DTSAmerica. Benefits start after 30 days too. BC/BS
I work split shift
**TransHealth??** You are mistaken. No VR at our company. nm
Are there any companies out there who provide benefits at start....sm
instead of having to wait 90 days? If so, how are they to work for?
They were to start a benefits plan this month. Did that happen? nm
s
Seem to have great benefits, which start after a month of employment. sm
Pay is so-so, level III 8 cpl, level IV 8.5 cpl, level V (high ESL) 9 cpl. Everyone seems very friendly and helpful.
Good luck! 
I will start there on Sept. 8. They have a nice benefits package, sm
and the pay via the incentive tier seems fair and easily attainable, although since I have not started on the account, I cannot really say for sure -- if it is an atrocious account, then of course that changes everything. I have not read anything bad about the company, though, so to me that is a good sign. I will be using ExText, which I have used before, so that is another plus for me.
As for choosing between IC and employee, I guess that depends upon whether you need the benefits. If you do not need the bennies and are still interested in working for them, maybe you could negotiate a bit higher line rate ... I do not know, just guessing. They also have a bonus program if you keep to your schedule each quarter, so that is a nice plus.
Good luck with whatever you decide. Like you, I would like to find a home. I have an IC position that I love and will probably never totally give up, but I would like to have the benefits and some of the tax hassle erased.
I believe it's 90 days...I got my insurance benefits (sm)
after 90 days.
There are raises. They start everyone lower now and raise at 90 days. sm
I think this is to make sure that the person is a good fit, etc.
My account occasionally has incentive pay but I think that is account-specific.
You have to wait 90 days to quality for insurance and the other benefits. sm
There are 3 different plans for coverage -- basic, choice, and ultimate, I think -- and you choose which one is right for you. I do not have the paperwork handy, but it seems like good coverage at a reasonable price (single coverage, don't really remember about family), and you can also opt for dental and vision insurance. You are right, though, the premium is deducted every 2 weeks.
Can a Diskriter MT tell me when health benefits begin (90 days, 1st full month)?
nm
That is what I just said. !0 days PTO, period. That includes vacation, sick days and personal days
They should have paid holidays so that you are paid if you take off. Also should inculde extra hours for sick days and personal days.
That annual raise of .002 is kind of a joke especially when at the same time they upped the minimum line requirement from 10,000 lines to 12,000 lines.
OSi just does not have the qualified people in management positions that I wish to work for.
I am glad that you are happy at OSi and all is working out for you. Their dishonesty and the way they treat people just does not work for me.
Of course they can get by cheaply by hiring unqualified people so that is very good for the owners.
So start your own company. That's what they did. nm

would that company start with a "T" and
end in a d? If so, I know all too well! It makes me sick. I've been doing this for 11 years and it really is getting worse and worse for MTs. They are pretty manipulative in making us think we will make more. We're not that stupid, though, to believe them. Aren't there any companies who just stick to using human MTs instead of these ignorant VR systems? If so, tell me who, please - I'm ready to throw in the towel with the company I'm at now.
No, the company do not start with an M
nm
Does this company name start with A? nm
Does that company start with a
xx
Does the name of this company start
with an M?
Does the company name start with a T??
I have been there and done that!!
What company is this? Maybe I should start looking
NM
You are mistaken. sm
 I make more than that. I have almost 20 years in the field. To my knowledge everyone starts out at 8.
I think you are mistaken
I also received a reply from this person. In the email he states that he is attaching sample files so you can hear the speakers. Nowhere in his email does he ask me to transcribe the attachments.
He later asks in the last paragraph of the email to please let him know how many minutes of dictation you can handle. I would bet money that you received the exact email that I did and you are reading something into it that simply is not there.
Why don't you just email him back to request clarification. When you list people's name and company name here and make accusations, you need to make sure that you have your facts straight.
If I am not mistaken, it is a vet - sm
This job is posted over and over and over. No one must keep it.
I MAY be mistaken, but.........sm
I think she sold to an Indian company, but as I've said, I may be mistaken. Maybe Google it to see if you can find something. 
You are mistaken
I read about this plan and it was on TV probably a month ago. It was also in one of the transcription journals I receive. This is not bashing anybody, it is simply a statement.
Just curious. Does your new company start with a P? nm
nm
Yes, I'd have a backup job..Also, does this company start with a C?? Thanks NM
This company's name doesn't start with a "K", but......
sorry you had the same experience with another company. It stinks when you are told you have failed a test but aren't given any further details.
It is a good company, how many others start - sm
you higher than 0.08 a line anymore? Very few and far between. They don't make a fortune off of you, they are not getting .20 a line and you .08, nothing like that. I have been working there for a year now, and yes some days I only make $50, others $80-$100, just depends on how much I chose to work. Have plenty of work, too much actually right now, all my accts have gone crazy lately it seems. But if any one sees this and has questions just let me know.
um, I think you're mistaken about DRC.
Not that it matters, but I believe DRC uses their own platform which is similar to DQS but much easier to learn and work with.
Mistaken posting
I think the poster is a newbie who just made an honest mistake; my concern would be with issues of identity theft and things like that. Once you post something in cyberspace, it never really goes away. I just hope she can get to a mod to have it removed. And I quit agree with anon, it does not mean she is a poor worker or anything like that. It was an error, no harm intended. But the problem of ID theft on the net still runs rampant and I hope that this innocent woman is not subject to anything out of the way because of this unfortunate error. And I do agree, Ruthie is a very gracious person. Too bad there are not more like her on this board!
If I'm not mistaken, they can't fire you for doing so
.
I start tomorrow with a small company exactly as you
Hope it works out but I've had good success in the past from companies who don't advertise.
Company start with an "E"..give us a hint. If they are doing it to someone else too, then I&#
Throwing in the towel is one way of putting it. I've done this routine too many times.
optimal - start-up flip company
Optimal readings is a start-up flip company. The CEO has been involved with numerous flips with other companies he's helped start. They are backed by investors with deep pockets, which it needs for the acquisitions they conducted last year and going forward. Because of these acquisitions, they've gone from a start-up in late 2006 to the No. 4 Teleradiology service provider in the nation. They've positioned themselves in an attractive position for one of the top 3 to buy them out. The major draw back of this company is the fact that their overhead is very high (radiologists aren't cheap, up to $350/hr) and they've resolved to billing insurance and individuals instead of billing the hospitals directly. Collections of this nature are in the 30%-40% range. While they use Billed revenue to make themeselves look attractive, their actual 'collected' revenue is significantly lower. Any company that buys Optimal Readings (which may be going under a different name now after their Dec. 6th 2007 acquisition), will be buying a money pit and will likely just liquidate their assets and adapt their clients into their system.

