I hear people talk union all the time, but no one ever
does anything about it. Personally I would never join one anyway so I don't care. I am not a single mom, but for one year my DH took off work to go to school and I was the sole support of our family. I paid all the bills, including insurance, though mine was not $700/mo. We didn't have $$ for lots of extras, but all of our normal bills were paid and our house payment was $895/mo.
I only worked about 6 hours/day at that time, though sometimes worked less and sometimes more.
Just because one person can't do 2500 lines/day or be self-supporting, doesn't mean that some of us can't. I make good money and could make more if I wanted to work more, but I don't.
No one is forcing you to be an MT. If you are unhappy with the pay, etc. find something else. Companies, MT or not, have to look out for their bottom line. MT companies are now in competition with Indian companies, or US fronts for Indian companies, who will undercut any line rate to the customer, so in order for MT companies to keep accounts they have to maintain rates. I know of one local company who went out of business because while he had not raised his rates in about 8 years, he just could not compete with other offshore companies.
It's an ASSOCIATION, people. Not a union.
It's not so. There is no union for MTs.
They have broadened their scope, true. They have finally changed their name to fit what they really are focused on -- healthcare documentation.
MTs are a vital part of that process.
However, the AAMT or AIHD or whatever is NOT your union. Stop groaning over these things.
Basically, what I'm saying is that people are so quick to want a union but...
they do not realize that in this day and age, their job can shoot straight out of the company. In fact, it's also working the opposite - Indians, Phillipines, Brazilians are being shipped in to do nursing now! South Americans are being shipped in to work on hurricane relief efforts clearing mold and hazardous material for $8.50/hour for FEMA.
But if no union shop, no union representation
You can have a trade group represented by a union, as your husband is, but if he doesn't work in a union shop (company), the union can't represent him at his place of employment. Look at nurses, for example - there is a union for nurses, but the vast majority of nurses are not union members, because their places of employment are not unionized. So it's irrelevant to the majority of nurses that there is a union to represent them.

I know that at one time a lot of people from MQ
They were raving about how good JLG was at the time. Don't know about now. There are a lot of posts on JLG if you will just do a search.
I think it is all nearly full-time people now..they may have (sm)
a few people working part-time but I'm not sure.
In this day and time people are taking
pay cuts to keep their jobs, don't think now is the time to be asking for a raise. We are on a tier system, so there is no way we can get a raise. Other companies where I have worked have always had a cap and once you reached that there were no raises.
That is just silly. People discuss pay all the time.

KS people who work on accounts with lag time (sm)
I have been having the phone line go dead and sometimes I can call right back and get my report and sometimes I lose it. I have had my cable people out here several days in a row, and they can find nothing wrong. I was wondering if this happens to others - and maybe it is a problem with the hospital line we use - not actually the line in my home. I appreciate any input. (I am new on this account so do not have enough history to know.)
People post that info all the time.

The reason PT people have a hard time/
is because the majority of PTers are very cavalier about schedules. They log on or log off at will, despite the fact they agreed to work specific days and hours. I'm sure you are very reliable, but even the company I work for will not hire PT anymore because they are either undependable or they work a month or two and quit. That's a lot of energy the company has to put in for no payoff.
but it is a free country. People ask questions all the time that
are best answered by a representative of the company in question.
I only worked there briefly, but great people, and pay always on time. sm
They do have a thing where you have to get a paper check for the first 90 days, then you can have direct deposit. The account that I was on used ExText.
Hope this helps. Good luck. 
Checks on time, 10 cents/line IC, nice people.

Give it some time. I think some people aren't working today and the ice

Lots of people are happy with them, but you DO have to "clock out" every time you leave your
s
I have found this time of year to be extremely busy. People
are scheduling elective procedures while they have a long weekend off and don't have to worry about missing work, plus docs do their best to get everyone home for Thanksgiving and I have DS galore. I do think around Christmas it slows down, but I also think there are lots of MTs taking time off during this time frame so you would think the work would balance out - less work, but less MTs, so still a fair amount of work.
It has been slow for me since at least August, so it isn't just the holidays.
I had a hard time making money. Nice people though! nm

Decent company, good people, pay on time, work low sometimes. nm

As below, they do to full time people making 900 dollars per pay period. nm

I worked there part-time briefly. People are very nice to deal with, sm
and pay was okay. You had to wait 90 days to get direct deposit, and until then checks were mailed, which is a bit of pain, but they were always on time. I didn't care that much for my account, but the leader was always quite helpful. They must be a bit disorganized, though, as I still get messages from the help desk to help out, and I have been gone at least 3 months! And the help desk is apparently in India, if that makes any difference to you.
Great bunch of people to work with, pay on time, my only problem is that QA is paid by line instead
of by the hour and you must listen to all reports 100% instead of just jumping and filling in the QA markers.
Maybe we should all form - nm

Nothing really...ASR is just MQ form of it.
Or at least as far as I know, but I've only done it at MQ...so I very well could be wrong:-)
We ought to form our own company LOL
MTs for MTs? Americans doing work for Americans? Contact them all and keep the accounts with the same Americans who have been doing the work. Okay, okay, nice fantasy, but it was fun.
A bit of gallows humor.
Just a form of advertising
Kind of like a Q&A. Like does so and so offer insurance A: Why yes they do very reasonable. Q: Any info on this company. A: Great company!! Smiley smiley tappy tappy feet. Get a room---- pleaseeeeee
If you file a form with the IRS
as an IC and think you should be classified as an employee, and they determine you have been an employee, are there tax/penalty obligations for the IC?
See Search box top of this form
you can type in Synernet and up comes other posts on company, I saw 7 cents a line, no spaces and 4 cents a line for editing with minumum lines requirments of 1600 straight typing and 2200 lines for editing. Not for me. Slave labor.
Please see response on main form (nm)

Go to your state's website and get the W4 form SM
for your state, fill it out and send it to Medware's HR department/payroll. If they still don't take the taxes out, REPORT THEM TO YOUR STATE TREASURY. The state will go after them and they will have to pay penalties.
By law, they HAVE to take state taxes out of your paycheck if you send the W4 to them. They can't refuse or avoid it.
I am in no way, shape or form trying to bash here.

