In future, require a deposit sm

equal to the cost to replace the equipment and put in a contract that the deposit will be returned within 2 weeks of receiving equipment in good condition. Anyone who truly intends on returning the equipment will have no problem paying a deposit, especially when the terms are in writing.

Depends on the company. Some companies require it; others do not. Some don't require it
if you promise that you will seek your certification at some point in the future. Other companies could care less if you are certified at all at any time.
what they require
Summary of requirements: Work environment must include separate room in the house with a door that closes. Workstation must be free of any noise/music/TV or other distractions while working. PC password protected including locking screensaver. No one else in the room while working unless they also work for this company, etc. Dunno, maybe working for a hosp at home has more strict requirements than some of you.
All the require it, though ..sm
even though DOL states you must be paid for all mandatory work performed. If you were to volunteer to do it, that's a different story, but we are REQUIRED to do all this BS clerica/bookkeeping for the hospitals, demographics, notes on discrepancies, CCs, look up names, bombarded with e-mails, phone calls, reviewing account specs every time an account is changed, told to do "exhaustive search" if name cannot be found (easy for THEM to say, isn't it?).
I could go on and on and on. VERY PROFITABLE for the MTSOs, who use it either as a selling point to keep the account or are actually being paid for it.
Which companies require ULD???
I'm looking for a job right now and obviously can't afford this headache (or added cost!) Can you give us names of MTSOs who you know "require" LD???
TIA!! 
Sorry, not require but WILL HIRE
I'm sorry. I meant hospitals that will hire remote MTs, not require! :o)
Why do you require 50% of the money
I am not so sure that will go over well. What are they paying you for if they have not given you work yet? Big turn off in my opinion.
How about offering a free trial?
MQ direct deposit
On Friday if payday on Saturday. On Monday if pay day Sunday. .
MQ direct deposit
As a rule, when the pay date is on Sunday I usually have my deposit in the account on Saturday a.m. The last pay date I think fell on a Saturday and that was deposited on Friday a.m.
They don't do direct deposit for IC's.
Nobody at SS answered my e-mails.
Direct Deposit
Independent contractors cannot receive direct deposit typically as a standard course of events, I am told, because that would be treating them like an employee, and not appropriate for the IRS and accounting purposes.
Direct deposit
I would love direct deposit! I have worked for many services as an IC and most offer it but currently do not have it. I miss it so much!
no direct deposit either...this is what I do...
I'm an IC for 2 companies that don't provide direct deposit and I just found that waiting on snail mail to bring my check was too undependable. I now have my checks sent overnight. Sure I have to pay for the charge of it but it is worth knowing when my money will be here. Most companies will do this if you ask them to and they just deduct it from your pay. I don't know your situation but I am able to use this expense on my taxes each year, so I definite feel that it is worth it.
Direct deposit - do you have it?
At my present job, I do not have direct deposit. I really miss it. It's frustrating me. A small thing, yet irritating!
Do you have DD?
Direct Deposit
I also have direct deposit. I get paid every other Thursday, and by Thursday morning my check is in my account. That's just my experience. Maybe you should call the company and see if there's a problem. Has it ever been late before?
If you get direct deposit set up
(if your company offers it), then you won't have to wait for snail mail. But no company is going to predict what day your check is going to hit your mailbox. Pay day is the day checks are cut and sent out.
No direct deposit, huh?

direct deposit??
I have never done this kind of work before and signed up to work with a lady from qmedet solutions. She wants my bank account number to direct deposit my check. I am leary of doing this because she didn't check references or want to see a resume. We emailed back and forth, she called me to explain the job and then requested my personal information. Is this the way everyone works?
direct deposit??
I have never done this before and wanted to know if this sounds legit. I placed my job information on a site for MTs. I received an email from a lady who works for qmedet solutions saying that she wanted to hire me. We emailed back and forth about whether I was interested and then she called me to discuss the job. She then emailed me forms to fill out my personal information including my bank account number for direct deposit. I just want to make sure that this is normal because she didn't get any personal references from me nor did she request any kind of resume.
Do most companies require you to keep a handwritten log?

Do most companies require you to keep a handwritten log?
No.
If they want to do many things that require money
then they should work. If they are happy doing without many things, then no. It sounds like that friend of your daughter has FOUR very irresponsible parents. Not her fault. Another product of divorce it sounds like. I have read that many parents of divorced kids spoil them rotten out of guilt because they broke up the family. Sounds like you got it together, though! ;)

