Anybody know how Acusis pays their editors - hourly or production? Is the pay decent? How flexible are they with scheduling? Is the insurance expensive?
TIA!

New Pay Scale??
I am curious. Many MQ posters have heard about things like 'new pay scales', and I receive no communication whatsoever from MQ. Is it because I don't subscribe to their e-mail? Is this where this information comes from? I mean, they have my e-mail address, but I have never gotten any communication from anyone but an occasional proofer note.
Pay scale.
How much do you make an hour? I require $30 to $40 a hour.
If the pay scale for MT2 is .07 to .09 CPL, then
how do you know which you get, .07, .08, or .09? I currently make .08. If I get a decrease to .07, then, well..........
about their pay scale
Top pay with Trans Tech is 8.5 cpl.
Pay scale
They offer 6 cents per line. Way less than what I get for straight transcription, but I'm just curious as to how much more a straight voice Editor can really produce. If I thought it would be at least the same money and if I knew for sure they were a reputable company, I would do it, but I haven't been able to get much information.
US Editors
How can you say that ALL Indian work is edited by US MTs? Our hospital actually finds the Indian work to be better.
VR editors
Try Transcend.
No, looking for editors for 4 CPL.

Pay for editors.....
I have a small company asking me to recruit editors for them. They hire newbies to give them a chance. They are looking to hire editors around $14.00/hour. Does that sound about right in this day and time? -- Thanks in advance.
Editors
UMMMM.. I do believe that being an MT is an expertise also... and we are wayyyyyy underpaid as MTs.. I don't understand why editors think they are GOD... they never cease to amaze me.
Editors pay
I would like some feedback on what the average editor's pay is. Thanks Sherri
MTs/QAs/Editors
What do you look for in a company that would set it apart from all others out there that would make you choose to go with that employer. We all know there are many of these positions out there but they all seem to be about the same, very little regard for skills and appropriate compensation and very little caring about the MTs that work so hard. I see a lot of people complaining here about one company or another, but I want to know what is the main thing you would like to see changed about this industry. What would make things better? Is it the money, problems with management, job requirements, etc.... Your input is very important. Thanks- You may answer here or by email.
The pay scale is different...sm
I worked for them for about three months but only 12 hours a week. Their payscale really doesn't work well unless you work full time. You couldn't ask for a nicer bunch of folks. You can e-mail me if you like.
pay scale
They may not have job listings for US MTs but they DID have a screening site where you could find out how much your MT skills would be worth with Acusis (in India)...36,000 rupees a year.
(Yes, I did the conversion. It's less than $9000 US.)
MQ pay scale
They run in tiers'' with Tier 3 being the highest topping out at 10 cents. There are very few making top money; most are long-time employees from other companies that were absorbed (bought up)by MQ. I have known several hired in the past couple of years and looks like 7 cents a line is the norm for new hires.
Raises? Certain criteria must be met. I wouldn't count on them.
First,you must not have more than 15% going to QA which will be even more difficult with the national pooling. This rule in itself pretty much kicks everyone out. That 15% doesn't allow for circumstances beyond your control,i.e,dictator effect, etc. They just look at the percentage submitted to QA, if it is more than that, no raise; the reasons for submission make NO difference. Second,you must have 98% accuracy which shouldn't be a problem if you are a good MT. Mainly the QA submission is what keeps everyone from getting raises because MQ doesn't subtract from the 15% the reports sent for unknown doctors not listed on the roster, dictator effect, etc.; you know, all the things that are beyond the MT's control. LASTLY, there is a freeze on all raises for now, so that in itself should be a big warning sign to you. If you do decide to hire on, get AS MUCH as you can walking through the door as I seriously doubt you will see any raises down the road.
Health insurance runs around $135 a month for the employee for best plan. The other plan is somewhat cheaper but I believe it is more of a ''health spending plan rather than insurance.
For all VR editors out there sm
Well, I am one that edits about 500-600 lines an hour on ES, except for today! I put in about 10 hours an only achieved a total of 1800 lines. I had the worst day editing/transcribing VR in 5 years.
So, for all those who were feeling down on themselves or inadequate for not achieving that high line count on ES - for once I know the feeling. I had the worst of the worst dictators today that need 100% editing on every report, and we are talking 15 minute dictations here, all day long............I now feel your pain....!!!
Just thought I'd share~~ even the supposed fast money-making VR editors have terrible days in the MT industry! You are not alone. I think I have finally walked in someone elses shoes today!
On the bright side of things, there is always tomorrow!
Have a great night/day everyone :-)
pay scale
I did QA work, not MT work, so I'm not sure. I think it was around 8.5 cpl, but not positive on that. Give a call to the recruiters, they'll let you know for sure.
Do you mean QA editors or ASR editors? sm
QA is hourly; ASR is based on a percentage of your regular line rate.
TT Editors
Does Transtech hire part-time editors? I have never seen them advertise for editors and I was just curious. Thanks!
What's their pay scale like?
-
How is the pay scale
Do they compare with other companies or will they pay more for experience? Thanks for posting, it is a big help to hear good things about a company that has not had much good said about it.
KS pay scale
