2 weekend days a month, no insurance
Posted By: sm on 2007-02-28
In Reply to: Are you required to do weekends? sm - interested
Statutory employee, not IC. I think their minimum for full-time (paid a better line rate if full-time) is 700 lines a day, but someone please correct me if I'm wrong on that. You pay long distance (most accounts). My accounts are heavy ESL.

Told minimum PT was 3500 lines a week; requires 2 weekend days a month nm
xx
The new insurance is very reasonable. I pay $200/month and they pay $200/month. sm
Unfortunately, I have had to use it a lot since it changed and I am very happy. They have covered everything.
The insurance is actually $80 cheaper per month than I paid at the local hospital, which is a large employer.
one weekend a month is absolutely doable! sm
I was just offered a position and I am seriously considering taking it, however, I had to send a few more questions to the recruiter, but sounds and looks great. If the testing reports I did are indicative of the reports I would be getting for work I am really thrilled!!
At least Transtech requires only 1 weekend per month
That is why everybody wants to work there plus the fact that you are seen as an equal and not harassed to death.
The PT they will hire now is for both weekend days. Otherwise, they are FT only. sm
I have heard that they are going to be phasing out part-time employees, but might grandfather some people in depending on the shift they work.
8000-9000 a month and it is so worth it. I do work a weekend day though.

Were the 2 days weekend days? sm
They expect everyone to work a weekend day. Their definition of team player is to actually work 6 or 7 days a week. One might consider it if the pay was there & she gave out some decent work. It is the ideal place to work if you are a workaholic with no life.
It's the weekend. Give them a couple of days. nm
s
None, unless you work both weekend days on the night shift. nm

Every month it's the same. Grab all the work on the last days of the pp and
It's very annoying.
IS THE INSURANCE REALLY ALMOST $400 A MONTH
for single coverage?? If it's that, I'm afraid I don't want to know what family coverage is. Please confirm
The new KS insurance is only $250 a month. That's MUCH lower. sm
It took them over a year to get a decent rate.
You should try to go back if you miss it. I did and am glad I did and grateful they took me back. The grass was definitely not greener on the TT side.
Can anyone working at MD-IT please tell me how much you pay for insurance per month?

I have excellent health insurance through them and it is only $185 per month. sm
A lot of companies do not have PTO so I am glad that I have it, although I had to wait a year for it. When I worked in another field, I had to wait a year, so I do not think it is that unusual. I wish we had dental but I am glad that we have 401k, health and life. Like with any company ... get it in writing and then you will not have two different stories.
It is $400 a month, but they pay half. It is good insurance, too. sm
I recently had surgery and my only costs were my deductible. The hospital split that $1000 into 10 months for me, so it was not so bad, and now the rest of the year, I am past my deductible. It is a LOT better than the insurance I had with Spheris.
Can a Diskriter MT tell me when health benefits begin (90 days, 1st full month)?

90 days for insurance
I just started with KS and am sure it is 90 days before your insurance kicks in. I just looked through the paperwork I have though and I see nothing in writing to back up my memory. I'm still trying to decide if I want to do COBRA or chance it for 3 months. I have my meds all stocked up to last (did the 90-day mail order).
insurance in under 90 days?
any companies out there starting health benefits for FTEs earlier than 90 days? i know some were 30 a while back, but can't recall now. thanks in advance!
I was told the new one will be less than $200/month. My husband's insurance is horrible and $800
nm
$600 a month for family?? Yikes.. better pass. I need better insurance than that. Thanks
Which co has insurance that kicks in after 30 days?
I can't remember.
I believe it's 90 days...I got my insurance benefits (sm)
after 90 days.
AXOLOTL, insurance after 30 days
Axolotl offers their insurance after 30 days. It also very affordable and the coverage is good.
Anyone pay less than $800 a month for family insurance?? I work for a small MTSO
and it's not like I make a ton anyway, but the insurance is so high for my family. I feel like I'm just working for the insurance. My husband is self-employed so he obviously doesnt have insurance through his job to provide this so it is up to me and I'm dying here. Any suggestions? We have tried individual plans but it is a fortune for high deductible and yucky coverage. I need to maybe find a larger company to work for where the benefits are a little better.
It stops at the end of the month you quit. Shop around though, I found insurance
for $193 a month for me and the kids. Limit is 2 doctor visits each for a year, but since it is only temporary that is fine, lots cheaper than Cobra which was doing to cost me over $800
Good & bad posts in the past. Must work 1 Sat. a month. Supposed to be gross line pay. Some days

When does the insurance at Precyse kick in? Is it 90 days? nm

Most places insurance kicks in after 90 days (nm)

Axolotl's insurance starts in 30 days
Cost for family is less than $300 for medical, dental and vision with good coverage.
Maybe is it for a particular account. I work M-F. You are required to work one weekend an month.

