I always use my debit card (with visa symbol) for online purchases, never a problem. nm

debit cards
do they automatically take the money out of your account the second you use it.  I looked at my account online and it is very low. DH has been using the DC and it has not shown any of the transactions dh made this weekend.  Just wandering if it had already took those out but hasn't shown it yet on-line or are we going to be bumbarded tomorrow.  If dh don't get his paycheck in Wed and quick me may be in trouble
I use debit cards and keep the receipts on the
desk until the item has cleared the bank. I check the accounts online EVERY morning and balance each while I am waiting for DQS to load. Once a check or debit clears I toss it.

This way mistakes (mine or others') can be caught before they become disasters, any by knowing exactly what the balance is I know what I can afford to spend that day.
Debit cards with logos on them
Where do you get debit cards from with the Visa or Master Card logo on them?  My bank only gives out a Star Debit Card without any logos on it. 
One of those radio financial guys said debit cards are the MOST dangerous to use.

The Red Cross just HANDED OUT $5 million worth of debit cards in Texas.
FEMA decided to mail them in 14 days if the people knew where they were going to be...couldn't possibly get them out faster...too much work...etc. 
Exactly, a mutual agreement...sm
Where you find someone you can trust to do quality work and help each other out.

As I am preparing to go out on my own also, here's what I was thinking. (Now this is just a thought.)

You tell your prospect up front in the agreement stages of obtaining the account that on the rare occassion that you need to take time off - i.e., vacations, etc., that you will type the most important charts, up to a limited amount of charts, during that timeframe.

I thought I would take a laptop with me (yes, even on vacation) and type 1 hour or so.

Then, when you return, you will have the backlog typed in xxx amount of days at xxx discounted charge.

Just a thought. I'm also trying to network with local Independent Contractors to work out a mutually beneficial relationship with them.
Indeed. It is mutual. But I don't have to deal with it daily as a supervisor does.
I only hear from supervisor once or twice monthly. According to supervisors, they are dealing with MTs, hundreds of swarming MTs daily. Must be awful to have to deal with people you don't like all day.
Prepaid MC/Visa

i think you ladies have this MC/Visa thing all wrong...think of it as a debit card from your bank.  I have worked for multiple companies that have had this. This was done through ADP the payroll company...you can have all or a percentage of a fixed dollar amt put on the card, the rest is direct deposited into your bank account.  you go to ADP online and get your paystub just like regular.  Other payroll processes that do this are Paychex which uses JPMorgan/Chase as their MC/Visa...all reputable and above board.  Face it ladies this is the wave of the future...banks don't want us writing checks and don't want to deal with paper checks so they are slowly phasing them out.


It's a small doctor's office so I am doing it as a favor for a mutual friend....
Nice to do something different every now and then.


I understand, but we have mutual respect in this household. He's right in terms of income, sm
and since he pays the majority of the bills, he knows what I need to bring home in order to live comfortably, etc.

On the other hand, he's excited for me in this new endeavor.

I just have to pray that I have the skills and knowledge to do this since this company has placed SO much confidence in me. It is just the biggest blessing ever.

Thank you for your response!
I think it was visa versa. I worked for sm
TL since 1983 and it switched to MQ in the 90s. Must have been R&R before TL. When I worked in the hospital we had the paper mites and had to have the office sprayed all the time. Then Igot them at home when I worked at home and same thing. They will eat your ankles up!
If you use a Visa CC, they usually provide collision

Part time on H1B visa

Hi, I live & work in the US, but on a H1B. Have W2 employment status with a contracting company. Can I work for MT part time?


If i do, would it risk my current employment. How can I get this confirmed?Regards.


do you mind saying what prepaid visa--sm
Do you know what card they use or what the name on the card it? Is this for IC or employee?

I have been looking into getting a prepaid visa or mcard for direct deposit. There are several I have found online, but among other things to consider, I am still unclear what the fees are or just how they work.

