Post from 2005 said you needed a Cphone and you HAD to buy Workman's Comp insurance to work

Please go back and read "No, you're way off..."
and then read my reply to No. This was not a response to your post, so please simmer down. I was saying regardless of what the man-owners of the company are, we were just sweat shop labor and they never communicated with us anyway.
Only found 1 note saying to stay away from the So.Carolina comp. & stick w/the No. Carolina comp. nm

I'm sure it's NOT for "no reason at all" but
it might be for a reason you haven't discovered yet. Some of the reasons why IC's are let go are consistently not getting the TAT met (I have a gal that always says she wants more work, yet one of the accounts will have work in the queue for 2 days and she still hasn't got to it), consistently poor quality of work, not jumping in to cover work when workload is heavy and being replaced by someone who does the work at a cheaper rate. So it may SEEM like no reason at all but there is a reason. Still, one would hope one's shortcomings could be brought up so that there was a chance to modify what was churning out...
That's "know nothing", not "no nothing".
Sort of in a hurry there.
In a word....."NO!"
why would "no developments" need to be discussed or am I

You say "No one would have told you to purchase that." sm.
Did it ever occur to you that maybe the person at Keystrokes DID tell her that and that they DID make a mistake.
"no big deal." this MUST be a recruiter's
,
sorry, ICer, post was for "no name"
my bad
I have 25 years exp and run into the "no work syndrome" also.
It happens! I got tired of hearing no work or can you go on later...etc. I went out and got my own accounts and it has be heaven!
Believe me, the no work situation happens at every company no matter what anyone says. I think I have tried every one out there and the same thing....great for the first few weeks, then caught up and no work.
You may need a part-time job to fill in for the $$$ missed.
Good luck.
Owner has stated emphatically "no"!

Who are you to say someone has "no life" because he or she chooses to work sm
a day on the weekend? That seems a bit egocentric, the world revolving around you and what you think. I work Sunday through Thursday and am quite happy with it. And no, I don't choose between work and God. I work 2nd shift, and I have always gone to early church anyway just as a personal preference.
Unfortunately, people still get sick on the weekends, and if someone in your family gets sick on the weekend, you'll be darned glad someone is working. If you are so against working weekends, perhaps you should try clinic work. Just a suggestion.
Aww, come on now. Do you really think new comp.

workman's comp
Carpal tunnel is a worker's comp case as it is caused by the job. You have to claim it as such and open a comp case. Disability covers any other medical reason for missing work other than job related.
large comp
I agree.
SPi New Comp Plan
Hey, just posted a reply but haven't seen it post, so if this is a duplicate, I apologize! I've been with SPi since December and was hired under the comp plan that you guys are discussing and it's actually a very good plan. While I am not paid for spaces, most companies don't pay for spaces anyway, but the good thing is that I was given a higher line rate to compensate for that. I interviewed with other companies before I decided to work for SPi and the reason I chose SPi was not only the great line rate but that the benefits start after 30 days, and who can beat free vision and dental! I was going to have to pay for that myself everywhere else and couldn't even get it until I had worked a minimum of 3 months at other places. The other cool thing was that I got paid for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! I am not going anywhere....
spi comp plan
Let's face it, they made this compensation plan to help their bottom line, not the MTs...and anyone who is breaking even, you are the lucky ones!!
I want to know if anyone is making more than last year with this company!!! Other than account managers and other management, that is..did they take a hit in their paychecks?????
RE: SPI COMP PLAN
I seem to be making quite a bit less with this new plan. It is taking a lot more hours to get the line count compared to what we use to have to do.
I'm just curious how long that lasts for you? Usually if I get a "no studies" message, sm
I have work again within the hour. I don't get how so many of y'all are out of work all the time.
wrk-mans comp and disability ins q's.
can a MT employee get workmans comp for developing carpal tunnel synd?
If one carries disability insurance, is that for any disability, ie, (not related to job) from a car accident, recreational time injury, etc.? thanks.
Company with VA comp and pens?
I saw an ad some time ago from a company looking for MTs to work on VA comp and pens. I've been working a VA account the past few years and love the comp and pens but the amount of those seems to be dwindling on the account for some reason, probably going over to voice or more people working on them. Just wondered if anyone remembered which company that was. Thanks!
Can you file a work comp claim
If you are an employee, you can file a worker's compensation claim, and the company has to follow the rules of the state the insurance company would consider jurisdiction. As a former workers' compensation claim handler, MQ is legally bound to have your claim handled wihtout any issues. If you have issues you have the right to go to the state workers' compensation board for assistance.
I think I work for the comp. with an M that you mention but they are the ones I made more with than
I had previously at another job..huh?? I do notice a discrepancy in accounts. On one account, I get a great line but when I tried another one of their accounts I was not making the same..not even close. I questioned it and was told that the way it is counted is per the hospital/client's contract and they set the rules. So, I just assumed that that facility got a contract that paid for less things than my main account. You can email me privately if you'd like to compare accounts. Trust me, I wont share with anyone. I have had more than my share of issues with this company and am seeking to move on. Good line count or not, sometimes it is just not worth it.
There are not very many negatives, it is just that those of us with positive experiences at ANY comp

