Anytime a company does not honor its own paydates,

In Reply to: If company sets up new pay plan and (sm) - diddles
I would never give a 2nd chance to miss it.
If you have anything in writing or email, I would take that to an attorney. They owe you money. You were given a paydate and they failed to pay. I would also take to the attorney a list of dates/times you tried to contact management, who you were trying to contact, at what number/address, and the response you received.
Not honoring paydates is a zero tolerance issue in my book.
I would make sure at the very least to contact the Better Business Bureau and file a complaint.
Good luck.

honor has nothing to do with it.
1) see a professional, their consults are free.
2)LISTEN to the professional once you see them.
3) Put aside pride.
4) If you DO have to declare, prepare for a bumpy ride. Life changes.
5) If they say to do something else besides going bankrupt, it's not easy, prepare yourself for life changes.
6) FIND SOMEBODY OTHER THAN US TO TALK TO! Get into counseling, a group meeting, a church group, find somebody to talk to. Either way, it's a lonely thing, being in this position.
What do you want a medallion of honor?
Whoa, you did 1900 lines. That means you must have been working an awful long time. I find it hard to believe considering you have had time to come on here all day with your multiple alter egos. What makes you think you are the only one who can transcribe and make money? That is what we do for a living. Get with it. We have all made money today.
No. I don't want a medal of honor.
I want you to find a job you are happy with and shut up. Be productive. Enjoy yourself.
I want you to stop feeling sorry for yourself. You have everything you need to change your life. I want you to realize that.
I didn't work that long to get my production either, just 9 hours. That's what I usually do. It's what I WANT to do.
I'm an MT, not a recruiter. Scouts honor! nm
Also those old vows I took, love, honor and OBEY just do not cut it.
I don't obey any man. Men are totally stupid. I will be their best friend and work with them, but I will not have them running my life. I took those vows as they used to not offer any other when I was married a long time ago. Some men are still under the belief those vows are there. Not!
That's right. Based on the honor system. Makes sense then

Anytime you want to work on it
Let me know. I will be more than happy to lend my marketing experience and anything else that needs to be done.
It happens with all groups, everywhere, anytime…
this post was like if you let your children go to daycare, see what happens. The world has become so evil that it just does not apply to if you have your children in day care. Remember about the mother in Texas, stay at home, who drowned her 5 children at 1 time. Beautiful children and yet a mother no less. You cannot just say not on my watch. That is what I was speaking about. I think lots of people have their heads in the sand thinking just home front is safe and secure.
I think anytime you get a raise you should
thank your lucky stars. I have been doing this for over 20 years and I cannot even remember a raise, probably in the 80s or early 90s? I think most places, the companies here, are not giving raises these days. I make less than the 80s and 90s now. Others will make more but they are probably the ones who have their own accounts.
Here's you a link on it. Won't be anytime soon.

you can sign up for IPAY anytime and see what

Anytime Felicia, I enjoy
telling people where to put things.
READ ingredients!! Anytime you see
(meat) *byproducts* you are getting *and paying for* mystery meat that *you would not choose to feed to your beloved animal* if you could see what it was. It's not far-fetched at all to call it "road-kill!"
Good rule of thumb: Most of the mega-corporations out there making dog/cat food and spending BIG BUCKs for advertisement of how great their product is - are usually the ones most guilty of scamming you by adding unhealthy ingredients.
It's not that difficult to find quality food for your best friends -
keep us posted and you can email me anytime.
 You can do it!
Anytime someone makes a suggestion for an -sm
actual action to be taken, all the naysayers on this board try to blast them out of the water with their *flame*-throwers. "What goes around", et al.
I love my ESL docs and would see one anytime sm
over an English as first language doc. All they care about is money, not patient care. I think the ESLs actually CARE about their patients.
anytime a doctor's wife is involved in the
practice, it's always something...susan
did you try to do a system restore? anytime i find myself sm
in a situation like yours, i always try system restore to an earlier date to fix the screw up i did. no need to uninstall programs that way either. so much easier. i agree with the other poster, sometimes i get so furious with IT that i hang up on them and fix it myself!! if working on the computer is your income, you owe it to yourself to learn how they work so you can fix minor problems or be best friends with an IT or repair person you can call 24/7 without a huge price.
You are far from stup Kathy. Think it through or contact me anytime.

Anytime! Hope it gets worked out. Good luck! nm
People always seem to have to find fault in everything anytime there is a change. No, we are not
We have implemented links to various keywords and it will be growing over time. At present, we have about a dozen keywords that you can link to when there is a reference made in a post by a poster. We felt that visitors would WELCOME information that they may be seeking.
Regarding Medquist, it's no secret that the company outsources offshore. That has been made public my MedQuist for some time now.

