That would force them to pay better or do it themselves. When I did QA for 3 years I was paid $20 an hour in addition to a line rate of 4 cents a line. I often ended up typing part of the report because there were so many errors. I would never work for 3 cents a line doing anything! Just my 2 cents...

Is it getting harder for anyone to get jobs now with all the people applying for them. How does
this seem to be going for most MTs looking for jobs. What seems to be the one factor that gets MTs a job before all the other 100 or so looking for the same job and what are the most desired qualities today that companies are looking for.
Great advice. Is people stop working for them, maybe they will start paying attention. I wonder if .
their clients know they do not pay their MTs to do the work. You can bet that Rapid Transcript is getting paid by the client. What a ripoff. Just the fact that they have an F rating by the BBB woudl be enough of a turn-off for me. Crappy business practices.
When did they stop paying weekly?
I just spoke to them 3 weeks ago and they paid weekly..
Your opinion we stop paying taxes, buying

Applying for jobs
Do you tell them how much money you want? Sometimes if you do that they do NOT respond -- you may be asking too much. I have applied for five jobs and have heard from all five.
I have been applying for jobs
and I would certainly like to know the name of this employer! I never want to work there.
I absolutely would contact the labor board in the state you live and then notify your supervisor of your intent.
I would type an e-mail to your sup and copy yourself that says your complete side of the story, just like you explained here, and then ask for an explanation as to how they are withholding lines from your paycheck.
Keep all correspondances!!!!!! Also, trying and print the IM if you can!
Just finished applying to 35 different jobs
I am so fed up with my current company that I just can't take it anymore! I decided to spend the time I normally would be working to applying to any jobs.
This is the best site to find EVERY transcription company whether they are hiring or not the list is endless and I just copy and paste my resume on the site if they didn't have testing. This is the site http://www.tiptopwebsite.com/websites/index2.php?username=mtjobfind&page=1.
I found it in archives here and it's such a great tool!
I did my best today and put myself out there, I once thought to just get out of MT but I think I'm going to just go all in as I just work when I feel, pretty much PT but now I'm going in headfirst full-time, really going to make the most of this education I paid for, why not!
So here's hoping javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
Advice needed on applying for jobs due to quit
I had hoped I would not be in the process of looking for another job but here I am. My question is this. I left my last job of 3 years as I lost my father about a month ago whose health began declining on Thanksgiving. My employer was well aware of this as a doctor's excuse to excuse my absence was unacceptable and our doctor had to fill out the FMLA paperwork which still ended up not being good enough. Go figure. I called my supervisor the morning that I found my father and told her what had happened and I could not work. She said that was fine and went on to explain that the company gives three day bereavement pay which honestly was the furthest thing from my mind. She then asked me if I thought I needed 3 days off and had I not been in shock, I probably would have let her have it. Hello, this was my dad not my dog. How heartless can you be? She said with work volumes (which by the way, they were telling other girls to flex their shift due to low work volume) they could not have me out three days. I was soo upset after her asking me that that I sent an email to human resources and the head of the company and boy was I reamed out by human resources for doing this as she said it was none of the head of the company's business. Why not? It is one of his employees who said this. In sending my resume and filling out applications, when they ask why I left this heartless company, what do I say? Am i being unreasonable and maybe should have stayed with this company? I'm questioning myself alot lately but still not sleeping well. I have filed for unemployment. I live in Pennsylvania and I pray that I get it because we have a 9 month old daughter and we need the income. I know if I have to appeal it, I will not hesitate. Forgive me for rambling, maybe I just needed to vent, I don't know. Just needed an opinion or advice. feel free to e-mail me.
jobs paying by the minute
How does that differ from cpl? It must be a bit rare to find ?? Interesting topic.
Thanks.
Hourly Paying Jobs
Can someone tell me if they know any companies that pay hourly to work from home? If someone knows any names of companies that pay hourly, please let me know.
Thank you for your help in advance
Sincerely Crystal
Interesting, "high-paying jobs" to WHO?
We are pleased to be able to provide commercialization services to technologically
not to the MTs, it is 40-60% cut for the same skill. Must be for the tech people huh
innovative companies such as InfraWare that will bring high-paying jobs and
investment to Terre Haute, said Richard Pittelkow, interim director of Indiana State University's Center for Business Support and Economic Innovation.
OMG!!! Can you people just STOP? Has it occurred to you
that IF they are hiring they are hiring for new accounts coming on? If you really worked there, you would know that they have brought on several new accounts and the worked has picked up tremendously. Give it a rest and go crawl back in your hole, please!
People need to stop looking to an employer to provide
insurance. The rates these companies are charging the MT, you could get private insurance cheaper. If you have pre-existing condition you don't have much of a choice though. A local hospital system is going to stop providing insurance for retirees. Other major companies are doing the same.
Medware's test hold people back from applying.

