I am looking for a good company that pays bi-weekly - fair pay - good platform - decent accounts!

Thanks everyone!

I am in a bit of a financial jam and need a quick fix until I get paid on Nov. 27.  Any ideas?

TIA

EFD in Texas, New England Medical Transcription (NEMT) and a company called On-Call, although neither of these companies have had ads posted recently.  Hope this helps. 

Also, have you ever thought about working for a temp service.  They usually pay weekly.  I don't know where you are located and how many temporary services are in your area, but I think this would be worth a try, considering your circumstance.

Thanks for any info!

I am recently divorced with 2 small children and I am desperately looking for a company that I can work part-time with that pays weekly to help make ends meet.  Does anyone know of a decent company that offers part-time work and weekly pay?  Thanks so much in advance!!!! 

I am leaving my in-house employment and would love any information that can be given to me regarding companies that pay weekly.  I have a done a search, but haven't found any recent information.  I appreciate any help you can offer. 

Thank you!

experienced?

All I see is negative!  Where is the positive or are they the ones that keep quiet to keep their great jobs to themselves (believe me, I'd do the same thing! ) ..... but THROW US A BONE, willya??

thanks!! 

Okay guys call me an idiot for not knowing that Medware has an India division!  Now, I'll risk the flaming yet again.....Can you recommend companies who offer employee status without outsourcing to India?

Good health insurance coverage at a reasonable rate for single person, nice organized people to deal with, paid on time, and the sooner they could put me to work, the better!

Please feel free to email me privately.  My address should be somewhere on this page!

hire people that aren't exactly newbies anymore, but don't have the 3, 5, or 10 years most companies are looking for?  I have been working for about 16 months (SE) as an at home MT for a big national company, but would really like to go elsewhere, either as an SE or an IC.  Any info would be appreciated!

I am looking for a part-time position with a great company, large or small, that does clinic work...specifically ortho and family practice.  Can you either post or send an e-mail w/the name of the company? 

Thanks so much!!!!

I job hopped until I found a great fit.  I knew within 2 weeks at each company what would give me what I wanted.  It took a long time to get past the hype from recruiters, supervisors, etc., but these are my conclusions.

Pay per line is very important, but how is that line determined?  No spaces but pay same as companies who count spaces?  Dump the company.

A smooth platform to work on.  It does no good to have great tech support if you have to use tech support a lot.  It takes a minimum of 10-15 minutes for each call you have to make. That cuts your production by 1/6 to 1/4 during the hour you have the problem.  If you call tech support 4 times a day, that's almost an hour of nonproductive time.  Dump the company.

Mouse clicking.  Learn the keyboard commands and if they do not work, dump the company.  Every time your hands leave the key board to reach for that mouse you have cost yourself a few lines. 

Absolute verbatim -  you will never make enough macros or shortcuts to get a line count.  Dump the company.

Two weeks free work - don't even give them 1 day without pay. Run.

Benefits - good, but not the end of the world. You can get insurance at reasonable rates most of the time, or at least comparable to what you would have to pay at the companies.  Give insurance minimal consideration.  Paid time off?  Same thing.  Paid downtime because of company problems - consider this company- they care about you and are willing to accept responsibility for the problems.

Big Brother watching you all the time?  Run fast. 

E-mails half answered or you get an inappropriate answere?  Run away, you are not important and no one in management will ever listen to you.

No raises?  Forget it unless they offer incentive pay.

No incentive pay?  If no raises forget it.

Have to buy a lot of expensive equipment from them every time they make a change?  Absolutely not!

No direct deposit?  Depends on reliability and how fast a check is replaced, but direct deposit is cheap for employer now, and they should offer overnight delivery if no direct deposit.

It is far cheaper for a company to hire an IC than an employee (self employment tax is one of the big differences) so as an IC you should make more.

Fancy parties and a lot of travel by management to show how much they care?  Why don't they take that money and put it in payroll and pay the MTs a little more per line?

My $0.03 for the day. 

Basing your lack of success in finding a good company over Nov and Dec is starting with your back against the wall.  You probably will hear from some of those companies in the coming months as the work once again flows.

Have someone check over your resume.  There may be something you can do on that end to stand out better with prospective companies.

You have to do your research on your own.  Asking on these boards is inviting thousands to look at the same companies with you.  Look at local area (2 hour radius) first.  Go to yahoo yellow pages and look up transcription companies in your area.  Make phone calls.  My best paying sub account was not something I found online. 

Good luck.

I have been with DSG for over a year.  I have worked for other companies as well.  Every company had their good points and their bad.  I think it is just what you are looking for in a company.  DSG pays on time, their line rate is decent, there is plenty of work (except during the slow times, but everyone goes through those) communication is always open.  I have never had sound issues.  There are good dictators and bad dictators, along with ESL dictators.  Overall, they are decent and the MT Supervisor for DSG is the best I have ever met.

With MDI-MD, you are a statutory employee, meaning they take out FICA, but not your state or federal taxes, and there are no benefits.  You do not have to adhere to a rigid schedule.  You make a commitment for x-number of lines per day and have a 24-hour window in which to do those lines.  Every 2 months you submit a calendar telling them which days you will work.  If I recall correctly 2 weekends are required per month.  There is no extra pay for holidays or weekends, but their pay scale is way above average.  Some accounts are internet accounts, and for some you need a C-phone with unlimited long distance.  They use Bayscribe as a platform, which is very easy to use and has a built-in expander.  The liaisons and QA people are quite pleasant and easy to work with, and Dorothy cares about people.

With TransTech, you are an employee, and you are required to work a scheduled shift, Sunday through Thursday or Tuesday through Sunday, I believe.  However, unlike the poster noted below, there IS flexibility -- all you have to do is email management and let them know you need to make a change that day.   You get abou 3.3-something PTO hours per pay period, which amounts to about 11 days a year, which increases the longer you are there.  They have reasonably priced insurance -- medical, dental, vision -- and have just recently added a 401k plan.  The pay scale is a bit lower, but they have a nice incentive tier that is easy to achieve.  They use ExText as the platform, which is Word-based and very easy to use.  QA and management staff are friendly and supportive, and management seems to truly care about the employees.  Again, it is a great company as well.

Hope this helps!

Good luck!