No---all companies require you to test - sm
one way or another. Some will hire w/o a test based on your resume and experience, and will know rather quickly if can do the job or not. I have gotten 2 jobs that way, one as an employee and another as an IC, however this was after I had a minimum of 3 years experience for this ever happened to me--at 6 years now. I am still with the IC one (since 06/2007), had a falling out with the other one but did work for them for about 9 months and they were happy with me; left as I was unable to continue working a firm schedule due to change in circumstances and they needed someone to work a set schedule, so we parted ways. But as a newbie no one will hire you w/o a test. So just keep plugging away and test a lot, they are a very good way to learn what to expect.
Most state they 'PREFER' a CMT, not REQUIRE.
I think the reason that's put on most job ads is that considering what they're paying, they're going to get a lot of applications from newbies. The companies THINK the CMT guarantees a good employee, though this isn't true, either. If you're an MT professional that's been around a long time and can do the work, you are still, without those three meaningless letters, more of an asset to any MT dept. or company than at MT of lesser experience WITH a CMT.
Another take on that: Often those of us without CMTs have been around longer than that dubious organization has, and we know what MT is REALLY worth, because we used to be around back when it was a respected position. Lots (though not all, I realize) CMTs are younger, have been in the biz a shorter time, and have been told while they were in school (and possibly a school associated with AAMT/ADHI) that a CMT was 'necessary'.
Nowadays even the best national companies out there pay 'rinky-dink' wages, which has nothing to do with whether or not an MT has one of those useless 'credentials' after their name, and everything to do with greed, and competition from cut-rate transcription companies in other countries.
Most companies these days require even
FT employees to work at least part of the weekend. I tend to work almost every Saturday, 3 to 4 hours. I am a FT employee working a 40-hour week and just take off early a couple of days during the week.
do the Bose QC2 require batteries?
If so, how often do you find you need to replace them - and/or do you think there is any health hazard to having batteries up next to your head? thanks.
And does your state require an exam like that?
You know it doesnt and neither does any other state for driving nor for working. This person sounds like not only under stress but more going on and perhaps she should see a doctor.
The industry does not require QUALITY because
there is no reimbursement to the hospital or the physician for the actual transcribed report. The insurance companies are requesting written documentation but do not pay anything for it. This is why the hospitals are willing to settle for the cheapest rates.
MQ direct deposit on Friday, is NOT
correct! Is paid on the 10th and 25th, if those dys fall on a Sat/Sun, then your check does not go in until the following Monday...how it is & how it's always been.
As other's advised, check the 2005 payroll schedule, maybe print it out for your referrences?

About offering direct deposit.
Klaar is getting ready to offer direct deposit (again). Oh boy, gotta wonder if they formerly offered it, then canceled it, and are ready to offer it again (soon).
Did you know that not everyone can get direct deposit for their businesses? sm
There are a lot of factors, and banks will not take on a small company. They want to provide services for bigger companies that have a lot of money going through their accounts.
I deal with one of the biggest banks in the country and they will not let me do direct deposit until we deposit over $100,000 per month or it is not worth it for them.
The smaller banks in my area do not even offer it.
All I can do is get checks out on time and correctly.
EVERY MTSO CAN get direct deposit
There are many payroll management companies that offer this service for a small fee. Do a Google search for ADP, Paychex, Gorrie Reagan.....THere are several.
Even if you cannot get it done via your bank, there are many other ways it can be done. Having to wait on a paycheck to come in the mail is very difficult for most of us. I also spend $50 a month to have my check overnighted. I am currently looking to move to a company who DOES offer direct deposit.
Used to be by check, now direct deposit.

Love my direct deposit. nm

I wouldn't know what to do without direct deposit...
The money is always there when it's supposed to be and if you want to go on vacation or something you don't have to worry about getting your paycheck and going to the bank. I have never had a problem with DD and I have been using it for 12+ years.
Love direct deposit, too! sm
I've had it for the last 10 years, everywhere I have worked. Never a problem. I'm more leery of getting checks in the mail now, since some of my mail comes opened, like my check stub today. I do most of my banking and bill paying online now. I feel safer with that than the mail anymore. Hubby used to have direct deposit at his old job but not at this job. With direct deposit, it's usually posted when I get up in the morning. I have to wait to go to the bank when he gets home from work around 4:30. What a pain.
Question about direct deposit
I have direct deposit with my company. We get paid the 15th and 30th. Today is the 21st and I still don't have a deposit. I thought the money goes in quicker with direct deposit. Before I complain, just wondered if this was normal.
For anyone who has ever done direct deposit, why does it sometimes come right away in the morning an
odd but I have never done DD so dont really understand how it is routed through the fed and the bank.
Nope. I had direct deposit and
It was in the bank 2-3 days before actual payday. I worked for them almost a year. BTW, Nuance (American company) bought them out over a year ago.
What does Indymac have to do with your MT direct deposit? sm
Sounds more like they want to hold on to their money a few extra days.
In my state, you can attempt to deposit the
try that, so if it bounces 3 x, she have 3 bounced check fees to pay, rather than 1. HAHAHA
Amphion does not require weekend work. sm
Set your own schedule. No holidays or weekends required. Good pay, good people, good accounts.
Does MDI-MD still require the mt to have unlimited Long Distance? nm
Thanks
Maybe my hospital is unique, but they require their MTs to be fairly
x
Dumb question about companies that require
you to live in a certain state but want you to work at home. I don't understand. What if you had unlimited long distance? Are there other reasons?
There are companies out there who do not require weekend work...sm
I have two right now that don't, but I can if I want to which means more work for me on Monday. So, sometimes I work and sometimes I don't. It is nice. I'm an IC.
Hospitals that require remote transcriptionists
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to find hospitals that hire remote transcriptionists. I've been googling all morning, and I'm not having any luck. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it!
HIPAA laws require that all pre-existing..sm...
conditions be covered as long as there is NO break in coverage.
Most MT co's REQUIRE 98% accuracy in order to stay - sm
employed. I've had to do 98% accurate work for years - it's no big deal. There's not an MT alive who is always 100% accurate. There ain't no such animal. But what I'm talking about is QA's that take a report that IS 100% accurate, and 'create' an inaccurate report out of it. I don't know if they're just bored, or spiteful, or if they have a minimum work quota like all the rest of us do, but jacking up a perfectly good report and sending it back with 'errors', (and no initials, so you can't call your co. and COMPLAIN about them), is a royal pain. I think they get paid more money, the more reports they mark up, and as is so often the case, in that field too, it's 'quantity over quality'. The Almighty Dollar, again.
