It is a medium-small company...

In Reply to: CPL OF 11 OR MORE - Elssa
but isn't hiring at this time. MTs tend to stay as they are treated with respect as well as paid well. The pay is based on a 65-character line with spaces, an 11-word line or gross line, depending on the account.

LOL!! Yes they are sizes like small, medium and large - sm
I have a B (medium) and it is very comfortable. I got it when I was 130 pounds and now I'm much larger at 190 and it is still as comfortable. I believe the A was a lot smaller and the C was just huge - felt like I could get lost in it.
I'm an employee at a medium-size MT company...
...I work at home yet I've had to buy my own equipment (computers, references, supplies), and now they want me to start making long-distance phone calls (to clients, the office) and state they will not reimburse me for those any long distance calls I make.
I'm not an IC, I'm an employee. This can't be right can it? 
small company
You just keep your eyes open all the time. Keep looking. You will find them. Opportunity comes knocking at the strangest time if you just keep looking.
small company would not pay.

Oh no... This is a small local company. nm

Small company in Ohio did that to me.
Had Indians working on something called Expresive. Wanted to pay me by the hour to put all my normals up on her FTP for the other MTs, then I got all the difficult OPs, asked to QA for 2 cpl, then stopped giving me acute care work & switched me to Rehab on a cumbersome Meditech program.
I'll bet it was the same small company that
nearly did me in as well. Do they come at you for compound modifiers? Yikes! I felt the same way - just could not do anything right, decades of experience. I finally got thru the constant QA barrage, and now am glad I did. But I know the feeling. I left the job down the road, part time and just too many rules so that it messed up my other jobs!! I would get its the same small company - they have very high QA standards, which is great on one hand, but...I also knew that some of it was a tad ridiculous! I would be sick while working, and that is NOT good!
No, I work for a small company in AR
Do you work for a national and, if so, do you like it?
Just a very small private company. nm

I'm with a small local company....sm
so that doesn't help you, but I have heard good things about WildBlue, you might want to check out their website.
They're a small company in Texas. Would that be the one? nm

I make more than that as an employee for a small company ---
Maybe it is time to change to that?
look for a small local company in your area
I worked for a small company and although I did get paid by the line, I made way more than $16 an hour and could pretty much name my own hours to work. I did, however, have to pick up tapes!
I work for a small local company.
It seems that the smaller MTSOs pay better than the nationals. Maybe that would be a good avenue for you to try. I just think the low rates offered by the nationals are insulting.
Yes, small company wanted to charge me
$50. a month for 5 or 6 months to cover cost of software licensing fees. I would have taken the job if not for that major glitch.
Yes - I work for a small company in Iowa and

I've know the owner and it is a small company. He doesn't know the first
thing about MT, word processing programs, etc. I have worked for the company through 3 owners and now I do prn work for him.
How do you do 2000 a day? Do you work for a national or small company? nm

Unlimited Long Distance + C-phone, small company needs MT
I currently need an experienced MT (at least three years - actual medical typing) to cover a 2 doctor account. Very simple dictation - SOAP note format. This account is looking for another doctor, so that could add in. Currently, very small amount of dictation - approximately 800-1300 lines total per week. 24 hour turn around.
If you have a c-phone and have unlimited long distance, please send me your resume + 2 references for people you have actually typed for. Start rate 8cpl (65 character). This is an IC position.
I am the owner of a small transcription company in Virginia - have had stable accounts and great MT's for over 13 years. THANK YOU!!!
My first job was a total cold call to small local company...got hired over the phone- sm
give it a shot. Look in your yellow pages or on-line white and yellow pages and see what you can come up with. MT Daily has a list by state of MT companies to with their contact info. Also test your butt off anywhere and everywhere on line, you will learn a lot during the process. I found it quite enlightening when I was doing it 3+ years ago. Good luck.
Right now, medium, but
Normally I have long nails, but broke a couple so I trimmed them down. I type with the nail tips, not my fingers, when I have long ones :-)
Medium
Just love Medium. Good to see a real woman, strong and intelligent, with normal kids and a husband who really loves her.
ever heard of a happy medium?
It's the difference between too much control and none. Most of the kids these days have too little - they are obnoxious. The time to "turn your kids loose ON the world" is when they are no longer kids from a parental obligation point of view.
Brats rarely, if ever, turn into *nice* kids - they become adults who have little concern for the rights of others.
You apparently don't mind trying to correct the mistakes other people have made with their kids. That's your prerogative. It just won't work. Most kids are great - don't know why yours are attracted to jerks, but maybe you need to find out.
I have a couple accounts through a medium-
sized company, but I also have my own private accounts. Cutting out the "middle man" means much more per line. Also, it means I am never out of work. I tried juggling working for 2 companies, and it was a never-ending struggle. They either both gave me too much at the same time, or both would run out of work. Having some 1-doctor accounts of my own (with a much more lenient TAT) has worked very well. When my company accounts run out, I do my private account work.
You're right in that we are only limited by ourselves. Sometimes I tend to push myself to the max and then some. Once in a while I just don't want to do ANY transcription at all for a day or so, but I truly love working on production. Work more...make more! 
Medium to long length acrylics.
I type a little better without them, but not enough to make me want to get rid of them!
I meant 2 medium garlic divided into the cloves...was half asleep LOL

