Very nice owner, nice work, nice place - sm
the leave you alone. I left because they do not budge from their pay which was kind of mediocre. I would go back if I had to because they were extremely nice.
Look up the definition...
Definition of IC
I just experienced something horrible that happened to me this week. I've been an IC with a small transcription company (prefer not to mention name) for almost 1 year now. The manager has her moods. When I started to work this week, I noticed nothing was in my job que to type. I kept e-mailing her and e-mailing her and she never responded back. I then tried calling her and she never responded back. I started to get very frustrated. I found out from another IC that she had given my work to another IC without even confronting me. I know that an IC is different than a permanent employee, but how on earth could anybody treat somebody like that for no reason at all. Talk about being angry and frustrated! Luckily, I was able to find work pretty fast, but it really stinks when you are an IC that a company could just let you go for no reason at all and especially totally ignoring your e-mails and phone calls. Has anybody experienced what I just went through?
Definition of IC
The HR manager wants me to call her on Monday in regards to explain to me what the exact term of 1099/IC means. I did e-mail the staff that I was upset that I did not have any work in the cue for 9 straight days. They told me that's the definition of being an independent contractor. You would think they would have at least told me that TOA account went away. They did not even put me on another account. I would be sitting here for months without anything to do unless I did not catch looking on Global Documents and realizing that all of the TOA doctors were gone on the list. How would you handle that if you were an MT? I know you were QA2, but imagine being in my situation.
I've got your definition
IC means they don't promise you a thing with regard to volume of work, but expect you to work as if you were an employee...
IC used to mean Independent Contractor - you contract with a service or doctor/hospital to provide certain services. They define the job needed to be done, but *you* set your price.
To be fair, a qualified MT still has the ability to negotiate rate, etc., and many MTSO's are flexible and fair. Too many however, (MQ) are so totally corporatized they are quickly moving to force the former independent into a employee status - and in the process removing *much* if not all of the production pay incentives that used to make this work (more)bearable.
Watch the new trend: Pay newbies nothing and QAers very little and end up with a finished product that nets a bigger profit. Hey, if we stand for it, we deserve to be exploited.

Definition of 10-key skills
Accounting courses teach 10-key skills by touch the same way typing courses teach keyboarding by touch. When you are entering numbers, it is much, much, much easier and faster to use the keypad to the right instead of the numbers on the top row of the keyboard. This is by touch, not by hunting and pecking the numbers to the right of the keyboard.
What's your definition of life?
It depends on what your definition of a life is. I don't have kids, so having a weekend free is not important to me. I don't believe in organized religion (but have great faith in God) so going to church isn't an issue. I love having days off during the week so I can do appointments, etc., easier without intruding on my workday. I am a night owl, so the shift I work for my MTSO which is 5 pm to 1:30 am is perfect for me. I love my schedule.
Saturdays and Sundays are the busiest days for work, especially if you're in acute care, so it makes sense to me that's when they want the most coverage.
I have lots of work in a failing economy, so I never complain about it.
Employee VS IC definition
You need to read up on IC VS employee status deinitions according to IRS and labor department. Google the term and read up a bit. Here is a page, click the various titles and they open up
Actually it's the exact definition of it.

Depends on your definition of holiday pay - sm
Several companies pay 1.5 times base if you work the holidays they recognize. If the holiday falls on your regularly scheduled day, you either have to work it or use PTO hours (or sometimes you are able flex that time and work it later) to be off on the holiday.
Do you know the definition of RUMOR? Sheesh!

