A high turnover rate means all the good MTs
Posted By: FedUP on 2008-09-15
In Reply to: Apparently you did, and you need one! - sm
leave and only MTs left at the company are probably the ones who had trouble getting the job they have let alone leaving to find a new one. That's what a high turnover rate means. Not to mention, why would anyone want to work for a company with a high turnover rate? Something's wrong if people keep leaving.
It's called logic and deductive reasoning. And some people in this neck of the cyber woods are sorely lacking in both.

Actually, a high turnover rate more likely means
that the GOOD MTs are staying put and the MTs who had to cheat on their test and/or lie during their interview, have no experience, or are just job hoppers tend to run off when they can't hack the accounts they have been assigned.
High turnover rate with good reason; email for info.

Very high turnover rate at this company (sm)
You have to ask yourself why do they lose so many employees. This is not an MT oriented company. I would say that they constantly advertise because they regularly lose MTs.
High turnover rate? I don't think so. I have worked with the same group sm
for the past 2 years and the only change has been that the account got busier and 5 or 6 people were added. Keystrokes is a great company, and they do a lot for all of us.
High turnover.......
I live in New Jersey and this is a not a good company to work for....read the old posts about this company in the Archives. Not a good company....
Very high turnover....
They always keep running the same ad every 3 weeks or so, so that should tell you something about them. I did not like testing for them at all, so I just gave up! Horrible dictators.
High turnover of MTs. Inconsistent workload. SM
I have a friend who works there. I've resisted the urge to join her because she hates it, but it pays well. The owner can't seem to manage workflow and threatens MTs with cutting them off if they don't work extra. Now that makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? I don't need the hassle. Proceed with caution.
Reason for high turnover of MTs I guess

How do you know there is high turnover? The companies I have worked for get new accounts. sm
They hire because of having more work, not because their current MT's are leaving.
Some of the companies hire constantly because of turnover but most do because of growth.
The BS that MQ has done over the past few years has opened up a lot of new business for many good companies and it looks like that will continue for a while until CBay either runs it to the ground or converts all the accounts they possibly can.
Huge turnover at OSi. They have lost most of their good employees and are
Me thinks this nutcase is asking and answering questions here hoping to get people to apply.
Check the archives here on OSi....bad news!!!
MQ-New Testing for high tier pay rate
one more thought for the evening on the tier pay rates
are these rates for new hires or will our rate of pay be adjusted according to the stated tier
and does the testing only apply for new hires
any where on the packet does it actually state what your present rate is and if not, and all the packets being sent out are the same, why were we all called--do we have to sign anything and send it back to MQ and when does all this go into effect
thanks for all your help
That would be high line count not rate. Sorry about that. NM

For Escription I think 4 to 4.5 base rate, which seems to be on the high
end of the scale that companies pay for Escription editing. Hope that helps.
High line rate versus possible lines per hour....
I'd like your opinions... I think it's more important to be able to produce a high line count than what your actual cents per line rate is. $0.10/line means nothing to me if I have to struggle to produce 200 lines per hour because of their format or platform. I'd rather make $0.07/line if I can count on producing 500 lines per hour.
Just something to think about when you interview with a potential employer who tries to dazzle you with a high line rate. I always ask about the average line counts and if they have auto-populated headings. We don't get paid for auto-populated headings (which can make a significant difference in our line counts), yet I'm sure the service bills the hospital for them.
I misread that, phew! I couldn't believe the offshore rate was THAT high (yet anyway). nm

Pays per page, top rate less than what I made 10 yeasr ago, benefits high
.
She means Webmedx - which pays VR at 70% of your normal line rate. nm
.
Seems 11 cpl is pretty high, good luck finding that one
Keep us updated please.
Good company. Pays higher than many. Very high
Pay is always on time (early if payday is on a holiday). Good transcription software. Approachable, friendly management. Benefits okay. (Blue Cross). Also eye & dental. 401K that they also contribute to. Pretty much straight typing, not much in the way of templates. VR in place on some accounts. Currently MT has the choice of using it or not. All in all, I'm satisfied with working there.
Shouldnt that be a good thing? Means we are in TAT.

Good for you. I've gained 10 pounds since high school graduation in 1976.
WebMedX is a good company. Decent pay for high level acute care
They have excellent account managers and a great QA dept. The platform is really quite easy with the improvements they have made, and they are constantly working to make it even better. Everything is geared to making the MT's job easier. I have been with WMX for over a year and I am quite pleased with them.
I'm high level 4, all acute care, high ESL, many years exp. and highest QA grades...
In case you are wondering...All acute care, all specialties. I request new accounts, and yet they all run out of work...not just during usual slow periods...
I'm original poster and a high level 4 as well with high ESL accts, which I've always had...sm
My accts (10+) for the previous 12 years were all in the LA area. I consider ESL at Webmedx easy, even though my WebmedX accts are supposed to be high ESL. ALL of my STMs accounts are low on work--quite low. I've added more accounts. Not helpful if all are low in work. My supervisor at MQ was more helpful than my Webmedx STM.
They are not MT, but general transcription. Pay not very high. at least not as high as MT work.x

