sorry, I mean not the HR director, not department. A recruiter is usually under sm
the HR department, but is not the director unless it is a company that is so small there is only one person doing everything. If you did a chart, there would be the HR department headed by an HR director who is responsible for the administrative things in HR, not recruiting. Most directors really are not good recruiters. Most directors are also lacking in the people skills, but they are knowledgeable in all aspects of human resource law.
Sorry to say department above. I was thinking one way, typing another.
go to the department of labor web site
and check out their TAA and ATAA page --Trade Adjustment Asisstance Program and Worker Adjustment and retraining and notification act. Congress was talking about extending benefits for people who have lost their jobs due to offshoring. My heart goes out to your all.
I have forwarded all responses to HR Department. sm
Hopefully they are doing THEIR part and contactnig people. If you dont mind, e-mail me and let me know who you are and I'll try to light a fire under them!
Department B transcription services
Has anyone ever heard of a company called Department B or older name PM&R?? I have an interview scheduled for Tuesday but I was just wondering if anyone knew anything on this company.

My son applied for a department store once, sm
and they asked him all kinds of psychologic questions - it was just weird.
I worked in QA Department for the Q about 12 years ago. sm
The last straw for me was an MT who consistently typed preformed instead of performed. She refused to change or just didn't care to go over her feedback. Manager would do nothing about it because she too worked 3rd shift. I will never go back to doing QA again. I make more money as a Transcriptionist anyway.
Contact the labor department.
They will investigate and fine them for not paying in employment taxes, etc., as by having to ask for time off, vacation, etc., that means you are an employee and not an IC.
That's a bit misleading. It is NOT just the IT department. The techs sm
who allocate the dictation files to you nothing to do with IT. If you have a computer issue, they will get someone from IT for you, but Marie and the rest are not part of that department. The ENTIRE COMPANY is based in India. Yes, they hire American MTs, but the company is in India, and they at one point even lied to the MTs and said work was slow due to Christmas (this was in the middle/latter part of January), then one of the techs admitted they had outsourced to an Indian MT company.
They are not the worst company to work for -- the pay is decent and on time -- although I never cared for the way the work was allocated and I absolutely DESPISE the fact that they are now lying and misrepresenting themselves in their ads saying they are based in Kentucky. There is a residential HOUSE in Kentucky owned by the Indian owner. Why not just be upfront about it in their ads?
Letter from Department of Labor
Has anyone received a letter from the Department of Labor from the state where your employer is located, indicating they are investigating the company regarding various contract laws? I work for a wonderful company and can't imagine why they would be investigated, unless this is another way to squeeze out medical transcription companies and send everything to India to reduce healthcare costs. 
Go to the Department of Labor website
It is fully explanatory there. It does not apply to at-home MTs unless they have 50 employees working within a 75-mile radius of them.
I have called the police department already..sm
I am not playing. They faxed me the paperwork and I am giving her until Friday for a cashier's check OR money order is in my hands, she is in trouble! LIES LIES LIES that is all she has done.
What people seem to misunderstand is that a recruiter is not the HR department. They are the sm
recruiter. HR director or department head deals with the rules of human resources, benefits, numbers, etc. Recruiter is the KEY person, the one people-oriented individual, the one who talks and gets to know the prospective employee, the one who tests and usually the one who checks the references. That person hires the people. It is the job of the recruiter in any company to hire the individual and THEN to forward paperwork to the department that needs the MT. Now, as a recruiter, I follow through within three (3) days' time to see that all the necessary contact with that individual and department has been made and if it has not been made, I put the crunch to that department head to step on it. We are dealing with people who need a job and have quit their job supposedly to work for us. No one can afford a lapse in employment unless they want a week off in between, which sometimes they do.
Too many people seem to think HR is the recruiter, but in a company with a true chain of command, that usually is not the case.
I don't know how this company operates in that area, but most of the companies I know that are in growth put an HR dept in place, have a director, and 1 or 2 recruiters. The recruiters hire. The individual departments are responsible for getting those people up and running BUT because I know how important it is to get people started and started on time and because sometimes I feel that no one can do the job as well as me (sadly), I have to follow up to make sure those people are not forgotten.
This is worrisome to me that I feel this way, but unfortunately I have come across companies that have let this happen and I do put a fire underneath the departments and it is successful.
Interview with in-hospital transcription department
and wondering what the rate is for in-house. Ten years ago when I was an in-house transcriptionist, I was paid 13.00 an hour and 5 cpl for everything over 500 lines per day. Just wondering how the setup is now or if that has changed. I live in Alabama and the hospital I have an interview with, will eventually transition their MTs to working from home.
Ortho department has testing, the others do not at this time. nm

HR Department at Keystrokes is a director, a clerk/secretary sm
and a recruiter. The director is new but only does the legal stuff and is working on the benefits package, etc. The clerk is doing the paperwork. The recruiter is doing the recruiting, interviewing, checking references, passing hire info on. The pieces are in place now and you just validated what has just been put in place. I know there is talk of a second recruiter, one for radiology and one for medical records, but I think this is still in the baby stages. The HR Director heads the department but will not recruit.
Yes, turn them in to the Department of Labor and Industry for nonpayment.
Try the BBB or FTC for unfair labor practices. Send them a certified letter demanding payment or you'll sue in small claims court.
if I remember correctly, isn't that Spheris' India department?
Supposedly over 4000 employees, JUST for that India account, according to Advance Health Magazine...
I thought exactly the same thing! Tech department must be lacking

I wrote to their HR department, which is the only contact I could find for them, last week, but no r

The formal QA department is new only started last August. Before that, it was up to the lead MT'
to do QA. That obviously did not work for them and they started a QA department.
Ortho has only done formal QA reviews.
Radiology does QA reviews but internally and only comes to the MT's if there is a problem, otherwise tells them they are doing well.
No complaints at all. Platform is super MT friendly. Great QA department.
Very happy at Medware.
401k funds are protected by govt insurance similar to the insurance
that banks have (FDIC). It is safe even if the company goes under.
The insurance cost is double for Transcend but insurance probably doesn't factor in for her.
I have heard more good things about Axolotl than Transcend, although it seems Axolotl may be less flexible with your schedule and someone told me that QA was pretty strict, which should not matter either if you have worked for a hospital and know what your QA score is.
The insurance plan in my opinion is excellent insurance. I am not sure if it will change when it'
time to renew or not. I really hope not but I know that a lot of companies change every year in an effort to keep costs down because most insurance companies start raising rates after you have been with them a year. The insurance is Great West and they also have excellent dental and vision plans. I believe the cost is less than $70 a pay period for the employee.
Insurance sucks compared to my old insurance... sm
The insurance seems like they don't want to cover anything, even simple prescriptions I used to pay 4 or 10 dollars on I now pay 20 to 43 dollars. I like the company/people so far, just don't like the insurance.
Insurance Questions: Can you tell me what you pay for insurance through your
MTSO, which MTSO it is and whether the coverage is decent? I currently pay $92.00 a pay period for decent coverage but am trying to figure out if I am getting a good deal or if I could do better elsewhere.
TIA.
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
xx
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.
