You might wanna check with HR

I thought the same thing.  I was told by HR there is a credit given to offset the difference.

probably not what you wanna hear, but (sm)
MQ offers all that you are looking for.  For employees, they provide equipment, pay half of your Internet or phone, whichever format you use, have reasonable benefits..though I do not get them-another story, fair pay-on time no less, regular raises, and steady work.  I sound like a recruiter but I'm not, I'm just an MT who is very happy with MQ. My advice would be to give them a try, what have you got to lose?  Good luck, whichever way you choose to go!
I'm not a disgruntled MT wanna-be. I'm
and she's a suspicious, condescending, controlling person. She doesn't like anyone she can't keep under thumb.

It's no different discussing her than discussing companies.

Go away if you don't like it, Laurie. We see your rose-colored glasses -- they have a fracture in the lenses, dear! LOL

Nah, but don't wanna name names. nm

wanna macro
Hi, If anyone has keyboard steps to set up a macro for speech to delete a period and replace it with a comma and one space instead of two, I'd love to hear from you. Also, the reverse would be good. I'd like to deleted the comma, place a period and have two spaces afterwards instead of one. I got the code on Productivity Talk from Ed Webber, but it was like reading Greek; I was lost! Or, it someone knows of a book I can purchase to learn to do these macros, that would be good too! Thanks to any who reply!

Ha, wanna hear something really funny

I left them for another job and then was going to get rehired part-time.  They called me and said they couldn't rehire me part-time because they found out that the day I quit, I was actually going to be let go for not doing a good job!  I said, what are you talking about, no one ever said anything to me.  Then Lee sent me an email saying that it was a big mistake and never mind.  Then the account I was going to go on was going to be starting up in a week, then a month, then I never heard another word from them!  Then Karen called me quite a while later and said they had an account coming on and she would call me the next day to get set up.  I said okay for the extra work.  No call, ever.  I decided that enough was enough and that things would never change.  I see by current posts things still haven't!  Ha.  Go figure!


Also, I was quite offended as I have never been let go from anywhere and have never had a complaint about my work.  But then I had to remember who the source was and just let it go.


Hey I wanna get padi more for less keystrokes!

you definitely wanna pick TransHealth
constant workflow. Good accounts. Good pay. GOOD PEOPLE.
Don't wanna run out of work? Beware of OSI's ad
They can't keep people on that clinic account because they are ALWAYS RUNNING OUT OF WORK since the work is offshored to India!
JLG'ers wanna take a bet on which day checks
and the 10th is on a Friday ?? Maybe on the 15th???  Still no word on DD??
If you wanna hear from them, you gott BUG THEM!!!!

Send an e-mail to HR off the website... Do this daily until you hear from them. 


I did take the test and sent in resume at same time though.  I kept bugging them... I said I would like to know how I did on my test and if they received my resume and how I could not wait to work there....


Now I work there.


Do they still use DOS software with a dial-up modem? You don't wanna do that! nm

I don't wanna put words in the company's mouth

because I don't know if the insurance type/coverage varies from state to state or not.  I have to provide insurance for both my husband and I (through DeVenture) and well, that does take a bite out of the ol' paycheck I must admit.  However, when I was getting just coverage for myself, so long as I made 7000+ lines a week, they paid 90% of the cost, and that wasn't too shabbyof a deal at all.


 


Yeah, ya might wanna learn to read there.
Where did I say I didn't make my line count? Geeze, sure hope you're not an Editor with those eagle eyes there.

Seriously, name one thing I mentioned that's not true.

FYI, Spheris has MT formus where folks can discuss things amongst themselves. All of the issues I brought up have been bemoaned on the boards. Just passin' on the info, friend.

Lighten up.
You might wanna look down a ways. BrokeMT can't seem to get paid by them.
I'm pretty sure she is not going to recommend them.
Wanna work for an hourly QA position?

1.  The reason it is hourly is so they can pay you on a 1980's pay scale.  It is nothing more than bait to use as an excuse to pay you less.


2.  Many hourly QAs tend to dump jobs they don't want for someone else to do the dirty work.  The high producers who care about their work end up doing most of the work.


3.  If you get paid by the line you make at least 50% more.  I left an hourly QA job about a month ago for one that pays by the line and I doubled my income within two weeks.  By working on the long jobs other QAs don't want, I make a lot of money.


