IC positions offer no benefits, employee positions off full benefits, so if you do not need
benefits, then IC would be best.
Any QA positions that pay well out there, please say!
I work for a rather large company and the pay is pretty bad. You have to beg for a raise and are ignored half the time. It's pathetic. Anybody know of any good companies for a QA Editor (companies that pay more than 14 something an hour?)
I wonder why they have so many positions
They OVER HIRE on the accounts. Been sitting here for days with almost no work -yet for some reason they have so many openings. I have even asked to be but on a different account/position/shift - anything to keep consistent work flow and still nothing. FED UP.
other positions
I have found that those "other" managerial positions are being taken over by non-MTs, so theres no way you can "move" yourself up into one of these. Supervisor is another one of those less qualified positions and more of an administrative job, doing scheduling and other administrative duties that I have looked into and pay a whole lot less than what you would expect for these "titles." As far as doing QA I would talk to a manager or someone in your company and let them know you are interested. I started out doing a half and half combo MT/editing. My supervisor approached me to do this, so I would say your best bet would be to sharpen your skills as an MT. Learn how to do the foreign accented dictators, know your grammar and basic guides that your company has set forth. It never hurts to talk around and let your ambitions be known. Some companies pay by line but there are still a good many who pay per hour. I have come across many well paying hourly or salaried positions on the job seekers board. Good luck to you!
MT positions
Does anyone else with 20+ years experience get upset when they see jobs that advertise for 6 and 7 cpl?? the advertisers think that is so great. We are back in the 80s with these prices and No I am not going to count my blessings this time. They charge these facilities a lot more now than they used to and want to pay us less with no benes. Okay I vented, thanks. 
And more and more IC positions
that certainly look like they should really be employees, with demanding platform, times of day, and pay.... It's a sad state of affairs.....
If you appy, do not expect anything in return and work your schedule as an IC????? Nope! See ya! LOL
Positions
Is it 11 o'clock position or 11:00 position? Which is the corrent way to type that?
Mandatory OT?? Is this for FT and PT positions?? nm
s
Duh! There are IC positions posted all over
It is possible to be an IC while working for a service. You might want to get your smarty pants facts straight before offering your smart (dumb) remarks.
Those positions that she named must be the ones she really

There are no in-house positions where I am. Everything

People with non-MT positions
If you work at medical transcription company but as QA, manager, team lead, coordinator, etc., do you have a set amount of hours you work each day and are done, or do you find yourself working more hours than your shift?
In-house positions sm
An in-house position is a rarity these days as everything in volume is being sent out to India. Depending on your experience, I would jump at the chance to work in-house to gain experience. However, if you've been doing it for years and they want to give you minimum wage, that's different, then you have to be choosy. It all depends on your personal situation, i.e., do you need a babysitter, health care, etc., etc. Too many variables to give an educated answer. Perhaps you would hate working from home and love to get out, so it all depends on many things, not always about the money or the benefits (which are big bucks).
Applying for IC positions
I was an employee of a large national for 8-1/2 years. They provided the whole PC and set-up. I've never been an IC. Is there any point in applying for IC jobs if I've never been one? I have a PC with a temp version of Word 2007 and antivirus software, but that's it. No footpedals. TIA.
management/supervisory positions
Thanks so much. I am definitely a people-oriented person, think my communication skills are good, and I loved when we were able to give more feedback/teaching to transcriptionists when I was a QA person (they later cut out giving feedback to MTs because they wanted us to up our production as QA personnel). I absolutely would NOT miss the keyboard as I often feel chained to it and just bored stiff and burned out. I'm a very organized person so I guess those things would be pluses. Thanks for mentioning the types of college courses to look into as I was thinking of completing my bachelor's degree anyway - I'm halfway there so it wouldn't be too difficult. I thought business administration would be a good major or even health information management (although I thought business would be better as it offers a broader range of opportunity, I would think). The only problem is I almost never see jobs advertised for supervisory/management positions at transcription companies so they might be few and far between. Oh well, at least I know what is entailed. Another poster stated the pay was not any better than transcribing if you are a good producer. Any more feedback on that aspect of things would be much appreciated.
I based pay rates on positions I have
been offered in the past 6 months. Sure there are lots who pay less and some who pay more.
For those "Indenpendent Contractor" positions...
For U.S. MTs and U.S. MT companies, here are the basic U.S. Dept of Labor definitions of who is and is not an "Independent Contractor":javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');

I didn't apply, so that's a moot point. The point I was making is that
she's ranting here about something that doesn't even pertain to most of us. You can't come to a MT message board railing at MTs without getting a response. That's why it's not called MTSOstars. Also, it's unprofessional of a business owner to let her emotions overrule her common sense. As for the newbies, they'll learn. We were all newbies at one time or another. None of us was born perfect, not even the MTSO.
You missed my point. My point wasn't perks but prestige...nm
nm
The point wasn't that it was copyrighted. The point the poster tried to make
:(
I don't know what supervisory positions consist of. You tell me what a supervisor does so I know
Thanks in advance.
