Some people.. who better to ask than the employees of MDI. I think they would know if they are IC or employees.

Guess you don't work for MDI-MD and aren't psychic either....
and yet you still didn't answer the question as to whether you work with MDI-MD.
Guess that answers my pot-stirring question.
Thanks!!!
I can't figure out how to use the shorthand properly (brain dead I guess) (sm)
Maybe I haven't taken enough time to learn it (I can be a bit impatient with myself), but I seem to have a mental block and have about given up. I used to have Smartype with my old system (before DQS) and wonder if it worked with Vianeta. Anyway, anyone out here, what do you use other than the ShortHand that comes with it?
Psychic???
week to start sniffing glue. Psychic Friends???? Effectively synergizing backward overflow. You do absolutely nothing, and it was everything you thought it could be. What an analogy, its so you!!!
So now you're psychic and know
the other poster ''looks different'' from me? Aren't you being just a wee bit judgmental yourself? If you want to track her down, give her a great big hug or send her some money, that's up to you. I simply read her statement, which stated that having her payday moved by a couple of days a month - four months from now - would send her to a loan shark, and said what I thought about it. Harsh? Maybe, but we big girls need to develop the resources to take care of ourselves.
Does "being around here long enough" make one a psychic?
sign or message is in this person's post that makes you know who they are? I would imagine that there are many po'd MTSOs out there. It could be any one of them. I'd be po'd as well if I had to deal with the likes of some of you folks on a daily basis.
I actually wish I were psychic because like the MTSO below, I would love to win the lottery
.
Oh great - Another psychic employee!! HAHAHA
How about just saying yes, it is 70% of your line rate instead of making up rumors.
You must be psychic. I just ended up going on Ebay today and bought a Dell with Windows XP on it.
I originally went through Dell directly but they charged $400 more for the same computer because they were customizing it with Windows XP as now all the computer came standard with Vista. Apparently not so customized..haha.. better deals on Ebay.. I LOVE EBAY..
Re: Geesh
Just be happy it is not your name being dragged through the mud. At least one person is happy on this website. Lots of negativity on here.
Geesh, I'm a dip. lol It should just say...
I took the test this weekend. I couldn't remember whether I took it Friday or Saturday. Duh. It's been a long day!
geesh 100% correct here
Great post--sad but so true!
geesh! Liked their platform.
nm
geesh, maybe they can't keep people-ever think of that?
You are such an angry and defensive person. What? You didn't make your minimum line count today?
Geesh - typo. sm
Geesh. I'm sorry. That should have been 'was notorious.' I just had to have my kids' pet mouse euthanized, so I'm a bit frazzled right now. 
Geesh, it was a joke. Just trying to give the OP a
x
Geesh. Maybe they're growing. Ever think of that? nm

