It would not cost them their jobs. They are just lying through their teeth. Get real, please.

How was your acct at Amphion? I have a HORRIBLE acct...
I am new to Amphion and have this account that has a lot of account specifics, no automatic ADT (which means I have to search for the names, etc) which is not a problem for me, but there is one dictator who is ALWAYS awful, and I have been getting him back to back to back my first week with Amphion. Did you find that you basically only had 1 or 2 dictators while there or did you have more? Of course, I would not mind doing him occasionally but can't do this all day. I will never be able to make any money, especially at the line rate that I am being paid. I have 2 children of my own and 3 of my sister's children in my care. I cannot afford to do this everyday and don't know what to do. I work as an IC for another company making 9 cents a line, which is much more than Amphion, but really wanted employee status so was willing to make a little less, but I am afraid it is not going to work. I do not want to have to find yet another company and start all over with them to only find out that they suck too. Any suggestions?
I actually have two real jobs with real benefits. sm
One is SoftScript at 10.5 cents a line, taxes taken out and PTO, insurance, the whole ball of wax. The other is a hospital work at home job, same scenario. They are out there.
Re: Geesh
Just be happy it is not your name being dragged through the mud. At least one person is happy on this website. Lots of negativity on here.
Geesh, I'm a dip. lol It should just say...
I took the test this weekend. I couldn't remember whether I took it Friday or Saturday. Duh. It's been a long day!
geesh 100% correct here
Great post--sad but so true!
geesh! Liked their platform.

geesh, maybe they can't keep people-ever think of that?
You are such an angry and defensive person. What? You didn't make your minimum line count today?
Geesh - typo. sm
Geesh. I'm sorry. That should have been 'was notorious.' I just had to have my kids' pet mouse euthanized, so I'm a bit frazzled right now. 
Geesh, it was a joke. Just trying to give the OP a

Is it really coming to .08 w/o spaces AND quick TAT? geesh...
Isn't that called "stat"? What happened to getting paid more for quick TAT?
Well, geesh... I guess since I am psychic too I should be able to figure out who that would be..
Some people.. who better to ask than the employees of MDI. I think they would know if they are IC or employees.
oh boy.. I'm gifted, how about "hear" not "here".. geesh.. need a nap
nm
Geesh. They just emailed me tell me that I hadn't taken the test yet..duh
Totally ignored the content of my e-mail asking for details. Well, this at least gave me a second chance to ask. Maybe now they will share the line rate with me. Who knows? I am certainly not holding my breath.
About about paying a "fortune'.. geesh.. time for a nap
Why is it that there is always someone that has to be nasty. Every company, every opinion. Geesh.
xx
Geesh..It's been a long day. I don't think I made any sense on that post.
Bottom line is, best pay rate out there, most of the time enough work and good benefits. They have a lot of happy employees.
Are you kidding?? You don't get paid for 45 days. Geesh, I wonder if your creditors would wait
that longer to get paid...probably not. You go over 30 days and they start hounding you. I definitely would never do a job that took that long to get paid.
geesh, I thought the main board hosted the nasty trolls

No cost here either

cost...
For medical and dental it is around $85 biweekly. SGS is also the only company I know of that allows contractors to have medical and dental, around $110 biweekly, as long as you meet 9600 lines minimum biweekly, which is pretty low these days.
how much did YOU cost THEM?
If the FOB belongs to the hospital, why in this world would you not want to do the right thing and send it back even if it means going out of your way (although it is crystal clear here that this would be against your nature) to do right by the hospital?
I could never, ever do something that could cause an MTSO to lose a client and if you chose to follow the road you are on that is what could happen. It doesn't belong to you. It has security codes on it. The hospital is upset. The MTSO is upset. You are upset. Crimy!! God save the MT profession from crabby, nothing-better-to-do-with-their time old timers like you!!!!!!
Do you think that you are so special that you were the only one who lost money on trying to get you started up? People in the hospital were helping. People at the MTSO were helping. You were sitting around waiting, not helping and you continue not to help.
Send it back all ready and be done with it!!!!!!
Doesn't cost the MT anything, though from my
experience you can do as good, if not better on your own. They actually contacted me (probably from my resume posted on a couple of job boards) and I tried them thinking that maybe they had companies that didn't advertise and that probably paid well considering they were using a third party company to hire/screen, but the company they referred me to was one that frequently advertises here and the pay was average.
IMO, the COST of being a CMT (attending sm
seminars, etc., to get the required credits) was very high and far outweighed any extra pay offered, to say nothing of the time spent on it. I find that just being a really good MT will get the same pay rate. When I was a CMT, I was living and breathing MT. All vacation time and Saturday mornings were spent getting credits. The rest of the time I was working. I have a life now.
How about the phone cost? I went
to their website, and it says that some accounts have a 1-800 # and others are long distance but that they reimburse what they consider a fair amount or something along that order. Does anyone know how that works? Otherwise, they sound really good!!! If anyone has any info regarding the phone stuff, I'd love to know!!! Thanks.
Nonmember cost is $275. nm

Insurance cost
It all depends on where you live. I am in Florida and pay $450 per month for myself and 2 kids. It is different for other states.
Doesn't it cost...
an individual out-of-pocket to get a background check? I mean, if one is looking for a job, chances are he/she is broke and does not have the money to pay for such paperwork, not to mention the fact of how much it costs in gas to run all over the place.
The reason I know this is because my son just got a job at a local restaurant as a chef. In South Carolina some jobs require a background check, but the potential employee has to pay for this as well as run all over creation requesting records from the Highway Department as well as City and County law enforcement offices. It's time consuming and costly.
I wouldn't mind the background check if it came out of the potential employer's pocket (which they can write off anyway) and if they did all the leg work. I wonder if this sort of thing can be done online?
Cost of Insurance @ KS
Can you tell me how long it takes to be covered under their insurance plan and how much it is for individual coverage? I had read earlier it was very expensive but they were working on it.
TIA
About how much does Aflac cost per pay?

