I don't think I can wait that long!
I haven't talked to anyone from Amphion, but their web site info looks great, especially the make your own schedule and holidays being completely up to the MT.
How long to wait?
Recently I tested and passed with a national company that has had quite a few advertisements on this site recently.  I immediately received an e-mail saying I had passed the test and when would be a good time for a telephone interview, which I answered...that was last Tuesday and I haven't heard anything.  I'm sure their HR department is very busy, but how long should I wait to e-mail them again, or try to call?  I really need this job and it's a good fit for my experience (PT).  Don't want to be a pest, but don't want to fall through the cracks, either.  Thanks!
Gone too. Finally, after long wait.
Too much BS.  Either tons of emails, work, work, work for your incentive, not that you EVER see it in your paycheck.  Send emails and get your ticket, automatic response, and never an answer from anyone who should answer.  Pays promised one day and delivered 4 days later.  Done with it and glad to be leaving.  Poor management, poor communication, if any, and poor everything.  RUN.
Who can afford to wait that long?
No way would I take such a job - what happens if they NEVER get paid? You work for free, that's what.

It's not common at all - you'd be better of getting your own accounts!
How long to wait to start new job?
I was offered a new job Monday and sent in the completed paperwork as required right away via fax.  I got a welcome letter the same day.  I have heard nothing since and did email once thanking them for the position and indicated I was ready to start immediately.  Still, I have heard absolutely nothing since.  How long should I wait to actually get started?  I was told that they were growing and I could have as much work as I wanted.  Any advice?
Pay is strange with a LONG wait...nm

I know Heartland makes you wait that long.
nm
I wouldn't wait that long. If I cannot be on a regular
What are they paying, once a month? So, for the whole month of May, you draw pay on June 13th?

Not for me.

Can you tell me how long you have to wait before you qualify for insurance?
Thanks, and can I ask how many lines you do weekly (average) on their accounts? I noticed it has varied for me among diffent companies.
Call now. A week is certainly long enough to wait. nm

How long did you wait for training at Transcend?
Just wondering what the typical time frame is from install to training?
Transtech....how long of a wait for insurance?

Transcend...how long of a wait for insurance?

Wait...let me guess. Shapin right? Can go for long without mentioning them!
If they are making the $ it is either because of working round the clock or whizzing through with poor quality. I am thinking whizzing through because in past postings they are very busy with posting negative things here. I make 4 cpl and listen to everything as required. I do well, but to do it right and be thorough you would not make big $ at 1.5.
Anyone tested and heard back from DTS America. How long was your wait? nm

may be good now, wait until they Global your account, too. I left there long ago, happy I did. nm
.
I'd bet that you torture animals, too.
Oh my golly! Your personal vendetta against Transcend got too far down, so you felt obligated to start it up again in a separate thread? What in the world is WRONG with you?
Well I'm glad I didn't stick around for more torture
on the world's worst platform only to find there wasn't enough work anyway.  I only lasted 3 weeks before I flipped my lid.  They told me they really needed help on clinic though.  If you are on acute care, ask to switch. 
Maybe we should all form - nm
.
Nothing really...ASR is just MQ form of it.
Or at least as far as I know, but I've only done it at MQ...so I very well could be wrong:-)
We ought to form our own company LOL
MTs for MTs? Americans doing work for Americans? Contact them all and keep the accounts with the same Americans who have been doing the work. Okay, okay, nice fantasy, but it was fun.
A bit of gallows humor.
Just a form of advertising
Kind of like a Q&A. Like does so and so offer insurance A: Why yes they do very reasonable. Q: Any info on this company. A: Great company!! Smiley smiley tappy tappy feet. Get a room---- pleaseeeeee
If you file a form with the IRS
as an IC and think you should be classified as an employee, and they determine you have been an employee, are there tax/penalty obligations for the IC?
See Search box top of this form
you can type in Synernet and up comes other posts on company, I saw 7 cents a line, no spaces and 4 cents a line for editing with minumum lines requirments of 1600 straight typing and 2200 lines for editing.  Not for me.  Slave labor.
Please see response on main form (nm)

Go to your state's website and get the W4 form SM

for your state, fill it out and send it to Medware's HR department/payroll.  If they still don't take the taxes out, REPORT THEM TO YOUR STATE TREASURY.  The state will go after them and they will have to pay penalties.


By law, they HAVE to take state taxes out of your paycheck if you send the W4 to them.  They can't refuse or avoid it. 


I am in no way, shape or form trying to bash here.

I got the same form email today and

17 years experience here.


Who's going to give up the life they have now and try to form one?!!

1099 Form amount
Isn't the amount $600.00? If you make that amount or more then you must be sent a 1099 form? I do have records of all of my earnings that I made last year. I made a little over $3,000.00 with this company. It was not that much, but enough to report in.
When I was hired they sent a form letter saying
starting pay was 8 cpl - no exceptions.  They talked raise frequently but never got one, never got paid for OT, never got paid for holidays.  There was a problem a few months ago and pay was late as supposedly they didn't have money to meet total payroll, but I never had a problem with my check. 
MQ application form after interview

Needing a new job, I applied, tested and interviewed with MQ.  At the end of the interview, I was told there was one last thing I needed to do, which was to fill out another form.  An application similar to the screening application I had completed when I applied initially as I understand.  Well, I can't find it.  I've also called them twice about it and they said I had been sent an email about it with the link.  But, I have received no email about this and do not know where to find this form to complete.  I was hoping someone here would know.  If you do, please let me know.  Thank you in advance.


