Not due to noncompete clause ..
I'm just talking in terms of other MTSOs will hear that you are going around town undercutting their prices and stealing their clients. They get mighty ticked and share that info with other MTSOs and then if you apply with them, they'll say Oh, THAT person and it will not help your case any. It's not a legal thing such as the noncompete, just kinda like a social outcast, for lack of better explanation! lol
If you are happy where you are, I agree you should stay. You have to remember that most of what you hear on the Internet is exaggeration. I take about half of what I hear, cut that in half, and THAT is how much I believe. LOL It's just too tempting when you are posting anonymously to add some flavor to your life story so I just take what I hear on these boards with a grain of salt unless I personally know the poster.
There is good money in having your own accounts but there are a LOT of headaches that go along with it, too. (For example, I'm dealing with a severely delinquent client right now -- big bad headache.) I enjoy it but not everyone is cut out for the business side of running a service so you know, the grass isn't always greener. Or to take a line from one of my favorite songs, the grass is always greener where the dogs are sh*tting. (Oops, can I do that here?? lol)
Sometimes I'd just as soon go back to working for someone else, even if it meant less money. I'd give up some of the headaches in a heartbeat but I can't give up the flexibility that having my own service affords. Too spoiled now! I have two children so that's the major reason why I enjoy having my own service. I can call the shots as far as what hours I want to work as long as the work is delivered within the TAT. :)
One thing I should add, though, is that I do pay a price for the flexible hours in that I don't get days off very often, and they sure aren't paid when I do (same goes for sick days). On the contrary, I have to pay someone else to cover for me on those days. And for the record, I do my own transcription and have a couple of subs who help out only for overflow or when I get backlogged, maybe once a month or so -- or if I just need a vacation -- so I am still very much a working MT!! I have seven docs I transcribe for so I am busy, busy, busy. I'm looking into probably hiring someone on for the long haul within the next six months because my workload is increasing by the day but I will always still transcribe, too, for as long as this body will hold out.
Anyway, my point of this long post is to say that for me, having my own accounts is not just to make better money, although that is a good perk, but about the freedom to call the shots. Since I make the contract, I make my the rules and if they don't like my way of doing things, they can find another service. Since there aren't too many in my area, they'll usually negotiate something that works for us both. :D
No-Compete Clause
I need help making a decision and I don't know who to ask. My company recently had a layoff, and in order to receive my severance, they are asking that I sign a form that states that I will not work for a competitor for the next 12 months--basically stating that I will not begin to work for any company in the MT business and that I will not try to start my own business. The severance pay only equals a very, very, very small fraction of 12 months of pay, so the compensation of this request is inadequate.
I have contacted to local attorneys. They both said that it is legal of them to request this. One lawyer said that I just simply should not accept the severance and that I should just try to find another job. The second lawyer said to sign the agreement, accept the severance, and still try to find another job because the no-compete clause is just too vague and asking me to give up my career for 12 months is not something that would be supported in a court of law if my previous employer decided to prosecute.
Has anyone ever been in this situation? What did you do or what is your advice to me?
About that 75 miles clause
I've never seen that enforced on at-home employees, so I'm not sure. I HAVE seen references to FMLA in Medquist's literature, which implied to me that FMLA applied to MQ'ers. As many MQ'ers as there are though, maybe there are 50 or more employees in most 75-mile radiuses? Even with the Q though, that doesn't seem possible. The USA is a pretty big place... My thinking is that FMLA applies to at-home employees who are employed by companies with more than 50 employees.
Are you sure the non-compete clause prevents you from working elsewhere?
Oftentimes, what the non-compete clause in an MT contract means is that the MT cannot solicite work from the clients of the MTSO, not that the MT can't also work elsewhere. In fact, for an IC contract, stating you can only work for that MTSO is a big no-no (since one of the IRS definitions of an IC is that they provide their services to more than one client).
