Oh, no! I didn't renew PC Shorthand license before it expired!

Apparently starting in March, we will have to start paying for our own shorthand program. Does anyone have any idea what this would cost, and do you know if we have to renew it each year? At the rate I'm losing work, I'm afraid it will cost me one whole paycheck. ...

Just wondering how we are supposed to be able to afford a new shorthand license on the type of pay we have. I noticed that it is up in 17 days. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is having a problem with this. Just wanted to gripe. ...

From my sup: "I just received word that Shorthand licenses will not be renewed at the next expiration. Most of you use the expanders in Fluency, so are not affected. I believe there are still a few of you who use Shorthand still, you may want to use this advance notice to transition over to the word expander in Fluency." This so upsets me! ...

Woman warrior transcriptionists.... really this industry has hit bottom. The TAA certification re: Medquist, which was established to allow MQ employees deprived of humane treatment a chance at (gasp!) higher education has expired. Does ANYONE know how or who can get another one going? The problem of outsourcing has not stopped, and it will only get worse, we know this. ...

Has anyone had the misfortune to call SUPPORT and get Kaspersky re-licensed or whatever they need to do? If so, what did they do? Do they have to access your computer to update/re-license it? I hate having to call them to begin with and even more so having them access my computer. I'm assuming this is something we can't take care of on our own right? ...

I was in the middle of working on a file on ExpressScribe Pro and a box popped up saying that it had expired and that I would have to purchase it. It had said at the top that it was licensed and my name. I was having issues with playing the files and they sent me an update link to fix it. Now a month later it tells me that my program has expired and that I have to purchase it. I am so frustrated right now and NCH will not answer my questions anymore or respond in any way ...

Any one know how to update it. i can't find a link on MModal Central. They used to have a link in the software repository. ...

I had read there is a truly free version of Express Scribe, but I downloaded that from their site and it expired after 14 days, before I even got to start working. I read that you can uninstall the software then download again, but when I try to reinstall, iI get a pop-up stating my trial has expired and will not let me re-download. I even emptied my recycle bin of every trace of Express Scribe and can't find anything on my computer that would keep me from re-downloading. Am I wrong - is th ...

Under what circumstances would MTs need business licenses? Are they only needed if the MT is running a home office? Working for people in the same state? ...

We should really push for professional licensure for this job like RNs, Rad Techs, RTs, RD, and CNAs. Hospital and clinics require these people to be licensed… then why not us? May this will stop shipping work abroad. ...

If I offer my services as an IC to a company do I need a business license....I dont have others working under me, just tryin' to get the job as an IC. I just noticed in their agreement that I am agreeing that I have a business license b/c I am "offering services to the public". Thanks. ...

Hello again, everyone. Thank you SM for giving me some information on ScribeRight. I am new at this type of position, and there is no guarantee they will call me or even want me, but if they do get in touch, does anyone here know how much an IC license will cost in Ohio and what the cost might be for a certificate for HIPAA ?? I searched several sites and I am not sure what I should be pricing. Thanks everyone. ...

I was informed that I need a business license to work for a company as an IC. My city, county, and state do not require a home-based business that files a schedule C with their tax return to have a license if they do not sell items to the general public and the only employees are family members. Can they cancel my contract for not having a license? ...

Has anyone working as an IC been required to obtain a business license or become an LLC to continue IC status? The company I IC with has been acquired by a new mgt company and they are requiring all IC to do this. ...

Good morning - I'm currently working in a small hospital in WI but looking at doing some work as an IC for the first time. After much googling, emails that are getting me nowhere and phone calls with endless strings of menus to choose from and no real people to speak with, I am at my wit's end with trying to figure out if a business license is required in the state of Wisconsin in order to work as an independent contractor. If it is required, do you know how to go about obt ...

Are there any other legalities that need to be reconciled up front? ...

The company I work for is requiring the IC's to get a business license through our city we live in. However, I live in a very rural area, not a city, so I have no idea how to obtain this license? I contacted my county and they were clueless. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I don't want to lose my job! ...

I have been offered a position as an IC for a company who posted on this website. I was told by them that I needed to obtain a Business License through my State/County in order to work for them. Has anyone had to do this? Is this common practice now for ICs? If anyone has any information on how to do this and if I should do this, please let me know. Thank you so much! ...

I am currently an Exact-Med student. They give each student Speedtype. I had been using it, but my husband updated our Soundcard and then it said that my license for Speedtype was no longer valid. So I had to purchased a new llicense for a "new computer" since by updating the sound card it changed settings on our hard disk. Then we went on vacation and turned our computer off for 2 weeks and when I restarted it, it says my license is not good anymore....don't know why, but apparentl ...

1. I s/w an MTSO today for a potential job. They told me that they are going to be switching platforms and that the new software comes with a 30-day free license but after that, they ask that all MTs pay a $250 license fee. She said it was refundable after employment ended so long as I sign off that I will not use the software anywhere else. This sounds kinda fishy to me, since it seems that this expense should be something paid for by the company. 2.&nbs ...

A company that I applied for is requiring that I have myself and/or my company licensed in my municipality as a businessowner before they hire me to work for them as an IC. I am wondering how do you go about doing this and is this now becoming the "new norm" for working as an IC? This is the first I have ever heard of such other than having to get an employee identification number through the IRS, which I have already done so. I contacted my township supervisor and he said he knew nothing ...

I have an offer to apply. I noted they charge a monthly fee for their license free. I have lots of acute-care experience and I have never paid for anything like that. A little hesitant about that though. Any information would be greatly appreciated. At the present time, I really need a job. Thanks ...

the HR person interviewing you via phone keeps reminding you he has a lot more interviews to conduct the questions you e-mailed (and were encouraged to e-mail) to the HR person go unanswered the HR person says they will decide by Monday and then later states Wednesday, and then later states another date just my experience of late that I thought I would share ...

One space to fill in what you'd like to change about the "culture" and if you wanted to go back and add anything well too bad! I wish I had realized there was only that one place to enter comments. I thought there would be something more like what do you not like about your job? etc. ...
