I can't believe this site actually expects companies to "publish" they're stabbing us in the back while they're smiling to our faces asking us to come to work for them (until they decide they want editors and not MTs).
Wake up Administrator! No one is going to admit they're the "bad guys"! When are we Americans going to start standing up for own jobs!!
They don't like to fire people, so when they
would like someone to leave for whatever reason, they get the no work thing or the worst dictators. Until this week I could work 24/7. Never, ever (except during hurricanes) have I not got my lines, rarely have to call for work, NEVER told to take a day off.
let them fire you ... and collect
As long as you are not being fired for not keeping to your schedule/agreement, etc., I'm pretty sure you can collect when fired (even if you weren't making your line count, were ill, etc.) It's much harder to collect (and easier for them to dispute the claim) when you resign.
Spheris WILL NOT give you a good reference. They make a permanent note on your record so you can't re-apply either. So forget that!
IMO, you should just wait it out, if you can, and collect while you're looking for something worthwhile.
Good luck.
frying pan to fire.
stay away and see if MQ gets their act together.
Maybe so they can fire the slackers? nm
.
If I'm not mistaken, they can't fire you for doing so
.
Most MT services can fire you "at will" and it is in most
contracts that you sign.
However, I will tell you working in QA that generally if an MT has quality issues, they have had enough feedback to warrant it. I just do not think there is any place for someone that has a problem with quality.
However, the fair thing to do in my opinion is to limit reports until the quality issues have a chance to go up and then if they do not, then someone might be out the door.
You will find another job. Just try to work on your quality so this does not happen again.
So you would fire one for exercising RIGHT to free

After their email the other day about looking to fire people, I'd say …
x
why the water bucket being thrown on the fire
?
I know people there who need to be fired and they won't fire them. That just simply sm
is not true. They are a very nice company. They have benefits which include PTO and sick time.
can you give initials? Trying not to jump into the fire.
nm
That's hilarious..and then when they call to fire you for not doing them..Tell them TOO LATE..
I quit...MONTHS AGO..LOL
RadMT was trying to help. The descision to fire did not rest
x
This is crazy. Every week another company goes under fire. sm
I want to change from MQ to save my sanity, but every week when I check out the postings, there is another company that is being lynched. This is a tough crowd, isn't it? I don't know how to weed through and figure out what is hype good and bad versus what is real. I think I would be better off spinning a wheeling or flipping a coin than trying to balance out what is true here.
Does anyone else feel this way? Where can we go for real answers?
I would fire someone for biting the hand that feeds them
it has nothing to do with free speech but it MIGHT have something to do with defammation of character or slander, whichever is appropriate.
The email was not about looking to fire people. Yes, they are hiring. sm
The email stated that everyone must maintain certain levels for production and for QA in order to stay a Keystrokes' employee.
They were reassuring us that even in this depression or recession, or whatever it is being called now, we will have work to do and that they are still growing.
There are 2 openings on my account, so I know that they are hiring, and there is a new account starting next week too.
No its true, they will FIRE YOU after 3 days of training
...IF you dont hit 98%. they are just unreasonable in this manner. Totally ridiculous, like the ones firing you are not human and never had to learn anything to get WHERE THEY ARE!
Too much info often makes fuel for fire for those looking to flame (sm)
If an individual is actually looking exactly what is wrong with E-mailing that individual? A person can post hateful comments anonymously on this board, but when you are E-mailing back and forth people tend to be more friendly and less critical. JMO
My hubs retired as a fire captain. Great benefits, thank God! nm

Most contracts said either party can quit or fire at any time. Would be unusual to get locked into
s
Thought TX was "at will" employment?? or fire/quit immediately w/o reason