The moderators said stop correcting people's posts - not questioning medical reports -
The OP was talking about in actual medical reports, not on these posts - or at least that is the way I took it.
I too am concerned about the way medical reports are looking and being put on charts. It is ridiculous and dangerous!!!
I find it hard to believe with this new pay plan coming out soon that they will be paying people
that rate and I understand all offices will be paying the same base rate and I seriously doubt they will be paying all MTs 9.50 base rate with incentive to get 2 more cents at 1600 lines. That is more than they are paying most now and have stopped giving raises.
They got rid of people who WERE doing their jobs too.
I was there and had a lot of friends there. My QA lead was let go. Several of the MTs I mentored were let go. Some of the other QA were let go.
At least they seem to be happy with their jobs, which is more than i can say for most of the people
x
Maybe it's because they post jobs and never respond to people.
Has anyone actually had them respond to a resume?
If HL people know they are going to be losing their jobs, why are they still doing work for them?
:+
Forever, people had 2 jobs, not just MTs. And great
This is what i mean by you pilot your life, your life shouldnt just be floating you thru life. Over the course of about 2 years, I have made conscious effort to make my life work for me. Figured out what platforms I like, what type accts. What kind of equipment works best for me, how to efficiently handle docs and files. In word based platform, I am Speedy Gonzales as far as how I get in and out, how I process docs. Still spend same amount of time on actual edit and type, those you can only do so fast and be correct but all other aspects, I am fast. You find your fit, which is not a one size fits all. But, working 2 jobs is not the territory of onlyl the MT world. My dad did it while my mom also worked as RN.
In all fairness, the American people need jobs.
This post and the post about your as successful as you allow yourself to be (with near 10% unemployment, 15% unemployment in my town) should be read with a grain of salt.
American businesses are in it for profit, no secret there. But lets not feel guilty about them sending us into the unemployment line and critizing their decisions is just nonsense.
The poster is trying to make us feel happy for MDI and bad for us for not having a parade with balloons for the decision. ::eye roll::
Canada has added jobs and when I read this along with Canada's leadership not allowing the country to become a patsy to predator lending, and this is what you should be saying about your country and not do what you have to do business community - I'll be fine without a job. lol
Star Stop works better than express scribe. If you want start Stop, yea it is kind of sm
expensive. I wish they did pay their QA hourly as I think they would see better quality work, but they per line and it is higher than the other person posted.
I have never had a problem with management, so I am unfamiliar with what the other person experienced with management.
Pay is always on time (most of the time early). I like the software. I guess you just have to see if it fits for you.
I think people will try it and just wont be able to do it with other jobs and family things. nm
:
Stop taking these insulting wages and they will stop offering them.

