you don't know when you'll get paid. The others I have no idea. Just my 2 cents.

I always got paid on time at Nicholas..sm
I think there were possibly a couple of times where it was 2-3 days late, but she always let us know what was going on ... she's a nice lady to work for, friendly and flexible.
Biggest drawback for me was pay was only 7 cpl at the time (about 4-5 years ago), and there was slight disorganization due to rapid growth. New tech issues, specs, staff changes, etc. Decent dictators, though, and I liked working there. I left due to the pay.
All that being said, I now have my own MT service, and I personally do not agree with paying ICs when an MTSO gets paid. I consider that a business expense like any other, and I allow for and recoup those costs from the clients accordingly. An MTSO's collection issues/methods should not be the IC's problem, IMO. I believe an IC has the right to expect regular payment for services rendered.
If you can accept the payment arrangement knowing there MIGHT be times you'll have to wait, it's a nice place to work, though.
You can ask, doesn't mean you'll
get the truth! Been there, been lied to, too. But wish you good luck in finding a good employer...
You can expect it, but that doesn't mean you'll get it.
I still haven't hit $20,000 a year from MT and I'm not a newbie.
Doesn't matter. It'll set precedence. nm

Horrible doesn't even begin to describe them. If you'll search
the archives you'll get more details and lots of people saying the same thing. You can also click on the post that says related messages (or something like that) in your original post and it will pull up other posts.
This company advertises ALL the time and it isn't because they are getting new accounts.
Amphion doesn't run out and if they do, you get paid!!! nm

Maybe you'll get your mortgage paid that way! (sarcasm) nm

Archives doesn't mean it is old info necessarily. If you'll go to the main company page, typ
JLG in the search box, make sure the MTStars circle is checked and click on search you'll find lots of current information. This is considered archived information but there are posts are recently as last week there.
First rule, never work for a company who says "I'll pay you when I get paid." sm
This is unacceptable. Any company with a decent client base gets paid at least net 30 days. I previously operated a small service and paid my subcontractors twice monthly despite being paid net 30 days by my physician groups. Yes, it was a hardship for me, but I brought those who worked hard to help me maintain my service first. Any company who pays their workers when they get paid, does not deserve to employ others. Plain and simple there is no excuse for this. Please, please find a company who values your work instead of using you.
OMG, Correction, brain fart, Axolotl doesn't run out and if they so you get paid. nm

You're supposed to get 12 hrs of paid training even though it doesn't take that long to learn

Nicholas
2 cents for blanks, 2.5 for voice, 5.5-6 hours a day, IC
I don't know who Nicholas is so
that does not tell me a thing.
NICHOLAS
If you want to email me, you may.
Nicholas
I applied with them and do hope to hear from them.
Re: Nicholas Transciption
The owner is wonderful. They have great accounts. You are not in a pool. You get your own dictators. The pay is on time. The support is great. Overall, a wonderful company.
Nicholas Transcription??
Does anyone know anything about this company? They have an ad for an Editor, but would like any positive/negative info before applying. Thanks!
Nicholas Transcription - SM
I did the test on Sunday. There were a few blanks which I thought were rather difficult but overall I thought that I did pretty well. I still have not heard from them. I have been a MT for over 11 years. Is it possible that I did that poorly or does it take a while for a response? Thanks for any help.
Nicholas Transcription
Anyone have any experience with Nicholas Transcription?
Nicholas Transcription
Any info on this company? Thanks a bunch.
Nicholas Transcr
Hello,
Did you test with them yet?? I was contemplating taking the test, but do not know much about them.
Thanks,
Maryb
Nicholas Test
Yes, I did. I was not a difficult test, basic knowledge of grammar. The dictations were clear and not too difficult. One was a little tricky. I'm thinking if the test was clear, then their sound quality should be to, if I were to work for them.
I just don't like most of these internet based platforms for the simple reason of the sound quality - the handful I've worked on can't be slowed down or tweaked. ExText could but not the rest. You can email me privately if you want.
Nicholas Transcription
Does anyone work for or know anything about Nicholas Transcription Company? I checked the archives, but nothing since 2004.
Nicholas Transcription...sm
Any current information on this company?
Nicholas Transcription
This company does not use a platform. You work with templates in MS Word. It is impossible to crash a computer using a template. Templates do not break hardware. If you were unhappy with the line rate than why agree to work with the company. When you are interviewed with this company it is explained up front what is expected of you and you are given a contract to sign again with what is expected of you in writing. If you can't live up to what is expected then do not sign the contract or agree to work for this company. This company works with each MT and if a problem arises and you can not meet your 24 hour TAT all you have to do is talk to them. They will work with you by extending additional time for you to complete the work, or have it reassigned. In regards to a $2 fee for the direct deposit. That is your choice, it is not required. You can receive a check in the mail, its your choice. If you feel that a company that provides samples, answers their own phone and email, works with each and every MT, requires no line minimun, has plenty of work, allows you to work on the same provider and not pull work from a pool, and allows you to complete your work at your convenience in a 24 hour TAT is a bad company to work for then perhaps its a good thing you are not working for them.
Anyone with information on Nicholas Transcription in NH? Thank you! (NM)

