Best company I have found, BUT
I hate the ignoring of emails that goes on when they dont want to answer your question or address your concern. Have sent a few nice words to one of the owners, a thank you, a gesture, a comment....no reply ever. Must not speak to the little people. Same with DH. Nice, caring folks usually, then the many unanswered inquiries are troubling. At some point you just drop the issue because it's obvious you're being ignored and they don't want to deal with whatever.... so to pursue it puts one in an awkward position. In the grand scheme of transcription, this is heaven, but what's up with the stonewalling?

I found a company like that as well that
It is from a pool of work, but I do not HAVE to take it, and I do not HAVE to meet a quota. What a wonderful life! And, no they're not hiring... heehee

I have found that company....

after working many years as an IC, I felt I needed more security, such as paid time off, retirement savings, completely affordable health care. It is pretty close to the perfect company for me. I keep to my schedule, I do my work, they leave me alone. What more could I ask for? BTW, it is Axolotl Corp.

so you found a company that sm
doesnt require weekends. If that is what you want, that is great. I also don't work weekends after 32 years of this. My point is the OP has an attitude that NO MT should have to work weekends when the MTSO obviously requires it. Just because she/or yourself for that matter, doesn't think an MTSO needs/requires weekend workers, doesn't mean that some MTSO contracts dont' require it.

I get so tired of hearing about MTs who demand certain hours, certain days, gotta have their pick of the work, line quota, etc but never want to bend at all. The job is not about the MT but about the patients. Seems to me lots of MTs have forgotten that behind all of this are patients.

If an MTSO requires weekend work and one MT doesn't want to work weekends, there are 10 that will take the place of the one. I just hate hearing the whining by the MTs who won't bend at all when the work is low and they need the money. Its obvious to me that the OP has never had to support a family totally on an MT salary. It can be done but not by a whiny MT who wants their cake and eat it too! After 35 years, you should know that.

Just found out my company offshores,

Company found way to handle TAT. SM

After 5 pm, they are dumping out whatever reports are in editors ques and sending them out to MTs, but just certain MTs who have high ratings and are not allowed to leave any blanks. Sounds like a great idea, except if one is the MT who gets stuck with all the junk, one right after the other.

This isn't VR either.

Can you share what small company you found (sm)
that offers benefits (even if it is more costly). It seems that all I have talked to don't offer any and I can't afford to go without health insurance. Thank you so much in advance.

I agree...I found this company to be very back and forth...
when there is work, everything is great...but when there is no work and you want more, somehow they can't come up with any and make excuses as to the lack of work, et cetera...I moved on and am happy I did...

I know people who are happy there so to each their own, this is just my own experience...good luck!!!

Awesome! I am glad to have found this company.

I am no longer working there. I had enough of their crap. I found a much better company

I found it, bottom page 2 Company board

I found it hard to believe there was another company so close in spelling myself.

Former DRC/Acusis MTs - Have you found a company as nice to work for (sm)
as DRC with good software, pay, benefits, etc? Looks like REALLY good MTSO are few and far between.

Haven't found a great place yet . . ., was with last company three years.
Just new this internet thing.

Canada MT
Well, there is nothing I can do about what line rate is offered here in Canada. I have chosen this career so have to take the good with the bad. And, depending on how many lines you can type in an hour depends on how much you will make per hour - With the amount of lines that I can type in an hour, it works out to pretty average - and almost triple what I used to get paid when I worked in-office, so pretty pleased.

PCDI Canada
Has anyone used or know anything about this company and the MT course they offer? Am try to find out how legit they are for a friend. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! =)

Spheris for one. They have accounts in Canada as well.
dd

Spheris has both MTs and accounts in Canada.
dd

Canada has MT union lowest pay $23 hr

Wow 7 cents and then also the exchange rate, I forget what my MT email friend said it was. Gad you are making zip per hour. Glad you are happy with it. Not me. My friend has some of her own accounts and charges $20 and hour.

Oh well, guess you are happy. She is unhappy with %20 an hour.

Does anyone have any info on Terra Nova in Canada?? TIA
nm

Amen. Look at Canada/Sweden/England who have UHC. sm
A patient has to wait literally months to get a simple doctor's appointment. In the news just yesterday was a lawsuit in England where a patient died of breast cancer waiting to get an appointment with an oncologist. That is why Florida sees an influx of Canadians every winter; they save all of the routine healthcare workups for once a year, go to Florida, and get their healthcare taken care of.

Universal healthcare is not free. We will pay for it with increased taxes and pay for it DEARLY.

Terra Nova is located in Canada....

Evoluz Inc. hiring transcriptionist in Canada
Evoluz Inc. is a Toronto (Canada) based transcription company and they have been hiring currently. My friend currently works for them from home and she is quite happy. They also provide interview and business transcription.

it may be located in Canada. See web link inside. SM
again, I'm not sure if this is the correct one you are looking for. I know nothing about this company however.