Any service that offshores has US QA people. We're the ones stupid enough to take these jobs
and clean up their mess!
Awesome, it's so nice to hear from people who like their jobs and are positive.nm

There are so many hits on the job board for jobs that I wonder if people are qualified that respond
or just send in a resume if they are not. Would be interesting to hear from some of these companies what type of response they are getting.
How do people cherry pick on accounts? You mean like supervisors assigning jobs?
I did not know you could do that, but is that what you mean? I need to know because I will not work for that.
Yes but that means hiring a lot of extra people and paying out a lot of extra money when they can
have SE without all this. Their last report said they are making less money now than before and expect to make less in the next quarter so what does that say. We shall see. As part time employees you would still have to adhere to a schedule and I think people are SE for flexibility at least I am.
Sad but true. You're asked to work NOW, then asked to stop NOW, then go again and then stop
If you dont get off the minute the hospital asks, even if you have no idea that they have requested that your to be off, then the hospital MTs steal your work right out of your queue and I mean reports you have already done. I dont understand the concept of having a contract with a hospital and then having to fight for work with the hospital MTs. We should have guaranteed work during our shift and enough of the the hospital wants you to help right now and then a few hours later they want us to stop working as the work is too low. It is crazy and I couldnt work like that so I had to quit.
When I am renting, I am PAYING; when I'm working, THEY are paying ME. sm
Seems I should be running a credit check on the potential employer to see if THEY are responsible with their money, not the other way around.
Cherrypicking is when you work from a pool of jobs and being able to reject the worst jobs to those

Monster Jobs and Career Builder usually have a few path jobs. nm

Don't think any do except for those in-house jobs. Some QA jobs are paid hourly. nm

They didn't take our jobs, QT gave them our jobs. The account is now
back in the hands of US MTs, or will be in just a couple of weeks.
Are MTs that are looking for jobs finding good jobs right now with everyone looking or is it
getting more difficult to find a good job. I am most interested in jobs for experienced MTs with more than 10 years service. I wonder if it is better to put a resume on or just keeping applying or what is the best way to go about this.
Have you tried applying for
unemployment compensation while looking for a job? It might help to alleviate some of the pressure if you have bills to pay and might prevent you from accepting the wrong job out of desperation.
Good luck to you. 
Try applying elsewhere. I have 8 yrs exp. and most

thanks, I was considering applying
:-)
Are you applying
to MD-IT? All I know is I also am looking for info on this company, as they my clinic has outsourced all of our in-house transcription to them. I have an opportunity to work for them, transcribing the same physicians/therapists that I do now. However, they seem to not be too forthcoming with information. I am a little leary to sign on with them, having been in-house for 14 years. It is a little scary to me. I do not want to sign on and then miss the opportunity for unemployment/COBRA for a while and just take a break and move on. I don't know what to do here. Many sleepless nights I'll tell ya that much.
Why are you considering applying to OSI?
?
Won't be applying there.
Why do companies even allow this? It only allows the lazy MTs to make more money, leaving the MTs that will actually do all types of work by all kinds of dictators to struggle to make their line counts. This is why I am currently looking for a new job. I am tired of the cherrypickers on my account who refuse to work the ESL docs. You know what? I don't like them any more than you do, but I still do it. Why? Because it is my job!
Sorry, just makes me so angry! 
applying
I think you might have better luck sending resumes to companies who are NOT posting ads on the Job Seekers board. Looking at the number of hits their ads are getting those companies are probably already getting flooded with resumes.
Applying MT
Because they know we seasoned MTs won't just settle. Too bad we can't organize all MTs to not settle.
applying MT
I believe that transcription companies and owners do not want to pay for real transcription quality and are willing to hire the ones that will accept the 0.3 cents for QA and the 0.7 and up to 0.825 per cpl. Where is the real appreciation for the excellent transcriptionists? It seems that Transcriptionist is viewed more as a money maker.
I saw that and thought about applying.
Sylvan that's never been used, couldn't get it to load onto the computer, and couldn't get a refund for. I wouldn't want to use them again. I noticed using that software is one of the requirements.
I was thinking about applying
I work every sunday now, and I would really like my weekends free. I also don't like the software too much, and I have to pay LD.
Thanks for all the info you gave me. 
Anyone with exp w/ PMT in Kentucky? Am considering applying there. Thanks! nm
