In Reply to: Isn't the biggest difference in tax rate? NM - ???
You pay for your taxes at 100% if you are an IC but I dont think she was asking about taxes.
If you are single and have kids, then you usually pay no taxes or very little anyway unless you make over 30,000 a year.

Plus, they are always having technical
issues!! My PC goes down at least once a week and their word expansion program is the worst!!
I have never had a technical problem
with either the hardware or software thus far. I was out of work once for a few hours on my primary account, but was trained on one very similar to it until the primary was ready again. They have also apparently added two new accounts today. I am part-time (not management). However, I do acknowledge that not every place works for everyone, and no place is perfect. I had a one-month disaster at TRS last year after so many raved about them, 2004 AAMT employer of the year, etc. I'm happy with Amphion so far, but I fully support anyone's decision to leave a situation which isn't working for them.
Age has nothing to do with technical ability.
or lack of technical ability.
Why isn't there a Technical Forum here? Could use one - nm

Technical Question
Does anyone know if it is possible to run the Bayscribe platform for MDI-MD on the same computer as a platform used for a Keystrokes account (do not know the platform name yet)? Was thinking about trying them both but didn't know if this was possible. Also, if the tech from one company installs the platform and sees a platform for another company on the same computer, is that ever a problem? Any info appreciated.
Technical question
This job was posted in the Job Seeker's Board...I can't seem to be able to reply to message and no contact information was provided. Anybody have suggestions. I apologize if this was not the place to post this question. See below:
Posted By: NC acute care hospital employee position on 2008-10-21
We are looking for someone who is in the Charlotte, Concord, Lake Norman general vicinity (or relatively close) for a remote Transcriptionist position (after a reasonable training period). Dictaphone platform, great benefits, good line rates, hospital employee status, extremely generous PTO, very few ESL's, and wonderful work environment. Prefer candidates within commuting distance for training, etc. E-mail for details and information on applying. We need to fill this position as soon as possible.
Anybody else at Webmedx going nuts from technical hassles?
I know better than to post this on their internal message board, as anything that is not 100% happy gets deleted.
This is the 2nd week in a row of technical issues on the client's end vs issues on our end, with the MTs caught in the middle, having to twiddle their thumbs during their scheduled shift, then give up their scheduled days off and work like mad playing catchup. I guess I just want to vent and commiserate . Anybody else in my boat?
Technical issues with the platform were horrible
It was slow a few times, never completely out, but I could never make any lines because of the technical issues with the platform.
This belongs on Technical board; thread locked.

Transolutions pays for technical and no-work downtimes.

class
It must take a tremendous amount of class (not to mention bravery) to anonymously insult hard-working people on a board created specifically for MTs. Also, just how educated is a person who ends her opening sentence with a preposition? (gee!)
Little to no class here-thank the co SM
via email or even better a thank you card and get on with life. How a company treats you once a year is really nothing to come to an MT board and post about.
Wow, Such Class
lots of good technical things, but they outsource overseas
and a lot of their managers are from the old Edix, which is not a good thing, if you want to be treated with respect.
if you do not mind how you are treated, you can do okay. hard getting lines consistently.
my opinion. maybe things have changed, but I have read a lot of negative on here lately.
Dictaphone EX Text users. I have a question I need help with on Technical Board.. Thanks

Your class is slipping
.
MDI-MD for SE work is top-class
Simple platform, great people, direct deposit, pays for adt, punctuation and spaces. Very strict QA. A small but growing company. Does not outsource.
Class action
You might have enough people to bring a class action, or just go together to hire an attorney...
Good luck!
D&L class action?
I think a bigger problem is many people complain, put up with it, or leave and complain but do not follow through - Otherwise how did it get so bad? I think everyone needs to fight back to this company and every company that does this THE FIRST time - if you bounce a check or do not pay what happens - you get it on your credit - send notes to the credit agency - you are a business - IC - and tell them - send them your unpaid invoices and they will place it on their credit report.
That's when we do a class-action and
Doesn't that sound like a plan?
At least YOU showed some class and maybe
reflect on how to treat valued employees. Good for you! Boo for your bosses.
The cookbook was the most low class SM
so-called gift I have ever received in my life from any employer. Don't forget they're saving money by never updating the home screen of the community page, we haven't had an employee of the month since November or December. I will listen and gag at all the patronizing things they say and wait for the bad news to be delivered, whatever it turns out to be.
There is a not enough of a middle class to keep

support/technical dept is great. i use mine so i think that is just a personal choice and don't

disappearance of the middle class...
actually, we have always been 'poor' so to speak, so all this stuff is not affecting us so much...
I feel sorry for those who are now living like we are, only used to be considered well off; needing to cut back on spending, etc., noticing the pinch as the middle class gets squeezed more and more.
the funny part will be when we have some type of revolution in THIS country, which will happen. history only repeats. you keep people down and they will revolt. america is only going to take so much of this loss of liberties and rights, and jobs, total abuse of power and money against the little guy, etc.
more class than this site deserves...
fur shure!!HAHAHAHAHA!
ohhhhh my, sooo sorry (that was no class act)sm
And some on this board say the MTs complain (for no reason, their fault etc.
Ya know what, I am not here daily but I seem to see some of the same theme over and over and then to take heed. I know people stretch, etc, but I believe it, yes, I do.(one that got me recently was PAYPAL and having to pay $10 for a check that is $240 to get paid, (20 a month)
While the American middle class is shrinking every day.

