No, the above poster is correct. sm
Self-employment tax is Social Security like she said. You pay the whole amount. As an employee, your employer would have paid half of it. When you get your yearly social security benefit projection statement, it shows you paid Social Security tax.
what above poster said is correct
I was hired on 2 weeks ago and that is what I am contracted for. Doesn't matter how many hours I work as long as get 700 lines/day and either work Sun-Thu or Tue-Sat.
I like Sun-Thu so I can at least get Fri/Sat off.
Poster not correct below. OSI was NEVER
In 20 years, the only company I have known to require on-site training for 3 days, and having to pay your own expenses is Silent Type in NJ. OSi is not that company. That said, there were constant complaints for a long, long time on here that there was no work, constant overhiring, and completely incompetent management staff. I turned down an offer several times based on the very detailed explanations of work situation. I also did accept an offer once, after verifying up front with recruiter that there were to be no out-of-pocket expenses for me equipment wise, etc., only to accept and get an email contract within seconds, stating all the costs to me for equipment! So, bunch of bologna, yes. Training on site in NJ? Not true. Hope this helps.
Above poster is 100% correct...sm
I had to get someone (a mediator you might call it) to step in and get this woman to pay me...She paid me, but any MT should NOT have to go thru all this just to get their pay. She is a something else.
Also, the clinic at the time did NOT even know she was outsourcing the work. Yes, I did call them and they did not know a thing about it at the time.
Above poster is correct...sm
and the owner is always worrying about if someone is doing something underhanded to her or her business.

This poster is correct. I left in a few days
because the person I reported directly to was extremely verbally abusive and for no particular reason. I had the toughest ESL account and got 100% QA and decent line counts. But I have been through a lot in life and believe me, I could spot an abusive person when I see it and these type of people never changed, so I left. If other people do not see that side of her or refuse to admit to this fact, that it their choice. But to discount what this poster said is wrong. She is telling the truth and I will vouch for it.
Phoenix Medcom- Another apply a few months back, ask to take a test and never heard back??
I applied a month or two ago, received an email from someone asking if I would take a test and said she was getting ready to go on vacation for a week, so I hurried and immediately and told her I'd love to take the test. I never heard back. I waiting thinking she went on vacation and would contact me when she got back to do the test but nothing...very strange..Just wondered if this happened to anyone else.
Has everyone heard back from Keystrokes yet regarding the email we received a while back?
Just wandering why I haven't heard any response yet.
I sent them an email back in August and never heard back sm
Is this company on Long Island? I checked out their website and even tried calling once. Were you successful in contacting them? All i know is that the company is owned by some doctors.
Hopefully, you will hear back. Unfortunately, I immediately heard back from MD-IT
but somehow with over 16 years of experience, I blew the test. I was soooo disappoionted and yet pretty stunned. I am by no means perfect but I haven't flunked a test in years. I expected it in my early years but not this far down the road. I was so confident and they will not tell you which part you did not pass and why so it really just blew my mind. I must have been in shock for like two hours after I got the email. Oh well, someone will want me....hopefully. I was thinking about OSi but I don't think I could take another rejection if I never heard back.
Don't know what they pay, but a poster a few pages back said Rad w/them was awful! nm

