Breitner's paying double time
Posted By: christopherskitty on 2005-10-30
In Reply to:
Anyone ever work for a company before that paid actual overtime? I haven't. I have worked for Breitners now for 4+ years and they are great, but was totally shocked this weekend when they asked for overtime help and offered to pay us double time AND bonus money if we typed more than 2 hours of dictation...... Just wondering if there are any other companies out there that do this, as Ive never ran into it before.......

are these folks paying on time?
Thanks for the tip, will take test today, looks pretty rudimentary though, is this on the up and up?
I worked part-time for someone like that and they used the QA % to keep from paying bonuses
the QA % to keep from paying bonuses and I think that is so wrong. I no longer work for them.
Most of the reports that I had sent in were sent because the quality of the file was bad. it had a lot of skips and jumps in it and it could not be filled in.
They required 10%. The closest I got was 33%.
I think it is so wrong to require a %.
Only if they're paying 20+ per/hr with cheap benefits, 401K, and generous vacation time.
s
supposed to be, after people lose their jobs, they are forced to take part-time, lower-paying jobs..
with little to no benefits. service jobs. where are you going to work in a few years, when Medical Transcription is replaced by technology? McDonald's, Walmart? you really going to like that?
Breitner is the same way
Stay away from Breitner Transcription also. They are horrible to train with!!! They give you terrible ESLs!!

This is the first time I have looked at this site. I have worked for Breitner for 2-1/2 years. I was surprised to see the negative comments posted. I have found this company a wonderful place to work. I have never had a late paycheck. My manager is wonderful and is always available (even when she is not working). QA department is very knowledgeable and helpful. The owners of the company make themselves available to staff also. The systems administrator is very knowledgeable. The MTs who work for this company are a very dedicted group of women who are very conscientious about their work! This is a great place to work!!

I'm a MQ employee looking for another job. Does anyone know stuff about Breitner in MA?
Breitner
I have never posted or replied to a msg on this board; however, I have worked for Breitner for a few years now and they have always been more than fair with me. Yes, your first paycheck takes 30 days to process. They pay every 2 weeks and have even sent my check by Express Mail at times to make sure it gets to me in a timely manner. If you have acute care experience and a good work ethic, I would recommend them. Give them a try. They do seem to try hard to keep their accounts and their MTs happy.

Good company - give them a try.
Try Breitner in MA - nm

Is this with Breitner?

Breitner Transcription
Is there anyone out there that works for Breitner Transcription? I was wondering about this company. Is it hard to get on. I've already taken the test and I believed I passed, just waiting on company to contact me about a position. Just wondering . Thanks 
Breitner's are hiring
Their accounts are very demanding in their quality. If you can do that, then they would love to have you. Ive been with them for years and they treat you like family. I tried to leave once for a better money offer and the owner matched their offer to keep me. I think they actually do care about their MTs, but I also care about my account that I work on too. They appreciate good people.
Current Breitner MTs.
Are there are any CURRENT Breitner MTs out there? Would like to talk. Please reply. Thanks.

I did a search to find info in the archives on Breitner. I just completed their testing site in answer to the QA Specialist ad. Can anymore tell me anything about the company, how their pay rate is, etc.
Go to Breitner. Their QA is very easy on you. NM

Wondering if there are any long-term Breitner's Transcription Services employees or ICs out there...
Breitner Transcription Services is hiring
I've worked for them for 2-1/2 year and never run out of work..couldn't be happier
What are you paying your MTs? If you're only paying 7 or 8 cpl
and expecting extremely experienced MTs, forget it. You're not going to get it. If, however, you're willing to pay 9 or more cpl then you will find what you're looking for. There ARE experienced MTs out there who will work their fingers to the bone IF they are compensated well and treated with respect.
ATT- I was paying $320 for 7000 minutes, I am now paying $175 for 5000 minutes in CA. nm

