a bid per line.  Have any of you ever heard of that?  Would you have any advice as to how to bid for the job with having almost nine years of experience in orthopedics?  I have been paid various line counts over the years, all with different formulas.....any suggestions?


TIA

We did not submit that ad
We at AccuStat Carolinas did not place or approve that ad that was run above. It was placed by an MT trying to outsource some work in the US under AccuStat. We are sorry for any confusion!!
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.
Since you are an IC, don't you submit an invoice that...SM
your client should pay you from?  If that isn't how you're doing it, then you are an employee NOT an IC.  You are at the mercy of the MTSO.
They won't take out taxes. Did you submit a tax form? nt
 
SE's do not have to submit time sheets.

Don't have to submit to background check, BUT

Sure, you can refuse a background check, but you won't get the job offer, either.  Rights or no rights, the employer still holds all the cards on this one.


Proper way to submit resignation?
How much information does one have to include in a resignation? Just the date effective? Do you need to give the reasons in the resignation?  TIA!
submit invoice monthly, get ck

Submit/save button

Hello out there all you knowledgable techie MTs.


My submit/save button is not working and I need any (easy) suggestions!


All suggestions appreciated as I am at a loss, having tried everything I know.


Thanks very much!


Try monsterjobs.com or careerbuilder.com and submit your resume. nm

I submit an invoice, they mail me a check. - nm

How can you submit a notification letter to your emlpoyer...sm
more or less stating that you are happy with the company, but due to personal reasons you need to leave.  I have equpment that needs to be returned and I would prefer the company not try to keep me or bombard me with e-mails/phone calls about what the personal reason is and/or how long I need to be gone - that they will hold my position for me when I come back.  I just want to leave for personal reasons - no questions asked.  Thanks.
Not to flame but every day there's posting after posting about how awful MQ is

Why does anyone still work there?


I don't get it.



Submit invoice; get check. Won't give bank account

I think presenting a letter addressed to him and/or the office manager to submit to him is very
appropriate. That is exactly how I presented it as I was having a hard time thinking how to say and what to say. It was much easier to "plead my case" on paper. Go for it.
HELP with Shorthand. Suddenly today when I tried to start work today.sm

my ShortHand would type only the first letter of an expansion and then take all the letters away!  I checked and the Type It button is grayed out!  I have restarted the computer and looked on the Shorthand Help menu but can find nothing that applies.  Can anyone please help me ASAP?  I am lost without it!  TIA


Perhaps you are right. This one is dated today. The original article was on Yahoo today also with

But this article states it would only affect new customers right now.  So I am upset over nothing.  I went through heck with BellSouth when they charged me a surcharge of an extra 50 a month and then would write a letter saying I had to switch to a long distance service and pay by the minute because of my "excessive" use. They told me the unlimited charge was for an average of an hour a day not somebody who worked out of their home and I needed to switch a business plan at over 200 a month charge.  I switched over to cable because of that and then to read that cable was going to charging on a per use fee and not a flat monthly fee it upset me.  It is the nature of our work, VR, only paying for VBC, having headers and footers taken away, now being charged for being on line, etc.  It just seems that everything is done to keep to insure less money.


Just return the work, submit your bill, the scurry and find more work elsewhere. sm
They will never meet with you before next week. It is Thursday, already. Be prepared to sue for payment, because you will probably need to. But, most of all, find other work elsewhere, because I have a feeling this final payment will be a long time coming.
If you submit your reports on time and correctly, you get paid correctly. Pay has been on sm
time for 2 years now. 1st and 15th for employees, 2nd and 16th for ICs. If it falls on a weekend or holiday, it posts the next business day.

