I'd ask my friend if her MTSO would like someone familiar with the account on her payroll.

Sounds familiar. I have a friend with a son who is now
a year behind where he should be because they fell for some private school cock and bull story about how he wasn't ready for kindergarten (the school was ready, however, to milk her for another year of preschool, I'm quite sure).  So here's this kid now, a sophomore in high school and turning 17 in August. All for no reason, there wasn't a thing wrong with him.
With expander and very familiar account SM
on a bad day where everything goes wrong maybe 4 hours. In the groove, less than 3.

I'm an experienced MT, a slowish typist but a fast reader and puctuator, use an Expander heavily, and have good (not great) familiarity with one account but not with my backup, and neither account is the kind of great "fast" one that helps you get in the groove and really knock the work out consistently.
I hope I hang in long enough to get familiar with account
mostly not medical error, this doctors wants it this way, that doctor wants it that way, and with a base of 700 doctors, that's hard to remember. You can add headings, then when you add heading, they delete them... next time, I don't add heading and they add it... suppose to type names as dictated (if spelled), otherwise type "the patient"... next they correct it and put "the patient" where I typed the name, etc.   Does one EVER get used to all the rules/regulations?
Any tips on becoming an MTSO and landing first account?

How much experience does the average MTSO have when they step out on their own? 


 


Thanks in advance for any and all help!


Regardless of being employee or IC, is wrong to steal account from your MTSO
and it's also irrelevant whether it's a crappy MTSO or not.
My friend who works for them is having her mail go to her own account. She hates this new mail prog

How about your husband tells the friend to tell his female friend to lose the #?

Yep, she used to be in payroll.

it isn't just payroll tax
the GST/HST is added to everything you buy - so an additional 13% on food, clothing, cars, energy, education, housing, etc., etc., etc. And while it may be $50 a check for you for some people it would be a lot more and for some a lot less. Hmmmm, sounds kinda like redistribution to me.
No need to submit anything for payroll if you are SE.
The platform keeps track of your lines and dates worked. As an SE, you choose your own hours and they expect you to work them, but actual time does not need to be submitted. They, of course, would prefer you also send in a time sheet, but cannot require it.
That is not just for payroll. It's how to find your
xx
That isn't just for payroll. I am from the Southeast
and we were told by supervisors to use the method to read reports to check reports we had to send to QA if we wanted to see how they looked when the client gets them.
I also talked to payroll and they
are the ones who told me it was a live check. It is not direct deposit.
Payroll service sm
I used a payroll service, the cost was very nominal and they do all the work, keep all the records, send you statements, make out the payroll check and you hand everything over to the tax guy at the end of the year. I did open a separate checking account, it is much easier than mixing it up with your own money, keep it separate, no incorporation necessary unless you expect to expand. Just an opinion, of course. You can pay your own taxes from your account at the end of the year if you don't pay yourself each week, you can pay self-employment tax and use a Schedule C for yourself, be sure to keep some money in the bank for this.
2005 Payroll Schedule

The payroll schedule for MedQuist states PayDate as 07/11/05 (Monday). 


no you crack me up. if you are on mq payroll, you should really take a cut. not to clever to not
be able to disguise alias when trying to devise a multiple personality back-up to your multiple posts backing MQ.  LOL.  Nice try! 
No time sheet - but something to payroll? nm
.
No you aren't supposed to go there. That's for payroll.
Any lawyers in the house?
If you talked to payroll, they must have told you what it was for. What was it for? nm.
nm.
How is that falsfying payroll records ? - sm
she is only paid for what lines she produces at each job. I am sure her MTSOs must think she is slow though in terms of production, but that is her problem. Also what is unethical/criminal about it? I gather you only work 1 job and think it is wrong to work for more than 1 company at a time. Obviously I disagree with that idea. Sure most companies would prefer you only work for them, but most cannot give you enough work to pay the bills, so you need 2 jobs, plus it is not wise to have all your eggs in one basket. If you lose your job then your are screwed, but if you have 2 then at least you still have some income coming in.
A friend of a friend is taking CareerStep - sm
she is under the misguided idea that she will be making very good $ upon completing the course (a friend of hers supposedly makes $55K a year). I told her no way, at least not starting out and not unless all the factors click together, i.e. good typing speed, good pay (not for a newbie), good dictators (unlikely) and dedication to working hard. I told her what I make after 5 years (16K) but that is PT and I have the potential to double that if I would push myself, not procrastinate so much (I web surf way too much) and work more than I already do. I am not a fast typist but am good at what I do. I will be surprised if she follows though. She told me she'd call me when she finished the course, I just hope she is ready for reality.
it clearly says for payroll. i had to download microsoft office to see it.

it shows everything past and prior line counts.  i counted the spaces and lines and they did not add up to MQ version some times.  wonder of the MQMT lawyers have seen this. 


I already said that I talked to payroll and asked why this was in IPAY,
They said that we will be receiving a check in the mail with a letter explaining it. They would not go into detail. I don't know how much more clear I need to make this for you.
Payroll law? MDI-Fl now pays 6th working day after end of payperiod.
California laws say must be paid on or before the 5th working day after end of pay period.  Because the company is in Florida, would their law supercede California law? 
Apply for a business loan to meet payroll.

