Anyone know anything about Ascott Transcription in Cedar Rapids?
NM
ASCOTT - Regretfully I worked there as it is local company.
After years of working weekends and holidays plus the 40 hours, moved on after they lost a major account and was without work. Glad I did. Small family owned company with owner retired and new person in charge is their daughter w/ no MT experience. Support desk and QA and others not very nice folks. I think you should keep looking and would be miserable there. You can do better.

(This is copied from their website...supposedly they pay well, BUT their lines do not include spaces...hmmm...well, still, I've heard that they pay better than most companies. Anyhow..hope this helps.)
We require a minimum of 3 years experience in Ops and Discharges, with acute care facility/teaching institution/production environment experience essential. This is a major metropolitan market with primarily teaching institutions, and therefore there are significant numbers of ESL’s. All of our hospitals are teaching facilities, with general technical surgeries requiring the skill and ability to transcribe a variety of disciplines every single day. Operative reports comprise approximately 80% of our volume. We also hire for discharge summary/ consultation/ clinic note coverage as the need arises.
We require a minimum of 600 lines per day. We have never experienced a prolonged work shortage, so you can type to whatever limits you set for yourself over our required 600 lines/day, Monday-Friday. We have work 24/7. Weekends are not required. We do not overstaff an account, so there’s no fighting to get your committed lines. You are assigned specific accounts and you will stay with these accounts. You don't bounce from account to account on a daily or weekly basis. However, to achieve a significantly high volume, you will need to type more than one account.
We have a testing site and all applicants are tested using the same standards. You will have to achieve a significantly high score on this test to insure that you will be able to easily transcribe the work provided without a struggle daily to achieve your lines and to provide a quality report. Typos are heavily weighed, as are drug misspellings and common term misspellings. The test is taken on line, and the site includes instructions for downloading the voice and playing it through your sound card or a wave player.
While Phoenix doesn’t insist on exclusivity, we do expect all committed work to be done daily, Monday through Friday, and not used as a fill-in when work is light elsewhere. If other arrangements are requested that preclude a straight Monday through Friday work week, approval from the Corporate staff will be necessary.
COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS:
A Pentium class (at least Pentium III), 400 megahertz computer with a large hard drive. We utilize a transcription program customized for MTs (we use an enhanced program superimposed on Word 97.). We utilize a word Expander as well. We license and provide all the software necessary for installation.You must supply your own version of Word 97 or Word 2000, and PCAnywhere. You must have an email account.

That should clear up your misconceptions from the IRS standpoint. The IC has privileges that the employer does NOT and there is a fine line that needs adherence. Maybe you feel you have no rights, but the IRS says that is just simply not the case!
I never see an ad for employment with them.
nm
Don't you have to pay self-employment tax? Isn't that the same as SS? nm

You may not be able to get employment if you are
fired either. The company has a say in what happened and can dispute any claim. I would think they you could not get employment based on you resign or else and I think they are being very generous in giving you that option. If you quit I don't think you stand a chance of getting unemployment.
I wouldn't worry about using Spheris for a reference, doesn't sound like they would give you a good reference even if you resign. If you haven't been there long just leave them off your resume and say you took some time off. I don't think the resume has as much to do with your hiring as it is how you do on testing.
employment
Are they still hiring and how is their pay rate?
For employment, what else would you ask?
I've pasted all the questions I think I would like to know from a prospective employer. If you can think of other questions I need to ask, or a better way to ask the question, please let me know! I realize some of these questions will not get answers and some are probably not palatable by employers, but if I don't ask, I won't know and on a more personal basis, I'm tired of getting $crewed down the line.
· What percentage of your full-time transcription employees make greater than $36,000.00 per year?
· Do you offer incentive pay?
· What percentage of full time employees have been with you more than 2 years?
· Do you offshore any portion of your available workload?
· What percentage of the dictation (within a +/- 5% range) is ESL dictation?
· What is the cost of your best insurance coverage for a single person per pay period? How long after employment before it becomes effective?
· Do you offer dental insurance?
· Do you offer a 401(k) plan? Do you match contributions or? How soon is participation allowed?
· How many PTO days per year? How soon are they available for use? Are there any clauses that may prevent use of PTO?
· What is your holiday policy regarding time off?
· What is the rate per line, the characters per line, and does this include spaces?
· Are headers included or excluded in the line count?
· Do you have software that indicates lines completed?
· Are there any charges for software/hardware required by your company?
· Do you allow split shifts?
· Do you dock pay for blanks (inaudibles, etc.)?
· Do you guarantee work available?
· Do you have 24/7 management and tech support?
· What contingencies apply to QA?

