I dont know this company but I would absolutely hold into a job I had until I was sure these
 companies arent playing games. I dont trust any of them anymore. 
Your fine as long as your employee, but if your IC, dont hold your breath waiting for a check.
Only employees get direct deposit. If you opt to be an IC, the checks may or may not get out and you may or not get them on a certain day.
Which one? My STM (manager) just told us sm
yesterday that we have 2 big accounts starting soon; the one in June is affiliated with a large west coast-based hospital group.
please dont tell me you that you were told to purchase that yourself too :(

NO, they dont. Everyone I have told could care less.
someone in India knows they have a cold.
I was told they dont pay for normal reports (nm)

It's all relative
Up here in the Northeast I couldn't survive on $14.00 an hour - not if you got to support yourself, which I have to for me and my three children. I average $25.00 an hour, and even though that's not too bad, even that is pretty much chump change up here. Every time someone posts a survey about how much they make, there's a lot of MTs that seem to make in th$30-$50 an hour range. I'm going to keep looking till I find a job where I can make $40-$50 an hour. Then I'd be comfortable with killing myself to get in enough hours all the time.
Anyway, what I wanted to say is that chump change is different to everybody. Personally I think at 8 cents a line you just have to work way too hard for your money.
Was it a relative?
a
cpl is relative
MQ: 10 cpl averaged (at the end) 160 to 180 lph.
At new company: 8 cpl, average 280 to 300 lph.
LOL - did you mean relative?
Although I do have a relative--sm
such as you describe, I have found that it is NEVER effective to tell her to *quit whining* *get off your butt and change your life if you are not happy* or *stop being a victim* types or responses to HER actions. It only serves to make things worse, and that is what YOU are doing, making it worse. You are NOT helping these people by yelling at them, and that is what you are doing, as well...yelling at them. You cannot *help* someone to *change their lives* by simply *telling* them to change their lives. Sometimes you have to sit back, quietly listen to their problems, and let them figure out things for themselves. Yelling at them to take control and change things on their own is only going to turn them in the other directions. You are not being, as you call it, *proactive*, you are simply dumping on the heads of someone who already feels like a *victim* and yelling at them not to feel the way they feel. That is not being *proactive* that is just plain being mean, and yes, I do see the difference, but you are not it. Sometimes people need to be taken gently by the hand and *guided* into a situation that would help to make their lives better, but simply telling them or yelling at them to *just do it* has never solved anything. ever. You need a good course in psychology 101! Yelling at people turns those people *off* and does not *motivate* them into doing better for themselves. You seem to think you are a *motivational* type person, but you are doing just the opposite. Leave them alone. Most of them will find their own way in their own time, without someone like you yelling at them to quit whining about their situations. Compassion and understanding is definately not among your strong points. Beind cruel and unkind is definately in your make up.
ESL is a relative term.
Just because they have an accent doesn't make them any more difficult to do than the average Joe. JMHO.
IMO, it's completely relative. sm
I have an account in Cquence which felt cumbersome at first, but then I got comfortable and produce as much there as I do typing, say, in Word offline. Recently I started a Meditech account and...hey! Cquence is absolutely wonderful compared to Meditech!! So my opinion of Cquence has gone up, for sure.
ESL is a relative term. We all know Dr. Joe EFL can be far worse! nm

Yes, "best" is a relative term but (sm)
I mean best based on info by MTs on this board and by docs in the industry who refer colleagues to this fast-growing MTSO. Guess which MTSO? I'm not saying  Actually, this icon looks like it is waving it's middle finger instead of pointy finger, so don't mean to offend and don't think I'll use it again (lol!)
It's all relative. Depending on where you live, that might not even pay for an apartment. nm

