New Hires from Precyse - wanna tell how is it going? - CNN
Posted: Jul 16, 2013
I know they have been hiring lately. Can you share your experience with them so far?
And did you not get paid your July 4 time - or overtime if you
[ In Reply To ..]worked on Imed accounts? That is the first time Precyse ever pulled that trick, not being able to figure out the lines in time for this pay check on Friday, so you will have to wait another pay period for it? About 20 or so people are affected and wonder if any are new.
Precyse - Lissybell
[ In Reply To ..]I am a newly hired MT for Precyse. While they have a lot to offer as a company, the pay is not commensurate with the knowledge you are expected to acquire. The client specifics are lengthy regarding formatting. I am on only 1 account presently, but sooner or later will be on more than one, and it will be difficult to keep it all straight. They also do a keyboard analysis bi-weekly telling you and them if you are using keyboard short-cuts, how long you pause on a report, etc. So in other words, they are watching what you do. No more getting up to throw a load of laundry in or speaking briefly with a family member unless you log out of their platform. That said, they do not pay me enough. Also even though on their website they list 1st shifts available, I was told they did not have any. I was hired in on 2nd shift with some flexibility as I am on the West Coast, but still 11 to 7:30 is not my idea of an ideal shift. We shall see how it goes I guess. It's rare it seems to find any really good companies that pay well and allow you to have a life as an MT. Hope this helps. I know nothing about the above as far as pay, I should receive a paycheck this Friday. Will keep you posted if I don't.

[ In Reply To ..]Lissybell - How are their benefits? Do you get PTO. Also how is insurance? Do you get paid twice a monthly or biweekly? THANK YOU!
Precyse Benefits, etc. - Lissybell
[ In Reply To ..]Hi, they provide a full benefits package, medical, dental, vision, long and short-term disability, life insurance, etc. Costs vary depending on plan. They have PTO you accrue as a dollar account, and ATO (accrued time off) and you can use your PTO dollars or chose not to get paid if you want to take time off. Paid bi-weekly, direct deposit. I looked at about 20 different companies when looking for work, and felt Precyse was the best one by far, but as I said I am new so my opinion may change. They do provide equipment which was to me a big bonus as I did not want to purchase my own equipment running Windows 7 as I have Windows 8 on all my home computers. All the trainers and QA folks I've dealt with seem really nice. Oh yes, you can earn a 50 dollar bonus each pay period if your lines in a pay period are over 20,000 I believe with VR and straight transcription being a different point value that they tally to get that number. Again, unsure how this works as I'm new. They are paying me 0.52 and 0.83 cpl for voice and straight respectively. Your welcome :}
Hi Lissybell - Ignore those keystroke analysis - things; they do not mean
[ In Reply To ..]anything in the grand scheme of things. They will tell you it is for you to see how you can improve your production. BULL. The best way to improve your production is lots of macros and sit in the chair and beat keys, and figure out work-arounds using the shift/arrow and control/shift/arrow keys in ASR. No laundry!! Those days are over. This is the same as if you worked in an office and that is why they want to watch everything you do. If you were in an office, you would get griped at for hanging around the water cooler too long and not working, this is the same thing the only way they can do it remotely. HINT - You can go pee without having to sign out if you go when it's a longer job, which would take a little longer to transcribe; no peeing in short jobs unless it is a lousy dictator that takes a long time to get no matter what the job length. Just do not stretch the time in a job to more than 3 or 4 minutes actual hitting keys per 1 minute of audio. If a job is 2 minutes long, get back to the machine within 6 or 8 minutes and you will get away with it albeit your line counts will be lower and it could impact whether you meet line requirements.
What they started you at is pretty standard from what I see other companies offering.
