I see a lot of information posted about benefits, hours, 401 K, PTO, bonuses, etc., but I am wondering did anyone get a raise that was posted in their packet?

If so, are you happy with it?

Any info on TSLLC in NC? 

Documented a bunch of stuff.  First job contact was bizarre.  Second one was lukewarm with one really offensive aspect.  If you email me I can pass some info to you...it's rather cumbersome for the board. 

A recruiter asked if I had this on my computer.  I do not even know what this is.  How can I tell if my computer has this.

Thanks

Looking to see what Transcend pays for VR. Have switched to VR account. Would like to hear if you ever make any money with VR. Also anyone's thoughts of Escription, likes/dislikes.

I was wondering if it is employee status, pay rates for ER and radiology, work flow, good or bad company, etc.  I've done a search and have only found similar questions with no answers. 

Thanks!

I'd like to hear opinions on companies who say they offer insurance to their employees.  Just today I was offered a position by a company who said they offered benefits and then when asking for details, I find out they don't pay a cent toward the monthly premium, it ALL comes out of my pay.  I am sorry folks, but that is not benefits to me.  I may as well be an IC and get my own insurance.  Probably would be cheaper too.  I counter offered to them asking them if I could work IC status and just get a higher line rate........they wouldn't go for it.  Another thing is they require you to type 12,000 lines in a pay period to be eligible for the insurance.  What in the world for?  They are not paying out a red cent toward those benefits so why would it matter how many lines you transcribed if you are paying for the insurance yourself.  This is the first time I have ever heard of something like this and I am pretty ticked about it (I know you can tell).......  In my opinion, there would no benefit at all to being an employee other than they would take your taxes out for you!!!

What is up with MAG Mutual?  Heard they sold out - what happened?  I heard they had let many MTs go, but ?????

I know those of you who like Landmark are going to argue but I am just going to post the situation with me.

I posted before that I tried for a month to start with Landmark and they never could get me up and running.  They had sent me everything for the account the FOB and the foot pedal etc.  Well I sent the FOB back in a padded envelope which they say they don't have yet.  They also said they sent me a UPS return label by e-mail that I never got.  Apparently they pay for these labels in advance and are now harassing me about the foot pedal.  I keep telling them send me a label and I will send it back.  I have absolutely no use for a dictaphone foot pedal.  But I WILL NOT pay to send it back.  These people cost me a ton of money in a month.

It just surprises me that people can act like this.  It has gotten to the point of harassment.  I sent my final e-mail to them a bit ago and told them to send me a UPS label and I will send back the foot pedal.  As far as the FOB, it went back, I can't track the mail for crying out loud.  Anybody got any ideas?/  This is getting ridiculous.

In general, do your bosses respond to your e-mails with questions about your accounts, etc? My boss does not answer any e-mails. All of my e-mails have been our accounts and not just B.S.

What does anyone know about Orion?

Since the acquisition of Cymed, how many MTs at SPi have lost their jobs or had their workload lightened?   

I have heard already from at least eight MTs who have had all of their work taken from them.   Just curious.   

I also have heard from three editors who have lost their jobs completely.

Has anyone heard of TCC (Transcription Communications Corp.)? I believe they're in California. Any information concerning the company would be very helpful.

Thanks!

Would like to know what they consider competitive wage -- current workers do you make 8-1/2 cpl or more?  Also, how about the new lower insurance rates?  I thank you in advance -- it is such a pain to go through the testing and interview only to learn one or the other is prohibitive. 

Could anyone tell me if they have ever worked for this company and your thoughts concerning them?  I did a search and came up with nothing on the site, so would like some additional information.

Thank you.

Recently hired by OSi.  When the tech went to install the software, he said he couldn't because I had Editscript installed.  I use Editscript for another part-time job and really don't want to take it off, however, he told me he could not install their software unless I removed Editscript. 

 I guess my question is two-fold from anyone with similar experience.  Does OSi keep you busy?  And, is it necessary to remove another software platform just because you work for more than one company?
