Etransplus Does
Worked for them for over 5 years and then they decide to cut our pay to according to how many lines we type, example 6,000 lines makes 6 cents, since I had always been part-time with them, that is what I typed, so they expected me to go down from 9 cents to 6 cents immediately no warning, how is that for fair, or rather unscrupulous!!!!
etransplus
You get 2 pages of account specifics, 2 sheets of do not use abbreviations, and a few samples, that's it. The accounts are great, they only require 900 lines per day to be in the pool for drawings and the bonuses, and you can set your hours. I went through 3 nationals before them and have been with them since August and I am very pleased. Plenty of work, good accounts, rarely rarely ESLs, and a good platform to work on. Plus if you get 10,000 lines per pay period, they pay half of your insurance.
ETransPlus
They are out of TN and growing steadily.  In my 20 years, I would have to say the accounts I'm on are the best I've seen anywhere.  The platform is very fast, quick demo page.  It basically looks like a version of Word.  I have maybe only 3 ESLs.   The benefits are good, tiered pay depending on lines, shift differential, etc.  If you meet your goals, work your shift, etc., at the end of the year they pay a bonus based on their profit.  There are several tiers of health, dental, life, disability insurance depending on what you need.  If you make 10,000 lines per pay period, they pay half.  The vacation days are a little limited, 9 per year, but I didn't have any before so I am not complaining.  They pay half your internet costs as well.  No, we don't get referral bonuses. :)
EtransPlus

I believe you have to do 3000 a week for part time.


ETransPlus
Are there any other eTransPlus people on here? If so, have you had difficulty getting your insurance and bonus pay?  I have been with them 10 months now and according to their paperwork, your insurance starts once you reach 10,000 lines per pay period, which was 9 months ago.  I have emailed everybody and no answer.   They promised a hiring bonus too, still nothing.  Getting sick and tired of companies who offer all this and then go into hiding when you ask questions.  What's with hiring the teeny-bopper supervisors????  Anybody else have problems with getting anything out of these people?
eTransPlus does not

EtransPlus
I work evenings and that's 90% of what I get.
etransplus

Has anyone ever worked for this company?  I am considering employment with them, and was wondering if it would be worthwhile.  Any advice would be helpful.  Thanks!


E-MTS or eTransPlus
Can anyone recommend which company they would go with between E-MTS or eTransPlus?  I am currently being offered positions by both and want to make a good decision.  If anyone is or has been employed with either, please post a comment.  Thanks!
etransplus
I have worked for both and I would definitely recommend etransplus.  Did not stay at emts long enough to tell you one way or another what to do with them, but I am more than happy at etransplus.
I was able to use it with eTransPlus - nm

Etransplus and communication
I started with them about 2 weeks ago.  When I started I got a 60 second tour on how to use the system. I received 3 samples of work and no account information. I had to BEG to get the account specifics and that took about another week.  Nobody answers emails, including the lead on the account.  The account I was given is great and the system easy to use, but what's with the lack of communication?  I have another interview today that was to be for a part-time job but I may take another one full time just because of the communication.
Are you the eTransPlus Amanda?
What happened?
Shorthand 9/eTransPlus
If anyone is currently working for eTransPlus using ShortHand 9, could you please email me? I am getting extremely frustrated with the program and would appreciate being able to talk to someone who is currently using it. Thanks so much!
Wait a minute, I'm not just talking about the boards, I'm talking about the news article.

Specifically,


"JLG has a contract with Arrendale Associates/ A+Network/CBay Scribe, which the group says is in India.
A letter from JLG to Barbara Dingman, chief compliance officer and director of health information management, says all medical transcriptionists assigned to the Medical Center Hospital account live in the U.S. and all work is done in America."


But yet they do business with Arrendale/A+/CBay, what am I missing here?


Wouldn't happen to be eTransPlus would it?

If so, at least they have communicated with you.  I have not heard a thing!  But when work is out of turn around time, everybody is e-mailing


Can one make money at etransplus?

