They do not offshore. The owner's original company was bought by MQ; started a new company, whic
That's about all I know. I would give them a try. They sounded good!
Must be a small company. I have never talked to the owner of the company I work for. sm
He wouldn't have time. Why would someone talk directly to the MTSO? Most do not know (or care) about the details just the big picture.
Is this really the owner of a company
Wow! You are soooooooooo ghetto and ignorant. I am speechless!
Owner of a company
I agree with you. I would not want the responsility of owning a company or even managing. My dad was in management for 28 years. You are not there to make everyone happy and sometimes people have to be let go. If you cannot keep your end of the deal I would make you move on. Actually I would be a real hard a-- if I were a manager. A lot of it has to do with respect for each other. You need to appreciate what you have. Too many times these days everyone just wants a pay check regardless of anything else. Some people do not take pride in their work or anything else. Every thing is not hunky dorry every single day, either on our side or a manager/company owner's side. It is just not realistic.
and........ the owner of this company
is subcontracting work out for Medware. Medware and herself are one in the same.
I am a company owner
I hire people who can work whenever they want and how much they want and they don't need to tell me, so I don't have a clue about those things. I have work out of turnaround time, but I have no worries because my employees will work whenever they need a little money, so the jobs can just wait on them. Perfect scenario.
From the company owner to the employees
after somebody mistakenly forwarded an email from someone in India to the company employees- then they had to fess up. The person with the email slipup decided to "change jobs" within the company and it went to the pits after that with incompetent managers.
Talking to owner of a company
The reason I would talk to an owner of a company is simply this. If you have gone to the people you are told do and nothing is resolved it is time to go over their heads and elsewhere. When I did this he/she had no idea it was that bad. Now you know why?
Seems like job discrepancy
The mommies/expectant/pregnant girls get special benefits that the mature/aged MT's do not get. They get maternity/paternity PAID LEAVE ! This seems more like age discrepancy. Where is the aged/mature MT's PAID DAYS/WEEKS to make this an equal benefit -- and NOT age discrepancy. We mature individuals enjoy PAID holidays as much as those who get pregnant. We have enough children in this world now -- adopt a child.
Seems like job discrepancy
Just to inform you all - (and I would be considered aged/mature MT) It is a federal law - Maternity Leave is treated as a disability. That means if you get paid for maternity leave, they must pay for someone that has a disability that prevents them from working. It is not vacation!! It is not age discrimination. I have worked as an MT for many-many years, but my husband owns (owned) a construction co. with over 50 employees. So, I am familiar with human resources laws, etc
Discrepancy
In our conference call, we were told the statutory employee status would end effective Jan 1. They pushed the employee side of things and hemmed hawed on the IC side.
The owner of the company I work for says she will never sell but I doubt anyone could
pass up millions if put in front of them. I couldn't, that's for sure. A nice island somewhere with someone to bring me slushy drinks :)
You obviously know nothing about the owner or the company. Many accounts are going to internet base
Long distance is not a big deal with digital connections.
Medical Transcription Service Owner and TTS is a company out of

I removed the posts after speaking directly to the owner of the company. If
you have questions or concerns you need to take it up with her. There is one specific person causing most of this grief. I have CHOSEN to remove the posts, I was not forced to.
I think the owner of MT Daily owned a transcription company which was sold SM
to an Indian company, but I may be wrong.
Probably no "real" company name. I got the impression she was a private owner her own small bu
and..probably not a company we would have heard of before anyway. I applied so we shall see.
The person who posted the job ad today is the owner of the company, not the recruiter.
Professional MT Recruiting Services run by a woman named Terri is no longer allowed to recruit on this website. However, it should be understood the actions of the recruiter should not be held against All American Medical Transcription.

You need to give a reason. Not every company
is a good match for every MT and someone may have had a personality conflict or some such thing so then they say it is a bad company. You need to list facts like they don't pay on time, their line counts are off, sound quality is terrible, etc.
Another reason is if you have friend at new company to

Seems more of a reason NOT to apply at this particular company.... nm

Not a discrepancy, just a lag time - they don't count headers or footers.

