Our company offers a wide variety schedule
Posted By: options. on 2009-01-14
In Reply to: Any MTs here who pass over job ads that require - Sun-Thur or Tues-Sat shifts?? SM
There are even folks that work both weekend days by choice. I don't see what the big deal is really. If an offered schedule doesn't suit you and the company is not willing to compromise, look somewhere else. There are a lot of options out there.
The S-Th/T-Sa scheduling must work just fine for the employers offering it or they wouldn't do it. Simple as that.

I sure agree with you about the lousy communication. It seemed to be a company wide
nm
I especially like that there's variety and sm
it sort of eliminates the boredom factor. There are days I do more than 8 hours and days I do less - that's the flexibility that works and I find I make more money than with just one 8 hour FT. There is always work on one of them at any time I want to dive in. Good luck!
Not confusion to me - I like the variety
IC is the one who offers a rate and the company accepts

Which company offers the best basic pay for Proofers.
what is best matched in industry
what company offers the best health benefits?
What company offers the best health benefits?
As far as:
waiting period before they start (I'm looking for 90 days or less),
how much they cost for yourself and dependents (I have myself +1 - spouse - can pay maybe $300/month out of paycheck at most),
PEC lookback period (preexisting condition - example - look back 3 months is better than 1 year),
pharmacy cost (I need a flat rate copay, not a percentage, with no yearly cap, and brand names and generics)
Anyone who has been happy or unhappy with their insurance through their work-at-home MT company, please share your experience and opinions. Thanks

My company offers webinars that count
No extra cost to maintain CEs.
It is definitely worth it to achieve this goal. I have been an MT for 38 years and finally got my CMT this past December. I got a $.50/hour raise. But it isn't about the money for me. It is about setting a goal for myself and achieving it. I felt so proud when I saw that Congratulations, you passed.... You can't put a price tag on personal achievement.
What company offers this? Doesn't sound famililar. nm

Is there a company who offers benefits to parttime employees?
Just curious
Seeking company that offers good benefits including insurance.
Ideally, I'd like to find a company that offers medical insurance at a reasonable cost for family (under $500 a month) and a decent line count rate. Anyone have any ideas on this. Thanks.
Can anyone provide a name of a good smaller company to work for that offers decent benefits..
I want to get away from the "nationals". I know there are smaller transcription companies out there looking for a good MT.. Hopefully someone will have some good advice for me.
Company with flexible schedule
I'm an MT with 6+ years of acute care experience and a mom of 4. I love working at night when kids are in bed. I like the company I work for but they are starting to get very picky about working the assigned schedule. I received a call today stating that if was not going to be typing for a 5 minutes or more I am to log out. The problem is that I don't know how long it will take to calm down an upset child or lookup a new medication for the report I'm working on.
So the bottom line is that I need a company that will be flexible with my schedule. I would really llike to find a company that hires ICs. So is there anyone out there that works for a company who offers a flexible schedule? I,m willing to run out of work occasaionlly and I love working at night and on the weekend. I would even take a pay cut to get a company that will work with me.
Thanks,
Mariah
Any company out there that allows you work without setting a schedule?
I am looking to pick up some extra cash but cannot really commit to a set schedule. There are a few times a week when I have a few hours (especially on the weekends) that I could type and would love to do some extra work.
I'm looking for a company that doesn't require a schedule......
I know - does that even exist anymore? I currently work when I want, just comitting to certain number of lines in a pay period. Are there any companies that allow us to do that anymore? I'm thinking it's time for a change.
didn't ask about your company, schedule or paycheck.