Sweetness. Let's form a posse.

Go to the medquist form for the date of 03/17/09
Top of page *Two factual Verifications: and under that is: Proof taken off internet. If you click on this you will see the article regarding MQ and SPI's new contract regarding sending 2 million lines per month to them. By 2011 they will be sending 6 million.
I worked form them as well and it was a terrible
the glowing reviews on here of late, and there are 2 reasons for it:  1. For the umpteeenth time, there is some MT out here who works for a different Landmark, and she always gets in on the PA Landmark thread and claims they are wonderful. 2. I honestly believe the posters who praise were 100% management or supervisors, as I know many MTs who worked for them - we all knew each other before - and not one had a good experience, not a single one. Personalities aside, they are a tiny overflow company, and they never have steady work for even part time.  So, nothing has changed, yet someone keeps lying on this board and acting like they are multiple people and how great the company is.  Its so sad that this continues on here. That's why to this day I don't listen to 1 single review of a company on here. If I read good reviews, I don't believe them. If I hear nothing, I figure its a safe bet, and that finally landed me a wonderful job.  But every single job that was praised on this board ended up being literal crap. So very sorry you had to learn the hard way, too. That company is a joke, though its not funny when its happening to you. Be lucky you got out as quick as you did.
How can you receive an email form your
company if your email is not typed exactly right? It will never be delivered into your inbox, but will go right back to the company, as 'not able to deliver.'


It's the adjective form calculous that modifies sm
cholecystitis.  Feel free to look it up.   Calculus is a noun. 
Please do not put your resume in the form of a medical report.
For starters, using patient's names is incorrect and you have yours all throughout that medical report.  I don't know who started this, but it is simply NOT professional and that resume will go very quickly in the dead resume bin.
time to form union, people
nm
P.S. - If your company has filed form SS-8 ask for a copy.
If they won't give it to you, see if you can get it from the IRS; I believe you can.

And, of course you can still file your own SS-8 even if the company has filed it. I'm not saying an MTSO would LIE on the form they file, but anyone can make a MISTAKE...
Please form a list of nonVR companies

It would be great to have all in 1 place companies which do not have VR (and they usually are all USA too).  I can only come up with 2 to start, but please add to the list.  This would certainly help out those who do not wish to take the leap at this time into that kind of technology.  Thanks for adding to the list.


1.  Keystrokes.  Very little VR, lots of straight typing.  No overseas.


2.  SoftScript.  I think all straight typing.  I do believe no overseas.


Please add to the list. It would be a helpful tool for many of us. Sorry I can't think of more, but then again, that is why I am creating this post. Thanks again.


 


I got one too. I turned them DOWN for a job, insurance too expensive. Don't worry, just a form
and I have well over 16 years in this bizz.


OSI true to form: I am ready to quit on the spot

I just got my latest paycheck from OSi and did not get paid the extra 5 cpl holiday pay.  The reason???  With their ridiculous new holiday policy my primary and secondary accounts were out of work, did not have enough work to give me the 1000 minimum line count so therefore I did not get the extra pay for the lines that I did type.  I was required to be stuck at my PC all day and constantly got instant messages from client support to make sure I was there.  This is just sooooooooooo wrong.  I am so fighting mad and feel like quitting right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I need some help ASAP.  Does anybody please know where I could get hired at another company pretty quickly?  I almost don't care where it is because I am desperate.  This is the last straw with OSI and I have had enough.  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. 



 


Still have not received 1099 form from previous employer!

Am I not correct that employeers are supposed to send out 1099 forms by the 31st of January?  I quit a company back in May of 2007 and I still have not yet received a form.  I guess I should contact these people?  You would think they would have sent it to me by now!  It's frustrating having to contact old employers because you really do not want to have to be bothered by them anymore!


Just go to MQ board and read, form your opinion from current employees (nm)

If you work for DR they send a form letter to all employees about bonuses.sm
If you work for them and are eligle, they send a form letter out letting everyone know how it was figured.

YEE GADS the old bitty's are out today.
A message delievered in THAT form distracts from the real issue
and makes one doubt her qualifications.
you get a form to put in your name, email, and paste your resume. MTSpot sends it to the recipient
b
Form an LLC (limited liability corporation) if you are an IC by filing legal paperwork SM
that way no one can sue your personal assets away, only those of your business entity, even if it is only your IC company in your name. This can be done through a lawyer or at companies such as legalzoom. this limits your liability and protects your personal assets. otherwise, they can take away all your assets, including your joint assets of your spouse.
No problem :) No matter how long, it is too long for me - I am broke the day after payday. Kids wi
do that to you!

I know that they have worked very hard to make sure that checks are never late and I can say that in the past two years, I have had one problem (2 days late) and in the past 18 months, they have all been on payday and perfect.

I know that there are a lot of hard feelings in MT in general. I also know firsthand (and I am not mgmt) how hard KS has worked to get things going good.

I would not want to walk in an MTSO's shoes for any amount of money, but that's just me. I like to finish my work for the day, forget about work when not working and get paid on payday. I never want the other things that go with mgmt or owning a company of any kind :)
They definitely rip you off with your line count. Figured this out long ago and quit long ago
