Since when does any legit company call us "transcribers"?

That throws up a red flag for me. Legitimate US-based companies would never say they are looking for transcribers.

Company legit
Has anyone ever heard of the company Anita Niles-Lee & Associates? They offered me a job and I want to make sure they are legit before I quite my cuurent job. Please help.
RE: Company legit
I guess you have been to their website and read there? What I read is they have been in business for over 12 years. Sounds legitimate to me.

Legit Company
Has anyone heard of Mountain west.
To ADMINISTRATOR: Is this a legit company?
I hope that this isn't someone's idea of a joke as I have already sent my resume. I find absolutely nothing on the internet regarding a company with this name. The ads indicate that they have several accounts already...why can't I find anything on this company?
Horrible company, they are legit though.
There is a reason they are always hiring. Lots in the archives.
"Transcribers" is NEVER an appropriate term
A transcriber is a machine. A Transcriptionist is a person. They, and we, should always remember the difference.
Call the company
It sounds to me like you may be someone I know, but if my hunch is wrong I would suggest you get the information you want directly from the company I am sure I can provide you with a couple different email addresses.
On-Call Transcription company
Does anyone know anything about this company?? I heard that they recently moved to Charlotte NC. From what all have told me, I have heard NOTHING good about them. Their ethics and treatment of clients and MTs are horrendous. Please let me know. Thanks!!!
call the phone company
and tell them they are, in fact, harassing you and ask them how to block their calls. That would seem to be a better way to handle it.
With any company, call again. Maybe he or she did not get the message. nm
I don't work for them (but I might be applying in the next few weeks if things continue to go bad at Transcend). I almost passed on a job because I did not hear back from someone. Turns out that they never got my message. Even more close to my heart is that I almost didn't get a second date with my husband because I did not get a message he swears to this day he left. 7 years later, I'm sure glad he called me again!
Call your company for unblock...SM
I've had this aggravate me to no end. Often just cell phones with wrong number, but lots of telemarkers, bill collectors already paid, etc. Most companies (mine is free) will unblock incoming Unknown Callers, i.e, an unknown caller wishing to call you will be notified that you are not accepting anonymous calls and are prompted to enter a code, ie, #82, thus their number will show up on your caller ID. They don't want to give their number?? Tuff stuff ! Why should you show yours if they won't show theirs?
Yes, they are legit
I work for them. They pay on time and are very easy to work with. Good luck!! God bless!

Legit?
I assure you Allegiant Transcripton Services is a legit company.
Yes, it is legit
Career Step is a legit program and they are partnered with Spheris for them to hire their grads upon graduation. Starting pay is around 6.5 cents per line which is in the range of what other newbies start out making in employee status.
I attended Career Step, took the Spheris Training Track and went to work for Spheris. I am also an affiliate member who does receive a small token of a referral fee, however, I am not here to give rave reviews or try to twist your arm one way or the other. I would recommend that you attend a course that is approved by the AAMT/AHDI though.
If you have specific questions, feel free to email me!
Thanks. I will call...Sorry, that should read are they the company that "do" ERs, not does! (
Call the credit card company
and file a claim. Most have a $ limit (has to be x$ or more) but this is your best bet.
And then file a report - you'll have to do some research in your state to find out where.
I am not a lawyer, but I doubt the contract would hold up in court.
PRINT OUT every piece of correspondence you have on your computer in case your computer crashes. Also save it to disc.
lets call it 50/50 .... bad/good MT/company
nm
they are legit and pay on time...
You didn't ask anything else. Email me if you have more specific questions.

