As large as Transcend has become, with so many - broke

MTs, you would think they could make their paydays every other Friday, instead of twice a month.
Twice a month they get to hold onto the money - longer. A company that big can earn
[ In Reply To ..]a lot on it with those extra days. Just thinking...
You obviously have missed the fact that there are no interest rates any more. - HAHAHA
[ In Reply To ..]My husband is a partner in a retail business, and their checking account earns 0.005% interest. Most don't even pay interest anymore.
Twice a month is okay with me, but it would be nice if it fell on the same two days twice a month - mt
[ In Reply To ..]Instead of sometimes being the 8th, sometimes being the 9th, sometimes being the 23rd, 24th, or 25th. It's real annoying that the dates are the same every time.
would prefer every other week, but will not get paid in July untl the 11th. That is a little - not me
[ In Reply To ..]long after the last pay day, hard to budget for anything that way. That is actually 11 days after the last working day. 5 days would be a much better deal all around
Gheesh....... - mt2
[ In Reply To ..]Some people will complain about anything! Be thankful you get a paycheck and learn to budget.
Gheez too - iljb
[ In Reply To ..]Why so snarky? Having a bad day?
I had a job years ago that paid weekly and I loved it. I'm also old enough to remember the days before direct deposit and spending Friday lunch hours in line at the bank. Even still, I liked getting the money weekly.
The worst was when I was paid monthly. I was 18 and out on my own in an apartment, but I had no idea how to budget. There were many days of peanut butter and jelly towards the end of the month! Even after all of that, I still like peanut butter and jelly! I never got sick of it. 
I'm not a business owner, but I would think it would cost them more to pay weekly if they have a payroll company do the numbers for them.
I don't mean to change the subject, but do you know if businesses pay to have direct deposit? The cost of printing and mailing checks versus direct deposit has to save them quite a bit of money over the years.
Sounds like a Transcend suit, telling MTs to - sm
[ In Reply To ..]budget and be thankful to get a paycheck while paying them peanuts to work on a crappy VR system.
Ha, it sure does! - mt
[ In Reply To ..]That is definitely their mantra to say "You should be glad you have a job."
paychecks - anon
[ In Reply To ..]Are you SERIOUS???!!!! And now we're being asked to submit "original and revised drafts" of really bad VR reports to Support, so they can solve the "big issues." We were actually also told that VR is JOB SECURITY because without editing, we'd be out of work. No. Wrong. Without editing, I'd go to work for one of the tons of lawyers patients are lining up to see with lawsuits. I actually had a report yesterday where the VR dosed NovoLog at 1300 mg. Really?? Without me that patient would be dead!!

Headset With Mic And Large Earpads

Anyone know of a reasonably priced headset with microphone (not wireless) that has the big ear pads that fit over the whole ear not just on the ear. I'm talking an ear pad about 2-1/2 x 3 inches. The one I'm using isn't all that tight, it's just that after a whole day one of my ears hurts from even the small amount of pressure. I need stereo. Hoping for under $100. ...
Getting My Own Work In Large Metro
Jan 07, 2013
I live in a large metro area with many physician offices and lawyer offices. I am a great transcriptionist and am currently doing just a couple of files a month (I know it's so little). I need more work and am going to try getting my own. Can I just drop off a letter to the offices? I am thinking about doing $1.25 per audio minute or 10 or 12 cents per 65-character line. Any advice on this method or the rates? Thanks. ...

But the biggies? All them are cut from the same cookie-cutter, and all aspire to be just as evil as that Monopoly Of Mediocrity, MQ. I cringe whenever I hear they have once again shafted their employees, because without fail, all the other ...

Large Company Sending Your Equipment Next Day
Nov 23, 2010
Does anyone know of a legal recourse for work injuries caused by company equipment? A market leader, at-the-time generous transcription company sent me an old fashioned monitor, which after years of looking at it caused ocular saccades (lateral jitter of eyes). Also, they downgraded to cheap earphones with a solenoid in them that thumped, decreasing hearing permanently, evidently, in the solenoid fitted side of the headset. I think the saccades are diminished to absent now ...
Small Versus Large Company?
Dec 15, 2011
I am wondering what the pros and cons are for working for a smaller company versus a larger one? I work for a small company and this is the only one I have worked for, but find myself lately wondering if I need to move on as I am afraid that my skills I learned may be deteriorating and there has been such a lack of communication. I realize that every place is different, but I need some opinions from others that have been in the field longer than myself. Thanks. ...
Large Hospital Accouts?? Can You Make $$
Feb 16, 2012
I just found out I am being placed on an acute care account for a hospital that has over 500 physicians! Is there really a way to make a decent income from on an account that large? It doesn't seem to me that I would get the same physicians very often, making it much more difficult to get used to their speech patterns, normals, etc. I believe this account will also be partly VR editing. Will that be any easier with that many physicians?? ...

Hi, I was on this account working directly for the hospital when we ended up outsourced, first to Transcend and then with Nuance when they took over. Back in the day, we got a TON of compliments for our work. However, at this time, I do not know a single person who used to work for them that is still there. I ran into a friend who still works in house in med records the other day, and she said the quality on the work has been ghastly! I am not trying to say any of you guys are responsible ...

VR At Transcend
Nov 18, 2009
Did VR develop Alzheimer's? It has lost everything. I am tired of no commas, periods, and everything else it reverted back to since its infancy. It is really true that now you can transcribe faster than you can edit. Does anyone even care? Do you know how many times you have to stop in the middle of labs to put in punctuation? This has been going on for over a month and I haven't noticed any big push to get it fixed. Just another way to m ...

Transcend TLs ??

I am curious as to if the TLs are meeting their requirements. They are expected to type 75-80% of their time and get paid by the line as well . I am very suspicious that they are not typing VR all day, having their work sent to India, etc, and are getting the straight typing. They get paid a flat fee per month for their administrative duties on top of that. I wonder if they are experiencing no work and looking at a blank screen most of their time& ...

About Transcend
Mar 28, 2010
I have read dozens of posts on the board about Transcend, some good and a lot not so good. However, I think there is an explanation for some MTs loving it there and others hating it so much. Transcend is a company made up of many other companies through mergers. The original Transcend who existed first, before acquiring other companies seems to be the problem. On the other hand, for example MDI/Transcend, for the most part does not seem to fit that description. You have to remember ...
VR With Transcend?
Apr 21, 2010
I'm coming to the realization that unless I get faster with editing these VR reports, I am never going to be able to make the full-time production requirements at Transcend. I'm really freaking out. Is it really possible to do 300 lines per hour in VR? How long does it take to get faster with it? ...
