Any contract I've ever signed
has had the line rate in it, sometimes of the client's choosing, sometimes what I want. Companies will not negotiate a line rate as individual doctors do. I don't ever have a set schedule in the contract. It's all about what you agree to sign. If your line rate is in a contract, then unless your contract comes up for renewing every year or two, I doubt there will be any raise given if you do ask.
Well.... if you signed the contract with that statement in there and did not alter
it or draw a red flag to it before you signed, then you agreed to it and it may be legal.
Here is a clue for future - if there is any part of the contract you do not agree with, you change it and initial where you changed it. If the MTSO or company signs it with those changes, everything is fine. If they do not, then you don't work for them.
Yes - I have a contract that my client and/or MTSO signed.
I always have them sign a contract also - mutual agreement and we stick by it. No problems whatsoever so far. That is the only way to practice good business and protect yourself.
Can be an IC for only one account, but I would get a signed contract stipulating exactly what is exp
so that there are no misunderstandings down the road. They should understand this and if it is a problem, I would start looking elsewhere, because they could just be looking for a reason to not work with you, and are just covering their bases while they are looking for someone who is a "team player," who could also do their transcription, and when that happens, you will find yourself out in the cold.
I signed and didn't pay. Just arrowed back.

5 YEAR CONTRACT
And you are stuck for the pay for that five years and it is an air tight contract for them with a lot of deductions for TAT, errrors, etc. It is to their benefit as they got the big wigs to make sure it is for them. You really get the deducted heavy for not adhering to the TAT and they have their QA in additon to yours which were mainly managers not MT's. So it is not the easiest to adhere to especially when you are depending on a lot of people to adhere to their contract. But for some I am sure it works well but for me, forget it.
Contract not renewed. She was told she was not coming back.

Got $$$$ back last year but this year
I have to pay them, sold a property I never lived in but I had enough sense to set aside $45,000 so just waiting on them to send me my WT2s so I can get started.
So you could end up getting more back at the end of the year
if you have your home office deduction, etc.? At least if that happens I can feel like I am making more money doing this! GRR, I hate the IRS!
I did it for a year and have just gotten back
from a 6 week trip, though don't usually travel much now except for weekends and vacation.
I saw them in concert about a year back...
It was at a venue that was tiny, compared to most places anyways. They were on a stage that would spin around. It was so intimate and probably the best concert I have been to. The opening band was awesome too, Lennon. It was mostly just her playing the piano and singing. Awesome, awesome time. And, this is coming from a 26-year-old who loves them! lol
I went back to school this year
In my area both the RN-AD and dental hyg. programs have wait lists, however the dental hyg. wait is like 4 years versus the RN wait being 1-1/2 years. I am just finishing up all my gen eds and I should be off the wait list and into the core program next fall. I am taking extra psych classes to fill my "elective" courses as I was told that hospitals prefer nurses with their BSN to have psych minors, and I'm only in the AD program (associate degree), but I can still list extra psych courses on my resume. I wish you the very best of luck!!!
back in the mid 1980s it was 80K a year.(sm)
I worked with an MT who went and that's what she made.
Not getting back - how much we made gross for the year. nm

Congratuilations! I did a year ago and never looked back!

Happy New Year back at you! Have fun! We'll
be fine, won't we, folks?  Have a good time!
but don't worry - next year BOS will more than likely change it back! nm
.
I have been waiting since I first heard they were coming back last year...
and I'll probably fall asleep before the ending. Happens all the time. 
A study a year or two back was assessing if hormone changes were
Specifically, does LOSS of estrogen cause memory loss in women. Multi-year study, BIG study, lots of subjects.
Upshot? There WAS memory loss happening. It was not due to hormones. Middle-aged women were SO busy and SO stressed and had SO many things on the brain and things to do and places to be and things to remember about spouse, kids, job, parents, extended family, that they were STRESSED TO THE POINT THEY COULD NOT REMEMBER IT ALL! Bah on the hormone theory. We just get full up to our eyeballs of all the things we have to do and something has to give.
Like, spelling the word school or something. No can do, school does not exist in this brain any more, it got kicked out so I can remember to pick up beer on the way home!
Fine. Be sure to post back here in a year and tell me about her at-home job. nm

