insurance 2 expensive?
Recently I was contacted by an agent of the company I work for and was told that basically they didn't know how much longer they could cover me on their insurance plan that I have been on for years. I am having a bit of a problem changing insurance companies right now because of a chronic illness. I gather that their portion is too expensive although I have no confirmation of that. Can they actually drop me off of their insurance for this reason? I suppose they could always terminate me or push me out, giving no reason, their right, but I already know why. Is this illegal or does it just fall under being a poorly run company?
I think their insurance is very very very expensive. nm

Can someone please tell me how expensive Transtech insurance is.....sm
for self only? low deductibles.
Yes!! I don't like the new insurance, more expensive and higher co-pay. nm
nm
Last time I talked with them, nothing had changed, insurance still way too expensive. nm

To Keystrokes employees: Has anyone heard anything about when a new, less expensive insurance (sm)
is starting? I was told by a valid source it was to be February 1 but it apparently didn't happen then. Has anyone else heard a different date? TIA.
bad insurance, expensive & lousy line count
When Transform (in Wyo) started they used MDintouch which was great but with Vscript I spent more time waiting for new reports to open (because it would have to open Word EVERY SINGLE TIME instead of Word just staying open, and for them to finish sending. long reports were OK & you could make SOME lines/$$ but after 6 years I made less & less AND LESS until I quit because I would OWE on payday - yes, I was paying over $900 for really lousy insurance for hubby & I. I'm no slouch - being doing it for about 25 yr when I quit & typed about 110 wpm. So take no time to pound out a report but tooooo much time wasted waiting on things to grind up & download. HAS to be better offers...
MDI-FL. Last time I checked their medical insurance for families was expensive. Has that changed or
is it supposed to. I know at one point a recruiter told me they were working on making it more affordable but I never heard anything more. That is a big factor for me. I need affordable insurance for my family. Thanks for any input.
VERY expensive
I think it was almost $300/mo for single and much more for kids/family. No dental.
Have you looked to see if your state offers some kind of subsidized health plan for kids? There's one in my state and the income guidelines are quite generous and it was very easy to sign up for - downloaded the forms off the internet and sent them in. I would suggest you do a little research in that direction.
MQ has good benefits, but good luck to a newbie getting the 150 lph on those teaching hospital accounts that you'll need to maintain your benefits.
That is really expensive
for insurance. I could never afford that.
You have to buy a lot of very expensive
equipment - a $300 router, a special modem, and their special telephony equipment. They only do overflow work, accounts not too bad, but there are problems there.
Self-pay for me is less expensive
I work for Keystrokes but unfortuantely their group insurance is more for me than what I pay on my own. I am told it is because of the overall health status of the group involved. If you are healthy, have no preexisting medical conditions,take no medications, and do not smoke you will find that a private plan is more reasonable than a group plan where the majority enrolled are over weight, have chronic illnesses and take prescription medications. Another good reason to stay in shape girls. :)
Very expensive
COBRA is normally offered when your personal or job insurance is no longer active (ex: you quit your job, you were let go). The rates are generally high, there is a cost for others added on to your insurance, and I believe it is only good for 18 months. You may want to check with other medical insurance companies and compare pricing. If there are any pre-exisiting conditions, you will want to find out about the waiting period for that (normally 6 months) as long as you have been covered within the last 6 months. Hope this helps.
TransTech is not less expensive than that...sm
my plan costs what you are paying now with the surcharge, but they have added a high deductible plan that is about 60% of the cost of a regular health plan.
I am getting a little desparate paying these premiums, too. I hope you find something better.
Unfortunately, no. The last job I had the COBRA was too expensive, so I did
not get it, and had about a 4-month lapse.
I guess India got too expensive.
Glad I quit.
I thought they were looking for less expensive plans

Psychiatric help is also expensive, but I think you should check into it anyway. nm
Maybe we should all form - nm
.
Nothing really...ASR is just MQ form of it.
Or at least as far as I know, but I've only done it at MQ...so I very well could be wrong:-)
You want to PURCHASE your own platform? Platforms are very expensive so

There's 49 other states who are tired of hearing how expensive CA is. nm,

You sound like the "gambling is expensive" nutcase. nm
She's right above -- just go away.
We ought to form our own company LOL
MTs for MTs? Americans doing work for Americans? Contact them all and keep the accounts with the same Americans who have been doing the work. Okay, okay, nice fantasy, but it was fun.
A bit of gallows humor.
Just a form of advertising
Kind of like a Q&A. Like does so and so offer insurance A: Why yes they do very reasonable. Q: Any info on this company. A: Great company!! Smiley smiley tappy tappy feet. Get a room---- pleaseeeeee
If you file a form with the IRS
as an IC and think you should be classified as an employee, and they determine you have been an employee, are there tax/penalty obligations for the IC?
See Search box top of this form
you can type in Synernet and up comes other posts on company, I saw 7 cents a line, no spaces and 4 cents a line for editing with minumum lines requirments of 1600 straight typing and 2200 lines for editing. Not for me. Slave labor.
Please see response on main form (nm)

Go to your state's website and get the W4 form SM
for your state, fill it out and send it to Medware's HR department/payroll. If they still don't take the taxes out, REPORT THEM TO YOUR STATE TREASURY. The state will go after them and they will have to pay penalties.
By law, they HAVE to take state taxes out of your paycheck if you send the W4 to them. They can't refuse or avoid it.
I am in no way, shape or form trying to bash here.

