As long as they can get people to take those ridiculous wages that is what they will offer. Your an IC so you have no benefits, thus they do not have much of an overhead and you can bet they are getting a whole heck of a lot more cpl than they are offering their MTs.. but I guess that is the only reason they are in business... to make a huge profit. Unfortunately, at YOUR expense. What a sad day... 1.5 cpl..

Acute and/or clinic work? Set schedule or flexible hours? Thank you! nm
Need good small company to work for with flexible schedule - e-mail me.nm

DSG is awesome-pay on time, management is great, plenty of work, flexible schedule. nm
It is IC work, no benefits, make your own schedule. sm
The pay is a bit on the low side for IC work, but the work is easy, the people are great, and the pay is always on time, once a week, direct deposit. Hope this helps.
Flexible schedule
This comes up a lot, but you have to look at it from their point of view. You are an employee and therefore expected to work a scheduled shift. They can't have their MTs signing on and working whenever they please they have to know the accounts are covered. Hey, if that's the worst thing we can say about them, then that's a really good thing. They really are worth giving up a weekend and 3 holidays a year for all the benefits of being a Transtech MT. I've worked for several companies, including some of the big boys, none can compare to TransTech. I'll be with them until I retire.
flexible schedule
MDI of Maryland allows a 24-hour window to do whatever lines you commit to. I work for them and have a flexible schedule. Phone 301-921-2006. Tell them you want to get in touch with Carlotta.
if they have the flexible schedule you want, then
you sound like you're just out here to pitch MDI-MD.
Flexible schedule at Transtech? sm
How flexible is the scheduling at Transtech? I'm interested in the weekend position but would need lots of flexibility...Thanks!

Company with flexible schedule
I'm an MT with 6+ years of acute care experience and a mom of 4. I love working at night when kids are in bed. I like the company I work for but they are starting to get very picky about working the assigned schedule. I received a call today stating that if was not going to be typing for a 5 minutes or more I am to log out. The problem is that I don't know how long it will take to calm down an upset child or lookup a new medication for the report I'm working on.
So the bottom line is that I need a company that will be flexible with my schedule. I would really llike to find a company that hires ICs. So is there anyone out there that works for a company who offers a flexible schedule? I,m willing to run out of work occasaionlly and I love working at night and on the weekend. I would even take a pay cut to get a company that will work with me.
Thanks,
Mariah
Really? Are they hiring? I need a flexible schedule...

It just means you have a flexible schedule,
as long as all accounts are covered when they need to be, you can change your schedule around. Where I work we have that also, we just submit each week when we will be working.

They want you to keep your schedule for TAT purposes but will work with you to find a good schedule
I love working there.
Fairly flexible but they do like a schedule. Insurance is good. Benefits are good in my opinion.
For the past week, work has been a little slower but I think that is common in every company..some days busy and other not.

I make 3 cpl editing ER reports
Please feel free to steer me toward any company who pays better. Sometimes it's even faster to retype reports completely than pick through and correct them. Anyone, plese feel free to suggest a good company that pays reasonably (doesn't even have to be great pay, just reasonable), that would be enough. Is 3 cpl reasonable for ER? Sure doesn't seem like it.

Everyone has different experiences there. I like it and never ever made 3 cpl on editing. I make
a lot more than that and started at more than that. They treat their MTs fairly. I have worked there over 2 years and won't be leaving. I make a lot of money plus have decent benefits. They have my vote
Yes, but can we make a living with 3c/l doing the editing??? That's what I'm afraid of. nm

What companies don't make you follow exact schedule?
Looking for a company that allows some flexibility on what time I type each day instead of a strict schedule that I set up. This is just to deal with occasional appointments or if the kids have a class play I want to see, etc. Most days a schedule would be fine but I also don't want to be stuck with it!
The company I used to be with was like this but they now require schedules to be followed. I see the point in that but I also know that some exist with more flexibiity!
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Can you make money editing versus transcribing at 3.75?
I really would like to hear the pros and cons of editing versus transcribing the reports. I have been offered a position with Sten-Tel at 3.75 cpl. I was told my production would increase and I would make more money. I really want to make good money, but really do not have anything to compare editing too. I have never done it before, thus I do not have a good grasp of how it would or would not increase my production. If anyone can give me a breakdown of the pros and cons at STen-Tel working at 3.75 cpl, or any information on how much you really can make editing, I would have a better understanding.
Thanks
Are you able to make decent money? I don't mind editing either...

