As far as I know, in the strict Muslim

countries, to which Saudi Arabia belongs, women are only allowed to work as nurses or teachers.
They want American MTs because they perceive them, rightfully, as the best, and they are ready to pay well for quality.
I see this as compliment. It is not that Muslim men and women regard every foreign women as immoral. They judge and differentiate according to the woman's behavior. If she is decent and virtuous, she is treated with respect.
I can imagine that there are restrictions regarding clothing, food and drinks, and lifestyle in general, but if we decide to live in another continent with a different religion and culture, we have to respect that.

India 12% Muslim
Which is here nor there, but it was radical muslims who recently tried to do a suicide bomb in Scotland. They were from Bangalore, India and one made a blowtorch of himself in Glasgow.
Ramadan = Muslim; India = Hindu

Strict TAT
I think there is work. From my experience, the MTSOs just want the work done within minutes, so they overstaff the accounts to make sure there is never a backlog. Good for them, bad for the MT.
Way too strict about scheduling

Very strict. If you have any question SM
as to whether you can make the minimum, don't even apply. This also goes for when the work is low, they still expect minimum.
Thank you. I DO appreciate it. I do deal with strict QA now...sm
but at least they don't threaten to deduct your paycheck for it.
It sounds like their (Transolutions) QA is a lot tougher now...hmmmm....maybe it's not worth the extra benes...
Thanks again MTMT.
Do you know how strict they are on their required experience? Thanks! nm

When I worked for JLG, it was pretty strict sm
about work schedules. I did not realized they kept track of my time via the ICQ messenger, which I kept turning off because of persistent, numerous, disruptive, and annoying messages from people on the Net I didn't know. I didn't realize this and had to make up for time they claimed I didn't work but actually did. Maybe it's better now.
Are they extremely strict with schedules? nm

They're very strict with their lines sm
You'll get harrassing certified letters and nasty e-mails. You're required to meet your lines by the 3rd payperiod. They get really nasty to you too...they were all sugar sweet and helpful until I stood up for myself, and then their true colors came through.
Unless you're a very fast transcriptionist, it's almost impossible to make your lines. I'm just an average transcriptionist. I have always been able to make my lines at other places of employment, but never at TH. They run out of work A LOT (read--nearly every single day) and have a butt-load of foreign doctors. A really bad combination if you want to make your lines.
Some people love them, but I'm not one 'em! I'm glad they're ancient history with me. I work for a much better company now.
Ugh ...recruiter sent me the info .. seems very strict .. thanks nm

Better read the IRS specs first. There are strict....sm
instructions on whether to call a worker an IC or an employee. An employer can be in big trouble for mandating any specifications of a job if he/she is calling a worker an IC. They are starting to crack down on that, too, especially with companies who have several workers. It's about time, in my opinion, that places get in trouble! If you don't put up with it, it will stop happening.
WEBMEDX - how strict are they with their schedules and clocking in and out? TIA nm
I have to work 8-hour strict schedule SM
Platform is either Chartmatrix or Enterprise, average pay, the company is just average all around. It's not horrible but it also isn't great. Up until 6 months ago I would have recommended to give them a try, but they have started this downhill slide, feels more like Spheris now. I have felt this for the last 6 months. When the job market opens up a bit more I'm going to look around.
Can someone elaborate on the strict conditions of the contract?
The IC contract under which I currently work is very flexible and I've never had a problem with the MTSO except work is a little slow right now so I've got to be VERY flexible to make my lines.
I was considering a few other places to fill in the gap and Fast Chart was one of them.
I'd love more details about how restrictive the contract is and more details about the pay cut you'd be expected to take. Is their salary lower than the other MTSOs?
Thanks for any extra enlightenment you can provide!
While I think it would be difficult to work a very strict schedule at home - sm
I do believe that every MT should have a window in which they are expected to do their work. That benefits everyone involved, the MT, the company, as well as the hospital. I pretty much adhere to the same hours every day, unless something unexpected (emergency situation) comes up. I just think it is easier that way. However, in the summer time, I like to adjust my hours a bit to be able to work in the early a.m. while the kids are still sleeping. I work the same hours over the summer though. Working at home around your family is not easy, so there has to be a little flexibility on both sides. Going to an office to work without your everyday family and life interruptions, I believe, is quite different.
I think the only thing they are strict on is downloading things to the computer. sm
General surfing the web and stuff isn't a problem. I surf the web all the time for medical references, etc... and I haven't ever had a problem. I know that they are strict about not downloading anything to the computer because it may cause a conflict with the software they use.
Hope that helps.
Just curious...how strict is TT about having 5 years' experience before applying? NM

Keystroke radiology - flexible shift or strict?
I have tried searching the archives and found conflicting information. A few posts say you must work an assigned shift but other posts say work when you want. Which is it, or is it both depending on the account?
Strict on the days. It depends on the account as to the flexibility. nm

Does Webmedx has a strict schedule or a window to get work done?
I tried searching boards, but too many entries came up. Thanks
Do any companies allow you to edit the dictation somewhat or are you strict verbatim? First time do

Question about SoftScript. Strict schedule, can you quit when you get your lines? (sm)
I saw a posting before that said you were good to go as long as you signed in on time and did your lines. Is this accurate?
Also, I have seen they are offering 7 cents per line regardless of experience. Is this still true?

Amphion hires part-time - they're very strict schedule-wise though
Since part time is so hard to find these days your options are limited, so if you don't mind working for a company that is a stickler for strict schedule adherence, I say try Amphion.
Good Company, but yes very strict supervisor or mine was anyway! As long as you meet the deadline
you are safe! They were strict when I was with them though