PS: I do mean an at-home supervisor like the ones I deal with.
MY QUESTION TOO...I don't even see that they are offering SE positions in this new plan.
I just got the memo dated Sept 2
I have read it 3 times
I do not see the words STATUTORY EMPLOYEE anywhere
I am assuming they are doing away with that position???????
Anybody know?
and if so why am I scurring around trying to buy a computer to
accommodate their new platform as an SE when they are only hiring
EMPLOYEES.........who they provide computers to
they supposedly have open positions - and have them for quite a few years - sm
In fact, now they are offering relocation. However, as one who has 18 years experience, with an EXTENSIVE AND EXTREMELY impressive background, I was told that "I did not have enough experience." I was told that I live too far away and that unless I live there I could not be considered. So I happened to be in Arizona, about 4 miles from them, told them I was relocating, and they still told me I did not have enough experience.
By the way, my experience ranges from working for at least 4 of the top 10 hospitals in the US, all kinds of surgical procedures that one very rarely transcribes, transcribing of rare diseases, transcribing for physicians who do clinical trials for European drugs - so I do have quite an extensive background. Apparently just not enough for them.
Over the years, I have known quite a few people to apply for the positions, and all of them have received the same responses - "not enough experience."
some QA editor/auditor positions at higher pay may (sm)
require the CMT credential. And I agree with the previous responder; there are companies who offer higher line rates to CMTs.
those are ads for recruiting - not traveling transcription positions
Kforce put the ads out to attract travelers. I worked for Kforce for 2 years. It was up and down with the work. My health insurance would get cancelled 10 days after an assignment ended, unless Kforce had another assigment to go to immediately. There were times I did not have for up to 3 months. There is always good and bad with a job. Unfortunately, I needed something steady and with insurance, so this wasn't for me.
nuther question about interviewing - this one about MT positions (sm)
I have been working at home for the past 13 years. Went from working in the hospital (next to the morgue in the basement - isn't that where all the Med. Rec. departments are?) to an at-home position with the same hospital to an at-home position with a national company. The dress code of the MTs still in the hospital is very lax (to the point where flip-flops are allowed and no stockings!). When I interviewed 25 years ago I wore a suit, stockings, etc. Once I had the job I relaxed to pants, stockings, and casual shirt/sweater but never flip-flops. What are you all wearing on job interviews these days? I'd be inclined (possibly) to wear a pant suit rather than skirt or dress only because that's not who I am - I'm a casual pants and shirt type of person but would put on the pants suit for the interview. However, since I've been out of the loop for so long, are dresses and skirts still the norm for job interviews?
I have held all the positions I mentioned without having an RHIT.
She was asking for ideas. I gave her some.
Maybe it was tough for you but it doesn't have to be for her. :)
That's not my point. My point is previous owner hired
nm
Got that right! If I'm not happy within 3 days, I quit! Too many easier positions out there. nm
s
In MT ads on the net, more and more I see ads for combo positions - MT/front desk, MT/secretary, etc
b
not my point, actually. My point was the bigotry is the same.
The bigotry's always there. Not all "Mexicans" are Mexican, nor are they all illegal. My point is, though, people used to make remarks about cabbage smell about the Irish just like comments are made now about how nasty Mexicans are.
Every time somebody says something about "those people," something bigoted is coming out. That's all I'm saying.
Should just post all their open positions in one post and only be allowed to post one of those a day
nm
A point well taken. However.....sm
...on the other hand the June Cleavers of the past had no alternatives. The liberation of women over the past half-century has given us the strength and self-reliance to walk away from an abusive or dead relationship or marriage.
I see your point quite clearly.
The FBI has consultants over there. There have been search teams from day 1 and also a search team from Texas. These people have cooperated with US government. They are also conducting an investigation of one of their citizens who more than likely has rights not to be interogated by a foreign government. You seem to think these people are illiterate and stupid. You have preconceived notions from the media and Mrs. Twitty that the Arubans are protesting, which is this country is like a third-world country run by idiots and keystone cops.  So open your mind and think things thru. Our government has messed up so many things in its own right (sex offfenders lost in the system or set free for example) why would you think they could get this right?
The point is?
"Can you believe there is trainee from India, living here in the U.S., who has been training on my primary account for the past TWO months at least....the problem is all she wants to do are the good American dictators and she is ALLOWED to skip, pass over, cherry pick past her own countrymen's bad dictations."
You have a high up source in your company who told you this? Why? And this issue has not been discussed with those in charge? Why?
What platform is this Indian in America working on that she can cherry pick past her "countrymen's bad dictations"
The only reason I question this is because it would be very ethical for this high up source to be telling you this and if you get mad enough you could blow the whistle. But since I have no dim-witted unethical high sources in my company who will actually tell me there is an Indian MT who is living in America and for two months has been "allowed" to cherry pick I couldn't fathom how you could possibly have this info.
