Can you tell me how long you have to wait before you qualify for insurance?
Thanks, and can I ask how many lines you do weekly (average) on their accounts? I noticed it has varied for me among diffent companies.
You still qualify for holiday pay as long as you sm
tried to work and have NSA messages. Ask your STM, just to verify. S/he should tell you that you'll still get the holiday pay b/c it isn't your fault that you're out of work.
I would get fired.. you would qualify for unemployement. If you quit, then you would not qualify..
As far as using them a reference, I would not worry about that.. From my experience, I have hardly had any potential employers check my references or when they did I just gave them the heads up about my version of what happened. Most are thankful of the honest as not every company is a fit for everyone. I doubt that would hold it against you.
Does anyone know how long it takes to get (sm)
equipment deposit of $300 back from Spheris once you return their equipment? I don't know who to contact. All I get is a voice mail without a return call. Thank you.
Anyone know how long it takes to

get test results back from Precyse Solutions. Are they as good as their website claims?


 


Anyone know how long it takes
quitting Spheris?  Thanks!
Need a company that takes out taxes and has insurance
I can't be an independent contractor because my husband is self employed.  One of us needs to pay for taxes and insurance.  Anybody know of some companies that do this that I could check out?
let's see how long it takes for THIS to get pulled

we have actually been told in the past to not post about them -- it's THAT BAD.  Womanizing horrible ignorant piece of crap company that doesn't give a rip about you.  If you like being treated like an idiot -- go for it!


 


Sometimes takes twice as long to edit?
I just finished my first hour of VRing and I did 561 lines, that is at 4 cents a line and that equals to over $22 for that hour. I could never straight transcribe that many lines in 1 hour.
Yes, 6 cpl is low but three years is NOT a lot of experience. It takes that long to become sm
semi-proficient and we look for at least 5 years because of that. I would not go higher than 7 cpl with only three years experience and I think this is starting to be the norm.

Think of other fields ... plumbing apprentices, electrician apprentices, printing apprentices, etc. It takes 5 years to be a journeyman. They start at $8.00/hour and move to cap which is around $30/hour but it takes 10 years to get there.

Even teachers ... it takes 5-10 years to get top pay.

Any field.
Depends on how long it takes to get your ID from the facility. SM
Once that happens, they get you installed and going pretty quickly.

You can probably call them about the Lanier unit to see if they have any to rent to own.

When I worked with them, the insurance was very expensive and not very good. They have promised to get better, but that has been going on for a long, long time.
Does anyone know how long it takes to get the computer deposit SM
back after returning the computer? Thanks.
Anyone know how long it takes to get contacted by Precyse after testing?

Any idea how long it takes to hear from All Type? sm

I've submitted my resume for their QA position, and I haven't heard anything back yet. I was wondering if this could be due to the convention in Boston, or is this just the new trend in the application process? I've also submitted my resume to other companies, and there have been quite a few who haven't given even a short reply.


I know it's not because of a lack of experience, because I've been doing MT for over 15 years and QA for over 5. Any ideas of a great place to send my resume?


Do you know how long it typically takes them to respond to resumes sent in?

After testing for First Choice, can anyone tell me how long it takes to hear back? nm

I typed on a line that long way back when. Would NEVER do it again. Takes forever

Recently tested for MxSecure and just wondering if anyone can tell me how long it usually takes (sm)

to hear back from them.  I felt like I did pretty good on the test, but I was just wondering if it usually takes a while for them to get back to you?


TIA!



Tested with TT last week. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for them to response back.
I need a job...yesterday... I've been applying like crazy but cannot find anything worth taking.  I'm getting pretty desperate but still not enough to take 3 cpl for VR but check back next week LOL
Anyone know how long it takes to hear back from Prescyse after taking the test?
Will they get back to you?
Anyone that applied with Kathy Kirby hear anything yet? I am wondering how long it takes to hear a
response back
New insurance, huh? How long have they
been dangling the new insurance carrot for?  Two or three years now?
Long ago, an employer said we'd get insurance (sm)
and I started paying into it. But I never got any info, & was too young & dumb to follow up on it. About 7 or 8 months later I asked about it, and employer told me you have no insurance. When I said then I wanted the money back I'd been paying into it every month, she threatened to fire me over it. All I wanted was what was rightfully mine - either the money or the insurance. I later quit, but filed a claim with the state's LABOR BOARD, and not only won the suit & got my money back, but put her out of business as well.
How long does it take for Diskriter insurance to take
I'm talking about health insurance for Diskriter employees, not their hospital accounts.
As long as you don't need health insurance through them
The insurance is quite pricey.
Thanks..do you know what the deductibles are and how long before your eligible for insurance? Thanks

Transtech....how long of a wait for insurance?

Transcend...how long of a wait for insurance?

Ha! There was a spoof on SNL a long time ago, something like Dave's insurance. sm
I've been burned by insurance companies before, so I understand.

You might want to check it out because I don't think KS is offering benefits any longer, I believe after the first of the year they went to IC status only.  But it could be a case-by-case basis, who knows.


I work for TransHealth and they have pretty good benefits, medical, life, dental and vision, PTO, sick days, and paid holidays, and direct deposit, and they do not hold anything back or do you have to wait to get paid like you do with some companies you have to wait a month before you get your first paycheck, or 3 weeks, with TH, I was paid like 10 days later for training, as well as, my money was in the bank when they said it was going to be there.  I like TH very much, nice company to work, for me.  TH is looking for MTs and I think they had a QA opening as well.  I would apply to TH if you need benefits.  Mine are very inexpensive, and there was no waiting period either, I started like September 15th, and my insurance was in effect on October 1st. 


