people certainly having known for a long time that this was coming. I guess they figure a lot of people would not feel like switching companies so they screwed them also now they either become an employee or look again.

any companies still hiring statutory employees? nm

Oh for sure employees, but not too often for statutory employees. Sorry for confusion.

statutory employees
I have been with MQ since 1983 when they were still Transcriptions Limited (the good old days). I don't know what they are doing and I wish I knew. I am part-time 5000 lines a pay period but it only takes me two hours to do 500 lines so that works fine with me. I am on disability and only work enough to supplement by SS. Plus I cannot sit more than two hours at a time so it works out fine. If they come up with this 4 hour minimum then I am in a heap of trouble.
I had someone from corporate call today to ask if I had gotten that letter about the new program. At the time I told him no, but I think I did I just can't find it. I have just gotten out of the hospital after a 12 day stay and can't even get my mind together to figure it out.
I don't like the sound of things but we will know in October according to this guy who called.
statutory employees
I was told today that we would know in October.
No, everybody there are statutory employees (SE) - nm

former statutory employees can....sm
As I know it, if you were an SE and taxes were taken out, you can file for unemployment.....
Statutory employees.

No, I don't think so, since we are Statutory Employees; however, call and ask to be sure. nm

who hires statutory employees -
This has probably been addressed before, but after reading a thread on the main board about IC tax hassles, I am just wondering if anyone hires statutory employees, so I can avoid the extra SE tax. Thanks in advance.
Does MQ have STATUTORY EMPLOYEES anymore under new plan
After I have spent money, time, trying to meet MQ's requisites for
the computer to type on their docuscribe, are they even going to have Statutory Employees?
If you are an employee, don't they provide the computer?
Why didn't they tell me this when I made the 20+ phones calls trying to meet their requirements - why couldn't they have said "we won't have statutory status anymore with the new plan"???????????
I'm just guessing there won't be statutory because nothing is mentioned about it in the letter from Barbato.
Has anyone been called yet about the new pay plan for MQ in regards to statutory employees.
:
You can't compare the two - MDI has only statutory employees and contractors
with no benefits. Transcend has full time employees with benefits. I would not believe everything you hear on this board with regard to pay. I make 8 cents per line with MDI, and I am just hoping I wont get a pay cut for benefits
Anybody know of companies hiring that aren't advertising? nm
Why have they bothered advertising or tried hiring people when they do not have enough
manpower to get it going in an efficient manner. Truly, I hope Shiela is also not the one responsible for doing payroll. That may well be too much on one person. I have worked in offices where doctors were too cheap to hire extra help and just ran us into the ground with so much work until we quit from burn out. It just not the right way to run a business, having one person do everything. I do feel for Shiela but who would want to contact her now and burden her more. BTDT
MDI-MD hires statutory employees, full or part time. sm
Their web site is www.mditrans.com. They pay well, always on time, direct deposit, and genuinely care about their employees. Good luck!
I find that interesting as the CEO
of Transtech headed up an OTC (Overshore Transcription Company) for years. Better hold on tight to your jobs!
Find it interesting that.....
so many MTs have left this company for a lot of the same reasons, but they keep loosing MTs and never seem to be hiring on the job board for the MANY MTs they have lost. Strange.....wonder who is typing all the work for them? Must be sending it somewhere in my eyes. Just my thoughts.
I find it interesting...
We are isolated and I find it interesting the threads where people go back and forth. If you really do not like it here, I'd suggest staying away.
This is a board for venting, sharing experiences with companies, and also sharing life experiences.
It's not such a bad place. If you like mushy mushy lovey lovey try the other boards. What you'll find there though is people not responding at all which tells me that no one has anything nice to say.
I do not frequent the other boards because they are boring. This board has action and truth.
Take it with a grain of salt or move on... CHEERS!
What I find interesting is....
You received an email regarding your resignation and wishing you good luck in your endeavors.
Well, normally when someone reads an email and wishes to respond, they just use the 'reply' option.
Obviously using the 'reply' option on that email would not have worked, because it was to a bogus email address designed to look like yours.
Sounds like somehow the boss knew to create a new email document acknowledging that bogus resignation, because would have never received that 'resignation' acknowledgement email had she just replied to the original email.
I'd get an attorney. I believe you have them by the gonads.
I find this very interesting...
If you go to this site (ftp://ftp.klasresearch.com/klasrpt_MTSO_2007.pdf) and look on page 290 (Win/Loss) you will find the quotes below.
Two questions come to mind: (1) Was this not exactly what the fuss was all about and (2) is this the same Transtech?
We really didn't get to make a selection. Dictaphone offered either Transtech or an MTSO that did work offshore; the second choice wasn't an option on our end.
We did not select TransTech. We went with Dictaphone. We had selected another vendor and shortly after going live it was no longer in use. Dictaphone assigned us to TransTech.
We selected TransTech because they are contracted by Dictaphone.
I find this interesting. I am getting ready to be in the same position. sm
I have only worked from home as an IC but have recently accepted a position, because of health insurance and benefits, as an employee. My thoughts are running scared because I, too, am afraid of the set schedule that I must work. But working as an employee is supposed to be giving me assurity of steady workflow which my old company almost took me to the poor house! I am like you, would give it a month and then compare. Then be tempted to stay with my old job because of it was like a good worn shoe to me. But I liked what the other poster said about give it 3-6 months. Makes sense. And maybe I won't be so hasty.
I hope you make it with the employee position because, even though I don't personally know your circumstance, I know that employee with benefits is much, much more beneficial than just an IC. Good luck!!!!
Hmmm but interesting....will the attorney actually be able to find out WHO is posting?
I thought this board was secure and identities were not revealed????
Does anyone find it interesting how companies want ICs and then give you the schedule you are to
work. I thought by law you are not allowed to set a schedule for an IC. Seems to me they are getting the best of both worlds for a whole lot less because of benefits they are getting out of paying and all the things the government requires.
Here's a Link to an Indian MTSO that you might find interesting

