They do provide a computer...
don't know about their insurance, tho.
Does MDI-MD provide a computer? NM

I am not sure if they provide a computer...
but they do provide the software that you will need. They are an AWESOME company to work for, at least that has been my experience (I am currently employed with them on the dictaphone platform), and they do offer medical/dental/vision, sick pay, vacation pay, holiday pay, and maternity leave. It is based on your line count x the minimum lines they require per week then divided by 40 hours, to come up with your hourly pay...for example, if your line count is 0.6/per line (just a figure I am throwing out to give you an idea), then multiply that by 5000 lines (which is the minimum lines required per week) equals $300/wk divided by 40 hours equals $7.50 per hour. That is what your holiday (+ lines for the day if you work....so double time of sorts), vacation, sick leave, maternity leave, etc. would be based on...hope this makes sense. (Sorry if any typos, it is late, and I am tired but wanted to reply....I hope I have at least helped!)
Yes, they provide computer.... sm

When I got pregnant, this was with a different company and a different insurance plan (not transcription related) 8 years ago, but I did get maternity leave that was paid.  I don't think our insurance at Webmedx has maternity leave, but it does have short-term and if you are out of work 14 days that kicks in, so that may apply for maternity leave as you take FMLA, I think.  I am not totally sure, though, on our insurance or how short term disability works, but that is what I was told before when I inquired.  If out of work 14 days, short-term kicks in at a percentage of your regular pay.  You can get more details when you call.  :)  Good luck to you.  Just know that when you search you will find what you want.  Hang in there. 


They provide computer, but there is no sm
rental fee for it. I think there may be a deposit tho. Not sure about that.
Yes they provide computer - sm

and you have to use theirs.  It's a great deal though, you get a brand new Dell computer with flat screen monitor, foot pedal, etc.  It's strictly for work, nothing else can be loaded on it and no one else can use it.  Helps to make sure you are maintaining a HIPAA environment and they provide full 24/7 tech support - it breaks - they FedEx or UPS a new one ASAP.  No rental charge either - I think there may be a deposit now though.  It comes already loaded with all the software and VPN client stuff.

Companies that provide a computer

Good Day,


 


Hope some of you are willing to help me out.  I am running out of Unemployment Benefits and need to start applying for jobs again.  Tried a few months back, but gave up after not receiving any decent, living-wage offers.  Now my computer is on its last leg, throwing another obstacle into my job-search efforts.


 


Would anyone working for a company that still provides a computer to full-time employee MTs please provide the company name and, if you know, what they charge for computer rental? 


 


I did research this in the archives, but there was no current information, and I had previously read a few times that more and more companies are stopping that practice and requiring MTs to provide their own computers.  In my case, that is the old the chicken or the egg problem.  My personal computer is old and does not meet some company's hardware requirements.  I cannot get a decent job without a new computer, but I cannot pay for a new computer unless I have a decent job. 


 


If anyone would care to share any good job openings, that would also be great.  LOL 


 


Any help is sincerely appreciated. 


 


Thank you in advance.

What good companies provide computer, etc. without charge for that equipment?

Do you know of any companies that provide computer, with or without cost to the MT?

Have worked for Medware and now at Precyse.(sm)

Medware turned out to be a really bad place to work, changes taking place there all the time and NOT good ones.  I am very pleased with everything at Precyse.  Great benefits.  Great platform.  Great people at Precyse, love working with them.

I wanted to use my own computer and get rid of the RENT on TT computer, but Vista is not compatible.
Good way to make them money.  Not have to upgrade software so that Vista is compatible with Vista.  Huh?
One more computer question. I got my computer today and
trying to set it up.  Man unpacking the box and setting everything up is a major undertaking; more so for me because I used a laptop before and my desk isn't tower friendly.   Anyway, no info came with the tower and I don't yet have the password to get in (paperwork says to call M-F).  Is the tower WiFi compatible?   My DSL is hooked to a different computer and I wanted to know if I can setup new computer as WiFi or if I need to move modem to new computer and set other computer up as WiFi. 
MDI-MD (not FL) could provide what you need. :nm

Yes they do provide PCs
You must meet production goals which you have to do anyway. The pay is good with a lot of different types of incentives. My accounts are good with moderate to low ESLs and I'm not running out of work. I didn't need the computer but an MT I referred does use a TranTech PC. Overall great company, smart move on my part.
They provide everything.
They send you everything to include the tower, monitor and foot pedal.  You have access to technical support 24/7, as well as management and editors.

They provide everything
you need except your type expander.  You can request the dictionaries, and if they have any licenses, then the IT man will download it for you.  Otherwise you may have to provide your own.  I never had trouble with payment.  Good luck!
don't they provide equipment...sm
even if you are an SE. I know I worked as an SE for them before, and used their equipment.  So, why were you providing your own?
Yes...Thanks for any info you might provide. nm

Regarding benefits, they provide
health insurance, life insurance, and PTO. I am returning to KS after having left there a few months ago to go back to MQ. Big mistake, as we all know. When I was at KS from April to August, the benefits were okay, but I am told that as of Jan 1 they are going to be really good. They are changing insurance carriers to a much better company and are in the process of supposedly putting together a benefit package, which includes the former benefits of life insurance, health, PTO, etc as well as an incentive package. I start back with them on Oct 31 and I can't wait! I should have never left in the first place, but I guess we all make mistakes in this profession.
I think all companies should provide a PC...
With any other job in an office they don't say You'll have to buy your own computer! :)
They will provide the C-phone - sm
foot pedal and headset. You pay $15 each pay to lease the c-phone.
