Isn't it funny that they are advertising on MTjobs that you get one hospital account that will be your own.  Doesn't surprise me.  I think they do a lot of the "bait and switch"  I talked to a recruiter about 6 months ago when they advertised "hospital employee" positions where you are an employee of the hospital, not Diskriter.  I applied right away and they called me right away, but the recruiter acted like she didn't know what I was talking about.  She was trying to hire me as a Diskriter employee.  Finally after I pushed, she admitted that there was only one position open and it had been filled.  I guess things haven't changed. 

Thanks for the input.

appreciated. 

I see they are advertising on the other board -- any recent info?  Could not find much in the archieves

docuscribe seems to be the fastest.  I just wonder if I would make out better some other place such as MDI since raises seem to be not in existance at MQ and the switching of the pools.  Last month was better and now its back to the cess pool.  its driving me crazy.

I quit the company on Tuesday BEFORE I got into the situation of no work available and then get fired.  For 5 years, I always had work - never had a problem. Then when Nuance bought Focus - LOOK OUT!  About the company policy, there isn't one.  There was no paperwork that covered anything regarding no work and payment when there's no work.  I just felt what they are doing is illegal on a federal level and I hope some still employed with Focus read this.  Any other company I have ever worked for provided compensation during training and downtime.  This one?  No...Nuance management tells you after you wait hours for work, Oh I guess there's no work. Have a nice day.  What about on other accounts?  Nope - won't add you to other accounts so you can't get more work.  Then what about those hours wasted waiting for work?  It seems too controlling, illegal and sneaky.  Again, I left - just posted this hoping to help other MTs stuck in that company!  Helping them resolve this issue because the manager I had has lost 1 hospital since starting in November - currently losing another 1 - so there won't be more work available for the remaining MTs...and the company is hiring?  The endless number of ads for employment floors me!!  Why not put already employed MTs to work so they have a reason to show up?  The entire scenario is really ugly!! 

Again, thank you for your responses and assistance.  For future references, I am printing what you have said so I have the information just in case I run into this kind of company again!

Hi Terry ~

Honestly, it depends on the client.  It could range anywhere from 9 cpl to 15 cpl.  I've even heard of people getting 20 cpl in Southern Cali!!  I've never came across that, but I guess it does happen.  It is so hard to say, this is the set rate.  You'll need to look at each contract - what are the volumes; what platform will they require you to use; will you have to provide that platform and support; will you have to provide hand-held recorders or a toll-free call-in line; are the dictators ESL; is it a direct contract or a 3rd party contract - see what I mean?  It is not cut & dry, that's for sure!  But, right now, with this economy, I'd take whatever you can get, even if your profit margin very low.  So much of our work now days goes over seas, so things seem to be slim pickin'!