I got the same form email today and
17 years experience here.
Who's going to give up the life they have now and try to form one?!!

1099 Form amount
Isn't the amount $600.00? If you make that amount or more then you must be sent a 1099 form? I do have records of all of my earnings that I made last year. I made a little over $3,000.00 with this company. It was not that much, but enough to report in.
When I was hired they sent a form letter saying
starting pay was 8 cpl - no exceptions. They talked raise frequently but never got one, never got paid for OT, never got paid for holidays. There was a problem a few months ago and pay was late as supposedly they didn't have money to meet total payroll, but I never had a problem with my check.
MQ application form after interview
Needing a new job, I applied, tested and interviewed with MQ. At the end of the interview, I was told there was one last thing I needed to do, which was to fill out another form. An application similar to the screening application I had completed when I applied initially as I understand. Well, I can't find it. I've also called them twice about it and they said I had been sent an email about it with the link. But, I have received no email about this and do not know where to find this form to complete. I was hoping someone here would know. If you do, please let me know. Thank you in advance.
Sweetness. Let's form a posse.

Go to the medquist form for the date of 03/17/09
Top of page *Two factual Verifications: and under that is: Proof taken off internet. If you click on this you will see the article regarding MQ and SPI's new contract regarding sending 2 million lines per month to them. By 2011 they will be sending 6 million.
I worked form them as well and it was a terrible
the glowing reviews on here of late, and there are 2 reasons for it: 1. For the umpteeenth time, there is some MT out here who works for a different Landmark, and she always gets in on the PA Landmark thread and claims they are wonderful. 2. I honestly believe the posters who praise were 100% management or supervisors, as I know many MTs who worked for them - we all knew each other before - and not one had a good experience, not a single one. Personalities aside, they are a tiny overflow company, and they never have steady work for even part time. So, nothing has changed, yet someone keeps lying on this board and acting like they are multiple people and how great the company is. Its so sad that this continues on here. That's why to this day I don't listen to 1 single review of a company on here. If I read good reviews, I don't believe them. If I hear nothing, I figure its a safe bet, and that finally landed me a wonderful job. But every single job that was praised on this board ended up being literal crap. So very sorry you had to learn the hard way, too. That company is a joke, though its not funny when its happening to you. Be lucky you got out as quick as you did.
How can you receive an email form your
company if your email is not typed exactly right? It will never be delivered into your inbox, but will go right back to the company, as 'not able to deliver.'
Is it possible to do call forwarding to one of those expensive phone sex lines? teehee.

They are nice people, but the pay is on the low side, benefits were expensive and they overhire. nm

For decent private individual policies, it is very expensive for a family.
Unless, you have a $5000-7500 deductible and a 50% copay on prescriptions which is bad for us because my son takes medication that costs $160 a month. If we went with a policy equal to what my job provides, the premium is over $1000 a month. With my job, I am paying about $400 a month for family coverage.
It's the adjective form calculous that modifies sm
cholecystitis. Feel free to look it up. Calculus is a noun.
Please do not put your resume in the form of a medical report.
For starters, using patient's names is incorrect and you have yours all throughout that medical report. I don't know who started this, but it is simply NOT professional and that resume will go very quickly in the dead resume bin.
time to form union, people

WTH do they wait so long? is it a form of torture?
lazy?!?!?!
P.S. - If your company has filed form SS-8 ask for a copy.
If they won't give it to you, see if you can get it from the IRS; I believe you can.
And, of course you can still file your own SS-8 even if the company has filed it. I'm not saying an MTSO would LIE on the form they file, but anyone can make a MISTAKE...
Please form a list of nonVR companies
It would be great to have all in 1 place companies which do not have VR (and they usually are all USA too). I can only come up with 2 to start, but please add to the list. This would certainly help out those who do not wish to take the leap at this time into that kind of technology. Thanks for adding to the list.
1. Keystrokes. Very little VR, lots of straight typing. No overseas.
2. SoftScript. I think all straight typing. I do believe no overseas.
Please add to the list. It would be a helpful tool for many of us. Sorry I can't think of more, but then again, that is why I am creating this post. Thanks again.
OSI true to form: I am ready to quit on the spot
I just got my latest paycheck from OSi and did not get paid the extra 5 cpl holiday pay. The reason??? With their ridiculous new holiday policy my primary and secondary accounts were out of work, did not have enough work to give me the 1000 minimum line count so therefore I did not get the extra pay for the lines that I did type. I was required to be stuck at my PC all day and constantly got instant messages from client support to make sure I was there. This is just sooooooooooo wrong. I am so fighting mad and feel like quitting right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need some help ASAP. Does anybody please know where I could get hired at another company pretty quickly? I almost don't care where it is because I am desperate. This is the last straw with OSI and I have had enough. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Still have not received 1099 form from previous employer!
Am I not correct that employeers are supposed to send out 1099 forms by the 31st of January? I quit a company back in May of 2007 and I still have not yet received a form. I guess I should contact these people? You would think they would have sent it to me by now! It's frustrating having to contact old employers because you really do not want to have to be bothered by them anymore!
Just go to MQ board and read, form your opinion from current employees (nm)
