Dont you find it interesting that MQ went right on advertising for statutory employees and hiring SE
people certainly having known for a long time that this was coming. I guess they figure a lot of people would not feel like switching companies so they screwed them also now they either become an employee or look again.
Oh for sure employees, but not too often for statutory employees. Sorry for confusion.

statutory employees

I have been with MQ since 1983 when they were still Transcriptions Limited (the good old days).  I don't know what they are doing and I wish I knew.  I am part-time 5000 lines a pay period but it only takes me two hours to do 500 lines so that works fine with me.  I am on disability and only work enough to supplement by SS.  Plus I cannot sit more than two hours at a time so it works out fine.  If they come up with this 4 hour minimum then I am in a heap of trouble.


I had someone from corporate call today to ask if I had gotten that letter about the new program.  At the time I told him no, but I think I did I just can't find it.  I have just gotten out of the hospital after a 12 day stay and can't even get my mind together to figure it out.


I don't like the sound of things but we will know in October according to this guy who called.


statutory employees

I was told today that we would know in October.


No, everybody there are statutory employees (SE) - nm

former statutory employees can....sm

As I know it, if you were an SE and taxes were taken out, you can file for unemployment.....


Statutory employees.

No, I don't think so, since we are Statutory Employees; however, call and ask to be sure. nm

who hires statutory employees -
This has probably been addressed before, but after reading a thread on the main board about IC tax hassles, I am just wondering if anyone hires statutory employees, so I can avoid the extra SE tax. Thanks in advance.
Does MQ have STATUTORY EMPLOYEES anymore under new plan


After I have spent money, time, trying to meet MQ's requisites for


the computer to type on their docuscribe, are they even going to have Statutory Employees?


If you are an employee, don't they provide the computer?


Why didn't they tell me this when I made the 20+ phones calls trying to meet their requirements - why couldn't they have said "we won't have statutory status anymore with the new plan"???????????


I'm just guessing there won't be statutory because nothing is mentioned about it in the letter from Barbato. 


Has anyone been called yet about the new pay plan for MQ in regards to statutory employees.
:
You can't compare the two - MDI has only statutory employees and contractors
with no benefits. Transcend has full time employees with benefits. I would not believe everything you hear on this board with regard to pay. I make 8 cents per line with MDI, and I am just hoping I wont get a pay cut for benefits
MDI-MD hires statutory employees, full or part time. sm
Their web site is www.mditrans.com.  They pay well, always on time, direct deposit, and genuinely care about their employees.  Good luck!
do any companies still have statutory status?
and do they provide the computer or do you use your own?
do any companies hire statutory anymore? - nm

By hiring employees...

There are many, many companies that have employees only, not ICs. sm
These companies know that you have to pay taxes, have benefits, etc if you want to keep turnaround times quick, be able to set schedules, and monitor work. I have worked as an IC and an employee at several companies, currently at Keystrokes for the last 2 years (and plan to retire from Keystrokes in 5 years). I do not have to worry about taxes or anything else for that matter, as long as I work when I am supposed to and how I am supposed to. I made over $60,000 last year and as an IC was lucky to make $45,000.

There are plenty of other companies that have employees only, too.
Which companies hire statuartory employees?

Companies hiring PT?
Does anyone know of an organized and good company hiring very part time MTs or about 10 hours per week, mainly weekends?  I'd hate to test for them all if they ultimately want 20 or more hours.  TIA!
Get used to it. Companies are hiring more MTs to
a
Any companies hiring PT less than 20 hrs besides MQ? nm
 
Any companies other than MQ that use DQS that are currently hiring. nm

Precyse Solutions uses a similar platform and it is VERY user friendly. They currently have openings. I work for them and absolutely love them. Used to work for MQ.
What's up with companies hiring ICs and...sm
then telling them they need to adhere to a strict schedule?  Their desire to classify a worker an IC is so they don't have to pay any taxes or give any benefits, equal to about $0.02 a line.  Nevertheless, they also do not want to pay the IC at a higher rate to compensate for this.  The schedule part is what gets me the most though.  My only reason for being an IC is the flexibility it affords me.   
Because these companies no longer care about their employees anymore. nm

Any decent companies hiring?

Does anyone know of a good MT company that is hiring?  Here is what I am looking for...