that is a good rate, is it IC
do they pay spaces and how is the work
It's a good rate af pay
and what I see more often. First, it is not only $8 per hour as you say in your post, but a base of $8 plus the production incentive. I make as much as I did before the new plan and I am very happy with my position. They must be doing something right as we always have work and I enjoy editing the reports on my account. The people at Medware are great. As I mentioned before, if you do not like the new pay plan why do you not transcribe? Medware's line rates are competitive and they have a good insurance plan.
Not really a good rate at all. VR can be
just as challenging with its small errors as MTs. There are many VR reports that have to be completely redone by the editor.
The pay is an insult to the profession. Line pay is an insult to the profession.
Would this be a good rate? 7 cpl at
A line equals 55 black-characters per line, whatever that means.
what is a good rate
To this poster and anyone else who cares to reply, what is a fair line rate for a very good Transcriptionist with 3+ years experience, who types clinic notes in a variety of specialties (10+) also op notes and ER reports...at 65 characters per line (spaces counted), with about 10% of notes sent to QA, who is accustomed to typing for 8-9 different dictators in an 8-hour shift about half of whom are LEP--limited English proficient (both English first-language and English as second language)? I'd really like to hear your thoughts on what such an MT should be earning. Thanks
What is a good rate for ASR
5-6 cpl is the most I've heard of. Generally half of straight line rate. ASR puts in words that aren't there, leaves out ones that are, a lot of complete nonsense. Occasionally it does come up with a word you might have to look up, like an instrument name. Usually have to retype 50-75% of it. Not worth it for the time it takes to do. Just another way to lower our pay and increase the MTSOs. But it's the wave of the future, until they come up with something else.
Is this a good rate?
I will be interviewing with a local transcription company tomorrow and the owner has offered the following rate: 5.50 per 1000 words with each 5 Keystrokes counting as a word. Has anyone been paid this way and, if so, was it fair?
The platform they use is Microsoft Word, but other than that I do not know any further details.
Is this a good pay rate?
I was offered a position doing primarily clinic notes and letters to referring physicians at a rate of $5.50 per 1000 words. I know much depends on the dictators, time spent looking up referring physician info, etc, but wondered if anyone else has been paid this way and how it might actually translate into dollars per hour.
It seems everywhere I haved worked they have a different and creative way of paying their transcriptionists!
Its a very good starting rate
I just wanted to know how they start NEW MTs at 9.5 and can only pay the old ones 8-9 cents?? Just don't seem right.
Is 8.5 cpl w/spaces a good rate?
What about 10 without spaces
So, ETMT, what is a good rate?

Is 5 cpl a good rate for eScription VR? I have no
experience in this VR software and have no idea if this rate is good or not. Please help. TIA
What is a good rate for editing ASR
I'm sure there are many different platforms, and I don't have any info on the platform I will be using, but I have been told on the account I currently work on, I will soon have a choice of editing Speech or typing. Can you all share recent experiences with Speech platforms and per line rate? Thank you!
Their pay rate is pretty good........
BUT they do tend to run out of work. Everyone that I know, myself included, got started at 10 cpl for typing, 5 cpl for voice recognition. The PROBLEM is you do run out of work too often and they REQUIRE you to clock out when out of work and sit at your keyboard waiting for work. It is possible that you could work 8 hours and make only 20 bucks. So.....if the work was there I guess you could make a good living, but my personal opinion is not so much considering their work flow.
Good line rate, benes and ins.
Have been with Webmedx a while and they offer BCBS, Delta Dental, disability and life ins, plus PTOs. Line rate, supervision, work platform and company are all awesome in my book. Been an MT for 20 years....Good luck. Hope this helps.
Who are the good companies that do ASR and pay a decent rate?
I have been an MT a long time - 19 yrs and I am interested in learning ASR, but I need to get informed and rate, companies, realist expectations on lph, etc. If you can help me out and share your knowledge, I would really appreciate it. TIA. I am going to try to line my e-mail in here, so you can e-mail me if you would like.
good pay rate per minute transcription?
does anyone know what a decent pay rate would be when working for paid by the minute transcription? Also when you are paid per the minute does it just include voice or are all of the minutes included whether voice or just silence. Thanks so much!.
Are they going to hire you at that rate? Good Luck. nm

That is good pay for low line rate. I would be happy with that! nm

What is a good line rate for editing? nm

Radioogy Question: What is a good rate of pay on a per report
basis for transcribing radiology? TIA
So what is a good starting rate for an editor with no experience? nm
Of course, depends on your line rate, but $700.00 is very good for MT right now. I can make over
that if the work is available, and I put in more than 40 hours. I think to make $1000.00 you need to have lots of expansions and dictators with which you are familiar, IMHO.
Radiology pay question..What's a good rate per report for
Radiology reports?? $1.20?? Am considering job offer.
It depends on if this is editing other MT's work or VR. If VR, that is a good rate. nm
nm
Really? I thought it sounded like a good line rate.