definition of a cherry picker
Cherry picking is when you get routed the easiest docs to transcribe from a particular account or when the gals in the office get routed the easier docs and leave the crap for the rest of us to do. I do every single doctor that comes to me on my account and do not pass it on to my coworkers. If I were doing that you better believe I would be hearing it from my coworkers as some of us talk between one another!!! You do not know what you are talking about and I am getting the impression that you are either a newbie or extremely immature. Somehow you seem to think that I owe you good accounts. Go out and find them, they are out there!!! Sounds like you are too afraid to expect more and lack the assertiveness necessary.... All careers have people who make the low end, middle end, and high end pay wise and job wise. I choose, here I use the word again choose to be one of the ones on the top end of the pay scale. It works the same way with for instance my husband's job. He chose to move his way up the ladder while other guys stayed down. What, is he supposed to stay down because they choose to not get ahead??? This is all so infantile... I gotta get back to work or maybe my coworkers will start to feel I am not pulling my weight!! Gee wiz....
Depends on your definition of change
No where on Nuance site could I find where it said they were moving everything to the US. Heard from Indian company the other day who was trying to recruit that Focus is hiring like crazy and are even signing up companies over there to subcontract their work to. Kinda interesting since they profess that they own all their own labor.
How is that going to help me? I wasn't asking for a definition of IC vs Employee
Just want to find a new job.
Definition of an Independent Contractor
Defining the Independent Contractor
No consistent, uniform definition distinguishes an employee from an independent contractor. Some statutes contain their own definitions. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that when a statute contains the term employee but fails to define it adequately, there is a presumption that traditional agency-law criteria for identifying master-servant relationships apply (National Mutual Insurance Co. v. Darden, 503 U.S. 318, 112 S. Ct. 1344, 111 L. Ed. 2d 581 [1992]).
One comprehensive test that takes into account agency-law criteria and numerous other factors courts have created to define independent contractor status was developed by the Internal Revenue Service. Known collectively as the twenty-factor test, the enumerated criteria generally fall within three categories: control (whether the employer or the worker has control over the work performed), organization (whether the worker is integrated into the business), and economic realities (whether the worker directly benefits from his or her labor). The twenty factors serve only as a guideline. Each factor's degree of importance varies depending on the occupation and the facts involved in a particular case. Twenty-factor test [nl] 1.
A worker who is required to comply with instructions about when, where, and how he or she must work is usually an employee.
2.
If an employer trains a worker — requires an experienced employee to work with the worker, educates the worker through correspondence, requires the worker to attend meetings, or uses other methods — this normally indicates that the worker is an employee.
3.
If a worker's services are integrated into business operations, this tends to show that the worker is subject to direction and control and is thus an employee. This is the case particularly when a business's success or continuation depends to a large extent on the performance of certain services.
4.
If a worker's services must be rendered personally, there is a presumption that the employer is interested in the methods by which the services are accomplished as well as in the result, making the worker an employee.
5.
If an employer hires, supervises, and pays assistants for a worker, this indicates control over the worker on the job, making the worker an employee.
6.
A continuing relationship between a worker and an employer, even at irregular intervals, tends to show an employer-employee relationship.
7.
An employer who sets specific hours of work for a worker exhibits control over the worker, indicating that the worker is an employee.
8.
If a worker is working substantially full-time for an employer, the worker is presumably not free to do work for other employers and is therefore an employee.
9.
Work performed on an employer's premises suggests the employer's control over a worker, making the worker an employee. This is especially true when work could be done elsewhere. However, the mere fact that work is done off the employer's premises does not necessarily make the worker an independent contractor.
10.
If a worker is required to perform services in an order or sequence set by an employer, the employer has control over the worker that demonstrates an employer-employee relationship.
11.
A worker who is required to submit regular oral or written reports to an employer is likely an employee.
12.
Payment by the hour, week, or month tends to indicate that a worker is an employee; payment made by the job or on a straight commission points to an independent contractor.
13.
A worker is ordinarily an employee if an employer pays for the worker's business or travel expenses.
14.
An employer who furnishes a worker with significant tools, materials, or other equipment tends to show that the worker is an employee.
15.
A worker who significantly invests in facilities used to perform services and not typically maintained by employees (such as office space) is generally an independent contractor.
16.
A worker who can realize a profit or loss resulting from her or his services is generally an independent contractor.
17.
A worker who performs for more than one firm at a time is generally an independent contractor.
18.
If a worker makes his or her services available to the general public on a regular and consistent basis, that worker is generally an independent contractor.
19.
An employer's right to discharge a worker tends to show that the worker is an employee. An employee must obey an employer's instructions in order to stay employed; an independent contractor can be fired only if the work result fails to meet the agreed-upon specifications.
20.
If a worker has the right to terminate her or his relationship with an employer at any time without incurring liability, such as breach of contract, that worker is likely an employee.
See: Employment Law; Labor Law; Master and Servant.
Just a quick definition for you anon for now...
SATIRE
1.the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc.

