Always cpl times total lines, unless a bonus applies
Posted By: omt on 2006-04-10
In Reply to: Question for WebmedX employees - mts
Once you are totally off training and being paid only by your line rate (cpl), your pay will be based on your two week, total lines typed (cpl x total lines typed). The only time lines per hour would affect you is if you qualify for a bonus. I do not know what MT Level you are (3 or 4), but I believe Level 4 bonus starts after 150 lines per hour. If you qualify, don't try to figure the bonus out. It will drive you crazy. Just be happy to see a bonus in your check!

total lines
I work on extext and that is the way it is done for me to. Just shows total lines for that hospital. But you can get the total lines for a certain period not just that day.
Because I compare the total lines to my paycheck

Do all MTSOs with Ex-Text just show total lines
At my MTSO, when I check the I-Chart site, it gives a total of lines per hospital--no total number of reports or any kind of breakdown to make sure all my reports are in there. The Ctrl-I function shows the number of reports, but the line count is inaccurate and only shows for that day only, so that's useless. Am I overlooking something? I hate being not able to track my line count accurately. 
Now that bonuses are paid by total lines per week sm
it doesn't matter what your LPH total is, so you can stay clocked in or out for those little things, as you choose.
Great incentive plan, but based on speed/lph not total lines produced. Works if you are fast.

Pay on time, direct deposit, incentive bonus, nice management but at times workload can be a problem
requiring several accounts to stay busy.
Bonus lines
Anyone actually making bonus lines and w/what company? Between 4 accounts and running out of work cannot even make the count...
bonus lines
We get bonus lines every month at Golden Isles. Don't know if they are hiring but look into it. www.gimtnet.com
Are you sure it is a bonus or 1-1/2 lines
I think they call it a bonus, but it is not, just 1-1/2 lines. I comes in the same paycheck and regular pay for regular lines, tho.
How many regular lines did you get paid for?
You're forgetting to add on the bonus 11K lines earns.
It makes the difference. BTW, the higher the production, of course, the more the bonus, which is applied to all lines produced. I think they're entirely aware that better producers will be much happier with the bottom line than low producers.
Webmedx offers a production bonus based on your lines per hour sm
over a minimum amount. Amount varies by amount produced. Not split in a pot like mentioned above. I don't understand how that would work?
Christmas Bonus survey...Has anyone received a bonus yet this year or expect one?
We usually get one but haven't see it yet. Just curious if anyone has been so lucky as to get one.
Are you sure that applies to the sm
MT? Usually a position of supervision might have that clause because you'd be privy to confidential company and account information, but as far as the MT part goes I don't see how they can dictate who and how many companies you can work for.
And this applies not only
to the comments on this forum, but also to the advertising tactics of MT schools.
A lot of times, if they need extra help, they will over 1-1/2 times our regular rate. sm
This is the equivalent of OT but you get it even if you have not done 40 hours already. I have also received AmerExp gift cards a few times for incentives offered. I think it depends on the account.
I do know for sure that they are working on an incentive program but I have no details and not even sure if they are still looking at it.
I do know for sure that I make more $$ with Keystrokes than I have ever made anywhere else.
I agree with you, but I don't know that it applies to OP. (sm)
some people actually get back thousands when only paying in a few hundred and keep having kids. The more kids, the better the benefits. Must repeat, I don't think scenario applies to OP of this thread, tho.
This law only applies to mass

I think that sentence applies here -
you know, the one they use when they don't want to come right out and say you're terminal:
DON'T BUY ANY GREEN BANANAS!
Thank you! This applies to all companies
I am tired of seeing postings or ads that say IC but want you to work a certain shift.
As far as asking for extra coverage, just tell them you will do your best. No IC should have to adhere to a strict schedule or provide extra coverage on weekends or nights unless the said company would like to offer an incentive.
Some say this job is 24/7, and while I agree, that does not equate to abuse of an IC!!!!
Depends on # of employees if it applies. Also
Statutory employee is not the same as an employee. Statutory is basically an IC... no overtime at all.
Yes, I was speechless when I saw that ad. If anyone applies to that job, they should have their head
examined. Companies like that are the reason we cant make a good living or even decent one at this point. That is a disgrace!!!
Yes, that applies to me too, but things are more complex than
juar
No way will recruiter know who applies and who posts.
s
I'm wondering why anyone applies there when it's well known Toth
.
Nope. Only applies to less than 50 if the number is 33% or more of
I had to study this law very extensively for certification.
Minimum wage only applies to employees.