Spheris/Cornerstone CUE program/line discrepancy
I just started cornerstone last payperiod and there have been line discrepancies according to my mentor. I show I did 3,024 lines last week and she only showed 1597. When we had our weekly mentor call I showed her how you have to go to the next day to get all of the lines (i.e. 11/17/2007- 11/18/2007 to pull up the lines for 11/17/2007). She also said that CUE only showed that I was only for 18 hours which is a load!! I worked 40 hours. She said that everytime it pauses it adds that to the time. It pauses when I am spell checking. But none of that added up to such a discrepancy.
I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem. Or maybe I just needed to vent. I like the idea of having instant line counts but they are not even getting the same ones we are. I have to double check my paycheck this time just to see if they are paying me all of my lines. 
Which is the reason my company lost a major account.
The quality of the work was so poor they didn't renew the contract.
One triple dipper got fired from 1 company, but a different reason
They are too busy conniving how to screw the MT's out of every penny they can.
This is how it's explained,,
A 65 printable characters equals a line-----which we know means no spaces.
Never been explained
Nope, honestly no one has ever explained this to me. I recently started questioning it though because I am now seeking new employment and I'm not sure if I would qualify for unemployment temporarily until I find something new or not. I have not quit my current job yet but believe me, I am going to and I'm sure once people knew my reasoning, they would probably do the same thing.
well you just explained yourself! sm
you are limiting yourself to clinic work. Any MT who is limited to what he/she can or will do is going to have a hard time. I don't know what you do or how much you do, but 10 cpl if you are typing 200-300 lph is pretty darn good money. Not many jobs where you can stay home and make 20 bucks an hour.
Limit yourself to clinic work and maybe you will have that 9-5 job. But don't complain when there is no work and you can't or won't do anything but clinic work because it cuts into your lifstyle.
Obviously you haven't been in the position of really having to have a paycheck or you would be willing to work when the work is there. Can you do or have you done anything besides clinic work? Why limit yourself?
Go apply for a day job in a MR department of a hospital and do acute care (if you can find one). I am getting the picture now. you didn't give the whole situation before, clinic only....hmmmmmmmmm!
Now that you explained it..
That sounds absolutely HYSTERICAL!!!! I would have done that for my next conference call with the Q, but oops, I quit! YAY! ;)
Benefits explained
I was glad I called Cymed HR to ask them about their new benefit package. I found out I could go to another option package with a different deductible and my rate did not change, in fact went down $8. The dental, vision and disability are really low cost and help a lot. I was really glad I called to get more information because it was easier to get answers then trying to figure it out myself.
You explained that perfectly! sm
Bingo! This job is very isolating and most of the jobs are found via Internet, so there is no personal (face to face) contact. This board helps network other MTs. Sorry that some people don't seem to understand.
It was also explained to me that 7 cpl was the pay rate...
As they were adding benefits into the mix, and that was directly from the VP of Transcription Services. If that has changed, I would be very interested in purusing it.
You just explained the universe
Was with OSi very briefly and quit, 1 reason because I worked so hard but saw very low line counts. I couldn't figure it out.
I'm so sorry. You just explained how a lot of people SM
feel. I feel sorry for so many of us. Those poor MT's at JLG.
I'm old, so I just have a few years left to work. If I were younger, I would really consider something different. I wish you luck in whatever you decide to do and please believe you are capable of achieving anything you want. Anyone capable of being MT is capable of anything. Hmm, they may have come out poorly. :)
Anyway, go for it.
Now you explained it. I always thought
that dark shadow was night coming on or at least my husband's beard growing, now I know it is the indians descending.
They explained to me as just a little "extra" they thought they could do sm
for the people that work for them. I am working part-time for them, so not sure how it will work, but I thought it was a nice idea. They seem to be great people to work with. 
Yes, I got the same letter from Embarq..even after I explained (sm)
to them what I needed the unlimited LD for. I finally switched to a digital line from our local cable provider (Time-Warner) and pay $39 a month now, no matter how much long distance I use. I also work for Keystrokes.
hateful owner, hateful managers, awful company. You'll hate it. period

Ok. I could handle once as a mistake if explained promptly and fixed. Twice? I would run sm
as fast as I could. Twice in two months? What if you never get paid at all? You would be better going with a national while getting your own so that you have benefits and a steady paycheck. Start your own accounts slowly so that you start right.
ironic, since OP specifically explained about board answers.