Double Wow sm
Could you please e-mail me that recipe, I promise I won't disclose it to anyone!
Double what you'd pay an IC
probably. I'd say the MTSO I work for probably makes double what I do in order to pay me. Makes sense.
Double applause! nm

double space
Geez, I thought I asked a simple question, but I guess not. I could care less what Medquist or AAMT say. I get paid hourly so I didn't ask the question because I was worried about money. I was asking in general style terms - are newspapers, magazines, i.e., anything in print spacing this way now? I just wanted to know if I was behind the times.
double (sm) I mean triple for me
Double standard
So we expect MDs to always have their complete attention on every word out of their mouths, which would be nice, but some of them put in 70 or more hours a week at the office/hospital, and have mountains of dictation to complete each week. But we expect them to never make a misspeak, even though on these boards we have a heart attack if one poster points out another poster's spelling or grammar error. Never mind that we are supposed to be better at English than the MDs, but we don't have to use our skills in writing posts (which is MUCH easier to do well than never making a misspeak), even if the post has to do with getting a job. That's quite a double standard, if you ask me.
thanks for that - but I need help with double spacing - sm
not with spacing between sentences. Its when a doctor dictates a paper for a journal and he wants the whole thing double spaced so that he can write between the lines or make corrections or for easier reading for him.
double ditto!
My hands feel great at the end of the day. Will never be without one of these keyboards! :-)
I use double ?? and have alt+R set to jump to them. nm

Double bind for an MT
You know, spouses tend to undervalue what we do when we are trying to do it. We put up with a lot to work at home (I know I did when I was married). He had no trouble spending the money, despite is constantly berating my efforts and undermining my contracts by calling the companies I worked for and pitching a fit about my not being paid enough, or I was working too much or he couldn't figure out why I could not take any old time off I wanted...again not respecting that this is a REAL JOB that has to be DONE ON A TIMELY BASIS. I could rant all day, but I won't, you get the idea.
Then, when we divorced he wanted to know what it is was worth. Ummm nil since you managed to lose most of my work for me? I was holding only one contract my own for about $3000 a year when they bothered to get me paid.
Just an observation because some men seem to think they can have it both ways.
I am joyfully single now, and have been single for as long as I was married. The single time has flown by in a flurry of doing my own thing, working when I want to, sleeping when I want to, eating what I like, when I like. So much nicer than doing everything on HIS terms.
Double spacing in an H&P
Where and when, if anywhere, is it acceptable to double space between anything in an H&P or any other report? We have a double-spacing queen in our department getting paid by the line like the rest of us so I feel cheated on both line count and paydays. 
Thanks and hope everyone is having a Happy Valentine Day!
I double space
My docs want double spacing between their headings in their consults/H&P and paragraphs in letters, guess you count that double spacing when you leave a blank line. Also in chart notes, my GI's want me to double space between paragraphs even in their SOAP notes. Up to the account.
double hmmm? What gives?
nm
Double aargh!!
I just finished one doc who must have had something horrific for lunch ... a normally terrible-to-listen-to ESL who burped and belched his way through a 10-minute report without ever even thinking to say "excuse me". Sure glad he does not treat me. Very rude and disgusting.
I always double space...sm
I saw that rule in the new BOS as well. I tried it, but the document looked too cluttered and hard to read. I also put two spaces after a colon, regardless of what the BOS says. It had always been proper to it that way, and it is what I was taught in typing class, clerical practice class, and when I started in MT over 17 years ago. The BOS seems to try to make up its own grammar and punctuation rules regardless of what has been done nearly forever.
Double GRRRR
Been there, done that. It's awful isn't it? Tomorrow will be better maybe? Hope so.
Do I hate VR yup and double yup! nm

I don't live in a double wide
Oh honey, you got it all wrong. I have the TRIPLE WIDE right next to YOUR DOUBLE WIDE.
Don't be jealous and all because you don't got the triple wide!!!
Used PayPal for Ebay and they took out double the (sm)
money. Have tried ever since to get the second deduction back but as yet, no luck. Don't trust PayPal and certainly don't trust ebay anymore.
DOUBLE? ARE YOU CRAZY ??? I WISH !!!!!!! ROFLMAO!!!!
nm
The double standard existed before
we got involved, i.e. they supposedly have more education and certainly make more money than we do, so why should we be expected to not only be perfect, but to fix their mistakes too??
thanks for the tip, but as stated, our specifics say double. nm

Lucky us. Double the hostility. nm

okay I'll double check that - thank you. nm

Doubling my hours would not double my pay
Transcribing is a part physical/part mental job. As the day gets longer, my line count tends to get lower and lower. To double my pay, I would probably have to work 2.5 times more.
