I worked there for about 6 weeks and never once had a full 8-hour day of
work. Ended up working my scheduled days off to get my time in.
Yes, they offer I think 4 weeks at full pay or 8 weeks at half pay. Call the office
and talk to them about it. You wont lose your job. They aren't like that.
I worked for them for two weeks
They advertised they had ASR and that is what I wanted to do. They do not give you ASR. They new that is what I wanted to do and they gave me an account WITHOUT any ASR. They also have different systems for different accounts, i.e. dictaphone for one account, something completely different for another. You have to download it to your personal computer, they do not have any to send you. Also they foot pedals did not work. I think what was worse for me is they claim to be based in the United States but the only people I talked to were all Middle Eastern. Their tech people, supervisors, etc. I even heard their QA were based in India. (the ones that QA our work). I did not have a good experience with them at all.
I worked there for about 6 weeks and
also left. You cut and paste from the demographics into the report itself. I left because I could not get 8 hrs a day in through the week, required to work a weekend day, and then would either run out or have no work, so never got 40 hours in.

After two weeks, the work got slow and it took forever to find out what was going on. They had lost the account but wouldn't tell me. They offered me something else but it was garbage and I wouldn't take it. Nice people, but nice doesn't bring in a paycheck.
I work for FN but worked for MDI-MD for a few weeks...Go with FN! sm
I agree with the other poster. Futurenet is great! They are very respectable. A lot of working is going to SR now though. That is the only downfall I have for them. But they work with you on everything! If they offered benefits, which they don't, I don't think anyone could beat them whatsoever. Pay is ontime EVERY time! Excellent staff! I have been there for a little over 2 years and have thought about going other places ONLY for benefit purposes but I just can't! They are too good to leave! I will be with them as long as they will allow me to. Couldn't picture myself working for anyone else!
I worked for them last fall for a few weeks, pay was
9.5 cpl, but always ran out of work and still after 6 weeks they never got around to giving me a second account, even though they said they would. Left after that.
A couple of weeks ago I worked
for Landmark for just a few hours. On interview I was asked if I was familiar with a certain platform and said I was not. I was asked if I was willing to learn. I was more than happy to do that. After all, that gives you more employment possibilities in the future.
Got set up, and was basically just told to do the work. I thought learning a platform meant there would be some training, at least a sheet of paper with some instructions. I received zip even with asking. I emailed the trainer 3 times which I guess was her limit because she only answered the first 2. I waited 24 hours for a reply. With none, I quit.
I earned a little over $40. From what others are saying, I guess that is money I will never see.
Sounds like a company I worked for. I did get paid in full but I sure know how you feel!
Can you post or email me just the initials of company and I'll let you know if this is the same one. It has happended to me by more than one company in my time as an MT
I worked for them for a few weeks. Very nice people (sm)
I just could not make their minimum and found platform to be cumbersome - but it may have just been me.
I worked for them recently for a few weeks and left because of SM
low/no work. No hard feelings.
I worked at Diskriter for 6 weeks, constantly

Have worked for them 8 weeks, haven't received a check yet. -nm
I've worked for Ubiqus for 2 years now and I get paid every two weeks.
I really enjoy the work because it's advisory board meetings, round table discussions, and big conferences of all fields of medicine. I started with them right after I graduated and I've never done any of the doctor dictation, I like this work better.
I worked for a temp agency for 3 years..LOVED it. Just worked. No counts, no hassels, GREAT pay..
No benefits at the time. I even learned pathology while temping (8 months on that assigment). I loved the variety, the ability to say I'm not available such and such time. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I didn't need benefits.
A company is ONLY supposed to verify that someone worked there, what dates they worked, whether PT o
and last date worked. It opens everyone up to a lawsuit if more is given, so most companies are told by their attorneys and business advisors to verify only.
No one has a right to a reference, only verification of employment.
It worked! Latest suggestion from DJ's email worked. nm

If I worked a longer day, I just put my regular shift, 3p-11p, or whatever. If I worked sm
an extra day, then I was told to fudge the hours around on the other days so it all came out to 40. I didn't really mind -- have learned not to expect overtime in this profession -- and I was happy to be able to work whenever I needed to get the lines I needed. However, them telling me directly to fudge on my time sheet would seem to be a violation of the wage and hour laws. I suppose it doesn't matter now if they do not even have enough work to make the minimum line count necessary. Several of the companies I thought were golden seem to have gotten a bit tarnished lately … sad.
ek is full of it.
sorry ek but you have been outed.
you are full of it

OMG but you are full of yourself! sm
You know, we really want to be behind you cos I'm sure all of us would HATE to be in your friend's shoes, but you sure are alienating all of us with the way you respond to us.
Please remember where your anger should be directed -- toward the guilty party, not US.
And telling us what to post is really over the top. (Support the post or don't write anything please.) This is a public forum and we are all entitled to our own opinions, and just because you said to not comment on how the situation got to where it is now does NOT mean that we have to comply. If someone is curious, they have every right to ask. You may choose not to answer, however.
As far as I know they only pay if you have AT&T. I'm full-time also and don't get anything fo

Yes, thank you. I didn't have the full name.