Need good small company to work for with flexible schedule - e-mail me.nm

They want you to keep your schedule for TAT purposes but will work with you to find a good schedule
I love working there.
World Wide
I have heard of World Wide in NJ, but not in NY. If it is the same company, they now also call themselves Metro. If this is the same company, I don't how much work they have right now, but I do know they are nice to work for, nice people, office manager is very nice.
wide window
5 cpl to 11 cpl
Some then have bonuses
Average seems to be 7-8 cpl
Those who are IC working for that are crazy, IMO.
Metro is not the same as World Wide
World Wide is located in Yonkers, NY. I have been in their office on many occasions over the past 5 years, and it is by far the most bizarre place I have ever had to deal with in my business. I dread going there. The brother and brother-in-law are literally crazy. The transcriptionists look worn out. Just recently they have set up a new business to offshore to India - so they may be starting to wean out US transcriptionists. I would never say this about anyone because I do understand that reputation is very important, but I honestly have no idea how these guys have held their head above water for almost 10 years. It truly is a bizarre office.
World Wide Dictation
Does anybody have any info. on World Wide Dictation in NY? Good or bad? Thanks!
World-Wide Dictation
Does anyone know anything about a company named World-Wide Dictation located in Ardsley, New York?
World Wide Dictation?
Anyone familiar with this company? Good or bad?
Has anyone heard of World Wide Dictation in NY?
If so, how are they to work for? Do they usually have enough work? Can you work part time? TIA!!
World Wide Dictation has an ad on MT Daily
for insurance claims transcriptionists. I tried Googling them and found them to be in Ardsley, NY.
If I had an icon I'd insert a wide grin here!
Ditto that! :)
Anybody get hired by World Wide Dictation and how is going so far? nm

To the person who heard back from World Wide Dictation sm
Have you heard anymore-got hired? I have a friend who applied and has not heard a word! She is not an MT (it said no experience) however, she has many years of doing insurance claims and would like to find something from home to do.
I actually switched from a M-F schedule to a S-T schedule...sm
because of the financial situation. I was offered a lot better money to work this schedule on a particularly picky account. I can live with working on Sunday evenings because that is when my 2 teenage kids, also very active in sports, band, church, driving, dating, social life, etc., etc., are vegging on the couch, relaxing for the evening before it all starts again. It was worth the sacrifice to me to be able to afford all the activities, and it really is not much different than working the M-F shift. I do have Fridays off to kind of catch my breath while the kids are at school or go and take care of business. I do not feel I have given up any of my life to work on Sundays. Most companies will be flexible on the schedule for Sunday because of church, family dinner, whatever. The way I look at it is later on, I may be able to switch to a M-F schedule if I am willing to give a little now. Even if I don't, to me it was worth it for the extra money and mommy time I get on Fridays. I am widowed so I do put a lot of time into my kids. This is just what works for me. On the other hand, it is ok to only want to work M-F, there is nothing wrong with that. You have to do what is best for you.
Two offers
I jumped at the first offer because I was on a long dry spell. The next day I got another offer. Same pay but excellent samples, directions, you name it. Better than the first company. First company is like typing in an old DOS program, second company uses Word. First company requires a different type pedal, second company (I USE MY OWN). Can I do them both?
I got many offers off of here
and two other places I can't mention or my posts get deleted.
MDI -MD offers 24 hrs, I think. nm
s
HELP, 2 offers
on the table.
One offer is Med-Scribe, FL. I did get offered the split shift that I prefer also.
Other offer is Medquist for more cpl. I was offered a split shift that I am not too fond of but need split shift.
I am weighing pros and cons of each and am stuck. Any info to help me weigh these two companies would be great......like what flexibility each has, anybody working for either, anybody happy with either?
low offers
I agree that there will always be someone willing to accept a low offer just to gain some experience. But, you get what you pay for. If a company expects quality work, we can expect quality pay for said work! The turnover rates would be a lot lower and the MTs (and MTSOs) would be a lot happier. It's a win-win situation.
Two job offers - very undecided -
One offer from Diskriter, part time (30 hours) PTO. They pay $12/hour for down time, including when no work is available. The other is Landmark, a fairly new business, but the owners seem really wonderful. Has anyone had any personal experience with either of these companies? Both are paying in the range of what I wanted.
TIA!!

