I love everything about JLG but the recent change they have made to paying us with a paper check versus DD.

What are you talking about time clock?
I have worked for Transcend for 5 years since the MDI-FL merger and there is no time clock. Where did you guys get that idea?
No talking travel.MT worth is our time. MDI does not

I left them not long ago. Way too much time spent talking to
tech support because of technical problems or glitches with their system. I probably averaged 90 minutes a day down-time trying to get everything in order. Their transcription platform is not the best in the world from what I saw.
She was talking abt not meeting standards in a short time - sm
like a week. Doesn't sound like she was good enough to keep around for longer.
Not talking about lines. Talking about what you actually

I'm lookin for part-time work (about 3-4 hrs daily) after 13 years of full-time, anyone know of a
company that is hiring flexible part-time? I'm starting a career in real estate but don't want to totally quit transcription, but I think most places require 25 hours a week and I cant work weekends, as real estate sales are the biggest on the weekend with open houses and people off work to shows homes to. If you know of a place I'd sure appreciate the info. Thanks!
MDI-Maryland is an excellent company, pay on time all the time, great line rate.
I left also because I went out and got my own client(s).
They are very nice people.
The only negative I can think of were the e-mails from the owner say work, work, work, we are out of TAT.
Other than that, which is very minor, it was a good experience.
Not what I was told; 3500/wk part-time & 6000 wk/full-time. nm

Precyse Solutions is hiring part-time and full-time right now.
Saw this on their website.
i work 3 part-time jobs now. it can be confusing if you are learning both at the same time, but sm
other than that not a problem for me. best to get one down before starting to other or you might become overwhelmed.
MDI-MD: What are daily line requirements for full-time/part-time? Thanks! nm

I have one full-time job and 2 part-time jobs. It can be tricky at times, sm
but at least I now have plenty of work always. I have some big financial goals, and right now that seems to be the only way to accomplish it. I can't see any reason why it would not be legal -- why would you say that? I am cheating no one, except myself (out of sleep and a social life). Fortunately, I am single with no children or anything. I cannot imagine doing this if I had a family. At least my dogige understands. 
I've been there quite a while, pay on time, growth spurt right now, so good time to get on board,
new accounts and lots of work, and before someone says it, I'm not management, just an employee.
per his request I told him Time To Call, he called Not That Time, emailed me

Full time/part time based on # hours or
# lines per pay period, nothing to do with quality. The lower the quality the higher the pay it seems.
Solution: Find another job, part time or full time.
Post your resume, hope for the best.
Depends on how flexible you need to be and if full-time or part-time
They are a little more flexible if you are part-time. Not so much full-time, where you can be a little flexible within the day (not a strict 8-5), but if you are scheduled for Monday, you have to work Monday unless you request off, and if you are scheduled for a Holiday, you have to work the holiday, unless you request off. They encourage you to clock out every time you are not typing to keep your lph rate up, which means an 8 hour day can turn into 12 hours at the computer. If they run out of work (which they do quite often), you have to make the time up. They are also leaning more towards Voice Recognition, so MTs are getting trained on that, but not sure what percent will go that way. It does affect how much work you may get though in the other accounts.
They are advertising for full time HIM now, do they still hire part time? nm

It will get better, I hope. Too much time on my hands means too much time on ebay! lol nm
DVHP gives vacation time to part-time people. nm

Any companies out there where you do not have to fill in a time sheet or on a time clock?
I would like to do my lines and be done, and still get my benefits. Any companies out there that go by line production rather than hours to qualify for bennies?
OSi with part time health insurance and paid time off
OSi does offer health insurance and paid time off for part time. Yes, there have been changes. Yes, there will probably be more changes. I don't see anywhere that hasn't had changes. If they don't change they will be out of business the way the economy is these days, just like some other companies. If they don't make money, then I don't make money. So, what is so different with OSi compared to other companies? I see complaints constantly about all companies. I don't think it is the fault of the company that they outsource or use voice recognition. It just is life on life's terms these days. There is still enough work for us, at least for me. 
My thoughts exactly, why waste my time when you know you are only hiring full time? nm
nm
From time to time those paper checks aren't good!
nm
You MUST be talking about OSI
nm
see... this is what I'm talking about
This is good stuff. Thank you. Now about platforms. What seem to be the main complaints? What makes a platform 'good'? The one I work on has a screen where most of the demographcis are filled in, but you have to do a couple. Then you go into the report. I don't really mind it, but have nothing to compare it to.
I don't know who YOU are talking about
I don't really know who you are talking about nor do I care about what happened in Spring 2004. That was 18 months ago. But if that lady did have a company, I am sure she knew something about running a company. I was speaking about current stuff, and the ladies I worked for were absolutely THE most wonderful people ever. One even went to bat for me when the company shorted me some money. She stood up to the big dogs, and she won too!!!! What a wonderful, wonderful human being!!! She was a great TEAM leader, TEAM player, and made our team awesome!!! She made you want to work for her AND our team!! Never in all my years of working ANYWHERE (and I'm 45 years old...so lots of bosses!!!) have I ever found anyone that compares with her! I had (and have) many that need to take lessons from her, but none that compare or even come close! :)