is this legal/legit?
I love the company I work for. I love the people, love the work. Only one complaint: They deduct $12.50 out of each paycheck for a total of $25. each month for rental of their software. They said they were told they had to do that if we were IC's. We use our own computers, or rent theirs, so why should we pay to use a version of Word? I have never had anyone else do this in 15 years. Also, they want to charge a fee to do direct deposit. I've never seen that charged for either. Is this Kosher or should I say something? If so, what?
I worked for them. They are legit - sm
That is only a front name so they can't be found. Very secretive owner. No one can know the other MTs. However, pay was truly that (actually it should be 11 cents as that was what most were). Depends what work types you do. Can plow through some stuff and make great money. Other work types suck - some really bad foreigners there.
They are definitely legit. I was offered
position with them but could just not work the hours they needed. I regretfully turned down. Great owner and great MTs work there.
Why not call them and ask? I've been with them for 2 years and love it. Best company
I have ever worked for. There is always plenty of work, pay is decent and on time, and best of all I am treated well. They offer all kinds of bonuses, continuing education pay, vacation pay, reasonable insurance through Aetna, life insurance. Am I getting rich off this? No. Am I paid reasonably well? Yes. Would I recommend Transtech? Absolutely!
Everytime you say something good about a company, they call you a troll - (sm)
Who's the idiot?
We all had to call in to the new insurance company last week. I was told that it will be sm
around $250 per single and that KS will be picking up a large portion.
Words R Us out of Illinois ? Is this legit?
Companies who truly understand IC and are legit won't
require that. My company says they will never require a schedule and do not direct deposit for the simple fact that those are things you do with employees, and they do not want to ever cross the line of IC/employee with their ICs. There are bound to be other companies on the same way of thinking. Sadly, I agree with another poster that said if people are willing to sign contracts and accept set hours, it will become something we can't get away from. ICs stand up for yourselves and point out the law to the interviewer so this does not happen!
I can tell the OP had legit info, but my issue /sm
is this. If someone is employed by Webmedx, goes through training and does not hit the 98%, I'm sure they are let go, BUT they are also paid for the work they did while in training. They have to be paid, it's the law.
If you get work from WMX you have to return the work typed, correct? If a trainee typed it, you wouldn't return the work without someone from your company looking it over to score it, I assume any errors are corrected also.
If you return a completed report to WMX, they have to pay you, correct? If the trainee who typed that report is let go, you are keeping 100% of the money paid to you for that report and the MT who typed it is not paid a cent? I am trying to work this out in my head and this is the conclusion I have come to. If it is correct, there is something very wrong with this arrangement. You may not have to pay someone by law, but morally that wouldn't sit right with me at all.
all legit companies withhold for taxes but...
when you say I found it difficult enough just paying my regular bills with the very low rate of pay this company offered, and it was impossible for me to also put aside extra money to pay for the taxes they refused to take out That can't be true. one way or another the money comes out, either they do it before you get the check or you do it after you get the check. If you could afford it if they took it out, then your take home pay would be less. So it's absolutely equal that you could afford it by setting it aside yourself. At least you got to earn a little interest on it!

WAH MOMMY!
Anyone heard of Career Step program?..cost?..legit?
I checked out the Spheris website and I don't have enough experience to apply...but they directed me to Career Step kind of as a prerequisite to get your foot in the door for employment....there's gotta be a some kind of cost, but I didn't stick around to find out....link, after link, after link..yada yada...anyone have any comments on this setup?
Yes, call waiting works. I also have call forwarding from my home line

You can call it greed, I call it feeling like
I am back in the 80s with the money I am pulling in. SS, retirement check and my paycheck, cha-ching. Not planning on taking it with me, never. Love to travel and have 4 places planned for this year. High maintenance lady here. Ta-Ta.
Call them......
Since the Warminster office is being absorbed into the Northeast Region, the only ones who can answer that question for you is the Warminster office itself. I've worked for them for years and have plenty of work - my accounts haven't gone anywhere.
Yes. I get what they call
a tiered incentive on my checks and then get quarterly bonuses to boot. I was quite impressed actually. I started at 8.75 cpl and can earn up to 2 cpl incentive plus the bonuses.
We got Labor day incentives too...$40 for the first 800 lines and $20 for every 400 lines after that.
It may all fall apart but right now I'm happy.
If you truly cannot call, perhaps
it is time to find work with another MTSO/company? That way when one is slow, you will have another as a backup? This is, of course, assuming you are an IC. If you are an employee having communications issues where you cannot even call your employer, I would start looking elsewhere.
I could call and say
I could call and say I I couldn't work that day if I was sick or if my daughter was sick, things like that, but I've never done that with the exception of a few weeks ago when my husband had open heart surgery and I ended up not working for 3 days.
I could call and say
But the point is I would never do that. I have to have a very good reason why I wouldn't work.
Why not just CALL them?
.
of course call
but I would take this as a warning: If they don't follow up *before* they actually hire you...
So should I call them? (nt)
xx
I had a guy call me to tell me he was going to
his MTs are earning money, but he would not tell me his company name. I did not answer the phone. That really made me nervous. I will not be giving my # out again.
Call and ask.
x
When I tried to call...
I got the message about the number being disconnected, so I emailed and got called back from another number.
You can call them and ask.
nm
Really not sure, but I would just call them and ask.

Why not just call them?
If I get no work on an account, the first thing I do is call to make sure there is no technical reason for the lack of work. (like maybe I was fired? (locked out?) :))
I would call in and
talk to them. There is certainly plenty of work and they don't want you to be unhappy.
I got the call too
I am concerned because this company does offshore and I looked at their website briefly and they are apparently looking to acquire more companies.
Definitely would call now!!
nm
Call them!!!
I was afraid to pester the company I tested with, too, but after waiting 8 days I called yesterday and got hired. If you want the job, pursue it!