Occuational Health reports/Workmen's comp
Do you think 8.5 cpl is good pay for these type reports. I am accustomed to acute care work but was offered a job doing occupational health or workmen's comp reports, which are 2 to 3 line reports. Do you think this is productive work or would it take all day to get 1200 lines.
WEBMEDX - NO RETURN ON COMP DEPOSIT - 3 MONTHS
It's been 3 months since I left the company, and I have not received my computer deposit yet. I called and talked with HR and Accounts Payable, who promised me a check weeks ago. I called today and was told they had a snag -- no one to sign checks, providing me with a lame excuse about having to send the checks to ATL next week, etc., etc. NOT MY PROBLEM -- You took the money out of my check, now send it back since your computer was returned in good condition. (Not to mention that I have not received my last paycheck -- haven't pursued that because it's less than $5).
Also -- when I worked for the company, the accounts (3 hospitals) continually ran out of work. I was to give WEBMEDX 12 hours out of my day, checking every 30 minutes to see if there was work, and then sign off if there was no work so as not to abuse the minimum wage laws (i.e. so they would not have to pay me). This was the worse experience I have ever had with a transcription service. HORRIBLE!!
any QT workers
frequent this board. How is pay, benefits, work load. Still owned by Tampa couple?
MDI-MD workers, can you tell me
if they accept dial-up connections or satellite? Don't find it on their website. thanks.
Anyone else have problems taking USA Type test? Cant get my comp to play the sound file.
Any suggestions? I really want to take the test but their sound file keeps loading onto my music program, and when I try to load it on Windows Medial Player it tells me I need codecs, so how would I find that to load?
They are looking for workers -- but NO WORK

