ICs don't know their rights and what the rules are.
I wish MTs did not get rooked into agreeing to keeping set hours. If MTSOs want to dictate when we work, then they should pay our taxes and provide benefits.
See exactly what the IRS says about it:

you are absolutely right and I know because I know
which is just as good as knowing any other way.
a policy of kindness is the only *way* to go....
Absolutely not, just a FYI. nm

Stay at the Polynesian - it's right on the Disney Property and it is OH SO LUXURIOUS! Very reasonably priced, too for what you get. They have a great luau (sp?), and you can walk out your hotel room and hop on the tram straight into the park.
Speaking of parks, you MUST to go Epcot and bring lotsa de casha for the country of Germany - they have colored crystal that will knock your socks off and your pocketbook clear out of your purse.
IT IS TO DIE FOR! THE POLYNESIAN AND EPCOT!

...the immature vitriolic attitude some people on this board have. If it bothers you so much to see what may seem to you a no-brainer question posted, please feel free to move on, sparing us your crappy, holier-than-thou attitude. I'm absolutely ashamed to have people like you part of my MT community.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
MQ has hurt too many people and their families. I don't even work for them, but the hospital that I work for bought their DQS program, which is wonderful, but it also included the DocQmanage program which CHEATS TRANSCRIPTIONISTS!

How do you know DocuManage cheats MTs?
Absolutely no!

I agree with you! However, I do not consider people taking necessities to survive "looters." HUGE difference with someone taking shoes, jewelry, TVs, and nonessential items. These are 2 different classes totally. People trying to survive should not even be compared to a looter. I was all for shooting any and all looters that were caught in the act!

I wouldn't encourage my worst enemy to get into this field!
Absolutely not!
NO WAY - YUCK!

MQLOVER would get upset. Yeah you sure did dig yourself into a big one. Just keep on going and may be you can find some more people to hire in China when you get there.

I've been working a 13-hour per day schedule recently (getting ready for changes coming up). While I do slow down by the end of the day, I'm still holding quite steady and a decent line count. I've been accomplishing anywhere from 3016 (my low so far on the 13-hr schedule) to 3653 (my high so far on this schedule). TOUGH? YES! Possible??? Absolutely.
Absolutely! Go for it!

No, they absolutely do not.

Certainly the length of time it would take to complete the transcript would be dependent on a lot of things, but I personally would not bid less than $40 per audio hour, and due to the availability requirement of -- "I need for you to indicate your days and hours of availability. These
days and hours should NOT be flexible. These should be the days and
times that you are ALWAYS available to work. You will be receiving jobs
during these days and hours without advance notice and you are expected
to do them, no excuses."
I would not even do it for the $40 mentioned above.
no you are absolutely not alone!!! nm

Absolutely not. They will appreciate it more
and will take better care of it if they have to work for it. We obtained a loan for our son to have his car and then he had to pay us back monthly, as well as keep up his insurance payments, car repairs, etc. However, I do know that A LOT of parents feel it is a requirement for them to buy their children cars. I personally think that is asking for trouble in the long run. Nothing in this life is free and kids need to know that, especially since they're getting ready to enter the real world.
Absolutely.
I've been doing this for 20 years...don't want to do anything else.
Absolutely NOT. I take
every single job that comes to me...good, bad...long, short...do my best and go on to the next job.
That has absolutely zero to do with this. She could have SM
been an atheist, devil worshipper, a Buddhist, and what she did would still have changed the world.
ABSOLUTELY!
I have hired numerous MTEC graduates, and have not had a problem with any of them. They are excellent MTs. The program is worth every penny. 3 of the girls I hired five years ago are now making over 25/hour on production.
Absolutely yes!
The question really should be, if Michelle were healthy enough to skate at nationals, would she have been on the team. With all else being equal, she would have been in the top 3 and therefore would have gone anyway.
Absolutely!
I read anything and everything I can get my hands on pertaining to this profession.

I have worked for over 25 years for a major medical institution as an MT, and it all goes away in two weeks. First came outsourcing to India (clinic AND academic), and now comes the EMR. There is very little for me to do these days, except try to edit what little academic comes through from India. I have come to the sad conclusion that quality doesn't matter when it can be done so much cheaper overseas, broken English isn't that big a deal when it all gets dumpted into an EMR anyway, and that now, at the age of 49, I have to find something else I can do to get by until retirement, since I honestly believe outsourcing is here to stay. Physicians with whom I've had a wonderful working relationship through the years have practically ignored me the last few months. One doctor half-heartedly offered me something for two days a week, but it was too little, too late, and too sad for me to accept. I would never, ever promote this field to anybody, since when I see an entire medical center outsource and go totally EMR, there just is no demand for what I do any more.
Absolutely not
MT is a dead-end, no respect, joe-job with no room for advancement, best suited to people with limited social skills and low expectations for themselves. Anyone who wants to better themselves instead of stagnate in limbo should move on. I have.
Not from PA, NJ.... but absolutely looking
for a different company. Let me know if you still want me to drop you an e-mail. Thanks for your reply.

I work for a national as an IC doing acute care from home. My schedule is flexible, I have direct deposit, and I get great feedback from QA and my supervisor. I am not "hounded" by anyone. I am left to do my work in peace, which is the way I work best. Wouldn't have it any other way!
Absolutely.
Hey Absolute~
You have my DREAM job!!! :)
Absolutely!
 Can't wait for sunrise services !
You are absolutely right. I think
because this is an anonymous board people think they can be rude to one another. Would those same people make the same comments to their friends faces if asked the same questions? I don't think so.
You are absolutely right!
It's all about the Lord and resurrection day! My only daughter will be out of pocket so it'll be pretty quiet here! 
Absolutely not. I do the same for my
when he was living at home.
You are right on for doing it!
Absolutely NEVER!

Absolutely!! You all are the best!!

Yes absolutely !
We will still need you and still feed you, dear Paul ! Happy 64th birthday! 
Hello again KB! You have absolutely
nailed it on my feelings of QA. We think identically all over this forum - its almost scary!! Maybe we're related! Thanks so much for your thoughts! 
Absolutely not. nm

A big ABSOLUTELY to YOU!!
Could not agree more! That is EXACTLY why so much garbage IN! I have thought this now for the past 10 years, have been doing this MT stuff for almost 11 years. If QA would not just fill in and let the blanks go through, MAYBE then the docs would speak like human beings instead of some psycho machine! Thanks for your putting it out there, QA.
Absolutely would not put up with it! sm
I have a friend whose husband does that very thing - absolutely would not go in my relationships.
I can see my hubby getting out with the guys once in a while, but not a weekly or daily routine.
I believe everybody needs their space once in a while, but when one frequents the bar scene often, there is something missing at home. I have seen it in my friends and some members of my family.
If that were to happen or if my hubby wanted to pursue this routine, I would have to look at our relationship and see what is missing and we would have to work on it - or out the door he'd go and end in divorce court!
Absolutely someone who does NOT know me!
Not that I have anything to hide. . .

Certainly, noncompete clauses are to discourage the act of "stealing" accounts. I couldn't fault anybody for getting an account they had no idea was a client of mine, nor could that even be defined as stealing. I just need to reword my contract, I think, to reflect that it is only the accounts the Transcriptionist is working on that would fall under the non-compete, but I don't know how to word it. Maybe will talk to my attorney on Monday.
As for your question, they are not working for me yet, and have not signed the contract, they just made the changes to my original contract and sent them back for my review and approval.
