I'm so sorry, guys. I hope you all get better positions soon.

So is MDI-MD separate from MDI-FL?
thanks again for this info!
MDI is a separate company..
In terms of things changing at the whim of Transcend upper management, Liz is part of Transcend upper management. As founder of MDI, she has a major part of the final say in any decisions made.
Two separate companies - nm

So 5 separate MTs have not been paid?
Am I counting these separate posters correctly?

Thanks for starting this thread, 'Fair Warning.' This is definitely something everyone needs to be aware of.

Best wishes and good luck to all of you who were stiffed by Landmark. I hope you're all taking whatever action necessary to collect what is rightfully (and legally) due to you!
There has been a separate board for several days, but sm

you can't see it in the left hand column when you are on the Main Board.  I usually go to the Company Board, then the MQ board is listed underneath the company board to the left hand side of your screen. 


Not really. Podiatry is a separate entity IMO
They're even a DPM instead of an MD most times.
Can you do a C&P of these into a separate folder so they will always be handy for you? nm

Other job board is separate from reg. message

they will remain 2 separate entities

cbay and MQ.  As far as buying them out, Cbay has bought 70% shares from Phillips Electronics who originally had the interest of stocks.  Cbay was only able to do this through 2 huge financial corporations one located in UK and the other in the US.  we will remain under the financial guidance of cbay holdings who is currently going through changes in management. 


I have steady work and see my primary work steadily throughout the day with 2 other accounts. The pay could be better since they reduced the rate when doing ASR work but it is still higher than other companies pay for ASR.  You have to speak up for yourself when you feel you deserve a raise. They won't come to you so make sure you go to them when you feel its time.  I try to stay positive and throughout the major changes which started about 2 years ago I have remained here when I thought I would not last and there were always people doubting they would not last.  I even went to work for another company and decided to go back to MQ.  Maybe it was not the right fit but it takes time finding the right one and I still might explore other opportunities but I have gained so much experience here as far as medical transcription is concerned. 


Hope this helps a lot.  good luck to you. 


 


separate account for taxes
I actually set up a separate account and deposit 35% of each check into that account to pay for taxes... it's the Feds, 14% for social security, state, and local at least for me in the state of PA.  File quarterly to avoid any penalty....
I wonder if referring to 2 separate post?s
I disagree, if a job is posted there is no reason not to give out the lowest to highest rate offer for the advertised position They know what they will offer FOR THE POSITION.
happens in other posted jobs all the time -- all the time, it is listed on the job opening. This saves both sides time
why not, only to find out some low rate you would not have bothered with, sent in a resume, tested for or interviewed for. I forgot one time -- forgot to PRE- check it out, got to interview and it was 7.5. What a waste (both sides) actually, but more for the MT wasted a lot of time.
Dental and vision are separate and extra. sm

I don't know how much, though, because I tossed the info on it as the provider list for the dental was SO LIMITED it wasn't even worth it, I couldn't get any dentist I wanted.


Naaa, can put it on one sheet but you'll have a separate
column(s) for ASR figures.
It's a separate company with different ways of doing things
Transcend is a public company and owned by shareholders, and MDI is a major shareholder.

I have been at MDI for several years and I have not noticed any change in the way it is run.

SoftScript has a separate path division.
But they don't seem to have many openings and when they do, they are offered to the MTs already there.
open separate account, put in 25% to be safe.

Transcription South and TSI are 2 separate companies

ShortHand is a separate program you buy. ESP is what comes within ExText. nm

& send separate checks for OT after MT reminds them

The above poster wasn't me. I'm the LOL from above. Two separate posters - haha

Webmedx has 6 paid holidays a year, separate from PTO, for full time employees.

Also do they have IC positions?
tia too
Both positions are for...
large teaching facilities with many different types of reports.  The test reports I did included a chest x-ray, mammogram, MRI, CAT scan, and a few interventional procedures.  So I'm thinking maybe the gross line method would be best?
Positions..
Would anyone know where to find MT management-type job openings on the internet? Have been searching with no luck. TIA!
IC positions
Can anyone tell me which companies still hire ICs.  TIA!
Is there an ad for MT positions somewhere? sm
I don't see an ad here. Please let me know.
No, they are actually 2 different positions
You are the 24-hour PT fixed schedule.