MTSO not loyal friend, relative. Best not to treat

I know I made over $60K as a QA manager. An MT manager
I am told is less money but definitely NOT as low as $36,500. I would not do it for $36,500.
The majority that I hear and see (and many are not advertised) are around $45K. You are giving yourself away for that. You might be working for a company that I received an offer from at one time. Great people but could not afford to work for that kind of money. Way too low to be on call 24/7.
I dont cherry pick, never did. I dont do that to my coworkers on my account.
What is the new status. I dont understand what it means. I dont need their benefits nor do I want
them.
I dont know what that means. I am an SE. I dont sit and wait for work I come back in when it is
there so I never had to deal with Amherst when there was no work because I just stopped working and did other things. My feeling is if this doesnt work there are other jobs out there.
I just dont want to hit that extra space if I dont get paid for it, ya know. No message.
nmnmnm
If I cant make QA, dont give me work. Dont dock

I didnt get the packet, do we have to take their insurance if we dont need it. I dont want it. Wish
I would have gotten the stupid thing to read.
Well, I know that MTs from my office have quite MQ and they dont post on here but I dont know how
many. I think MTs with MQ may be getting second jobs and just working for 2 different places at the same time which is probably the smart thing to do anymore because MQ will continue with this short TAT and as it spreads throughout other offices people will continually be running out of work especially after going on DQS.
You obviously have the wrong company. If they dont IM you, then you dont have it on..
I smell management. Nothing you said makes sense unless there is another Focus out there.
Sorry if I dont like gutter humor. Also dont like
x
I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to
:+
well then, maybe the only way they got a hold
of your name is that maybe you are from New York. Did you used to work for Ubiqus maybe????
lol, hold on now...
love the weather but the cost of living is high so my pay with my job versus your pay with your job might just equal out and weigh even. the good thing, though, is when we have meetings, we do the conference thing from home and use it as downtime.
hold
Anyone ever experienced having a hold put on a check they received from the company they work for?
I just did. The company said the funds have been released but bank still shows hold. I asked for another form of payment as I didn't want to wait for the hold to come off or possibly find the check returned and they actually had the gall to say, no-one else has had this problem. My reply, that's great for them but this is my situation. They also said, we just sent another check. Just what I need. Another worthless piece of paper!
Checks always late anyway so time to start job hunting again.
Why did they hold them out??? Did you
x
What degree do you hold?
I hold a bachelors in psychology and I wouldn't trade my education for anything. By the way, I've left MT and now have a great career in a completely different field thanks to my bachelor's degree. I'm now working towards my masters.
Hold my hand??? sm
How about returning my calls instead of hiding behind the answering machine!! How about answering one of my dozen emails!! Give it up Lee. You're just making the obvious more obvious.
Don't let that hold you back
I never paid $25 to get my check delivered via UPS, and I got it the following Tuesday. I believe they're mailed on Friday. FN is in CA, and I'm in CO. There are no guarantees on mail service, but I wouldn't let this hold you back. Are you considering part time or full time? If you're considering full time, why not become an SE and get the direct deposit? You only have to do 12,000 lines per pay period as an SE. May be worth checking into! Good luck! 
Hold your ground everybody
They should only be able to get newbies or Indians for that rate. It seems like a lot of companies are hopping on the bandwagon to try to get away with offering lower and lower rates. I have noticed some companies later on bringing their rates back up a bit though - probably because they can't get any good MTs at that rate - so HOLD YOUR GROUND!!! I think it's doing some good already. I also recently read that some doctors and hospitals are requesting that they work be transcribed in the US only - which is good news!
ESP is quite good. You might want to hold
off on spending your money on ShortHand since you don't already have your shortcuts loaded on it. I did buy it because I'm used to having it, but ESP is really good and easy to use. The only thing I'm using Shorthand for is my long normal reports, but it's not really necessary.
You are right not to hold your breath
Sorry, but as much as I'm for the concept of free enterprise our system of cRapitalism breeds corruption and greed. Watch for this industry to be further diluted with regard to quality, benefits, pay, etc.
That 'doesn't' mean good jobs aren't possible, just that ever since the cRapitalists discovered there is $ in transcription, the industry was exploited... and the winners will generally 'not' be the worker bees. The 'new' generation coming into the field will not have the history (memory) of what it was like before, and because these jobs will still be higher-paying than many others, and allow one to work from home, finding 'worker bees' will likely not be too difficult, especially with the advent of VR...
Sorry to be a bummer - hope I'm proven wrong on this.
hold up on that party
you may need it later.
Don't Hold Your Breath
She does have a brand new $60,000 vehicle to pay for first.... Guess where her priorities are?
Medquist does but I would hold off until
.
I can't hold this news.
Came to know from A VERY RELIABLE SOURCE that ***** ******** is working as QA for ****** ********(MBS Millenium Business Services).
See more info about MBS here:

They do expect you to hold to your
scheduled hours unless the work is slow. Then you can flex, but you need to make up your time later.
One weekend per month is required.
Hold on there! Now I must step in.
Don't be putting down people who like to do VR. I did straight typing for over 15 years and I am making the same, if not more, doing VR now. I was not a very slow typist, and quality is my first priority. I've been doing VR for almost a year now and love it. What makes it easy for me is I never really relied on Expanders to up my line rate since my hospital didn't really allow them, except for autocorrect. I didn't have an Expander until 6 years ago. Doing VR, I can't use the expander I did finally learn, but it's no big deal.
Like some other posters stated, it depends on who else is doing the reports whether or not VR is easy or hard. Some days, my reports are easy, other days tough. It's the same when doing straight typing. Some dictators are easy, other are tough.
I don't think VR is really made for large companies with hundreds of transcriptionists. It's made for the smaller companies that all conform to the same verbiage.
If you're good/fast/quality-oriented with straight typing without expanders, then VR would be good for you. If you rely on an expander to get those lines, you will have a problem in the beginning, but if you're flexible, it will pan out.
Don't down people because they like VR. You know what they say......try it. You may like it.
I hold that same grudge - SM
I remember the conference call sometime in August 2006 when Cymed management told us about SPi taking over. They were all acting like it was such a great thing that was happening and that we wouldn't notice any major changes at all. That was the biggest load of crap I have ever been fed by a company! I remember getting a one-line email from our account manager on Thanksgiving day of 2006 saying that she was leaving with no explation whatsoever. It basically just said, I'm leaving; it was nice working with all of you. I held on for a few more months to see if things would stabilize, but they only got worse. I quickly started sending out applications to other companies and got the heck out of there as soon as I got a great offer and I have been much, much happier ever since. I still shudder when I think about my SPi days!
How do you get a hold of Administration
Do not jump on me. I am trying to ask a legitimate question and would appreciate a correct (not guess) response. I did look all over the Board and could not find a link. If I missed it, my bad. If not, can someone help me, since I do not want to get YELLED at for asking a stupid question about a company.
Requesting Assistance:
How do you get a hold of a Moderator or Administration?
Regarding:
Using the Search For on the Board.
Question:
Are there any parameters that cannot be searched?
Yes, I am using the Search For box to the right of the Post A New Message box, and not the Google Search.
What I have found:
When I try to search for companies that commonly go by acronyms (for example OSi or UST), I do not get any hits at all even though I can see that they were just discussed a few inches down the page (I still want to see if there is any other information available from previous posts). If I search for US Transcription – all the results have the word transcription but not UST or US Transcription.
It seems to me that the search word has to be at least 4 characters or it will not find anything. Is that correct, or am I just doing something wrong?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
How do you get hold of WEBMX

rff
Don't hold your breath.
Especially if you are part-time.
Whoo, hold on a minute
Just heard a talk on this yesterday, true you can freeze your credit for $10.00 for every place you have on your acct and then when you want to unfreeze $10.00 again for the same, every company but what I heard is not that easy to undo a freeze, takes longer and more involved.
Go to 2nd page - " Can't Hold This News"
There is a lady's name posted and being talked like crazy!!
Most companies hold your first check
