There was about a 2 second hesitation and then they said yes we can do that.

I've interviewed with several companies and none have asked for

SSN, birthdate, or any credit information.   Unless you are in a position where you handle money I don't see that your credit history is anyone's business.  I guess they could run it when you provided your SSN for tax purposes, but I would certainly not provide SSN before I had a job. 


I've asked, and I have checked myself - (sm)
when there is no lag time on I-chart, usually early morning, typed normal template, and it did count.  I also asked and we do get paid for everything except headers and footers.
Thank you for the offer but I've decided

I just don't have a good feeling about this.  I typed over 5000 lines already and haven't been paid and no communication when I will be paid.  I sent all my personal information, soc. sec #, banking info to a recruiter who now is not answering my emails - this makes me feel very uneasy.  I haven't received your emails, so no I don't think I'm on your team.  The person who trained me said she was my team leader and that's the last I heard from her. 


Good luck to you.  I just don't feel comfortable with any of this, and would rather move on now than wait around and get burnt later.  Thanks again.


If they've asked you to resign, you shouldn't be using
them as a reference anyway. They obviously won't have anything nice to say about you. Cripes, I couldn't make the line count there either so you're in good company! They kept bouncing me around on all their stupid ESL accounts with a new account every week and different specs to remember. I never had a dictator more than once there except for the worst of the worst as everyone else cherry picked.

I would quit and find another job without using them as a reference. Then again, you can let them fire you and collect unemployment. You need to decide which one to do right now. Find another job ASAP or collect unemployment.
I've asked repeatedly for a secondary account. nm
 
They've all said Woburn, Mass when I asked...same time zone as me grrrr! nm

Well, you asked about companies and said you were wannabe.

I haven't asked about any other companies

I am quite happy where I am at.  I don't know where you get that as we don't even have screen names to go by


Incentives Which Companies Offer Them?
and which companies used to offer them but are changing their policy now?
Most companies in any business do not offer
benefits for part-time employees.   They still have to honor any accrued PTO earned up to this point though. 
Any companies offer bennies for
nm
Some companies offer incentive...
pay in the form of higher rates when you go over their required number of lines...not sure how it works exactly, but know that some companies do offer that.
Companies that offer weekly pay?
Which MT companies pay by the week?
Comparing a few companies, it seems OSI has a lot to offer!
Whatcha think?
I asked about these 2 companies a couple of weeks ago, just not
about rad, and I was told to go with Keystrokes.   Both companies seem to have 90+% positive comments, though I have seen more with rad about KS. 
OP asked for a list of companies that DO offshore (sm)
Inside the post she asked to start a second list of companies who keep work here in the USA.  I understood the post, and was merely listing Keystrokes as someone who does NOT offshore to go on the second list of companies that keeps work here.  KS does NOT offshore and they never will.
They asked for a background check but most companies do, don't they?
They asked for $55 for my background check. I have tried to search, Google, ect, and I can't find anything about them except more job listings. Any advice at all for a struggling newbie?
What companies offer FLEXIBLE schedules for
full time employees?  I am willing to work the hours required for full time status, but I am in college too and I have to have the flexibility - my schedule changes every semester.  Can anybody point me to ANY good companies who let you work whenever you want as long as you get your hours in?  And I am not interested in IC - only working as an employee.  Thanks!
Which companies offer a matching 401K? nm

What companies offer internship programs?
Please post.  TIA
I think most companies offer direct deposit since they may
have MTs all over the U.S.  Some companies charge you for DD, some don't.  Some companies still mail checks, though will overnight it at your expense.   I think the companies that mail checks is a fairly small number. 
Which companies offer a 12-hour window to

What companies offer ASR/voice recognition??

Besides DSG and possibly Precyse?


Thanks in advance!


What companies offer a 12-hour window?

I would like to know what companies offer a 12-hour window.  I ask if anyone that knows of any will please let me know.


Thank you so much for your time,

What companies offer employee status?

I'm needing to get health insurance through work and wanted to know what companies offer this.  I'd prefer a company that required 1000 lines or less per shift if that is possible.  The line rate really isn't that important as my main concern would be a good family health plan. 


Any leads are appreciated!  Thanks.