For MTs who want to work 20 hours and under, they work when they are needed or something like that. It's in the other posts.

good luck with MQ
IC positions
Does anyone know of any IC jobs that allow you to work the hours you want, with just a weekly line requirement?
MDI positions
Keep checking back with them on your resume, and if nothing pans out try again in a few months. I imagine they have been flooded with resumes this week from MQers. They are usually pretty good about not overhiring and keeping the accounts staffed adequately so it all stays in TAT but people have enough work.
PT Positions
Hi - I currently work part-time for a company that is consistently running out of work (a bunch of you can probably guess which one). I am looking for somewhere where I can put in about 10 hours weekly to supplement. Can anyone recommend anywhere that would hire for such limited hours? I do not want to leave my current company just yet - only been there a year.....but do want something permanent and steady.
QA positions
This is possibly a stupid question but how do you get a job in QA?  I have been a medical Transcriptionist for over 24 years and would love to do some QA work.  Can anyone give me some insight into this?  THANKS!
QA positions
Thanks so much Heather!  That is exactly what I am going to try doing as well. 
What's with all the IC positions I'm seeing lately?

It was just a matter of a few years ago that the IRS was stomping on just about any MTSO that used what I will call (for want of a better term) the IC dodge to get out of withholding taxes, paying their share of SS, unemployment insurance premiums, etc., etc. 


At the time, the IRS published a list of something like 20 questions or criteria that had to be met for an individual to truly be considered an independent contractor - and none of the MTSOs they audited met the criteria.  I was personally involved with a company that was declared in violation and it cost them plenty.  I also heard about a number of others that were similarly penalized.


For the most part, this IC thing is just what I called it above - a DODGE.  In almost every sense, in most cases, the individual is an EMPLOYEE.  One of the criteria, for instance, included the degree of control over HOW the work was to be done, WHEN the individual had to work, etc. and it's almost impossible for an MTSO not to exercise more control than the IRS likes to see.


One explanation could be that the IRS is concentrating on other industries right now. They're so short-handed in their auditing division that they have to prioritize what they go after each year.  Maybe they thought they had cleaned this up and moved on.  If so, they should come back and take another look, because this is starting to rear its ugly head again.


 


Which positions and

No IC positions at Precyse. nm

At home positions
DTS America Brentwood TN has at home positions awesome management group there.
eliminated positions
Well.... I'm not sure which account you are talking about, but what actually took place was this.... for each of the .. I think 3 accounts there was a day and an evening lead MT. On the acct I worked on there was also a night lead .. though I'm not sure about the others. What they did was tell the leads that their positions were eliminated and actually created new positions, positions which were lead positions, both covering 3 accounts instead of one... plus they are required to type 600 lines on their shift... which basically means they will be of no support to the MTs.. which I felt was the most important part of my job. You will not find anything which violates labor laws in this.... As far as integrity in a company that would do that to their employees.. that is different story. Now.. what you might learn by reading through the facts on this site...

http://www.dol.gov/elaws/

is that these people seriously violate the labor laws when it comes to the amount of work-related hours their MTs put in which they are not paid for.... now THERE is something that cannot be denied. Please tell whichever lead it is ... that I know how she is feeling.. and it shouldn't be allowed... but then..firing an employee after 28 years of working in the same hospital for fabricated reasons after you find out she knows you have been playing doctor with one of the married physicians on staff... and are afraid she might tell... well that isn't right either.. but .. it still happens all the time...the only and very best thing we can do ... is swear to be better people than those who are willing to screw the rest of us to get ahead....
Editor positions
I would be interested in becoming an Editor ... I have been an MT for 25+ years and would welcome $14.00 an hour.  Please send email.. thanks
Maybe the M-F positions are filled? Don't know
nm
How about QA positions? May be interested.
Went on website and looks like you can only apply for MT. ?
Hospital positions

The hospitals themselves have rules that they only hire from certain states. I have never really gotten a definite answer as to why, but I believe it has to do with the state tax withholding and they are only compatible with certain states.  I work for one of these hospitals, but I could not work for the other one because of the state I live in.


It's too bad they put you through all of that without checking first. It should be one of the first things the recruiter checks for a hospital position I would think.  There is more than one hospital, so make sure you don't qualify for any of the other ones.  


 


do they offer QA positions?

All IC positions and they do offer

MD-IT psych positions
Has anyone interviewed with and heard from MD-IT regarding their psych positions?  I interviewed last week and still have not heard anything...
psych positions
Can someone tell me who MD-IT is? website? Thanks.
Most of those are inhouse positions so just
NM
They were only hiring for 5 positions

I know that the recruiter was overwhelmed with the amount of resumes she received.  However, I do know that they go through the resumes and keep the qualified MTs on file for the next time they hire. 


The ones accepting these positions must be SM
newbies, cause I can't believe an MT with much experience would put up with it.
QC editing positions??
I am currently with Focus and have been given the choice of quitting or working a fixed shift for productivity. I now work for productivity and at least can make up for it later if I have equipment issues or no work. Know of any good ON-SHORE companies to work for?