Can anyone tell me the insurance cost for Amphion per month or pay period? I am a single mother
with 2 children under age 10. I know you can't give me the exact amount, but anything you can tell me would be great! I have asked the recruiter but have not heard back as of yet and weighing my options. TIA!!
You have to wait 90 days to quality for insurance and the other benefits. sm
There are 3 different plans for coverage -- basic, choice, and ultimate, I think -- and you choose which one is right for you. I do not have the paperwork handy, but it seems like good coverage at a reasonable price (single coverage, don't really remember about family), and you can also opt for dental and vision insurance. You are right, though, the premium is deducted every 2 weeks.
After 90 days full time, you are eligible for health insurance, 401k, Aflac, sm
and life insurance. One year for PTO. Direct deposit right away.
I am happy at Keystrokes, and happy with the benefits. The insurance is a little high, but my husband has a union job and it would cost us more to have him carry all of us.
The HappyKeystrokes poster seems to give a lot of misinformation. I have as much work as I can handle, but I do not type 350 lph or whatever amount she/he claims. I average 200 lph, up a little some days, down a little other days, but that depends on the doctors dictating, my motivation for the day, etc. Spring is the worst as I have hayfever and headphones bother my ears right now.
My check is right, is on time and is direct deposited. My taxes withheld are correct and SS has been paid (unlike somewhere else I worked that messed up my SS and did take out for state taxes). My lead is supportive and I think the company cares about their employees. I am happy with Keystrokes and cringe when I see posts like Happy Keystroker writes, which make us all look like Stepford Wives. This is a job, just with a company that I like working for.
I wanted to paint a more realistic picture.
That is what I just said. !0 days PTO, period. That includes vacation, sick days and personal days
They should have paid holidays so that you are paid if you take off. Also should inculde extra hours for sick days and personal days.
That annual raise of .002 is kind of a joke especially when at the same time they upped the minimum line requirement from 10,000 lines to 12,000 lines.
OSi just does not have the qualified people in management positions that I wish to work for.
I am glad that you are happy at OSi and all is working out for you. Their dishonesty and the way they treat people just does not work for me.
Of course they can get by cheaply by hiring unqualified people so that is very good for the owners.
A 3-day weekend every weekend? Wouldn't that be nice. Good luck with that!..nm

I was told several new accts are coming on this month and also next month, so
I'm not worrying.
Pay period goes from 1st of the month to the 15th, then 16th to the end of the month. sm
So, I guess you could maybe get by with less than 1000 a day, although the incentive tier would make it worth your while to do a bit more. I am using ExText, and yes, I find it easy to use, but then I used it for a year with another company. I think their other platform is Mongoose, and I know nothing about that, so really cannot say.
Yes, they are hiring now. In fact, there is a $500 sign-on bonus. I think it is all just acute care. I'm sure they would love to have someone with your experience. Rhonda Durham is the recruiter. I am sure she could answer any of your questions. I am happy to help too, if I can, but I am relatively new. The account I am working on is mostly psych, it seems, and I am loving it.
Another nice thing, their benefits start after 60 days, not 90 like most.
Good luck to you. 
You bill 30 days behind, and they snail mail it so it's late - about 40 days from invoice
No way jose - they even messed up their direct deposit payments
TransHealth starts 1st day of month after month SM
you start, BC/BS, good rate on single, don't know about family premium.
Last month was slow on my account..but this month (sm)
we've been swamped...
Maybe she/he works 14 hour days/7 days a week? nm

401k funds are protected by govt insurance similar to the insurance
that banks have (FDIC). It is safe even if the company goes under.
The insurance cost is double for Transcend but insurance probably doesn't factor in for her.
I have heard more good things about Axolotl than Transcend, although it seems Axolotl may be less flexible with your schedule and someone told me that QA was pretty strict, which should not matter either if you have worked for a hospital and know what your QA score is.
Would that be 5 business days or 5 regular days?
So when are we going to be paid this time around since you're so knowledgable?
Sorry, but for some of us a day or 2 actually makes a difference.
Most want 20 hours over 5 days, but it could be more, or it could be spread over 4 days. nm

Correction - TH has 5 PTO days 1st year/10 days 2nd yr

Axolotl within 30 days. Transolutions in 60 days. NM

It is true. Any job has its good days and bad days.
Perhaps you'd like to just keep your old job and try this one out. Just because a poster here is crabbing about it, or even if as in the past there have been negative posts, odds are that there are very happy people who don't even post or know that this board exists. As Alice says. Everything is relative. The fact that this company is hiring and pays may be a place which is a blessing. As opposed to digging ditches on day labor for example. Or somebody might prefer digging ditches. This is just an example. Sometimes we who are employable, even though we don't make as much as we used to in this business, or as much as we would like to, we still if working at home do not pay for gas to go to work, career clothes, deal with office politics, have to look at a boss who writes us up if we are a minute late, etcetera. I don't make half as much as I used to, but I don't send my 3 children to day care which by the way saves us money. SO I remind my husband I am worth that in addition to my salary if I had a job outside. No job is perfect. I am not even sure if Focus is any good or not, I have not worked there. But if one poster says there are good days and bad, I say that is the most honest answer you are going to get anywhere, and if you need a job badly, how is it to hurt trying it out, until you know for sure for yourself? THanks for listening. But sometimes this board gets to be a bit much with the agendas of people railing on other people like the OP here who just wanted all opinions instead of just one side. Balance is always great. And, if things seem lop-sided, then it is a good thing to seek out both sides. IMHO.
I think they would. Those are good days for 10-hour days. sm
I have a set schedule but it is Tues-Sat and it works well for me. It wouldn't hurt to ask!
90 days is correct. 3 days off 1st year, 10 during 2nd.
