Words R Us in Illinois?
Anyone hear of them or have experience with them?

Thank you
Definitely need the Sted's Derm&Immuno Words and a Path&Lab Words to do derm. Lots of weirdness!
s
Sted's Ortho Words, a lab words book, at least 1 drug book, and your AAMT BOS 2nd

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.

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.
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. 
To ADMINISTRATOR: Is this a legit company?
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?
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. 


Horrible company, they are legit though.

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


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!

i have worked for west.com - made $12 - $14 per hour, paid every 2 weeks


hope this will help


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.
Excalibur is legit and they are now hiring again for new projects!
I been working with Excalibur for the past 9 months!

I currently do transcription and document coding with them FT and i love the variety of jobs they post each week in their remote job bank registry.

Thanks

WAH MOMMY!

Southern Illinois Transcription...from below...sm
Please steer clear of this one.  the owner is rude, moody, and sends out emails YELLING (all caps) Threatening and if you try to contact other MTs who work on the same account with you, she gets hightly ticked off.  I told her she was crazy and then was gone!  Maybe she needed medication or something.
