would someone please apply and then post here what they REALLY meant.  For 16 or 18 cpl, I could QUICKLY become a RAD MT with or without experience (everything is relative, you know).  And if they upped it to 20 cpl, i would even take my C-phone and internet connection to Yorba Linda and work there!

So, I will be sitting by my IE just waiting to click on my MTStars link, click on Company Board, and find out that I can soon be making THE BIG BUCKS doing radiology transcription. 

But let's just keep this between us, just IN CASE they only have 3 or 4 positions open, ok?  Deal or No Deal?????

We are transcriptionists, not physicians.  We don't make any calls.  We transcribe what we hear, and they read the report and sign off.  It's that simple.  It always has been that simple.

No one here deserves the salary of anything more than what they get or make production wise.

Do you really think these MTSOs are charging a million dollars or what?  They make money by bidding accounts and then sub the work out whether that be by hiring employees or by contracting with an IC. 

I don't know where people come up with this idea that we are the bread and butter of these companies.  We are the worker bees.  Do a good job and you'll make some money.  I make twice as much now working from home than I did hourly with benefits and the benefits were crap.

I can set my own tone.  I transcribe to the best of my ability but by darn it if I can't understand what the dictator says, I leave a blank, and they fill it in.  That's what transcription is about. 

Below, you'll the link to the IRS page on this question. Paste it your browser.  Or, follow the link at the bottom of the post.

As companies exert more and more control over the work, it gets harder and harder to see how most of them can take advantage of hiring people as ICs.  I think the IRS has taken their eye off this ball in recent years.

One thing of SPECIAL NOTE: On this page you will find a link to a form called SS-8, which EITHER the company or the worker can file with the IRS for an official determination of your status.

It can take awhile to get this back, but in the meantime, if you're an IC you might want to ask your company whether they have filed an SS-8 for this determination, as the IRS recommends companies that use IC's file this form.

There is a certain company out of Sarasota who will advertise on the other board initals are PS  -- good company in the fact that MT week GIFT and during XMAS gift, however SMALL.  However, what I learned, is that if you question they will scr** with you.  Example  -- I did 35 reports for this particular company  -- out of those 35 reports it was 535 lines -- YEP -- and no, I'm not lying -- automatic line count  -- starred with another company recently 35 reports equaled 2100 lines --- HMM what is WRONG here?  I called company A today got the run around and after SIX emails --NO response I was terminated  -- I really DON'T give a hoot or holler and as an IC  they cant terminate me  -- I just want to forewarn and forearm that there are companies out there like that

I'm willing to bet we'll be seeing a lot more terminations with this new Impact thing.

MQ is concerned when it comes to covering yourself and what you THINK you have when you work for them.  You can be in for a rude awakening and you are left holding the notorious bag.

They are reporting we are in a cycle now and it will last a few years, so we should anticipate this kind of storm activity next year and the next.  These kinds of horrific storms have been here before so it is not all "global warming" so they say.  It is a cycle.

From 1900s to 1950s we had storms with 180 mph winds etc so we are in for a mess of them it looks like.  Good luck to you too.  I'm leaving national work as an income, maybe a PT but will never depend on it ever again at home. 

Mary Gleason, Digital Transcription. Do not work for, sole proprietor.  Will let you work 2 weeks and stiff on pay, owed over $200. 

The company that posted here a short time ago asking for PT/overflow podiatry work, COMPLETE transcription out of Texas, with the owner named Joanna.  I worked for her earlier in the year.  Got paid for the first month, but still 2 MONTHS later have yet to be paid for the other 2 weeks I worked.  Had emailed about it and was told she hadn't gotten an invoice, which she had.  I emailed the invoice AGAIN.  Still no check.  Emailed her yet again and have yet to recieve any response. 

Just wanted to give warning if you are working or considering working for this person.  Maybe this is a one-time issue, but I thought I'd pass the information along just in case.  I'd hate for anyone else to be stuck high and dry with bills to pay and no check in sight. 

By SIT transcription, this woman with the initials of AJ.  She also calls her company A.J. Transcription AND SIT (Southern Illinois Transcription)  You get NO account information, she refuses to tell you the name of the client/hospital/clinic....she does NOT want the MTs communicating and she is a witch to work for.  These accounts are NOT her accounts.  She contracts the work from various companies and she is not truthful about the line rate.  She will quote you one rate, put it in the contract, then pay you a totally lower line rate.