Keystrokes insurance

Can someone give me details on the type and price of insurance available at Keystrokes.  Am thinking of applying with them in the near future but need insurance info as that would make my decision for me.  Price for family or employee/spouse, office visits covered with copay, prescriptions, etc.


Thanks for any information you may be able to give me.


 


 


Keystrokes Insurance
Has there been any change in Keystrokes health insurance yet? I need to know if they have gotten new coverage, how much it costs and how long does it take to get on it. Thanks for any info.
Keystrokes insurance
I was wondering if anyone who works for Keystrokes can email me privately or over this forum as to what their insurance costs per month.  Also, how is the coverage, etc?  Thanks!
Keystrokes insurance

This company's actions in this matter are simply disgraceful.  I was made to feel that I was the ONLY one in the company distressed over the inadequate insurance offerings.  When I received the AFLAC brochures, I trashed them.  Supplemental insurance is useless to those without comprehensive primary coverage.  Their excuses get more creative each time I inquire (i.e., The reason we can't get better coverage is because most of our employees are women...; most of our employees are married and covered already so they don't even CARE about insurance...; yada yada yada...).


So...while they continue to explore the options, and promise us weekly that things are almost finalized, many of us are just hoping to stay well.  In 2007 I was told that the only oustanding issue was whether office visits would cost $20 or $30.  Shame on them.


I'm at least relieved to know I'm not alone here.


Keystrokes Insurance
Has anybody heard if there is any chance that we will be offered more affordable insurance? I love this company, but the insurance rates are killing me.

I don't get their insurance because my husband has better insurance so can't tell you much else...Hope that helps :)
Keystrokes insurance
Can anyone working for Keystrokes tell me how their insurance coverage is, what it costs and the deductible. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Keystrokes insurance
Please, I didn't mean to start another war. I just wanted to know about the cost of their insurance. Anyone working there have an answer to my question? I would really appreciate this as it will decide whether I even go through their testing process. Any useful information? Thanks
Just found out I have to buy error/omission insurance to remain IC. So long MDI.

TransTech and Keystrokes insurance
Can anyone tell me who carries the major medical with these companies?  Thinking of applying with both companies but want to know who they have their major medical with before I apply.  TIA
Keystrokes - Health Insurance
I think I remember that Keystrokes is supposed to be getting new health insurance that will be less expensive.  Can any Keystrokes employees tell me what is going on with that?  Do you have it yet?  How much is it a month?  I am considering a job at Keystrokes but I need the health insurance benefit, preferably low cost.  Thanks for replying.
What about Keystrokes insurance, is it reasonable?

Did Keystrokes ever get the new health insurance? NM

Just wondering.


Keystrokes Health Insurance
For single coverage:
$202 a month with $2500 deductible.

$251.30 a month with $1000 deductible
Keystrokes insurance vs mine
I just saw the post below on Keystrokes insurance. Count you blessings guys. My company's health insurance is only around $100/pay, family $900, but get this. The deductible is $5000 single/$10,000 for family, and if you have family coverage, the $10,000 must be met before anyone is eligible for coverage. This company does not really expect anyone to buy this insurance. This is insane. You are better off just to pay your own way, and take your chances. I pay $20 a month on my hospital bill, and there is nothing they can do as long as I am making payments. I don't know what else to do. I have lots of health issues and worry every day.

How long have you been with Keystrokes and why are you looking for another job? sm
I was just re-hired there and consider myself lucky. Did something happen to you or do you have a bad account or team lead?
Regarding Keystrokes, a little long...sm

First and foremost, I am NOT in management with Keystrokes.  I am simply a MT who was recently hired.  Because I am not a well person and suffer from a painful medical condition and other underlying conditions, I was unable to start working my assigned schedule.  I explained this to my supervisors.  I just knew that because I had such the awful flare of this autoimmune disorder, they would not be able to hold this position for me.  Well, I explained everything to my supervisors, account managers, etc....and guess what.....I still have my job, it may not be as a full time employee, but they understood and still giving me a chance and offered me options of working. 


I had read for so long some of the negative thihgs about this company and the people, I will admit, those posts made me veer away from applying with them.  Some companies will NOT even take on an MT who suffers from a condition such as mine. 


I admit, I did have bad experiences in the past with a few companies, but I would never really post about them, I would just take it as a lesson learned. 


I know that a lot of us have had these bad experiences, but not all companies are the same.  This place is working with me, they are giving me time to recuperate and get better and my job is still there for me.  From the people I have been dealing with, they were nothing but nice to me, even the owner. 


I just felt I had to post this.  Of course, not everyone will agree with me about the company, but I don't expect that.  I just felt I needed to post this to let people know that many things you read, do not always hold the full truth.


Thanks for reading...(scuse the typos)


Is Keystrokes the beneficiary for the life insurance they pay for?
If so, I'd be a bit careful
Welcome to Keystrokes :-) I have single coverage on the insurance sm

so I cannot really answer your question about the family plan, but no one had responded, so I at least wanted to say hello.  I have medical ($1000 deductible), vision, and dental for $129.86 per pay period for single coverage.  I'm glad you cleared that up about the license thing because that threw me!  (smile).


I do not know what the percentage of ESLs is on my acccount.  It is a Meditech/C-phone count, and the lines are not really difficult to obtain.  The only problem I have is me ... can't seem to find my focus lately.  :(


Good luck!