So you knowing this is probably not good for your blood pressure or your high souce informant's job security. What's the point in you having this info?
another point sm
we have failed to mention that working at home can be VERY isolating. Sometimes I go for days and the only other adult I talk to is my husband. If you're on your own, you need to make sure that you stay in touch with friends and family, or else you can become very isolated before you know it! There's a lot to think about when it comes to working at home, these are just a few of the issues being discussed here! 
I see your point.
I'm not afraid of my kids, and I am their parent, not friend. I just don't want to completely isolate them from the world. I don't think controlling behavior is healthy because it can backfire and cause rebellion. (Personal experience.) There comes a point when you have to turn your kids loose in the world and hope that all of your parenting sticks with them. Meanwhile, I was just wondering if there were any nice kids left in the world, or if I'm just overly anal or judgmental.
I let these kids on my property, but I'll admit that I'm tired of having to watch them so closely. I correct their bad language, call them on their lies, check pockets before they leave, or hide things so nothing gets stolen. My kids aren't the Hitlers, but I don't see why I have to be so diligent with other peoples' kids. And no, my kids and I are not perfect. I just don't know where to find "nice" friends.
your point
I'm not. Only 3 more days to go....
exactly the point
It they want to honestly get a picture of the procedure increase/decrease since the induction of DEP/ASR they need to look at an ENTIRE QUARTER BEFORE these were institued and then compare it to the most recent completed quarter(or any quarter since that time). I come up at a 10% deficit, not at the 50% increase as they say. Yes, they are taking only one week and comparing the MT week from that week with the ME work from that week to decide that ASR has increased us which is bogus! Don't just believe me, prove it for yourself and call the help desk phone number on your letter.
Well you do have a point about that..
but I think another requirement at the Wal-mart here is that you have to hate life and everything about it. I swear it seems like it would kill these people to smile. When they hand my kids the sticker I wanna hand it back and tell them they apparently need it more than we do.
Come to think of it though...I think that's a requirement for alot of jobs..fast food places..customer service...the DMV. Go figure
and your point is?
You're a college drop-out doing MT?
Yes, I see your point too.
We are going to consult a behavior therapist. Some of it also is that kids are exposed to so much violence and bad habits that my son tends to be a follower. Apparently, a child hit him in the privates and he turned around and did it to someone else. He has never done that before, but guess who gets sent to the principal's office. my child..the "problem child".
So what is your point
Are you saying that they never fill the positions or what? When you make a statement like this, can you please explain what you're talking about?
the point is for her to do it on her own.
research yes. ask others, no.
that's exactly my point
why CAN'T you remember what you named his physical exam? because you have no system. it doesn't matter how much time passes before I get that same doc again. I know what I named his physical exam, his review of systems, whatever.
What's the point
in punching a time clock when there is no work to be done? That is... unless you get paid for that time that you are clocked in? Our time is worth money too. Right? But in this case it is my understanding that you must clock in; however, no work = no pay. What gives?
And my point is this.....
This is very similar to what is going on in the MT world. Hospitals are cutting costs by shipping the work overseas and Americans are losing jobs. Wal-Mart does business the way they are doing and they are taking jobs from Americans by forcing companies to lower their prices and then they can't afford to make those products in the US anymore. The two industries are very similar--am I the only one seeing this????
I have friends who work at Wal-Mart, too, and I also have friends who work at another local grocery store, Kroger. The difference is that the Kroger employees make a LIVING WAGE. That's why I shop there. Sure, I'd like to save money and not pay a little bit higher prices, but I choose to support a store that actually pays the majority of their employees a living wage ($9 or $10 as a bagger, $10-12 as a check-out person vs. minimum wage) and doesn't force companies to rockbottom their prices so low that they have to have their products made outside the country.
Honestly, we can't solve all the world's problems on this forum and I understand that. The problems with outsourcing and what is going on in corporate America are so much deeper than this issue with Wal-Mart. Everybody is free to shop wherever they want, but I just want to try to make my point as to why I choose NOT to.
That was my point, thank you. sm
Nursing, x-ray techs, nuclear medicine and ultrasound techs, respiratory therapists, physician's assistants, paralegals, the list goes on, and not all are even Ph.Ds. Well, anyway, if I were way younger, and the industry was looking then like it looks now, I believe I would be considering my options very closely.
You have a point there
Well, I guess our leaders are either plain stupid for allowing it to go on or have there hands out somewhere along the line.
So, what's your point? - sm
How is it her fault that you are single? I really don't think the point of her post was so that anyone would feel sorry for her situation. Sorry, I just don't quite understand your bitterness.
That's exactly my point. Nothing gets done
because when it comes down to it - they just hire, hire, hire and re-hire until the MTs remain quiet. Well, I for one am not going to be quiet anymore. Here's a sample - "The patient has be on a wheelchair for 3 months." If the doc doesn't know the difference between "be and been" and "in and on" - that's not my problem anymore!! It's insane. Outta here.
Wish me luck - going to fill out an application this afternoon!
