I discussed this with an IRS agent recently
IC means you basically have more flexibility. I.E. you set your own schedule. The most the company can REQUEST is a window of time, i.e Turnaround time or say a 12 hour window to complete X lines or X reports. If you get X reports done in 4 hours, they cannot require you to stay on if you choose not to. You don't ask them for vacation time, you let them know when you will not be available period. ICs pay for that flexibility through paying their own taxes etc.

Employee - You are required to work a certain amount of set hours on a set schedule no matter who chooses the exact time even if you meet your line quota early. You ask for time off and have to be approved for it, and you are required to be in contact during your shift through media that they usually choose.

It is a fine line in some ways, but if you are classified as an IC, you should be under contract for an amount of work, i.e. assigned doctors, lines, reports or whatever within TAT or the window of 5 to 5 (just an example). If you are contracted for 8-5 Monday through Friday and are to keep in touch via Yahoo during your shift (which you must complete), you are an employee.
Any way you can search recent pages w/o having to go to each one

I was very chilled when I stated it was discussed recently, nor did I point

I do not believe this: This means that you read 11 pages
in half an hour?
One page has 40 lines.

This is a ridiculous statement.
I bet you cannot even read that fast WITHOUT having to make corrections!!!

It is good to be pro-VR, but don't push it with such hilarious pretenses.
I looked thru 2 pages and couldn't find anything.

I thought it was deleted as can happen here!


you really need to read through all these pages...see thread inside
there are threads on pages on this company board that are not positive. however, people tend to post negative rather than positive at this site.

people are not going to do your searching for you. do not assume because no one answered your question it is positive sign.

for example, here's a thread at page 10.

good luck.
There's tons of info here if you do a board search. They get discussed all the time. :) nm

From what I have read/heard recently you have
to pay all expenses up front and then submit receipts for reimbursement.  I wouldn't do that.  They should advance you xx amount of money and then you submit receipts.  
They recently cut my pay back to the level
it was 3 years ago when I started, with no notice and no reason, so I quit. They cut back everybody's pay due to their mismanagement.

Otherwise, I liked working for them and would not have left.
Probably the one who left and came back recently
Heard she was planning to leave again.
Anyone quit MQ and gone back to them recently?

Search and ye shall find. (SM)
Tons was deleted. Outsource to India. Overstaffed. Feast or famine. Management could take lessons in being nice. They do have their pets ---
Read the archives. Lots of stuff recently. Not good.
 
How do you do a search on here - I saw it posted on here once before but I can't find it (nm)

Sometimes you can find an old post by doing a search.

I think the post you are referring to was from 11-28, and is probably on page 2 by now.  It was from the owner of AAmT where she wrote: 





We are currently in the transition phase of taking on business from another company.   Therefore, please do not be confused if you call the office number and hear Synthescribe.   Synthescribe is a corporation in Nashville who provides offshore labor solutions to health care providers in conjunction with onshore.   AAmT is acquiring service contracts of Synthescribe's and will be providing 100% US labor solutions to these clients.   I personally look forward to building a team of qualified US MTs and editors to support these health care facilities.   They are thrilled about the fact we will be providing onshore services under AAmT's leadership.


Hope that helps clear things up for you. 


Happy Holidays


 


You must do a search and read OSI archives

You can find it with a search on Yahoo groups

I did a search on here for Silent Type, Inc. and couldn't find anything (sm)..
Anyone know anything about them?
Thanks. I did search the archives, but didn't find the answers (SM)
to my specific questions. That is why I posted.
Would never go back there...do a search (Outsource Offshore too) (nm)
 QA and managers more important than MTs...
Search the archives back for the few months.

There' s lots of info on SoftScript.  In my opinion, not a good place to work and I'm glad I didn't accept their offer.


Rapid Transcript - Tried archive search, but couldn't find!
Rapid Transcript - Anyone heard of them?  Worked for them?  Good and bad, please!
Never mind, search function back up and working.

I did and no one got back with me. Come to find out
that is how it works with them. At least in my case. Did you just start with them? I am curious because things always seem great the first few weeks/months with a company. I loved them more than anything the first few months. It never does take long for them to start, well, you know...
How were you able to read it? Where did you find the story?

If you read the archives you should find what you are looking for, although

you won't find much good about them.  


If you read the archives you won't find much

good about them.  They switch you from account to account. They have had management problems for many years.  Their line counting is difficult to figure out and they dock you for lots of things.  They also offshore and are currently training women in Trinidad and somewhere else so you know what that means.   Some of their accounts are teaching hospital and I worked on one of them and the dictation quality was horrendous.  If you're a newbie I doubt they'd put you on it though. 


There are worse companies out there, but I still wouldn't recommend TRS.

Go back and read her post!
I'm not real sure what else there is to let people in on.
mtroadie - back up and read what I said...sm
That was directed only to you because of your attitude. Try to relax a little :)
I just went back and read that other post
Sadly, those posters are 100% correct. What they describe is the treatment I am getting. I am disheartened. I am looking for another pasture too. They are a terribly selfish company, it is just not right what they do to the MTs who work for them.

This is my opinion based on my experience. I can relate to what others say about SGS.
