What can an old employer say about you?

My original post is further down on this page. I was hired in by a company that told me I was hired contingent upon my computer passing their test. It passed the test and I was offered employment. Their techs downloaded their software on my computer and then for over a week, they worked on my computer, and then said my system was not compliant with their softwared. I asked for new account with different platform, asked for them to restore my computer to its orginal state, ...

Only using an employer as an example - my personal example - but my idea is applicable to all the others I have read about on this site Not long ago, I posted a rant about Siance not paying me. I turned them in to the Labor Board. They were given a deadline to pay me, but it could take that Dept up to 6 months or longer to get my money. I thought...HMMM...I HAVE BILLS TODAY - NOT IN 6 MONTHS MAN! So...I filed unemployment against Saince. They did a pho ...

Can anyone tell me anything about Encompass? Website looks good, but then most do. Any info welcome. I want to bail but would not like to go from frying pan to the fire. ...

Check with the BBB. They shouldn't just have NO activity, but be part of the ongoing audit, not just boast they have had NO activity. Heck, I have had no activity!!! It is only as good as what is submitted. You may have been in business 10+ years but screwed people over 5+ years of that time. If no one reports you, the activity continues.... Watch RIPOFF reports. They do not lie. Unfortunately, not enough people file these reports so some of us are ...

Took me quite awhile to figure this out. You need 2 MT jobs because they all overhire to keep many more employees less busy to pay less. In my day, you kept your 2nd job quiet, but what is the way to do it now? Is it good or bad to be looking for a 2nd part-time job, do you tell them. Is there anyone who left the first job to go full time with the 2nd one or switched them? And is it better to go IC in the 2nd job because of flexibility? I sound pretty dumb! ...

Has anyone ever contacted a former employer to see if they would re-hire you? Reason I am asking is, I was working with this MT company, but had to quit because something happened to my computer and my back-up didn't have the specifications required to run the software they use. It's been about 4 months since I've quit, and I have a new computer now that would work with what they offer. I am hesitant to ask to see if they would consider re-hiring me because when I quit, even thoug ...

Can anyone, current or past employees of M*Modal, give me an idea of how they are as an employer? Were you confined to set work times or were you able to work freely as time permitted? Also, if anyone is willing to share, what is the pay rate? (per line, per minute of dictation...)I am in Canada and I know M*Modal branches out here (they have e-mailed me informing me of job openings) but I currently work for another really good company. I am just curious as to the possibility o ...

any ideas? I live in one state and my IC "employer" lives in another. He owes me a substantial amount of money (almost 3K). Do I have any recourse against him? Could I file a suit against him with his state attorney generals office or small claims court or anything??? ...

OSI & NUANCE: Please tell me about these companies. What can i expect for per line? For editing? I have 20+ years experience in acute care, radiology and multispecialty. I am a newbie to online work. HELP. TX ...

Dear Prospective Employer, It would have been great if you had specified in your ad whether the opening was on-site or if it was available to telecommuters. If it is not available to telecommuters, then I just wasted over an hour of my time and your HR department has a unqualified application to process. It would have been great if your HR department had done a trial run through your online application to get the bugs out of it. It would have been great if you had not designe ...

I'm looking into maybe working for Transcend. I would welcome any and ALL reviews. Feel free to post here, or e-mail me privately. Thanks very much. ...

This story has been popping up in the news lately, and I find it very distressing! How low will a company stoop to find a way to practice hiring discrimination? Imagine yourself interviewing in an office or on the phone, and they ask if you use Facebook, Twitter, etc., and request you to hand over your password! Would you do it? I sure hope not! Most likely I would lose my cool and laugh in their faces, but still no way would I ever do that. WHAT an invasion ...

Hi Ladies - anyone recommend this company? Do they have good benefits?What is their line count requirement? Thanks a bunch... ...

Does anyone's employer use Epic systems? Our hospital is thinking of switching. ...

How about that. No *paper* record of me ever being employed by Nuance Transcription Services. Are they hiding something? ...

I work as an IC for a multispeciality clinic. To make a long story short, she told us on the 1st the physicians are only allowed about 2000 lines a month and after that they will be charged. They are pushing the physicians to use an automated system. She says that will decrease our workload significantly and she strongly urges us to pursue over avenues for employment. I have not done hospital transcription since 2008. I talked to my friend who works for a local ...

