Maybe the company you work for would give you an advance? sm

Depending upon where you work, how long you have been there, size of the company, etc., that might be a consideration. Also, maybe other temporary work, like Kelly Girls (if they even have that anymore). I know we used to have temps in our office that were paid every week.
The pawn shop idea might be a good one. I think if you don't have the money in 30 days, you can just pay the interest or whatever. You wouldn't lose the instruments. If you are willing to part with someone, ebay and Craigslist can provide some quick cash. Good luck to you. I am my sole support, and I have been in tight situations before and know how scary that can be. My heart goes out to you.

Work not taken-Give company a chance
I have been with Transcend for almost 6 years and while they are not a perfect company they are better than most. There have been mergers in the past-I actually came from the other MDI (which was a much more laid back company). As far as I've seen with past mergers you get to keep your work. They don't take you off it and give it to someone else. That makes no sense to have to train new MTs for your accts and you on something else. I know you are unhappy that you have to make a change but give Transcend a chance. They are a good company. Is it a good fit for everyone? No, but you won't know until you give it a chance with an open mind. And before the bashers get on and say I am management, I am not, just another in the trenches MT who has worked for other services in the past. As far as outsourcing, I know it is done but as far as I can tell it is not a lot. I work on 2 different platforms and both have plenty of work and have had for quite a while now.
MedWrite Transcription... anyone work/worked for this company can give me any info?
or maybe it's really a good company. Give me a break. If a company isn't talked about sm
on here, good or bad, it's probably too small to matter and does not offer benefits or anything at all.
I get what you are all saying about them not having to give give you work, but...
I guess I just figure that as an IC, I am basically my own business and it is my responsibility to make sure that the work is done when it should be. I just think that if the standard of the company is 24 hour TAT then that is what I am agreeing to do when they hire me. There are advantages for both of us to the IC senerio, they do not have to pay benefits, or take care of collecting and reporting the taxes, and I have to adhear to the 24 hour TAT (or what every thier standards are) but can do that during hours that are convenient to me. Of course it is better for the company if they know exactly when I am going to be sitting at my desk and typing that is why they have the option of hiring employees. Just my opinion and wanting things to be like they used to be.. I guess I have to get out of my time warp or look a little harder for a company who really knows what IC status means.
Can you give the name of the company - sm
I am in the process of looking for a new job and really don't want to choose one that doesn't pay on time!
TIA!
And, why don't they give their company name?
They should be up front about it. It would save everyone a lot of time.
You need to give a reason. Not every company
is a good match for every MT and someone may have had a personality conflict or some such thing so then they say it is a bad company. You need to list facts like they don't pay on time, their line counts are off, sound quality is terrible, etc.
Can you give us the first letter of the company's name.
nm
Can you give me any specifics on this company?
Could you give me any specifics on this company? I would like to know more. Thanks.
Does any company give raises?
nm
could you give initials of company? I have been done like this before and
might be the same company. I FINALLY got paid
yes, MTStars says it is okay to give company name.
nm
you can, and should, give the company name on this board.
nm
again, it's okay and encouraged to give company name
nm
again, per moderator okay to give company name.
nm
For IC status, that's an insult. Can you give us a company name?

I have been at Keystrokes a while and have to give kudos to what I think is the best company out the
not always great in the beginning and I left and came back a few years ago. I am so glad that I did. The changes have been wonderful. I think it is refreshing to see a company actually improve over time with growth instead of going downhill.
I agree with you!
Clever way to give-up a company name that doesn't
Company start with an "E"..give us a hint. If they are doing it to someone else too, then I&#
Throwing in the towel is one way of putting it. I've done this routine too many times.
Can you give me a hint as to which company? The same thing happens to me too and I am an IC. nm
xxx
it's okay to give company names, per moderator.
nm
I mean, any info you can give me about this company would be greatly appreciated.
nm
Can you give us the name of the company and if it's clinic or acute care? Thx. nm
s
Can you give the initials of this company to save others some grief? nm

