Great pay rate on a 55 ccl, great lady to work for and work is not tough. sm
It is all IC work, although you still are expected to give a schedule if you are doing stat coverage. Only major drawback is the big wait for your first check -- almost a month from the time of your first invoice.
Good luck! 
Don't you work for free?
I'd be nice to you too if you were making me all that money for a little info that you should have got in school.
Regardless, it is work done for free.
It's horrible that one would think that we should not get paid for any work/data that is entered by us, whether it be 1 or 10 keystrokes. It is my time and I am not doing it for free.
What do you mean work for free?
Maybe I should specify that when I stated dock I meant QA score being docked. Maybe you were thinking money/pay?? LOL
unless you like to work for free
stay away due to the recruiter and the company as a whole unless you like to work for free...just do a search and you will read plenty of negatives on this shameful company and all of their affiliates.
Yes, if she actually wants work, free or otherwise,
most indeed count, then an MT will have resume, advertisement, whatever free of errors. As someone who did a lot of hiring, I can tell you that if there was even one so-what error, as you say, the resume was passed over. If you can't proofread something as important as a resume or request for work, then it's hard to fathom you will proofread medical reports any better. I hope she took the advice and watches more carefully next time, rather than listen to advice that it doesn't matter.
Exactly. You should never work for free.
Our industry is bad enough for newbies without starting a trend wanting them to work for free....
I would not work for free -
If they are not answering her phone calls, do you think they are going to give her a good refrence anyway? She needs to report them to somebody, post their names here and warn everybody, and not do another report for free! Of course they are going to keep giving her work - they are getting paid.
You are pathetic! I have a great life, loving family, work for a great company.
You might want to fix that.
You really don't have to shout (angry person), but yes you are wrong!!
That is my last word to you!
I will add that getting a great pay check every other Friday from Medware really puts a huge smile on my face.
To the person who wants to work for free
I have been a successful MT for three decades. I suggest that you: 1. Not work for free. People get what they pay for and besides, you are undermining hardworking MTs by this ill-conceived plan. Life is difficult enough for working MTs without being undercut by their own, or at least by a wannabe. 2. You need to learn basic proofreading skills. If you cannot proofread and eliminate the errors from your on-line ad for yourself, how will you proof the work I sub out to you? Why should I trust you with my clients' work? How you proof anything is how you proof everything. Not being critical, just trying to offer a helpful and practical view. Compete honestly in the marketplace, pay your dues, earn your place and don't give away the professionalism you are trying to develop. Good luck to you.
farming out work for free
I totally agree that too many people have been out stealing identities, in fact, it just happened not too long ago at a Michigan hospital that an MT subcontracted her work and stole the patient's SS #s and is now going to be prosecuted along with the person who gave her that work without letting her employer know! She should get a real job who hires newbies and who have QA to check it! There are plenty of adds I have seen on this board offering newbies jobs for lower pay, but stil!
I'm beginning to wonder if that's how he gets his work done for free.
testing MTs. Lol.
Lets all work for free
VR is awesome to fly thru reports and if your good, you could make a great pay check...but the more peeps who take 3 cents, the more the companies who pay compenative rates thin they can get away with it...when i started to do VR i was paid 9 cents a line, 6 yrs ago...now they try telling us 3 cents a line is good....BULL..give us our work back and stop offshore..cuz they get less and like it so it brings our rates down lower
YOG - Lots of work, great office staff, great money. NM

Free enterprise. You are free to re-educate and retrain, as well!!!!
What's the complaint?!
Same thing here with the co. I work for..free time is
ok sometimes but I really want to work!
Isn't it also illegal on both ends to work for FREE?
There are labor laws in the United States, right? I have been an IC and MT, never an MTSO or subcontractor, but my husband has, and when he subbed out work or had temporary workers, he had to file 1099s for them at the end of year, etc. We can't even employ nannies off the books anymore in the USA, right? Second, on reading the OPs follow-up posts, something is way sharky about the OP. Not an innocent newbie at all, by the tone of things. Now he/she is running radio ads? Working getting paid twice what they should be? Whatever on earth that means, and I'm sure none of us are interested. Just a waste of board space, again. In fact, shouldn't this post be removed, since they basically admit they are ADVERTISING for work?? That doesn't stay on Company board and should be removed. Can someone tattle, please?
You are so right and the ones who work for free should be flogged. Everyone deserve to be....
compensated for their time, effort, and dedication and what a slap in their face to get paid 1 cpl, if they are lucky. With this company, they would be hard pressed to get get anything so if nothing is really want they value their worth at, then go for it. I find it almost pathetically sad and any company that does this should be ashamed.
Don't accept job unless you wanna work for free
Your right DIT ONCE was a great company to work for..That was when Donna Dana had ownership in and ran the company..DIT has continued to pass bad checks since about October of 2008. Oh yeah, they say you will get paid..and they do send out replacement checks...but they bounce also...They have changed banks three times...I could go on and on as well as MANY others...There are MANY, MANY emails circulating from employees or former employees about these issues. They are JUST about to get themselves in legal trouble as there are MANY lawyers who have been contacted on this and are working on this issue...It's is a very sad situation for what was once an AWESOME company to work for..