I am wondering, because I am not sure if I want to show another company name to a prospective employer unless asked. I like the current place and am going to stay, but it's only part-time right now. ...

Only hiring I.C.'s? Inscribe is full of it! It costs more upfront to be a 1099, and helps them evade paying taxes. There is tremendous liability on top of it. IT'S AGAINST THE LAW! *see link. http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/auditreports/2013reports/201330058fr.pdf ...

when it comes to docking your pay, and docking our pay is now the law of the Nuance landscape, sending reports to QA, etc. I have seen nothing or heard anything good, including during the conference call. Did you agree to this new and exciting plan~~~in writing? The link below, as long as the title may be, is from U. S. News and World Report. Wonder if Nuance had their lawyers look at what they are doing? ...

Have any of you had the feeling you weren't getting callbacks from employers you applied with because of your age? I've been getting that feeling, and I thought that discrimination based on age, among other things, was illegal. So of course, the answer would be to just not fill in your date of birth, right? Well, lately I've applied at a few places where the ONLY way to apply was online. I had actually called them because I wanted to either come in and fill out ...

This is funny. I just called AHDI and asked how many nominees were there for Employer of the Year for this year? With such fanfare as Webmedx makes over it, it must be quite an accomplishment, right? What's your guess? .. . . wait for it... . THREE! LOL lololol three. 3. hahaha sorry, I couldn't help it. And asked whether that's typical of previous AHDI Employer of the Year awards (because they really like to tell everyone about that title), I was told by Mi ...

I've been a transcriptionist for more than 25 years, have worked for 7 different employers, and every one of them has always said that it is required for everyone to work one weekend day, you either work sunday through thursday or tuesday through saturday. Then I see an email to all employees that says, "please consider changing your schedule to work a weekend day." WTF? There are people not already working a weekend day? That makes me feel pretty stupid for all the ...

My employer use MedQuist’s DocQScribe software and is moving us all onto its VR. So far, what we’re seeing from the VR is almost completely garbage, but MedQuist claims that our corrections will “teach” the VR to recognize our dictators’ speech patterns. Of course, our wages are being renegotiated, as well. We have about three dozen MTs and I think a few hundred dictators. So far, it takes me about 25% longer to correct this VR trash than it ...

Has anyone ever heard of an employer asking you to start at a certain and not giving a time to end a shift? What I've been getting is "just work until the work is done". Any comments are appreciated. ...

Ok, I'm being careful here because I'm not sure what companies names' we can/cannot post so here we go: I've been working for the same company (let's call it company TYPE A for now) for approximately 6-7 yrs as an IC. When I got my 1099's, the company's name TYPE A was always listed. As of January 2011, I became an employee and started recieving my checks via a payroll company, let's call them PAYROLL A. I got my W2 (online) the other day. When I ...

I worked at home as an employee for a local hospital for the last 4 years. Always worked my shift and averaged at least the minimum productivity requirement. According to the employee handbook ALL hospital employees get two paid 15 minute breaks and one unpaid 30-minute lunch. One evening while I was working, I took one of my 15-minute breaks and ran to pick my daughter up from school. I was gone literally 5 minutes as the school is like one block from my house ...

How do I figure my own line counts apart from what my employer's software says? I am just not trusting these days as my line count has suddenly dropped drastically in the last couple of weeks??? ...

this forum and I backed out because I had to purchase software and would be "micromanaged" too closely. I found myself on the offensive and caught the recruiter off guard because I told him I had no money to buy software because MTs are so poor. It was beautiful just to hear his jaw drop! I felt tremendous just to boycott this industry in my own way. ...

A little "refresher course," from the EEOC. I particularly like that last paragraph of this page. Prohibited Employment Policies/Practices Under the laws enforced by EEOC, it is illegal to discriminate against someone (applicant or employee) because of that person's race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. It is also illegal to retaliate against a person because he or she complained about d ...

They're starting in Ambulatory care this summer, getting it up and running and anticipate 2 years later the whole hospital will have it up and running. I pretty much anticipate a complete loss of employment. Can anyone else who had Epic come in tell me what happened and how soon after ? I'm just tired of being bought out everywhere by MedQuist, twice now I've run from them, but this time when the rug is pulled out from under me, i just want to be prepared. ...