Hi,


I am pleased with the benefit package and the line rate for insurance, but I was astounded by style they prefer.  It is just so much.  Can one make money there? 


I think DeVenture, eTransPlus, TransTech, and some Medware accts use

I work for eTransPlus, hospital accounts, and QA is great - nm

I'm talking about MT school, not K-12, which is where I learned most of what you are talking abou
My clients DO NOT LIKE IT when I correct their wrong crap - did you actually read what I said?
I'm not talking about ignorant as in grammar or spelling. I'm talking about sm
ignorant in general.
I told you once, I told you twice, eTransPlus is going down the drain!
Don't expect communication from anyone, we are only little "peons."

I'd be talking to someone

I know exactly what you are talking about.
There are a lot of people like you are talking about living in trailer parks.  However, there are trailer parks around where I live that are nothing like what you are talking about.  My point is that you should not lump everyone who lives in low-income housing together and label them as trash.  A lot of people who live in these nice neighborhoods with all their wealth, got that wealth dishonestly.  They may not be underachievers, but these people are criminals, no matter where they live.  They may be your neighbor.  It would be the same thing if everyone thought if you were wealthy, then you had to be a crook in order to get that way.  The way things are going there are going to be a lot more poor people in this country, maybe even you.  I certainly do not wish you any misfortune, but you may not always be able to afford to live in those nice neighborhoods with the high property values.  We can argue all day about it and not get any further.  The fact remains that there are stigmas regarding all kinds of things.  Even if it is partly based on facts, it still boils down to prejudice. 
I think you are talking about something all together

are you all talking about?
nm
know what you are talking about first
For your information, I had already submitted my test.  I was not "cheating" as you put it.  I didn't know what the word was and could not find it through my own research so I asked.  I am SURE that asking for assistance AFTER the test had already been submitted is NOT cheating, but trying to actually LEARN what the word was that I DID NOT UNDERSTAND.  If I had thought for a second that I needed to clarify to YOU the reasoning behind my request I most certainly would have asked you for permission first.  My goodness.
Actually she does know what she's talking about. I

What are you talking about??????
The original poster was for some reason using me as an example for her "40%" rule and I corrected her on my status!!

What in the world is your problem?
Whatever are you talking about?
..
This is exactly what I am talking about

that is how I feel when I get up from working.  I am always moaning about my knees, my wrists, my forearms, my sciatic nerve, back, neck, on and on.  I am 33 and feel like I am falling apart and I know it is because of my posture.   


What are you talking about?
Why would you assume that I have some sinister reason for this request.  It was a simple request for people who might be interested.  I posted my real name and my real email address.  I am just another MT trying to help someone out with a class they are taking.  You have a problem.
THAT is what I have been talking about all day.
You can't even discuss a difference of opinion without insulting someone.
See, that's what I'm talking about!
When I worked at the hospital I made more than my boss! I've seen Ph.D. jobs offering what I used to make 15 years ago! I think we are stuck!
You are talking about...
a person becoming a Realtor, not a real estate agent...
What are you talking about?
You are only allowed to work 8 hours per day. How is it that they 'worked your fingers to the bone'?  The required line count is average. 
I am not sure what exactly you are talking about - sm
but I tried what you said you did and my Smartype would no longer work. If you don't want to view the grey line or the choice menu of Smartype I think you can set it not to do that -- see Smartline properties and Smartlist properties under the "Stedman's" column. If you have more than 1 line coming up than I have no idea...I only have 1 and have never had that problem. Something is not geling right on your computer for some reason. --hope you figure it out.
please know who you are talking to
that was not my post.  you are very confused. 
Have you tried talking to him about this? (sm)
Sometimes they don't get it unless it is pointed out to them. See if there are other ways he can help besides turning on a TV, etc. Tell him you'd love to "love" him at night but you're too tired...that you don't get to sleep in until 9:30 and that maybe if he helped out a little, you two could spend some special time together. No, that's not a bribe or blackmail, it's just reality. If one person is forced to do a lot of the work while the other one lazes around, there is going to be a difference in how tired one is at night.