This is the confidentiality clause on email I receive
This email message may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information. If you are not the intended recipient(s), or the employee or agent responsible for the delivery of this message to the intended recipient(s), you are hereby notified that any disclosure, copying, distribution, or use of this email message is prohibited. If you have received this message in error, please notify the sender immediately by e-mail and delete this email message from your computer. Thank you.
The way I translate that whole paragraph is:
I am the intended recipient. The rest of the paragraph does not apply.
However, if I were NOT the intended recipient, THEN I am hereby notified regarding disclosure, copying, distribution, blah blah blah blah.
Go prove your case and get what is owed to you.
Good luck.
Proveros, Inc.
Anyone heard of this company good bad or ugly. Rather know upfront.
Proveros Inc
Anyone know what they pay for eScription?
Does anyone know anything about Proveros?
Good, bad, ugly? I think they are in NH. TIA!
I can tell you more about Proveros.
Proveros
Watch out... I've had experience dealing with a company that was partnered with Proveros... they did not pay on time and what they do pay is pathetic... Stay away, stay far, far away...
proveros does

Proveros Pay
Is Proveros's regular pay once or twice a month?
Proveros
Is there anyone that knows anything about Proveros?
Proveros
It is an exploitative venture that pays slave wages. Don't suport it.
Proveros
You might want to do a background check on the principals.
proveros
good/SMART. Unlike some of us who got screwed over by Proveros.
So what about Proveros?
Don't you think we should see for ourselves what was said?
Proveros....sm
If anyone is considering working for Proveros, just know that you will have to wait 30 days before you receive a paycheck, it's in their contract. 
Proveros
I would also go to the Proveros website and check out the affiliations that are listed. Personally, I was surprised to see several religious organizations listed as affiliates of Proveros.
Proveros..
Proveros
I TOTALLY AGREE!
Proveros
You are so right!! Sydniee is such a liar and a bitch (you will never get her to respond to you, how they stay is business is a mystery.
PROVEROS! STAY AWAY!!
I worked for this company for a couple of days and went elsewhere because they offered no benefits. I was to have received a check on the 30th of July for work done the beginning of July and didn't get it. After repeated communications, they have told me it has been mailed, overnighted, etc., etc. and I still haven't gotten it. Now they're telling me it was overnighted today (we'll see) and the amount they told me is way below what it should be and what my time sheet shows. The president of the company is now emailing me!!! I have wasted so much time and energy with them and wondered if anyone else has anything to say about them.
PROVEROS STAY AWAY
I also have had a terrible time getting paid by Proveros. They keep promising me that the money is in the mail - and it's alot more than what they owe you - but it never seems to show up. One time they told me it was going to be sent via federal express and I asked for a tracking number and it showed only that a request had been put in - no package had ever actually been picked up for delivery. I would recommend that you STAY FAR FAR AWAY from this company - they are not honest and either don't pay- or pay very very verylate.
Any new information on Proveros, Inc.? sm
How they pay, is there enough work, platform, how is management, etc., etc. etc.?
TIA
Anyone work with Proveros lately? nm

Looking for any info on Proveros
Anyone working for this company or that has. I am just looking for any possible good/bad information. Thanks!
working for Proveros
They won't hide from the truth and will tell you that they have paid late on occasion but they have always paid which is more than can be said of many. I reached the owner and he we upfront and took the time to talk and then follow up. Been around for about 3.5 years and growing fast with lots of work. They just started a great program for military spouses and seem very committed to us as MTs. Their only downside is what I said earlier. You want to work for a company with ethics and has lots of work - it's been great for me
Proveros Payroll
Has anyone out there ever worked or is currently working for Proveros? They say one gets paid after 30 days. It has been six weeks and I am looking to get paid. I feel I've given them ample time to pay me. I wrote an email to the gal in payroll, and she has not replied yet. I would think she would apply right away.