I also could have written your post.. Does your company start with a .....
T...??? It just sounds way too familiar and I have cut back on working for them because I'm sick of getting the garage that they won't send to the Indians
I don't know of any company that gives more than 5 days
PTO the first year. Most have a percentage they use to calculate, not sure what that is.
If you are more concerned with having days off than you are of having them off with pay then the IC route would probably be the way to go. There may be companies that offer more than 5 days PTO the first year, but you'll be hard pressed to find one.
Just like any other company these days

You were there 3 whole days and you think you know the company? Wow, sm
talk about a snap judgment. Sounds like you are thin-skinned.
Well, they must have mistaken me for a person who was desperate
I told them no thanks. You would think that once they found an experienced MT, they would try to keep them instead of handing them crap. Apparently, they cannot find anyone else because they have been calling me for weeks, but I was not available. I decided to give them a try and look what they try to stiff me with. Good grief. Glad to be rid of this headache. On to my next 4 job offers.
Don'r forget, when you first start direct deposit with any company sm
sometimes you get a paper check the first pay period.
I don't see ANY MT company names on this list!! Everybody PLEASE start e-mailing.

OMG! I'm dying for benefits too, but not at that company.

Which company has the best medical benefits?
I have been searching for the company with the best medical benefits. After I test with the company and get a job with benefits they always offer crap insurance and it is expensive! Is there such thing as good benefits while working from home? I have been an IC for the past 10 years and never opted for insurance with companies that do offer it with employee status. I have also checked into private insurance, but the deductibles seem high. Thanks for any help or advice!!!
My company gives a bonus after 90 days.
A company would be stupid to give a bonus upfront because they would have people work the minimum amount of time necessary to get the bonus. I've been other posts where the company will give the bonus spread out over a year.
Must be mistaken. Read lots, retain little. Happens with age. Sorry. nm
Does your company start with a T... If so, I feel your pain and it does no good to complain. No one
cares. Tell me how you go from over 200 jobs in a queue to nothing in a few hours. Hmmmm. I smell offsourcing. Not happy. I just got a second job and thank goodness. It will save me when there is no work which is too often for my liking.
MD-IT Intelligent- Any new information on this company i.e. pay, benefits etc.
TIA
what company offers the best health benefits?
What company offers the best health benefits?
As far as:
waiting period before they start (I'm looking for 90 days or less),
how much they cost for yourself and dependents (I have myself +1 - spouse - can pay maybe $300/month out of paycheck at most),
PEC lookback period (preexisting condition - example - look back 3 months is better than 1 year),
pharmacy cost (I need a flat rate copay, not a percentage, with no yearly cap, and brand names and generics)
Anyone who has been happy or unhappy with their insurance through their work-at-home MT company, please share your experience and opinions. Thanks

Busiest Days of the Week for Your Company?
I always thoughts Sunday nights were busy, getting preops ready, etc., Monday's are pretty busy and Friday is always busy, but the days in between seem to be really slow this year. Is anyone finding certain days of the week to be busier than others?
I'm curious if this is the same company who takes like 30-45 days to pay
and it's lower pay. I could have it confused but last year I was going to contract with a company with that name or similar but decided against it when I read the contract about the pay schedule.
Is there any company that doesn't have high ESL now days? nm
