company listing
I know there is a site that lists MT companies but I did not bookmark it.  Can anyone tell me that site please?  Thanks
What size company?
For the major ones, I can find stock information and all that, but I can't seem to find much on this one.  Anybody know what size they are?
mid size company
 If you wouldn't mind, I would like to get an email stating the company you work for now.  I plan to stay where I am as long as I can, but I really want to have some options open if things get any worse.  I am a long time MT, educated, hospital experience, at home experience, IC experience.  Thanks.
No worry at present. As an IC for a mid size company...sm
I always submit my invoice using one of the accepted line counting softwares out there. Never a discrepancy on my invoice and paid in one week or less after submission of my invoice. Fortunately, I work for a company who values their MTs and pays quite fairly. I asked the question only out of curiosity. I only wanted more information regarding the MT platforms for future use. No plans on going anywhere for now, but one never knows in this industry.
Don't be so quick to assume that a company of that size does not know the laws. sm
It can come back to bite you later on; fraud has no statute of limitations.

You need to look at the facts: Companies pay unemployment insurance in every state they have employees in. They pay whether there are claims or not. The money paid to you was money paid into a general fund, so you really didn't do anything to the company themselves. It's not like companies write a check to the unemployment division; the money comes from money paid in out of taxes. Shame on you for taking money for free when you were an IC. It is illegal, it is unethical and your name should be assact, not classact, based on the obvious ignorance you have in most areas.

By the way, most MT jobs are employee status, not IC. If you were applying for jobs every week online and offline for six months and could not get a job, the answer is simple: You need a new career because you suck.
Because no information on your company shows up, you think

I agree, it shows a company has discretion rather than
wise decisions. That is rare in this business.
Tip for new employees to any company

This may sound like simple and crazy advice but I was recently sweating bullets when I started a new job and afraid that I could not meet the line requirements.  I sat down on my day off and spent about 4 or 5 hours seriously updating my shortcut program. I must have added 10 times the amount of shortcuts that I had before.  The very next time that I worked I doubled my production and it has gone up every day since then. 


So it may not be the new company you go to work for if you are worrying about making the line requirements. It may be your shortcut program needs some serious updating. That was sure true in my case.


There are probably still some rotten companies out there but I made a big difference myself and now I couldn't be happier at my new company!


From the company owner to the employees
after somebody mistakenly forwarded an email from someone in India to the company employees- then they had to fess up. The person with the email slipup decided to "change jobs" within the company and it went to the pits after that with incompetent managers.
There are disgruntled former employees at any company
if you do your work and do it well you'll be fine at Diskriter.
Good company who employees nearly as many
a good company who always swore they would never offshore our work. Yup, good company. 1000 domestic MTs and 600 Indians.  They make MQ look loyal to the US!
A horrible company who does not value truth or the employees.

Why don't you TRY listing them,

the reasons that VR is so great.  Bet you can't think of a thing, can you? 


Thought so. 


Is there a company who offers benefits to parttime employees?
Just curious
I work for another company that advertises for new employees often with the same reaction. Maybe s
those who are NOT in-the-know should keep their opinions to themselves unless they know facts. The company I work for is hiring over 100 MTs as well due to two new accounts between now and the end of the year too. Maybe a few of the biggies have lost a few accounts that the mid-size MTSOs can handle in a more personal manner. Perhaps hospitals are FINALLY getting tired of the offshore garbage they are getting back from some of the other nationals. Either way, there are some major accounts changing services and a few of the mid-size MTSOs will need to pull from the transcriptionists out there looking for a better job!
If the hospital employees know, then the company knows. Keep your mouth shut and get out.

You judge an entire company by the posts of 2 or 3 out of 500+ employees?
That amazes me with MQ too. A few people post but the what they write it taken as gospel.

Keystrokes is very well run; it is sad that someone can make a blanket statement about something they know nothing about.
Most company web sites have testimonials from LOTS of employees, not just one. sm

Kind of makes you think, doesn't it?  They just use that one tired rave review of yours.


As far as not having a problem with you being gone -- you're an IC!  You're SUPPOSED to be able to be gone when you need to be.   It is another place that doesn't seem to know the meaning of the idea of being an IC, although that is par for the course nowadays and I really cannot point them out as being the only one who does that.


It would seem best to let the CardioScribes thread die, but you had to bring it to the foreground again. 


Actually, having employees work at home is a benefit...TO THE COMPANY
more than the employee. The company doesn't have to pay for office space, electricity, etc.....
I don't see any job listing for them on either this site or
the other one. Am I missing something?
Without Naming Company, Does anyone know cost of COBRA for out-of-state employees?