Do they give psychological tests also to allow you to work for them for free? It's
 LMAO!
Apparently, they undercut because they have MTs who work for free and the hospitals had to pay them.
I know people didnt intend on working there for free but it sounds like too many MTs didnt get paid.
of course men don't work for free; and they typically get paid better than women
and they are definitely jerks - all of them - they suck and they know it, and we are not impressed
It's a great company -- lots of work and great pay. sm
Web site is www.mditrans.net. If you need anymore info, feel free to ask.
So you work for free? Typical male response, jerk.

Kinda sounds like you got scammed into doing some free work for them. I'd bail. They are underhan
I wouldn't trust anyone who does business like that.
Free sure. There are free on-line fax
services, in fact I used one last week. Most do have limits on how often you can use and how many pages though. You obviously would have to scan pages into a document, but maybe she doesn't have a scanner either.
She could have mailed paperwork back.
Great people to work for, but I had to leave due to lack of work. Hopefully that has changed. SM
Most of us who do not live in California had to go IC. When I was there, they did not have statutory status, although they told me they did when they hired me. Their pay for VR is VERY low, not a living wage. Many of the folks in the office are ex-YOG and great to work for/with. Good luck.
1200 lines daily is great if you have the work, personally, I never had enough work so
I left and have NEVER been sorry!
Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

Great place to work. LOTs of work and (sm)
as the other poster noted, somewhat flexible. Make your lines and they pretty much leave you be. Communication is great, QA is great. The platform is extremely easy. There's plenty of work to go around and then some.
Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm

10 cpl? That's great. And I'd rather have too much work...sm
than to run out of work. I'd gladly work weekends to make 10 CPL.
It's great you are doing so well. Are you doing all work
nm
I work there now and they are great. sm
Pay is always accurate, on time thru direct deposit. Emdat is a little strange to get used to, but not that bad. I think they'd like 300 lines a day minimum, but you need to check on that. Its 150 LPH required though. Hours are flexible as long as you tell them what you want and stick to it. They are wonderful ladies and I'd never leave if I didn't have to due to tax issues in my state. Give them a try.
And they are GREAT to work for! nm

No, she is GREAT to work for...sm
GREAT dictators, but just not enough work, unfortunately.
Great place to work!
I came to Phoenix after having worked at the 2 large nationals over the past 4 years. I'm SO glad! The do not pay for spaces but the headers/footers more than make up for that. The work is steady, same account (or accounts) and never runs out. The staff are great to work with, helpful and very thoughtful. Great place to work!
Great company to work for...
Spheris is a terrific company to work for. They NEVER run out of work. They are extremely helpful. You use their computer set up. Direct deposit. Shifts you want. Need I say more? Oh, yes, the people there are terrific.
Ex-Spheris employee - hope to go back some day.
GREAT company to work for.
Hi, I have been an employee with them for almost one year. I have NEVER had a late pay day, it is always on time. The work is plentiful. In fact, for several months they have been BEGGING for extra help to stay in the TAT. They do have some difficult accounts, many that are ESL dictators, but once you get them - you get them - and they become like second nature to you. They have employee status if you make a certain amount of lines every two weeks or you can be IC. They are very thoughtful and nice people. I don't believe they offshore, not 100% sure though. I am happy to have found my home after two other internet company let-downs. Hope this help. But, really, you cannot go wrong with FutureNet. And, their platform is the best! Easy to work without putting in a lot of time for the demographics, etc.
Great place to work
Wonderful people, great software, sound quality excellent, benefits affordable, don't really noticed the ESLs, maybe because I'm used to them, or maybe depends on the account. Pay average.
Great company to work for!
I have worked for them for over six years and they are a wonderful organization to work for - very friendly, excellent benefits and pay, and flexible schedules. You are paid every two weeks on time, like clockwork. I would highly recommend them!
They are a great group to work with and
if you are a good MT, very accommodating. Good Luck!
anyone else think this is a great company to work for?
From what i can see on the previous discussions, this is a great company to work for sounds like. Does anyone working for them right now think so?
Both are great companies to work for.
xx
Great company to work for. nm

great company to work for
They do not provide equipment but Dell has excellent deals going on plus financing. You can get a pedal for around $50. Line rates vary dependent upon shift plus bonus quarterly.
The people are great to work with
and the pay is good and on time. I do find the work isn't as steady as I'd like though, but hey, that's the MT business, right?
Great if you like to work weekends
with no chance of getting time off - seems once you are in a schedule that is where they keep you.
They are a great company to work for. sm
Pay is good and ALWAYS on time. Have been with them for 1-1/2-years and NEVER has it been late or wrong. They have heavy ESL load but for the most part they are good dictators with the exception of a few, just like anywhere else though. Their QA is okay - one or two are not that nice but for the most part QA is good. Workflow people are great! Supervisors are great! Had, months back, problems with work running out but not it is fine and has been. Overall rating: GREAT company!
Great company to work for
I've been there close to a year. Some of my acct's have a lot of ESL (but they are not bad) and some don't. Support is good. ExText is a good platform. It took me awhile to get my lines, but after a few months, I got in the groove. Works with Shorthand. Don't know their pay range. I've heard different things. They recently changed their incentive schedule, and it is a lot easier to attain. New accounts coming on board soon.