IC, SE or employee? I have 3 job offers and
am not sure which way to go. I have little if any write-offs, so I'm thinking employee. The per line amount is the same. The SE offer counts spaces but no headers & footers and the employee offer does not count spaces but does count headers and footers and offers W/E and night differentials. The only real advantage I'm seeing is the greater flexibility with IC. Any advice? Thank you.
MDI-MD offers what you're looking for
They're awesome to work for. I'm on a super easy account, that I don't mind sharing the info on - it's for a hospital in eastern Maryland. The docs are easy, the platform is easy. I've even typed radiology for the account and couldn't believe how easy that was as well!! I have a 12 hour window, but I like getting up early and knocking out my lines in less than 6 hours! $$
I need some advice. Two job offers. sm
Job #1 is employee status/benefits, 0.07 per line, average ESL, plenty of work, great hours. Will have to buy computer and spellcheck software.
Job #2 is IC status/no benefits, 0.09 per line, no ESL,plenty of work, great hours. Will have to buy computer.
I have never been an IC.
I need some advice by those in the know. I really don't know what to do here. I do not have insurance through DH's job so it would have to be through my employer or private insurance, depending on which way I go.
Any advice by cooler heads than mine? Thank you.
Who offers BCBS?
What MT employers offer BCBS?
How is someone supposed to know who offers the best
medical benefits? Unless you have worked for every company you don't know how one compares to the other. If you have no pre-existing conditions and are in good health you are better off to get a private policy. Deductible might be higher, but your premium is less and with the money you save on premium you could put money away for deductible.
If you get a private policy you aren't tied to a company because you need the insurance.
Trying to decide between offers
Morning all - I have a dilema and would like some opinions on what you would do. I have been offered 2 positions. One is with a company that provides equipment pays higher, but I would be doing reports that I am not that great with and they are ESLs. The second offer I have to provide my own equipment and will have to spend about $80 to get what I need and they pay about 2 cents per line less, but they are easier work types and not as many ESLs. Which would you choose? I'm sure I'll get a lot of those nasty posts I have seen lately because you think it is simple , but I do know there are a few of you out there who will not be nasty and give me your honest opinion.
I'd wait and see who offers you the job
In this economy, a lot of companies are not hiring. While you may have applied with all of these companies, I wouldn't get my heart set on 1 until you've actually been offered the position.
With all the low pay offers - How's the PTO? see message
New job. Earning 3-1/2 hours PTO per pay period (2 weeks), which should equate to about 2 weeks per year until the 4th year. Only 2 sick days - period. How does this compare?
Transcend I believe offers
Who offers direct deposit for IC?
Curious to get opinions on these offers (sm)
Have an offer for 8 cpl statutory but a mix of clinics...have an offer for 9 cpl but acute care IC. Finally have an offer for the clinic work type I'm looking for but only 8 cpl IC. Isn't that low for an IC? Actually, since I don't want acute care and prefer clinics the 8 cpl stat looks better but it is with a company with a bad reputation but the other company that pays 8 cpl IC has no reputation so it is entirely unknown. I know nobody can tell me what to do but geez I'm using to making much more than this and have an account that pays well above it actually but I want to divide my time between 2 jobs and have an easier side account to supplement my high-pay harder one. Does 8 cpl IC sound reasonable or is this below par? Maybe it is worth it to take less to get the work type I want? TIA
I'm off today, all the time the day offers
Boy are you bitter. I actually feel bad for you. You sound like someone who isn't being paid enuf and has too many bills. and NO PETS - LOL. Pets will do wonders for a negative state of mind - how can you resist that little cutey pie!!!!
Just the way you say maybe that great job isn't... says so much about how unhappy you are with your life. Sorry. I got lucky and was offered a new job with what looks like a fab co. & I'm very happy.
I have job offers from MedScribe and TechScript.

I just got 5 offers of work after spending (sm)
2 hours combing the archives of the company boards. I then visited the sites of the services that were spoken of the most highly and which seemed to best fit my needs. Most of the service sites had testing/inquiry pages set up; those that didn't, I wrote a brief email, noting how well the service's ICs spoke of it, enclosed my resume (in the letter, not as an attachment), and asked if they needed help. Most responded. The companies that advertise, on the other hand, get between 200 to 500 resumes; unless one is one of the first responders or in some other way manages to stand out, the chances of even receiving a response are slim. Check the ads on For the Record and Advance; Google for lists of MT companies. There is still lots of good work out there.
DKMWRU is posting job offers. Does anyone know anything about it? sm
I'm reluctant to send my resume to companies which do not readily identify themselves. I wish there were rules for job posters to follow.
QT medical I think still offers the choice
of WP51 or Word use.