Then you need to be professional, give a company website than can be checked out sm
and let people apply there. Why in the world would you expect people to get their personal info to you, if you are less than professional yourself. I certainly would not, especially after your post here.
Advance
Any info on this company?
They do not tell their MTs much in advance.
They just started VR with a few accounts. They do not tell their MTs ANYTHING that is going on. No one even knows how much they will be paid once they finish training on VR. In the past, they have lost accounts and the only way anyone knew was that there was no work coming in. Not a good way to win the confidence of the employees, but they know everyone hates having to find another job once you are hired. 
How is turning you down for a position rude? Are they, or any other company, obligated to give you
No. As a recruiter, I am seeing this more and more. Maybe the hours you were available did not match what they needed. Maybe your equipment or speciality or background did not match. How is it rude not to hire someone? There would be no need for interviews if everyone was just hired because they applied. I did not understand most of this until I started recruiting. The company I work for is spoken well of on this board and then bashed at other times. I see a lot of people that think they are entitled to a position or a shift or a certain account. It is difficult to be on this side.
SAW IN ADVANCE MAGAZINE
They are advertising for statutory employees, so I don't think they are doing away with us as this is a new ad.
Advance Transcription
Who are these people? I did a search and got nothing. TIA.
Advance Transcription
I worked for them for awhile. I left because their part-time was too full-time for me since I had a full-time account. They are a good company - no complaints. They were in the middle of changing formats when I left so I don't know about that part. They like instant messanging and require it.
GLAD in advance!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Started to take a job with Diskriter in October, but couldn't because a family emergency came up. Thanks from the heart of my bottom!
Advance Transcript
Does anyone know anything about Advance Transcript? Any information about the company and what they are like to work for would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, RadMT
Anyone read Advance
Overall medical transcription services organization ratings.... performance scores went to Encompass, Focus Infomatics and Sten-Tel.
Advance MTSO
Well, Encompass and Sten-Tel got all of the work from the medical group that I used to work for. The medical group used to employ lots of award-winning MTs. Everyone went to work for these companies, including myself. I went to work for one of them (will not point any fingers as to which one), and all 4 of my paychecks that I received before I quit were short. I had so many problems there. I didn't get paid headers/footers, and I only got paid for 1 space after periods. I was working on the exact same work from the medical group, and my line count was only about half of what it was at the medical group. I am sure that they did have wonderful performance scores, because they have MTs now that know more about certain accounts than the actual company knows.
We give up on your naysayers. Great company, but if you choose to believe it's fishy, your loss.

Is it safe to ask a company after one year for a raise? Do companies give raises?
 Curious
Advance any good 4 radiology?
Pay ok? Lots 'o work? Nice place?

Any info on Advance Transcription, NJ???
Anybody know what they're like to work for?
One question about TASpeed, thanks in advance
Is it possible to utilize MS Word's autocorrect while in TAe? Would I need to import them into TASpeed, or would it just automatically use them in conjunction with it? It does go into that in detail in the manual.
Med-Tech had job posted in Advance
xx
They gave advance notice to those that will likely
Shows they care about their MTs.
Anyone have info on NJPR in NJ? Thanks in advance.

You can go to a "Payday Advance" type
of place in your area and they will advance you up to $200.00/$300.00, maybe more and then you pay them back on a monthly basis. It helps when a crisis comes up, and if you don't or can't use a credit card. Hope this helps. Sorry to hear about this.
They had a long-running ad in Advance Magazine. sm
I called on the job. It was really excellent pay, got to work at home if you lived in the surrounding area and they paid relocation expenses. I really wanted that job but my husband did not want to relocate. I haven't seen their ad in some time though.
Any current information on Smartmed? Thanks in advance. NM

Correct, But don't write checks in advance b/c
if you write them Friday, chances are the bank is going to post them 1 minute before midnight and the paycheck hits the bank midnight. You will look for some nasty overdraft fees. Although the check is dd like clockwork and the bank knows it, naughty naughty to write checks in advance. Bad lesson to learn the hard way!
I currently work for KS..If I were you, I would give (sm)
it maybe a little more time, just to see if it gets better. But as soon as you really think it's definitely not for you, I would contact the client manager in the office and tell them it's not working out for you on this account. They have been more than fair with me and I believe they will do all in their power to accommodate you. If you don't know for sure who to contact about it, talk to Becky and she will either help you or direct you to the right person. Good luck!
I also work both until I am sure new job will work out. Then give 2 weeks.
:+
how do we work it? Easy answer - work for another company. That happened with the company
I was working for. I would wake up at 4 a.m. AND ON THE WEEKENDS TOO because they needed "coverage" supposedly and I would sit until 9:30 or noon without any work. Sorry, but my rent of $1450/month could not be paid with only $57/day. So I got another job and when I got the equipment and everything, then I quit for the other employer.