JLG does for full time.
They do not for part time though.
consider the MT already has a full-time job, though

Keystrokes Full
I've interviewed with them, went through the process, only to find they have no openings for what I'm looking for at the moment. I type the big 4 and ER. Think they had clinic available, but not interested......
Full timer here
I work as an Editor for them. The platform couldn't be any simpler, honestly. Good mixture on most of the accounts as far as ESL/other. Growing like crazy!! The bonuses are for real as well. Very nice folks to work for and plenty plenty of work; in fact they are trying to get more MTs on board to be able to stop sending so much out.
Full time
Thanks for the info!
Is that full or part?
No message
Can you tell me what they consider to be full-time? TIA nm

I would rather not give the full name...sm
of the company with the line counting issues, but they are out of Florida and start with an M. There have been several posts lately about them running out of work and a major change in management. Hopefully, that is enough information for you. 
Use full name of owner. nm
I do VR full time...
The best platform by far is Escription which is very productive. I was nervous about VR too but even with 50% pay per line I am making a lot more money overall. I do have some typing but the older the account is the better the VR is. Some notes i barely have to edit now. If I straight type I average around 200 lph (acute care) but on VR I do well over 500+. Escription learns indefinitely, so the longer the account has been there the better it is. I try to keep my lines per hour on VR at least above 250 which even on a brand new account has never been an issue, so I have made out. The typing break is great and I absolutely love it. If you have more specific questions, feel free to email me. (I am just an MT and not management for a company or anything like that.) 
For full-time
line count is 11,000 per pay period and for PT it is 5000. They're pretty reasonable on QA, not nearly as bad as other companies.
positions are all full

full time
full time pay scale for IC 3000 lines 7.5 cpl, 6000 9 cpl anything above 6000 is 10 cpl.
I actually came full circle...
I'm back working with the same wonderful ladies who hired me back in 2002 when I first moved to Maine. They are just a small local MTSO and they are absolutely the bees knees to work for...I couldn't be happier. Well, I mean, unless I won powerball or something--then the grin would be really hard to smack off my face. 
45K full time.

If and when you do go full time - please keep us
posted. I will be interested to see if it continues to be easily 250 lines per hour. Some companies take the good part timers and lure them into full time just to dump horrible dictators on them. Let us know if this happens to you.
I think most recruiters are full of HOT AIR, and -
during the recruiting/testing/hiring process, they promise a heckuva lot more than the company ever actually delivers. There are already too many 'suits' lurking on this board, as it is.
Should have said this is a full-time
requirement. Part-time is much less.
wow...you definitely have your hands full...
I have a 2-year-old daughter at home with me while my 9-year-old son is in school...she is fairly good about playing by me, et cetera, so really I think I have it easy as far as she is concerned...but I am most productive while she is napping in the late morning...since yours are so little, I would say waking up before they get up in the morning to work, working during nap times and then possibly later on when their father gets home from work so he can help take them off your hands for a bit...good luck...it is hard work but it can be done...
Want a schedule? Then I want full ...sm
benefits, PTO, insurance .... the works. Because that is what we're giving up as an IC in exchange for the freedom of a flexible schedule.
Sorry, MTSOs... you can't keep having your cake and eating it, too....Need someone glued to their chairs? TOUGH! 
Beg to differ full QA with The T co. SM
The T. will put you on full QA and KEEP YOU THERE (like they say in England, Until her majesty's pleasure becomes known.)
And there is a certain QA queen bee there that loves doing this, bec. it gives her something to do, and let mgmt. justify her job. The MTs will be unfairly be put on QA for usually a minor, demographic issue, that is the client's responsibility in the first place, and which work is UNPAID WORK to begin with. But, MTs will put up with it as long as they allow this kind of treatment.
What is the full link? nm
Thx
Full Circle
Was wondering if anyone has heard of this company or has worked there? Appreciate any info... TIA!
full circle
I have never heard of this company before their post. What puts up a flag to me is I believe this is the same Donna Heusner that worked with Debbie at eTranz that did not like to pay, but PLEASE do your own research to make sure.
Full Circle
Did not mean to sound nasty, just did not want anyone who did not know to confuse one with the other and get eTransPlus in any trouble.
This post is full of it. sm
Does SS fit everyone? No! Does it work for some? Yes! If you want to get paid on time, they do. If you want work? It is there. There are mentors to help you but you can't ignore their phone calls if you need help. Many do unfortunately and therefore it limits what the mentors can do. In my OWN opinion, SS is a good company to work for.
Full time
A lot of foreign docs...
Full of info
I agree with you. I tried to deal with this issue directly with management and my liaison and received absolutely NO response. That is so un-MDI-like that I found it alarming. And I do not think people are indulging in wild speculation; they are trying to analyze a problem that could impact/impacting their lives. (I bet I am not the only one who wonders how mortages can get paid without adequate income.....)
