but only match 3%.
 
they actually do match you up with sm
an account that meets your qualifications. don't think they aren't interested, this is normal protocol. I applied and didn't hear anything for about three weeks and then they hired me. They are not blowing you off. Hope that makes you feel better. H ang in there
OSi..4% match, 100% vested
nm
12 months and yes they match.
nm
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.
Happy New Year. May we all have happy home lives (sm)
and do whatever it takes to make our work lives work for us too. 
Right and told we should be happy we have jobs. Not too happy right now.

MDI Maryland HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY
THIS IS NOT MDI IN NY OR FL!!

I can't say enough nice things about this company; very flexible, you area a statutory employee. That means that they pay the employer portion of your SS. Great on time pay, tons of work. Do your lines and you are left alone! Expect to be responsible though. Pay for your phone; rent a Lanier or a C-phone if you don't have one; BayScribe platform. Anything that is a bit of an inconvenience is more than made up for. You will know to the minute how much you will make and how many lines you have typed. Check it out!

happy here
Positive experience for me. Two years later, still happy, still busy, still meeting 300+ lines an hour. To each his own... guess it's jump on Diskriter is crap band wagon again day. On any given day, one company or another is being ripped a new one on these sites.
Probably one of the best. I'm happy there.

Happy with QT and FCM!!! nm

Happy there......
I am very, very happy at OSi. I left a company where I had been a IC for over 8 years and went with OSi as an employee. I have had no regrets. I think some people say QA is snooty because they expect a job to be done right and often times it isn't. We have access to all reports typed on our accounts and to tell you the truth, it's amazing how some of these MTs got hired.

I love the platform, pay is always on time and often incentives create huge paychecks. They are very professional and very flexible. No cons as far as I can see.
That's cause we are happy!!
Why do you want to bash anyway,let's talk about good things
I am happy too
There are some that still like Transcend.  i understand that others have valid complaints, but not everyone there experiences the same issues.  Some of us are really telling the truth when they say they are happy.
Happy for you.
I hope you like your new job. I have been contemplating applying with them myself but worried about their flexibility.
YAY!!! I am so happy for you. Out of (sm)
all the places I have worked, they really are the best!! For many,many reasons!!
Yep and happy about it!
Yes I make 1 cent less than what FOCUS would hire me on for at their top pay. In exchange I get to work with an amazing company who treats me with respect, knows who i am, who my children are, listens to what i have to say and so much more. It is worth the cent to work for a great company.
Happy to Mad?
so have you changed your attitude about MQ? this is exactly what MQ doesn't want to happen -- MTs being able to find out what is going on in different offices, wage-wise and otherwise.
ARE YOU HAPPY THERE?
Can you be hired on as SE?
Happy.....
Sweetheart, you have no business releasing your venom on me. You are one with the mental health issue. If you were indeed a "Happy OSI'er," you would not care what anyone else thinks or says about that company.

The fact that you can get enraged so easily when other people express opinions contrary to your own tells me that you are indeed in need of a little Zoloft, Xanax, or maybe just a good dose of reality. The rest of the world doesn't have to agree with you about anything. It does not make us dysfunctional, depressed, unhappy, or stupid. It just means we see things differently.

You're in for a rough ride in life if you are get so upset about others' opinions.


very happy
Yes Cbay is still around and going strong, more work than I can handle lately. They do hire US MTs. Everyone knocks them for sending work overseas but what company doesn't these days? I am very happy with them and pay is on time every 2 weeks! They pay my bills so I really wouldn't care if they sent the work to the moon!
Is anyone happy...
Please leave some info on this board if you are happy working for OSI.  There is a lot of negative, but it may be some sour grapes too.  I would like to hear some good input about the company.  Thanks.
With OSi for about 3 yrs. Very happy now with
It is great working with true medical transcription professionals.

OSi is good for a laugh, though!
I am very happy with OSi
You will read a lot of negativity, but this is something that you will have to decide on your own.  I am very happy there.  Sure, they aren't perfect, but no company is.  Let me know if you want more information.
I'm happy as can be -
.
Happy because . . .
I have 2 good accounts with steady work, love BayScribe, like my team leader, and good pay that is always on time. I do agree with the above poster who says she feels they may be overhiring on some accounts to keep them in TAT. However, I haven't seen overstaffing on my accounts (yet)!
I'm happy!
Don't work on MANTIS but this company is really, really growing by leaps and bounds - even made the Fortune 500 top growing companies in the US. Great people (really nice) and a refreshing change from the Big Guys. Pay is generally $1.10 regular and $2.25 special - really nice accounts too. Check 'em out!
She's not alone. I'm happy there, too. sm
I'm FT and don't utiize the benefits, but I'm very happy at Spheris. My platform is easy to use, my supervisor is awesome, and the other girls are great. I don't have a hard time getting time off, and they pretty much leave me alone to do my work, but if I need help, they have terrific people at the help desk. Most Spheris employees are very happy here, but we just don't spend a lot of time of message boards.
Happy again
Wake up MTs. Change is good. Why is everyone so afraid to go somewhere else? If you are not happy, you can only make yourself happy. LEAVE. Do not wait for these nationals or other MT companies to make you happy. They won't. You must do it yourself. I'm happy after the change I made. You can be too. Just go for it. What do you have to lose?
Also very happy with MDI-MD nm

Happy as an IC

Very happy with QT! nm
xx
me too, happy

Another happy DSG MT!
So far, no complaints!
Happy at QT also

Happy with them
I go an 11 cent per 65-character line with spaces included job from them. Very flexible. The hiring process was a lot easier than going it on your own. I was VERY happy with my experience there...this was 2-1/2 years ago. Maybe things have changed. They get a one-time fee, not a portion of your line rate.
There are more than two happy at MDI but

Just because two of you have work does not discount that the rest of us do not.  I struggled to get 1000 lines yesterday, had to keep dialing back in scrounging for work.  And as others have said here, we have talked to Dorothy and MDI is aware that there is not enough work to go around.  Maybe you two have an account that they did not put too many MTs on.  Apparently on mine they did.  I have been on this account for many years and I have always had work until the last several months. 


I'm also happy there
Can't compare it to other companies as it is my first MT job, but I have been there almost a year and am quite happy. No desire to move anywhere else. Good training, and they attempt to communicate with their employees. Steady workload, benefits and pay reasonable.
I'm happy at JLG
Pay on time, tho by snail mail as they do not offer direct deposit. Account I am on is great with a low volume of ESLs. Great QA with samples provided, if requested. Flexibility, easy enough platform, not a lot of pt. demos.... I just LOVE it here.
happy, happy, joy, joy
Does anyone else find the endless e-mails showing how much work there is but to *have a geat day* annoying? How can I have a great day when I am struggling to meet my line counts because the work is so sparse?? Plus, e-mails to supervisors go unanswered yet again.
I am very happy with my job.
My paycheck, in my opinion, compensates me very well for my experience and my effort. I work hard, produce a quality job and have good production. My consistent reliability with my employer has paid off. I currently work for MQ.

Even the employer I recently left last summer was a great experience for me - that was Spheris.

I have had employers in the past that I was unhappy with but it mainly boiled down to some type of communication breakdown so that my expectations were not met.

I'm not the kind of person who bad mouths or exploits an employer, period. If I have problems with them, I handle that with the employer. I'm not interested in slamming anyone or any company. There are too many choices out there for any and all of us and I find it petty and small-minded to act in that manner.