Battering is a choice. (Domestic violence applies to many things)
May I suggest counseling? I mean that in a kind way. BTW: If you don't understand let me explain: Battering is a choice is same as Sucking up is a choice. Wondering if you were married if you sucked up to him as well... and don't get me started on misquoting Scripture either. God never forces us to suck anything up. We are supposed to be like Him. He will, however, let us choose to suck it up or choose to be battered, and that is where we end up in Hades.
So, by your philosophy, suck it up, accept the battering and you will always have a job. Okay, so you will always be under domestic violence. Your choice. Not mine. Wish you all the luck in the world with your sucking it up choose the battering. Maybe someday as I said a counseling session might help. Or not. Your choice.
Also, it is not only about a birthday bonus, any bonus...sm
I am curious to see the average amount of different bonuses out there. Like anniversary, birthday, holiday, etc. bonuses. Remember back when you were an employee and had to go out to work for a company, during your birthday, anniversaries, certain special times of the year everyone would send around a card, sign it, cook a meal or something nice for you...I am just wondering if any company does that for you even though you don't actually have to dress and go to work physically. A simple poll...NOT something I will base on becoming an employee with...A SIMPLE POLL! Thanks for everyone who gave some input about their actual company and not a criticism...Just a simple question ....
No bonus here - I make my own bonus sm
by working more and having a big fat paycheck!
I have learned, in life, not to expect so as to not be let down or disappointed. I apply that reasoning to all aspects of life, including my career.
Although I agree that sometimes it is nice to have others think of you with a gift or bonus, in reality, it is not the norm working as an IC.
Christmas has become so materialized and commercialized, it really is sad for those who don't have as much as others to feel such a financial stress and burden to buy or give gifts.
So, I say make your own bonus and work a little more, get some extra lines in, and that would be your bonus!
Happy Holidays to All!
3 in total, 1 FT and 2 PT..sm
Originally took on another PT local doc to cover daughter's competitive cheerleading costs. Then, hubby got laid off last fall and took on another national PT to help make ends meet. He now is employed elsewhere, but still have late bills, not to mention never want to be in that position again. Trying to pay off all the bills!!! Feels like I work round the clock, but really don't with lots of breaks and extreme flexibility to work whenever and also be with my kids whenever (and be their chauffeur, mostly!) Good luck to you, it's hard but there is something to be said for security.
Could be because of total lack of sm
professionalism and loyalty to those she worked with if indeed that is true. All I ever heard from her was talking about others behind their back. I never met anyone other than from one other one there who went long ago that did that and it is the worst case of management I have ever known.
Look at the total package
Sometimes a great incentive program more than makes up for low CPL, also a good program, good dictators, how many templates and normals you can get. I knew someone who consistently did over 2000 lines per day and did not work more than 8 hours, doing mostly OPs with ESLs, but they all said the same thing, used formats. She just had to keep making her normals and inserting them. They said the same phrases over and over, so she made big bucks. Once she got used to them, it was a breeze and she was consistently one of the highest earners.
I would just keep checking other companies. I am sure there is something out there for you. Don't give up.
In total agreement
with the poster who stated that being overweight, most of the time is due to overeating because of emotional issues. I am such a person. I am 160 pounds overweight and emotional issues led to my overeating. Surgery will not take these issues away. I was 200 pounds overweight. I have been undergoing counseling and have joined Nutrisystem, where I also receive a lot of support. A long haul? Yes, but I would much rather go this route, then risk my life in a surgery with no definite outcome.
well, IMO total disgraces!!
ridiculous to offer a whopping six cents a line!!! Wahoo!! Are they out of their frelling minds. You get what you pay for and six cent quality is what they are going to get. UGH!! SHAME ON THEM!!!