Sounds to me like Proveros
might not be where I would choose to work. It is reprehensible to wrap oneself in the American flag as a marketing ploy. That's one of the cheapest sell-outs there is.
proveros not good
If it were something good they wouldnt want to hide it.
proveros cant hide
This is hilarious. I am sure shortly Syd or Sheri at Proveros will whine to take these posts down. Because it is defamatory. LOL But you can run but you cant hide. Proveros is a deplorable company to work for for FREE.. Bottom line over and over and over again.. Pay is LATE or NON existent. Whine away girls at Proveros. We all know the deal.
Proveros and recruiter
Has anyone wanted to apply to Proveros but did not due to the person who is the recruiter for that company? I am wondering as I have heard from friends who did not apply when they noticed the name of the Recruiter.
My best advice regarding Proveros
would be for anybody considering working for them to do a background check on the principals involved and then make your own decision based on what you find.
Any positives about Proveros?
All I see are negatives about Proveros. Anybody work there that is happy? Low ESL, plenty of work? Anything?
Any info on Proveros
All info appreciated.
No, she works for Proveros..nm
sssssss
Email for Proveros President
At least the president of the company must have some class. This is an email I just received from him:
Hi Marla -
Your numbers are correct. I am so sorry!! I am sending you another check today via FedEx for the full $67.58. Please keep the first check for $39.00 in return for your frustration and time.
I will have the second tracking number sent as well.
Thanks for all your time and again our sincerest apologies.
Steve
Now that the dust has settled about Proveros.....sm
can someone give some details about the company, especially platform used, ESL ratio, lines required per pay period, and pay period intervals (bimonthly, weekly, etc.)? Thanks for all info!
Anyone know of Proveros? They sent me an email out of the blue.
nm
I got an email from Proveros about 3 months ago and...
it was sent by none other than Sheri Steadman, former keeper of this site. Of course I turned down the job - I had already read the postings on this board about pay problems. Upstanding citizen? Me thinks NOT!

Thanks for understanding.
proveros true colors
Guys, 42, 41, 30 days who cares. Can you see the attitude of the chick who keeps saying stuff is DEFAMATORY...can you imagine dealing with a person like this on a day to day basis and and then again when you DON'T get paid even after 100 days. Bottom line...they don't pay. Avoid this crazy Indian owned company.
proveros wins for worst
anytime the company PROVEROS is mentione THE BIGGEST a can of worms gets opened up. Because they cannot hide from all the MTs they screwed over.just read on below. Sheri is a total freak an so unprofessional as evidenced by her post and multiple alias' >>yet she recruits for Proveros?....MTs please do not give this co, even a fleeting thought. They do not pay on time ever ever or never.
DIT and Proveros allow split shifts
However, I think Proveros was just bought out by Superior Global or merged with them. It won't hurt to check them out.
Is Proveros a good place to work?
Does anybody think this is a good company to work for? Are they worth putting in a long term investment of time? Do they pay fair and on time? Good/bad accounts, run out of work? I was just wondering if anyone had any information and//or thoughts to share.
proveros NEVER pays on time or correct
dont do it unless you want to work and not get paid or very very late--either as a subcontractor or IC.
Proveros has merged with Superior Global...nm
xxxx
Superior Global merged with Proveros
Is this a good thing for the MTs? I've read mixed messages about both of them individually. Do you think together they will make a really good company?
I thought she was Proveros -- no? That's what she told me a few months ago. sm
Doesn't matter. To me, the TTS pay scale is too low. I didn't even bother interviewing with them after they sent me their email outlining the pay structure.
Sorry ... the pay late thing was meant for Proveros, and even then I have no sm
first-hand knowledge about Proveros paying late, just posts I read here. I know nothing about TTS other than awhile back I applied and with over 30 years of experience, they sent me an email saying their pay scale was 6-something cpl, which is totally unacceptable to me. However, it sounds like you and the other poster are quite happy there, and in the end, that's all that really matters. I am happy for you. :-)
Hope you and everyone else has a very happy holiday.