4.  Hourly QAs make about half of what good MTs make. 


5.  QA in general is one of the most thankless jobs around.  I left MT for QA so I could share my knowledge.  What a joke.  The MTs argue with you and never stop making the same mistakes.  Not only did I lose a lot of income, I hated coming to work every day to get the same reports from the same lazy MTs and then get nasty emails from the same MTs.  I got stuck with the jobs the other hourly QAs didn't know how to do or didn't want to do.  Why should they care?  They get paid no matter what.


Don't accept job unless you wanna work for free
Your right DIT ONCE was a great company to work for..That was when Donna Dana had ownership in and ran the company..DIT has continued to pass bad checks since about October of 2008.  Oh yeah, they say you will get paid..and they do send out replacement checks...but they bounce also...They have changed banks three times...I could go on and on as well as MANY others...There are MANY, MANY emails circulating from employees or former employees about these issues.  They are JUST about to get themselves in legal trouble as there are MANY lawyers who have been contacted on this and are working on this issue...It's is a very sad situation for what was once an AWESOME company to work for..

There's an old saying in life, justme- a wanna-be public defender...
it's better to be silent and be thought of as an idiot, than to speak and remove all doubt. Now, you removed all doubt.... 
I wanna think that OSI has an ad up stating that now have benefits for part-timers..Other than that,
I do not think many do. Everyone was saying how Wedmedx did, but when I checked into it, their idea of PT was like 35 hours or something, but I could be wrong and I do believe they are also fairly rigid about those 35 hours. I think anyone that offers health insurance is going to ask for a fairly strict schedule and probably FT but you never know. You might also check into your local hospitals. I know they do have insurance and usually pretty good for PT.
Wanna share your words of wisdom on who these companies are so we can be spared...

Wanna give the rest of us instructions on how to make a line count like that, aside from doing all

Credit check, FBI check was not for
me. The notion that if you don't pay your bills means your not a responsible person really kills me!!! Lots of people have $$ problems, especially if you are an MT, LOL!!! They are the only company I know that does these checks. Seems a little anal to me!!!
They can check mine if I can check theirs...nm

Thank you. I will check into it.

Well, that threw me for a curve when I got the ipay notice, checked it out on ADP's site and it said for DEP adjustment???


I have'nt got the real check yet and did not know a letter was to accompany the check I was not expecting, so what is this for?


Check out

First Pay Check?
Is this your first paycheck from the company? If it is, then that's what happened to me on my first pay check only. I get paid every two weeks, but the first paycheck was withheld for two weeks so when I finally got paid I waited 6 weeks, but now my pay comes every two weeks.

Bytescribe web side. I think there is a free one somewhere too. Very easy to use and kind of fun.


 


 


Did you check... (sm)
The system status on the main page? As of 1 pm PDT, status is Okay -- sort of -- It's the phone company's fault. (It was that way a couple of hours ago, too.) Clearly there's a technical problem of some sort(but I'm not sure I'd get paranoid about it and/or say Same Old S...)
no check yet either

Yes, I am in the same situation with the same company.  They informed of my 9 cents rate and weekly pay.   That was two and a half weeks ago.  The work was definitely there and they constantly calling me to work.  I got suspicious the second day when they did not send me a 1099 and no other paperwork besides their MT scope letter which means nothing but what hours can you commit to.  Well, I felt it was too good to be true.  I really like the account too but they wanted to me email every 30 minutes the work so they could cut and paste the work into the system.  I was like how the system know if it was my work etc, etc.  By the grace and mercy of prayer I have a job with benefits now while I was only IC with DocuMed.


FBI check and OSi
FBI called a friend's ex to get the scoop on me. He was later arrested for sex crimes and served time for that. Yeap talk about big brother OSi and FBI go hand in hand they have a ton of gov't accounts. We received an insurance settlement from a car accident and I was able to quit & leave them behind. Good riddance to them. That whole experience was awful.
Be sure you check out other
sources of job ads or even just look around for companies in your area and send in a resume even if you don't know if they are hiring. Check Craig's list for your area. Check sites like Monster. Watch for jobs that want a resume faxed or mailed instead of e-mailed. They do that so they get a lower volume of resumes, which works to your advantage.

Go to bbfb.com (Best Buy for Business). They have XP available only on-line.

I bought mine the first of August. I even went to bbfb.com, found one that I liked and added it to my cart but did not buy one that day. A day or two later Best Buy e-mailed me asking me if I was still interested in buying a computer, and they offered me a 10% discount.

I found this while doing a Google search.  It seems like her company name is fictitious.

NO...No check yet.
No check here yet either. My check has been 3 to 4 days late for the last two months or so, but anticipate one shortly. Hopefully. I know the mail does take a couple of days and then the weekend was here, but.....