TransTech is a good company. Debbie is the owner and a good one at that! nm

I'm not that poster. Unreal. She has explained herself half a dozen times by now.
It seems not.
Okay, here is how a recruiter who is a friend of mine explained verbal tests to me.
Verbal tests are to give the recruiter a feel of what that MT knows off the top of their head. Not all people get nervous at verbal tests but a good recruiter has the insight to know if a wrong answer or lack of an answer is from not knowing or is from just being nervous. A verbal test is done just to get a feel for the the off the top knowledge of an MT plus you know that MT is taking it. This recruiter is also an MT and having gone through so many tests the long hard way decided this was the lesser of the evils. She did tell me though if she felt that MT knew their stuff and just could not respond because of nervousness that she noted that and just by a general conversation based on experience would not flunk someone like that. Lenghty tests prove very little except that an MT has been working for companies that all have different ways of style and that she felt that was not right to an MT; as well having to take tests that are hours long after an MT has been working long hours is also not fair to the MT. And my friend told me that in many cases there are MTs that literally have other MTs take their testing for them and you would not know it until that person starts the job. It depends on the recruiter and their knowledge of the industry. Each recruiter or company has their own way and usually they find the way that works best for them. I personally find that many recruiters just have no knowledge of the industry (inside knowledge) and it annoys me that someone like that is allowed to even have the opportunity to interview and test me. I can remember one with a company up north and their idea of punctuation was way too much. It should not have been an issue unless it changed the meaning of the report but had they gone by the Book of Style they would not have added those 20 or so commas throughout the 4 reports that they had me transcribe. I passed but when you have been in this industry for over 15 years and are being judged by someone that has not and who has not been in your MT dancing shoes then something about that just does not seem right. Anyway I doubt there really is a best way to do anything, but if I had my choice, I would prefer the way that is the shortest. Time is precious and for the rates they pay nowadays those tests are just too lengthy to go through that for a whopping 7 cents a line. No thank you. I'll chance my nerves over all that.
The email said the owner as she is the owner of the email software package. sm
We got the list from AHDI. If someone does not wish to be on our email list, there is a link to click on at the bottom of those for opting out. We immediately remove those that click the link.
We also have a few mailling going out. Same thing - if you opt out of the email program, we will remove you from all contact.
We need transcriptionists for many new accounts and have ads on here and other sites, as well as several magazines. We are going to need over 100 MTs in the next 3 months due to new accounts and more work on existing accounts!
Great little company..I worked there for a short time, IC, and pay always on time, great owner too!
I had good dictators, they use FTP, and I had a 12-hour window to return the work.
You can be fired for any reason or no reason at all.
No one HAS to employ you. No one MUST keep you in employment.
As an IC, your unemployment isn't coming from the account of your contracts! It comes from YOUR tax payments!
Hmm, wonder what the owner will say
no flame, but I would not tolerate that kind of off loading in a public forum from someone on my management team. Please remember I was responding to horn tooting that was short on information and left an impression that huh, I could do better elsewhere in addition to feeling insulted at the lack of decent benefits. There was no mention of UC contribution, STD or LTD, employer paying part of the health insurance premiums.
I said what I said mostly to make the point. If you want to sell me, do a good job the first time or you sink yourself and I won't look at you twice. There was little in the original post to sway me in your favor and the Jeckle/Hyde posting afterwards warns me of good day/bad day tangents.
As I said, best of luck to your company.
Are you the owner of
Why not just post the email address of the 'administrator'. Are you just trying to draw traffic to your forums and away from the forums here.
Seems to me, if you are really seeking MTs you'd just post like the other companies do on the Job board.
