I am also one of the few I guess, who does like the DQS platform and am making more lines per hour, now over a year on it, no where close to your line count though

But, what amazes me is the total inconsistency, once again, between the various MQ offices.  Been with MQ for 11 yrs now, I also work evenings and weekends, starting at 11pm and make the majority of my lines on weekends, yet you started out at 9.5 and I'm only getting 8 cpl ? My office does not know what a raise is and had quite a few lay off's after losing a huge teaching hospital account, so even asking for one, some of my fellow MT's have been looked at like they are asking for zillions.

Your starting line rate at 9.5, is quite frankly and not rudely, hard to believe or swallow for just this reason...many many of us have been there/done that and are not making the same rate. 

I truly congratulate anyone who can get the rate they need to survive on w/o giving up life itself, but I'm thinking you should enjoy and make the most of it because, unless they will be bumping thousands of us up in cpl, once (and if) the threatened new line rate comes out along with the "new consistency nationwide) across all the offices, you may find that line rate out the window, which would be wrong of them to do so.  They promise and I hopehave realized because of all the legal issues, that they DO need one game plan across the board, bene's, salaries, CPL, bonuses, PTO, etc, etc. to be fair and consistent.  But, to make it this way, there will be some or even many of us MQ MT's that will be unhappy.  I hope not, but with MQ, ya never know. 

The latest Qnews on yet again, problems with their filing with the SEC does not look promising for any bright future with pay for us measly pions who are the backbone of the company, but it would be nice to fantasize that corporate would realize if they make us happy by providing us a way to make a decent living w/o turning off our life support, then the MT's could be so instrumental in their "forward looking statements"..geee and I'm not even one of the new suits making the mega millions ..

I just happened to troll through the QNet reading this and noticed that NO ONE has asked FRANK any Q's since May?  Wonder why that is? Maybe the legal suits have advised him to not take any more ask frankie baby Q's as God forbid, someone could bring another class action in that area.  Sorry ladies, was a very long night full of any and all ESL's not even off the boat..did I have problems with them...nope..made my best lines on them (even though I felt wiped for one of them because it seemed to take all his energy just to dictate the reports), it was the dang lilly white good ol boys who I will call Tigger & Piglet because one kept hopping all over, while Piglet would stop, studder, shuffle, walk to one side of the trauma bay on the other side of the room from the phone...then run back at 90 mph to say the next word, therefore making me a great candidate for sign language now

Do you mind e-mailing me you employer if they are hiring?

They will pay an incentive but I am on too many accounts to get the line count I need to get that.  All the patient censuses make for a lot of clerical work that I don't get paid for and I am so outta here as soon as I can get out!

if they asked someone to work OT.  Geez, c'mon sense.   BTW, anyways is not a word. 

My last three paychecks have bounced. I have been given excuses and promises and nothing has been done yet. I do not work for fun. My family needs this money I make. After the third check bounced on Friday, I told them I would not type another case until I have a check that is not rubber. Anyone else having this problem?

Only the MTs who are really good and really competent would consider it worthwhile to pay to have the test on file.   So it would weed out the MTs with skills that are not so good and the employers would not have so many to weed through.

I actually think it should include the whole kit and caboodle - test, resume, all pertinent information that ane employer would need to make a decision on whether to extend a job offer.  That way the MT just does all that once (a year) and then can just sit back and see if they receive any offers.

I too think it would be a good idea to have the tests proctored.  I hadn't thought of an MT having someone else take the test for them, but you have a point there.

I also think that an MT could list on their file that they will not consider offers from certain companies they do not wish to work for, or from offshore companies, or offers for under so many cpl, etc.  I certainly wouldn't want to be bothered with a bunch of offers there is no way I'd even consider so best not to waste anyone's time on either side.

I also had issues with getting paid what was owed to me.  I kept their equipment and then they threatened me with a civil suit.  When it came almost time to go, I called Sherry Ponder, the OSi HR Manager, and she gave me what I was owed.  Then, I sent their equipment back.

I won't re-state the name but someone was not getting paid.  There was someone who then wrote that this was a good company but the CLIENT didn't pay.

Please note, I have no knowledge of this particular company.  HOWEVER, it is my feeling that a good company ALWAYS pays and does not have themselves so strapped that they cannot pay their contractors whether or not they get paid.  If nonpayment by the client occurs, all work should cease for that client but the contractors should still be paid for the work completed, and the MTSO should fight about the nonpayment, not pass that onto their contractors by not paying them because they weren't paid.  That is a bad business practice whether or not you are a good company or not. 

My opinion as to how I would run things as an MTSO. 

and never an interruption in service.  Can you as an IC promise that?  I have my own accounts, and I can't promise that.  hello?  I need a vacation once in a while.  I don't have back-up because I just don't, plus it's tapes.  Now I get 12 cpl and it's easy work, but I have to pick up and deliver or else hire someone to do that for me, hence, loss of money even though I can write it off. 

The companies are hiring at 7-8 cpl to cover their QA and also to make some money.  No company is going to pay us what they charge, but 7-8 cpl is the going rate for ICs working for MTSOs. 

Now, you can offer what you'd like for what rate you'd like, but be ready when you need a vacation or just want a break because they'll get their panties in a bunch wanting you to find coverage, and then who do you trust to work for you and not try to take your account?  Believe me, it happens. 

Hi Jodie:  I am so sorry you were subjected to such treatment.  Unfortunately, this business has become so dog eat dog.  You can check my post below yours.  So sick of being treated like a dispostabale commodity.  There should be an oversight committee to review these companies, and they should be fined for unfair practices.  As Christians, we have to forgive them, but we can be honest and tell others what they have done to us.  Maybe we can protect others from falling into the pit.  It hurts to be used like that.  God Bless, and good luck with your next endeavor.

You need to ask if Keystrokes include Expanders or not, as most of us use expanders to up our productivity and that would really hurt. 

Next, I think you mean 0.055 per 1000 words (5 keystrokes being a word). 

1000 words x 5 = 5,000 keystrokes

5,000/65 = 76.92 65 character line

76.92*0.055 = $4.23

It sounds like to me that they are trying to confuse you that they pay EXTREMELY low, unless of course I am missing something.
