on my account, all I have to send in

are my line counts. Each account is figured different, but I was given the address to KS' Intranet site, and go there, key in my line counts, and on the 15th and 30/31st of each month, send it in. Simple. I keep a log of reports, only for my reference...

Why send emails to everyone if your account is not affected? sm
I guess I do not understand what all of the hoopla is about. If you are out of work, call the office and get a backup account. I have a backup account, and have only had to go to it once. I get the emails that are pertinent to the accounts to which I am assigned. What good would it do for them to tell me that Hospital X is swamped with work, when that is not my account?
I agree with the poster above -- if people are so unhappy, why stay? I personally am happy with TransTech. While I wish the pay scale was a little higher, they have a nice tier incentive plan, the benefits are good and reasonably priced, plus the staff seem to truly care and try to be responsive to the needs of their employees. Look at how they listened to people complaining about the line counting software, etc.
Just my opinion ... 
Ditto! Also add that they ignore e-mails you send and send endless IMs!

That account in Texas was not a MQ account. They did not use DQS on that account until KS started.
They are moving 3 other accounts to DQS between now and January 1st. I asked. The MQ accounts they have gotten in the past did not go to DQS. I followed my old account, which is how I know, and it was Meditech. The account is still run by KS and is a big account too.
Repeatedly told another new account would come soon, but it never did. In fact, our slow account is.
everyone else's backup account. What a disorganized mess.
Then when we MT's are **thrown on** an account because of lack of work on our account
What is so hard to understand about that?
Then we have that account info filed away in a folder in our Outlook Express by name of account and can look at past emails sent out regarding that account. Not fun to be tossed on an account that you have never seen NOR ever received an email on. Sounds like business to me.
You are wrong about the account. KS dumped the account for several reasons. sm
It happened quickly and was unexpected but it was really for the best. Keystrokes does not string people along or lie to you. After being with MQ for too long, I am happy there, although it is not for everyone.
I really would give them a call as the other poster suggested. That whole situation was a nightmare for everyone including management but the account pulled a fast one on them.
I have the facts on this because I have a good friend at the hospital and what she told me matched what my manager did.
I know that they are trying to give more when so many companies are giving less and taking away more.
My account has lots of work..ask for another account/nm

The account I am on only requires 1200 lpd. Maybe it is that particular account. Ask them if they
have a lower one. Doesn't hurt to ask. I do anywhere between 1200 and 1800 lpd. Sometimes it feels impossible to do 1200, sometimes the 1800 is quick. Depends on the doctors and the day for me. I do average 15,000 per pay period though, which is 1500 a day. Not impossible by any means, and I never go over 40 hours a week. Most weeks, I am closer to 35 hours with lunch breaks and life.
I think it depends on the account. I have one account that pays sm
$2.25 for specials and one that pays $3.50. I was on one previously that did not pay them different at all, but they were all short and mostly PICC line placements.
I worked for a hospital that went to KS and they were not charging extra for the specials. I know what they charged per report, and there was no way they were getting rich on the difference after taxes and all that. I was suprised. I was in on the bid review and the average to charge was between $1.75 and $2.75 per report or 0.13 and 0.15 per line. There were 15 companies that bid on the account, and all were within those ranges.
I went to KS about 6 months after the hospital outsourced to them. When we were displaced, I accepted a different job in the hospital and hated it.
That is not true. It varies from account to account. I have
several internet accounts and on some you do have to input the patient information.
I know the account. It is "hybrid" account that is a version of sm
Meditech that is a cross between Meditech Magic and Client, more like Client than Magic. I have been on it since October now do 1500 lines a day; it took me a week to get up to speed but they really helped me. I only know which one because my lead told me that they are adding 10 people to it because KS is getting the whole thing now, only doing 1/2 before this. I love working for Keystrokes :)
Account wen to speech from almost the beginning of the account --
Don't like ExSpeech at all. Very bulky and cumbersome. Much better editing programs. I prefer to straight transcribe on ExText. Pay drops horrendously. But wave of the future for MT's.
The account I am on is internet only. I think it depends on the account. nm

My main account must have been an overflow account. We would
go several many days of the month where we could not pull work, so we all had to go to secondary accounts and there are very few accounts that could absorb the extra people.
Our account is an acute care account
We are low on work too and have been for almost 2 months. We know what is happening to our work though as our supervisor admitted that the work is going overseas. Even though we have 24-hour TAT and we are transcribing reports as they are dictated, they still insist that the work dictated after 7 p.m. has to be sent to the offshore service. It makes no sense to me as we have coverage starting from 6 a.m. and throughout the day. I think it all comes down to bottom line and it doesn't matter if we have work or not because it's cheaper to send it overseas.
Well if you don't want it, send it to me! Better than nothing. nm
I would send a
certified letter, the kind that they have to sign for from the post office. Just to cyb ;-)
I can't say how much they send
to India, but they did state they are sending some there, they never said how much and that it was a pilot program. They do use a lot of VR now. I did not like their program and left recently.
Can you send me one too? I am considering going with them. nm
thank you
When did you send it? nm
nm
If you don't want it, send it to me.

