Yes, for now. It won't last forever. nm

Been there forever
Be patient with the recruiter.  Send her an email and tell her you're ready, willing, and eager to get started.  I always have work.  Very professional.  Pay ALWAYS on time.  Just a lot of changes going on with the MT profession in general.  Before anyone says it...I'm not management...just happy MT.
i won't keep this pace forever...
but it is allowing me to pay off my house before we retire, have nice vacations ... live! I got sick of existing and busting my ass is the only way to get anywhere. Nobody is just going to GIVE us life .. you have to grab it, shake it, choke it and then ride it for 8 seconds.
The forever changing AS...
 
They aren't asking you to do this forever either, are they? sm
Looks like a temporary bind in schedule coverage and you'll be able to take a weekend day off later, after your boss gets better coverage. Doesn't seem threatening to me; he or she is asking for your help.
I've been doing this forever (sm)
I started in-house in 1980 and have been at it ever since except for a brief break in about 1995 when I actually (gasp) missed it. My first company job was with TL in a little office they had in Florida. I hadn't thought about them in years. I hate this business, hate it, hate it, hate it, especially since it has changed so much and is crappy for the MTs now, but it's the only thing I know how to do where I can make this kind of money. I regret ever having gotten started in this business.
part-time IC is 5000/pay period and full time IC is 10,000 per pay period. Need to talk with
recruiter about cpl, I'm sure it varies with experience. 
It's been said in the past that pay stays at 7 to 8 cpl forever. nm

Taking FOREVER to get started
Seriously a month. I'm still waiting for all the logins from the hospital. Not Keystrokes fault but I'm starving here.
Not all managers stay forever with OSI and no ax to grind
:)
Nothing good lasts forever. Follow the sm
account to the new national. If you're a good, nontoxic MT, I'm sure you'll get hired in a heartbeat!

Can you provide us with the name of the new national? You seem to be privy of a lot more information than the rest of us.

Thanks.

Forever, people had 2 jobs, not just MTs. And great
This is what i mean by you pilot your life, your life shouldnt just be floating you thru life.  Over the course of about 2 years, I have made conscious effort to make my life work for me. Figured out what platforms I like, what type accts.  What kind of equipment works best for me, how to efficiently handle docs and files.  In word based platform, I am Speedy Gonzales as far as how I get in and out, how I process docs. Still spend same amount of time on actual edit and type, those you can only do so fast and be correct but all other aspects, I am fast. You find your fit, which is not a one size fits all.  But, working 2 jobs is not the territory of onlyl the MT world. My dad did it while my mom also worked as RN. 
I did an acct like that moons ago. It seemed like I was typing forever. Forget it! nm

Sorry dear. Been at this forever..test was not basic knowledge....
Some of it was stuff you'd never come across in 20 years of doing this job, not even once. lol
I typed on a line that long way back when. Would NEVER do it again. Takes forever

Hate the day after a holiday for work -- seems like it takes forever to get my account back up to
speed and getting work available.  Oh, well, I'm just venting this morning because I don't have any work and guess I should be cleaning house instead of sitting on here being frustrated about it.  Have a good one!
Well, you can tell it is the last day of the pay period.
:
16,000/pay period
This is for 2 weeks, correct? You are able to transcribe 8,000 line per week; I can only currently do 6,000
You can always tell the end of the pay period is near.
:
That would have been $73.53 less than MQ last pay period for me n/m

About $9/pay period or you can use yours

Per pay period?
xx
PAY PERIOD
12,000 LINES PER PAY PERIOD OF 15 DAYS, NOT PER WEEK, AND THAT IS ABOUT RIGHT
but pay period
It is like 9500 lines for part time and 12,500 lines for full time per bimonthly pay period
I do 16K to 20K every pay period sm
These last 3 weeks have been terrible for work load. I cleared 16,000 for this pay period, but it cost my body. I worked evenings helping out when there was too much work and and had to hunt and peck during my shift. It was Spring Break and anyone who does much acute care will tell you, work is SLIM during that time. I still got my lines, however.

Regularly, and I work 1st shift, I get about 1500 to 1650 WITHIN my shift. I don't have a lot of normals, but I have an outstanding expander. I am reaching for 18K every 2 weeks, but I am not quite there. I have not been with the company 90 days yet, I am new.


No , only about 10.00 a pay period
nm
not $50 per pay period ... sm
What she meant was, the computer is a $300 deposit, it is taken out over 6 payperiods at $50 per pay period. After that, there is no fee for the computer and if you leave and they get their computer back, you get your $300 back. just wanted to clarify.
End of pay period!
That's the way it always is. MTs don't make their line count so it waits until the end of the pay period and then they gouge what's there. It's not right but that's what happens.
10,000 by the end of the pay period - sm
so it does not matter how much you do a day, they just want 10,000 lines in the period for FT, 5,000 for PT. I have assigned accounts though, so no pool, I do what comes in on a daily basis, always of 10,000 lines usually about 12-13,000, but some of that is edit at .03 a line.
Must be end of MDI pay period
Little to no work in my primary. 
Then you weren't there for the last pay period which should be DD on the 5th and was not done unt
x
It's $20 per month, not per pay period.


With JLG, You pay $12/pay period for overnight. nm

Family is about $240 or so a pay period
Including dental and vision.
she said period v. semicolon

Period v. semicolon.  Comma should be here or there or not.


How common is Pay Period at net 30?
Was made offer to start with a company, have to work 30 days, then pay is net 30!  That's 2 months without income.  How common is this?  I  know they're are not going to pay until they get paid.  Yikes!
11,000 a week - do u mean pay period??
x
How do you do this Jo? In an 8 hour period? I believe you, just want to know How!
I am with Keystrokes and I can't do it. Hats off to you. What platform? I have seen fast typists do this before.
No holiday. It's the end of the pay period sm

Nearly always low the Monday beginning the new pay period. Never fear, we'll be buried by Wednesday again. 


11,000 lines per pay period. nm

It's important to ask if you will have 20,000 a pay period
xx
it says 64 dollars a pay period, below
nm
Do they still move the end of the pay period whenever they like.
They weren't bad to work for but that drove me crazy. I had it in my mind that the end of the pay period was on Sunday so I would work my schedule around that. So say on Friday I would think, Great, 2 more days on this pay period just to find out they were cutting it off on Saturday. I believe this was some bizarre attempt to be able to make payroll by cutting the pay periods short. I could understand if it was once or twice but it happened too many times and I find that made me nervous and wondering why you would changes pay periods so quickly without real notice. The company I work for now has their pay period dates set in stone for the whole year so I know exactly when the pay period ends and when I get paid.
Is that $12,000 per pay period or 12,000 keystrokes

I had no idea the QA period was your
testing period and that they would oust you if you didn't do well.  Glad I did okay. 
After probation period
The first year you get 3.5 days.  After 1 year you get 10 days.
Not true for me. I do 300 LPH but not over 10,000/period. SM
It is certainly NOT their intent to give us a bonus raise, although no MT company would do that these days.
I type 15,000 a pay period

I work 7-hour shifts and I range no less than 1500 lines a day.


Same here. I'm only saving $11.54 a pay period
but they almost take it all away with the vision.  After all the trouble to get insurance in the first place, now we had to do it all over again. I only got my cards from the old insurance at the end of March!
Axolotl is 51.31 per pay period for
medical, $3.73 for dental, and free vision.   Very good insurance if you are in network, so/so if you are out of network. 
Have you gotten paid yet? They said pay period