Note the above poster did not come back today and say she did not get paid.
I would like everyone who followed this thread to note this poster that had so many negative things to say about Cardioscribes, where she says she works, did not post she did not get her paycheck today. That should be the answer to the this whole thread. Also, I offered to help whoever was saying she does not get her line count or pay, and not one person contacted me. Again, I think that speaks volumes.
The poster requested some information to back up the allegations - sm
I am very interested and would like to see some recorded history myself.
Never Heard Back
I sent a resume to Acetera, got a call back from a recruiter, who offered me a job and I accepted. They were supposed to get back to me regarding software, training, etc. and nothing at all.
Has anyone ever heard back from them? (sm)
Test is very difficult because of exceptionally poor audio quality. Try the 7-day Bytescribe free trial as ExpressScribe isn't good enough for these files.
I already heard back and was sent...sm
contract and such. I was just wondering if anyone knew anything good/bad about them.
Here is what I do and have always heard back.
I send in resume and will get response to please take their test and return it to them. Instead, I reply back that I would be more than happy to test but do not want to waste their valuable time grading my test if it is going to turn out we are not a good fit for each other and would they mind answering a few questions first. I then ask what is pay, is it hourly or cpl and if cpl how is line calculated. I ask if they have direct deposit and when would I get first check. I don't ask a bunch of questions, just the ones that to me will determine first and foremost if this is a company I am interested in. Have never not gotten answers to my questions and when I do get answers, if I am not interested, I send email thanking them for taking the time to answer but I don't think their company is what I am looking for and I am sure they will have no problem filling the position (even if I think there is no way in hell anyone in their right mind would work for them, lol.)
i heard back....
I heard back but only to ask me for my resume and that was on Thursday. I have not heard back from them since.
With me, it was only a day before I heard back from them - SM
That was last February, though, and they have grown a lot and have gotten much busier since then. I don't think it would hurt at all to give them a call just to sort of touch base with them.
Heard back one day after
I applied via phone call.
I also heard back within a day or two... sm
It never hurts to contact them and verify they got your information. Everyone I've dealt with there is very nice and never seemed bothered by or rude because of an inquiry. Good luck!
Has anybody heard back from Oracle? sm
I accepted a position with Oracle about a week ago and faxed my paperwork to them but haven't heard back. They said they would be contacting me. Has anyone recently accepted a position with Oracle and heard back from them?
Thanks
I haven't heard back from them yet. (sm)
Does it seem to take a long time to hear back from them? I went to the website, filled that info. out and the test last week. Do they pay more than 9 cpl?
Have any of you heard back from PMSI? I'm also having a bit of a
xxx
If you haven't heard back from her she will
contact you. She is a sweetheart. She's just really busy right now. Try giving her another call or email. I am also employed by Transcribe it Quick.
I heard back immediately
I got a one sentence email saying I didn't have enough experience. Must be pretty difficult work. I have been typing all work types for 19 years, especially psych and radiology..the two on the list. I have also done ESL in every job I have ever been employed. Oh well, asked her to keep my name in the barrell!
I heard back the next day. I wouldn't really
bother with them. I thought that maybe they represented companies that might not post to the job boards and who might offer better than most jobs - like a headhunter. After their testing they put me in touch with a company that regularly posts on the job boards and who currently have an ad running. I had recently turned down an offer with this same company. There was no difference in pay in what I was offered going through TM than I did going directly through the company. TM said they could sometimes negotiate a higher rate, but it didn't happen.
I think the company is only 2 people and I don't think it is a FT job for either one of them - at least that is the impression I got. Since they have a current ad maybe they have been swamped with resumes.
After you test with TM you still have to test again and if you don't get more $ you're better off applying to companies yourself and at least you won't have to go through an additional round of testing and interviews.
I don't know how long this post will last as in the past any post that doesn't portray them in a positive fashion gets deleted.
I applied and heard back (sm)
They responded almost instantly with an e-mail that said to send a Yahoo IM (instant message) to their address. I e-mailed back that I did not have an IM account, and could we just discuss via e-mail, and then I never heard anything again. Really makes me wonder how legit they are...
I did the same questionnaire and never heard back either. nm
nm
I applied there and just heard back
I don't know a whole lot because I am waiting to start but pay is 9 cpl (even though the ads say 9-10) and they use ChartScript. You also must be incorporated because they are only hiring for contract work at this time. No set schedule. Hope this helps a little.
Hi, heard back same day....this was for radiology,right?......nm
nm
I heard back from them the day I sent my resume in. sm
I have not received my paperwork yet, but will be starting to work for them on a part-time basis. The work is all cardio -- mostly clinic notes, correspondence, echos, etc. They seem to be a good company, but I guess they all do when they are hiring you. We'll see .........
I sent a resume to them but never heard back.
nm
I heard back within 3 or 4 days...
and other than low pay, it is indeed a great place to work! They do give quarterly bonuses which helps a bit to cushion the 7 cpl (for clinic work). Good luck. 
I heard back from her in 3 days
I tested and was asked to interview 3 days after my test. I accepted the position and then received my acceptance later 2 days later. If it's been 3 days, I would probably write and ask about the status of your application. She is pleasant and answered my emails in a very timely manner, which was nice.
I tested and heard back once
I tested for them, heard back and they asked me to finish taking another part, which was clinic, as I did so well with their acute care, and then never heard another thing back. Very weird to say the least.
Same here, I havent heard back yet. nm
xxx
I heard back the next day, but that was in October
Guess it just depends on the recruiter and how urgently they need MTs.
I did. Haven't heard anything back. You? nm

Thanks heard back and crossing my fingers

NO, but have tested 3 times with them and have NEVER heard back from them once...sm
Even though I know I passed with flying colors. Just seen another job post for them, so I sent in another resume mentioning the fact that I have already tested 3 times and have never heard back. She asked me if I still had my test and to re-send it to her. Well, it had been so long AGAIN that I had already deleted it but told her I would yet once again be willing to take the test over AGAIN and I have never heard back from them AGAIN! I have 10 years experience and they always contact me when I send the resume, but then nothing. I have taken many tests and I always pass so I am 100% sure that not passing the test is not the case. Just thought I would warn you. This is absolutely rude and unprofessional to behave this way. Good luck!
So good to know! I took the test but have not heard back
I don't think I will take the job, but do you know if they even hire ICs? Just so I know! TXs
Anyone tested for Med-Tec Resources heard back from them yet? nm
//
I heard back about 30 hours after testing
I applied but haven't heard back
Do any of these companies let you take time off without pay if you haven't earned your PTO yet? Any other good companies out there? Anyone pay more than 8.5 cpl?
