I took the position with Shapin and VERY HAPPY about it.
I make decent money and they do not allow us to zip through. However, they are the nicest people I have ever worked for and I found my place to be so am very happy!
Has anyone worked for Shapin with info? Thanks. nm

Does anyone have any current info on Shapin?
I check past posts, but they are from like a year ago. I was wondering if things have changed for the better. Thank you.
need info on editing position
Does anyone know of any companies hiring for QA/editing position that pays hourly? Thanks very much.
Accepted an IC Position- Looking for Some Info/Help
Hello! I hope I've got this on the right board (if not, please e-mail and advise me of where it would be better posted). I've just accepted a position as an Independent Contractor, and I would like some input on what this really entails as far as deducting taxes and social security. How do you determine what amount to take out, when/how do you pay those taxes? If I was eligible for a tax refund as an employee, will I be eligible for a tax refund as an IC? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Any info on Peachtree? Offered position there
I was offered a position at Peachtree today. Does anyone have any info on this company? Easy to work with or not, pay on time, easy platform, flexible with appointments, etc? Thanks for any and all information, as I couldn't find much in the old posts. Thanks!
Any info on PMT/Pullayup? They had a position posted and just wondering.
nm
Amphion-any recent info. Interested in a position there!
 nm
Nope. No 20hr position. Please don't give wrong info.

The DQS is an IC position and the Dictaphone EXtext is an employee position....
both part time...both making 9.5 cents per line...which is better IC or employee?
Thanks :)
I'm hoping too as I accepted position a position also nm

What specifically...
should I be looking for? Hope this is not some convoluted complex thing that has to be examined with a fine-tooth comb, just want straight out what the pay is and what for, # of characters, spaces, etc. Did you have a problem with what you were paid for? Any help you could give is really appreciated. I'm becoming so discouraged by vague and obscure company communications! It doesn't really seem to benefit a company to not be up front to begin with since they will just end up losing that person, does it? Thank you for your help!!
What are you looking for specifically? nm

What are your needs? Ask more specifically for
If you need 9 cpl, employee status, insurance, and work nights...ask which companies allow that.
Your idea of a good company may not be someone else's.
What specifically are you looking for?

If I were you, I would specifically post
for Busy MT'ing since she right now works for at least 2 nationals. She seems to know every single thing known to man. Try posting specifically to her on the MQ Board.
It's not about Amphion specifically,
my concern is the devaluation of the profession in general and my future in it. I'm looking at an opportunity to make a career change, and would like a smooth transition. I have had no problems with Amphion, and think they're better than many of the alternatives. Again, any info on the exit process would be appreciated. Thanks.
There are many MT companies in FL, some specifically for the
no state tax thing. I know I have to pay taxes and I'm not trying to get out of them, I just don't agree my company HAS to pay them. Sure would be nice if they did though.
What specifically are you wondering about? NM
nm
why specifically are you leaving?
nm
You can ask whatever, but it is specifically related
to company rules, regulations, benefits, etc., best to get it from official sources rather than here.
We are talking specifically about MDI right?
They don't offshore right?
I don't think she meant it to you specifically
I think she was using sarcasm to make a point...
That's the problem with forums, you can't always hear what the person is saying!
:-D
How can anyone specifically tell where the work
comes from?
You might want to ask your STM specifically about low work sm
situations - mine definitely said you can opt to use it or NOT if you are out of work.
MTs should not be penalized for low work situations. You should ask again.
She specifically said we had to request
If we miss work for any reason we are supposed to put in for PTO; then if we make it up by the end of the week we can cancel the PTO request. She specifically mentioned that the only time we have the option of not using PTO and going unpaid is when we have used all our PTO up. She mentioned all this in a blanket email to the whole team right before we started regularly running out of work due to overhiring. How plain does it need to be?
Why in Texas specifically? I would think - SM
labor laws would pretty much encompass the entire US, e.g., minimum wage laws apply in all 50 states, laws regarding overtime pay, etc. The rampant abuse MTSOs have been allowed to get away with affects MTs EVERYWHERE, from sea to shining sea ... MTs in OK, NJ, FL, OR, NC, I could go on and on... all of them have bills to pay, children to feed, and these MTSOs in sheeps clothing likewise lurk in all corners of the country. 
You expressed how I feel, specifically SM
pertaining to longevity and having to give that up. Others in my position are just as unhappy and concerned about the future.
The most distressing thing to me is the lying. I mean, all companies fudge the truth a bit, but the blantant lying that goes on at Spheris is really shocking.
I wake up every day with a knot in my stomach. Would anyone out there care to join me working for Spheris?
The client has to specifically request no
offshoring to not have it sent out. If nothing is said, the Q is able to do what they want with it.
I specifically asked if they required
new QA staff to type on the account first before being allowed to QA. I was told by both companies that this was not required. Then (with both companies) AFTER training, they told me that they DO require new QA to type on the account first. Liars.
post specifically says Domestic MTs

