I have Googled and called many, so far all have said they don't hire remotely; that's why
I am asking to see if anyone knows of any that do. I have already spent several hours looking.
Not even remotely true
In all of the research and reading I did last night, I found out that almost all of the cases that have been won by 'contractors' who are really employees were done under the presence of a signed contract.
There was a huge case with Microsoft that I read about, and another recently with FedEx. And about a thousand billion in between.
If I gave you a piece of paper that said 'done done done can take my kidney out with a rusty knife' and you signed it and gave it back, would that really protect me under the law?
If you're breaking the law, you're breaking the law - it doesn't matter what a piece of paper says.
But - that's doubly not a worry for me. They never sent me a contract (I believe in error, forgetting), and I never signed one.
In any case, please read this PDF I found off the Labor Board site if you want more of the information I have (also known as the truth and stuff).

fabulous
Great money, lots of work, flexible schedule, cool people, affordable benefits. Nothing to complain about at all.
Pay isn't fabulous but I like it there.
They leave me alone, don't give my crap about taking some off and gave me a flexible schedule.
Work remotely for a hospital - best deal in the industry. nm

Their website says the MTs work remotely. Could be local from home or far. nm

I think if you are working remotely during a setup would be the only time they can "monitor"
your computer and then you know about it and invite them in and then disconnect it when done with that. Are you sure whoever is not meaning they can monitor when you are logged on or monitor your lines and work. I think most any platform allows the company to watch those things.
....and then there is there fabulous HAHAHA $12.50
Fabulous people. Pay well. Pay... sm
always on time by direct deposit. The best I've ever found.
I think this just fabulous technology!........nm
nm
They have a great reputation -- I think it would be fabulous! nm

$12.50/hr. is their latest fabulous pay scheme.
Of course it is their fabulous $12.50/hour scheme
I just joined them, FABULOUS place sm
While I have had no feedback today, I am not terribly concerned. They were well pleased with the first batch of work I had yesterday so I worked all day, my first full day. When I shot off an email question BAM it was back at me in under 3 minutes! I AM IMPRESSED. Oh, I made the minimum number of lines expected of me after 90 days and I spent a LOT of time messing with the system, looking stuff up in there and making it work for me, about 2 hours of my day AND I got a great line count.
As for not getting back to someone who wants to work for them: I pasted a resume into an email off the ad that was here on MTS. Debbie called me the very next day and told me to call her the next day by 9 a.m. or she would be calling me then. I did call her, she hired me and I didn't think she would take no for an answer...so I said YES.
I love love love ExText, I didn't think I would, but I DO I DO. The QA people are so nice and so anxious help. I am a seasoned old vet at this game, but they treat me like a newbie with feelings and struggles.
I AM SO HAPPY TO BE TREATED LIKE A REAL HUMAN BEING FOR A CHANGE as opposed to a typing robot.
Here's the deal - if you find one that fits, even remotely. STAY!! stop searching for "perfect
xx
Try TransTech instead. FABULOUS company and TONS of work!
:)
I agree. I was with MQ and made fabulous money and worked for
large universities. Finally, I had enough and left 2 years ago and never looked back. It wasnt easy at first learning new hospitals but I am still at that place and am fine. Actually, I like learning new hospitals every now and then, takes care of the boredom. Now dont get me wrong, the money isnt as great, but I cant take the boredom. I lose my focus when I get like that and get sloppy I think. You just dont watch as closely so every now and then you need a reality check and get pulled back into shape, at least I do. I focus much more closely on new accounts.
Me too. As soon as there is a little extra work they hire and hire and then noone has any. This
goes on all the time. I get sick to death of it. I think having 2 part time jobs is better so you have 2 jobs to count on.
Does KS only hire employees or do they hire ICs too? nm
x
LOL!!! They would hire anyone, they just need to get
YIKES!!!
DSG does hire ICs
hire-on?
no, I took their test on-line though...I am shopping around right now for a fair well-known company with a simple format -- I just want to transcribe and be paid for it, none of this tier stuff
Yes they hire IC as well, which is what
I would suggest as this company is not very loyal to their employees.
Do you know if they hire nm
n
Do they hire FT and PT? Thanks! nm
x
they either over hire or have a lot
of MTs leave because they have been running ads for several months now. I would be leery of that.
Do you know if they hire IC's? nm
x
Yes, they hire ICs.
xx
Why? You want to hire us??
do they only hire FT or do they hire PT as well?
I thought I seen a post somewhere on here that said only FT. I really don't want to work more than 30 hours a week and I know most places cut FT at 32 hours a week. Not that I couldn't put in 2 more hours, but if I had a choice....
Does MDI-MD hire PT
Thanks :)
Also do they all hire from within?
nm
they hire from within if possible. nm
.
they hire only SE's, which is almost
like an IC or independent contractor. Therefore, no, they provide no machine, no benefits, etc. You pay most of your own taxes too.
I believe they do hire ICs
.
new-hire
I just took a position with MD-IT Portland. I am very optimistic about this! It was a much higher line rate than I had with MedQuist, and for now they pay the same for straight transcription as they do for Speech Recognition. They are providing all of my equipment - as I am going to one of their accounts where they do, and it is mostly my favorite work type, ERs.
If you do not do ops they will not hire you.
I hate ops and have never had a problem getting hired and paid decent but this company will not even look at you if you do not all 4 acute care. I wish I liked ops but do not. I applied for this company and this was the first time in my 9 years experience that I have had a company turn me down so their loss as far as I am concerned....
They hire both but I don't believe there are any...sm
benefits other than them paying the taxes for you when your a employee...
They do hire for less than that
They hire PT and there is still
8 hours be done on one weekend day though.
So would you hire....sm
Someone to paint the entire interior of your house - as an independent contractor - and allow him to do it any hours he pleases as long as he does some painting every 24 hours?
no, but I would hire
someone to paint the exterior of my house - as an independent contractor - and allow her to do it any hours she pleases as long as she does a previously arranged percentage of my house within a 24-hour time period. I think this is closer to the way being an IC works. At least, this is how it is for me. I have to complete x number of lines within 24 hours, but whether I do it in the first hour or the last hour or anything in between is up to me.
Do they only hire ICs?
x
Why hire me just to get rid of me?
Bizarre. I don't think that's it but who knows at this point.
New Hire
I have 2 years experience and passed their test the first time and was recently hired. I have heard bad and good. I intend to do my job and as long as I am compensated for my work, it is a job.
REMEMBER THE COUNTRY'S UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IS IN THE DOUBLE-DIGITS PRESENTLY AND BE THANKFUL YOU CAN FIND A JOB.
do you know if they hire prn?
x
Why would you hire on as an IC
Not sure I'm following you?
They don't hire PT
Somebody said they should hire me to do PR. :)
But seriously... I was exactly where you folks are, not quite 6 months ago... working for a company that I really loved, one that treated us all very well and actually kept every single promise they made (go figure), and then to find out we were being sold to another company....
Yep. Some real Maalox moments there, and some real fear and loathing going on in TRS land. They assured us until they were blue in the face that nothing was going to change for us. I do know that a couple of people on my team quit, although they could have quit for other reasons; I don't really know.
Now, some 5 months later, I am happy to report that I'm still sitting here working the exact same accounts, on the same platform, and actually for higher pay. Go figure. I thought that sort of thing wasn't supposed to happen in this racket..... :D
7.5-8 cpl -see post below for 9.5 new hire
I don't understand it! Someone else said they were just hired at 9.5 cpl and the production plan was different. If this is MQ's idea of making things more consistent ----- well, I just don't know! They are going to lose A LOT of people at this rate!
