Or dying of

Tell that to my dying fingers.

Sally, actually it is not dying out
I know several companies where it is indeed possible to make 50K a year and without killing one's self. And yes, those companies are highly selective, but they do exist and several of us work for them. I only say this so others will not think it is impossible. You have to not give up.
LOL! And I bet your *wonder* QA staff are dying to get off your team!
Funny, I was a QA manager too, and you probably took the crappy job I got rid of. LOLOLOL! I'm on a high horse? ha. That's funny...!
That is the darned truth. It's dying. Trying sm
to find the perfect company, just like the one from 1985 or 1995? They don't exist. THEY WENT BROKE. So quit trying and get the heck out now. There are so many careers out there that any MT is more than capable of pursuing.
She can get better help at Spheris, but this field is dying. We all need
NM
most companies are dying for even just warm bodies
most of the time if you suck, but are trying, they will keep you. They would rather pay you garbage to type at least SOMETHING than have the work sit. It's a pathetic business these days... sickly and pathetic
Which company has the best medical benefits?
I have been searching for the company with the best medical benefits. After I test with the company and get a job with benefits they always offer crap insurance and it is expensive! Is there such thing as good benefits while working from home? I have been an IC for the past 10 years and never opted for insurance with companies that do offer it with employee status. I have also checked into private insurance, but the deductibles seem high. Thanks for any help or advice!!!
Against. Dead/dying for MT now days for sure(30+ years MTing
.
Signed up for second session. Dying to hear what percentage of cut is. (sm)

Hopefully people will post as soon as they find out.  I know we are lucky to have been kept at the percentage we were.  MQ cut us 10% one year and then 10% again.  Have a feeling they are going to skip the gentle repeated insults and just hit us with 20 or 30% right off the bat.  I hope I am wrong.


Good luck to us all.


MD-IT Intelligent- Any new information on this company i.e. pay, benefits etc.
TIA
what company offers the best health benefits?

What company offers the best health benefits?


As far as:


waiting period before they start (I'm looking for 90 days or less),


how much they cost for yourself and dependents (I have myself +1 - spouse - can pay maybe $300/month out of paycheck at most),


PEC lookback period (preexisting condition - example - look back 3 months is better than 1 year),


pharmacy cost (I need a flat rate copay, not a percentage, with no yearly cap, and brand names and generics)


 


Anyone who has been happy or unhappy with their insurance through their work-at-home MT company, please share your experience and opinions. Thanks

WOULD LIKE TO FIND A COMPANY THAT HAS DECENT FAMILY INS. BENEFITS AND PTO
I have been working in-house at a hospital and would like to go home to work, but I am having a hard time finding a company out there that offers decent insurance benefits and PTO.. Any ideas are appreciated..
you must have mistaken this for another company; benefits start in 30 days
This person obviously has no clue
Is there a company who offers benefits to parttime employees?
Just curious
Nice company and benefits but production can be tricky.
nm
Yep..Now I feel stupid. Like one poster said, new company and they can afford benefits like that.
I should be shot, or the very least, a I'm Stupid sticker on my forehead.
Seeking company that offers good benefits including insurance.
Ideally, I'd like to find a company that offers medical insurance at a reasonable cost for family (under $500 a month) and a decent line count rate. Anyone have any ideas on this. Thanks.
Great company -- good benefits, average pay, easy-to-achieve sm

incentive tier, ExText platform, pay by direct deposit every 2 weeks, always on time.  The people in management seem to genuinely care about the employees, which is a nice plus.  I have been there since October and am very happy.  Of course, one man's paradise is another man's hell it seems at times, but it is a good fit for me.


 


Good luck! 


Can anyone provide a name of a good smaller company to work for that offers decent benefits..
I want to get away from the "nationals". I know there are smaller transcription companies out there looking for a good MT.. Hopefully someone will have some good advice for me.
Hourly QAers may be a dying breed, but cpl QAers are the up and coming thing
Of course, as offshore MTs and Editors learn and produce better quality, US cpl QAers will be the next dying breed.
TransTech for many reasons, good pay, stable company, good benefits
and flexible.
I have looked around the last 6 months and have found nothing better. Have turned down numerous jobs, and have finally decided to stay put. The better insurance plans were announced and even moreso than ever, I am staying put, and my paycheck is happy about that because it is getting better every day. Good luck to you.
Good company, great people, good benefits.
Affordable insurance. Good luck!
Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

Also looking into them. Do they have benefits?

