and I can see how that can get to be a problem.  I have experienced that before, where an MT will just figure I'll know what it is right away, so why waste HER time looking it up (one actually said that to me - ACK!)

But so far what has worked for me is being downright snobbish about who I have working for me.  Fortunately I worked with several really excellent MTs before I became an MTSO, so once I started getting accounts I hand picked the best of the best.  I pay them well, but I expect them to be so good that really I don't even need to proof their work; I trust them that much.  They will occasionally have a question or ask me to listen to something, but that's pretty rare.

Now when I get to the point that I need more MTs, and I may need to coming up in a month or so as I may be adding a big account, then I am going to run out out of good MTs that I know...so I will be in the same boat.

I think most of the national companies require 98% on quality checks.

One thing you might do is offer an incentive - review their work for a period of time and pay one amount for MTs whose work you don't really have to check, and then a graduated scale from there.  Those whose work has to be gone over with a fine toothed comb shouldn't make as much, as you are spending your valuable time proofing their reports.  Those who are worth their salt will step up to the plate.

and click on either desktop or laptop, on the far right side of the screen is an icon asking if you are looking for XP.  If you click on that, it takes you to a screen offering XP on the same machines that show Vista, and the price looks comparable.  I have not gone any further, as I am not looking yet, but it does look as though XP is offered at a reasonable price through Dell.  If anyone else knows any more, please let me know.  TIA.

the first time you call to place an order, you speak with a pleasant, articulate American, but any call after that goes straight to India?

The last time I called Dell, there was such a communication breakdown that I demanded to speak with an American.

Well, that threw me for a curve when I got the ipay notice, checked it out on ADP's site and it said for DEP adjustment???

I have'nt got the real check yet and did not know a letter was to accompany the check I was not expecting, so what is this for?

Bytescribe web side. I think there is a free one somewhere too. Very easy to use and kind of fun.

Yes, I am in the same situation with the same company.  They informed of my 9 cents rate and weekly pay.   That was two and a half weeks ago.  The work was definitely there and they constantly calling me to work.  I got suspicious the second day when they did not send me a 1099 and no other paperwork besides their MT scope letter which means nothing but what hours can you commit to.  Well, I felt it was too good to be true.  I really like the account too but they wanted to me email every 30 minutes the work so they could cut and paste the work into the system.  I was like how the system know if it was my work etc, etc.  By the grace and mercy of prayer I have a job with benefits now while I was only IC with DocuMed.
