In Reply to: Net Script...any info on this company? - Jeanna

Are you talking about the company located in Clarksville Arkansas?? I just talked with them today and am trying to find some info about them. They sent me a contract wanting my bank account info and SSN. I didn't want to give that out unless they were legitimate.

Has anyone run into this company; they are located in Arkansas?  They say you are an IC and then they treat you like a statutory employee, naming your hours, giving you your equipment, signing a noncompete clause, constant phone calls back and forth, etc.  They are bad news!  Stay as far away as you can.

They are not professionally run; very disorganized, system up and down, and no questions are ever answered promptly; you wait for days and days to get set up. Too many other good companies out there, look elsewhere.

Could anyone give me any information about NetScript.  The only information I could find was 3 years old.  Thank you.


Need some info on NetScript

Any would be appreciated:)


Netscript...a legitimate company??
I just talked with Doug from there today and was wanting to do some research on the company before signing the contract.  I did not want to give my bank info and SSN to them without knowing if it was a LEGITIMATE company.  So, would you say they are legitimate, like they are not going to get into my bank account or anything??  I understand that they are a bad company to work for, but I am in need of the work right now, so I don't really care about that.  I just need to know that they don't get into your bank account and they do really pay you for your work.  Thanks!!  Any info would be appreciated!
QED - Arkansas
Is this the QED located in Bentonville, Arkansas?
I'm from Arkansas and they are located here.
Don't really know anything about them though, except for what I saw posted on the State Board for Arkansas.  Check it out.
Aren't they in Arkansas?
What do you want to know? I might be able to help if you mean QED in Arkansas.

QED Transcription, Bentonville, Arkansas
QED hires part-time and full-time transcriptionists, with a required minimum of 600 lines per day for PT and 1200 lines per day full time. A line is considered 58 characters on some of the more difficult accounts, 60 characters on some of the other accounts (as I understand it). Any lines above 6000 lines per week is 7 cents a line, and then 8 cents per line for a certain number of lines over that--but that is very difficult to attain. (The pay scale is a little bit more complicated than that, but that is basically it).

They hire both acute care transcriptionists with many years experience and clinical transcriptionists who just finishing training. They have quite a few different accounts to meet the needs of various transcriptionists.

They are struggling to keep their transcriptionists in work and are doing a fairly good juggling act, but the trade-off for transcriptionists is a less flexible schedule than what one might prefer. Instead of requiring a certain number of lines per day at your leisure, they require you to choose a schedule that works for you and stick with it--i.e., not be away from your desk more than 15 minutes during your chosen time, begin on time, end on time, etc. or contact the help desk if you must deviate from your schedule, be counted tardy if you are not there on the dot, etc. Also, there are constant requests for working on the weekends, AFTER you have satisfied your commitment for during your regular schedule.

To summarize, the pay is low; the schedule is not as flexible as it could be. They do provide the equipment, and you might or might not like that arrangement. You certainly can't pop over and check your own e-mail while you are on their computer.

They do offer health and dental insurance for full-time employees, paid days off and unpaid days off.

One more thing, low pay notwithstanding, they are really sticklers for accuracy, but I've found it easy to meet the accuracy requirements.

For reference, I have 20 years' transcription experience in a variety of settings, including acute care and clinical.

There are many, many ESL dictators in the accounts that I am assigned to.