Is it really coming to .08 w/o spaces AND quick TAT? geesh...
Isn't that called "stat"? What happened to getting paid more for quick TAT?
oh boy.. I'm gifted, how about "hear" not "here".. geesh.. need a nap
nm
Geesh. They just emailed me tell me that I hadn't taken the test yet..duh
Totally ignored the content of my e-mail asking for details. Well, this at least gave me a second chance to ask. Maybe now they will share the line rate with me. Who knows? I am certainly not holding my breath.
About about paying a "fortune'.. geesh.. time for a nap
Why is it that there is always someone that has to be nasty. Every company, every opinion. Geesh.
xx
Geesh..It's been a long day. I don't think I made any sense on that post.
Bottom line is, best pay rate out there, most of the time enough work and good benefits. They have a lot of happy employees.
Get real. She wont cost co the acct. Geesh
x
Are you kidding?? You don't get paid for 45 days. Geesh, I wonder if your creditors would wait
that longer to get paid...probably not. You go over 30 days and they start hounding you. I definitely would never do a job that took that long to get paid.
geesh, I thought the main board hosted the nasty trolls
:{
I know how to figure it,
how do you qualify for it? The account I work on never offers that, the most they offer is an additional 0.05 per line when they are behind.
Let's figure this out. sm
I am currently working for 10.5 cents per line, equipment furnished, and I get two weeks PTO per year, plus health insurance for $21.00 a payday and that insurance includes health/dental/vision/life, and direct deposit. Compare that to FN, no insurance, no bennies, no direct deposit and, at most, 10 cents per line. There are several small MTSOs out there who provide benefits and pay as I am describing here. Why in the world would you work for a company who provides no benefits at all, not even direct deposit, for 10 cents a line? I just don't get it.
I don't think anybody has been able to figure that out yet
You'll find a few people posting that it didn't affect their line count, but the majority of posters did lose big going to the platform.
Nothing to figure out, really. sm
They no longer pay for demographic info, headers (client letterhead), footers (signature line and DD/DT block/initials), CCs, etc. Add that all up times each page and that is a lot of lost lines, possibly hundreds of lines per day.
GO FIGURE!!! That is what is
what is wrong with our society, no one wants responsibility for there own actions. If you screwed up, and I know for a fact that some of you were not doing your work, because i am the MT that turned you in, then take responsibilty for your screw up. Quit blaming everyone at Shapin for your laziness. And now that your gone, I have your job and I absolutely love it. So I guess I owe you a thank you.
Not sure how you figure that one
Never heard this one before - trying to convert minutes to lines!
.9/line is not a bad rate, depending of course on the specifics of the work (type, difficulty of dictators, TAT, etc.
200 minutes could actually be very few lines if the dictator is a pauser... or a lot of work if they dictate like Robin Williams talks...
Ask for more details.
How do you figure your cpl?
How do you figure your cpl for editing? I don't get it.
D&L - go figure
Poor them, to hear them tell it, every body is lying on them and telling stories. I do not understand how they have Transcriptionist working for them. I have not heard a one that has gotten a check on time and one that they know will clear. Living from paycheck to paycheck and fearing a bounced check would scare me off for sure. Yes they have client's - they do not know what is going on - but I say let the owners type the reports, for sure the clients would not last a week with her skills. Everybody complains, but they remain there - can I just ask why - i would rather work for less than work and worry about a check.
here's the way I figure it
Okay, so 45 minutes of dictation equal 2700 seconds, say 1 hour per 1000-1200 seconds on average typing between 150 to 200 lph, counting referencing time and proofing time, I would say about 2-2-1/2 hours average of actual transcribing time.
It would seem that if you can't figure sm
out correctly how to calculate $25 an hour, you're not going to be able to reach that.
how do you figure that? If i'm doing less
the company makes less off of me as well.
Cheating out of money would more likely come from charging the client by the line and paying the Transcriptionist per report, among other ways.
Hon, if you can't figure out how to
do that, you need to work on your computer skills - LOL.
I figure...
...NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS! I would assume that I am doing such a good job that they have no reason to contact me.
how do you figure that?
Just curious
what I can't figure out is why any sm
interviewer/supervisor/owner or whatever would even tell that story to an employee much less a new-hire. I sometimes wonder if folks just do that to make themselves sound important. Personally I could not care less what goes on with other employees. I do my work, do it well and expect a paycheck. If that doesn't happen, then I am outta there.
you can figure that one out. Just figure sm
out what you make working at home and the number of hours your put in to make it. Compare that with the hourly wage in a facility. Most facilities still pay hourly and some have incentive plans.
I figure around
30-35% for all taxes.. For myself, I figure I'm saving gas, clothes, time, and car repairs by being an IC at home.
Trying to figure out why you would come here with those problems.

I can figure out the percentage, but...
How does one go about figuring their estimated tax?
According to what I've read on the IRS site, we have to pay estimated taxes. Well, great. I can estimate my income at what I'm making now, just starting out, but I don't see my income staying this low, so I would eventually be underpaying. I could estimate it at a higher amount, but what if I don't make as much as I think or hope I will? I can see where getting a refund is a good thing, but I'm more worried about underpaying.
Do you pay the tax on what you've ACTUALLY made in a quarter (it kind of sounds like it) or do you go about estimating your income, say you figure you'll make $20k a year, and put 25% of that away?
Confused.
Just figure out average of how much (sm)
you have made per hour for the last, say 24 weeks. If you consistently make under $15, I'd go for the salary. If I was over most of the time, I'd go for production. Figure out what would be a fair amount of time to go back. Good luck.
You WHAT???? That's your paycheck. You should figure it out on your own. sm
Do they hold your hand all day too?
Figure this, if you did 300 lph, it would be a whopping
300 x 1.5 equals $4.50, less than minimum wage and many times when you have Filipino MTs as well as offshore MTs, everything is 100% listen so it might be difficult to get more than 300 lines an hour, but let's say you could do 400 lines an hour, that is 3200 lines a day, that would be a whopping $47
QA editors are specialists in our field and this stinks to say the least
easy way to figure
An easy way to figure would be to type a document and count it with spaces and then without -- even use MS Word -- and that will tell you the difference. Even if your line count program sounds double for caps, underlines, bold, this will at least tell you the difference between the two.
Well, I think you are right and it is strange that no one can figure it out. I am also considering
not working for anymore companies that use it. I think I lose about 75 lph at least. That adds up especially at todays rates or MTs.
Six figure income??? sm
Billers and Coders post says six figure income......yea, right!!! Same post several times.......looks suspicious to me. Maybe if you owned the company, you could get six figures....
Then she can intellectually figure out how to
do it herself! Sorry, but it does not work that way. Its the expansion system of MQ, not her intellectual property! Nice try, though. LOL