Do any companies offer insurance that covers IVF? sm

Does anyone happen to know if any companies offer insurance that covers IVF?  I have been in this business for nearly a decade and have been doing QA for the last 4, but I would take a job right now with just about anyone as long as they offered insurance that covered IVF.  It is so expensive out of pocket, and I really need the coverage.  I have even been considering taking a job out of the transcription industry to get this coverage.  So, I guess if anyone knows anywhere at all I can get this coverage.. please help!!!  I am unfortunately in a state where this coverage is not mandated... so it is very hard to come by... :(


I am not sure if this was the right board... but I thought it was worth a shot... :P


Are there any companies that offer part-time
employee status?  I am looking to work certain days of the week, but I'd like part-time employee status?  Is there anyone that is currently in that type of situation that could steer me in the right direction?  I have a lot experience and am very reliable.  Thanks in advance for any help in this regard.  I appreciate my fellow MTs and their opinions count in my book. 
Does anyone know of any good companies that offer IC status and little ASR?
I'm working for MQ right now as flexible part-time but thinking I want to go back to IC status.  I just have this feeling that things aren't going to be as flexible as they used to be.  That and I'm sick of all the ASR and getting paid crap!  Most of my work is ASR, I'm getting way more lines, but my paycheck is smaller!?!?!  Need flexibility and a decent paycheck!  Any input would be great from anybody!  I've worked only for MQ for 8 years and wondering if there would be anything better out there!
Maybe because not ALL companies post there. He/She just asked a simple question!

Any companies out there that offer the hospital benefits besides Diskriter
I currently work in-house a hospital but they do not have at-work positions and I would like ot work at home so I wondered if there were other companies and/hospitals that hire at-home MTs with full benefits....besides Diskriter as I have not heard a lot of good news about them and it makes me nervous to apply.
Are there any GOOD companies that offer IC status (and no weekends?) ??

I would really like to work a Monday through Friday job.  Plus, I prefer IC status.   Probably an impossible combo...


Thanks!


 


Yeah, and do any companies offer PTO for part time?
TIA
Can anyone recommend companies that offer IC status, part time?

Any good ones out there for IC's?  Part time?


Does Spheris offer IC status?


Any help appreciated!


Any companies offer QA/Editor jobs (employee status)
I currently work as an Editor (IC) for a company that pays a rather low hourly rate ($12). I can only be considered for an increase after working 6 months if I average 300+ lines an hour(to $14). Compound this with the fact that there is usually no work.

I find it impossible to do more than 300 lines an hour while providing feedback therefore, I will never get a raise! I am looking to work for a company as an employee who pays well (hourly) whether there is work or not. I'm very concerned about not having enough work to meet my financial obligations.
Are there ANY companies out there that actually offer decent family medical coverage??
Some are just downright ridiculous amounts. Right now, I am with a company that offers decent single coverage but the family is like $750 a month and I cannot just work for insurance. There has to be something left over to like....eat on... or pay bills. Any suggestions out there. I do have over 13 years of experience.
Any companies offer health insurance for part time?

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.
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.
Companies w/Escription accounts that offer affordable family insurance??
I realize that affordable is subjective so whatever information anyone can give woudl be appreciated. The majority of Escription accounts offer IC only. Thanks
Any companies offer part-timers chance to buy into group insurance? need coverage ....

I've been looking at prices for solo medical insurance and while I can probably afford some coverage, I'm feeling rather paranoid about having insurance canceled if I actually get sick -- I'm fairly ignorant about what protections may have been passed and may just be responding to other people's horror stories.


 


Anyway, I'm not entirely sure I want to work full time for any of the nationals ... they seem to have gotten awfully rigid wrt daily line counts within certain fixed hours ... some days I'm simply creaky and hate feeling pressured ... so part time to start seems more reasonable than jumping in with both feet.  Any infor or recommendations appreciated ... 


Thanks!


Which companies offer PTO for part time employee status, along with contributing 401K, shift....sm
differentials, and incentive based pay plan?  I think I covered it all.  Mostly looking for PTO as a part time employee.  Thanks for your replies.
I've had to do this for several companies
I have forgotten the number of the form employers have to have signed stating you are a US citizen, but part of the form requires proof such as DL or SS...other types of ID are accepted. I have submitted a copy of my passport in lieu of my DL (in the middle of moving and DL did not have correct home address). This is a federal law, so it isn't anything unusual about the company you are going to be working for.
I can think of a few companies I've been with that

I've seen positive comments about many companies on here!
That's how I ended up where I did, from positive leads on this board regarding several companies that I was interested in!

OSI, however, was not one of them. No thanks. I'll do my own work, not have it shipped out to Punjab ro 5 bucks a day.