Here's a news flash for you... many people make MORE money editing....sm
in the same # of hours in a day than they do straight transcribing. I know because I and others with the company I work for do. When I was straight transcribing I averaged making $12 an hour. Now that I'm editing about 90% of the time I'm averaging making $13.50 an hour. Now THAT pays the bills faster, and I'm still working the same # of hours a week!
Just because someone posts that VR is the wave of the future doesn't mean they're in management - they're just being realistic about what is happening in this industry (just as they referred to the copier and PCs).
Of course if you think it's really going to hurt you to do VR then perhaps you should go back to an IBM typewriter and get your own accounts. After all - using a PC and expanders is helping you get paid for work you're not actually transcribing (yup, think about those expanders - I bet you're not fussing over getting paid to have those kick in instead of having to type out those words, or consider the header information that blows in for you from an ADT feed that you're not having to manually type).
Beware of really good marketers. They spin. The marketer doesn't make your schedule. nm

My company was practically next door to JLG. They
stopped our 401K, then stopped our direct deposit, then they lost all their big accounts and we all lost our jobs.
Do you know what account she has? Hiring? That's practically a hop, skip and a jump away

They have to be flexibility because of the erratic work flow. No sense in a schedule if no work..
nm
Yes, they outsource, yes you really need to be flexible due to not enough work going around on some
accounts but they are easy to work with as far as leaving you alone to do your work. The benefits are pretty good but you have to maintain that certain line count production to get them and sometimes that can be challenging. It is just hard to have asked for a day schedule and placed on an account that really doesnt want you until until later in the day. I am not that flexible because I have a set schedule with kids, but if your a go-with-the-flow kind of girl, I'd say to try them out.

Get a grip, people!
That's because you're an IC. For employees, NOT flexible. And no work. nm

First Choice Medical- flexible? weekend work

Just be flexible with your work types and accounts and you should be fine.

Oh, I forgot to mention....must be flexible and have all day to devote to waiting for work.
The work fluctuates too much. Feast or famine there.
Much more flexible than MQ. 12-hr window to do your work. Rate is lower, but they do have incentives
Haven's started yet, but E-mail me if you'd like and I'll tell you what I can. The Q was just unbearable to me.
How flexible is flexible? A window of time? nm

Work schedule? (sm)
I am trying to come up with a schedule that will work well with an every other Sunday in it. I work a 5-day week. Any suggestions from MTs who also work this type of schedule? I really prefer to have 2 days off in a row, but I don't know how I can do that on the weeks that I work the Sundays.
If you have to work set schedule, you are no IC.
:+
You should be an IC then if you don't work a schedule
There is a reason for schedules. How would you feel if you owned a company and the employees worked whenever they felt like it whether or not STAT's were waiting. Transtech is very flexible but if you don't want to work a schedule you need to be an IC where you can work whenever you feel like it and let the owners worry about other people being dependable. It's not just TransTech - it's any company with employees. Look for an IC job.
I don't work there, but if you have a set schedule
that they need to be available 24 hours a day to be there when the work is there. Transtech has a lot to learn about being family friendly for domestic MTs. After all, that is what they hire right (domestic MTs)?
Also, maybe they ought to stop overhiring and get over themselves! JMO and I don't even work for them and probably wouldn't looking at this board. Boy, they were a hot number a while back, but now they've shown their true colors.
Don't be mad OP; everyone is entitled to their opinion. If you like working all hours of the day and night, then have at it, but don't bash the MTs that aren't in a position or don't want to be abused in that fashion. 
I make 4 cents a line, work part and make
over $500 a week on part.
Keystrokes....very flexible, tons of work, great leads, good pay...
I love it there...
Then how are you being threatened to work your schedule
?
You'd think they would love someone to work that schedule.
Where have you applied? If I was an MTSO, I would love people to work that schedule.
keystrokes work schedule
Do you have to work your entire 8-hour shift or can you stop once you reach minimum daily lines? thanks.
