but only match 3%.

I used them and am very happy with the match they
made for me. 
they match up ppl with what services
they need...ie filing bankruptcy, they will link you with those resources. Lawyer referrals for what you need, not just a lawyer. If you use those services, you get a discount of one sort or another. Counseling, weight control, other life problems are free. Depends on what you need them for, but they are supposed to be pretty good. The hospital I work for has them for things like child care, elder care, cousneling, life matters, etc. Hope this helps.
I think it's just finding the right match....
I have worked for 3 different companies and currently work for two.  On one of the companies I make at least $20 per hour, sometimes closer to $25 and on my second job I make between $30 and $45 an hour.  I actually find myself dissapointed when I'm only making $20 and my husband tells me I'm crazy, that is good money to make at home.  I don't work 8 hours a day though, neither job even has the work to keep me busy a full 8 hours.  I work probably 5 straight typing hours per day.
Wondering about the 401k match - how much
is it acute care or radiology only?  I read an ad for clinic - do the benefits only apply to acute care and radiology or do you have full time clinic MTs as well?
I think you and Breitner would be a good match - EOM

are there any companies that match 401k? (nm)
?
My company matches 3%, others match more, but I have
not heard of an MT company that matches 100%.  I don't have medical insurance through my company because I don't like the company (BCBS) and the premium for family is nearly $800.00/mo.  
As a statutory employee, they take out FICA and match it. sm

Therefore, you do not have to file self-employment tax, like an IC.  You are still not an employee per se, in that you set up your own schedule/make your own hours.  You tell them how many lines you will do in a day, and every 2 months, you submit a schedule, telling them which days you will work.  


You have to have your own PC.  You can rent a C-phone from them, and some of the accounts are going to wav files, and I think the company provides the wav pedal for you. 


Hope this helps!


i read it again, and exper and job des dont match
/
Could you keep me posted on that. I have yet been able to find anyone to match what I get on Escript
which is 5 cpl for editing. The only ones I hear about her anwhere from 2-4.5 cpl (2-3 by the way is an insult).
They don't match 401K; 3 days PTO 1st year; 10 after that until...sm
5th year (I think, not sure) and then 15 days. NO THEY DO NOT HAVE A STEADY WORKLOAD. They are up to something/contracting work cheaply. We were all on OT last week and now have no work during, as has been said in other posts, peak flu and RSV season. It ain't all the effect of the economy. You can't trust them at all.

I am unsure how the health insurance stacks up, but vision and dental are cheap.
The pay doesn't match the knowledge level required! (s/m)
It seems like everyone wants years of experience, well-rounded knowledge of various specialties, perfect English & spelling, fast typist, yada-yada-yada. But the pay is a joke. And a regular 8-hour day/40-hour week? Forget it! Being paid on production leaves out the variability factor. (I'm on this board right now because I've been sitting here for an hour waiting for work from my employer!) So to make up the gaps, I put in 12+ hour days, and STILL need a second job. I've been MT-ing for 30 years, yet I can barely pay my rent.

And the problem starts with the hospitals & clinics who only care about the bottom line. They'll gladly pay to overstaff their facility with far too many overpaid, superfluous management personnel, but then get chintzy when it comes to their transcription needs. Yet they want perfectly done transcription, even with ESLs. So the MT companies have to bid low to get the account. And the people actually DOING the work get paid next-to-nothing.

I would like to see MT go back to being a good, solid middle-class job again, instead of the sweatshop labor it has become. Employers need to offer a true living wage in order to attract top MTs and retain them.