Thanks in advance if you know the answer to the card name.
Prepaid Visa Card for payment

PMT IN WASHINGTON
They won't pay you, they will treat you like garbage and emotionally and psychologically abuse you. They are a husband and wife team, and are both satan as far as I'm concerned.  Rumor has it they outsource as well.  Work out of Puyallup.
Washington
For those of you that are wondering, the horrible company that I am referring to is Voice Transcription in Washington state. There is actually an ad on the Job Seeker's Board for VR editors. Don't apply for this company, unless of course you want to go through all the pain that I have!!
Washington, GA

Yah, I'm from Washington
In typing it, I should have put mom and pop setup. TNI is in Washington. Confusing when it went through as MA and PA. In other words, the company is run by a husband and wife team, or at least it was. Sorry about that! :)

2,000 debit card
When your boss gives you your paycheck, do they ask what are you going to do with that money?  Didnt think so.  Same thing for the people of the gulf coast.  They lost their jobs, their homes.  The money they will be given will be in lieu of a paycheck till they can find another job and home.  Its a paycheck from the govt.
Debit card use
I know the credit card companies charge the place of business a fee or percentage when you use your credit card but does anyone know if it costs them every time you use a debit card, does the business pay a fee?   Our apartment complex just offered the option of automatic checking account deduction because they said it costs them less than credit/debit.
debit card
Usually my purchases show up right away, unless its a holiday weekend and I use the debit card like a credit card instead; then its usually the next business day before those purchases show up. However, if I use it like a regular debit card, holiday or not the purchases show right away.
pizza and denzel washington

pizza gives you different food categories and you can "doctor" pizza for variety by adding pineapples or other things you could find on the island.  denzel is a manly man, charming, funny and intelligent.    if drink is added cold beer (corona with lime) would go great with my pizza.


I live in Washington state up in

the Cascade mountains. 


The only AC I have on is a small wall unit in my office when I type, but don't really need it very much.  Everybody wants to move up here.  Yikes, housing prices going up because of that.  I have a 1650 square foot house, 4 bedrooms, not too big, not too small.  Just hubby, 2 dogs and myself.  No water bill because we are on our own well.  No sewer bill because we are on a septic.  Use propane for the water heater and heat in the winter, about $500 bucks gives me half a tank, but that lasts us almost a whole year.   We don't use the central heat very much in the winter, just wall units.  Also, thinking of putting in a wood stove for heat.


transortho out of Washington State
Does anyone know about this company transortho.com out of Washington State?  Input would be appreciated
Just got a debit card this week, trying to
get away from credit cards and be more responsible with $$ and out of debt.   There was a pamphlet in with the card that gave a list of when to use credit and when to use debit and pretty much 99% of the time they suggested using credit.  The biggest pro to using credit is that if there is a dispute over a purchase you can get the charged credited, at least temporarily, but not with a debit - at least that is what the pamphlet led me to believe.  Not a usual occurrence, though nice to have that protection. 
if you use your debit card for gas purchase (SM)
make sure you realize that some companies (Shell is really really bad to do this) will reserve extra funds on your debit card until the transaction completes and releases those funds 24-72 hours later. With Shell, it is $75 over your purchase. I nearly fainted when I realized what was happening. You can go on MSN Money and find a few articles on this -- gas companies reserving funds on your debit card.
Paypal debit card
We have a Paypal debit card that we can use just like any other check card/debit card. It just draws from the funds from your Paypal account. You can use it at the store, etc., and at the ATM. Even paying an ATM fee to get out cash would be less than the $10 charge to transfer. You might check on it.

What news channel? I have to use my debit as a credit at stores and such. NM

First, a prepaired debit card is not attached to your bank at all. SM

It is a separate account set up for use with your prepaid debit card only.  No checks.  No bank.  And with the prepaid card, they cannot withdraw money without your prior authorization.  Your employer can only deposit money if your employer provides a signed DD form with your signature on it.


