Helping each other
Well here we go again.  Let anyone ask something here and they get a snotty reply.  Instead of this being a site of help from fellow MTs we get the ones who think they know everything and the person asking for help is stupid.  Perhaps I do not speak English.  I said someone posted here about it being a requirement of the US DOL that you be able to verify the method you were being paid by.  That person also listed the link to DOL at that time.  At that time I did not need that info, now I do.  So, I was hoping one of my fellow MTs might know the address/link at US DOL for verifying this information so that I could show it to Human Resources when the time came.  I did not say I needed the address to US DOL.  If you have nothing to contribute, that is fine, then please do not make smart comments.  Telling me to quit is really ignorant, in fact, you sound  like you are in Human Resources instead of a lowly working peasant MT like me.
I was not IC, simply helping out
my local hospital when it was swamped with work, and agreed to help, at $1 per dictated minute.  WONDERFUL $$; I could type off at least $130-$140 a day, and over 20 minutes an hour.  It really is worth it, but ask for at least $1 per dictated minute. 
not my regular account - just helping out

If you email me, I will help. I am helping with staffing a few of the sm
new accounts. Are you clinic or HIM or rad? There are at least 2 new accounts of each.
I am wondering why her school isn't helping her. nm

Helping people to understand who they are. sm
All they have to do is set up the world central bank and everything they need for one world government will be in place. The video Money Masters is the best one to watch, but it is long, or Fiat Empire. I think they are available on You Tube. We gave these out for the Ron Paul campaign. This is why he wants to end the Fed and go back to the gold standard.

Here is a shorter video that explains who they are and what is going on. It is called Monopoly Men.

We are having a hard enough time helping ourselves

If you don't mind helping out India with their overflow - sm
I worked for them last summer and it was somewhat of a bait and switch they pulled on me.  Originally, I was working on one platform with tons of dictations and then all of a sudden, where did they go?  Then they switched platforms and were told that we needed to help out India with their backlog.  I saw RED!!!!  They outsourced our jobs over there and now we were expected to help them out??? They are the reason why we get paid diddly over here.  Maybe by now it has changed, but that was my experience.  You decide for yourself.
I did some work ON MY TIME helping them and Rebecca never paid me either.
Bad way to run a company.
Hope you're enjoying those slave wages you're earning.

So you guys feel you're getting paid what you're worth with VR?
I'm not trying to be snarky. I've never done VR, so I'm trying to understand.

You're happy with your paycheck with VR? Do you find the files to be as bad as the original post implied?
So you're telling me, basically, they're bad news?
They offered me 0.095/line and you know - it sounded too good to be true, but I SWEAR the recruiter told me they do not outsource. Oh brother... I just wish they'd be honest. I really don't know what to do.
Not the OP, but they're supposed to take out all the other taxes as you're an employee with th
s
No, they're not losing money....they're gaining!
If a company charges their clients by the line, I'm sure that line rate does not go down even though the MTs pay does.

ASR pays about 2/3 normal line rate to its MTs. Their ultimate goal is to have the MTs do twice as much work. Therefore, the client is getting their work faster, but paying their normal rate, while corporate gets that money and the MTs get the lower line rate.

Whether the newbies want to realize it or not, MTSOs have not increased MTs' salaries in the past 10 years. They still start out at the same pay as the last century!

This used to be a very lucrative profession. Nowadays, most MTs are considered to be paid at the poverty level. You don't believe me, look it up!
Hey, you're in luck then. They're hiring! (nm)

If you're an IC, you pay all your taxes. Otherwise you're an SE or employee. nm

If you're PT you're required to work

8 of your hours in one weekend day.  There's no extra pay for it though.

We're not 'so scared' of it. We're trying to help
you to not make a huge mistake, but I guess you're determined to learn the hard way, so good luck with that.
If you're in the 37% tax bracket, you're making over
100K per year. Quit complaining.
You're right on it! They're just trying to cause panic.

they're desperate because they're sm
driving away all their employees with the horrible new changes they're implementing.  It's a mass exodus, and they couldn't keep up with their work load before all the departures. 
We're glad you're gone too.
The more people that quit, the more work left for me. I love it when people say they can't take doing MT anymore.
Well, i hate to tell ya, but if you're an IC, you're

now we're getting somewhere....
Great qualities... absolutely. Can you be more specific. What type of communication do you think works? What doesn't? Concern is also important. But how far should it go. Certainly a company needs to be understanding if an MT has some problems, but remembering it is not the company's job to take care of someone, what about when the MT is not producing or working when scheduled? How long do you let it go on? What if the MT has chronic problems. What is the company's role here?

I can say my boss was ALWAYS flexible with my schedule, but I also made sure that I made up the time and the lines. I didn't abuse it.
You're better off
Someone else will appreciate your abilities.
You're welcome; here's what I can tell you ...
Spheris' family insurance is with United Healthcare and the premium for family coverage is about $180 per payperiod (2-weeks).

As far as PTO with Spheris, as a FT employee, you would earn 10 days a year for your first 5 years of service, then it goes up from there.

I hope that gives you a guideline to go by.
If you're looking for
and to be treated well, then you will like TT. They really are the best company I've ever worked, for and I've worked for more than a few. In this business of never meeting who you work for and not knowing what you're getting in to until it's too late, they are a breath of fresh air. They always pay on time, pay what they say they will pay, are very kind and honest. Good luck.
you're right...sm
when I was in school, for MA, not MT, my instructor said the ones taking the MT class were just waisting their time. I worked as an MA until I got pregnant, then worked as an MT after my son was born. I'm gonna ride it out as long as it's available. Then, hopefully I won't be too old to do something else!
Is it possible that you're having another
I may be an old biddy but when I was 17 it wasn't a computer that was sitting in front of me on Friday night, loser.
Oh, if you're asking me -- I don't know. I wish I could
tell you, but I have no idea.

They're far from going under.

They're securing new accounts all the time because they're a good company with a fair, honest owner and a wonderful support staff and QA, etc.


I hear there are one or two bitter ex-employees out there who do nothing but trash the company, and it's totally unwarranted. 


so what you're saying is . . .
No brains required! LOL! Sounds good to me!
If you're sure...
I would contact my coordinator and ask. I think the system is set up only with and without ops, that's it. On the VA account I do, if any report is skipped, the MT is questioned. Melody sent out an email not too long ago about cherrypicking and I know management is now noting who is skipping what.
Not sure if this is what you're trying to ask or not...
OSi now has what used to MQs so I guess they just resent each other. I had a little of what OSi now has. I got paid very well for working on that difficult account. I won't work for them just because I can't see taking such a huge pay cut just to do the same crap I've been doing for years. I moved on. No reason for me to bash anybody. However, the complaints on this board definitely helped me make that decision and I'm so glad that people do speak out when they're not treated right by a company.
You're welcome! nm

You're very welcome. :)

you're right
and you're also pathguy, not radguy. Maybe I need to go back to bed and get up again. Duh. I'm going to tuck my tail between my legs and amble off now.
You're really better off anyway.
You'll struggle to get 200 lph, plus pay long distance.  It really isn't worth it. 
You're welcome

You're probably right.....sm
but I can tell you I DON'T miss being inundated with numerous emails several times a day!  That was a bit too much.....
I think it is the mix up of your and you're
and that is not an Expander error.
You're welcome, D! : )
