assign jobs as in....?
Is this the person that assigns all the crappy stuff to the more skilled MTs and gives less skilled ones the gravy? Hope its not my company.
Is it usual for company to assign specific jobs?
I'm just so frustrated right now. I've had some jobs assigned to me that are from one of my backup accounts, not just one but many, and many ESLs, which has really brought my line count down. I know I have to just deal with it, but I'm wondering if this is a normal occurrence. I got hired under the idea that I was on a low ESL account, which my main account is, but not the backup accounts. This doesn't happen all the time, but it is happening more frequently now. Do I have a reason to be frustrated with this, or should I just get over it and accept it?
At OSi, we don't actually assign out work
We only reassign a job that someone has started and lost, sign off a job that's been completed but the voice didn't sign off propertly, etc. We do not assign jobs to people. They have certain work types in their profile which is set by the coordinator, and then these work types download automatically, in order of target turnaround time, to the MTs, including to us. We cannot assign all the good jobs to ourself or to any buddies we might have. It is easy to tell jobs that are specifically assigned and we would be questioned as to why we are assigning out jobs if we tried to pull something like that.
Does DRC assign specific worktypes or do you sm
get a regular account like with the big nationals? TIA
Assign doctors and eliminate cp. I know, I know, it definitely would take some
additional managerial involvement but IMHO it would be a w/w situation. Happy transcriptionists, more dollars, happy happy happy
Spheris will most likely assign you another account.

Can you apply and ask for 1 particular office or does MQ assign you per the need at the time? Used
,
Any companies out there who assign a specific group of
dictators instead of accounts with hundreds of dictators? TIA. 
for me it was show me the platform, then assign 2 esl and 1 neuro.
nm
Are there any companies that assign a certain amount of work per day
Instead of having to pull from pool? PLEASE - PLEASE - TELL ME! 
companies that assign a certain amount of work
Princeton Transcription out of New Jersey assigns work according to how many minutes of dictation you want a day.
then that account will disappear and they'll assign another.

Cherrypicking is when you work from a pool of jobs and being able to reject the worst jobs to those
,
Monster Jobs and Career Builder usually have a few path jobs. nm

Don't think any do except for those in-house jobs. Some QA jobs are paid hourly. nm

They didn't take our jobs, QT gave them our jobs. The account is now
back in the hands of US MTs, or will be in just a couple of weeks.
Are MTs that are looking for jobs finding good jobs right now with everyone looking or is it
getting more difficult to find a good job. I am most interested in jobs for experienced MTs with more than 10 years service. I wonder if it is better to put a resume on or just keeping applying or what is the best way to go about this.
Look at all the jobs on the jobs boards.
You can find a job and won't have to apply for unemployment. You would be surprised how many companies need qualified MTs! Go get 'em and get 'em now!
Don't wait until the 11th hour. Too many needs to put your hat in the unemployment slot.
What they lost is our gain.
If the bill is currently in limbo, why would they assign the same bill number to another bill?
I'm not trying to argue with you here and I think that outsourcing is a very important issue that needs to be addressed by congress. What I'm saying is make sure you have all the correct information.
Are they USA based
do they have a lot of ESLs? Is the pay fair? TIA.
Based on -
When you work in a production environment, you are paid for production. You are expected to meet certain quality requirements. So why should you be paid more just because you have a certain number of years in? There are some very BAD MTs with many years experience, and some very good ones with just a few. If you are good, quick, and accurate, you will make more. What's so unfair about that?
Is that based on
gross $$ or net $$? That is an unusual way of determining FT/PT status.
only want internet based too. nm

That's an answer that can only be based on
If you can produce a lot of lines per hour (300-350 or more), then you're not going to make money on VR. Depending on what your company offers as a rate for VR is what you would have to use to arrive at a base figure. One company pays 60%. That means in order to just break even you'd have to produce 40% more than you do in straight typing. That means at 350 lines per hour straight typing, you'd have to produce 490 lph in VR just to break even. Then you'd have to take into consideration that when you do VR you're not editing like QA editing. You have to completely edit the whole report, read the whole thing, and correct all errors. This sometimes takes as much time as straight typing depending on the dictator. Some are very easy. Some you have to correct almost the entire report. Chances are that you're not going to consistently get very easy reports every day, all day. If you're working on an overflow account for a client that has in-house transcription or for a client that has multiple transcription services, you can bet your bottom dollar that you're not getting the easy reports at all, let alone consistently.

