I've been there almost a year.
Anything special you want to know?
That's odd. I've been there a year and only
ran out of work once.
I've been there less than 1 year
and make 8.5 -- I started at 8 and then was raised up to 8.5 after I was done with training and probation. I am told I will be elligible for a raise to 9 after 1 year. The company is VERY nice. It is based on production, not hours. I average 16,000 lines every 2 weeks. I'm on ortho and don't have a set shift -- I have 3 doctors assigned to me and I just have to have my work done within 24 hours of downloading.
i've been with them about a year
and very very seldom have work flow problems. I think its the best place there is to work.
I've been with them for a year --
and I'm quite happy. My pay is not the greatest, but I have a good account, they're fairly flexible and the benefits are pretty good. I've never been this happy overall with a company and the account I'm working on.
I've been there not quite a year and don't know him, but
if he is still there he is not in QA.
I've been there for a year now
last time I checked I lived in Georgia (the state, not the country!)
Our tech support is located in India...but so is Dell's, Microsoft's, most of AT&Ts, should I continue the list?
If you're 100% anti-India then yeah, don't apply. But if you want a job with a decent pay and not a lot of stress, then apply. We have issues like any other company, but they are always willing to work things out and they do take what the MTs have to say into consideration.
I've been there a year
I enjoy it. Work is pretty steady, slows down around the holidays sometimes. Every now and then things get hectic, and the tech support and file support is in India, so talking over the phone is sometimes difficult but that's just because of different accents.
They are growing as a company, so sometimes we have to work together to get bugs worked out, but they listen to our ideas and opinions, and understand when you have family emergencies, sick kids, etc.
Like I said, I've been there for a year, and I'm not one to stick around a job if I don't like it, MT or otherwise.
Good luck in whatever you do!
I've been with OSI almost a year
My QA scores are consistently 98.9 to 99.6. I don't feel their QA is unfair or stringent. In fact, it seems they don't really sweat every comma, but rather are looking for a correct quality report that doesn't contain any terminology errors or major grammar/punctuation errors.
I've worked for MDI over a year now

They've been advertising for about a year -

I've worked there for over a year
yes we have Indian counterparts who handle our IT department, but our MTs are in the US. At least I'm pretty sure Georgia is in the US last time I checked....
I like the work, everyone I work with is pleasant, a few hiccups along the way but nothing crazy.
But hey, to each his own. Last time I checked just about every other US company had their IT based out of India, the Philippines, etc., but I don't see anyone going after them!
I've been doing that for a year, and HATE it.
So I'm looking for something else, some type of office job. Unfortunately, that's the way the MT biz is these days. The MTSOs make these ridiculous schedules because it's easier for them than trying to get people to work on weekends, in my opinion. You will also notice that the people in the office work M-F 9-5, with all holidays off.
I've worked for them since July of last year...
and I started out with Express Scribe software and no foot pedal. They never told me that I had to buy anything and they did provide the AAMT BOS, and medical spellchecker, and drug dictionary amongst other stuff that I am too tired to think about at this point. Just an FYI.
Don't know if they've ever raised their pay above 7 and 8 cpl. It's been that rate for year

What they mean is that your PTO hours do not start to accrue until you've been there a year. The