First of all, the auto workers SM
have been protected from the realities of the world for decades now. I have contact with them daily-you should hear them cry and complain over having to pay $4 a pay period to cover their family's health insurance. Co-pay for a Rx went up from $2 to $5? Oh, the complaining about what a raw deal they get.
These people all have cottages to summer in, multiple vehicles for business, leisure and sports and the rest of us have slaved. No company EVER promised to take care of its employees for life. We MTs have known that for years and now these people also can find this out.
To All happy IC workers..
Are you satisfied as an IC and not having benefits because you have another job that pays benefits or are dependents of someone how has medical benefits?
I think that off-shore workers
You just summed that up for me. I am glad you told the truth in that you like using slaves to transcribe who are none the wiser.
As an IC, I choose my own hours, days, lines, etc. You as an MTSO consider that whining, when it is the law.
So if you sleep at night knowing you are abusing and mistreating offshore workers, then good for you! It actually just proves you have no heart.
Another point I'd like to make is that if you need subs to make you money, you must be a horrible Transcriptionist yourself.
Any doctor that old me he doesn't care who types, when, and how would be off of my list of good doctors and I wouldn't waste my time. That doctor obviously doesn't care about people but only his own pocket and that would include you as the MTSO. That same doctor that told you he/she doesn't care will drop you as an MTSO in a minute when he/she finds a better deal.
Always remember, we reap what we sow. Try and have a good day, master!
Any Oracle workers here?
Am I the only one at Oracle (OTI) that constantly and consistently runs out of work? I'm not just talking about the usual holiday lull, I mean pretty much everyday? Because I do. I don't think I've had a paycheck yet that's been over 400 dollars. I'm on three accounts (count em '3') and there's still hardly ever enough work. I keep asking my QA ppl to put me on yet another account and they say there aren't anymore openings but then I get emails from them saying how the workload is heavy in this account, heavy in that account... etc.
Why why why is this so hard? Any advice? Anybody?
My request for workers
Apparently all of you who are so disgusted with my posting are so busy that you have time to be on this chat board. I, am quite busy and do not have time to filter through hundreds of resumes, which I have received in the past from a posting. Therefore I was upfront and honest about what I needed and what I would pay. NO, this is not subcontracted work, this is a full fledged hospital account, if it is any of your business. Spend time working not running other people down that you know nothing about.
netmed workers
I tested for the company called Net Med Transcription and was just wondering if anyone out there works for them and if they like, dislike them?
C&C Transcription does pay it's workers
Please don't confuse CC Transcription with C&C Transcription, they are two totally separate companies. Also C&C Transcription does NOT offer direct deposit.
Marie
It's just one more way of cheating workers.
Any Freedom Type workers here? - sm
I've heard nice things, read nice things. Do you like working here? Do you enjoy the work? Set your own hours and workload?
TIA!
I think it is great to get to know more of our "co-workers". (sm)
My elderly mom lives with me, my grandchildren are here before and after school and I go to Wal-Mart and Price Chopper a couple of times a week. That is it for me. I love the idea of getting to know some of my fellow workers. Winter is an extremely crafty season, hopefully will find others with similar interests.
Workers of the World, Unite!
I agree 100%. They accuse John Edwards of engaging in class warfare, and I say why not? The time has come to put an end to all this ugliness. Golden country, indeed.
I'd have to agree with you. Yes, you get a few disgruntled workers who probably
aren't qualified to be doing this work and get reprimanded or just plain unhappy and like to complain, then think twice about their opinion on a company, but for God's sake when people tell you that they aren't not getting paid on time, correct, or AT ALL, why in the world would you consider even taking a job for them. I agree with the poster in that it does reach a level of stupidity and companies that have those kind of unethic and dishonest tactics just prey on stupid people who should have known better to begin with. I think everyone has a right to voice their opinion and experience, good or bad, and yes, some of it take with a grain of salt BUT if it involves your livelihood, a paycheck, then pay attention. I just don't get people either. Here's your sign 
SINCE WHEN IS EXPLOITATION OF WORKERS PROPRIETARY?..sm
Are workers for NetMed IC's or employees?

I don't think anybody's wrath is directed at workers
For the most part, it seems the barbs are going right where they belong- at management. The closest anyone has come to faulting the Indian workers themselves is the wage that they make, which they have no control over anymore than we do.
10 reports per hour for QA workers???
Is it reasonable for an MTSO to expect QA to QA 10 reports per hour....when working on several acute care accounts? For the most part it is blanks only, but sometimes there are also full listens.
And they hired 300 Indian workers with plans for
Spheris Inc. of Franklin, Tennessee, has hired 300 people for its new center in Coimbatore, in India's southern Tamil Nadu state, and plans to add another 700 workers in the next year, company president and chief executive Steven Simpson told reporters.
