I am curious about the same thing. (sm)
If given the option of IC or employee, which option is best, considering pay is less for employee status. How much should be figured for taxes, Social Security, etc. I read 30%. If adding 30% to the IC status wage, then employee seems best. Is there anyone here that can help to figure this out. All opinions would be appreciated. 
Yeah, all that I know but curious about the Hancock thing.
apparently you did not get that?
Transtech - curious
I don't want to work there, but I noticed a bunch of ad posting by them for recruitement. Aren't they the ones without work? How can they be hiring more people? That just bizarre.
curious, does TransTech hire PT?
Do you have to punch in and out on time clock and/or are they extremely strict with working specific hours?
SPi termination
I was not even notified I had been let go. My Chartnet account number stopped working. I found out through emailing them and a couple of phone calls that I had been let go. Apparently, I was supposed to be invited to a conference call but never got the message. The account manager I spoke to said that was probably a good thing, because the conference call got pretty nasty (imagine that). I did eventually receive a termination notice in the mail to sign and send back. I sent them a letter back with the termination notice stating my disgust with their policies. Never heard back. My advice is get out before they lower the boom. It's only a matter of time. I'm working IC now and am much happier.
SPI Termination
I was terminated via a conference call. I then received a termination notice to sign and send back.
Termination
I've never personally worked for Webmedx but I do know Jay Cannon personally; worked with him years ago at Medifax. I do not believe he would allow an otherwise good MT to be terminated for just 1 bad Q.A. I think there had to be more to the story than just one bad Q.A. score or else maybe a bad Q.A. supervisor or whatever the title of the terminating person might be. I wouldn't hesitate to call up Jay directly and ask him to explain if I was sure there were no other contributing factors.
Termination
Now I'm scared. Is there anywhere to go?
The only thing I have an issue with at TransTech
Is that it sometimes takes a while to get an email response. They will eventually get around to it but are obviously very busy. No other problems whatsoever, and I'm happier here than any other place I've worked. Particularly slow at the beginning, but they will answer you. They recently had their email server crash, but that has been fixed.
Per contract 30 day notice of termination for IC
I believe this is crazy.......
Yes, I realize that, but until the termination letter comes, I don't really

Webmedx termination question
Would one quality review slightly under 98% be normal grounds for termination, assuming no other problems?
This mama says the same thing about TransTech. My accts just happened to be atrocious. nm

Debate is one thing, and posting is one thing,
but this is getting absurd. I think it must be the same person, otherwise multiples who cannot stay on topic?? Why can't you STICK with the subject? The subject of my post was NOT what your cent per line rate was or is - I could care less- and not how much money you made last year, this year, or in your life, but how silly the comment was that your cents per line rate means NOTHING, that its up to you - some fluff like that. That is just so silly. Again, working for the same company, same account, is one going to make more money being paid more per line? OF course! This is so frustrating and really makes me so tired of reading this garbage let alone posting. Its like a nightmare. And also makes me completely believe that the original company must pay peanuts.
good thing it is a temporary thing sm
because people with your attitude don't stay in anything very long anyway. Nobody has to listen to that crap to keep their job.
You don't know me either. you can say old fart all you want (when did 53 get to be old fart....too funny) but at least I am a valuable employee who can get a decent job!
No. TransTech is out of Texas TTS is in New Hampshire. TransTech
s
Well I don't work for Transtech and this discussion isn't about Transtech...
and that is not age discrimination....give me a break...
Curious too!! I am on LOA with them, but would like to know!!

