at this point are to stay at home.  This is not the only profession that is advertising this.  Many people telecommute (a nicer term).  Also, the fact that you use the word sucks just shows your maturity level. 

It is really not the business of the client or MTSO (when you are an IC) to know what your personal life is or why you need to not take the jobs offered that day.  It is the client's (or MTSO) problem if they have no one for back-up.  Poor planning on their part does not constitute an emergency on mine.  As an IC, you have a right to accept a job (which could be a voice file or 100 voice files) on any particular day if so desired. 

Please let's be realistic here.  An employee is expected.  An IC should be asked.  Assigned work is for employees not ICs. 

So many here want IC work, and then get upset when it is not there. 

Oh, and there are many productive MTs with children at home even under the age of 5 that love medical as well.  This is a great profession to get into if you want to work from home as well as other professions that allow it.  Let's look in terms of pollution and just plain saving money on whatever it may be, clothes, gas, make-up, etc., etc.  The list goes on and on. 

I've seen everything from special needs children needing their parent at home to grandparents taking care of grandchildren from home because they can MT how they see fit. 

Signed,

Luvin' my stay at home MT life and rearing children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    Ahhh, the best of both worlds!

they have an AcusisIndia website that obviously shows they do.  There is a link on the top of the page to Acusis US.  Now unless they are two companies called Acusis they most certainly do offshore.

They offered me a position a few months before they laid off a bunch of people and I did some investigating them.  I don't remember this website, but I remember reading lots of information about them offshoring.  I have also talked with at least 2 of their MTs and they said that YES THEY DO OFFSHORE. 

The T. will put you on full QA and KEEP YOU THERE (like they say in England, Until her majesty's pleasure becomes known.)

And there is a certain QA queen bee there that loves doing this, bec. it gives her something to do, and let mgmt. justify her job.  The MTs will be unfairly be put on QA for usually a minor, demographic issue, that is the client's responsibility in the first place, and which work is UNPAID WORK to begin with.  But, MTs will put up with it as long as they allow this kind of treatment.

VR advocates DO take into consideration the MT's long-time work experience, skills and knowledge - but to ONLY THEIR OWN advantage.  Else, VR editing would fly offshore (India, Phillies, the moon, wherever) at 1 cpl.  So they NEED highly-skilled US MTs to clean up the crap.

By its very nature, VR technology is designed to save MTSOs having to pay full transcription wages & fool the rest of the world into thinking that we don't deserve full pay since we only clean up while the machine does the actual work. 

I did happen to review a chart of the 50 states and did not run across anything where they required a set weekly amount.  In my state in the NE, to qualify, you must:

1. Have worked a total of at least 20 weeks within the last 56 weeks (year).

2. The total $ amount you earned during the past year is added up and averaged by the number of weeks you worked. (i.e., if you worked for 30 weeks this past year and earned a total of $15,000, you averaged $500 per week). 

3.  This weekly average is divided by 2 ($500 divided by 2 = $250.)

4.  Any week in which you earned $80 or less is thrown out - so as not to unfairly lower your average. (May be $90 or $95 now, as this was taken from 2005 data.)  For example, if you started your job, say, on a Friday and earned $80 for that day, that would not be counted.)

5.  Your weekly benefit amount is roughly $250.00 for 26-39 weeks (depending length of recession).

* They will always use the separation criteria from your LAST job as reason to deny or grant benefits - whether 1 day or 1 year.  For example, you may quit a job after years of employment, then work at a temp for for a week - get laid off of that temp job after that time for lack of work - you're in luck, since they'll use criteria from that last job for your UE claim.

Everybody now knows and they have admitted to outsourcing overseas...so why are they allowed to post of that's the rule of the boards?

They get in a bind??  I don't know, but I get so many emails wagging the finger about how flexing was okay yesterday when the work was low (meaning nonexistant for many of us), but today we are building up, so if you have time to make up, do it now!  And then if 3 days on down the road a bonus comes up, you don't qualify because you don't have your hours/lines in.  So confusing...and somewhat unreasonable when you are a real person with a real family and other comittments besides being chained to your desk for a paycheck!! And please do not bash, I have a total of 6 backup accounts. 

Why is it when someone disagrees they are one of the chosen?  I think this is absurd.  I listened and do follow the rules and when I take my work I do it and then return for more .. the weekend is usually when those who do not follow rules throw their work back and the rules are set up specifically so that you know when you can go and pick any work that is available and not have to worry about preferred and selected and whatever.  After 20+ years in this business I have learned that worrying about what everyone else is doing or has for work has never helped me one iota.  Any service that does clinic work has a slow day and does it not make sense that if practices are closed on weekends that Monday is going to be a slow start with low work volume?  And, for the record, I was promised nothing, asked for the rules and follow them and work my schedule and extra is asked.  I do what is there for me and I don't think of myself as working only for certain dictators.  I do it all.  Some I like better than others but as an IC I understand how the work flow goes and pretty much it is the same from one place to the next. 

Additionally, I have another part-time job to pick up the slack.  A little planning on your part might be in order.  At tax time you would be glad to find it to your favor not to have just one client as an IC.