I got the same form email today and
17 years experience here.
Who's going to give up the life they have now and try to form one?!!

1099 Form amount
Isn't the amount $600.00? If you make that amount or more then you must be sent a 1099 form? I do have records of all of my earnings that I made last year. I made a little over $3,000.00 with this company. It was not that much, but enough to report in.
When I was hired they sent a form letter saying
starting pay was 8 cpl - no exceptions. They talked raise frequently but never got one, never got paid for OT, never got paid for holidays. There was a problem a few months ago and pay was late as supposedly they didn't have money to meet total payroll, but I never had a problem with my check.
MQ application form after interview
Needing a new job, I applied, tested and interviewed with MQ. At the end of the interview, I was told there was one last thing I needed to do, which was to fill out another form. An application similar to the screening application I had completed when I applied initially as I understand. Well, I can't find it. I've also called them twice about it and they said I had been sent an email about it with the link. But, I have received no email about this and do not know where to find this form to complete. I was hoping someone here would know. If you do, please let me know. Thank you in advance.
Sweetness. Let's form a posse.

Go to the medquist form for the date of 03/17/09
Top of page *Two factual Verifications: and under that is: Proof taken off internet. If you click on this you will see the article regarding MQ and SPI's new contract regarding sending 2 million lines per month to them. By 2011 they will be sending 6 million.
I worked form them as well and it was a terrible
the glowing reviews on here of late, and there are 2 reasons for it: 1. For the umpteeenth time, there is some MT out here who works for a different Landmark, and she always gets in on the PA Landmark thread and claims they are wonderful. 2. I honestly believe the posters who praise were 100% management or supervisors, as I know many MTs who worked for them - we all knew each other before - and not one had a good experience, not a single one. Personalities aside, they are a tiny overflow company, and they never have steady work for even part time. So, nothing has changed, yet someone keeps lying on this board and acting like they are multiple people and how great the company is. Its so sad that this continues on here. That's why to this day I don't listen to 1 single review of a company on here. If I read good reviews, I don't believe them. If I hear nothing, I figure its a safe bet, and that finally landed me a wonderful job. But every single job that was praised on this board ended up being literal crap. So very sorry you had to learn the hard way, too. That company is a joke, though its not funny when its happening to you. Be lucky you got out as quick as you did.
How can you receive an email form your
company if your email is not typed exactly right? It will never be delivered into your inbox, but will go right back to the company, as 'not able to deliver.'
It's the adjective form calculous that modifies sm
cholecystitis. Feel free to look it up. Calculus is a noun.
Please do not put your resume in the form of a medical report.
For starters, using patient's names is incorrect and you have yours all throughout that medical report. I don't know who started this, but it is simply NOT professional and that resume will go very quickly in the dead resume bin.
WTH do they wait so long? is it a form of torture?
lazy?!?!?!
P.S. - If your company has filed form SS-8 ask for a copy.
If they won't give it to you, see if you can get it from the IRS; I believe you can.
And, of course you can still file your own SS-8 even if the company has filed it. I'm not saying an MTSO would LIE on the form they file, but anyone can make a MISTAKE...
Please form a list of nonVR companies
It would be great to have all in 1 place companies which do not have VR (and they usually are all USA too). I can only come up with 2 to start, but please add to the list. This would certainly help out those who do not wish to take the leap at this time into that kind of technology. Thanks for adding to the list.
1. Keystrokes. Very little VR, lots of straight typing. No overseas.
2. SoftScript. I think all straight typing. I do believe no overseas.
Please add to the list. It would be a helpful tool for many of us. Sorry I can't think of more, but then again, that is why I am creating this post. Thanks again.
I got one too. I turned them DOWN for a job, insurance too expensive. Don't worry, just a form
and I have well over 16 years in this bizz.
OSI true to form: I am ready to quit on the spot
I just got my latest paycheck from OSi and did not get paid the extra 5 cpl holiday pay. The reason??? With their ridiculous new holiday policy my primary and secondary accounts were out of work, did not have enough work to give me the 1000 minimum line count so therefore I did not get the extra pay for the lines that I did type. I was required to be stuck at my PC all day and constantly got instant messages from client support to make sure I was there. This is just sooooooooooo wrong. I am so fighting mad and feel like quitting right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need some help ASAP. Does anybody please know where I could get hired at another company pretty quickly? I almost don't care where it is because I am desperate. This is the last straw with OSI and I have had enough. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Still have not received 1099 form from previous employer!
Am I not correct that employeers are supposed to send out 1099 forms by the 31st of January? I quit a company back in May of 2007 and I still have not yet received a form. I guess I should contact these people? You would think they would have sent it to me by now! It's frustrating having to contact old employers because you really do not want to have to be bothered by them anymore!
Just go to MQ board and read, form your opinion from current employees (nm)

If you work for DR they send a form letter to all employees about bonuses.sm
If you work for them and are eligle, they send a form letter out letting everyone know how it was figured.
