Do they hire part-time?   Do you need a C-phone or are they internet based?

Thanks 

TTS does this to all of  ICs. She literally will call MTs and threaten your job because you are not on the schedule for your hours.  I was let go because of not working my set hours, yet I did my line count on a daily basis that I said I would do.  Who would you report this to?  Would you report to the DOL or the IRS? 

Does anybody know if their benefits package includes a decent medical insurance plan?

Also, does anyone know what their internet platform is like (I think it's called Apex?).  Good, bad, etc?

1.  Do they have a production incentive/bonus? 

2.  Where I am right now, if I work even a minute over my 8-hour shift, I have to e-mail my supervisor explaining why.  Is KS that strict, or do they allow you to go over a little?  I don't even care if they pay OT or not, just want to finish my job without worrying about the time.  (Sorry, threw in a little vent there.)

Thank you!

Do they have a consistent workload?

Heavy ESL?

Their benefits package seems amazing, their requirements seem very well detailed and they seem very structured in general.  I like the black-and-whiteness of it. They seem to have their biz together.  Anyone that can verify?

Any loopholes on their behalf from anyone's experience, such as docking for errors, exreme nit-picking (although my accuracy is excellent thus far).  I'm hoping they're not a company that portrays themselves as reputable, family-oriented, professional, etc. and then harass and turn into monsters once you're on board.  Thanks!

to here goes...firstly, I don't know about the platform, only that it is Word based. Secondly, I have many years cardio, and thirdly, no the test was not hard. Still looking for any answers to my questions above. Thanks in advance.

Lee Perfect I believe and TTS.  Try putting your resume up as well.  I got a ton of hits off of here and another transcription job board and another job website.  Not allowed to give you names of the sites though.

Hired for new account that didn't come on-line as projected.  Extended training/staging time that at least we got paid for, but half of what I make transcribing and then when we went live there was no little work for week we were lucky to get 4 reports a day.   Other accounts were low so couldn't give us a backup, but looks like most accounts are back to producing again and lots of OT now. 

My situation isn't quite the same, but the result was the same and I sympathize with you.   When you have bills to pay you need to be making the lines. 

If it is the same company, they pay weekly (nice), and are such nice people.  Everyone in the office was readily available to answer questions.  The only downside was they did not have a platform at that time.  Work was received and sent via FTP files, and I prefer to work on an actual platform.

...If you deposit a bad check, you own bank will probably charge you a service fee for having to handle it.  I was charged a $38.00 (same as their bounced check fee) fee when I deposited somebody's bad check.  This is one of the reasons stores have a policy of charging you a fee if you pay with an NSF (insufficient funds) personal check.  They get charged a fee by their bank for depositing it. The banks get cranky about the bookkeeping involved, posting the amount, debiting it out again, etc.

Second, I am assuming you work at home and the company is not in your home town.  Therefore, the crime of writing bad check will probably be considered to have occurred where the company is located.  Good luck dealing with a bad check across state lines. 

I'm assuming the check is for a few hundred dollars.  In my city, there is something called night court which is an after-hours service of the city prosecutor's office.  It basically is a small-claims/arbitration court and you can go talk to an assistant prosecutor about the problem.  They may send a summons to the check writer, but it really will not require them to appear.  Some people are frightened to get such a notice, but if they are in another state, what can be done to them for a relatively small check?

You might have a mail fraud angle on this, since they mailed the check to you. I don't suppose you saved the envelope?  Postal inspector might be someone to contact.  Just a thought.   

and I really am over it.  Went through a false start with a company that looked like it would be a long-term home for me, but wasn't.  (This time, I was the one who said good-bye after a year.)  Now I'm with a company that I really like. 

Have you not noticed that the trend with employers nowadays is to fire you and have security escort you off the premises?  They do this so that discgruntled soon-to-be-ex employees have no time to mess things up on their way out rhe door.  Sure, SPi (a Philippine-owned company)  knew that the plan was to dump all of us when they acquired CyMed, but it was just  'good business' to play their hand close to the vest until they were ready.  They wanted us to want them, until they no longer needed us.  They needed us to work during the transition to offshore.  Then they were through with us.  At least I got unemployment.

This happened to the employees of the local branch of a national restaurant chain.  It was my favorite breakfast place and the company was closing restaurants all over the country, but the locals were assured that this was a profitable shop (it was always crowded) and they would be okay.  Right up until the morning they reported to work to find a sign on the door that the place had closed.  Had the corporate office given them notice, many would have found other positions prior to the closing.  What would the company have done then?  They weren't quite ready to close and needed those people to keep the place staffed until they were ready.  Dog eat dog world.

So I'm a lot more proactive now and at the first rumblings of a problem my resume goes out there.  This is what happened with my last job.  Things started to seem 'just not right' and so I found my current job.  But if I become uncomfortable here, I'll start looking again immediately. 

If your company is constantly getting bashed and wrongfully so, then wouldn't standing up for them be the right thing to do?  Anyone who could make around the $50k you say you could make in 8 hours is indeed fortunate; most MTs I know personally and those on this board aren't so fortunate.

Secondly, what is it that you think they should do?  Jobs of any kind are pretty scarce due to the tanked economy.  The MT business particularly sucks when you have a great many MTSOs offering 5-6 cpl for experienced MTs.  So what do you suggest they do?  Go back to school?  I hear education all the time but exactly which career should they pursue that will ensure that they can get a job when they finish this education?  Anything that can be offshored is being offshored.  We are in the market for a new truck and we have always been pro BUY AMERICAN.  Hubby told me this evening that Ford is out because they are building 2 new plants in CHINA!  So the taxpayers (and these poor MTs ARE taxpayers) bail out the auto industry and THEIR money is used to build up the economy in another country.  Something VERY wrong with that.