Nicholas Transcription/not Valentine
My head must have left me...I was wondering about Nicholas Transcription in New Hampshire not about Valentine Transcription. Anyone heard anything about them or has anyone worked for them. JMD 
Nicholas Transcription FTP question..
I'm just wondering which File Transfer Protocol they use. I don't mean to sound like I'm prying, but the last couple I've used I had a problem slowing down the dictation, meaning you could absolutely not slow the voice down, or even adjust it. It was the way it was. Now, how in the world can you start a new account without being able to slow down occassionally?
Anybody else had this problem? Are they all like this? I'm on C-phone right now. Not perfect, but I like it okay.
Playback Software at Nicholas
Gotcha! Getting my terms straight here So, I did my research and the software used to 'play' the voice is Professional Digital Transcription Playback Software )DTPS).
The few I've worked with always have that annoying feature where you can't modify the voice speed. Are they all like that?
I'm just wondering what the PDTPS is like at Nicholas. BTW - I made up that abbreviation - may not be accurate!
Thanks for letting me pick your brain!!!
I looked into Nicholas, but I felt that it was too risky
If you'll read through past posts you'll find lots of
recent info. Why do you need menitoring if you already work as an MT. Unless you do clinic work most companies will require you to work at least one weekend day, at least initially.
Doesn't apply if your OSI account doesn't use Ichart.
It is the Ichart only for OSi where you are cheated.
If you'll read the archives you'll find out everything
you want to know, none of it good.
TT doesn't pay for spaces or ExText doesn't
nm
Probably figure you'll want Way more than they'll offer, whatever it might be. :) nm
s
If you'll read more carefully you'll see
I was referring to AFTER she's missed out on a job, having a friend do sort of an audit to tell her what what was wrong with her test she submitted -- not cheating.
Training on the system, not paid, but if you are physically typing reports then you are getting paid
nm
Oh, yea -- PAID, too. Grandmother PAID LEAVE would be a great drawing card to TT !!
Just love that PAID TIME OFF !!
Any company that makes you wait to get paid until they get paid by the client
is not a company you want to get involved with. That's part of being an MTSO, figuring out how to cover your payroll while waiting to get paid. I would stay away!
Is this a live count of lines paid for or same as CTRL I that we do not get paid for ?? nm
m
Me too.. the outsourced company was paid for and paid me for headers, but OSI does/did not.
x
I have always paid yearly and have never paid or been assessed a penaltly. nm
nm
Be glad you get paid tomorrow. We are paid on the 1st and the 15th, so sm
since the 1st is on a weekend, we don't get paid until Monday. It will happen again on the 15th of August …sigh. It is the only thing I do not like about the company, though, so I guess a few weekends of poverty a year is not too much.
Anyone work for Oak Transcription or Nicholas Transcription- please e-mail me nm
nm
That doesn't fly - KS doesn't offshore
nm
Lori never paid me and now ETC has not paid my friend.
What is WRONG with these companies? 
Is it still being paid on time if you are paid on the 1st and 15th.....
and if the 15th falls on a Saturday getting paid on the 17th? My bank is open and posts on Saturday that means I am not being paid on the 15th doesn't? This has happened a lot lately.
At least you get paid, I would rather be paid late than not at all. Just my 2 cents.
nm
Yea, at least u got paid. Everyone who worked for TSI is STILL waiting to be paid
I don't understand how Jayne cannot pay us. We have christmas coming up. I bet her family has a fantastic Christmas because she is using OUR money to pay for it. I worked so hard for her and I know the other girls did too. How insulting that she will not return phone calls or emails or PAY us. How does she look at herself in the mirror knowing that the MTs who did all the work FOR her did not get paid. She even sent me an email saying I give you my word HAHAHA her word is nothing, obviously. Well, I will call the attorney for the THIRD time and see what is going on.
To the poster, at least you got paid even if it was late. I sincerely hope you get your last check.
He doesn't trust VR, or doesn't trust his MT to train it correctly?
Or perhaps his MT(s) has/have been filling his head with horror stories about VR and how it is a lawsuit waiting to happen?
Personally, I don't see any reason an M.D. would not trust a VR program, unless he's seen the products of a report edited by a less than competent MT who didn't do their editing job appropriately.