By the way, there is no Sophie on radiology at Keystrokes. Must be a troll.
Blasted cold out today. It was 104 degrees last week, but it's 40 degrees today with rain.
However, I do like cozy days like today when I don't have to go anywhere.  I'm done working, the house is clean, there's chili on the stove for dinner already, and I'm just putzing around.  I think I'll go bake some jalapeno cheese bread to go with the chili.
I KEEP POSTING ON HERE
What MQ is really doing and how they are crookedly counting lines, but someone keeps deleting my post.
Done! Thanx for posting this!! (nm)

I am not the only one posting here.
Others see it too because they are responding as well. I don't think that you are Zipper in the least. If you would notice the posts from Zipper, Frankie Boy and No whining the wording is almost exactly the same in their posts and Barney is defending them. If you ever saw the posts from Frankie Boy and Zipper, they were extremely offensive. No one in their right mind would think they are funny or want them back on the board.
thanks to all for posting
your post touched me most because i about your same age (52) and now have a 3 yr old to ride. I tried to send to your e/m but it wouldn't send (said invalid e/mail)... My husband told me (ex-racerider) to ride in the corral til we got used to each other -- i thought, 2 hours in a corral? -- i've always just rode out in the open...but now i find that i've spent these last 3 wk exclusively in the corral except for 2 outings when a friend could go with me. I feel like all my molecules have started to respond to the movement under me again (pretty rusty), but was totally upset by those feelings of *&#%# ?? Hate to call it fear, because i have felt true fear before and this was different. But it was totally new to me and i didn't like it. Yesterday was better. I always had so much confidence before and its making me doubt myself to have had these fleeting feelings that day. This is probably about the best colt to have if i'm starting with a young horse (which i also didn't plan on doing, another story); he's been well-started and basically laid back and level headed...again, thanks for your post (and to all). jml
Thanks for posting this...

Some of my stuff has been acting weird, too.  Just curious...have you tried uninstalling the Update w/ Service Pack?  Long story short, my DBF is in IT, said to uninstall the update, but when I tried it said "this update cannot be uninstalled."  Oh great!!!  Guess I should have known to have him install a Service Pack manually.  They can screw things up big-time sometimes if they're not done right. 


Anyway, ditto on the heads up folks.


Thanks for posting that ...
I'm a real sucker for cute animal stuff ... now I want a squirrel LOL

How sad. Thanks for posting this

I am sorry about posting this here, but
I need help asap.  I asked on the tech board about a couple of things:  1.  Since I installed VWPlayer on my PC, it has been running a lot slower and my screen has been freezing causing me to lose jobs.  Also, everywhere I look for directions on backing up autocorrect, it says something about look in C:ProgramFilesMicrosoftOffice and then it says office10, but my only option is to look in Office and when I do, it does not say macros.  I have MS Word 2000 if that helps.  Also, I just recently added some memory (going from 128 to 384 after addng 256)  Are there any techies around?  Thanks for all your help!!
Thanks for posting...
hat is what I make now as an MT, of course, which is par.

do they have a different name/classification/description now for that job duty?

the AAMT is always boasting how they are going to help transition MTs into the technology, but have yet to offer ANYthing more, as to how, when, for whom, etc.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that this does not mean a cut in pay...

appreciate the input...
posting sm
Post anytime. We all make mistakes and we all have been there. I posted something upset and I've been in the business for years. I got some smart mouthed answers and I received help that discounted that, so it evened out. Posting is good for you, you are as sick as your secrets and I am not going to judge anyone who posts upset. That's a good thing, get it off your chest. Don't run away. Stay and we'll support you IMHO. Good luck to you, sounds like you're having a tough time. Been there, done that, I showed up 2 hours late for a TAT in my black dress and got a nasty remark. I buried my Dad at 9:00 and went at 11:00 am to return my work. I said, "I just buried my Dad this morning." Didn't make a darned bit of difference. You get no sympathy from TAT excuses, believe me, one doc told me he didn't care who died, he just wanted his work. Stay, please.
She was posting under a different name

so, honestly, I'm new, what is THIS board for?
I think some of those are posting, above.