I think everyone should file a class-action suit
We need to CALL THE FACILITIES and let them know what is going on! OR Class Action Lawsuit
...we need to all go out on strike! If we ALL stopped working tomorrow, called the facilities and let them know why, where would WebmedX be?
It's wearing thin, and I'll sign onto class action!
Right now I'm working full-time for one of the Axis of Evil...where, as we know, the recent denied-until-it-happened pay cuts and global equilibration of account levels screwed me, so I'm trying to get out of that hell hole, where the only thing left after VR gets done are the crappiest of the crap. I saw light at the end of the tunnel, and it turns out it was a train coming through to smack me head-on.
So I guess I'll hang onto the 2 jobs I have now, while I continue to look for 1 or maybe 2 that will be more amenable. I don't mind working hard and I don't really even mind the account job #2 has me on (although it has been NWA all week...must have hired some more bodies), but I hate the perceived sneakiness of it while they've got my back against the wall. GRRRR
Not really. The middle class is necessary - to support the welfare people and to pick up the slack f

need to clarify...I meant if you are taking a specific "training" class on the platform, navig
then no you are not getting paid...but if you are typing reports then yes...
for MQ STAT employees tier rate applies to ME rate as well and how calcluated?
for a STAT MQ employee: Does anyone know if the tier rate is going to be applied to the ME rate as well or are they going to go with the 80% of the MT rate for each tier level? If the tier rate doesn't apply as well to the ME rate then going by the 80% of the MT rate is less than if the tier rate would be applied. I'm sure that MQ is going to go by whatever keeps money in their pockets. Guess this is a question for the supervisor tomorrow.
Their line rate was less than my current nat'l rate, even with mucho experience. nm

VR rate is 1/2 rate of traditional typing,I believe it is 4 cents line.
I took that to mean you can get to that rate after 1600 lines and that is not the starting rate.
:
Webmedx ASR rate is 70% of your regular line rate. sm
So if you are on a 9 cpl account, you get 6.3 CPL plus any bonus / incentives / shift differential.
From the current editing rate not typing rate
.
So does yours. Perhaps you need a basic money class to learn to keep money. sm
I am off today and appalled at reading the posts on here.
Are you always this bitter? Do you have a family and friends who are safe and healthy? Count your blessings instead of being so angry and you might see that this is not a bad field to be in. It has kept food on my table for 27 years and will continue to do so. Is it harder now? You bet, but it is not impossible to make a good living of $50,000. You just have to work hard, give it your all and appreciate the good companies that are out there.
If I were an MTSO, I would find out who all these people posting such bitter posts are and find replacements for them a.s.a.p. Negativity spreads like poison, and with the world in the state it is, we should bond together not make it worse.
is the VR line rate 60% of the regular typing line rate?
s
Is the ASR line rate 1/2 of transcription line rate? sm
Reason I ask is that I assume if they have ASR now that eventually all will be ASR except of course for the awful dictators as this seems to be the norm.
Pay rate
Thanks!!
Pay rate?
How many years of experience as an MT do you have? Our old contract was based on that - wondering if it is still going to be that way.
TIA

Are there any companies who are offering 10 cpl or more for new hires on employee status these days? If so, I have yet to hear about them. From everything I have seen, with experience, 7-8 cpl seems to be the norm with shift differential and production incentives on top of that, plus, of course, any benefits offered.
I have also been very happy at MedWare. I do ER work for them along with some acute care. I have no plans to change jobs anytime in the near future.
Don't be put off by what you see. If you're at all interested, contact the recruiter. He/she can give a much better picture of what is available. Most of the time, on message boards you tend to get a higher percentage of negative comments regarding companies because the people who are happy don't typically take the time to come and write praises, while the people who are not happy are quick to vent. JMO, of course.
Top QA rate!
What would be considered the top rate being offered in the industry for QA? Does anyone know of companies paying good QA rates that they can recommed?
Thank You
Seems to be the going rate these day, but isn't
a good rate.
My rate was over $300 nm
.
Why is the rate so low? sm
If I have to read the entire report to verify it is correct, it takes me just as much time as if I typed the report. My TIME is what I am compensated for. Why don't editors make the same line rate as transcriptionists?
RE; pay rate
i'm not sure what the norm is but they claim to start out at 8.5 cpl; they claim there are 8 levels, they said they put me at level 7 - hope that helps
V/R rate
what do you make now?