I agree. It should not cost you to
Maybe, just maybe, since working remotely, you may need to purchase a stamp. Now employee is different than IC, I think too. An IC can write off that expense of a fax machine whereas an employee cannot. So, we need to differentiate. I don't feel the OP is complaining. I think she has a point. These companies assume because we are remote that we have all of the modalities that they have being a national or large MTSO. 
It doesn't cost anything so I would try.
All they can do is turn you down, but then again they might hire you.
If you are IC and pay for your insurance, that cost

They use them to reduce the cost of
transcription, not just third shift work, and not just when they need help. We can have no work and you can be sure they are still sending the easy jobs to the low life trash from India just so they can make more money for the big wigs at the company. Face it, Transcend does not care a hoot about you. They can mouth the words we care, but it is just like any other politician. You are a fool if you fall for the lies.
VR is not cost effective for MTs
I agreed to a certain amount for standard transcription and a certain amount for editing. You need twice the amount of minutes for editing to make what you need but the minutes aren't there. In any event, it is not worth it. I say look for another MT job that doesn't use VR or find another profession.
Ultra low cost
This is disgusting, but unfortunately there will be someone who will apply. This is why we're working for peatnuts.
You either need a job to fit your cost of living or a cost of living to fit your job. sm
While I agree that you cannot live in California on $35,000 a year, no one is forcing you to live in California. Suze Orman says either find a way to lower your expenses or find a way to earn more money. It's common sense :)
There was a post a few weeks ago about not everyone being cut out to be an MT. I agree.
The original poster needs to stop whining and either get a job that pays more or get a new career. She can make $15,000 on minimum wage at a mall or Walmart.
BTW, it was insulting of her to say that MOST woman don't need to work. How dare she? In this day and age, most adults need to work. This is not 1958, this is 2008. I am not a bra burner, but my husband and I both make similar money, clean the house, cook, raise our 3 children. I am just lucky to have a job where I can work from home. I hated commuting anywhere, hate traffic, no patience.
But that doesn't mean that I work less. I treat my job like a job. I work in my home office but I work all day. I do not do laundry, chat with friends, cook. I go to work each day by getting ready as if I were leaving for an office, pour my coffee, make sure I have everything I need and start. I take bathroom breaks and a lunch break and take the full hour that I would somewhere else. I work 8 full hours as I do not include my lunch hour, so my day is 8 to 5. When I am done for the day, I turn everything off, leave the room and close the door, as if I were in an outside office.
My husband has a salary of $71,000 and I make near the same as him each year. I do not work overtime except very rarely, an occasional Saturday here and there, just like if I were on salary in another profession.
I am not perfect, but I love my job and do it well. I also know that MT'ing is not for everyone, although it seems as if a lot of MT's who are not very good at their jobs have a sense of entitlement.
Insurance cost
Geesh.... I thought mine was high. Are you paying for family coverage or just you and spouse? And if you don'the mind my asking who you work for. You may replay by my email if you'd rather do that. I appreciate your reply. I will definitely not be looking into Acusis or All Type! Webmedx is a good company other than I thought their insurance was awful high. Up until last summer we had insurance through my husband's company, which was very reasonable as it was a large company, but they went out of business so he is now without a job and it's up to me to carry the coverage.
To offset the cost of
providing your own insurance, paying the extra half of the Social Security, having no sick days or PTO, etc., you have to make I believe at least a couple of cents more per line. If you could find a 'true' IC position that let you set your own schedule & paid enough extra per line, it might be worth it. Otherwise, I'd really recommend going with employee status...
cost comparisons - IC vs SE
There's no actual formula you can follow, because there are too many variables. How much do you withhold for taxes? (i.e. TN doesn't have a state income tax). Do you need to pay for health insurance, and how much? Do you need a phone line with/without unlimited long distance? Do you have minimal office costs (just a headset for voice files or would you need to buy another C-phone if the one you had died)? Do you want perks (i.e. paid sick time)? And so forth.
In a nutshell, you don't want your net pay to be different either way. In other words, if you net pay as an employee/statutory employee is $20,000 for a 40-hour week, make certain that after all of your deductions you are not making less.
P.S. ShortCuts is provided at no cost ...sm
to Transcend employees and is provided prior to their account moving over to editing.
Variables in cost of living
Some states sound good, but then check out the taxes - real estate tax, personal property tax, sales tax, cost of heating/cooling, transportation, license plates, insurance, etc. A lot of it balances out in the end. Some states have outrageous license plate fees, (I paid over $600 for my car last year). I also get a personal property tax bill each year for everything including my dishes and silverware. State income tax is out of sight. Cost of heating in winter is unbelievable. I have to have 2 sets of tires for the car, 1 for winter, 1 for summer. I have to have 3 complete wardrobes for the weather changes.
It's the cost of doing business in any industry. They know this, or should. nm

Cost for Transolution's insurance sm
Can you tell me how much it costs the employee for Transolution's health insurance for employee and spouse? What insurance company do they use? Also, is it more if you just work the 32 hours? Thanks

Why would it cost to make a complaint? -sm