Thanks for posting
I imagine those shows do over dramatize everything. But I do hope it really did give your husband an overall appreciation for what you do. I work part-time, I couldn't even imagine working full-time and doing all of my mom/wife/housekeeper duties.



Yes, thanks for posting...SM
You can't always believe what you see on TV. All of that is edited to make for better ratings. It seemed like you both gained a little something from the experience though, so that is a plus.

If you don't mind me asking, what made you both decide you wanted to go on the show?
you are the one who is posting under different--sm
names, you little troll you. why don't you just stay off this board, Kikki, if you just hate everything, everybody, and your own life so much. you are pathetic. You had better find yourself some help. We all know who you are. The only one you are fooling is yourself. You are truly the devils spawn...and maybe you had better look that up to know what it means. go away!
where did my posting go?
I just posted something less than an hour ago about input on companies. Now it is not here?
Why don't you try posting it
on the job seeker's board that you need overflow/vacation help?  You may find some candidates that are willing to help.  If it needs to be local then state that the candidate would need to live in that area.  Just a suggestion.  Good luck.  Some transcriptionists like to help out and to try something different.  It is also a great way to network and meet new people.   
thank you for posting this

I saw a similar ad, maybe the same one as you, and I too wondered how much could be done in an hour.  It sounded like it could be fascinating but I too was apprehensive about how complicated it would be and what the hourly pay would amount to. 


I used to do this kind of thing back in the 80s and charged at a minimum $25 an hour based on the time it took me to transcribe.  I got plenty of work, but it was often a headache trying to follow along and keep track of who was saying what, etc.  If it was really difficult, I'd contact them after an hour or so into it and tell them it was going to be pretty expensive and give them the option of taking it elsewhere.  They usually told me to keep going and they'd pay whatever it cost and then tell their friends so I'd keep getting more and more of it.  Sometimes it seemed like no amount of money was worth the hassle of it!! 


thank you for posting that....
a lot of us who work for -you know who- are really vulnerable right now because we are looking for an out. If it sounds to good to be true it usually is.
Try posting this on
the company board. I have also read a lot of negative things about them, actually just after I turned down an offer by them for another job. Sounds like I might have made the right decision but again, post on the company board and I'm sure you'll get feedback there.
Wow, with so many posting here
I think making over 40 thousand a year is a good living, for this job. I don't know why so many say they can't pay their bills or this profession pays less than minimum wage. Last I heard, minimum wage is way less than 50 thousand a year, and also being able to stay home. That, to me, is a good living wage. I don't make 50 thousand, but I would like to and am going to try.
LOL! Thanks for posting this.

Re-posting

Just re-posting about speakers, as I did not get any responses: Note: I have the couple speaker brands that were originally mentioned written down.


I would like to get away from headphones too.

Where do I find those speakers mentioned (or other good ones I can use)?

Right now I am plugging my headphones into $30 speakers I got at Best Buy. They sound crappy without my headphones.


Thanks for any help you can provide.

I do not know how to post a subject line without posting a message as well. Sometimes just a word or two would do, but it will not get accepted if I don't include a message??? Thanks in advance.
OMG, sorry for posting like this, but . . .
if you haven't in a while, you need to defrag computer, preferably after you run these programs.  Actually, there is so much information out there which can be confusing and, like I said, daunting, but please choose what's best for you.  I'm sure others here have great ideas too - shoot, I could always use help too. 
LOL! Thanks for posting this. nm

Then why are you here...just to keep posting that you
Nobody's stopping you. If anyone else wants to join, then they will. OTherwise, we don't need it posted every 2 seconds to go over there.
YOU ARE POSTING RIGHT NOW!!!
I completely understand why you don't like it. I don't feel the same way, but I do understand. BUT, just leave then. No reason to stick around if it's just to post that you're not posting here.

And, yes I do care about those things. BUT, the owner isn't the one who did it...the previous owner did...all while sitting back and telling us she hated offshoring.