I'm 46 and I went back to school this year full time for a BSN...sm
I was worried about because, let's face it, my short term memory isn't what it used to be LOL. Plus the program is ONLY full time. They had 1000 applicants and picked the top 70 of us. If you didn't have a 3.5 GPA, you didn't get in. But I am doing really well in school - after I got past the shock of the first 6 weeks - tons of work- and I am at the top of my class. My husband, bless his heart, is doing all the cooking and we are basically kind of ignoring the dirt. My house will be clean again another day. I am finishing up my second semester, have 3 more semesters for a BSN, and then another 2.5 years to get my masters and be an advanced practice nurse. 41 is definitely not too old! You will have to work smart to save your back but it can be done. Also MT is starting a slow slide out...you would be smart to start your second career now while you still have a job... IMHO
good luck!
I had back pain for an entire year. They did a trigger point
injection and it's gone. I couldn't believe it. I wish I'd found it sooner.
Love to know how far back it goes, was a member for about a year in 1998, we could use $$, furnace b
so its cold here! Actually it broke the 15, the night before we left for Disney on a Make-A-Wish trip for my daughter Jenny....(we had a blast)...got back 2 days ago, it broke again that night (21st). DH got it running again, but the heater guy disassembled it last night and has not returned yet to put it back together and fix it. Luckily we have a propane fireplace or we'd be in big trouble, still chilly though especially since it goes down to 25 at night, brrrr!---so any $$$ if we are included or entitled would be wonderful...but I doubt we will get so lucky since it was so long ago that I was a "member" of AOL. Guess I will just have to work even more to pay for the repair, fun.
Yes, I lost 42 pounds on LA Weight Loss, but gained back 50 a little more than a year later . .
I was on the program for approximately four months and lost 40 pounds. The weight did come off really fast. At the time I was a member, there was a rebate if you kept the weight off for one year. It sounded good, but you had to buy the supplements for the entire year, which by the end of the year added up to a few thousand dollars.
In any case, after I finally lost the weight, I got pregnant with my fourth child. I am now trying to lose the 50 pounds that I gained while pregnant, but my metabolism seems so much slower now. The weight isn't coming off nearly as fast as before. :(
My 8-year-old threw up on the way home from family celebration Christmas Eve, all over the back seat
Then threw up approximately every hour from 10:00 p.m. until 8:00 a.m. Christmas morning. Not the Christmas I had planned, up cleaning bodily fluids all night. Somehow Santa managed to come overnight, too. My husband, me and the 2-year-old didn't get the bug until last night, it's vicious! Hopefully that's all over now and we can enjoy the rest of our vacation!
Google contract samples, basic contract examples, etc.

I love Paula!!!! nm
hey, do you like Paula Dean?
I LOVE HER!!! She makes everything look SOooo delish! And, of course, the more fattening the better. I've tried quite a few of her recipes and never been disappointed. I would love to visit her restaurant one day.
Paula Deen
I love watching her shows. Recently, she made a red velvet cake that I cannot wait to try (although it will probably be Christmas before I get around to it). My mom used to make red velvet cakes a lot when I was a child because my dad loved them. She would usually make them in December, either for Christmas or my dad's birthday, which was also in December. However, I've never seen anything like Paula Deen's version. She put pecans, marshmellows and cocconut in the icing--it was absouletely beautiful! P.S. I checked out that link....thanks!
Great site, Paula!
Thank you for sharing!
As Paula would say, Taylor is infectious!!
nm
Yup, and Paula is no longer clapping like
Thankfully on both!
I think Kevin is truly in denial! Paula has said too much!

