as well as for efficiency because they can't handle all of the required work. I'm curious, though, as to what they pay the Indian MTs. If the pay is extremely low (usually 1 to 2 cpl in India), that says it's mostly for the profit margin. I still have yet to see a company that pays an Indian, Pakistani, or Philippian MT more than that or equivocal to an American MT. It's all about the profit margin.

yes you can claim all that as SE.

Yes, they do. They claim only 15%. nm
xxx

Could be, just like you claim to be an MT. nm
xxxxxxx

This claim in your post is exactly why
It is dangerous to both the employee (MT) and the company (MTSO).

Both were burned here by someone who apparently is completely anonymous to either or at least hiding like the loser they are.

Yes and it was not a claim..have proof. Thanks

How do I make a claim at the BBB? nm

They claim to have been in biz since 1992. nm

how much of your utilities have you been able to claim?
My tax advisor told me I could only claim the amount of utilities that equaled my office space. For example, my office space I claim is 20% of my house, so I could only claim 20% of my utilities. Anyone else have this experience? Anything I can do differently as an IC? I do deduct the total expense of internet and phone since I am required to have these for work...

Yes it is true and if you were there 2 years ago as you claim
as well as the "not so flattering" picture of her that was in the company email newsletter at around the same time. Nice try though.

BBB - I think it costs $9.50 to make a claim now
Check the BBB internet site.

If told to do it but not claim it, that is PERMISSION, nm

So if you have a medical claim, the insurance - sm
doesn't pay anything until you've forked out the first $2,000? That's appalling!

They claim it is only 15%, but it is more like 60% offshore work.
The offshore swine get preferential treatment over the US transcriptionists. The screen shows there is work to do and suddenly everything is gone but the bad dictators, and I do not mean 10 jobs, I am talking at least 45 jobs at one time off my accounts just disappeared. I thought about changing my name to hari skrishna for a while so I could get some work, but found another job instead.

You said they claim easy dictators..

Are they easy with a significant amount of repetitiveness? If there isn't...and all they do is talk then as an IC, 7 cents is not gonna pay the rent. If the doc repeats things over and over...then you have a chance.

I had an ESL once who others wouldn't do. However, once I figured him out I found that he repeated 90% of the reports so it was great.

It also depends on platform. If it's in MS Word with an FTP site...great. If they use something like Emdat but don't have the demos and base information correct then your line count goes even lower. Shop wisely....

TO THE ABOVE POST - IF YOU CLAIM TO BE SPEAKING TRUTH - SM
THEN GO AHEAD AND MENTION NAMES OF MANAGEMENT THAT LET THESE THINGS GO ON! WHAT DOCTORS AT WHAT HOSPITAL GOT FED UP WITH WHAT ACCOUNT AND ONLY GAVE OVERFLOW!?!?!? YOU ARE SO FULL OF CRAP! I AM A SINGLE PERSON AND I AM NOT A FAVORITE OR A CHERRYPICKER OF THE COMPANY. SO IF YOU HAVE SOME NAMES TO BACK UP YOUR "TRUTH" I SUGGEST YOU SPIT IT OUT. BECAUSE OTHER THAN THAT, YOU ARE FULL OF CRAP!

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.

You made the claim by making your headline say
that is a claim and could potential be called slander. Hope you have an attorny on retainer.

you said ... I am not making any claims. ..... You made a specific claim that JLG was dishonest. I'm more inclined to believe you can't live up to the owner's standards.

I just find it amusing when MTs claim to assist others
If it doesn't bother you, don't worry about it.

They claim "it is so much faster than Spheris".

How very interesting that people who claim NOT to be management seem to know all this is going on?
Out of the 196 e-mails they sent last month with account updates, endless pleas for help until they get new people in place, etc., there was not any real company info. I have been there 3 years and am currently looking to leave. They are hands down the rudest group of people I have ever worked with, in or out of this business. I have had MANY e-mails go unanswered, you are not allowed to IM but they send endless messages about all the work to be done while I am TRYING to work, and forget about ever reaching them on the phone should you need to. I work on numerous accounts that switch back and forth all day long. They want you to shut up and type and will contact you when THEY need something. Let me also add they have tons of ESL docs and very bad dictators in general. The only thing good is that the pay is on time.

I thought statutory could claim those same deductions? NM

The same way cars that claim to be "made in America"
Some people just take a shred of truth, and spread it really really thin. But their lies should be exposed every time someone gets a chance.

Aren't they the ones that claim to be a good Christian
company too? Sounds too much like TranScam to me.

It's not BS as you claim. They told me they do not hire PT. I have tried 3 times in 3 months.
I cannot work FT as I have a job at a hospital but they will not budge on saying no PT. I have read all your posts as I have been researching companies and it seems like you think you know more about KS than you do. You post something bad about every KS post but you don't give details, so I think you are BS.
