To ADMINISTRATOR: Is this a legit company?

Posted By: re: Jax Transcription on 2007-08-30
In Reply to: Jax Transcription - MT2

I hope that this isn't someone's idea of a joke as I have already sent my resume. I find absolutely nothing on the internet regarding a company with this name. The ads indicate that they have several accounts already...why can't I find anything on this company?

Company legit
Has anyone ever heard of the company Anita Niles-Lee & Associates?  They offered me a job and I want to make sure they are legit before I quite my cuurent job.  Please help.
RE: Company legit
I guess you have been to their website and read there? What I read is they have been in business for over 12 years. Sounds legitimate to me.

Legit Company
Has anyone heard of Mountain west.
Horrible company, they are legit though.

There is a reason they are always hiring.   Lots in the archives.


Since when does any legit company call us "transcribers"?
That throws up a red flag for me. Legitimate US-based companies would never say they are looking for transcribers.
Administrator - Another job ad w/o company name

ADMINISTRATOR, what company is she advertising for, please? nm

Yes, they are legit

I work for them.  They pay on time and are very easy to work with.  Good luck!! God bless!

Legit?
I assure you Allegiant Transcripton Services is a legit company.
Yes, it is legit

Career Step is a legit program and they are partnered with Spheris for them to hire their grads upon graduation.  Starting pay is around 6.5 cents per line which is in the range of what other newbies start out making in employee status.


I attended Career Step, took the Spheris Training Track and went to work for Spheris.  I am also an affiliate member who does receive a small token of a referral fee, however, I am not here to give rave reviews or try to twist your arm one way or the other.  I would recommend that you attend a course that is approved by the AAMT/AHDI though. 


If you have specific questions, feel free to email me!


they are legit and pay on time...

You didn't ask anything else.  Email me if you have more specific questions.

is this legal/legit?

I love the company I work for.  I love the people, love the work.  Only one complaint:  They deduct $12.50 out of each paycheck for a total of $25. each month for rental of their software.  They said they were told they had to do that if we were IC's.  We use our own computers, or rent theirs, so why should we pay to use a version of Word? I have never had anyone else do this in 15 years.  Also, they want to charge a fee to do direct deposit.  I've never seen that charged for either.  Is this Kosher or should I say something?  If so, what?


I worked for them. They are legit - sm
That is only a front name so they can't be found. Very secretive owner. No one can know the other MTs. However, pay was truly that (actually it should be 11 cents as that was what most were). Depends what work types you do. Can plow through some stuff and make great money. Other work types suck - some really bad foreigners there.
They are definitely legit. I was offered
position with them but could just not work the hours they needed.  I regretfully turned down.  Great owner and great MTs work there. 
Words R Us out of Illinois ? Is this legit?

Companies who truly understand IC and are legit won't
require that. My company says they will never require a schedule and do not direct deposit for the simple fact that those are things you do with employees, and they do not want to ever cross the line of IC/employee with their ICs. There are bound to be other companies on the same way of thinking. Sadly, I agree with another poster that said if people are willing to sign contracts and accept set hours, it will become something we can't get away from. ICs stand up for yourselves and point out the law to the interviewer so this does not happen!
I can tell the OP had legit info, but my issue /sm

is this.  If someone is employed by Webmedx, goes through training and does not hit the 98%, I'm sure they are let go, BUT they are also paid for the work they did while in training.  They have to be paid, it's the law.


If you get work from WMX you have to return the work typed, correct?  If a trainee typed it, you wouldn't return the work without someone from your company looking it over to score it, I assume any errors are corrected also.


If you return a completed report to WMX, they have to pay you, correct?  If the trainee who typed that report is let go, you are keeping 100% of the money paid to you for that report and the MT who typed it is not paid a cent?  I am trying to work this out in my head and this is the conclusion I have come to.  If it is correct, there is something very wrong with this arrangement.  You may not have to pay someone by law, but morally that wouldn't sit right with me at all. 


all legit companies withhold for taxes but...
when you say I found it difficult enough just paying my regular bills with the very low rate of pay this company offered, and it was impossible for me to also put aside extra money to pay for the taxes they refused to take out That can't be true. one way or another the money comes out, either they do it before you get the check or you do it after you get the check. If you could afford it if they took it out, then your take home pay would be less. So it's absolutely equal that you could afford it by setting it aside yourself. At least you got to earn a little interest on it!

