11 cpl 55 character line, MTSO in California

For california MTSO's. Are you charging 65 cpl or gross line?
Trying not to price myself out of the market.  Thanks for the help.
Go to MTChat and ask California self-employed MTs or do a SEARCH in LOCAL MTs for California. We ha

its curiosity!
i work for a national, 5 yr now. Never have seen anyones face. Have been invited to office parties if i wanted to travel a distance...

sometimes my co's personnel are more friendly than professional...sometimes not. I've had personal e/m's from a couple (QA)

I've wondered if the reality of those faces would match my voice impressions, but it doesn't really bother me to never see them. Now if they had 4 legs, i'd be more inclined to visit!!
Just out of curiosity...
What sort of home businesses are you involved in? I also have a home business I am truly enjoying, but for now I just do it as a supplemental income for the extra things. I have become a PartyLite consultant and have been doing this for about the last two months. I really enjoy getting out of my house and having shows selling great quality candles (which I love myself) and meeting new people. Hope you find another true passion and have fun doing it! Good luck to you!

why would you substitute 3 Keystrokes (sxy) for 2 keystrokes (60)? I don't find numbers any harder to type than letters, so for me this is just adding keystrokes.
Just out of curiosity...
How long have you been an MT? I had planned to take the test last summer after being an MT for 4 years, but didn't feel prepared. I'm going to do a lot more studying and take it next year. Just wondered how long you've been an MT that the test was no sweat. In my prep last spring, I discovered there was a lot of stuff I knew, but there was also a lot of stuff I didn't! That's why I decided not to take it.
out of curiosity...
where did you receive your training? I know this is kind of OT, but I am thinking of doing MT and am still researching.

You could check out the job board or search "companies that hire newbies". It returned a few entries for me that have lists of companies that hire new MTs. Good luck with your search!

Someone who is currently employed could probably help you out more but maybe that will help for a start.

What platform did go from and go to? Did that make sense?

I can tell it's Monday and my mind isn't fully in logical mode yet, lol!
curiosity, yeah right
and who in the heck do you think you are to tell me this isn't where i can present MY point of view???? Excuuuuuse me -- was this a gripe-only board for sourpuss' like yourself?? If so, let the administrator tell me so, and you can just go on an wallow in your self-imposed misery.
Out of curiosity, is UnitedTran the same as TranSCAM? - nm

Out of curiosity, what are the ridiculous demands?
Just curious what they might be. 
Now you've piqued my curiosity
What is the book about?
Out of curiosity, how soon do you think they should be able to accomplish a decent amount?

I check jobs in my specialty out of curiosity.
Have only applied for three in a year though and those were to possibly replace a PT job I have with a better PT job. The FT job I have I am content with for now.

Be careful not to become known as applying all over the place. This is when it is a good time to get information from the Company board when you see an opening. Be sure you want to be considered before you apply. It is a small MT world with the better companies. This is my thought anyway.
I'd be lyin' if I said my curiosity wasn't piqued...
So, what else is there to do in this field of transcription (with a national) that isn't just a lateral move?  
Curiosity piqued.....whatcha excited 'bout??? nm

You shouldn't be going off on your own to pull patient charts for your own curiosity!!! nm

California MT's
Does anyone know why companies are unwilling to hire people who live in the state of California?
california MT's

So far we have been told by 2 companies that they will not hire from California,  I am waiting on a reply from a recruiter who is checking into it.  I think it may have something to do with the OT laws and the highest employment taxes in the nation.


Sucks Though!

Yes, they are a great company.
California's is $11 or $12/hour...sm

whereas Florida is bumping it up to $6.15 an hour next month I do believe or next year sometime....2006.


It's all relative when you think about housing costs, like in california.....you could live in a dump and it might cost a half million.

Cold in California

Chance of snow tonight near Fresno.  I know this is not your kind of cold, but for us it's unusual.



I live in California (sm)
Actually, they get quite a bit of time off in year-round school. My daughter started school July 24 and will go to the 1st part of October and then be off all October. Then she'll get two weeks off at Christmas/New Year's. Then she'll go until February and have that whole month off. Then she goes until the end of May and is off all of June and most of July until she starts 2nd grade. It makes it easy to plan vacations because we know when she'll be off, and we don't always have to plan a vacation when everyone else in the world is. We actually enjoy it!
Still 2.69 in central California. nm

In-house pay in No. California is $22-30
.
Come to California and you'll fit right in (sm)

with all of us fat MTs    And California is usually a "skinny, healthy" state - not that I've seen of in-house, hospital MTs, at least here in Northern California. 


IMHO, you will do better working in-house in a "liberal" area or state, or employee-oriented state, because major employers know not to go there, or else


California MTs: Please see inside
Are we required to have a business license in California for IC transcription work? 
In California pay is $20-21/hour.

You don't do the work in California, do you?
If you are not physically in California doing the work, then you don't owe them tax money.

I would not fill the form out.
Not EVERYWHERE in California is expensive
I live in a rural area near Napa. It's a LOT chaaper here (home prices and rent) than in SoCal where I moved from last summer. California is a big state, lots of places to settle down. Have to take time to really look.
California Transcription LLC

HELP!!!!  Can anyone tell me anything about California Transcription LLC????  I think it used to be called California Transcription Unlimited, but I'm not sure about that.  Was just offered an overflow account with them, IC, but they only pay monthly, so I will end up typing for 6 weeks before I see a paycheck!!  This is not a problem for me, but my only concern is that they are legit and actually pay people.  Would hate to find out at the end of June that they are rip-off artists. 


I REALLY need some input here gang.  Does anyone on here work for them now or in the past, or know anything about them???  Thanks!!!


Thank you for the info--what city in California?
That isn't as good as I'd expect.

Jury duty in California
Everybody heard the answers to the questions; what did I do for a living, have I ever been a juror, had I ever been in a car accident, things that might pertain to that certain case.  It was a car accident in a parking lot.  I actually got chosen for the panel and was fighting staying awake through the whole thing it was soooooo boring.  After sitting in that hard chair for nearly 8 hours on the first day, I got up and could hardly walk.  I had developed a DVT sitting in that same spot all day and could no longer be a juror (oh darn).  Because of this, I cannot be called for jury duty anymore. 
If anyone from California gets a chance - go to the GAB Board sm
my post was moved there, and I'm so afraid that no one will see it. 
California MTs and OT laws - Question for ya.

Hey there,


I work for Spheris.  My supervisor just informed me that from this point forward, I cannot work OT.  


 Are there any Spheris MTs from California who could e-mail me about what I could do as a cut in pay right now is devastating. 


 There are exceptions for people who do piece work I have read and wonder if there is a way to get around this.  I am paid by exam and sup says when I work 2 minutes OT, they have to pay me OT for every exam, plus if I work over 5 days, OT for the whole week, or over 8 hours, OT for the hourly pay...


Needless to say, I am devastated by this... as I live alone.  Need I say more?  ::sigh::


My SIL visited me in Georgia from California
and she was shocked to see what kind of home we could get here for under $250,000 compared to what they have where she lives. Her thinking was my community was really high in cost when no home goes for over $450,000. The prices are really great here.

If this information is correct, I  for one am happy if my employer makes money.  Let's take a poll...has anyone out there ever benefitted from working for a company that lost money/had to go belly up? 


Hope California would join the two states
doing the protest soon!!!
Actually, I lived in California my ENTIRE life...
until moving to Utah for the past several years.  Utah state tax is ldefinitely lower, but I NEVER paid 40% while living in CA.  We're moving back after the first of the year, and our biggest worry is the cost of houses, not the taxes.