I've had concerns for at least a year. I'm a long-term
QTer so I have seen lots of changes. Not that I expect anything, but we've always gotten something for MT week and this year not even a card and the whole stink over Christmas. The IRA thing doesn't have me really concerned. From what I understand they only hire ICs now. I know they've had some long-term people leave who might have been employees, so it might not be cost efficient to continue the program. I haven't had a raise in several years and these days I'm just glad to have a paycheck. I don't know how much of the work is being offshored, but you would think that would free up some $$, unless they have had to hire extra QA people. I like not having lots of e-mails/phone calls, but I also would like to know what is going on. I denied for months they were offshoring, but when I got proof it was a slap in the face and I felt like we should have been told about it. There seems to be plenty of work on my account so the offshoring hasn't affected me directly. So far the checks are always on time and have never bounced.
Things have definitely changed and I don't think for the better, though I've interviewed with several companies lately and haven't found one yet that is better than QT. I just try to do my lines and be thankful for a paycheck and just accept the fact that the company will never be what it was.
Marilyn - I think we're on the same account...I've been with KS for over a year (sm)
and was given this as a backup account...I can't make ANY lines on it at all...I've already given up for today.
I've only been there a year. I like it. Was with YOG, eaten by MQ for 10 years and then with Futu
As others have said, no company is perfect, but Webmedx has a nice incentive plan, and you can make decent money and acquire decent benefits. I have received positive feedback from my supervisors there--a rarity in this industry. My only concern with them is, like all MTSOs, they seem to overhire at times. I have 3 accounts--and would be happy to take more--but I have run out of work a couple of times this year that were not the typical times were all expect. Good luck to you.
You'll get over the good feelings. I've been here over a year now. (sm)
And if you had seen the subtle changes they have been making, you may agree they are moving in the direction of becoming the new MQ (pre sale to India).
Great place to work. I've been there a year.
Exactly what do you want to know?
AccuStat...any new info? I've read the archives that are a year old...
my first year I made 16k. Doubled that second year. Going on year 6 with (sm)
two local accounts I earned 23,000.00 and a national I earned 35,400... 58,400 this year. Don't ask me how many hours, though, I really have no idea. I'm pretty motivated. (When people ask me how many hours I work a week I reply as many as it takes I'd say 40-50/week. I am also a fitness instructer and personal trainer, about 5 hours a week or so. Decent money (sometimes under the table!) but mostly I just do it for fun and to be social and wear cute work-out clothes.
that first year was a rough one... but I consider it part of my education.
I'm pretty motivated.
Last year, there was a letter sent that told us what we earned the previous year. sm
In the past, it has been all or nothing; if you did not hit the lines for full time for the year, you did not get PTO. I talked to my lead this morning about a last-minute vacation and she told me that the yearly packets are going out in a week or so and that the new policy will acrue PTO by the pay period or month. I like that a lot better, but she also made it sound like they are upping the amount of lines needed to acrue PTO. I normally get between 15 and 20,000 lines per pay period, so I am sure that will be fine but I am worried about the periods that have lower volumes, like most of January every year.
If you are statutory they take out SS tax only. (sm)
In this instance they took everyout out but.
Statutory or IC?
Statutory is different than IC - I haven't seen much in the way of statutory, but I just had a job offer today, GOOD offer, too - from Oracle, and it's IC. I'm leery about going IC all the way, but then again - why not? There are no guarantees anywhere, and my husband says we do much better tax-break wise with IC than employee status.
Statutory or IC
Hey, I just had an offer from them today too.. Maybe we can chat? I didn't get my paperwork yet in email. Did you?
Statutory of IC
Oh I talked to her today and she is sending my paperwork, so if you had not accepted, then you probably wont' get any paperwork.
Which is better, statutory or IC
and why?
everybody is statutory.sm
Good company, sometimes too much work, sometimes not enough, just like everywhere else. Lanier accounts are pretty much like any other account, work is work.
Statutory?
If a company does not take out state income taxes does that mean the Transcriptionist is statutory?
mdi-md statutory
I am looking for the right web address for mdi-md of Maryland that hires statutory. I only found a web site that comes up as trans-mdi (i think that was the right format) but anyway I just want to make sure of the correct address. I have a feeling this website is the the correct one. TIA.
Is it truly IC or statutory?
There is a difference. Employers pay the SS tax on statutory employees; IC's are responsible for all the taxes.
I applied with 3 MTSOs not too long ago (about 4 months). Two of them were statutory status and the other was employee status. The 2 SE's offered me 9.5 and 9 cpl to start. The ES offered me 8 cpl with benefits.
There are many things to consider besides just a starting cpl when choosing an MTSO. For me, flexibility and reliability of work flow was more important than a little more per line. I ended up with the MTSO that paid 9 cpl because I don't need the benefits.
I have seen some IC's on these boards say they make 11 cpl and up. I think a lot of those IC's are truly IC's, contracted by local hospitals, etc. I'm sure there are SE's that make that as well, I just don't know too many that start out at more than 10 cpl these days.
Statutory ?
What is statutary exactly? They just take out FICA/Medicare, not federal or state and you still do a schedule C? I have to find another job as where I work now we just lost a big account with no notice. Last day is tomorrow.
Statutory
The IRS website has good information about statutory versus IC.
Statutory
Nor Cal MT, we are statutory employees, not IC, and I think you spend too much time on this board putting out info that is not accurate.
Webmedx lets you carry them from year to year sm
You can accrue up to 140 hours (I think) before you stop the accrual process. Don't have to use it all in one year.
I would stick it out, most places are slow now through the end of the year every year (nm)

Am I statutory or employee
I just recently started working for MQ. Everyone is getting me confused. First, I am emailed about a rental fee. I called and told them I was an employee. I got my first paycheck and they only took out state and federal taxes. So, I am still as confused as they are. I left 3 messages for payroll and 3 emails. No answer as of yet. Are they supposed to take out all taxes if I am a full time employee? They only took out state and federal. Does this make a statutory?
Thanks for any infor.
I am a statutory employee and they take out sm
state, federal and Social Security. I didn't want to be botherered with the taxes and it was an option they could or I and I chose MQ to take the taxes.
statutory employees
I have been with MQ since 1983 when they were still Transcriptions Limited (the good old days). I don't know what they are doing and I wish I knew. I am part-time 5000 lines a pay period but it only takes me two hours to do 500 lines so that works fine with me. I am on disability and only work enough to supplement by SS. Plus I cannot sit more than two hours at a time so it works out fine. If they come up with this 4 hour minimum then I am in a heap of trouble.
I had someone from corporate call today to ask if I had gotten that letter about the new program. At the time I told him no, but I think I did I just can't find it. I have just gotten out of the hospital after a 12 day stay and can't even get my mind together to figure it out.
I don't like the sound of things but we will know in October according to this guy who called.
statutory employees
I was told today that we would know in October.
Statutory status?
Can anyone tell me what companies offer statutory employee status? Any input appreciated! Thanks
No, everybody there are statutory employees (SE) - nm

former statutory employees can....sm
As I know it, if you were an SE and taxes were taken out, you can file for unemployment.....
They have just statutory status...nm

Statutory employee
I was wondering if anyone could tell me the companies who hire statutory employees? I would like the flexibility of an IC, but I would like the company to pay half the taxes for me. If you know how I could find out which companies work this way, please let me know! Thanks!!!
Statutory employee
By definition an independent contractor (IC) should not be told that he/she will work 8 hours or 2 hours straight on a schedule. You give them the schedule you prefer to work and they accept that or reject it. The operative word here is independent. Far too many companies try to not do the tax thing and still want control of the IC. The IRS does not like that!
you are an SE, statutory employee.

Never having been statutory, I have no idea. Best