· How often do you pay and what are the parameters of the pay period?
· What other benefits do you offer?
· Within the acute care dictations, how many different work types are there?
· Is it possible to remain within 2-3 work types only?
· Do you offer training/work with speech recognition?
OSi employment
Why don't you just give them a call? I have worked there going on 2 years now and I see other MTs complaining of not getting paid, not getting work, slow networking, etc. I have not run across these issues with OSi. I get work every day, I get paid every pay day. I get answers to questions and I don't get micromanaged. Communication has been good. I am not related to anyone there and don't know anyone there, just sign in and work. OSi makes the qualifications very clear and it is not impossible to make the required lines. Good luck.
considering employment
would like info that would be helpful in deciding whether to accept.
for employment
As in who offers the best pay, benefits, incentives, vacation, bonuses?
OSi employment
I have been with OSi for 3 years now. Some days the work is low, and some days there is OT available, but, that doesn't look any different to me than what I read on this site. I agreed on a schedule which has been maintained for 3 years now. I get paid on time and sometimes early. There are lots of e-mails which can be deleted in a heart beat. When there are problems I am notified of them. Otherwise, just work, get paid, get annual raises. That's what I expect from a job, and that's what I get. Good luck in your search.
employment
 I need someone to tell me what is better, contractor or employee.
It has to do with employment laws in SM
those states.
When I inquired about employment...
which was a few months ago, the recruiter couldn't explain the pay scale and/or incentive program. Keep on truckin'...
Heartland MTs - if you are still looking for employment.....
AAMT Reaches Out to Displaced Heartland MTs
AAMT is working with Terri Kaminski of Transcription Matchmaker and Heartland Information Services executives to provide a free outplacement webinar for all Heartland employees from the U.S. who recently lost their jobs. The webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, May 17, 2006, and displaced employees will receive information on how to promote their services and learn of opportunities in the medical transcription field. AAMT is extremely grateful to work with Transcription Matchmaker and Heartland Information Services to offer this outplacement service to transcriptionists in need of new jobs. For more information on this program, please contact Jennifer Hardy at Jennifer@aamt.org.
MT Employment Agency?
I was wondering if anyone knows of such a company as a temporary MT employment agency. For example, you could specify how long you'd like your assignment to last, i.e., 3 weeks (or 6 weeks or 4 months or whatever), they'd match you up with a temporary job, and then at the end of that time you could choose to stay on if needed/wanted or have time off until the next prospective job comes along that fits your needs. Maybe I'm just dreaming! They do have employment agencies for nurses that work like this...why not MTs?!
Employment Question
Anyone work for Transcription Relief Services, now or in the past. I would appreciate some feedback regarding this company.
My place of employment
is sending reports to Transcription Connection, Inc (ohio) right now. Their work, is to say the least, not good! Rumor at work is they are going to get rid of in-house transcription and send solely to this company. Thus, I sent a resume. Now mind you I have been the transcription supervisor/coordinator for this mental health facility for more than 14 years. I know my stuff. No answer back from Transcription Connection, Inc. Sort of weird if you ask me. I did not know they outsourced. Interesting!
No employment unless you sign
The agreement states that the employee understands that he/she will no longer be employed unless he/she signs. (I found out that such coercion in order to save your job can be illegal.)
I thought everyone had to pay SS or self-employment tax. nm
What is your employment status?
If you are IC you will have to send demand for payment letter and possibly hire attorney.
If you are considered employee you need to call and talk to someone in your local labor board. My DH was working for a construction company that refused to pay him once. The state labor commission got on it and they ended up paying him 2X what they originally owed, plus a big fat fine to the state for violating labor law.
If they lie to you like that, I think you need to be looking for other work. Why waste time working for free? Did you sign a volunteer agreement? If not, you need to dump it and find something else that will pay--especially if the check she did send bounces.
looks like an employment agency - sm
click one link and it looks like a resume bank, click the other link and you get an agency.
testing for employment
Has anyone else out there spent hours testing for a company, then not hear back from them? I sent a few followup emails and left a voice mail message, but never got a reply. I have several years of transcription under my belt and know I did good on the test. Sometimes I wonder if there is a transcription black list.
Axolotl Employment
Does anyone know if they are currently hiring? I faxed my resume and sent a followup email, but have not heard back from them.