They pull that first shift promise then oh sorry there are no openings after you get hired crap on new hires including people who come with an account. The only way to get first shift is to already be on it and the only ones on that are the old-timers who have been there a while, meaning more than a year. Please email me, there is so much more I could say..... but it looks like you are getting the Precyse reality check. What they say and what they do are not the same thing and what they do not say and you have no clue about until you experience it are not kosher either. Good luck! Email if you feel froggy.
Just my opinion, but - Old Pro
[ In Reply To ..]If it has gotten to a point that a person can't go to the bathroom without reason, this industry truly HAS become the sweatshop we have all feared.
That's the what Precyse world has come to and - from what I see posted
[ In Reply To ..]here, Precyse is only the tip of the iceberg. I have no clue if it is this bad for ICs but employees have to account for every minute and if your minutes/hours beating keys do not match up with what is on your timecard, there is hell to pay for the MT.
That is why I left, they treat you like a baby ... - Long Gone Precyser
[ In Reply To ..]... and monitor you like Big Brother. It doesn't matter if you are a great/high producer with great accuracy, they will hound you if you take five minutes off per hour to stretch. If you do this and want to keep your job you have to work off the clock.
But how can you do that? - Precyse
[ In Reply To ..]I thought that the system would create some report/warning that you were typing without being clocked in or not on your scheduled hours?
Nothing telling you that you are off the clock - but you will get the
[ In Reply To ..]"10-minute warning" popup telling you that you have been idle for 10 minutes and have 5 more minutes before you get kicked out of the system. It does not matter whether you might be doing Google searches or whatever, as long as those keys are not pressed that idle time is used against you. But they supposedly take research time, etc., into consideration in their lines/hours requirements. Rotsaruck with that!
Working Off the Clock - Long Gone Precyser
[ In Reply To ..]You just work on your day off, or after you clock out; you don't clock in or out for that period of time. They don't really care about that - hey say they do (because of the laws) but there is really no other way, and they will never say anything about it. They just look at their numbers of keyboard time vs. clocked-in time. So you have to work off the clock.
How many lines per week or pay period - do they require? NM
[ In Reply To ..]no message
So they are not such a great company to work for - sm
[ In Reply To ..]after all, are they? I remember you as the one (and only one) who was touting their good qualities...see where it got ya?
Excuse me? They do have good qualities - and bad, take your
[ In Reply To ..]pick! Like anything else. Their platform is good, the benefits are good enough, you get a shift differential and weekend differential, QA is inconsistent but not mean or nasty. If you expect to become rich or your expectations are too high, dream on, it's not gonna happen.
I said they were good too... - but I came from M*Modal!
[ In Reply To ..]...where they had the same ability to monitor keyboard idle time BUT did not pay time & a half for OT or treat me like a human being.
Precyse - lissybell
[ In Reply To ..]I never stated they were not a good company, I still feel the same as when I was hired on, that of the companies out there, they seem to be a better one. Of course, opinions can change once you start working, but would rather be at Precyse than M*Modal or Nuance. All of this is an adjustment for me after having worked for a major health insurer in my area for 9.52 cpl across the board (VR or straight), in a union position. Yes, I know those days are gone in the world of MTs, thus, thinking about coding as an option. We should try to convey accurate information about the companies out there, based on our experience working with them.
Anytimg has got to be better than Nuance - CNN
[ In Reply To ..]I cannot imaging anything being as bad as Nuance has become!
It does sound like they are - the worst of the worst now.
[ In Reply To ..]but it sounds like MM might have something up their sleeve according to posts re: Shaw.
What an accolade, huh?

Anybody Wanna Hear My Story About VR?
Apr 29, 2010
I am a small MTSO. I had a pretty big hospital account that went to ES VR 2 years ago. The fallout for the hospital has been rather profound. They offered me 16 for straight and 8 for VR. I thought at the time that I could live with that if VR made MTs faster and they could earn virtually the same as for straight typing. Well, that didn't turn out and my MTs ran like scalded dogs! I have since learned through grapevine that they are in real big trouble. The remaining few hospital MTs are ed ...
