In Reply to: Um, I believe poster was referring to eTrans - Not TT
and they do not have any VR accounts. Sorry about the confusion.

Sorry, that should be employer!

If I were an employer
and observed the way some of the people behave on this board. I think I'd be giving psychological tests as well.
As with any employer..
They expect you to work your shift. If you want a schedule that is flexible, become an IC.
You need to ask your employer how they
count lines. Vary from MTSO to facility. Everybody is different.
No. If you are an IC your employer does
not withhold anything, you are totally responsible for federal and state and SS taxes. Most companies pay the IC a higher rate than employees because taxes are not withheld.
They are an at-will employer
and if you can't do x-number of lines in an x-amount of time with 98% or better accuracy, 40+ hours a week on a strict schedule, don't even bother. You can just imagine the kind of accounts they have.
No, this they cannot do, not an employer,
this is discrimination.
Health insurance company operate like that.
Do you ask your employer's permission to do everything
in your life?
I don't. I did what was best for me.
They purchase my skills and expertise from me while I am on the clock for them. I don't share their secrets with the enemy nor vice versa. I have maintained my quality and production the entire time I've worked for them.
I don't ask for permission before I go do what I need to for my household.
You're right. MQ doesn't seem to have a problem with it. Spheris would not feel the same way, probably.
MDI is very good as an employer, think they
have IC status but not sure and also may have SE status. They are flexible as long as the accounts stay in turn-around time. They are good to work for. I have been there since 3/2004, started part time, went full time in 05/2004 after I tried them out to see how I would like it.
To tell current employer or not? SM
I am currently looking for a new job. I love it where I work now, but need benefits and they do not offer them. On applications they want to know if they can contact current/prior employers. I certainly don't want to put no (as I'm quite sure that would raise a red flag), but I just worry how my current employer will react if he gets a call from prospective new employers asking about me.
Should I write my current employer and explain why I'm looking for work rather than let him be shocked to get a call out of the blue? Guess I already know the answer, but am so worried. Would hate to burn my bridges if the new job doesn't work out. Ugh...I sound terrible.
What would you do?
Thanks!
By all means ask. I have and my employer was
They want you to be as productive as possible. If you're not producing lines, they aren't billing and receiving for them either!
Do you always believe what your employer tells you?
I worked for a local company and transcribed university hospital and VA reports. The company was pretty busy - 100 MTs across the country and the owner whined all the time about how he couldn't make ends meet and couldn't pay MTs more - blah, blah, blah - but I certainly never got any tissues out during these meetings. We found out from the bookkeeper later that the company charged and got18 cents per line and that was 6 years ago. Then he increased his charge to a large account the next contract bid and lost it and and didn't have the guts to lay off by senority and just let everyone keep working with promises they were seeking new accounts that didn't happen very quickly at all while we were all out of work and scrapping to find what we could. It is called GREED.
been there, done that - on the employer side..sm
not a lawyer, and not MT environment at that time. Did briefs, etc when working as secretary in legal dept of company (factory type/employee paid piecemeal wages for on-site work). Unless you can prove the time card was fraudulently filed (the hours were not actually worked), the company is responsible for payment of the OT. The advanced approval is not part of the law, only of the company policy. The company's recourse is through discipline for failure to follow company policy, but cannot withold pay. The laws have been tweaked some since then, but not to that point.
If you are IC, the company is NOT your employer.

Best employer who provides equipment
I may be changing jobs soon. I will spare you the gory details of why. Anyway, can someone tell me who you consider to be the best employer? I need one who provides the employee's equipment. I am also looking for one that does not offshore, pays well (I have 25 years experience), good insurance, steady work, minimal ESL, HOPEFULLY DAY SHIFT OPENINGS M-F, and let's see, I guess that would mean I am looking for the perfect employer! Opinions invited!
As long as the new employer does not
contact them, and you can request they not, how would they know??
If Transolutions is not your employer
I don't care what location your talking about. Transolutions in Illinois advertises they do not outsource. The connection to India is clearly the company in Illinois.
Is that employer's initial FI? nm