3. a literary genre comprising such compositions.
obviously my post wasn't trying to trick anyone into believing I was a TT CEO, I didn't even give his name, and if anybody is slow enough to think that I am the CEO for a minute, please email me, I have a bridge to sale you.
This whole thread is about the pay decreases and why they are happending...satire, my friend, satire. I need to buy you one of those word-a-day calendars.
Everyone has a different definition of good money. Mine is 50K or more.

definition of decent: Acceptable standards
making $50,000 a year as an MT is beyond decent, it is really great, but realistically a decent living would be less, which is what the poster asked, as the definition of decent is to have acceptable standards.
Axolotl employees----have questions about line definition, etc. sm
How does Axolotl define a line? Do they pay for spaces, headers, footers, & expansions? Are you docked for blanks or sending things to QA? If so, how much.
Thanks for the info. 
Have a fabulous 4th!
Very nice people, nice place to work. nm

Yes, nice QA (and nice people in general), but very little work right now. nm

Yes! Nice lady, nice company. nm

I second that. Amphion is nice, nice, nice

Are you serious? Someone doing 1000 lph?
I have not seen that. Don’t know how in the world that would be done.
1000 LINES PER DAY
How long does it take to do 1000 lines per day for a mix of dictators for acute care. Thanks
It's $1000, and you would't believe what the premium is. nm

950-1000 weekly?
So I am curious, what company do you work with to make 950-1000 a week? I will be a new MT at the end of May next year, and I would like to know. If you dont mind that is.
When I said $1000 a month - sm
I meant that is what it would cost to get a good family policy without a ridiculous deductible through other companies.
I was offered a position by another company and turned it down because the premium was $900+ per month. However, it covered a lot more and had much less out of pocket than this policy has turned out to have. Maybe I should have chosen differently.
Minimum of 1000 lpd at 8 to 8.25 cpl. nm
f
Meaning, you are not getting 1000....
which I thought was the requirement. I have a friend who tried them out and went days without work.
DSG is 35hrs/1000 lpd.
.
i strive for $1000 a
week and can usually hit it in 40 hours or so.
$1000 deductible
I'm single and I pay $75 per period for the $1000 deductible, $25 office visit. There is also a $2000 deductible option that a single person would pay $37.50 per pay period, $30 office visit.

MedWare might be 1000 lpd for FT as it's 500 lpd for
s
I had over 1000 lines my first day
Still going up as I build my Expanders and get used to the docs.
they have ins with a $1000 deduc sm
or 2500 deduc. About a 30 dollar difference per month. 401 K, dental, eye, life insurance, etc. etc. Pretty decent package.
Over 1000 lph? You must be rich!
LOL
even 6 a ripoff $7,50 hr/1000 ln/day 125 ln hr
that is $60 a day. Take longer than 8 hours, less hourly. Com'on. Com'on. Wake up, lesser of the 2 evils acceptable. Nope, not me.
$1000 weekly gives me a goal to aim for
I look forward to reaching that goal!
What is a good pay per 1000 words?
How many words are on a 65 character line - in general?
$100 per year? I was spending about $1000 sm
with my yearly membership to AAMT, a subscription to the journal, membership dues for my local chapter and fees for attending symposia for credits, the cost of driving/traveling to these things, etc. The math didn't work for me one single bit.
I produce around 1000 lines per day...
I have seen my production increase quite a lot in the last four months. When I first started I could only get about 500 lines a day...so I get a little more every day. :-)
I make 950-1000 per week
I am an employee, only 8 cpl with incentive over 1200 lpd, work a strict 8 hr/day, 40 hr/wk shift. I do work on only one account, about 75% op notes, although it is a very large teaching hospital so still have a very large variety of dictators (currently wrestling with my list of 500+ new residents for this summery). I have full hospital benefits. It is possible.....
$700 is very good, except as IC you are losing 7.5% in having to pay your own taxes.
Do you have enough work? 1000 lines a day?
I have read on some of the threads that there is not enough work to keep everyone busy.
Ok, my tax person saying on every $1000 made
I should put aside about $200.00 in the bank. I pay state tax, SS and federal, of course. That does not seem like that much to pay but I guess tax folks should know?
Over 1000?! I left there 18 months ago...
..and there were only 300 or so! They hired that many since then?
Ex Recruiter
at 80+ reports a day, you are getting more than 1000 lines in