That's my question. How do you know the total is right?
I'm a TT newbie, so please don't take offense. For the other companies I've worked for you can see the number of reports in the final count, including work types. With TT, I see a client breakdown with total lines. If there's a report missing, I have no way of knowing. If there's a way to do it with Ctrl I, I can't figure it out and can't get an explanation. I don't check every 5 minutes, but I do check my line counts a couple of times a day and this has always helped my production. I don't understand why this is so complicated. Am I doing something wrong?
total agreement
MTs can make the $$ exactly how you stated using expanders. I also stay in one specialty field with the same dictators... but you must be focused on your work and with no expense on gas or clothes, that all adds up to money in your pocket.
Any fool knows that VR is a TOTAL RIP OFF.
How that can be slander, well, only in the mind of an MTSO. Don't want the MTs to realize they are being taken with these LIES about VR, now, would we?
I had 4 accounts total
Primary plus 3. There were times that there was no work in ANY of them. Funny thing is that the *Backlog* would show a certain number but when I'd go in to get reports, there were just a few. Then my primary would get gobbled up by people working on east coast (I'm west-Pacific time), so there has been lack of work in the past 3 to 4 months.
Cross-training did help but the ship had been sinking for some time without our knowledge.
My new gig has no weekends, no holidays, NEVER any VR. No pool, I'm the only MT on the acct. Full-time employee after 90 days, bene's (10 PTO a year) after 1 year. Regular 9:00 to 5:00 Clinic schedule.
Like musical chairs, have to find a place to sit once the music stops or....
My total hours were 85 of which 7.5 were OT. Does THAT satisfy you?
I draw a line at telling you my earnings, however.
No communication at MDI-FL. Total chaos.
x
They're total flakes. They don't know what end is up.
.
no it doesn't track total for whole day
you have to do each document individually, but also keep in mind that it counts ALL lines, both typed and not typed. So be careful of that, if you aren't getting paid for blank lines.
It depends on total years of
what work type. You can actually make more than 8 as an employee if you make the bonus. I do acute care and make 8 plus the first level of incentive which is an additional 1/2. That is for 1400 lines per day. Some days I make the 1400 and some days I don't, it just needs to be 14000 in a 2 week pay period. There is actually a level above this one too, for 16000 in a pay period.
At MedWare, too, can't do it. You'd have to log in after every report to get a total, but
s
I pay $140 a month total for $500 deductible-WMX
MTSOs like you are total tools.
Try treating your MTs like valuable employees, and not expendable machinery, why dontcha?
Name your source and the total quote
Its irresponsible of you to suggest that Obama (or McCain for that matter) wants to put records online implying they could be unprotected.
So name your source, and the entire quote and then WE can determine what the position actually is...
Again, there is a total lack of reading
I don't even know who you think I am in regard to the comments you are attributing to me, I think. I never said that I was against attacking, I never said whatever mumbo jumbo I think you are accusing me of. I stand by my analogy of your behavior as a child in a sandbox. And you're now at the throwing sand stage, soon to be followed by the I'm gonna tell my mother on you which would be in this case, of course, the moderator. The OP gave a very nonemotional and intelligent synopsis of her opinion on hostility on the board and others have responded in kind. It was not an attack, the post was not a complaint, the post had no mention of not wanting to come here. You have 100% completely misconstrued the entire thread and are, indeed, the nasty one telling a poster to move on and go to lovey forums, etc., topped off with your attempt at a final insult of Cheers, or don't let the door hit ya on the way out. Now, do I have to explain this post to you? I think you get it, but you don't like it and just want to stir up the sandbox some more. We were all playing just fine before, not to worry.

Total waste of time and money
No doctor or hospital even has heard of CMT. It's just crap made up by the AAMT to line their pockets with application fees.
