Answer about TransTech incentives
Posted By: TT'er on 2007-09-08
In Reply to: What do you mean by wkd/diff to line 1 - have to work whole weekend? - ponderer
No if you are scheduled work on Saturday or Sunday you get extra added to your line rate all the way back to line 1. Same goes if you are scheduled to work evening or night shift.

Bummed!!! Apparently the MDI-FL side doesnt get incentives. It seems like the benefits/incentives
would apply to everyone. Oh well, wouldnt be the first time. 
Incentives? What incentives? Lucky I can get the minimum lines.

Why no answer about does TransTech hire IC or

TransTech MTs, can you answer a few questions for me?
I was called by recruiter and offered position, since it is the weekend I do want to call with a few questions I have.
Are there ASR/voice recognition accounts?
If you have to work a holiday, do you have to work your usual full shift?
Do you get paid for expanders?
How hard is it to get time off? Even just a day at a time?
What is an average length of training?
Thanks for any info!!!!
TT management does not answer questions that you ask them; only answer those they want to answer.
I know, work for a long time and tried asking questions, but they just beat around the bush and don't answer the true question that you presented to them.
Maybe it is kite flying weather where you are !!!
ARE THEIR INCENTIVES
IF SO, WHAT ARE THE RATES?
What about incentives? Are there any at all? nm

Incentives - who has them?
I've read a couple of posts where MTs mention incentives, goals, bonuses and I'm interested in finding out which companies actually reward or motivate MTs to do more than just the minimum required, aside from just getting more lines. Thanks!
TT incentives
Does anybody know how TTs incentive tiers work? I know that if you type 13,000 lines, you get 0.25 cents more for the entire 13,000, and if you do 20,000 lines, you get a penny more, but what are the in between amounts?
incentives
I have seen accounts that run incentives based on minutes of dictation, but they also do it on number of reports done or lines typed. Just depends on the account I guess.
Don't be afraid to ask for a backup account, by the way. Some accounts have lots of work.
incentives
AND if you maintain under 10% QA another 0.25 cpl back to the first line!!!! They also have a great benefits package.
Pay better than most, no incentives, but
lots of OT available, 6 pd vacation days, a week PTO, get paid for down time, though there hasn't been any of that lately thankfully. They provide all equip/software. $500 sign-on bonus, $500 every year on anniversary. QA fairly strict, minimum score 98.5.
10cpl plus incentives
I have 13 yrs exp and with MQ I am getting 10cpl plus incentives but before my office closed, raises were given out all the time, all you had to do was asked. We were never given a yearly review, I learned that by calling every year, that was the way that I got a raise.-HMMM-maybe that is why my office was one of the ones to close
FOCUS INCENTIVES
Just found out after much prodding and after seeing a recruitment ad for Focus that they have put an incentive plan in effect for some employees and not others. Just wanted to make sure everyone was aware.
Focus incentives
Well, a while back I saw an ad from Focus trying to hire new MTs. It stated there were incentives being offered. I have worked for Focus for 9 months, no incentives, work weekends, eves, and holidays, too. Emailed office and asked. Was told they were discussing this. Kept prodding and emailing and find out tonight via email the MTs working on Netcare only will get incentives. Not sure what they will be or even have been.
MQ incentives/bonus SM
I was told the following:
$1,000 bonus after three months....have to meet standards (full time, 12,000 lines per pay).
$1,000 after three more months, same as above
Lines are 65 characters including spaces
14-18,000 lines in two weeks = .5 cpl bonus
18,001 -20,000 lines in two weeks = 1 cpl bonus
23,000+ lines in two weeks = 1.5 cpl bonus
Also...after 15,000 lines I get .5 cpl retroactively added to my original line count pay of 8 cpl.
Also...$50 bonus for anything over 20,000 lines
Let's hope this is all true...I'm not quitting my other job yet for them due to all of the bad press, I'll work two, the money will be nice for X-mas.
Spheris incentives?
Does anyone know if Spheris offers any incentives/bonuses? Do they pay for spaces, headers and footers? What is their base line rate range?
TIA!!
MDI incentives/holidays
Unfortunately there is no holiday pay/weekend pay. There are sometimes incentives offered when accounts get behind.
Incentives? Anyone who works there getting them?
I just read the ad and saw that they offer production-based incentives? I've worked there for a little while, and I have yet to hear anything about this. Does anyone get them? If so, what are they?
I can answer that question with a simple answer!
Strengths - none.
Weakness - all.
Incentives Which Companies Offer Them?
and which companies used to offer them but are changing their policy now? 
Not even with incentives are you making .12 a line
It is impossible to make .16 a line at Transcend. Typing more than the max incentive of 23,000 lines per pay period will only add 1.5 cents per line.
Maybe since work is low they should offer some incentives..sm
Maybe offer more on their line rate. Maybe that would keep people around since nobody can get their line counts in. I am barely making it. My house payment is 2 behind, my bills are behind....Just because I am TRYING to have faith in them and hope things will turn around. I like the company and 95% of the people, but it is really getting hard - too hard to live with these little paydays. I just hope something turns around fast. Maybe the ones that really don't have faith in them will leave and there will be more work for the ones that have the faith.
I am getting frustrated but I am hanging in there....
spheris incentives and bonuses.....
When I worked there, they did not offer actual monetary bonuses or incentives. I did get a drop in pay from $12.50 an hour to $10.50 an hour and never understood that one, especially being a four-star quality employee. BUT...when I worked there, they did, especially around Christmas and New Year's, offer such things as Home Depot cards, etc. It was almost like having your name drawn out of a hat or playing the lottery. If you were online when they were ready to pick a winner, you just might win that card. I won many, many times..very easy (and fun). They used to pay for spaces, but I don't remember them paying for headers and footers. Base pay was not that great and never a raise. I got the raise when they were Edix, but they dropped me back when it became Spheris. Hope that helps.
Is it legal if there are production incentives?
nm
They will go a bit higher than that for second or third shift. That, along with the incentives,
makes it a pretty darn competitive line rate when you also take into account the rich benefits package. JMHO.
More money/production incentives only.
They are extremely flexible with my schedule and everyone is very nice. They were also very understanding when we had personal issues this summer. I also think their insurance is pretty reasonable.
I pass along pay I'm offered when it is higher to encourage them to pay more.
$30/hr probably hard to achieve despite incentives. NM

how does line incentives work?
If your company says they will pay .01 over 2000 lines daily, does that mean if you type 2100 lines you get the extra .01 for ALL lines or just the 100 you went over?
4.5 with shift & weekend incentives

