Yes - and plant closings. Has to be 33% or more of workforce

In Reply to: This law only applies to mass - layoffs. NM

The biggest loopholes (for MTSOs) are faltering business or unforeseen business circumstances. The loss of a client, for instance, might open either loophole for them to skate through.

Unfortunately, clients make it a habit to keep it a deep, dark secret that they're switching to another vendor until the last possible moment so that the current vendor won't start moving people to other accounts, putting their work at the bottom of the pile, etc. I've seen them call up on a Friday and say 'Oh, by the way, ummm...on Monday you'll probably notice a slight dropoff in the work. How many minutes should you plan for? Oh, probably somewhere around NONE. Goodbye!'

Spoken like true management plant!

There is no shortage. And as far as the "aging workforce" sm
if they'd pay me what I am WORTH instead of fractions of a cent maybe I wouldn't have to work 2 jobs 7 days a week and age myself even effing faster.

Respect the American workforce?
Since when did sending American jobs overseas equate to respecting the American workforce? I am so happy that I do not work for any of these sleazy, offshoring MTSOs. People, get out while you can, seriously. This is pathetic!

Excalibur Remote workforce
They want a fee of $55.00 I was offered a job there, too, but I wouldn't do it because of the fee.

"Aging workforce" refers to the population in general - not MTs.
It's pretty well documented that with the baby boomers aging, that anything related to healthcare including transcription will increase in demand. Supply will not exceed that demand.

Yes - Excalibur Remote Workforce is Legitimate although there is a small fee!
They are legitimate although they do charge a small fee which I didn't mind paying since they are legitimate.

I joined with Excalibur and I have been happily working with the company now for 5 months as a contractor on their client referral position as Medical Transcriber.

Don't let the fee discourage you - its for your background check verification and their work at home job bank registry.

Thanks & Good luck!