It's a good thing we don't live in Canada then
as my hubby was 64 when he had his 2 heart attacks and CABG last fall. He was lucky to have survived it as it was!

I think these guys are based on Ontario, Canada. nm

Unions in Canada, MTs make $23 hour plus Yep
I communicate with an MT in Canada and that is what she relayed.

Just curious -- did getting paid from Canada mess up your taxes in any way? sm

I have a friend in Toronto, and we were talking about me trying to do some work for them (they pay 18 cents per line!) but wasn't sure how complicated it would be taxwise.

Thanks.

Spheris Canada...Applied on line per instructions but problems with template...

After completing page 1 it flips to page 2 and asks you for to choose a State...obviously I'm in Canada (for which page 1 had that option). I am hoping this did not screw up my application.

I am very experienced so I am sure they would contact me...Checked out their web site and there is only a general inq # to call.

Is anyone working with the Canada (Ontario) Division...is it all through US head office....any insight ?

thanks for the heads up

Thanx 4 the heads up...

man, thanks for the heads up

TT heads-up
Make sure they let you do ops. If you have to do ESL Discharge Summaries all day long, you won't make your line count.

Wow, thanks for the heads' up! nm

Just a heads up - FYI

I see Breitner is looking for MTs. This company does not pay on time, pays the incorrect amount, and the first check you recieve is 6 weeks after you start (wrong amt)! Also, the transcription manger has NEVER done transcription and has no clue what to do if any issues arise.

I cannot believe companies like this still exist. They have a horrific track record.

I know there are a couple of you out there that will defend them - and they love people like you. When they say jump - you say how high.

Thanks to both of you for heads up..nm

thanks for the heads-up.
I decided not to go with them after all.

Thanks for the heads up!
They sent me an e-mail to do this long testing and I will refuse. Why spend half of my day testing for a company that does not treat their employees good. Thanks for the heads up! I will pass....

just a heads up
I don't know how they are handling new hires, but a lot of us are getting multiple accounts which requires reading multiple client profiles. The concept of having a primary account is becoming extinct.

Maybe they are setting up new hires on primary accounts that are abundant in work, but there is the possibility that work may be funneled into your pool from all over the country.

This is MedQuist's way of solving the problem of MTs being out of work. However, those of us who never ran out of work now have lost our primaries to MTs who did run out of work.

So, the good thing is you will probably never run out of work...

I have been with MQ for 10 years and and currently phasing them out of my future career, as many of us oldies are doing.

The platform is great. No pay for headers.

Good luck!

Thank you for the heads up. n/m

Thanks for the heads up!

I'm just so darned frustrated, demeaned, etc., etc., Good Lord, I've been in this biz since IBM Selectrics for God's sake, and my income is going backwards! I want to throw rocks at my hubby because he works for a major aerospace company, works virtual office, and sits in the recliner and attends meetings. Yes...he's put in his 30 years and his income and retirement attitude reflect that. But what the HECK!!!! I've been doing this for 30 years, work crazy hours, 12, 15 a day, 7 days a week and all I get is a decreasing paycheck, frustration, aching bones and muscles, never eat, never get out of my jammies, never go outside. Geeeezzzzeee. Did I take wrong career path 30 years ago or WHAT???!!!!

But...I must dutifully get off this site and go do the first half of my 12 midnight to 4 a.m. shift, and watch my hubby sleep. hummmmmm. It sucks, but I'm too freaking old to start all over. Thanks guys. I really appreciate your input, and appreciate the commradorie of the handful that stick together here. Have a blessed, restful night.

Thanks for the heads up
Don't want to waste my time or energy on someone who is disorganized and untrustworthy. Oh well, she will end up digging her own hole.

Thanks for the heads up
I'll steer clear. I really wouldn't consider working for a service in the southern US anyway. While there may be a few good ones I don't know about (but I doubt it), the ones I have had experience with are extremely low-paying and try to micromanage their employees/ICs. Only when I have worked for a southern-based service have I ever had unsolicited and unwanted fundamentalist religious e-mails crammed down my throat ad nauseum by the biggest hypocrites on the face of the planet.

THANKS for the heads up!
Un-friggin-believable.

If they don't think there is anything wrong with what they are doing, why the deceit? I would NEVER work for a company such as this!

Thanks for the heads up!

Heads up every body! sm
I thought this was rather interesting. A while back I posted about working a short time for a company and then leaving because I wasn't happy with the platform and got a better offer. Anyway, I was not paid for my work and about a month had gone by, so I posted here asking for help and was given a few good places to start. I recently received an e-mail from said business with a copy of my post from this board, basically Ha!, we caught you. However, I did receive my pay 3 days later. So, for anyone who doesn't think companies take time to read these boards, think again. I never imagined transcription company owners would have time to sit around reading posts on MT boards.

well that won't work for me. thank you for the heads up.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll do that
