Hope you're enjoying those slave wages you're earning.

It does not say ALL. It says employees pay. Just like in a hospital.
My husband is a firefighter and he has to pay. I worked in four hospitals and always had to pay. It does not say how much, just that it is offered but not 100% covered.
I hope you told her supervisor why you left!

When I worked at a hospital we were told
that if stupid mistakes continued from using expanders, we would not be allowed to use them. That is probably the problem, too many mistakes.
They do hire people as hospital employees, but
it's not the great situation it's cracked up to be. The hospital complains about everything possible to the account manager, who gets nervous about losing the account and it's all downhill from there.
It's too bad because it's a great idea in theory. Unfortunately it's human nature to pass the buck and place blame on those at the bottom of the totem pole, so that leaves the nameless faceless MT's on a daily roller coaster of paranoia and hysteria.
Diskriter Florida hospital employees
Would anyone that works for the Florida hospital as a hospital employee through Diskriter care to share their experience? Any info is appreciated, good or bad. Thanks! Have a great and productive day! 
I was told, if you live near hospital, can get better deal with

If the hospital employees know, then the company knows. Keep your mouth shut and get out.

6 cpl - I hope you're talking about
editing, here. You have 4 years' acute care experience and should be making at least 8 cpl. IC should pay more since they don't have to pay benefits. Check the job board out. I'm sure you'll find something.
I just hope you're not back here a (sm)
month from now claiming someone or some company took your money for a newbie chance or internship type situation and it was a scam. If there was a legit company, the post could have just posted without the need for asking for private contact.
Again, that's what we're told s/m
So that's what we're suppose to believe. Perhaps MTs in 2008 might have a better work ethnic if they were assured of having work to do. How many posts have I read where people were complaining that there was no work. So they are suppose to sit and stare at the computer waiting and hoping a job will pop up so they can make a paycheck? AND be thankful that they are thrown a crumb now and then. This is not a reflection on any company but that seems to be the biggest complaint by MTs with all companies. Not surprising to me that MTs these days have a poor work ethnic.
You go, Girl! Hope you're feeling better! nm

Don't understand your post. I hope you're not sm
faulting the MTs who are stuck with dialup because DSL/broadband is not offered in their areas.
I hope I don't get that account you're talking about either.
I am a little scared now.
They're going to treat you the same as all other employees
and you'll not get your way by threatening and stomping your feet. You hold no more weight than the rest of us with them. Just how expensive is it for YOU to type for MQ who is PAYING YOU? LOL
Well, as you said, that's as an IC. I think we're talking about employees. nm

Told by trainer. But you're right
I have to call again. I'll have to get on the phone and call tomorrow morning nice and early. 
It is a big deal when you're not told before
they offer you the position and you accept. Just wanted to give someone a bit of advice who felt, as I do, $189 is a lot to cough up before you've even started your job. Plus the principle of the thing.
Well, I HOPE they're a good place to work...
... since I worked for TRS and thus got acquired by Transcend when TRS did.
Interestingly... when I was job-hunting about 7 months ago, I basically read every entry in the MT Companies section of another forum (M T Chat)looking for companies that got good reviews. Because it got very good reviews there, Transcend was the second-to-last company I applied to, just before TRS. At that time, Transcend was only testing for acute care (my 36 years of clinical in multiple specialties wasn't good enough, I guess) so they told me no thanks. And now they've got me anyway.
I am still reserving judgment because the merger only happened 2 weeks ago; and I am still working on my same accounts, under the same supervisors, on the same platform, so there have been no visible changes as yet....
Sincerely, I do hope you're prepared to work for 8 cpl now
Apparently MDI was one of the companies that paid their experienced MTs pretty well.
With the merge, you'll be making less eventually. If you quit and look for a new job, you'll be making less, way less, than you were making at MDI.
I'm another one who's BTDT, too. I went from making 11 cpl to now making 8 cpl. I tried HARD to find any company, obscure to well known, that will start off more than that. Couldn't find 'em. Probably won't ever go up, either.
Just sayin' that you should be prepared to budget your living costs for the amount of money you'll be missing each month compared to what you were making at MDI. It's awful, I know, been through it. Going to school now to do something else, getting out.
You're shocked and embarrassed that your employees
do a million lines per month? Why, is that bad? Should they be doing more lines, or should you be paying them more per line? Wouldn't using Dragon Naturally Speaking get rid of a few of your employees? It doesn't take nearly as long to edit as it does to type and proof. Do your employees use text expanders? What are you really asking here? The gist of what I'm getting is that you want to make more money.
That's because you're an IC. For employees, NOT flexible. And no work. nm
no msg
Depends on if you're talking about US employees only or
Still at about 12K total including ICs and ILPs.

Deb Garrison, I hope you're reading this board, because I'm coming at you with one hell of a l
I know that there are a lot of you out there who are owed money. Some of you are owed LOTS of money and Deb just spends it on herself. You'll likely NEVER get paid, but together you can all make sure she never runs an MTSO again. But, what needs to happen is ALL MTs screwed out of their paychecks must come together for this to actually happen. You all can email me at flagfootballcoach@gmail.com and we will pull together and bring down the hammer on this woman. She has had too many different businesses, taken people for their hard earned money, and needs to be shut down for good.

Attn: Any Transcend employees or former employees
I have been offered a job with Transcend, but I am not completely sure about it yet and I need some input from you guys. I have read positives and negatives regarding this company but alot of it was pretty old information. Can anyone give me some recent feedback on them? Thanks very much!!!
First for hospital, then outsourced still on same hospital work
and believe it or not, the hospital was so much easier. Had worked at the hospital for 11 years before they outsourced and then worked another 3+ years for the company they outsourced to. What a difference! The company had so many rules and regulations you could hardly keep up with them all, thousands of them, on the same account, mind you. The higher ups would not leave you alone, constant IMs about any and all. I have gotten to the age where I do not need all that and walked the other week. Have scheduled testing with another hospital for this month. Hope I make the cut, love the hospital work 1000 times more than a company.
They have IC and employees, employees get benefits.
Good company. I am very happy there.
Does anyone like it at Precyse? New employees? old employees? nm

So you guys feel you're getting paid what you're worth with VR?
I'm not trying to be snarky. I've never done VR, so I'm trying to understand.
You're happy with your paycheck with VR? Do you find the files to be as bad as the original post implied?
So you're telling me, basically, they're bad news?
They offered me 0.095/line and you know - it sounded too good to be true, but I SWEAR the recruiter told me they do not outsource. Oh brother... I just wish they'd be honest. I really don't know what to do.
Not the OP, but they're supposed to take out all the other taxes as you're an employee with th
s
No, they're not losing money....they're gaining!
If a company charges their clients by the line, I'm sure that line rate does not go down even though the MTs pay does.
ASR pays about 2/3 normal line rate to its MTs. Their ultimate goal is to have the MTs do twice as much work. Therefore, the client is getting their work faster, but paying their normal rate, while corporate gets that money and the MTs get the lower line rate.
Whether the newbies want to realize it or not, MTSOs have not increased MTs' salaries in the past 10 years. They still start out at the same pay as the last century!
This used to be a very lucrative profession. Nowadays, most MTs are considered to be paid at the poverty level. You don't believe me, look it up!
Hey, you're in luck then. They're hiring! (nm)

If you're PT you're required to work
8 of your hours in one weekend day. There's no extra pay for it though.