Thanks

WAH MOMMY!
Anyone heard of Career Step program?..cost?..legit?
I checked out the Spheris website and I don't have enough experience to apply...but they directed me to Career Step kind of as a prerequisite to get your foot in the door for employment....there's gotta be a some kind of cost, but I didn't stick around to find out....link, after link, after link..yada yada...anyone have any comments on this setup?
So administrator..is OSi done for here now??
xx
I wonder why the Administrator
as she so frequently does? Question for the Administrator...Is it true that any negative posts of companies who advertise on this board are deleted??? If so, why is this? If this is not true, why was the string about Transcription Matchmaker deleted?
ADMINISTRATOR
Is there any way that you can make a requirement that MTSO's who post on the job board list the name of their company.

I have responded to some of the anonymous posts by sending my resume and never ever hear a word back. It makes me uneasy because my address and phone number is on my resume.

After giving this some thought, why would a legitimate company post anonymously. On all other sites, companies who post jobs must list the company name.

Please consider making this a requirement.

Thanks.
To the ADMINISTRATOR
I have received unsolicited email from this site and do not like it at all.

As the posts get older, will they eventually drop our 'email me' link?
Way to go, administrator!!
Thank you for speaking for all of us!
Administrator

What does a little hand pointing in front of a post mean?  I am searching for a post of mine that looks as if it has been deleted.  While searching I came across a reply of mine to a post, and there is this hand in front of it, and you cannot open my reply.  I feel as if I am being boycotted or something - - LOL!  Seriously, what is going on?


Administrator
It's great you removed the post, but I didn't get to see it. Wondering if it wouldn't be fair to name the company so those of us who didn't see it will know what type of company we are dealing with if/when they repost an ad?

You could leave the ad and the company up as an example of how to get your ad deleted... what *not* to post.
Administrator-just curious
what was offensive about my post that caused it to be deleted?  Not a regular poster but wondering what is considered offensive?  No name calling, no swearing, yet....the rude and aggressive posts are allowed to remain.  Makes no sense to me. 
I will pass that along to the Administrator. Thank you. (NM)

ADMINISTRATOR and others regarding TPJS

I just thought I would let you and others know about a job that is posted on the job board.  It was a ACUTE CARE MTS/EDITOR position that offer hourly wages.  To me this sounds like a BIG SCAM.  They send you an email stating that they are delighted to offer you a transcription position within a certain hourly range but then as you read further it states Please remit $25.00 for your independent contractor background check. We
accept credit cards, debit cards, money orders, money grams and cashier
checks as a form of payment.

Please note: We do not accept personal check.  They go by the company name of Telecommuting Personnel Job Services or TPJS, Inc.


The ad never had the companies name in it as well.


I would think that if a company wants to hire you and do a background check that they would pay for it!


Do you think this sounds like a SCAM??


E-mail the administrator.
company name identified. 
Administrator...I have text set for largest, but

...have to keep the settings in control panel as is for my job.  The text is awfully small.  Would there be any other way to enlarge it, or do I have to make-do?  


I love the site and the changes, too, just find it rather small.  Unfortunately, on my end, I can not change any other settings, and the +/- does not work for me, either. 


Send you comments to the Administrator. (SM)
Be care of the tone and remarks on this board.
ADMINISTRATOR, MODERATOR, please explain (sm)
Why does clicking on the OSi link say no offshoring activities reported after they have been banned from advertising on MTStars for proven offshoring?
Only if administrator of board can be given proof.
nm
I am sure the Administrator is looking into this. Don't make assumptions. nm
x
Yes, administrator/moderator has posted that
.

I have reported this message to the Administrator

This has got to be the most unprofessional situation I have ever witnessed.  I cannot believe it.


This question was addressed with Administrator. (SM)
Job listings are written by the companies posting the listing. We do not define how they make their own listings.

If you feel uncomfortable sending a resume to an unidentified company, then you should not. Perhaps an e-mail to them asking for identification first.

I thought that was the Administrator and BuckeyeLil! nm

Please email the Administrator regarding CorTMedical
/
I say have the administrator check the IP addresses
That's the only way to know for sure!!  Can you do that, administrator?? 
Administrator: Jill on Job Board
Job listing for Docshuttle Experienced MT - Part Time has no company name. Any info?
Please forward those e-mails to the Administrator. SM
The Administrator will handle those harassing e-mails.

The address is admin@mtstars.com.

Administrator Why is Webmedx posting here they OUTSOURCE!
nm
They told the board administrator that they didn't
offshore, when there was proof that they did.   Whether or not they posted the other stuff I don't know, but they lied and got caught at it and if that doesn't make them look bad, considering how sensitive an issue offshoring is,  I don't know what will.   They probably didn't think they would get caught.
