Do at home transcriptionists receive any type of benefits?
Working at home is actually a benefit in itself. Because you work out of your home this can mean a substantial savings. This savings can consist of day care costs, clothing expenses, traveling expenses, meal expenses, and even time that is taken unpaid. With all of these components taken into consideration, a transcriptionist working at home earning 20K part time can substantially increase his/her earning power by just tacking on the savings stated above. This can amount to as much as 10K per year thus increasing earnings to 30K per year. Another factor is substantial tax savings related to using your home as an office. This too can increase your earnings substantially. As for benefits themselves, over the past few years many companies are now offering medical benefits, paid time off, pension plans, life insurance, etc. So all in all, being a transcriptionist can be very, very lucrative.
