Earnings were better in the past. New software for speech recognition is competitive. Offshoring removes lucrative reports for transcription by low paid workers in other climes. Meanwhile in USA in our company, the residue is difficult to hear, but our company has begun to ban putting blanks in the report, to promote cost savings in the proofreading departments: fewer blanks, fewer proofreaders on payroll. Medquist is wave of competitive future.

Well, Trust is earned.

In the end, it's YOUR money the YOU earned. You
Direct deposit saves them postage. They probably don't even have to cut a printed check; it's probably all done electronically. You shouldn't have to fork over 5 bucks of your hard-earned money in order to be paid. They already owe you the money, and one way or another, they're required by law to pay you.
my brother is right Trust is always earned.

I earned more doing MT work but I prefer QA
because I love it. I enjoy the mentoring aspect plus MT took its toll on my bones and I absolutely could not do it anymore if I wanted to because of that.
They only paid me half of what I earned and it bounced - three times.
stay away from them as far as you can!
As far as I understand it, it's not based on line count really, more a set dollar amount earned
a pay period and I fell short $90 of that set amount. You must make X-amount of dollars to be considered FT status. I missed 2 days of work due to illness. I truly think that is the why it is because their policy says that. I still think you should be notified if your benefits are cut in advance so you can either choose to find another job right away so your not without insurance long or at least can purchase an individual policy. Being without insurance is scary to me with all of our kids.
Thank you so much -- you saved
me an hour of two of wasted effort. Much appreciated!
I don’t have to be saved because my job
is not my major form of income, actually have more coming from other sources than my 8 hours a day spent on transcription.
Thanks very much, you have saved
me from another big disappointment, although for a company to top MDI, it would have to be a tragedy.
Saved me from being ripped off!!

They probably saved all the work for you...
and we are all stuck with nothing. I haven't been able to get anywhere near 1000 lines for months now. Have been an MT for over 12 years so.....funny you have a bunch of work and I have next to nothing.
You could have saved some of us time by
stating that you only were interested in encouraging posts, rather than those representing the current situation. I was actually wasting more of my time by trying to post links for you of the serious no-work situation, but see that you're not interested in anything not encouraging posts. Have fun!! As many others have honestly shared the last months about MDI-MD, I hope your finances don't depend on this company right now, as they weren't able to handle many of us new hires. Not even 5 training jobs a day. Their regular workers experience same, too, but, lest I sound not encouraging, I'll just shut up now.
No way!!! After all the money they saved (sm)
giving their employees the Print your own cookbook for Christmas. I would have appreciated a card far more.
I know they pay the most for ASR and think you are all probably right and we are going to get hit in the chops with this one. At least I work at home and can attend the meeting with a margarita in hand.
Hoping for the best, but after 10 years of MQ and the crap they put us through I am a little gun shy.
I saved the old one to my computer and SM
I think I'm going to start applying to other places. Just the fact that they would announce this at the end of the business day before Memorial Day weekend and leave us hanging like that until Tuesday is such a turnoff, but I shouldn't be surprised. This company has really gotten horrible in the past year.
I have saved a ton of money this way
I have Blue Cross, which isn't the best, but I have had 2 C-sections with it. Both times the hospital charged over $11,000 for the hospital services, not including baby's nursery, OB fees, etc. Blue Cross contracts with them and tells them how much their clients can be charged. Both times I have gotten bills automatically reduced to $2800. Of course, that went to my high maternity deductible, but that's over $9000 in savings, well worth the premiums.
Almost all of our lab fees, testing, procedures, etc. are reduced this way. I pay a copay for basic office visits and that's just flat.
FMLA only gives you the right to be out - the only pay you would get would be saved PTO or short-ter

I hope you SAVED those e-mails.

You're welcome. I applied and had saved the info. nm

Nice that they responded, but would've saved..sm
I get that they are relatively new, but with nothing at all coming up on Google search (not even a phone listing), it's understandable why people questioned. I still think it's strange there is literally nothing available online, even using her name and variations, but the address seems to be an office building of sorts, so that seems plausible.
Good luck to those who applied. I hope it ends up being a diamond in the rough. :)
I also saved EVERY email from them so I can back up the info below
nm
Their ads say .09 per line, 1.10 per report, which you could have saved yourself time by reading.

Gosh..thanks for your honesty. I have not found ONE positive about them. I'll pass. You saved me
a lot of trouble it sounds like. 
The company takes the money out of your salary, before they cut the check. It is your earned money,
:+
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.