Are you talking about the one in NJ or in FL? nm

Are you talking about the one that used the

Okay, we are obviously talking about
The Sten-Tel I am referring to is located at One Monarch Place in Springfield, MA. They do not use a payroll service. One of the owners does the payroll. Please state the address of the company you are referring to.
What are you talking about?
That's why it's the mess that it is. They were too afraid their fees would get frozen and they couldn't charge $600 to get a benign polyp analyzed under a scope(actual price, yes, from a bill). She mentioned the word healthcare, and the AMA, the largest world in the union (as the docs how much they pay for the medical insurance - NOTHING), squished her. We desperately NEED health care reform, but big bucks Bush (the one who says we need to give up our love for oil, even though oil is what is padding his pockets), and his buddies at the AMA (including corrupt Frist) won't allow it. So, it, along with everything else in this country, is going to continue to slide downhill. Bill was bad, yep - left good old Georgie boy a heap of money in the bank that he now has spent like a mad drunk.
What are you talking about???
In your 15 years experience, you should know that the proper word to use is 'accept', not except. I made the above post and have 8 years experience and am probably younger than you are. What part of my post indicates that I cannot 'accept' that this field is changing?
The newbies need to 'accept' the fact that this is a serious profession and that you must be dedicated and willing to work hard if you intend to remain in this field. YOU are the one who needs to GET OVER IT and crack open a dictionary while you're at it.
Now I KNOW you don't know what you are talking about (sm)
They don't have acct supervisors
Not sure if you are talking about same co. or not
Did you see an ad on MT Jobs? Spelling of name is different so I just want to be sure.
Just talking about it
I did not just talk about it. I cancelled my membership.
? I think you are talking to me, but I am SM
not the other person posting above. I don't link to an email because I want to be anonymous. I don't cheerlead for TH, it's just a job, better than some I have had but I have had better jobs in the past. I need the insurance, they pay on time and I make enough money to pay my bills. I don't think I can exactly call that cheerleading. I know of worse companies.
As far as the names on the list, I must have a different email roster than you because the #s you give correspond to people I know are American MTs, so I am confused about where you are seeing Indonesian names.
are you talking about use of IM ? nm

That's exactly what I'm talking about

You don't know what you are talking about
Medware has over 200 transcriptionists in India. They have more MTs in India than they do in the U.S. I gave Medware a chance. I worked with them for many years and in the end I got to watch my friends take a huge cut in pay when Medware decided all reviewers would make $8.00 an hour with incentives for ridiculously high production expectations that only about 2 people can make. I have watched the lead MTs lose their positions only to be asked to return to transcription. It is insulting the way Medware treats their people.
I am glad you like Medware. I used to like them too. But I am sure if you stick around long enough and start making enough money with them, you too will learn how they really are.
I don't know what you are talking about but
I can tell you that QA people do not get the bucks. They should, but they make about half what an MT makes. I do not transcribe, which is why I am in QA, so if you think we make big bucks, think again.
Companies have gone cheap on all of us. It is not MT against QA out there. QA has usually done their part in the MT world. If they tried to give me MT work they would be out of luck cuz the profession has about done me in and I would be on total disability from what it has caused.
The companies just have no respect for any of us. That's the bottom line. Don't blame your woes on QA. Blame it on the companies who have no other thinking other than the bottom line.
Anyone talking with MDI-MD? (SM)
I was called by the recruiter Saturday before last. She said someone would be calling me later to discuss the money aspect of it and I still have not heard from anyone. I emailed the original recruiter and she said the other lady had a death in the family. I waited until yesterday and emailed again and she said they have been really busy with a new account. Just wondering if anyone else is going through this. I have several interviews this week and would really like to put them in the running as what was intiallly told to me sounds very promising but I can only wait so long.....
I know exactly what you are talking about
I've had that happen so many times I can't even tell you. Worked 7-days a week for one with not a single day off in over 3 years. Gave notice due to health and not being able to work those hours anymore and got an email talking about how I didn't know what hard work was, etc. etc. Presently in a supervisory position, promoted only after 30 days to it, but told it didn't merit a raise. No overtime allowed but I'm supposed to be here making sure things run smoothly all the time. Head of QA on my account yet some of the new-hire editors are making more than I am. Even with all the supervisory duties, my line output for editing is #1 for the account. Does anybody care? Uh-uh. Spent all day on the job sites looking for something better. You'd think if you work your tail off and go above and beyond, it would matter, but it doesn't.
I am sure we are talking about the same
person. What I can say about her is that she stands up for what she believes in and she will not take being treated like junk particularly when she probably knew more than anyone at the company.
She has helped me find jobs and she also will go out of her way to help anyone in this field and I applauded when she quit on them. They did not deserve her anyhow.
Are you sure you know what you are talking about?
RAD MT's, I was just offered a position with them, my current company came back with a counteroffer and that is the only reason I did not go with Precyse. They sound like a very good company to work for.
What you talking about?
There was an e-mail today mentioning 7 different accounts that have extremely high volumes right now, and telling us that if our primary is low or out of work, to please come over and work on these. If the work on your account is being saved for the cherrypickers (which I honestly doubt), then go on over and work on one of those. Sounds like there's a ton of work out there if you want it.
What are you talking about?
Oh of COURSE they are. What I'm talking about is - sm
the even higher likelihood of mistakes, ID theft and other problems. Not mention that MT is basically done under close to sweatshop conditions in those countries. The poor MTs sit shoulder-to-shoulder all day long. In videos I've seen, I sure havent seen much in the way of reference books for them, either. Just a medical dictionary.
Oh - and actually, in the 'scruples' department, I really have a problem with countries that treat animals so terribly. Dogs and cats crammed into cages in open-air markets to be sold as food. And then often skin them alive before doing so. The so-called 'lucky' ones are clubbed to death first.
If you are talking about me (sm)
I am trying to save this person the disappointment. No attitude. I was being honest. I thought that is what the Company Board is about. Sorry if I offended anyone, it wasn't meant to.
You don't even know what you are talking about.
