Any info on Hands-On, pay on time, pay scale, plentiful work, supervisors, etc. Thank you.

Hands On - Ex-Hands On

First of all the pay is 6 CPL for IC. The work is on Bayscribe, so that is a plus. I estimate it to be 99% ESL, if not 100% ESL, seriously, and many, many very short diagnostic reports. With me, as far as QA, I worked there for a year and NEVER got off of full QA. I did not ever get 100% accurate on a single report because QA was very inconsistent. With that being said, the QA supervisor is VERY nice and she never questioned my marks and never said anything to me about them, BUT even though she was very inconsistent, it made me feel inadequate that I could not get a single report free of errors. I even told my sister once that I didn't know why she didn't fire me or something and find someone that could complete a report with zero corrections.

They do leave you alone while you work. I wouldn't say work is plentiful by any means, it is part-time at best. Oh, and they DON'T have direct deposit. Pay is via PERSONAL CHECK actually, but I never had a problem with the check not being good. Also, pay is supposed to be weekly, but that is not the case, I actually never knew when I would get paid, but I did ALWAYS get paid. Sometimes it was two weeks after a pay period and I would get the check, sometimes it was three weeks and sometimes she would combine a couple of weeks together and pay me after close to a month. I was only part-time and this was just supplemental income, so I never questioned it. I did ask specifically pay dates once and she basically said what day she "tries" to do payroll on, but apparently that didn't always work out.

I had just the opposite experience as far as work load, too much! I never had any issues with QA. The pay was only 6 cpl and not gross, as I had thought, so come payday it was a lot less than I thought, especially for all the typing. I was also not told of pay every week, but we got that straightened out. I was full-time. She does nothing to address the bad dictation habits or sound quality. I had mostly consults and pain procedures.

She was nice about giving me personal time off when a friend of mine had a stroke.

Hands On - Me Too!

I worked for about a week and at 5 cpl, which was ridiculous. I posted here about the company and was flooded with responses about how she doesn't pay or pay on time. I contacted her about this and she vehemently denied it. I don't like the personal check payment though; I much prefer DD. I have been down that road of late payments and no payments, so I took the word of the posts and there were quite a few and also an e-mail or two, very disgruntled MTs who worked for her. I found the work horrible as well. Hard to get a line count and at that rate of pay, it was not worth my time, not even as a secondary PT account. I would not advise going to work for her, unless you are truly in dire need of a job, and if that is the case, take it, but keep looking. It is such a crap shoot anymore!

The lady irritated me at Hands On - sm

I was offered the IC position at 6 cpl and she said....."I know 6 cpl is low, but the way most companies have gone to VR people should be lucky they get to straight type, so if you don't want to work for 6 cpl, believe me, there are many that do. Personally, I don't think ANYONE "wants" to work for 6 cpl and basically, to me, that statement was basically saying they don't mind taking advantage of others, because they know they can find someone to take that small wage due to the industry being so bad right now. I am not sure if that is an indicator of how they treat their employees, but NO THANK YOU.

Horrible company to work for ...late paychecks, low pay, and she is one of the rudest people you will ever work for!

She wasn't rude with me.... - sm

I worked there a while, she was never rude, but agree with the late paychecks and VERY low pay for sure! It irritated me, because pay was supposed to be WEEKLY but it was never like "Pay will be every Tuesday" or whatever, there was NO specific date pay was promised, it was when she got around to it and sometimes took a month to get paid for the week of work. That is very frustrating and I am not sure how anyone can pay bills that way.

I found some old posts in the Archives but was wondering if anyone had any recent experience with this company. Their website is a one-pager with not a whole lot of information but looks legit enough. Also, is Bayscribe easy to learn and utilize? Will it interfere with any player I currently use for voice files? I have never used any kind of platform - always just digital voice files and Word. Any information or input on either question is appreciated. Thanks! ...

Have all of you gone crazy? I have worked for C and Hands On for more than 10 years, have always gotten paid, always had work every day just as promised, and love the flexibility of my job. It is obvious that those of you who were not doing your job, and therefore have too much time on your hands, because you can't find another job are posting this non sense. I know C has been in business for 30 years starting from scratch. Tell me....how does someone stay in business for that long in ...

Okay...I am new to the boards and have only worked with Hands On for 6 months but this is one of the better jobs I've ever had. I have always been paid on time, have steady work, receive constructive feedback which has helped to improve my skills. To date, the management team has been very helpful and friendly. I don't want to disrespect my MT colleagues, but perhaps they couldn't "make the cut" or are burned out from the profession. It seems to me the same MT's are posting o ...
