Any companies letting part-timers buy in on the health insurance? sm
Just wondering if there are any transcription companies where you can work 20 or 25 hours a week and get in on the health insurance plan even if you have to pay the whole premium yourself? Thanks

I worked for several of these companies, just found
greener pasture, but in defense of the companies, I was hired immediately, I did not wait for weeks, days, etc. Perhaps part of it is that I do all work types, I am flexible with my schedule, I will work weekends and/or holidays, etc., and my test results, when given, are very high.

companies that I have found that are fair and flexible
QT and FutureNet

Would you mind naming some of these companies you found - sm
that are better deals? I asked above and you didn't respond. You can e-mail me if you would like!

Everyone is always wondering what companies offshore and i found a link to a bunch

Thanks, but no thanks. Thank you for letting me know. - nm

Okay, thanks for letting us know!!!

Thanks for letting us know!
I happen to work for an excellent MTSO as an IC, never miss a paycheck, EVER. There are others not so lucky. If it were not for checking on this board, how on earth would we know who to trust? We need to keep each other informed. Great job!

Thank you for letting me know!

Thank you for letting us know! (sm)

Thanks for the information! I bet she is bombarded with people! Hope to hear something soon...

Thank you!

Thanks for letting me off the hook. nm

ex QA mgr lost her job for letting cat out of the bag...
and that is then I found another job as well.

Thanks for letting me know! Congrats to you too...
I wait for that knock on the door every day :). It is like Christmas is coming or something. Looking forward to starting. Thanks again for letting me know.

Thanks for letting TT'ers know...
I have almost 40 years of experience and was quoted 4.5 cpl on editing, AND I have been with TT for a few years already. Now I know I have a bargaining edge since you are being paid 6.5 cpl. How in the world did you manage that? I would definitely try editing for that, with the incentives and all. So glad you posted this. I really do not want to leave the company.

Are you asking a question or just letting

just letting people out there
know a little more about the company. It was discussed that no one could find anything about the company and I made a post that could provide a starting point that was not speculative for someone's future search. Didn't mean to be smarmy at all.

I was just letting the OP know if they did not like Meditech there were options - nm

There are "ways" of letting the hospitals

Thanks for letting us MTs know, geez, so sorry this happened.
.They have ads running too. Thanks again, almost sent resume.

Interpro? Anything worth letting a new person know about?

Nah, even more work and the benefit of letting you make a

Mind letting the rest of us in on the conversation and let us know
at least the initals of the company? It is just maddening to be outside of a conversation. LOL.

They keep losing accounts and letting people go. nm

Thanks for letting me know..I'll look for the letter in the mail! (nm)

Wow .. thanks for letting me know. They bill themselves as a small, caring company. sm
The pay isn't much, but I was just going to use it to supplement my income while work is light at my regular job. So much for caring ... who needs their pitifully low offerings anyway? Bah humbug ... LOL

You can make up your lines whenever you like. Just drop them and email letting them know that you ar

Has she posted anything to that effect, or is she letting testing continue?
I dunno, this whole situation sounds a bit peculiar to me. I like to give everyone the benefit of a doubt, but this one just seems peculiar for some reason (or for several reasons).

I hope whoever bothered to test for this and landed it posts how their experience goes.

Whew - sounds like Webmedx dodged a bullet by letting you go. sm
You sound over-the-top dramatic! It is the Sloppiest trasncription rules I have ever seen - sic

Good luck somewhere else.

You are wasting your words on this or any site letting it bother you. The bashers will continue
to bash because they get pleasure from doing so.

What you need to do is do not read the threads. Bashers love to bash.

If you choose to read the threads, take it with a grain of salt and just let it go over your head.

You know the truth and an intelligent MT will go to the company for questions particularly when that company makes it clear in their ads that they can.

I just would not sweat it. Know that intelligence prevails in this industry and the smart ones will find out for themselves rather than read sour grapes or anything that resembles it.

Go relax and don't worry about it. Enjoy your day.

That is a BIG problem at TransTech is leads assigning work, rather than letting the work flow
This TT MT just admitted to that fact. It has been very obvious, as so easy to tell how work comes into our que and then gets pulled out as fast as it came in and replaced with YUKKY dictators. VERY frustrating to us other TT MT's who take the JUNK that is NOT assigned to other MT's, such as this poster.

TransTech and Medware, are these companies considered large, medium-sized or small companies? (sm)
TIA

Yikes.. That is only inline with companies like Focus and such. "Real" companies pay their MTs
decent rate. I make over 5 cpl editing. So, if I got that slap in the face, I'd be outta there.

Do the research...most companies, and not just MT companies, do not pay for maternity leave...
we get time off but not paid...and I really don't even understand the point of you posting this...

This is what I have found while looking for the right job - sm
I have one child still at home who will be going off to Kindergarten in a couple of years. I do not want to put my child in day care, so I need a job that provides an adequate window to be able to finish my work. I do 1000 lines per day, 5 days a week. I know that isn't a lot, but with a child at home with me during the day, that's the most I can do at this time. I have yet to find a company who will allow you to have employee status and flexibility with your schedule. Yes, you can generally pick your own schedule with most companies, but I just cannot say that I will be able to finish my work within an 8-hour period of time. That is why I am looking into FN at this time.

To each his own. I have found in all my
years of working at home that what one MT thinks is great, another thinks is not so great. The opinions of the company that I stated are my experience. It could be mine only. I am only trying to help.

Found it! (nm)

I was not impressed, it took a long time to learn, and the training the pits.

OK, I found it
Thanks I will check that out!

I found some...
I finally found some fairly current posting about OSI. I had to go back to page 20 or so. However, if anyone wants to add anything new, I would love to read about it. Thanks.

What I found -
Most accounts have plenty of horrible ESL docs. There is also lack of work on a very regular basis. Pay is on time and seems to be correct. Communication, when there is any, is often rude, stinging, and nasty for no reason whatsoever other than *someone* is having a bad day. You decide for yourself.

Found it!!
Never mind, unless someone has updated information. I just did a search and found past posts on this company.

That's what I found odd..It was never really an ad..
It really was just someone on the job seeker's board, a Baspen or something saying that some company had contacted her about a traveling job and she was passing on the information. So, no company ever came and did an ad themselves, just supposedly an MT with information. The next thing you know, she is saying the position is filled Now, if she was only just an MT who was asked about a job she didn't want, what is her angle advertising on here for them. I found it odd and thinks this person solicited resumes for whatever reason. I am not sure why it was even allowed on the job board as I do not feel it was very legit.

Thanks! Found it.
I have to buy it. Thought someone could tell me how to delete words/lines at a time, etc.

Let me tell you what I have found about VR
I am on VR and thankful, very thankful a lot of the ESLs on there - the reason is their dictation actually comes out better on VR than hearing yourself. If they have a medication VR is really able to get in a way I never could have imagined. I would not worry about VR being able to get their voices- what I think will probably happen in your job is any and all dictators probably going to VR and then the money for transcribing drops, tremendously. A lot of places trying to do away with straight (the nationals) and get VR.

I have found it
by just typing in MD-IT Transcrip;ton Service. Their website came up.

Found it, is this it?
The company I have been working for for about a year decided they were not going to pay this pay period because they claimed they did not get paid because of bad transcriptions and they were looking to see who were behind the bad transcriptions and then pay next pay period, which is a month after the work is completed as it is. Also, the work has been under 100% QA, so how could there be bad transcriptions still getting through? Does anyone know if there are legal remedies, as they owe me three paydays if they decide to not pay me.