They use DOS-based software sm
Medtype and Medrite. Nothing done in Word. All DOS-even email. Use PC anywhere for file transfer over phone line. 6 cents per line to start. QA 98-100 is very difficult to get and maintain. They supply equipment.
Actually it's based on four things...
The pay plan is based on production, QA scores, how much you send for help, and whether you have a CMT. It is evaluated every month. By the way, the pay plan was actually created through our employee vision team, which gives employees input into how the company is run. I happen to like it as it means I make more money when I am able to produce more and I get that increase for at least a month. Has worked for me and others to give consistent raises for good performance. The platform is pretty easy, there are people who are doing 2500-3000 lines/day on it.
Not based on average..
PTO is based on 1200 lines, not by an average.
U.S. based company
Softscript, Inc. or www.softscript.com is completely U.S. based, no offshoring. A nice company to work for (from home). Located in Santa Monica.
New at home based...
I would like to get some feedback on a few companies. I have been offered positions from AccuScribe, Cymed. I am an IC now and have been in a hospital setting for several years, now at home working for a local company that does not pay well.
This newbie really needs some help!
Thanks in advance!

Also, how can you recommend DR based on the
original poster's request? SE status and not strict schedule? DR offers none of the above! Sheesh! What a waste of board space! Must be a DR supe or recruiter.
This may be the one.....are they based in Florida.....
reliable pay?? PT work? IC or employee status? What type of equipment is required?
TIA
It can if it is word based
Any word based Expander can be copied over into Medware.
AND based on the wording and the
number of years (3) claimed to have worked for this pitiful company.....there must be only one person taking up for them. How sad. If you have been following the board for the past few weeks, you are surely aware of the current employees who have went to the feds over the wrong doings of this company. LOL!!!
keystrokes, web based? sm
How is the platform, is it user friendly? Does anyone work there and use satellite to connect? Thanks!
based on your paragraph
it came to about the same amount of lines, actually, the 37 char lines were a fraction higher; so it sounds comparable to me.
Since they are based in India probably willing to pay
.
Pay is based on production.
They have a few different levels. Maximum pay rate is for 225 lph minimum. That schedule is in the process of being revised and s/b finished within the next few weeks, most likely upward to our advantage and to include shift differential. For more details on the current pay rates, you may want to speak to a recruiter since I don't want to give incorrect details. I'm at the top pay level, and I make good money there, but there are other programs as well (like Star team). There is also weekend differential. Pay on holidays is time and a half if you work plus straight holiday time, which is why I almost always volunteer to work holidays if my daughter is with her dad.
It isn't based on any particular WP program. Can use
with Word though and probably is in most cases.
DVI - MS Word based

Are they the ones based in Wetumpka?
If so, RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heard they do not pay. I heard that from a few people. I have no experience with them personally.
According to Acusis, that's what their new US-based
.
I used to work for them, if they are AR based nm

they are based close to me

if it is based out of Illinois and you like to get pd

I think it is a chicago-based
company. I checked with it once last November and was told they weren't hiring at the time.
Yes, the incentive was based on
number of minutes dictated/transcribed. For example, if the report I loaded was 2 min/50 seconds and the incentive was 25 cpm-- I would get an extra 50 cents (give or take for the 50 seconds). We have to keep track of all the minutes and there is usually a required minimum of 500 minutes that you have to transcribe in order to be eligible. There are also time constraints -- like it only runs for 4-6 hours. You also have to maintain your commitment for the rest of the pay period. That's the only type of incentive I've had my account and they're not very often -- I think they ran it twice (maybe three times) in the last 6 months.
I hope your accounts pick up soon.
This is NET based in Connecticut
X
No, they are not based out of Ohio
They have a home base in Connecticut, but they are an Indian-owned company.
Most companies, unless you are an IC, based
FT/PT on number of lines transcribed, not minutes. If you are hired as FT, the majority of places give you minimum lines that HAVE to be transcribed in order to remain FT.
It is home-based. (nm)
