that y'all went through. I'd be homeless. 
I hope your work flow continues to remain steady. I know how scary that can be when the work dries up. I have gotten so paranoid, I always work 2 and sometimes 3 jobs, just to make sure I am covered. There is not a big enough cushion yet so that I feel comfortable the wolf will not be at my door.
Again, congrats -- I'm sure you are relieved.

Every 2 weeks is twice a month :)

HUH? twice a month IS every 2 weeks nm

So glad I got out of OSi last month...
what a mistake I made! So happy with new company, so nice to be treated like a person!
I left a month ago, and couldn't be happier! They are the pits! Good luck. nm

Call them. Something is not right. I was hired a month ago and started 2 weeks ago. sm
Call Laura or Becky in the office. They are both in tomorrow.
I didn't HEAR of it being over $500 each month..I see it taken out of my check every 2 weeks..(sm
$254 each pay period. I honestly hope you're right that the final paperwork was signed last Friday because I had decided to have it discontinued after the March 15 paycheck and either look on my own or go without coverage for a while until I find a more reasonable plan. The insurance itself is great but too high. I can't imagine how you are paying only $184 per month and I have been paying over $500 since December 2006 for single coverage!
waited some time now
For a response to the questions raised on previous post (page 2 or 3of company forum) regarding how an IC could possibly know when and why another IC left - apparently they have problems paying IC, however they do have ONE happy IC who seems to know when and why others leave - sounds more management faking it to me.
Was wondering if there were more happy IC at this company. I am always looking for a reason to fall off my chair. Maybe if we could get two paychecks in a row that do not bounce - we would be a little bit happier.
my experience also except I waited
for a new account to start. You can set your own hours to work in a 24-hour timeframe, but everyone seems to work at a certain time. So I ended up changing my hours just to get work. I was given a secondary account, but the same thing happened. They are a good company as far as pay being on time and nice people to work for, it just depends on if you get a good account as with any national job.
ROFL! You waited eight months?
That's a long wait. Did you call or email them to follow up? It sounds like they hired someone else that didn't work out, then called you.
They're working on it? You've waited on them for 6
forget them. Unless, of course, you like being strug along.
I used to have a QA guy that couldn't transcribe, couldn't fill in a blank,
but was anal retentive when it came to punctuation. You would have a report with 10 blanks in it because of poor sound quality, and he wouldn't fill in one blank, but he had put commas all throughout your report, or taken apostrophes out, etc. and he wasn't correct in his punctuation a lot of the time. Several of the MTs complained about him and asked to not have him do their QA, so he was demoted from QA to an MT. Well, as I said earlier, he couldn't fill in a blank. I saw a couple of his reports and there was blank after blank in reports that I had no trouble with at all. He also didn't proof his reports because he would have inapproriate/incorrect expansions in them. Not sure if he left on his own, or didn't really have a choice. Anyway, talk to your supervisor. Maybe this person is just on a power trip, knows you are new and wants to train you to do it her way, even if your way isn't incorrect. I think punctuation is a valid issue, but if it doesn't change the integrity of the report and there are no other errors it shouldn't be flagged by QA. You could also take into account her corrections and maybe try to use a few more commas, etc. and that might help.
Oh, I couldn't understand them. I didn't try them all, but the first couple, I couldn't und

took their test and waited for eight months to hear back from then sm
by that time I had two different jobs. No the eight months is NOT A TYPO
My boss waited a year or more a few times. Scary. -nm

I have never heard of that....always waited until regular pay day to receive final check.
Any company I have resigned my position from, I just received my final check like usual on the regular pay date scheduled. No big deal, it was always in my bank when it was supposed to be.
Yes, they offer I think 4 weeks at full pay or 8 weeks at half pay. Call the office
and talk to them about it. You wont lose your job. They aren't like that.
I was told several new accts are coming on this month and also next month, so
I'm not worrying.
Pay period goes from 1st of the month to the 15th, then 16th to the end of the month. sm
So, I guess you could maybe get by with less than 1000 a day, although the incentive tier would make it worth your while to do a bit more. I am using ExText, and yes, I find it easy to use, but then I used it for a year with another company. I think their other platform is Mongoose, and I know nothing about that, so really cannot say.
Yes, they are hiring now. In fact, there is a $500 sign-on bonus. I think it is all just acute care. I'm sure they would love to have someone with your experience. Rhonda Durham is the recruiter. I am sure she could answer any of your questions. I am happy to help too, if I can, but I am relatively new. The account I am working on is mostly psych, it seems, and I am loving it.
Another nice thing, their benefits start after 60 days, not 90 like most.
Good luck to you. 
couldn't -- you couldn't care less
lol
Couldn't...you couldn't care less.