Such lies. Just yesterday I had a payroll problem. 1 phone call, person answered, and IMMEDIATELY
remedied the situation. There are always people there to help us.  Wendy is just lying, and like I'll bet she's lying about her name! Its sooooooooo stupid to do this stuff when you're a disgruntled ex.
What is the difference between an acute care account and a multispecialty account??..nm
nm
I've never had a problem switching from account to account.
The problem I had was being switched too soon. If I don't get one account spec solidly in my memory with QA feedback on mistakes before starting another, I get confused. The other problem I had with former jobs was inconsistent QA. One person tells you one thing, another person tells you another.

Lately, I don't have a problem with it. Right now, my binder has 8 account specs (some I've never had to use) and I'm picking up a new weekend job for a while. The terminology and report formats stay basically the same. It's just all those little preferences. LOL
Exactly! Because you got familiar with VR....
It is difficult to switch from stRaight to editing, Back an forth, back and forth, this is so TRUE!

And all the various accounts with the different clients' specifics.
Not familiar with a dropdown box . . .
Are you referring to F9 to get line count?
If you are familiar with this forum at all
then you should have enough insight to realize that posting such vague information without any shred of credibility will get you a less-than-desired response.

Either way, even if it IS true - what kind of friend shares such an important secret? What kind of employee leaks information?

Hmm...sounds familiar sm
Is this company out of Texas, perhaps. 
Sounds familiar.
Feast or famine.
sounds familiar
I'm drowning in paper. I have piles everywhere, including my bedroom floor and dresser. I used to be very organized and couldn't stand clutter, I don't know what happened. I live with three other "messies", husband and two of three children. I think I just gave up. I usually can find things, but it bugs me a lot. Can't seem to get myself to clean it up. This has a psychological basis I'm sure. I'm not lazy, otherwise I keep a really neat, clean house. Stressed out maybe the reason, just don't know where to start first when I do have some time to myself. It's always something.
sounds so familiar!!
I guess most office atmospheres are like that...it sounds so similar to what I had worked with until I went home...and boy am I glad I did!!! I am a social person, but absolutely do not miss the office crud!!! Now I have been doing home repairs and "fixing" up my new "office" as well as getting out a couple of nights a week. Also spending more time focusing on my needs, i.e. pampering myself more!
We are attracted to what is familiar to us
Womanizers, alcoholics, workaholics, rage-aholics...if our dad was one, there seems to be a good chance we find ourselves married to a replica of him. At 48, I decided just to be alone as every man I found myself with was a psycholoanalysts' worst nightmare (these men rarely seek help and rarely change in my observation).
Anyone familiar with FTP Navigator?
I downloaded version 7.0 but now what?  I got the files I wanted but they open in notepad.  Is this right?  Are they now in my PC and can I view them in a word processing program?  Thanks.
Not familiar with SIM message, however,
I have found that if I am persistent and patient with their customer service line, eventually I will get through and get an answer to my question/problem.  There is a yahoo group for tracfone users and I have found them to be very helpful also, especially with codes for more minutes, etc.  Someone there is probaby familiar with that SIM message.  Hope this helps. 
Websense - anyone familiar with?
Something called Websense has decided it is my own personal internet sentinel and blocks various websites.  I don't know who/what this is and I have not authorized it to do so.  Anyone know anything about it?  How to get rid of it or shut it off? 
Sorry.. I am not familiar w/ExText

Thought maybe it had its own shortcut program. 


Also, not familiar w/ Vonage, but ..sm
If there is any kind of option for pulse vs. tone dialing. If Vonage is set up for pulse dialing, it might be that the station isn't recognizing the ID # when you enter it. That's a longshot, since most are now all set to tone by default, but it's an idea.
Anyone familiar with Olympus DS-30?

I need to find digital recorders for a few doctors.  I am looking at the DS 30, but want to make sure its a decent recorder, but don't want to spend too much $$.  They want to email me the digital files--so I was wondering if this recorder is pretty easy to use/set up?


Thanks for any info


Sounds familiar...
There's that 7 years again, me too. Would agree with much you say. Are you elsewhere now and do you like it?
Thanks for the info! So is anyone familiar with... SM

VoIP companies called Phone Power or ITP?  I've decided against Magic Jack because of the problems.  I did some research and found the two above companies were pretty reasonable or maybe I should just stick with Vonage?


MRT Services - anyone familiar with them?
Anyone ever heard of MRT Services? I saw them online. Please provide feedback.
Sounds familiar only.....
once in a while if I fall asleep watching TV, I dream I'm trying to transcribe everything that's being said. Only problem with that....you can't backspace or fast forward. Now that's frustrating!
Uh oh! Sounds familiar. I have an 11yo too. sm

She is my 4th out of 4 and, believe me, times have really changed over the years.


Some of these 5th grade girls come to class all made up, tight jeans, etc., and their parents ALLOW it!  One of my daughter's classmates has cable TV in her bedroom and can watch MTV and horror movies, etc. AND she has her own cell phone!  That's just plain nuts. 


Maybe I'm old fashioned, but when I hear, "well Susie gets to do this and that," I say, "You're not Susie and you know the rules."  Sure she'll experiment. My older kids did, but they knew in their hearts I didn't approve.


One thing I did do was yank the cable.  Oh pity, too bad, you don't get to watch garbage on TV now do you?  I'm such a MEAN MOMMY.


My 23-year-old daughter pulled a ton of stuff on me growing up and now she's a mom.  You should hear her talk about setting curfews, etc.  I'm like, "Uh, you have a good 6 months before potty training yet."


the tone of your post is so familiar
If you somehow follow my other posts, which are mostly just vents, and why you are following them so closely?  Who are you???

I currently work for xxxxx, but recently saw an ad for Landmark Transcription that sounded interesting.  Anyone have experience with this company or know their protocols?