She is definitely an employee. This company in Georgia has 150+ employees. Forty hour
work week is one thing but having them get very upset when you are working 50-60 hours and be nasty when the account is still behind but saying no overtime, no way is a very different thing.  I advised her ask the department to check out this company and out get out of there anyway. 
Does any company offer insurance to part'time employees? nm

I could only find a business listing - sm
Here is a link - search the page for their listing, it's near the bottom of the page.

It is only a double period, but still.

Gearplayer on E-bay with one hour to go and only $2.50!! SM for listing #
For those that may not know, Gearplayer is a program that plays voicefiles. The I just bought my Gearplayer in August and it was $90.00. Mine is the newer version 3.3.4. The one listed is a 2.6 version, but you can install the upgrades off the computer. It's in perfect condition. The listing number is below. Good luck!

I noticed their listing on the job board...
and was just wondering about them.  Searched the archives and found nada.
When I clicked on the web site for the job listing at
Vision Infonet Inc that is listed on the Job Seeker's Board, my antivirus program would not let me go any further because the site was apparently trying to download a Trojan horse virus onto my computer.  BEWARE!!!

Data Entry Specialist job listing?

Does anyone know anything about the data entry specialist job listing on the job board?  Is this one of those scam or is it a real job?  I applied for it, but have not heard anything yet.  Has anyone here heard anything about it? 


Thanks


Data Entry Specialist Listing

I was wondering if anyone had heard back from this job listing yet?  I got an email today from Stanford Executive Recruitment today with the same information as the job listing and so am assuming that is them.  They want a $14.00 registration fee so I am smelling SCAM.  Just wondering what you all thought or have experienced with this one.


Thanks

Rapid Transcript, Inc- Does anyone have any recent info on this company...current/previous employees
I am wondering about anyone who has recently or is currently working for this company...any input is appreciated. There is some Bad talk about non-payment in the search archives from 2003-2004, but no recent talk. Just curious. :)
OK, which are better? Don't tell me, "medium size co that

Font size has nothing to do with it, it is

I wanted to apply for a position with a current job listing.

But, they really did not provide much information.  I e-mailed asking for the range of compensation and platform information since the test they want completed is pretty involved.  I never heard anything from them.  Are that many really willing to spend an hour or more testing without the most basic of information being given?  I really did not think it was asking too much.  Makes me wonder ... either enough MTs are willing to test first, find out later or the company is not comfortable enough with what it has to offer to include it in the ad or respond to an e-mail.  Oh well. 


Then that distinction needs to be made in this listing of "What All MTs Should be Paid" - sm
There should be a distinction between pay rates for ICs vs those wanting benefits.

11 cpl is not out of range for an IC, but high if you expect me to provide insurance and paid vacation, etc.
The the huge size of MedQuist...
be used to once again make MQ a true leader in the medical transcriptin industry, realizing the value of all employees and the realization that a happy work force is a productive work force.
I agree, size really does matter! :) SM

With a work force mainly at home, it just becomes unmanageable to try and run a well oiled machine and give each MT the kudos they deserve where there are so many of them.  I would settle for a small company any day.  They don't have the luxury of treating good employees badly.  No MQ for me.  As far as contributing, I would contribute mentoring and put my 35 years' experience to use bringing along the next generation.   I would also do away with the 65 character line standardization initiated by AAMT (who have since stepped away from their discovery) and go back to the gross line, which is much more verifiable for billing and for paying the MT.  Lastly, I would educate the powers that be that the MTs are not their cross to bear.  They are, in fact, their bread and butter and they deserve a decent wage, benefits, and respect.  


That's the size of a passport photo. nm

They are probably both medium size companies

take font size into account too nm

Font size should not matter...sm
65 characters per line, if a line is calibrated that way, is 65 characters per line. 
Their listing on mtjobs.com (#11) still has them in Wisconsin. A contact likes working for them,

Can we change the font size without changing

the appearance of the document font/size when it goes to the client. This is a Word-based program, and I know QA has asked me not to send with View size changed, so it must stay at 150% (or whatever size) when you change it in the document.  Thanks for your help.


Work night shift and eyes are tired by the end of the day.


People keep talking about mid size companies sm
but which are they? Keystrokes, TT? Are they mid size? That means better? I think it just depends on who you are, how much experience and what platform you end up getting and with accounts going here, there any everywhere, lots of luck.
OSI reduced header/footer size but still keeps
@#$%
Basically, if size of check is enough to compensate
