The deposit for the equipment is $250, but like stated before payments are in installments. $25 to $35 per pay period. You should try them. They are a good company to work for. No underlying discrepancies occur there.

With regard to your last sentence (sm)
I bet I can guess who is the scammer and who you are working for now. You are right on both counts - 
In regard to SmartMed
what is the eSmartMed curriculum about? Has anyone taken the curriculum courses and gone through the internship, and then hired by them? I am curious about this.
Also KS Question in this regard...(sm)
It is my understanding KS does not pay shift differential, bonuses for working on days off, etc. In other words, if you are already making the maximum lines per day that you can, there is no real incentive to work days off, etc. I may be wrong about this, so it would be helpful if a KS person could confirm/deny this. Have they ever had an incentive program in the past but it didn't work out? Not trying to cause any problems here, just interested....
With regard to insurance premiums, sm
Who would you say has the best insurance to offer, at a reasonable price. I am currently paying about $500 for family coverage per month; that does not include dental and vision. It is probably another 100 a month.
Also, what companies out there provide the equipment; including computer and software?
With regard to that on-site training
Does SS pay for travel expenses, including lodging, meals, etc? Or does the MT have to pay out of pocket?
Seeking info regard DaVenture
sorry about my mistake...guess I should pay more attention to how I spell company names...they just might hold it against me!!!!!
Except - if things change with regard to offshoring,
hiring an American union member may be the most cost-effective way to go.
Making offshoring undesirable and EXPENSIVE should also be on MTs' agendas, this coming year.
Regard CC Transcription, Carol Joyce...sm
She has promptly paid my invoice. This matter is closed by me. Please email CC Transcription if you have any questions or problems with anything. I am no longer an IC with her company and if anyone has any questions, please contact the company. Thank you.
Feeling clueless in regard to MT platforms such as Extext, etc. sm
I have always worked with MS Word and WordPerfect. Had my own clients for many years, as well as working for MTSO as an IC. I have never worked on a transcription platform such Extext or any of the other common platforms. I am well versed in working digitally with FTP, TASP, etc. I currently work for a service and continue to work strictly in MS Word and FTP transfer. I worry about this lack of experience with these platforms What can I do to educate myself in the event I choose to go with a large national who uses a MT platform? Quite honestly, I have never even used a shortcut program other than auto correct in MS Word because I have very, very few repetitive dictations, as I type many different specialties and doctors, who each has their own style and format required (mainly teaching and research hospital) Thanks for any ideas.
I can't remember where I first heard this line, but with regard to AHDI.... sm
Remember, the court-appointed psychiatrist is not your friend.
What is their policy with regard to weekend work, and do they supply equipment?
Thanks.
The long rant was in regard to Cassie on Guiding Light.

How much is deposit?TIA NM

$300 deposit is exactly
the reason I didn't accept their offer. Signing an agreement is sufficient IMO
Now there is a $300 deposit. nm

Deposit
Still with Webmedx but took forever when I left Spheris! It did come, though - guess it had to go through the channels.
Regarding Deposit
There are no rental fees, only a deposit. This deposit is returned upon receipt of a working computer.
Deposit
I am not sure how long it will take, as the computers are normally shipped ground and may have been delayed because of the holidays. Contact the office and verify they have received the computer. At that time, they can also give you a status on the deposit.
deposit
It took longer for mine because I had moved and the address was not updated. But, from what the paperwork said, the check was sent within a week of receiving it. It took me 8 weeks to get it because of the wrong address. Hope this helps! :)
No there's no deposit. nm

It's a DEPOSIT
It is refundable when/if you leave the company. It is for the whole computer to include the tower, monitor, keyboard, mouse, software and footpedal.
Yes they do, for a deposit fee. NM