Flexible schedule


Taxes taken out


Differential if shift work is required


Software that allows decent line counts


 


THANKS!


Companies that are hiring for VR editors? Anyone know of any?
Thanks
Many companies are hiring MTs, QA people etc as
recruiters.
Any companies hiring for op reports?
My company seems to have dried up. 
Companies hiring dial up
I swore I posted this but cannot find it. Are there any companies hiring for ICs that will let you use dial-up? I would love to work at my inlaws cottage this summer but they can't get high speed access. Thanks.

It seems to be the new trend - many companies hiring
inexperienced people or clerks (if you will) to manage MTs. It's definitely now all about money, folks. Never thought I'd see the day where folks would take approximately 10 bucks an hour, be paid salary, and work 60 hrs a week, but they are! You have to hand it to them though, this will definitely build up their resumes for the future. Can you imagine who will be managing the industry in say ten years? For once I AM GLAD I'm old. lol
Which companies use EditScript? and are they hiring? nm

Any companies that use DocQscribe hiring PT ICs?
The sound quality at DSG seems to get more awful each day.
Any companies hiring for M-F work
I have 10+ years of experience as an MT and need to have a Monday through Friday schedule because that is what works with my kids, school, and their summer sports.  Are there any companies hiring experienced MTs for M-F work? Thanks
Does anyone know of good companies hiring for QA... sm
.... with hourly pay?  Thanks.
Doesn't mean they are HIRING; most companies sm
continue to accept applications even when they have no positions open. That way they are ready for the future and have a list of approved applicants when accounts come on-line.
Are there any companies out there that offer benefits to PT employees, such as health insurance?
I know it's a rarity but I know hospitals do.
I agree.. Too many companies treat employees unfairly and feel they can get away with it.
Too many MTs would have just turned the other cheek, chocking it up to a bad experience and moved on, which is what I probably would have done, but the buck has to stop somewhere. Good for that MT...
Anybody know of companies hiring that aren't advertising? nm
 
Any companies hiring IC that use the VoiceWave Player,
and pays 10 cpl minimum.   Thanks.
Companies that use Dictaphone EXT and are hiring?? Any suggestions??
I like working on this system and I need a job!! Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Know of any good companies hiring PT Radiology? (nm)

Doesnt it seem like there arent many companies hiring right now. nm
:
Some companies are constantly hiring and training; therefore

the old faithful MT's are left with the yuk so that the new MT's can be training on the not-so-yuky dictators, then comes along another MT to train, and on and on the cycle goes.


The company I am with stated 35 percent ESL's, but that is totally impossible, unless I am getting the whole 65 percent ESL's. There just does not seem to be any consistency with regards to work flow in pools. That is what I have observed. I guess I should get my own doctors/accounts in order to make that happen, right?


Any companies hiring part-time?
I need flexibility.  Willing to do a certain number of lines every pay period.  I started with MedScribe of NJ and already they run out of work and seem to be dodging my emails about a secondary account.  Afraid I made a bad choice.....
Any companies hiring with BCBS as the insurance?
If there are, do they pay well? By well I mean 9-10 cpl.
Are there any companies who offer health benefits to part time employees?
Need insurance.
Companies are hardly offer FT employees any decent benefits so I think is going to be rare to find
them for PT employees. I would love that too, unfortunately, I work too much just to get below average benefits. Best of luck in your search. Honestly, I think the only place you'll find benefits for part-timers is going in-house at a hospital.
Any companies hiring for 300 lines a day and very flexible with hours? SM

I am looking to work for a company who is looking for some overflow help, 300 lines a day.  I am willing to give and take a little in regards to the work schedule.  If some days there is not enough to get 300 lines that is fine and if some days there is an abundance of work and you may require more from me, that is fine also.


I would love to find a company who uses a transcription-friendly software like DocQScribe (not sure of spelling) or Inscribe.  I am also looking for a flexible schedule, where I can just hop on throughout the day and transcribe.


Does anybody know of such a company?  I would be more than grateful to hear of any.


Thanks so much!!!!


Because of the shortage of work, we don't want our companies hiring more people. nm

Anyone else feel that these companies that are hiring should hire more recruiters?
So perhaps we'd hear something back within a reasonable amount of time!
