Any RAD MTs work on Client Server
TIA!
...always a backlog by the client. If it ever gets cleaned up, you have no work for that day. This

I work right for the client.......not the MTSO. I am an IC for a hospital. nm

The client will not know how their work gets done. A contract is negotiated and
line rate agreed upon.  End of client involvement.  I have never seen a contract where the client specifies exactly how the work is to be done.  The client just wants the work done timely and accurately.  At that point, the MTSO can either hand the work over to MTs they are paying 8 to 10 cpl to transcribe or they can run the dictation through the VR server and have it transcribed and then edited for much less.  The client still pays the agreed upon rate, but the MTSO makes a much greater profit by cutting MTs pay by half and asking them to edit.
Old posts also say your pay is docked if client is unhappy with your work. No thanks. nm

They only offshore if the client wants it. Most accounts do not want their work offshored. NM

Sten-Tel is bringing all of their offshore work back in to USA. Per the client's wishes! nm

Such a lame excuse too - I'm so sure the CLIENT ASKED to have their work outsourced overseas!
They do think we're idiots, don't they?
Why are they hiring when we run out of work every day?

I work for TTS and they are hiring.

Why do these placed keep hiring if work is low.
I have been working with OSi for a week, and have already run out of work even though the recruiter told me there was plenty. Talked to a few people online, and everybody says they are always low. I feel manipulated, and I turned down several offers to take this job. I am going to see if any of the offers are still open.
R they hiring where you work?
NM
Not sure if they are hiring, but there is no shortage of work.

Thanks.. Helped a ton. I have already been through that. No work yet they are always hiring. That is
ridiculous..
Any companies hiring for M-F work
I have 10+ years of experience as an MT and need to have a Monday through Friday schedule because that is what works with my kids, school, and their summer sports.  Are there any companies hiring experienced MTs for M-F work? Thanks
Yes they are hiring and great to work for

We're not hiring because work is low. Nothing to do
 with what goes to Precyse International. 
QT Medial is hiring and is GREAT to work for! Try them, you will not be sorry! nm

Why is OSi hiring new people when I have been out of work for 6 weeks?

I am statutory (or IC, whatever they are calling it now).  I have a main account and 2 -- count them 2 -- back up accounts.  I have been out/short of work for over 6 weeks.


Unless you are a full time employee, you get no benefits, no hourly, NOTHING.  I am amazed that they are hiring when they have people already trained and begging for work!!!


Don't they realize that it costs a WHOLE lot more in turnover to train a new employee than to keep an already-trained one happy?


I'm looking at other nationals now.  I've never been one to job hop, but I just can't take the time off any more!!!


is the lack of work related to hiring new MTs?

It is interesting that there was an ad to hire with a hiring bonus in the summer and suddenly the work got low and now agree a couple of weeks after another hiring ad the work gets low.


I left due to no work for 2 months and they were STILL hiring
when that was going on.  I would stay clear for a while unless you can survive off of 200 lines per day and want to work 24/7 and fight over the lines as they come in.
Why is TransTech hiring when I have no work this morning? sm
Why do these companies do this?  Hire, hire, hire while I am sitting here waiting for work for the past 3 hours.
NEMT is currently hiring for clinic work...nm

I know they have been hiring on that account awhile so there is probably work. But,
I did refer a friend and they put her on that program to which she did not stay long and was very unhappy with her line count. She said it was a third of what she normally made so she quit. Honestly, I have never worked on that platform so I am not sure if she had a valid complaint or not or what else she was comparing it to. I say if the work is there, which I would think if they are offering a bonus, I would try it out and see if it works for you. It sounds like with your experience you would know the difference in line counts.
Webmedx hiring - work plentiful? nm
,
Yep, hiring again. Are people quitting or what? There never seems to be a lot of work to me. nm

Not hiring because they send most their work to India
 
MQ is hiring a lot of newbies right now and I am gettng a lot of work dumped on me so what can I
say. How many newbies can you hire that cant do these big hospitals before the quality goes through the roof. You can break jobs on DQS to get rid of them.
GIMT is hiring - Ortho and Onc clinic work - sm

So does anyone work on the acct that DiskRiter is hiring for now? It's in Florida

Because of the shortage of work, we don't want our companies hiring more people. nm

I saw they were hiring but there is no way I'd work for them. Their ad sure sounds good with shif
differential and good pay etc.. but it means nothing if they dont pay their people and you had to fight to get it. No thanks.
Good companies hiring for clinic work

Know any good companies hiring for clinic work? I'd rather get lower pay for clinic and have a higher line count than stress out over acute care at this point.


There's a difference between over hiring and the occasional work slow down. sm
Every company has some times that are busier than others. That doesn't make the recruiter a liar.
Not a lot of work right now; kind of disturbing that they're hiring
..
First Choice Medical is a great company to work for, and I think they are hiring too.
I have been there for over 4 years now. They use WP51 too if you want. Good luck to you.
I do Rad for TT. Pay is good, tons of work, decent accounts. I know they are hiring a few more
Rad MTs now. I would highly recommend.
Is Lee Perfect hiring, and how much do they pay? How is the work load. I'm tired of running out o
work with the present company. It's getting old and I cant survive on low work.
I can do that as I expect a lot of places are holding off hiring now because work does tend to get a
little slow at this time of the year.  I can manage with what I have until January. 
MD-IT hiring - looks like a really cool company to work for... any advice/information?
I sure would love to know more about the company - a search of this forum turned up zilch.  I was with Medquist for 8 years, and the company I went to did not deliver on the acute care account I was hired for..... 
I work on the radiology account they are hiring for at Southern Transcription Services
and always have work. I have only run out a work a handful of times. It is a very busy account. It is a very good company to work for.
Hope Transtech is NOT still hiring, because we are all fighting for work right now OVERHIRE big time
Be careful right now, because TT has much overhired, promising something big coming up, but nothing seen by the MT's yet, just LOW WORK load.
I work for them and sure there are hiring again, but here I sit all day with NO work and yes I have

Maybe MQ is over hiring now in preparation for something. Must be some reason they keep hiring when
some people have not work.

Get this, I had my own client since Feb.  When i first started they were five weeks behind.  Got them all caught up.  REcently have been having trouble getting my paycheck.  Keep being told its in the mail.  I started putting a little bit of pressure on my boss yesterday and now tonight at 10:30 i got an email saying we should part ways.  I am so upset and do not know what to do.  All because i asked for my pay.  Uh may be they dont think over 2G is not a lot of money to them but I do.  They also were pushing me about TAT.  They gave me 4 days no problems as long as i get the files and everything i need in a timely manner, which lately i have not so i have been calling the manager because that is what i was told to do.  I really hate to go back to work for a big national but I guess now i have no other choice.  I wrote back a big reply to her email and waiting to see if i get a response and DH also told me i should call my manager and tell her thanks for the back stabbing?  What do you think?
client
Oh yeah, they did not even give me the decency of a phone call jsut a lousy email can you believe that?
its the client
Hey, it is usually the client that changes pay practices...why is everyone on this board out to badmouth one person after another....dishonesty is not always the path taken
I have (I am an IC). I had one client that
used cassette tapes and if I had to scan a tape I charged an extra 0.02 per line for that report. Not much, but it did cut down on the Stats. I also printed reports at home and if I had to reprint something because of their error or losing report, etc., I charged 0.05 just to reprint it.
The client usually never knows about VR sm
being used (big secret the larger companies keep), so they are getting full transcription rate and paying 1/2 rate to MTs to edit - more profit for the service!
No, you got the client because

you can hire MTs that will fall for it.