How much was the deposit?
all about the deposit, and 9 months later I still don't have it back! I'll be calling them first thing in the morning.
$300 deposit and $50 per pay?
Who pays to work for a company? That's ridiculous. There are plenty of companies out there that don't make you rent their equipment. They probably own that equipment and software free and clear. Think about how much money they are making off each Transcriptionist just for using their equipment.
Sorry to vent but this is one of my pet peeves. Without transcriptionists, they wouldn't be making any money at all. Greedy, greedy, greedy.
I have direct deposit.
I love the platform. It is proprietary software but very VERY user friendly. The staff is great and I really do enjoy it here. And I am serious -- make your own opinion. One or 2 bad apples don't outweigh a couple of hundred happy campers. Our insurance is great -- there is sick leave, holiday, PTO .. it's pretty dang good.
Direct deposit. SM
I just filled out a form for my bank on Monday to have another type of payment set up for direct deposit. So, there's obviously something very, very wrong here.
Good luck.
They pay be direct deposit
Good luck with getting the phone answered. Does their manager not have a number to call?
Yes, they do have direct deposit. nm

Direct deposit
She has direct deposit now. I even got paid a few days early last week.
No direct deposit
Today is payday and direct deposit not there, still waiting for reason. Apparently ADP problem, not TTS, but still!
DIRECT DEPOSIT`
I DID sign up for direct deposit. However, they lost all of my paperwork and paid me as a vendor!! NOT good!!!
Direct deposit
I live 20 miles from them, and it took 4 to 5 days to get my check. The postmark was a timely manner. A lot just depends on the volume of mail going from whereever they mail the checks from.
They just did start direct deposit for IC's about a month or 2 ago. I LOVE IT!!!!
I have direct deposit
My pay is in my account every other Saturday bright and early. They have never been late and never messed up my pay. I think if you don't have DD it arrives the middle of the week.
Correct. It is a deposit. -- nm

I had to pay $300 deposit, they take $50 out of each paycheck, sm
it is supposed to be refundable
The deposit is in $50 increments, too. sm
After seeing some of the posts today on the board, I just don't understand some MTs. They come on here complaining about their company for various reasons. Then, when they are told about actual GREAT companies, they seem to whine about a deposit or state things that are totally not true about a company they know nothing about.
I have been with Axolotl for 2 years. During this time frame, I can never complain about being without compensation or really lack of work. They pay great, their benefits are great, the platform is great and management is great.
So, if any MTs are looking for that kind of company, then you should look at Axolotl or you can just be content with your situation and not complain about it.
Direct Deposit?
Can you get your money direct deposited? That's what I do, works great.
You will be charged more than your deposit
The software on a computer is more than the deposit itself.
Computer deposit
This is not a deposit, it is an ongoing monthly charge to use their equipment.
Do they do direct deposit? nm

Direct Deposit
I don't know what's going on either. Mine is ALWAYS in the bank on Friday morning, however, when I banked at another bank before this one it was always in there on Saturday morning. This has got me confused. Seems like they would at least have let us know. Hope I don't have some stuff bouncing. I live from payday to payday with as many kids as I have.
I got my direct deposit sm
It was there when I just checked it this morning. Just thought I would give you guys the heads up.
DD's usually go in after 7 a.m. on the day of deposit; please check again.

JLG Direct Deposit
Has anyone gotten a straight answer about direct deposit, if/when it will be started again?
Don't they have direct deposit?
.
direct deposit
Like someone stated, it does take a cycle or two for the DD to happen. You probably will get a paper check in the mail. With any job that I have had, it takes 2 weeks or more to get the first check. Sometimes the company will hold the first pay check and then you will get paid during the next pay cycle for the first 2 weeks that you worked. Just call before making any hasty judgments. Put on the board the company name and ask other MTs, that work at the same company, if they have had problems with getting paid. You are not putting your name on the board, just asking a general question-- this way, you can see if the company has problems with paying on time. Many MTs put info like this on this board and it is very helpful in determining what is a good company to work for.
My deposit was in this morning
When did you send your line count to invoices?
I'm not a cheerleader, I just think the good things should be mentioned as well as the bad.
Direct Deposit and IC
The company I work for just announced that it is unethical business practice to direct deposit paychecks for independent contractors, so they will start mailing us our paychecks which will take a minimum of 2 weeks to get. Where has anyone heard of such a thing??? 
is this for rent or a deposit sm
on tis equipment. If this is a deposit I assume you get your money back if you leave? If so what are they charging for month for rent?
Yes They have direct deposit. nm