Rapid
It happened to me 2 years ago, and through some digging I found out it had been going on for over 2 years already. I've been watching the posts since then, and it's still going on now. I finally got my money, but it took quite a while. I hope you manage to get some results with the AG. Good luck!
Rapid
They have a long history of not paying.
Rapid
They have a long history of not paying people. I worked for them 4 years ago, found out it had been happening for at least 2 years, and according to the boards, it's still happening.
RAPID
I applied for Radiology Trans. Pay scale is WAY TOO LOW. Don't bother
Rapid
I worked for them on several Rad accounts. Pay scale was great. The problem was getting the money I had earned. From what I found out, they have long history of not paying their people.
Rapid
This problem has been going on for years. It's been over 3 years since I got my last paycheck from them. I have diligently watched the boards since then to warn anyone else not to work for them. I was threatened by Rapid's owner with a deformation of character lawsuit. What a joke!
Rapid Transcript
I would like to contact anyone that has ever worked for Rapid Transcript out of Los Angeles or Las Vegas. I am contacting the Attorney General Offices in both of those states regarding the pay practice (or no pay practice) of this company.
Rapid Transcript
I would be more than careful of this company. It does not pay its MTs.
Rapid Transcript
Stay away from Rapid Transcript -- PLEASE!!!
Rapid Transcript
I started with Rapid about a month ago and received my first check yesterday. Maybe they are changing their ways.
Rapid Transcript
Anyone work for or know anything about Rapid Transcript?
Rapid Transcript
They appear to have an Indian connection now. See their current ad. I suppose only time will tell if this has improved anything or not.
Rapid Transcript
Anyone out there working for Rapid Transcript as an editor? How long do you have to wait before being paid? I was thinking about starting to work for them but am having second thoughts. Would love to hear from current employees.
Rapid Transcript
Amy is so right about this company using new employees to get free work. Last year, I was hired by them to be a QA Editor. They had a probation period (which I completely understand), but they were so fussy when it came to formatting, punctuation, spacing, etc. that they kept asking that I transcribe 5 more reports -- yes TRANSCRIBE! I was hired as an editor, but I was required to transcribe these reports so that they could make sure I understood what their process was. To make a long story short, after being asked to transcribe 5 more reports about 10 times, I finally stood up and said something. They then proceed to say that I was not what there were looking for in an editor, but that if I wanted a transcription job, they would be more than happy to hire me!!! Can you believe their gall? I wasn't good enough to be an editor, which I never really got a chance to do in the first place, and then they offered me a typing job! I, too, had a lot of trouble getting payment from these people. I would email two, maybe three, times a day asking about my payment. It took months (after I verbally refused to work for them until I received payment) and finally I received it in full and said good riddens to bad rubbish! PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY!!
Rapid Transcript
Are you a new employee, i.e. hired in the last month? If you read your contract with Rapid, it takes 30 days to get you into the system and process your first check. I was upset that I did not get paid after being with the company 2 weeks until someone pointed out the clause in the the contract, which I had not read carefully enough. I have worked for companies who have done the same thing - made me wait a month for my first check. When I saw this and other posts, I confronted the company about it. The person with whom I spoke was very nice and patient about it and stated emphatically that I would receive my first check and when. I know Rapid has had problems in the past, but rather than get upset over these posts, which I did, I am going to give the company a chance.
Rapid Transcription - CA (sm)
I know there are past posts that this company does not pay. Does anyone have any recent experience, say within the last 3-4 months with this company? I have an opportunity to transcribe for them, but need to make sure that I am going to be paid and ON TIME. Thanks for any and all feedback.
Don't wanna get burned!!!
Rapid Transcription
I worked for Rapid for one night. There was no training at all and I could not find out to whom you address a question. The whole hiring process seemed very strange to me, so I quit before I could encounter a monetary loss. I do believe it is a company in India.
Rapid Transcript
Anyone know anything about them? Just did a radiology test. Looking for company with benefits for part time. Any out there?
Thanks
Rapid Transcript
Nevermind my last post. Just saw all the feedback on them. Too bad I just wasted all this time doing their darn test.
Rapid Transcript
Any info on Rapid Transcript in CA?
rapid transcript
I guess I should say recent experience with them since I just read the old reviews ;(
Could be Rapid Transcript. nm
xx
Rapid Transcript, Inc.
Yes, that's it. Now I have seen some replies in very old posts so was wondering if anybody could give me a more recent heads-up on them?
Thanks in advance.
Rapid Text
Very good