If you spent anytime here at all, y'all know how I feel about offshoring. :0) SM
 What most don't realize is while there are laws protecting your medical data in the United States, these laws are unenforceable overseas. So basically, a patient's supposedly "protected health information" isn't really protected at all once it electronically crosses the borders out of the U.S. I think it is important that all patients be aware of this fact and have a say whether or not they want someone in India having access to their medical data!
I've been talking to a newspaper reporter in my area who is interested in running a story on this subject especially because I have firsthand knowledge of a local hospital who is outsourcing all of its transcription to a MTSO that offshores to India. I'm very excited because I've been pushing for public awareness of this subject for a while and I feel like I'm finally on the threshhold of effecting real change in my little part of the industry.
Anyway, change has to start with us, the MTs. We are MTs and we are patients. We have valuable knowledge as MTs about what happens to our protected health information and we should pass that knowledge on to those patients who don't have the benefit of being employed in the healthcare industry and are unaware of what happens to all that electronic information that makes up their medical record. I've told my whole family to ask "who does your transcription" at the doctor's office, the hospital, etc. When the doctor's office or the hospital hands you a HIPAA disclosure, that's your opening to ask questions about who all sees your medical record, who does the transcription, and is your medical information protected even if it is sent to India to be typed.
Okay, that was my soapbox speech for the day. 
Anytime I've tested, it's always been the same test on mttest.com, or careerstep. See if you c

What Company is This? I have been hired by a company that is sending a foot pedal.. Don't want t
.
The company cutting cpl, the company stopping paying for headers
:{
Good of the company? As IC, I am my own company. Not my problem if she has problems as long as I do
:P
Accepted a job with a new company, gave two weeks notice to my old company..
Old company, let me go before two weeks was up. New company, said they were having trouble getting me set up and my equipment ready, but they would pay me while I waited. It's been a month, still no check from new company even though I was told it was "in the mail." I have no income and am at a loss.
I have a signed offer letter from the new company, contracts, etc. I applied for unemployment, but old company is saying I quit and technically I am currently employed with the new company! New company is not returning calls or answering email.
What should I do!?!?!?!
I started sending my resume out today, but the process of getting a new job will take at least two weeks and I need money now to catch up on what I'm behind!
Call me, call me anytime.
I'm waiting to hear back on a job. Call me!
You don't want to work for this company. Call your current company and
tell them that you have decided against the new position and tell them that you would like to stay. It is cheaper for them to let you stay than to train someone new. A company who could be so tacky as the one you just spoke of is one you do not want to work for. You can rescind your resignation. If you are a good MT, they will be glad you did.
With my company, ICs use their own emails, employees have company email.

....3 months later my old company rehired me; can you return to your 1st company?
nm
Local radiology company, not transcription company
who has only 5 transcriptionists and are not hiring at this moment. We all work at home and get great benefits, no insurance out of pocket and 22 days paid vacation in the first year, after that it goes up. I feel very fortunate to have found them, but again I chose them because they did not do production, so now that they are, I'm a little disappointed.
I think it varies greatly from company to company...sm
I was hired five months ago by a national straight out of school at 8 cpl. I think it just depends on your knowledge level and ability, and of course, what the company is willing to pay.
i think it varies from company to company and/or location
VR company? Not when the MT company owns its own VR equipment. n/m.

I have my own company email with my new company.
I can't answer your questions in your original post, I can tell you that with my new company, I have my own company email account, and I much prefer it. My old company had us use our personal email accounts, and they listed everyone who received emails in the cc line. They really never maintained those lists, and I received emails from them for a full five months after I quit - that despite my repeatedly asking to be removed from lists. Because the list had been passed from one person to the next in the company, I kept having to block sender after sender. Finally I replied to all, for each and every email I had gotten over a month's time. Well, that pretty much ended it.
I like to keep work and personal separate as much as possible.
It can vary from company to company.
If a company is on one coast and you on the other it can affect shift time, meaning usually if you want to start work 9-10 instead of 11 you could for 3rd shift, etc.
Buy your own... company computers are for that company only!

some of what you want to know varies from company to company,
client to client. The services each have their own QA grading system and you will get a copy at hire that tells you everything they deduct, and for how many points. This usually also includes formatting, such as wrong dates, right exam/wrong patient, etc.
You will need to know your punctuation and grammar first and foremost and use it properly, this is what you do. THEN if the client requests garbage in/garbage out (usually because they don't trust leaving anything up to us), you give it to them even though it hurts -- and should not be marked off QA for it.
Where do you study? Colleges with the 2 yr transcription course in my state make you take a year (or 2) of English grammar. No offense, but it's pretty much a 5th/6th grade review (is vs are, doctors' vs doctor's).
blanks will be limited, usually to 2, before you cannot send the report to client.
Wrong shortcuts - pay attendion to detail.
Varies from company to company
My first company I chose specifically because I knew they had a mentoring program and you had 12 weeks of "mentoring" to get up to speed. The training was very thorough. The first week was all training classes. There were very limited samples (1-2 per doc if at all). I worked there 6 months and never made their production quota, but they didn't care. When I asked my account manager about it, she said they knew the account was very difficult 95+% ESLs) and she wasn't worried about my production, that I was doing well.
I have also worked with companies that just did a training over the phone (usually about an hour) just to learn the platform. Then they did full QA for a day or two and then I was on my own. For both of these companies, I could review all the past reports of the doctors on the platform. That was really nice. I didn't have production requirements with these positions, just a daily schedule that I had to stick to. They just wanted to know when I would be working.
My recent company gave me a 10-minute training over the phone and gave me a couple of samples of a couple of the harder docs. I then had to submit 3 reports to the account manager to review, and then I was off on my own and was required to meet production immediately.
So it all depends. Each company is different. Good luck on the new job!

My company did
They accessed and I watched what they were doing. It was an odd occurrence for me to watch...amazing, actually. I was amazed at the technology, but I suppose everything was okay, cause not had any problems from it. Like I said, I could see everything they were doing. It was like they had control of the mouse and I was watching with them sitting beside me!
My company did....
I was having major problems and they had to gain access to fix it. He told me that after our session, access could not be gained again. My husband (who is a computer nerd) confirmed this.
company
the company is e-Tranz out of Snellville GA
