RI Unlimited Transcription Solutions - js

Posted: Jun 19, 2010

Does anyone currently work for RI Unlimited that can tell me what equipment specs they require now and if they are currently hiring part time? I could not find it on their website. Do they have shifts now or not? I worked for them for about 5 years, quit and went to work in a local medical clinic as a receptionist, worked up to clinic manager and just got my hours cut. Any info would be appreciated.

I worked for them for 2 years, made great money in 2001-2003. Big clinic account went outsourced and work dried up. I went from 3200 a month to almost nothing. I bet their set up is still the same. Simple and fast. I work a lot harder now barely make half what I made before per month and I'm an employee and they don't pay overtime but if you want more lines to make more money you have to work more.

Just wanted to grumble a bit. RI Unlimited wwas my first MT job right out of school. I'd go back in a heartbeat if they had that account and were hiring.

Those were the "good ole days." I worked there from 2003-2008. In the beginning I was on a large multispecialy account. Everything was wonderful until they went to EMR. Then I was moved around a lot just trying to get enough work. Then I went to a teaching hospital/clinic direct link and absolutely loved it. Could work whatever hours you wanted as long as you got your line count in. Then...they went to EMR. Then was moved around a lot again. Had to work about double the hours for less money. Quit there and went to work for a local clinic. Now they are cutting hours. Nowadays you just are blessed to have any kind of job. Times are tough everywhere now from what I hear and see.

They just offered me a contract as an IC. I don't know if I will take it or not. I emailed them with 2 questions, and I'm still waiting for a reply.

The contract requires "appropriate insurance." I asked if they could please specify what kind of insurance they require.

The contract also states that "Transcription received containing spelling errors will be considered incomplete and will not be paid." What happens if I submit a document with blanks? Will I not get paid?

The salary they are offering is lower than what I am getting now.

When I asked if the position was part-time or full-time, the answer was that I would be required to transcribe 1 hour of dictation per day. In other words, the recording would be 1 hour long, as opposed to me spending 1 hour typing.

I have Windows XP and Word 2007. They said that was fine. They asked if I have a foot pedal, and I do.

If I take this job, it will be in addition to the other 2 part-time jobs I currently have. They are easy dictators, and they pay promptly, but I really need more work.

I have very little experience with MTSOs. One of my other jobs is for an MTSO, and they are a pleasure to work for, but they don't give me enough work. My other job is working directly for doctors. I transcribe tapes, and they pay me by the hour, so it is very different. Again, they don't have enough work.

I hope this is helpful. Good luck.

I tested and passed everything but never heard back from RIU - ex-RIU MT

I worked there years ago, left on good terms, reapplied, only got the automated e-mails that the tests were passed but never heard anything more.

I liked it there because they left me alone to do my work. I never got docked for blanks or errors. Pay was always on time.

Wow. That spelling error thing is new to me, but I have been gone quite a while. They will not specify part time or full time, etc, because they do treat you as a TRUE IC, so part time or full time is not applicable. You have to figure out how many lines it takes to meet the amount of dollars you need.

I started at 6 cents a line in 2001 (1st MT job right out of MT course). I got a raise a year later, but I made twice as much money working about 6 hours a day compared to making half that now, working over 40 hours to meet my line requirement, but not getting paid any OT. If they are still using the same set up, your work is usually available the evening before--one big voice file per dictator. You transcribe all of dictator's reports in Word, one continuous document which allows for speed! It also allows you to do a full listen on your work when youâ��re finished, which I appreciated, so really no excuse for spelling errors. I learned a LOT about providing quality work from RIU and I thoroughly learned BOS. They were sticklers for that. Their QA was great. Good luck whatever you decide.

I do have some benefits with the VR job, but not good enough to even take them on right now. After 3 months I will start accruing PTO up to 12 days a year. Is it worth it?

Hello everyone. I am getting close to the hiring point with this company. They appear to be a larger MTSO, and I was looking for something more mid-sized so to speak.