I've never had any problems with my card.  I feel pretty secure.  I do pay bills with my card, but rather than authorize a recurring monthly charge (which you can do), I opt to manually get on the money card website and pay each bill, each month.  So consider this.  Once you authorize a recurring bill payment, it sometimes takes an act of God to stop it.

I live in Washington state and the health department posted it on the internet.
Here is the link to the information for this state, but every state probably has the same thing.

Yes, yes and yes!!! I had so many offers...

after I graduated that I was shocked!  The standard 2-year experience requirement was waived by every company I contacted. 


Yes, M-Tec is totally a self-paced, self-study program, but there is also incredible 1-on-1 instructor support.  The program is very comprehensive and definitely not easy but well worth every penny! 


If you want a career as an MT, you can't go wrong with M-TEC. 


 


CPL offers
are usually set in motion by what the MTSO is receiving in pay from the facility. As a small MTSO, I am very much restricted by what the facilities are willing to pay me as a vendor. It is an unfortunate circumstance, but it is a sign of the times. There are MTs willing to the work for 8 CPL, and if not, the Nationals outsource it overseas. I think that sums it up in a nutshell....It is a shame, but it is where the industry has gone of late. EMR, VR and outsourcing cutting into what a MTSO can get from the facilities for line rates. Sad but true....I hope you find what you're looking for.
I am not a CMT and I get job offers all of the
much unless you like having initials after your name.  It is not like you can put it on your reports.  XXX/xxx, CMT - can you?  So no one but the company you work for (who probably doesn't care) and you will know... nobody else.  Most CMTs complain they aren't compensated enough anyway, so who gives a hoot?  The only benefit I see is having initials after your name, which unless you are in this field, who knows what that means?  Sounds important, but to have to pay hundreds to test and then to fail only to have to pay hundreds to take it again?????  I'd think that one over and over and over and over... JMO.  A penny more a line???  Just seek out your own account and you'll make lots of extra pennies per line...  believe me!
It is only because no one offers that anymore

I don't think anyone offers PT MTs benefits - sm
at least I have NEVER heard of any. I don't think I have ever even heard of any PT job that had benefits. All you can do is start making phone calls to said companies and ask them. Good luck.
Just because someone offers their opinion,...
and it differs from another's, does not make it negative.  You didn't hear what you wanted to hear in my responses, but that does not mean I am being negative toward you.  I just think you need to do your own work.  Asking for help is one thing, and asking for a handout is entirely different.
You may not need all that MPWord offers.

I've looked at MP Word several times myself and it just more than I need, although in a different setting/situation, I may need all the options. If you have a choice and you have MS Word available to you, you will be fine. You should have an encryption method available to you; WinZip offers encryption with it's Pro version, about $50.


Just something else for you to consider.


When you take on too much work. Getting 2 PT job offers plus have FT with national (sm)

Two local doctors offering me 2-3 hours per day each, plus the FT (about 6 actual hours of typing a day) with a national. 


One doctor is orthopedic, the other vascular surgeon (H&Ps in office).  One is a mumbler, the other has a lisp.  The national job is radiology (fairly easy - would be faster if I could master IT, though).


What should I do?  Am afraid I will take on more than I can handle and at same time, refuse a job that I later will regret.  I need the money, needless to say.  Anyone ever face this? 


I wonder if the state where you live offers
In Georgia they do have this, and a person who is convicted of a felony and completes the sentence requirements then has their rights restored, such as voting and the ability to officially answer "No" when asked about a felony conviction. Supposedly the information would not be available to a potential employer and most others, though I believe some are still privy to the information.
Does anyone know if IT offers a trial period? sm

From the comments on this post and the post I placed yesterday, I am convinced I would like to try IT.  I hate to spend $189 though and not like it but I do not see on their web site where they offer a money back trial period.  Also, do you know if you download it and have it immediately or if it comes in the mail? Thanks to all who have offered their opinions, it really helps!


Whoa, are you blessed! You see offers out here for 6-8 cpl