HOW IS IT YOU RATE BONUS INCENTIVES = SM
while everyone else is struggling - or are only a select few getting offered bonuses? Rest of us are asked to Pleeze help before the account goes out of TAT. Lot of MTs out on PTO. Some of us would like to get in on that PTO (lots are ineligible) as well as the bonuses.
Not true. Bonuses and incentives do exist
and are paid out on time as earned. Have never had any mess-up on my per check incentives nor my quarterly bonuses.
Would you choose $15 with no incentives over straight production??
I have an offer to go shift lead at $15 an hour or another company is offering me 0.9 a line with production incentives on a fairly easy clinical specialty account with what looks like a lot of normals. Would most of you go for the certain money or take the production in hopes that you can work up speed and eventually make more? Not sure what to do here. Thanks 
4 cpl editing/8 cpl transcribing + incentives (New Plan). nm

Seemed really low to me, on the incentives. Maybe 1 cent per line for a lot of lines.

Does Keystrokes offer production incentives or...sm
maybe cost of living raises or performance raises or ANYTHING like that, so a person knows there is a chance for income advancement over time? TIA!
"receive all of my bonuses and incentives, which are plenty by the way"
Thank you.
Line requirements, production incentives
Does Keystrokes offer holiday pay/incentives?
I'm an in-house hospital/Radiology MT who is considering working at home full time; just exploring my options.
TIA!
and good tech support and incentives

Spheris line rates & incentives
Some employees at Spheris are now being told that production and QA incentives will be eliminated. The line rate is variable, but in general, the very least you will accept. This used to be a wonderful company. Very little concern now for either employees, quality of work, or serving best interests of clients. Many are leaving.
Can you elaborate or is that top secret too. Do people really get incentives and bonuses there??
Close to 9 cents not including multiple incentives
.
Webmedx has BCBS and some accts pay that rate, more with incentives. sm
Plus we have shift differentials too.
What incentives? What skewed raise policy? Give details!
Most every company gives sign-on bonus (is this the incentive that you speak of?) depending on need. It's the nature of the business. However, there haven't been any for quite a while at Transcend that I know of.
Shorter time for raises? How so? Show me the raise tier structure for long-time employees versus newbies, and how it differs. The raise tier is posted on the MLS website for all to see, and I certainly don't see anything that could be construed as shorter time for raises for newbies. If you have inside information, please ante up.
What enticements, specifically? All I can recall in the past is that people who had left recently were told they could come back and retain PTO seniority, or something along those lines. I don't see enticements being posted on job boards. If you do, please ante up.
Again, you won't give specifics, despite repeated requests. Vague comparisons aren't facts.
I will agree with you on one thing. Every company should value their dedictated, loyal employees. Your loyalty and knowledge is rewarded by the fact that you get a paycheck that is probably higher than a newbies because you aren't struggling to learn a new account rules, new doctors, and a new system. There's your personal reward. Experience.
This is a very competitive field and when employees are needed there has to be room for negotiation. MTSOs are not hiring on Wal-Mart standards.
I think they start you in the 8-9 cpl range and with shift diffs and production incentives
you can make another 1.5 cpl or so. I work second shift and my base is .09 plus I always earn at least another half cent on production bonuses and a quarter cent for the shift diff.
Much more flexible than MQ. 12-hr window to do your work. Rate is lower, but they do have incentives
Haven's started yet, but E-mail me if you'd like and I'll tell you what I can. The Q was just unbearable to me.
No. TransTech is out of Texas TTS is in New Hampshire. TransTech
s
Well I don't work for Transtech and this discussion isn't about Transtech...
and that is not age discrimination....give me a break...
So what? I don't have to answer anything.
And by the way, MQ does not know that I work for Spheris. :) They are very much aware.
It is amazing to me how many of you people just want to screw someone. You're not happy for whatever situation.
It's NO ONE'S BUSINESS whether I work for 1 company or 3 or 6. I could care less what you think. I'm no more in danger of losing either job than anyone else. Furthermore, it's no skin off my nose if I DO lose them. I will be employed shortly thereafter. I have plenty of money. I'm not worried.
No need for anyone here to be upset or angry about my situation. It is shocking how absolutely miserable most on this board are. It's becoming quite amusing! No matter what ANYONE says -- everyone raises that shrewd eyebrow and turns their mouth down and mutters and mumbles, "just you wait". You sputter warnings out like you've been imprisoned and are angry someone is not held captive like you are. TOO BAD.
I have a great situation - it has been that way for years. If it goes on until I leave this business, great. If it doesn't, I'll just find more work. It really isn't that big of a deal to me...why in the world would it be so bothersome for anyone else?!
It really sounds to me like some people don't have enough to do in their lives! Well, I do and I'm thrilled with how things are going! It's a lot of hard work, yes, but it's very rewarding.
Everyone can go one with their lives. Hahahaha What I do in mine has NOTHING to do with YOU!