If you are talking about ME
you have it wrong. I didn't say MT's don't have brains. BUT if you think what I said is wrong then I wonder if you do. What I said was that some MT's need their hand held for every little thing. And that is TRUE. Not all, some. That is evident from the messages I get from my PS and it is also evident from posts on these boards. Geez.
That's exactly what I'm talking about

My grandfather started in the mines when he was 8.  That's just the way it was, everybody worked or nobody ate.   He loaded a coal with a shovel and got a quarter for every ton.  He worked his way up slowly throughout all his years and went on to become an electrician and a carpenter.  By the time he retired, he actually had enough income to relax and take it easy for once.  It would take him most of the morning to read through the newspaper, but he could do it.  He hunted and fished and had an enormous garden, so we were never starving and we didn't go to the grocery store except for milk.  My grandmother made bread and canned and such.  Nobody even told me I had to 1) go to school or 2) stay in school, but I was the first in a very very long line to go to college, but that wasn't until I was 35.  My family worked and they worked hard.   Our neighbors were black and the children and I grew up like family.  Their mother never worked nor did their grandparents who raised them.  My grandfather would give them fish, game meat, and stuff out of the garden in exchange for little chores such as helping out with the garden and such.   I didn't know how they lived since I didn't know about welfare.    There were 4 of them, one daughter ended up in trouble for drugs, another married a man of another race and left, the two sons are in another state and heavily involved in drugs now. I talk to their mother because she was like a family member to me and she doesn't understand why they turned out the way they did.


Under this administration, unemployment has been down in record numbers and this is reported on the news all the time.  The tax cuts haven't been just for the rich, they have helped us and we certainly aren't well off by any means.  I tease my kids that if I could work 3 jobs we could be upper lower almost middle class.  There were times I didn't have 20.00 to send my son in college to do laundry, but he made it through with every honor you can possibly get and the scholarships and now he is studying in another country.   HE did that on his own.  There is an American from Seattle in the next apartment who made the comment to him he's probably there just to lay back and he bets his jag is at home in the garage waiting for him and he told him "I am here because I earned it. I do not have a jag nor a car of any kind, nor do I have a bicycle."  This other student said my son should be "shot" because he has an American flag on his wall.    I can't imagine anyone hating this country like that and where in the world did they learn that?  School for one.  I love my country. I'm not always proud of what goes on here but there's certainly not another place on earth I'd rather live and have my children live.

was 1000 years ago . . . I'm not saying that this date means anything at all, but as far as I can tell, neither does your post???

KB, what are you talking about?
No one's been rude or obnoxious to her.  Everyone's given her good advice. It's pretty clear you're trying to start something - AGAIN, so why don't you take your frustrations and anger to another board and see how many flame wars you can start there?  We're not interested in having them here, okay??
Is this something what you are talking about? --sm

What are you talking about?
Ever hear of Jessica Lunsford, dressed in a nightgown and tucked into bed, and then gone. What about Polly Klaas? Having a sleepover, dressed for bed, and then gone, with only her overnight guest as a witness.

There are a lot of sickos out there, and to add insult to injury, most are messed up on alcohol and other drugs. This scenario is far too common in this country, and fast becoming more so.

People need to WAKE UP!!!
There is definitely a need for what you are talking about.
I have been in this field for under a year now, so I am considered a newbie. I got VERY lucky in that a friend of a friend needed help with her accounts and now I work part-time for her. But I know there are many others of us out there who are having trouble getting started.

I have no idea how you would go about your idea, however. I just know that it is needed and would be greatly appreciated. Please keep us posted on what you decide to do!
Thank God! An MT who actually knows what she's talking about! Thanks, ALN
you've restored my faith in my fellow MTs!
