She's going to benefit from it, too, so don't
If she's going to pay the person part of her rate, then she's obviously going to have her doing part of the work assigned to her, and she's still going to make 6.5 cpl off this gal. Not to mention, the original poster knows nothing of this person and she could stiff her for pay entirely. I would be very leery of a work offer such as this. The original poster would be better off going directly to doctors' offices or other services and offering a free trial of her work. However, if she went to a decent school, her school should help her obtain PAYING work upon graduating.
It's a benefit to me.
All those who doesn'ts you mentioned are actually tax deductions, which overall lowers your tax burden anyway. I love working from home and do consider it a benefit not having to commute, deal with office politics, boss breathing down my neck, etc. I did take a pay cut to work at home and am still glad I did. This is just my opinion and I am one of the rest of the working world. I love Judge Judy too.
I would like that benefit best of all, lol nm

What is the benefit of IC if they tell you when to work. nm
:
Those in need do not benefit from outsourcing
The people in need do not get anything. They will continue to starve while the upper castes/classes become more and more of a consumer-driven society.
What they want is a benefit-less employee.nm

There is one loophole to their benefit.
I got caught in this with the birth of my last child. You have to have worked a certain amount of hours within the past year. Its an average of 24. If you worked enough hours to qualify, then you can absolutely take all 12.
You can say that again. Never for the MT. I get sick of being taken advantage of for their benefit.
Could you tell me about their platform and if family med ins is a benefit, PTO etc..
Please give more details. Do you work for them now? Pay rate?
Another benefit of employee status over IC
Many people are uninsurable or have family members who are uninsurable if they were to try to get health insurance on their own. Getting it as an employee of a company is their only way to insure themselves. As long as there has not been more than a 63-day break in coverage, if you are an employee, not only does the insurance company have to accept you, they also have to accept all your preexisting conditions. Health insurance with most companies is not cheap anymore, but expensive insurance is better than no insurance.
Where is our benefit at TT? Too long to get pregnant !! nm

Maternity leave benefit
I would like to know if there are companies that offer maternity leave benefit for FT?
HOW IS WORKING HOME A BENEFIT???--sm
Like Judge Judy said in her books, Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining. Who benefits the most (financially) from MTs working at home? Who doesn't have to provide an office? Who doesn't have to provide a PC (except for a fee)? Who doesn't have to pay the electric bill to use this equipment? Who doesn't have to pay the MT's phone bill? Who demands the MT have high-speed cable internet connection? Maybe your definition of benefit is different from the rest of the working world, but I/we count a benefit as something we can take to the bank, i.e., insurance, PTO, etc. (FT only, yet). 
Unpaid time off - a benefit?
New one to me. Never heard of it unless ofcourse you have used up your PTO and need to take off unexpectedly. As far as using your PTO when there is no work, I think that is totally unfair. That should be your OPTION, not a requirement. Suppose you had plans for that PTO? I also do not believe you should have to clock out when there is no work, unless you want to work outside of your shift. I mean your shift is your shift. It should be up to the company to supply you with work during your shift and if they can not do that, then THEY should be the one with the problem.
I worked in-house for many years by the hour. When there was no work, I left the office. To tell you the truth, when I started working at home I worked longer and harder than I ever did in the office. Ofcourse since I was more productive, I made more money. I think our jobs should be considered just as valuable as any inhouse employee, maybe even more so, and should include the same benefits if we are more productive and cost inefficient. I mean, can they really have it both ways?
I usually try to give the benefit of the doubt,
but unfortunately that sounds like a big fat lie. But I am no longer expecting honesty, respect or anything else. They told me when I hired on, that ABSOLUTELY NEVER would they outsource our work. Period. Well partnering with one who does, is the same thing, IMO. Of course they know what the pay scale is. That answer just tells me its not good for us...
How is their benefit package? Insurance costs, etc?

Nah, even more work and the benefit of letting you make a
Thank you for the reply - is there any benefit to saying you will type 1000 per day?
Can someone sign on for 500 and type more than that? What I am asking is, is there any benefit to signing up for 1000? :-)
the benefit package for Diskriter is the only reason I am looking at them...nm
;o)
Some people who work in offices have that benefit, but no MT
booooooo
Approximate benefit costs/pay cpl difference
Does anyone have just single coverage for yourself through Keystrokes, around age 40; how much approximately per pay period? Also, is there usually a higher line rate paid for acute care and Ops compared to ER? Any info appreciated. Thanks for all your help.
Need health ins in 30 days ..what companies have that benefit?
Hi, I really need health insurance faster than 90 days.
Does anyone know the companies that offer it effective in 30 days? I have seen a few advertised but can't find them.
any help would be appreciated ... thanks in advance
Did you understand the part about the SE comprehensive benefit plan.
Well, besides the outsourcing, they manipulate the line count for their benefit. nm.
nm.
OMG! That is an awful benefit plan! Are you kidding me? You contribute nothing to the
cost of health insurance? One day of bereavement leave? You seem to be proud of this package. I would be hanging my head in shame were I you!
This is home based with full benefit package. (nm)

I hate it when people tell me that working at home is a benefit (sm)
Benefits are something that the company pays for. No use as MTs. If it was a true benefit, then they should give us the money to cover the costs of what daycare would be, because if you have kids, generally they stay at home with you, right? So, they should be compensating us for daycare costs on top of what we already make. Now THAT would be a benefit!
Actually, having employees work at home is a benefit...TO THE COMPANY
more than the employee. The company doesn't have to pay for office space, electricity, etc.....
I try to be kind and give people the benefit of the doubt, but I have to agree. sm
It all sounds like a bunch of hooey. My ex husband used to tell lies when the truth would have worked better. Perhaps she is related to him.
I cannot believe any MT would not know at least the most important aspects of the BOS. True, with some accounts, you ignore the BOS and do it however the client wants it, but still, you should KNOW the rules.
Maybe I'll just put out a shingle and call myself a lawyer. Of course, I know nothing about the law ... but maybe that shouldn't be a problem. 
Probably some people will move on and the company saves on benefit pkgs. (sm)
Telling us work is coming in at some time in the future is fine, but right now we have lost more than we have gained and like you said, if we speed up we will run out quicker. Not to mention that we will all have to work a little harder in order to make nearly the same as we did before. Panic will make our fingers work even faster.
Remember the memo we got about over-editing. Bet your butt we won't be over editing in the future. If this ISR is so good, it shouldn't need too much now should it?
Prior search shows 8.5 cpl for FT benefit position. Do you still make this base pay after 1-1/2

In the early days, MedQuist said working at home was a benefit, therefore at-home sm
employees did not receive as many benefits as those working in-house. As I believe, it was something like at-home employees got 3 days off a year versus 10 days for the in-office employees -- WHAT?!!! I told them it made no sense to me, since by working at home I was saving them money -- no need to provide office space, equipment, references, utilities, etc. -- yet I get shafted. I was only part-time when they took over the previous company with their great policies, and I told them to kiss where I can't.