i looked quickly but don't find my notes on the interview with this company which was about 2 hours of me interviewing THEM. So i can't address that point now. Maybe they've changed something, maybe i'm mixing them up with another company(but don't think so). Just ask plenty of questions so YOU know the answers to the questions. If the answers satisfy you, nevermind what i or anyone else says. Good luck!
Pay scale
There are those who only make 7 cpl for them on clinic notes. That's why I didn't send them the test I took.
Even the editors
Basically, we're all editors now. I suspect that even the editors will be replaced by this super software.
pay scale
You'd better believe it. I've been an MT since 1984. Sucks, doesn't it!?
It was at least 30%, some editors got
They are just playing with words. Lies by omission. Don't buy it. The e-mail made it sound as though not everyone was getting a 30% paycut. That is true, not every employee was cut 30%. What the e-mail does NOT say is that some editors got more than a 30% paycut, and now the MTs are getting less of a paycut of 10% or 15% or whatever. They can call it what they want, but less pay is less pay.
This was once a good company that with a little tweaking would have been a fine company. Instead, things have gone downhill at a rapid pace. Instead of an American company with an Indian presence, this is an Indian company with an American presence. Also the person running things in the US seems a little unsteady, not sure exactly what the problem is, maybe too much responsibility, and when things are shaky at the top stuff tends to run downhill and you have a disorganized mess on your hands. Company does not seem to be professionally run. Next thing you know they'll be losing customers.
Pay scale - sm
Yes, and you can BET that the facilities are not paying LESS per line/report during all this...so, where does all that money go? Certainly not to us....
Pay scale same for everybody
No, I don't think the MDI people should be brought down, I think the Transcend people should get the same rate and the same options as you are getting. What I think will happen is you will get your rate for a period of time then they will drop you down somehow. I really can't see them paying the MDI MTs more than their own employees for the long-term
amphion pay scale
There are 3 levels of employees:
Level 1is clinic, ER, urgent - start out at 7.4 cpl work up to 7.7 cpl
Level 2 is Hospital H&P, consults start 7.8 cpl work up to 8.1 cpl
Level 3 is All Hospital/ESL start at 8.25 cpl work up 8.5 cpl
after 13,500 you can earn an extra 0.25 cpl for incentive pay. This is 65 chara line count w/spaces. 10 an hour while in training.
Other places pay more.
I'd rate them a 7 on a scale 1-10 NM
They have a low pay scale. They treat you like
The owner is nice enough, but she does not like to pay until her client pays her and she will make you sign a paper stating you agree to that. Just be careful what you sign. You might like it if you like EMDAT. There is no training. You train yourself through a website she gives you for EMDAT. Again pay is low. 
Transcend editors
Will anyone who works for Transcend continue to transcribe and not edit? Or is it all going to editing?
So, are your editors Indian?
I highly doubt it.
Question for Editors
How many reports (acute care) or minutes should you be able to complete each day?
With respect to (office notes and clinic work), how many notes or minutes should you be able to complete each day?
Thank you for your time.
? for transcend editors
When you switched from straight typing to editing, were you compensated for the time it took to learn the editing skills (with limitations on time required, of course) or was your pay immediately cut in half? I mean, it would only seem fair to be given some time to get used to it before having to take a 50% cut in pay.
How much does Medware pay editors?
I see their ad, and I did a search, and it looks like they pay hourly plus line incentive, and I'm just wondering what the ballpark figure on that is. Thanks!
They hire U.S. editors - says it all right there.
Probity Editors
...was wondering if they offer benefits for full time editors. Also, do they pay a decent hourly rate. Please feel free to email me if you'd like.
Webmedx pay scale for VR
Anybody know? Transcend pays about 50-60% of your typing line rate, which I think is really bad. Anybody know about Webmedx's rate for VR?
No they aren't. They are looking for editors
Is there a little emoticon for putting a finger down one's throat and retching?
So they mostly hire editors?
exMedware editors (sm)
Any Medware editors who left after the new pay structure, where did you go? Did you find another QA/editing position or did you go back to transcription?
Very low and weird pay scale, Keep looking. nm
xx
I turned them down after seeing the pay scale
I did send them an email and explain that my expectations for transcribing all work types in acute care would be 10 cpl. They start out at 6. That's a canyon of difference!
It also bothered me that pay is based on which shift you work. It seems to me that goes into the gray area of IRS guidelines of control for employee versus IC status. I need to work split shifts. Also, I am more inclined to work when there is work and if there is no work during my shift, how can I make money? I asked if they could negotiate some of these issues with me and they stopped communicating with me. I'm glad I went with my instinct and did find someone else who gives me the flexibility, line rate and work types I wanted.
They have a very strange pay scale and no one
can quite figure it out. Very hard to get lines, unable to make any money. Lots of turnover. They are also currently training women in Trinidad to be MTs so it is only a matter of time before the jobs follow.
But there will always be jobs for editors !!

AllType pay scale
The pay scale varies depending on your skill set, experience and account.
OSi editors and coordinators
I am not a bit surprised at your comment. There really is nobody at OSi that you can go to for answers. Management is clueless and lacks experience, the coordinators and editors lack experience. Very sad little company!! LOL
Editors needed
Hey. I replied to that as well and haven't heard anything back as of yet.
editors wanted
I heard from someone that it was Shapin with the Editor positions. Don't quote me, but that is just what I heard.
