You will not get responses on this board - ask on
MTSpot and I will tell you there. Cannot say here.
I agree, although employees do have the option of having the check Fed Ex'd. sm
However, if they are going to mail the checks, the checks should be mailed to arrive on the day of pay day and the employee should not have to pay to have their check Fed Ex'd. I am going to start working PT for Encompass, and the first check or two comes via the mail until DD is established, and they state in the contract that the checks are mailed so as to arrive on the day of pay day. To me, THAT is a sign of a company that cares.
JLG may be a great company, but it sounds like they have financial issues. I worked there a long time ago and at that time we were paid every other week. It stated in the contract that the checks would be mailed every other Friday from the Tampa airport. I waited and waited and when I FINALLY got my check, they had back dated the postage meter date to the day it was supposed to have been mailed, but it was postmarked severald days later -- like I'm so stupid I wouldn't notice!! Still, things change and personell change, and I had considered working for them again until all of this mess started up again, which obviously was a major red flag to me. I do believe that they care for the MTs, so I hope they get the financial thing solved and reinstitute direct deposit.
Medware employees, please check your Social Security statement
I worked for MW in 2005 and just got my annual Social Security statement. It has a big fat zero for my 2005 earnings. They also withheld 10% of my salary (at my request) for 401(k) account, but that account also had a zero balance. I reported that to Dept. of Labor and have now notified SS. Please be aware and check, take care of yourselves because they sure will not do it for you.

CHECK JOB BOARD--sm
as it states right in their advertisement that they pay for spaces.
Yes, check out the MQ board. There are
just as many happy employees as there are these others. Of course, MQ has thousands of MTs and only a handful post on the boards.
I have deleted one of your posts. Do not post names of employees on this board. Thank you. nm

Thanks for all your responses....sm
I'm tired of following a schedule also and all that other humhum as an employee. I like being my own boss. I'm checking on medical benefits also, and although high, I believe I can swing it.
Thank you again!
THANKS FOR THE RESPONSES!!
I knew there had to be a better way to understand these doctors. I know the mumbly ones are so used to saying things over and over again that they ramble through, skipping words, etc...They don't care that I'm new!!! I will give all of your suggestions a try - thanks a lot! Sometimes I just don't know how you do it...
Thanks for the responses. nm

Thx all for the responses.

Thanks for the responses sm
Both sound good. I didn't realize (maybe I'm naive) that services required so many weekends. The service I worked for previously required no weekends or holidays (local, not national). Currently I work 4 weekends a year and 1 holiday, which I hate as it has just changed in the last 3 years; we never were required to work any weekends or holidays for the first 10 years I worked there.
The MDI flexibility sounds perfect; however, I'm not too excited about two weekends a month. I guess I need to reevaluate what I want/need!
Thanks again for the great information!
Thank you for your responses .... nm
:)
YOu might not get a lot of responses because
most companies don't pay a percentage like MQ does. MQ does pay the most for ASR, believe me. Most companies pay around 3 to 4 cpl maximum for ASR, some in the 2's. So, you have to do the math yourself, but believe it or not, MQ is the high end, even with the latest cut. Thus the reason for the cut, and to stay competitive in the market, and the ASR market is huge right now.
Thank you for your responses.

Where were these responses before?? - sm
Would someone e-mail me with VALID points about this company? I have heard from people who love it there who gave detailed explanations why they enjoy working there. Owner extremely pleasant and kind to me. A lot of hassle of paperwork to go through to be hired - why would they then be nasty to you??
Thanks for all your responses
I am going to apply and see what happens.
Thanks everyone for your responses..
Before I could test, they sent me an email stating they had already hired someone for the job. So I am still looking.
Thanks.:)
Thanks for your responses sm
I have not worked for an out-of-state company and don't know how it works, cannot afford to be surprised with a whopping surprise phone bill. I downloaded and passed tests but did not have to accept any offers yet, so am not familiar with how the phone charges work. I know some on here have been cut off and had to pick up the tab, etc. Excuse my ignorance, and thanks for being kind enough to reply. Lots of outsourcing going on locally, have been an unwilling victim and have no clue as to long-term usage and downloading long files, etc. I don't think Vonage is available here, but shall check. Thank you again for your patience and understanding, don't need any surprises as some are not honest and forthright, as you well know!
Thanks for all your responses! I am
going to go for it. I had to decide between them and a great offer with Transcend, but I like the idea of flexibility better than shift work. Thanks again!
Responses?
Has anyone submitted the tests and received a response? The first sound file I downloaded was a little hard to hear, but the other two seemed of fairly good quality. Thanks
Thanks a lot for your responses
The thing is this multiplies when one of them is off. I already know before I start working if one is off that the other one will find some excuse not to work. It happens every week. I will take everything into consideration and hope I don't lose my job. For once I wish I got paid by the line!
Tip for better responses (sm)
You are asking a question that is far too obscure and subjective to receive good responses.
The term affordable means different things to different people.
Add a followup post to your message right under it giving a description of the insurance coverage and cost you are looking for.
Perhaps you want family medical, dental and vision and you need it to be less than $400 a month, or something similar.

i really do appreciate your responses sm
and advice...I was really struggling with this.... thanks so much for taking the time to help.
Oh for sure employees, but not too often for statutory employees. Sorry for confusion.

Attn: Any Transcend employees or former employees
I have been offered a job with Transcend, but I am not completely sure about it yet and I need some input from you guys. I have read positives and negatives regarding this company but alot of it was pretty old information. Can anyone give me some recent feedback on them? Thanks very much!!!
Where are all the responses to this post?
They were here! Now gone! What's up big brother?
Thanks for the quick responses! s/m
I can't find anything else at all. Don't know if this would help me gain exp though for medical transcription.
Where is the work at home mom's board???
Thanks again :-)
Interesting responses...sm
I am always curious about this one: Why is it that if something an MT does wrong is pointed out, the cry goes out to not lump us all together! and yet if there is a bad employer, it's they are ALL alike??? I don't think we can have it both ways. The reality is there are hard working, dedicated MTs, AND there are great companies to work for. There are also bad apples in both. We're quick to jump on the bandwagon of a bad employer and paint them all with one brush, talk about them horribly publicly, and see how much can be done to trash every service because of one.
How about with MTs? Why is this any different? You might say my experience leads me to believe they are all this way. And you know what? That's exactly what some employers are saying about the MT.
Until we learn to work together, I don't see there being a win/win for either side. I guess I'm one of the fortunate ones. I DO work for a good company and we work together as a team. And that requires BOTH parties to participate and work together.
Look, if you want up-front responses SM
from people, you need to be more up-front about who you are, what company you are hiring for, etc.
Thanks so much for the responses. You were very helpful!! nm