TIA. 


How are the benefits and
do they pay according to experience, i.e. will they match what you are making elsewhere if they have more work than one can handle lately if one tests high with them? If you know, please tell.
DSG benefits
Quoted me at over $1000 per month for two people. Needless to say, did not take it!
Same here! What benefits?

? Benefits
What health insurance benefits does KS have? I have heard they are not paying anything toward it and it is very expensive.
Benefits
I just put in a call today as I am looking for benefits now as my husband was just laid off. I can take Unicare for $354 per month until January 1st when Blue Cross/Blue Shield kicks in. The cost on that is $256 per month (my share) as Keystrokes picks up 25% of the employee portion. Seems to be average as that is around what my husband paid at his old company.
Benefits
SAAAWEEET!!     I LOVE KEYSTROKES!!  Just when you think they were the best... THEY GET BETTER!!! 
No benefits necessary

How about FT with benefits?

Benefits
I think Cymed is worth looking at. They have a few different options and deductibles so you can try and find a fit with your needs. Also it is BC/BS, plus dental and vision. Not sure how their costs compare to others out there, but no matter where you go the cost of benefits has gone through the roof unless you can actually hook up with a hospital. Good luck.

PS - got many more benefits where I went
LOL - much, much better.
How about benefits?

Medical, PTO, etc.  TIA.


Benefits
Do they provide benefits?
Benefits
For health insurance, all the plans had fairly high deductibles. The lowest deductible and most expensive to the employee was $1500 up to $3000. Dental seemed to be basic. Also, they don't kick in until 1st of the month after your 90-day probationary period, assuming you are meeting your production. Didn't stay long enough to qualify.
FN benefits

I really don't see what ALL the hullabaloo is about regarding FutureNet and whether they offer this or that as far as benefits, DD or whatever.  As an independent contractor, if you have to get health insurance for yourself and dependents, look at the cost as a tax deduction for heaven's sake.


To be eligibile for DD, you have to CONSISTENTLY make 14K lines a pay period and I for one, would much RATHER pay the extra $25 and know that my check is going to get to me by 12 noon the next day. You will receive an email with the tracking # etc, the Thursday before.


Take into consideration too, that there are a LOT of services out there that do NOT offer benefits or direct deposit.  I have been in this business 25 years, and I for one, LOVE the flexibility of being able to work for a service when I want to, and not having to work someone's set schedule, just because of benefits or whatever.  It's a choice that YOU and only YOU can make.


 


 


No benefits. IC only. nm

Benefits
No more than anywhere now a days and definitely cheaper than trying to get them on your own. Benefits have gone through the roof pretty much everywhere.
benefits
The way I see it is I will pay nearly $400-500 out of every check for benefits? Is that true?
benefits
thats about right
Benefits
Where are you coming up with that figure? Is that for a full family?
benefits
Yes that's for a full family. I got that from some information I was given by them.
Benefits

Hi, I work there too and that's about right for a family plan, if my recollection is right. The insurance is not too bad for just the employee but when you add husb or kids it get up there, but then again it seems to be like that at most places nowdays.  I think their plan/coverage is pretty good though.  I have been lucky and have been covered by my husband's policy and the kids are grown now, so I don't need to buy the coverage, you can also buy disability/life ins plans, etc. Other benefits are paid days off, but that takes years to accrue that and extra pay on holidays, etc. (but everyone is required to work 4 hours on the holiday)  I have always worked partime at physicians office or else as an IC, so I never had benefits anywhere and have always worked 6-7 days a week and holidays as an IC (only time I could get caught up was on the holidays).  The only thing I benefit from now is the extra holiday pay, and they do have 401-K and match a limited amount which is nice.  Hope this helps.. talk to your contact person if you have questions, they can probably answer them in more detail.   Good luck.

Are there any companies that offer benefits that aren't a joke.  I have talked to a few offering insurance but the premiums are ridiculous, I could get just as cheap on my own.....
benefits
The benefits ARE good, but you definitely earn them. If ESLs don't make you crazy, you'll like it there. Me, after tearing my hair out for awhile, took a lower-paying job elsewhere with easier dictators and actually bring home more $$$ now, but not good benefits. It's a trade-off.
NO BENEFITS
There are no benefits at all at this time, but it is in the workings.

Does anyone know of a company who offers part-time benefits?


 


no benefits.
