Training without new hire paperwork - MTsasha

Posted: Feb 16, 2010

I was hired into a company last week. Now, I am asked to be trained without signing any new employee paperwork and to get started immediately. I was told my paperwork would come via email and I should sign and send it back, but I have yet to receive anything,but I am being pushed to start transcribing reports. Might this be so that they can decide if they want me to stay or not. Are they trying to see my work first before they send me the full employee packet. I took a very detailed on-line MTTest for them and passed with flying colors. So what else could it be.

Thanks everyone.

I'm with you... I would not start any work until I have seen and signed the paperwork. - Just a thought

I have been testing and accepted an offer from a company recently, but I have a theory. If the company is disorganized in its hiring process, your whole experience with them will be that way. When you have a question or concern, the right hand still will not know what the left hand is doing and you'll be frustrated. I currently am just getting the runaround from the company I accepted the offer from. It's one excuse after another. Oh such and such will contact you and get you the paperwork, then such and such will train you, but then they all go missing in action. MOVING ON.. So, honestly, if you have not gotten paperwork, I wouldn't waste your time.

No way... - Sam

Even with paperwork, some companies expect you to work for peanuts while they work through their technical issues...and even then you're not sure if you're considered an employee. They get away with way too much. Definitely hold off IMHO.

Nuh uh. Call and tell them you haven't received - the paperwork. nm

In 2009, I accepted a position with a company with first name beginning with "B" that operated just like the one that the original poster for this thread describes. The paperwork came a few weeks later, way after I was "trained" and started to work. It seemed that there was a lot of disorganization from the beginning. I didn't want to believe that I had made a bad choice in accepting the job, so I kept plugging along.

Training consisted of the account manager reading the account specs. She did not miss a beat, even when my other phone rang. Even though "training" was supposed to last for a mandatory three days, it was whittled down to less than two days without notice to me. I was expected to take a two-hour break and then start my regular shift, working a total of 14 hours that day. NO, I did not agree to that.

Then, communication was almost nonexistent.

I personally needed more contact with the management, especially when first starting the job. Also, the QA dept there had some really weird ways of interpreting the BOS, third edition.

Also, the work just dribbled in. I decided that the job was more trouble than it was worth. So, I quit. I appreciated the learning experience, though. It was an eye-opener, in many ways.

What else it could be, MTsasha - Nick

What else could it be? It could be a clossal ripoff. DO NOT TOUCH THAT KEYBOARD until you have a signed contract in hand!!

no paperwork - tired MT

Could this possibly be Breitner? Breitner did this to me and if you don't get their program within 2-3 days, you're out. Thus they save all the paperwork hassle.

Just curious: Any MDI MTs not feeling like jumping through the hoops, printing out the paperwork for Transcend on THEIR deadline even though we don't become official employees until Feb 1?

Yeah, it's business, and that usually means it is okay t ...

It has been 9 years since my one and only raise, so after hassling CCM for last few months, she finally got on the ball with it. First, I had to have an audit, which was done on 10/01 and my score was 99.89, so she went ahead with the paper work. She told me a couple of days ago via IM that the paperwork had been submitted (however she failed to say when). Soooo, my question is....how long does it take for it to go through? ...

Dear Fellow MT's, Please advice me with some reputable information on how to get started with a company or job transcribing.

I've worked in the ICU, DOU, and Emergency Room for 4 years and then worked on a Cardiology Unit in Telemetry with heart rhythms for another 3 years. Before all this I've worked as a CSS for 3 doctors on t ...

part-timers for weekend work anymore? That's the way it was done for years, full-timers for M-F and part-timers for weekends, and it worked great because so many MTs are looking for extra weekend part-time work anyway. It seems to be mostly the bigger corporations, as usual, changing things for the worse here. Is it just the laziness of the HR & management people, not wanting to process part-timers? I suspect a lot of the very-experienced MTs are working at small ...

as employees, yet the MTs are still on production instead of hourly, and the new hires never get any work to do. If they do get any work, it's not enough to live on. They want you to sit there until they have enough "extra" for you to do?? How is that right? There must be some kind of fraud or something legally that I don't know about that can take these companies to task for doing this to people. I'm tired of being treated this way, starving all the way t ...

Seriously? Is this typical? Love how recruitment hyped this place up. New PT hire, assigned one primary acct, finished the umpteen hours of training, released to TSM and on my first "live" day of work my account is OOW? Then receive a zip file of emails from TSM sent to the ENTIRE team which include prior employee resignation letters, employees being reprimanded, and the kicker - TSM acknowledges that the work volume on the account that I was assigned to wasn't ...

I know this is an extreme long-shot, but I'm wondering if there are any good MT companies out there that hire M-F and pay a fair line rate (for the way things are today anyway). It doesn't matter to me whether I work employee or IC. I just left Nuance a couple months ago and am working general transcription on my own schedule right now, but it's way too strenuous for the pay rate and the work is sporadic. I've got to figure out my next move, but I hate to go back to working e ...

I just started with Nuance this past week. During the hiring process, I had good communication with the recruiter.

However, since my first day on the job, I have only heard from my TSM once, and that was a bulk e-mail to lots of people. Is this typical? I've been reviewing my QA in Fiesa and making notes, but should I be expecting any other kind of feedback or communication ...

I thought maybe I was doomed to the lot of those who want to hire ICs to work as employees with set hours and all sorts of other restrictions but finally I am actually working as an IC with 24-hour turnaround time with both companies. For me, this is an ideal situation as I am at my most productive when I work a couple of hours and then do something else for awhile. There are so many MTSOs who take advantage of the MTs any way they can, and that makes me even more grateful for the ones who "do ...