Curious?
Which "owner" are we talking about? I've worked there 2 years and never encountered a "moody" person. Matter-of-fact, I don't even know who the owner IS come to think of it?????
I'm curious
So many trashing MQ before they've read the new information. If you're that unhappy why do you stay? Why not leave before the packet arrives? Why not quit kvetching and moaning and go find someone whose practices and pay rates you find satisfactory.
How many of you are MTs with less than "perfect" skills and yet MQ keeps you on? How many of you work the required hours? How many of you do what is expected of YOU as an MT? My guess, having spent many years as an MTSO, is that many of those complaining are the ones not meeting the requirements of being a PROFESSIONAL MT.
Give MQ the benefit of the doubt. I've known this company since its inception in the 1970s and believe me, the packet is a good thing for MTs, for the MT industry, and for PROFESSIONAL transcriptionists who want to continue doing professional work.
I'm also curious if they
hire IC or FTE? Looks like an interesting company. I'd like to know something about them too!
Curious
Why, those 2 last names are partners in OSi
Now I'm curious
I agree DH is a good person, she's the only one I've ever spoken to in the office besides the techs. Curious to know who the swivel head might be. LOL Didn't know they ran out of work, wouldn't bother me once in awhile but if it became consistent....well....
Curious - What is SBC? sm
I have Verizon Freedom. I told them exactly what I would be using it fr and they said no problem, unlimited. I hope they don't call me out on it.
MDI-MD MTs - I'm curious whether you use
another expander? And if you use Bayscribe, do you use the Quick Bar? I keep going back and forth. I have ShortHand and Smartype of my own. I've tried all different combinations of using them and can't seem to find the right combination. What I like about Shorthand is that a box pops up to tell me/remind me what is going to play out when I put in a certain shortcut. The Bayscribe Expander doesn't, unless you are using the Quickbar. But then when I use the Quickbar I have trouble with it expanding stuff I don't intend to expand, especially when I putting in the header stuff. But a plus for Quickbar is that is expands instantaneously and I have found Shorthand to hesitate slightly and sometimes by that time I have gone on typing and it will do weird things like capiltalize a letter in the middle if I have pushed the caps key or whatever as I continue typing.
What works for the rest of you?
just curious, but . . .
Didn't the administrator ask OSi to confirm that they were offshoring before making a decision about banning from the board? Of course we all know they didn't get the truth, but I do think they asked them directly. If a co. is going to put ads on this board, don't they owe it to the adm. to be truthful? And I really think they would be. But my biggest question is why some of you people on here just persist on bullying people when they ask questions. It's ridiculous and childish.
I'm curious about this too. (sm)
I spent some time on the AAMT website and can't find it there either. Were you able to get an answer?. I may call the company tomorrow to ask them again before I make my final decision.
Curious...
as to why you only worked on it for a few days?
Just curious!!
 Does anyone know anything about a company called ATSI (american transcription solutions, inc.) also known as MT World? Just wanted some info on this company (the good, bad, and the ugly). Thanks
Just curious!!
Is the money the only thing that stopped you or was there something else?
To Just Curious
Yes, the subjects are similar and forgive me if this second post bothered you. My first message was directed at how to ensure I could get my first job back within the MT department where I previously worked. In this second message I was questioning whether national employers might hire me if I wasn't accepted back into my department. I was concerned how my two-year lapse working would be received by the national companies as I'm sure the dates will be verified by my employer.
I am curious as well
I have also taken the initial test and will be taking the second portion. Would also like any info anyone may have!
But is that at 4 cpl? Just curious.

I'm curious too!
:)
Curious too
I work for Cymed too, but I'm pretty far out of the loop about anything..just sitting home typing... curious though.
Just curious though...how many hrs PTO
do you get per year and how long before you can start using it. Also, is the PTO and holiday time paid at a flat hourly rate for everyone or based on your average? This is all stuff to compare. Thanks.
Curious
Are you considered an employee or IC with them?
Curious to know...
if the original poster below did indeed report them...or if the previous team lead did as well?
I'm just curious about something sm
What do you have to lose about communicating openly and honestly with your manager? The worst they can say is No, I need you to stay on X accts. If you say look, I'd be more productive on 1 primary - or whatever your magic number- although happy to help with other accounts, maybe they'll say Sure.
All you can do is ask. I asked for 3 primaries and 2 backups at my employer (Webmedx) and my manager was happy to do it for me.
just curious
how many different accounts do you have to work on in that shift to stay busy?
just curious. Who came up with the 40%? nm
Was just curious
I really couldn't care less about the insurance. I was just curious as to how much it was in case I ever do decide to sign up for it. I don't even get the insurance where I work now as I don't need it. I just asked out of sheer curiosity.
curious to know...
how did they change their pay? I used to work for them on an oncology account...stayed for about 1 year. I do like oncology but it was for a teaching facility and had mega ESL dictators.
Just curious
what company is TTS?
just curious
any information on TAIB in Maine.
Curious too
I saw the same add. Anyone had any experience with them? Their website says they pay 8 cents a line or something comparable, depending on the account.
curious as to
.
Curious
I don't think I would be in breach of any contract (which I haven't signed yet anyway) if I told you that my last day of employment was Monday, September 10, 2007.
Curious....
did anyone contact them with more than 5 years experience and what did they offer you?
I'm curious too, and about CMT...SM
I started in MT in 1985 and have never bothered to get certified, and it hasn't held me back any. I've worked in a hospital, a huge clinic, two several-doc offices, and for 2 nationals. No prospective employer ever asked me if I was certified (as an MT, at least...lol!). Don't really think it's that big a deal.
Curious
If that is the pay for SR, what would the cpl rate be for a seasoned hem/onc transcriptionist?