I think we must work for the same company. I find it always interesting how they say how great
the workload looks and people are really working hard when the fact is they have overhired and that is why there is no work. Must be DSG right. They are hiring right now. Cant imagine what they are hiring for. Hopefully not the acounts that are already out of work all the time. I wonder what kind of turnover rate they have there.
I dont think they are hiring right now. nm
:
Do tell. I find it interesting in what some people like and dislike in a company. Could you share
more about your experience...
I dont find it much much lower its about the same 8 and 4 nm
nm
I find it interesting that this owner is constantly exposed as a slow to nonpayer with previous
bankruptcy issues and people still go to work for her.. Things that make you go hmmmm. I mean if this were a single incident with a disgruntled worker I could understand, but when GROVES of people complain, she is still able to recruit people. I do not get that. I personally turned her out because the pay was too low for me, but apparently for some, ANY payment on time or at all would be acceptable. People need to take a stand and quit. When she is unable to fulfill her obligations as she leaves her employees struggling to do, maybe she'd get her stuff together. 
By hiring employees...
Yep. couldnt tell you excited we were to find out why we dont hardly have any work. Obviously, it is
going elsewhere and so are we.
OS: Can't find their job ad. Are they hiring now?

Question for Webmedx Employees--If you find that you have trouble getting 7-8 hours in during--sm
your 12-hour window due to running out of work, are you required to make up those hours outside of your 12-hour window? Will they take away your benefits if you can't get 35-40 hours consistently due to work running out? Thanks!
Companies are hardly offer FT employees any decent benefits so I think is going to be rare to find
them for PT employees. I would love that too, unfortunately, I work too much just to get below average benefits. Best of luck in your search. Honestly, I think the only place you'll find benefits for part-timers is going in-house at a hospital.
Any current info on Med-Scribe? They're hiring and all I can find on here is from 2004. Thx!
.
Find out which accounts they are hiring for. They have some ESL accounts that are extremely
difficult to do. I dont know how many accounts they have altogether but as I say, a few are very difficult and I actually dont have a problem with ESLs but these accounts are almost totally ESL. I dont do them anymore.
I dont cherry pick, never did. I dont do that to my coworkers on my account.
What is the new status. I dont understand what it means. I dont need their benefits nor do I want
them.
I dont know what that means. I am an SE. I dont sit and wait for work I come back in when it is
there so I never had to deal with Amherst when there was no work because I just stopped working and did other things. My feeling is if this doesnt work there are other jobs out there.
I just dont want to hit that extra space if I dont get paid for it, ya know. No message.
nmnmnm
If I cant make QA, dont give me work. Dont dock
x
I didnt get the packet, do we have to take their insurance if we dont need it. I dont want it. Wish
I would have gotten the stupid thing to read.
Well, I know that MTs from my office have quite MQ and they dont post on here but I dont know how
many. I think MTs with MQ may be getting second jobs and just working for 2 different places at the same time which is probably the smart thing to do anymore because MQ will continue with this short TAT and as it spreads throughout other offices people will continually be running out of work especially after going on DQS.
You obviously have the wrong company. If they dont IM you, then you dont have it on..
I smell management. Nothing you said makes sense unless there is another Focus out there.
Sorry if I dont like gutter humor. Also dont like

advertising?
Just curious as to where they are advertising?
That may be but they are advertising. nm
no msg
Not advertising but looks like...
they are taking resumes, doing testing on their web site. I'm tired of going through applying, testing, etc. and then finding out the company is a nightmar so I thought I'd check firrst
Well, they are advertising for a
recruiter so I think they need to get that position filled so they will have someone who will reply to all the job applicants they have. Now, that is just my opinion.
Where are they advertising?
I don't see it anywhere.
Did find a Wright Watson Sten-Tel in Austin if their site isn't old. Find 'em with Google. nm
