K&R Consulting, Inc - no name

Posted: May 21, 2010

Can anyone give me heads up for this company. Sounds like VA work. They say hiring IC and employee but offer no benefits and the positions are IC or statuatory.

Thanks

They pay per VBC - very low pay.

Yes, definitely not a good thing but from what I have learned, all VA's will be doing that (VBC) as old contracts expire and new ones are signed.

The VA is changing over to the VBC, but the thing that gets me is that these companies are now trying to pay the same line rate they paid previously, but without spaces. I just flat out refuse to work for that. You have to jump through a lot of hoops to be a VA transcriptionist-security clearance, etc. (I am personally a security cleared VA MT with many years of experience), so why on earth would anyone work for such a low rate after going through all of that when they can find better paying work elsewhere. If we continue to accept this low pay rate, that will be the future of the business. I only support locally owned and operated-type transcription companies from here on out! Support the little guys!!!

I agree that the VBC stinks, esp at the current rate of pay... I have worked for VA for almost 10 years so have jumped thru the same hoops, i.e., security clearance, etc... Luckily for now, the current contract I work under does not expire until Jan. 2011, but after that, it's anyone's guess how long many of their dedicated transcriptionist's will stick around for the stinky pay rate minus spaces, etc. I agree with you 200% regarding the smaller, locally owned places and would much rather be with one of them as opposed to the huge conglomerates (sp?) out there now. So cheers to the little guys!!

I hope they see that you get what you pay for. I know some people don't have a choice and they've got to work somewhere, but, man, keep looking! Locally owned and operated, trim the corporate fat. Don't let the Walmart mentality take over our industry completely.

Anyone have any current info on K&R or KNR Consulting? Seems they use both names? Says they have VA rad work as an IC?

Any pos or neg? I know they don't pay for spaces but they're willing to pay me 1 more cent than I'm currently making...wondering if it would kind of even out. But, I don't want to work all day for low line count. I know I won't have benefits, but I'm willing to live without them for a bit. I do like the idea of making my own schedule. ...

I admit, this is a huge pet peeve of mine. The consulting physician is the one who goes to see the patient at the request of the REFERRING physician.

I would discourage anyone from considering working for this woman. She is a nightmare, nasty and has no respect or regard for MTs. One of the nastiest people I have ever encountered. I have since learned from others that they were treated in a similar fashion. What goes around, comes around! ...