I am so glad, so very glad that finally I have reached
the age that if we are low on work, I just take off. No problem at all and love the extra day or so off. I now have worked since the 70s and finally made to retirement age, get SS plus other retirement money coming in and thank the good Lord do not have to worry about if there is work or not. BTW, when I worked inhouse never ran out of work ever, only when transferring out to company do they run out of work. If I had to raise a family now I would most certainly cross train on other accts at my place but only have 1 that I work on, by choice.
TransHealth starts 1st day of month after month SM
you start, BC/BS, good rate on single, don't know about family premium.
Last month was slow on my account..but this month (sm)
we've been swamped...
The new insurance is very reasonable. I pay $200/month and they pay $200/month. sm
Unfortunately, I have had to use it a lot since it changed and I am very happy. They have covered everything.
The insurance is actually $80 cheaper per month than I paid at the local hospital, which is a large employer.
Thanks! I'm glad to hear that, I didn't think anyone used it anymore! I'm glad to hear so
I'll definitely check them out!
Couldn't Have Said It Better Myself!
You are correct!
Boy, I couldn't have put that better
I hope you find what you're looking for. I'm still looking too. Have 8 W2's to turn in this year.
I already have.... couldn't take it any more. nm

Very good post! Very straight forward and honest. I was a recruiter as well, it can be pretty good money, but as this poster said, you are told what you need to say and a lot of the time given false information about the account you are hiring for. It's a very rewarding job most of the time and I personally met a ton of truly wonderful people, but on the flip side - this is the person who gets nailed the minute something goes wrong whether it from the new employee or the supervisor of the account. Very thankless position. Think twice before wishing to do this.. very high stress. Good luck to you!!
No, no, no - that couldn't have been the SAME
She would never be condescending or disrespectful of MTs. She, herself, is an MT and has the deepest respect for what we do. I think you must have spoken to someone else.

Read carefully and learn.

We GaGirls got it goin'on...very well put, very well said...Thank you for summing up the whole ugly situation.

I couldn't have said that any better myself
I agree. This is an information board. People are supposed to come on here and ask questions about companies. Isn't that the point of this forum??? A lot of information is very outdated and people would like current info about companies before applying with them. Lighten up. If someone asking a simple question irritates you that much, then just ignore the post. This is the exact reason why I don't come on this site nearly as much as I used to. Almost every time I have ever asked a question or posted a response to someone else's question, I just about always had at least one person jump all over me. It's a shame.
LOL - couldn't have said it better myself.
  
couldn't have said it better!
AGREE WITH YOU TOTALLY --- I'm getting tired of eating dirt!!!
I couldn't have said it any better....
I'm just about sick of testing, testing, and more testing and hearing nothing or some cpl offer that isn't enough to survive on. I'll leave it at that. You've said it all. I think it's time to change professions. It's pathetic.

Very well said! I couldn't agree more! (nm)

I worked for MQ for 6 years, and they went from bad to worse. I am glad I do not work there anymore. I worked every weekend (my choice) and almost every holiday for them. They do not give you any differential for working w/e or holidays and will try to screw you out of any $$ they possibly can. After 6 years, no one even said thank you, good luck..nothing!!! I now work for a company that actually appreciates my work!
Bravo! Couldn't have said it better myself
Never had a problem with MQ until DQS. I am chained to this desk from sun up to sun down just trying to make the line count. It was NOT like that before DQS - I actually made very good, but now I can barely get by. What is really disturbing to me is that it is obvious a very big problem to a large number of MTs, yet MQ turns a blind eye. I guess as long as the big dogs are getting their fair share, then they are not worried about who is actually keeping them in business - the MTs. Without us, where would they be??
Couldn't agree more, LOL! (nm)

Flo COULDN'T have written this!
LOL
I tried it but couldn't do a good job of it.
It would be nice to just test out their platform before signing on with them and giving out so much personal information. If you spend a lot of time with data entry before even beginning the report, you can't really make any money that way either regardless of the nice pay rate.
good luck.:)

Could you e-mail me privately and let me know what company this is in California? Thanks!

I am so tired of reading messages from miserable, crabby MT's, who blame their lack of production or being fired from a company, on everything else, but themselves. If that poster was fired from Spheris, it was with good reason. If you cannot cut it at Spheris, they cut you loose. You have 90 days (3 months) to meet your production goals, and judging from your spelling and grammar you probably started on a fairly low level account. I have mentored MT's, done editing, QA audits, and transcription, and the only way to make money is to work HARD!!! That is something that so many people that I have trained do not seem to understand. You have to work to make money and to get your production in.
I totally agree with your post, and I just wanted you to know.
Tried the web address given but couldn't get in. nm