Depends on who the employer is ...
and if it's okay with them ... signed confidentiality agreements and QA issues can make this a deal breaker.... not to mention income reporting for the IRS ...
You MIGHT be able to act as a and MTSO or subcontractor ... but I'd check the fine print of YOUR contract. I've known of people who did this -- usually an older MT mentoring a newbie family member with 100% QA on all work -- but problems with keeping within TAT and, I think, the requirement to use a very very basic platform in which overlap of login/hours/senders would not intrude ... might work, but might not be worth the effort.
Doing such a thing behind an employer's back is a gonna bite you in the butt move for sure. IMHO there's a fairly strong likelihood you'd get caught, so get it okayed before you try.
The IC who works on an employer-SM
directed schedule and is required to ask for time off and other things only employees do is the same as the person who wants to come in and do transcription for 4 cpl. It DOES impact the situations ICs can find in the future - the first thing the MTSO says is **well, I have ICs who work the schedule I tell them to and if you won't I'll find more people who will**
From what my employer says, the 50 have to be within so may miles of one another
Yes, there have to be 50 but they have to be within a certain mile radius before we are eligible for FMLA. It really doesn't count for home MTs if this is the case.
Let me get this straight. Your employer
sold out to a company who offshores to India, and now you may well be going the route of Cbay, Medquist, etc., with all your work dwindling & being sent to Indians, and YOU feel guilty? That's absurd. I have no sympathy or loyalty or appreciation for ANY company who sends our work overseas, sacrificing patient safety for the almighty buck and thereby screwing over American MTs.
eTransPlus
Since it seems to work when I post a reply I'll ask my question here. I saw in the archives 5 posts on eTransPlus that were all favorable. But the last one was in March 2005. If anyone still works there can you just e-mail me or reply to this?? I was wondering about their pay and flexibility with scheduling. I know sometimes we just have to "take the plunge" but I want to just see if I can find out if things were still pretty smooth there. Thanks.
eTransPlus
Month we were running out of work, didnt hear from supervisors at all when inquired about getting another account, after emailing them several times. Now that there is a very high backload, we're getting emails from them. eTransPlus have gone and is going through changes. The way we get paid has changed. It is now on a graduated scale- So, if you want to make at least 9cpl, you will have to produce 1601 lines per day- If you're not a high producer, don't expect to get more than 6 or 7 cpl.
eTransPlus
Thanks..it sounds like it's not too bad if there's plenty of work..I'll probably end up staying put... .. thanks again!!
etransplus
 If you want to work for crooks and liars, you can work for them, but you will constantly run out of work and they will make promises to you until they are blue in the face and you have to file bankruptcy. They don't care about you as the main person behind their business success, you are just a number, and they will send you insulting gifts just to let you know how much you really are appreciated. So all I saw is beware and don't put all your eggs in the EtransPlus basket for goodness sake.
eTransPlus
I appreciate the info..I'll stay put for a while!! thanks much!
ETransPlus
They have had an ad for radiology people for a new account.
eTransPlus
You want JS to email you?
eTransPlus
Any information about this company would be appreciated. I sent my resume yesterday, and within two hours had been called and offered a job. Sounds great, but it all happened so fast, I have not had time to find out anything about the company, specifically, do they communicate with their MTs, do they run out of work, and do they have a platform where you can make decent money.
eTransPlus
Thank you for the reply. I too did a search but could not find anything recent. As you know, in this business, things change so often, a company that was running out of work six months ago could be overloaded now. As well the management could have changed five times since then! But, thanks for the suggestion.
etransplus
They have re-record and you cannot hear the jobs. The people are nice enough, but you just can't hear the work.
Etransplus...anyone currently there? sm
I am currently looking towards going back home to work and would like any input on Etransplus, Is the health insurance any good? It would be just for me. Is there any flexibility throughout day, do they pay shift premium? Thanks!
ETransPlus
Any current happy campers? I did a search but everything seems to be at least a year old.
EtransPlus???
Any updates on this company? I read some prior posts back in 2005 and was wondering if things have changed. Thanks for any input as I am thinking of making a change.
eTransPlus
I work for eTransPlus and I love it there. Would definitely recommend it!
eTransPlus
Does anyone work for these people and if so, what info can you share? Thank you.
eTransPlus sm
I work for eTrans and love it. I don't use ExText, so I don't know how that is set up. They do not have ASR and do not offshore. I've been with them for 6 months now and was with the Q before that and absolutely love it here.
eTransPlus
Anyone know anything about eTransPlus?
etransplus
I've worked for eTransPlus for about 6 months. Usually plenty of work, paid on time, etc. I didn't take out the insurance though, so don't know if that is worth it or not.
eTransPlus
Anyone who has applied at eTransPlus heard from them yet? I am getting anxious. My current is going to VR and I really don't want to to that. I much prefer straight transcription.
RE: Etransplus
Anyone currently working for Etransplus? Any experience with their Propietary (?) platform? TIA
Anybody know anything about etransplus? nm

eTransPlus
Would like to know if eTransPlus workers have any trouble getting a decent line count so they make a good cpl rate because of the tiered way of paying? Overall, do you think they are a good company to work for? Thanks for your help.
eTransplus
Is anyone a current employee of this company? Thanks!
eTransplus
 could you email me at gin3tac@yahoo.com ? Thanks!
eTransPlus
Does anyone work for this company? It seems like they post job openings every other day and I was just curious as to why. Do they overhire? Are they really that busy? Are they a good company to work for?
TIA
Etransplus.........sm
I was considering them, but really do NOT like that tiered pay thing. Does anyone work there or have worked there share to comment? Thanks.
ETransPlus
Are there any MTs out there who work for Etrans that get a decent line count lately? I am so tired of these piddley paychecks I keep receiving after sitting here for 40 hours a week with very little work! I can't even remember the last time I got 10,000 lines in a pay period. Just wondering if it's just ME. I could be out picking up tin cans on the side of the road and make a better living!
3rd largest DOMESTIC employer
Besides MedQ and Spheris, who else has 750 domestic MTs? And to answer your question before you ask; yes, CyMed really does have that many. I work in the corporate office and they've been stuffing envelopes for employee Christmas cards and gifts all week. (Finally getting them out the door on Monday.)
that employer requires employees not to say anything on the