Why don't they send us some of
the scores of gifts that they receive in the office? We are the ones that make their money for them. I don't think it is greedy at all. It is common courtesy, something that today's MTSO's trample on. I get Xmas cards. My kids open it for me, and then they make a joke of standing there with the card shaking it to try to get money or a gift card to fall out. LOLOL
need you to send to another ID sm
hey Nola, I figured out why I did not get it. Send to ccba81499@yahoo.com thanks!!!
I am sure they will send something
They always do, just not necessarily on the exact day it may be expected. But I do have to agree, enough work would be the best thing ever!!!
Dang. Tried again and still will not send
Sorry!! Try MTspot. I am there a lot, too
How long does it take MQ to send sm
the equipment after you are hired and filled out the paperwork?
Send her to either M-TEC or Andrews.

I send many of my things to QA
I did not mean to sound like I just ignore verbatim altogether. I just do not leave in the ridiculously obviously wrong things that is all. I do not change the text or change words around. I guess you missed my point. Yes every account is different and there are specifics I know. The doctor I was referring to about the #ing just does not know how to count; not a system like you are talking about. So never mind.
Did you have to send them back
Just asking.
I don't want to send them a resume either
At one time, some companies put out ads by recruiter and anonymous names just to see who would apply. Those who applied and were working for this big company were immediately fired just for applying. Watch your back!
Did not send resume, but.....sm
I did write a very polite email stating that I was not comfortable revealing my personal information to an unknown company. I included my basic credentials and asked if they wanted my resume to please email me regarding their company information. I doubt if they'll bother, but I've made it a policy to never submit my confidential information to any company who is not willing to reveal their name.
This is exactly why I know longer send anything. nm
nm
Did they ask you to send them your resume?
I took the test today with a 96%, and immediately was asked to e-mail my resume.
send me an email
I may know of a place for you
They do not have to send you a 1099 for what they did NOT pay you, However,
you still need to claim what you received regardless if they send you a 1099 or not and pay your taxes accordingly. I would report them to the IRS in either case, because I am sure you have tried to receive your past compensation without much success.
Send an email and ask
someone in the office who does the time sheets.
only 6? i had a company send 14 !!! nm

why do they ask IF we want them to send WAV player
nm
So send an e-mail saying you are going
to ER, and get a note while you are there. The problem is that this will put you out of work a while if it is broken, but there is no sense lying about it since you do need the wrist to heal.
Or else the note will explain there is no fracture or sprain and you are okay to work in __ days.
I always send an email sm
and ask all those questions before testing. If they don't want to give me that info before hand, they aren't worth it.
Please. Yep, they picked 1 MT to send it to.
I think there are 2? send them email and ask
.Just put you message in the portion where is says Apply Now (or did you see info elsewhere?
Send the resume!
They are an honest company and have proven that time and time again. When something comes up that is a concern, they always fix it. They will not jerk you around and they certainly do not play games. They have recently grown quite rapidly and honestly I don't think they realized this was a great concern until now. They are focused on keeping both the client and the MTs happy, rare in this business. There are one or two MTs here that are out to destroy their reputation as a great company and I suppose these few will come back at my posting in their typical childish manner, but disregard them. Send the resume, you won't regret it.
Well, maybe they don't want US applicants to send pic?
Thanks for clarifying. I looked and to be honest, thought you had put the synthescribeofamerica.com link. i'm just crazy, lol.
Thanks again.
I'm so sorry. I send hugs to you. Sure

Do you know of one who will send me a tape?

It's always best to just send an email and let them know - regardless what day.
nm
Why don't you just send this post to TT and sm
see what their response is? Geez, do you really think you will get any results by posting on this board? Probably not. I have work but I work across all worktypes on 3 different accounts and flex my time if needed. Doesn't matter to me what I type as long as I have work. Ask for another account and/or more worktypes. It may help.
Be careful who you send your
resume to. Now the troll has all your information. I do NOT send mine until I have a firm offer and have basically been hired and after I have checked THEM out. I have not had to do this for five years, but still I knew that it is not good to give yourself away like that. I wonder what they are going to do with those resumes? Maybe those who supplied resumes should find out exactly who this is in case of identity theft?
Do they ACTUALLY still send that stuff out ? sm
My goodness, I had a total of 9 full binders that I sent back when I quit. Two huge boxes with equipment, supplies, paper, binders,a total of over 250 pounds that I sent back. I felt like a big weight was off my shoulders when I left there and had no more QA issues with anyone.
It would be really nice if they would send you...sm
some kind of response. I accepted a job from my second choice employer and then got a call from my first choice employer. Of course having committed to another company, I declined the offer and regretted it later.
Even an automated response that a) we got your resume or b) we're not interested would help a lot. As it is, you just sit in limbo and figure you better take the offer you are getting versus the one you would like to have.
As you said, all you can do is keep a positive attitude and hope the good things you hear are true.