Me too and I got it wrong, Paula Deen. nm

I have to know....how whas Paula Deen's
I agree, paula looks drugged out 24/7...sm
she admits she is on *pain medications due to back problems* but it's ridiculous while she is on American Idol...she becomes sloppy, falls all over either Simon or Randy and then gushes over ALL the contestants.....I *heard* that when her contract is over, they are thinking of asking Cher to take Paula's place, and that would be so refreshing.
Personally, I am more sick of Paula Abdul on this show than Simon Cowell. 
Paula's behavior gets stranger . . .
every week. I think she has serious problems. She can hardly get out a coherent sentence anymore.
Recipe by Paula Dean. LQQK
 1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon House Seasoning (garlic powder, black pepper, and salt mix)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
1 cup grated Cheddar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup crushed crackers (recommended: Ritz)
1 teaspoon seasoned salt (recommended: Lawry's)
2 slices white bread
Sauce, recipe follows
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix all ingredients together, except the bread slices and Sauce. Shape into a loaf. Line a 1 1/2-quart loaf pan with the bread slices. Place meatloaf on top. Bake loaf for 45 minutes. The bread absorbs the grease and should be discarded after loaf is removed from oven.
Sauce:
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups grated Cheddar
Chopped onions, optional
1 bunch fresh parsley leaves, chopped, optional
Heat the soup and milk over medium heat; add the cheese. Add the chopped onions and parsley to the sauce, if desired. Pour Sauce over the meatloaf or pass at the table.
RE: I think they should send Paula home - she is so annoying........

Idol chat board agrees - Paula was
wacked last night.
Paula Deen is fabulous! I love her recipes and
the way she ooohs and ahhhs when she takes a bite of one of her dishes. Makes you just wish YOU were the one taking that bite! See the HomeTalkCafe cooking forum for some fun. http://www.hometalkcafe.com or click the link below.
I am trying Paula's banana/ham casserole tonight. Will let ya'll know how it turns out...nm

Contract/no contract -- same rights
You do not have to have a written contract to take them to court. All you have to do is to prove you have been providing work to him, past statements/invoice will do that, you just fill out the small claims forms and go to court. But first of all I would personally go in and talk with someone about it. Could be the office manager/bookkeeper and not the doctor that is not paying you. He may not know anything about it. And please do not make the "joke" as above mentioned, that is very LOW class, tacky and not professional at all. Especially if you are in a small area -- you need to conduct like a professional. But call and make an "appointment" to talk with the doctor either in person or through a phone call. Some doctors do not know what is going on in their office and perhaps the office manager wants to be paid first. If the doctor does know, then in person or over the telephone inform him that you have no other choice but to pursue the debt just as they would if someone did not pay their bill and if that involves going to small claims court, then that is the route you must take. Good luck. I did take one to court without a contract and won.
I love almost all of Paula's recipes, but the scrambled eggs & oyster porch

Hey! I signed the above MQ QA
NOT not a cruise fan!! What is up with that???
I just signed up with the gym. You get one
free visit with the PT and then they try and get you to pay $50 a month extra to sign up with a PT. Hahahahahahah! Not happening. My little toe feels great but the rest of my body is screaming at me. Trying to work but that's not going well today.
I signed up with...sm
Best Friends. I wonder if anyone who has offered to foster pets from Katrina have been contacted yet. I haven't heard anything from them about being a foster parent. I live near Atlanta and I heard that several pets were sent to Atlanta's Humane Society, but haven't heard of anyone having a pet placed with them.
Maybe I'll try the LA SPCA posted here. Post if you or someone you know has had a pet from LA placed with them.
I thought I should say that I don't think there's anything funny going on, I just wonder what they're doing with all those pets.
Thanks!
I signed it but....
.....I don't like their tactics. When you click on "sign petition", it takes you to the donate page. Of course, you don't have to donate, but at first I, too, like some of the people further down in the threat, thought there was no other option besides donating. But then when I clicked on the "Signatures" tab, I saw my name was there.
There are a lot of gullible and unwary people out there - and the way they have that website set up, it is designed to prey on them. I signed this petition because I feel it is important, but I will not be signing any other petitions on that site.
Has anyone signed up for 6.99
a month with TranscriptionNet? Is it worth it, any good jobs to be found? Thanks
Hmm, I have a paper here that I signed that says
they will deduct FICA taxes, pay the employer part of FICA equaling 7.65%, and federal income taxes. It says I will receive a W-2, not a 1099.
FICA is the SS tax. So, if they are holding out federal taxes, FICA, employer part of FICA, then all that is left is state tax...??