health benefits specifically
Looking for a company (as an employee, F/T) that offers affordable family plan health benefits for less than the $1022 per month I am paying now!
I absolutely love the company I work for, but their benefits are outrageous (small business) and me understanding their plight is not putting food on my table. I have a special needs daughter, so I need actual insurance, NOT a discount plan.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Maybe, but she specifically says no weekends or holidays
Didn't want her to waste her time when I know one day per weekend is a requirement where we work. Figured she was better off with a company that would accommodate her needs.
Oops. I mean to reference the low pay to TTD specifically... NM
Agree. But still hope one would ask specifically
r
Shapin.
They don't know the answers to their own test. No telling what goes on there.
Shapin
I've definitely given up on them. I sent them two emails telling them I couldn't find their test on their site and both times I got an automated message back that said please go to the web site and take our test.
Shapin
This is a very laid back company. You can work FT/PT your choice. No min on line counts. There is only one ESL doc and he is a temporary. TAT is 24 hours, up to 48 on back log. If you need more info email me at MaryC_RI285@msn.com
Shapin..
Hi there,
I do lead QA for Shapin. Feel free to email me with any questions. MaryC_RI285@msn.com
Shapin?
nm
Must have been Shapin, right?
Shapin
I am also a new Editor with Shapin. It seems as though the editors that are no longer here had the company pretty messed up. I am thankful for Laurie giving me the opportunity and mentoring to become a good editor. If there any more good editors out there that are looking for an awesome company to work for, extremely freindly and helpful, apply. We need good editors not crybaby wanna be's.
another ex-Shapin IC
Again, another ex-Shapin employee without a name. If you feel that you were a good employee why are you afraid to post your name? Not surprising I guess. I also am curious as to what you mean by They feed their lies to J, the owner, who believes everything they say. I can tell everyone the facts. Fact number one: People who do their jobs and don't steal from companies KEEP THEIR JOBS. Fact two: Disgruntled ex-employees always yell Foul the loudest because they do not learn from their mistakes, they just go onto the next company and mess that company up too.
I just wish for once, someone would give everyone specifics instead of just generalized comments like unprofessional and lies. And while you are at it, please answer this question....How can you live with yourself knowing that you were stealing from a company by not even doing the job you were paid to do?
Shapin
Hello,
Is there anyone who works for Shapin that could give me some insight as to good or bad? A got a response to a resum I sent and would like some information on how they are to work for before answering.
TIA
Shapin
I applied for the editing position so not sure on the amount for the transcription side.
Shapin
I worked for Shapin for about four months. Don't do it!!! The work load is really bad - hardly any work at all, very low line count, and the pay is miserable. Check into Professional Transcriptions, Inc out of Pensacola, Florida. That's who I work for now and the work load is consistent and the pay is great!
Shapin
Does anyone know if Shapin Medical Transcription still exists?
Our website specifically states we DO NOT pay for spaces
so I don't know who or where you got your information, but we are very honest about it. Sorry for your misunderstanding.
But it is referring mainly to Versions and e.Chart, not specifically sm
what you mentioned in your original post. I hope it works for you. Overall, for me, platform works well and I'm always sorry to see someone (not you) dis the whole company b/c they have individual issues which could be ISP related. Keeping fingers crossed for you.
Thanks for clarifying the information but I got my specifically from someone who works there when I
was searching information on them. She has been there like 4 years and just notes that people did not stay long. Of course, there was no reason listed why they left, and for all anyone knows, it is because of personal reasons. I also pointed out that anything she shared with me about them was not anything awful or that didn't happen at any other company. You will always have companies that are loved or hated by an MT or just neutral. Everyone has a right to their opinion and maybe this person thought they were a high turnover because people would come and then be gone not too long after. Again, you are probably right..maybe they just didn't have what it took.
