Nuance employee here - anonymouse
Posted: Jun 02, 2011
Here I sit waiting for work once again. So far since 9 pm, there has been nothing, not one dictation. So basically, I am watching tv and surfing the net in between checking the computer for work. I have 2 accounts too. That's what's so bad. Two accounts and no work. Hopefully, I can get a job at a local hospital soon.
You are not alone - Alice
[ In Reply To ..]Been there and done that. I was on 3rd shift last year and experienced the same thing, didn't stay long. One of my accounts disappeared "mysteriously", but it took about 2 weeks to find out the truth. It had been "transferred" to India.
And yet they are still hiring... - sucker punch
[ In Reply To ..]Just saw an ad on here the other day about how they were adding new accounts every month.
I just recently left the company, and I know that they were mandating OT on some of their accounts. Maybe they can give you another backup?
BTW, I didn't leave because of the work flow - I left because of the pay cuts.

Really feeling upset – a Nuance recruiter just called me, trying to get me to work there again (I left 2 years ago). She first tried to seduce me with a 2k sign on bonus, refused to email me anything in writing regarding their current line bonuses and rate of pay. I told her I might contact some former coworkers and ask them if things have truly improved or this was just the usual bait and switch. She then ended with threats that they won’t stop until they have caused eve ...

Is there a starting pay or is everyone paid differently? 2. Is there a schedule or is it flexible? 3. What kind of benefi ...

Which Is Better, Employee Or IC?
Dec 16, 2014
I am a part time employee of an MTSO. In California the min wage is $9/hr, which means at 0.85/line for editing my LPH must add up to $9, while MTs in other states may only have to make $7.50 or so to remain employed. My Team Leader said that is somewhat unfortunate for me; as a 1 year out-of-school newbie I'm not as fast as other MTs. A few years ago I was an IC and I recall they did have a minimum line count per day but I don't recall having to produce more than ...

Statuatory Employee
Apr 27, 2010
Curious to know if anyone on this board is a statuatory employee with the company they are working for and outside of the company paying your SS tax and FWT, do you get any type of benefit, i.e., PTO, health, etc. Is it strictly just for tax purposes? Would you get a W2? Do you have to adhere to a schedule? I was a "stat" employee many years ago, when I first started and don't remember if it was just for the tax thing or if I got any benefit/s also. Thanks for any info. ...

IC Versus Employee
May 14, 2011
This post is not what you probably thought it was going to be. I am not going to list the pros and cons of being an IC or am employee. It appears that MTSOs are "fudging" on these two classifications of workers to get the advantages. For example, as an IC you make your own hours. There is no schedule; that is the nature of being an IC. Yet these MTSOs want you to work a set schedule. Another example: You are hired as an employee. Because you're an employee, you shoul ...