A small national is a national company that is smaller
than a big national. There are a few "big" nationals, where they have hundreds, if not thousands of employees. I work for what I call a small national, only has about 30 employees. An MTSO could also be considered a small national.
small mentality usually means small pocketbook
Still make more than you and I but that is deserved. They've put the effort forward and educated themselves.
What Company is This? I have been hired by a company that is sending a foot pedal.. Don't want t
.
The company cutting cpl, the company stopping paying for headers
:{
Good of the company? As IC, I am my own company. Not my problem if she has problems as long as I do
:P
Accepted a job with a new company, gave two weeks notice to my old company..
Old company, let me go before two weeks was up. New company, said they were having trouble getting me set up and my equipment ready, but they would pay me while I waited. It's been a month, still no check from new company even though I was told it was "in the mail." I have no income and am at a loss.
I have a signed offer letter from the new company, contracts, etc. I applied for unemployment, but old company is saying I quit and technically I am currently employed with the new company! New company is not returning calls or answering email.
What should I do!?!?!?!
I started sending my resume out today, but the process of getting a new job will take at least two weeks and I need money now to catch up on what I'm behind!
You don't want to work for this company. Call your current company and
tell them that you have decided against the new position and tell them that you would like to stay. It is cheaper for them to let you stay than to train someone new. A company who could be so tacky as the one you just spoke of is one you do not want to work for. You can rescind your resignation. If you are a good MT, they will be glad you did.
With my company, ICs use their own emails, employees have company email.

COMPANY INQUIRIES belong on Company board, please!

....3 months later my old company rehired me; can you return to your 1st company?

Local radiology company, not transcription company
who has only 5 transcriptionists and are not hiring at this moment. We all work at home and get great benefits, no insurance out of pocket and 22 days paid vacation in the first year, after that it goes up. I feel very fortunate to have found them, but again I chose them because they did not do production, so now that they are, I'm a little disappointed.
If one's biz is small I do not think you can....nm
Yes, you should get a small
social worker, psychologist, or whatever. You just have to wade in and start swimming. If you find the right account, that should help you start out.
Huge, I think it's small on my end (NM)

$18,000+, small national. nm
Any small MTSO need PT help? sm
Okay, I have tried the big nationals and that did not work out for me. I would like something for a few hours a day - would love to do family practice SOAP notes again or something where I can just type away and make some decent money. I promise a fast turn-a-round and I am willing to work hard, but no complicated platforms and no set hours.
Why not sue in small claims (sm)
You have a business contract with them. It's not a paycheck we are talking about. It's payment for services rendered. Are they going to send someone to your state to defend it? Probably not!
It's actually one of those small bldg. you
added to the house but it's on the same property as the house...I can't really describe what it looks like. I have only seen it a couple of times. Not sure if that would work. It doesn't have to be that. Just whatever would work. I am more interested in seeing what has worked for others. Just wondering. Thanks for your response.:)
my office is a small
table between the kitchen and the dining room. Books are in a closet right next to it. It helps so I can keep an eye on what my toddler is doing.
how did you get your print to be so small?
if you are for real, your best advice is read this board and take good notes.
Yes, small services (sm)
used to pay 11 cpl IC, have now sold out to squids who in turn pay 7-8 cpl.
And services left average 8 cpl, if you're really experienced you'll get 10 or 11 and get such bad dictation you'll get a headache you'll never forget. 
Small accounts
What kind of small accounts are you talking about? How do you find them? Thanks.
I know a couple of people who key as fast as you do, so it is possible.
A very very small family.

I had a small MTSO ask that once. sm
As I was heading toward the exit door, she asked me to send her every single one of the normals I used.
So, I sent her the exact ones she had sent me in the beginning, before I refined them to a fine tune, which had taken me hours and hours to do. I'm telling you, I had most tests for every doctor where I could just hop around and fill in the blanks. No way was I giving those hours of work away!
Thanks! The 16" look so small and the 20" so large! nm
