no need to "do" anything. you just hire on as an IC...

or change status with current employer to IC.  At the end of the year instead of a W2 you will receive a 1099.  You give that to your CPA (make sure he knows about at-home businesses......very important), and keep track of all your expenses.  Things that you never would have imagine are deductible....for instance, 1/10th of my square footage is my office, so I am allowed to write off 1/10th of mortgage payment (however, there are depreciation factors that go along with this), gas bill, electric bill, water bill, high speed internet, up to $6,000 per year in meals and entertainment for all those luncheons you have with prospective new clients :).  There are too numerous to name here, but I think it is a win-win.


 


 


(That's "to", not "do")

Thanks. I will call...Sorry, that should read are they the company that "do" ERs, not does! (

usually it's just an uproductive CYA knee jerk "do something" reaction (SM)
some supervisors like to lash the troops in turn when they get negative feedback ... others issue these blanket condemnations (suggesting their team is made up of lazy, unprofessional, dullards) to, in turn, show THEIR supervisor that they 'DID SOMETHING' ...

I wish they realized just how demoralizing these missives are ... and how often they reflect very bad new employee training and QA; lousy ongoing communication wrt to client feedback as well as changes in account specifics ... and let's not talk about obviously outdated, poorly written and/or incomplete and/or confusing and/or contradictory account specifics

oh, and then there's the cowardice of sending group memo to everyone rather than actually -- actually -- discussing the problem(s) with the offending MTs (who likely had no idea their work quality was unacceptable (or they would have fixed it).

I know supervisors are hideously overtaxed with far too many MT's and accounts to oversee ... but yes, I've worked under nothing but bad news supervisors and it sucks.
Excuse me, but yes she did. The OP's very last line posted by anony asks "do they pay spaces?&
Someone probably needs more coffee this morning but it isn't me. All I did was make a simple comment and this is what I get. It's no wonder a lot of us don't post more often as we get flamed for everything we say.
I meant nothing wrong. I meant a friend who can vouch for

It was not meant to be nasty. I meant that you should take every job seriously. Just because someo
is their focus does not mean that patients should suffer. 96% accuracy could mean the difference to someone who is on the receiving end of that report. I am NOT QA or management but I am an experienced Transcriptionist who believes that the reports we transcribe need to be accurate for the patient's sake.
That is not what I meant at all! Meant broaden to

Broaden to think leave to other profession if that is what is wanted, dont limit yourself to thinking only can leave to another MTSO.  Geeesh.


Sorry I meant
just like sm and not dj. I
did not see who correctly who posted first.
Oh, NO!!! That's not what I meant.
I'm sorry it came across that way.  I got duped into applying with them by all the rave reviews on the boards, too.  Plus, they make no mention of it on their website.  I refuse to work for a company that offshores.  As for the people who are happy there, more power to them.  That's their decision and I'm glad they've got great jobs.  I just need something else from a company.
SORRY - meant DRC not DSC
...
As I said, if it meant that much to me I WOULD
figured it was their loss.  No biggie to me.  All I was doing was giving MY experience with the company, which consisted of being told I would be called back, and then not being called.
THE LAST ONE MEANT FOR MT2
Thanks!
14,000 - that's what I meant to say! nm

Sorry, I meant see msg
/
I meant even that isn't much FOR QA...
x
Sorry, I think I meant DSG. nm
nm
I am sure that is what was meant.
Would you tell your child that determination is not enough? I felt that it was not appropriate to tell a future grad that she cannot do something when there is not one of us who knows her well enough to make such a judgement.
sorry meant WILL NOT
get that rate at Deventure
what I meant was...
that I had information and if you would email me, I would share that information in a private email.
Sorry I meant to say just . . . .
Sorry I meant to say just my opinion.
That's not the "M" that I meant.
:)
Sorry...meant
Remember the MTSO/hospital has the ability to change the way lines are counted and not allow you to check your lines...run like the wind from a company who will not allow you to have access to line counts!
You KNOW what she meant. - QA
She probabloy is in a dither.
he/she may have meant
that people who get paid weekly no matter what (I suppose that could be management, tech staff, office staff, whatever) do not understand the importance of consistency in line counts for someone paid by the line.  Do not stay in the twilight zone too long.  GEEEEEEEEEEEESH.
I think what Rad MT meant
Was that typing on an MT board and performance at work were two different things. You can't get fired for posting a message with bad grammar, spelling or punctuation. However you can get fired for making mistakes in reports on the job.

However everyone including RadMT needs to calm down.
Sorry....... I meant to say those at FN....
xx
I meant..
something not someone.
I meant that is sad
Spheris has sucked out my last brain cell, LOL.
meant doing one now.
 
I meant the OP :-) nm

Sorry...meant MDI, not MDS
:)
I meant......
I have nothing to do with 'India'.
In your mind if I say that Indians are intelligent, this makes me in your eyes an Indian?

I know that a lot of people read these comments, but still they cannot detect my 'dialect'. I think you mean 'accent'.

Can people who read what I write hear my accent?

Not such a good 'Sherlock Holmes, aren't you? I can tell 100% this and that...and I can tell, you can tell nothing.


I meant to say yes, yes, yes - keep looking/ not yes, yes, yes take the job! nm

I meant to say 7.5 cpl when off QA
thanks
I meant thank you to sm NM
x
I think the OP meant

Working a required number of hours vs. being paid an hourly wage.


I meant to say, So, I appreciate that I am the only one
me straight. Just looking for a little direction since you seem to know where the work is. My family would appreciate this help, as if I could earn more, we could eat more. Thanks in advance.
Sorry, this was meant to go under
.
That is what I meant - sorry
even if you are not scheduled to work that day. TT is the only company I know of that pays 1.5 for lines typed on holidays if you are not scheduled to work.
We all know that she meant TTD, come on! nm
nm
I don't think that is what he meant...

At the Q, you are limited now as to how many blanks you send in.  Does not matter what the reason... discrepancy, audio problems, doesn't matter.  Right now it is at 30% but soon are to be down to 20% and then 15%.  It doesn't even matter if QA can't even fill it in, it still counts against you!


QUALITY, Medquist style.


Sorry meant to say

Do 500+ reports a week and send only 1-2 reports due to MY error.  (provided you consider indecipherable ESL MY error).


I need some coffee, not awake yet.


I don't think she meant the MTs...
are doctors and pharmacists.  I think she meant the interviews were of doctors and pharmacists.  I've done that kind of work.  Yes, there are lots of medical/pharmacological terms tossed in that type of work. 
EEK - I meant thank you to TW :)
xx
Maybe you were just not meant to do
Some of us do really well with it. I love it and would not want to ever return to straight totally again.
Of course I meant...
learned HOW to use...

Time for me to go to bed!
I meant gone down
nm
Meant this is not.

 


It was meant for the OP, not you.
Relax.
That's exactly what I meant, thank you! nm
