No. I have a couple of friends working for them, too, and they said that Susan (Human Resources) wants them to sit online waiting for jobs to post then do them, so they aren't even making minimum wage. So it goes when working for foreigners. I have started sending inquiries to politicians asking why a foreign owned company is doing government (VA) accounts, sponsored by American taxpayers, and now, it appears costing American's jobs and earnings.

Alpha apparently either isn't permitting primary accounts anymore, or they have overstaffed them to the point that they are practically nonexistent. Though they were denying rumors, turns out those rumors were very accurate.

Overstaffing was intentional. Brought on new MTs just before the time of line count method changed (late July), paying them less. Now manually manipulating work away from some long-term MTs that receive a higher line rate so they will leave or if you don't leave, owe you much less. Either way, they want more money in their pocket. Pretty crappy, right?

Sure is, but seems to be usual for foreign countries. How did you find out what they were doing?

Currently working under Alpha and have been completely screwed since they switched my accounts 2-3 months ago. My CPL rate got cut after going from non-VA to VA accounts. They would not work with me or allow me to go back to the old account. I'm livid!!

Not sure, but the work load started to diminish about three weeks ago. They keep lying and saying that the work load always fluctuates, no new employees, government work not going offshore (but the money is), etc.

An acquaintance of mine got this message from Alpha (now owned by ImedX). There has been a lack of work since ImedX took over countless VA hospitals that used to be handled by Alpha. In short, U.S. Government is now paying a foreign company, using taxpayer money, while causing unemployment for Americans, and the so called Americans working for Alpha/ImedX are assisting them. As you know, the workload for the accounts in which you are providing services has been low over the past several month ...

Just got a letter from the IRS saying they concluded that I performed services (2013) for the firm (Alpha) as an employee! So looks like Alpha and their COO and CRO "team" weren't playing by the rules, although their webpage currently boasts Ms. CRO "ensured compliance with Federal law and managing the payroll benefits for IMedX" in her bio. I see their new webpage no longer has IMedX attached to it--what's up with that anyone know? ...

That was fast! http://www.imedx.com/news/trio-consulting-acquires-alpha-transcription-imedx I also found an interesting article on the legalities of small VA contractors winning contracts as a "small" business while combined with huge businesses... http://www.njit.edu/ptac/veterans It appears that Alpha is separating from huge, Indian-owned Imedx, so hopefully the complaints filed with the contract officers and DOL were starting to sink in. ...

Moderator, please delete everything on your site that refers to Imedx, even this post of mine, it is only the right thing to do. I prefer to be angry and have no where to vent. Last week we were told by Op Mgr that "she has a call into the client about why volume is so low." Yesterday, we got a "yippee" from "her" about having a coupla hundred jobs ready. This morning, we got an email saying, "we need to make sure you have backup accounts now." I wont address the timesheet issue, I am still ...

No one on this board seems to give specifics when they get canned from IMEDX. So my question is this: Can each person who got laid off/fired let us know more details. Were you PT or full time, did they call or did they email, did you have options, or just firing. How many lines did you do per day. Some of us may not be in your situation and you may have been just an employee that was not worth IMEDX's time and they got rid of you while they may keep all the others, or full timers. Details p ...

Looking at their ad on MT Daily. Any information would be helpful. Are there any benefits for FT or is it IC's only? The ad says IC. If they have FT/employee, do they offer insurance? I see it is mostly editing. Do they frown upon using the mouse to move around in the text? Do they count off for errors? Just routine information would be helpful. ...
