hello: just wondering if anyone can tell me what companies provide computers? i worked for medigrafix and medquist before.. have been thinking about getting back into transcription but now.. i have to use a company provided computer. thanks for the info. ...
I am thinking about getting back into medical transcription and wondered if there are any companies that provide a computer. I am not interesting in MQ. I don't think there is much job security there anymore, especially since the CEO made that pretty clear in his recent article. ...
I'm just talking about employees here, not ICs. It amazes me that as a company employee, we would not be provided the most important tool we need to work with all set up to company specs, loaded with company s/w. If we worked on site, would we be expected to bring in our own computers? I don't think so.
Thanks. ...
The company I work for provides no documentation of what they are paying me for, not even on my pay stub. There is a way to check on the system but it isn't consistent with what I get paid. Any comments? ...
I noticed the Keystrokes ad asking that employees provide their own computer. Are there any instances where they would provide the computer for the employee? ...
Does anyone know which companies provide the equipment? I need a job desperately. I bought a new computer (HP Pro with Windows 7) but my USB infinity foot pedal will not play the transcription files. I have tried everything, even downloading different programs that were supposed to make it work and still nothing. I installed a foot pedal tester, which shows the foot pedal working, but it won't link up to the files when I test. I need to find a company that will provide the equipment qui ...
What are some companies that provide the equipment needed to work from home (computer, foot pedal, etc.). I have worked outside the home doing transcription for nine years and now would like to work from home, mainly due to the fact that I cannot find an outside job, but I do not have any equipment and cannot afford it right now. ...
I know this has been asked before in other posts, but was unable to locate them. Any info you have would be great, as well as a comment on the companies suggested. Really looking hard at Webmedx right now. Thanks! ...
There's just ONE, eensy-weensy little problem with MT companies providing their employees with a 401K as one of their benefits:
What person on a measly MT's earnings can afford to put anything into it????? I can't spare even a dollar at the end of each pay period, and haven't been able to put anything into even a savings account for years.
Did it ever occur to them that a retirement account is USELESS if you don't pay your employees enough to fund it?
...
The company I'm working for has no way to verify my line count on line, nor do they provide a count on my paystub. I have no way to verify the lines they are paying me for. Is this legal? ...
Looking for a new gig, but my laptop is Vista and low on memory. Want to find a company that will let you borrow/rent one from them besides MQ and Transcend. Any ideas? ...
Please do not slam me if this is a dumb question but I am confused. If a company supplies the computer and equipment and you still work part time with another company, how can I have 2 computer going/set up short of getting another desk to put it on? I have never worked this way before. ...
I tried to post this on the company board but I guess that was the wrong place. So I am sorry for having made that error. I'm new to the forum, so I do apologize for any mistakes I make posting going forward and well in advance of making them. I do hope that I am putting this on the right board; however, if I am not some direction in that regard would be appreciated as well. Where does a post like this belong exactly? I do need some objective help with th ...
It only takes Googling phrases like "celebration day", "recognition day", "remembrance day" and such to prove to yourself that we are a nation of celebrators, recognizers and rememberers. To name but a few:
National Doctors Day - March 30
National Nurses Day - May 6
National POW Day - 3rd Friday in September
Make a Difference Day - 4th Saturday in October
Earth Day - April 22
Administrative Professionals Day - April 25
International Chocolate Day - September 13
World Alzheimer Day ...
Basically, it's been working out fine until one day last week when I received an email from the transcription manager saying that was "short on my time" on one specific day. I was confused because while I agreed to work first shift on specific days, I wasn't aware that I was strictly held to a specific schedule and wondered how they were keeping track of my hours worked because I do not punch a time clock. I assume they are keeping track of the hours I'm logged onto th ...
With the nature of world affairs and US relations such as they are, I can't help but think how wrong it is for companies in general, but specifically MTSOs, to be sending highly sensitive information overseas the way they do. It scares me to think about my social security number, date of birth, address, etc. being handled by someone who doesn't necessarily feel the sense that they must protect that information. Maybe instead of complaining about how much work is being offshored, we s ...
I just read on line that today is a national holiday in India. I was reading about the trial of the men who raped and killed that girl and the court will reconvene on Monday as today is a national holiday over there. I wonder if that will mean more work for us? Ya think??!! ...
