Just curious.
I wrote to the address MS McNair gave but got an autoresponder telling me she is out on vacation and if I need help to contact my account manager or supervisor. LOL
I wrote to point out the NUMEROUS spelling errors on their website.

Signon bonuses
I agree. There are so many MTs flooding the marketplace, they do not need to offer bonuses. (Sadly enough.)
I have received 2 signon bonuses in the past.
Pretty well the same criteria for both. I had to work the schedule I committed to, meet the quality standard, and maintain the production requirement.
I got the first half of the bonus at about 90 days and the other half at 180 days.
I think that is pretty standard.
BTW, my first signon bonus was $1000 and my second was $2000.
eSmartmed
Has anyone ever worked for and/or had problems with eSmartmed? I was thinking of applying but was told not to.
Thanks for any input.
eSmartMed
Anyone have any recent experience with this co? Pay? Benefits? Good, bad, indifferent? Only find old comments.
The eSmartMed is just part of their e-mail
addy, there is only one company and it is SmartMed, although it just made a name change a few months ago - I think the old name was Transcription Solutions (but not sure). They are in TX.
Is eSmartMed the same as the SmartMed located in Houston? nm Thanks!

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.
i could do 2500 to 3000 on ER too
You have life in the easy lane... ER docs, the same 10-20 at most day in and day out.. Try basic 4 with antiquated platforms (meditech) and 2000-5000 dictators to try and get a handle on.
2500 deductible
Does this still have the 2500 deductible? Doesnt pay copays to doctor visits either?
I use DOS Meditech and get 2500 lines per day. sm
Use your Expanders for everything. Once you are used to it, it is as easy or even easier to get lines as any other program out there.

2500 to 3000 a month is not unreasonable. SM
I do about 2000-2500. It depends on the work type. I like OP notes (if I am fortunate enough to get them). ERs would be nice too, but haven't done those in years. I work for MQ.
I have made $2500-3000 for a national, but....
I have to work seven days a week 12-15 hours a day to do that and end up having no life and no benefits. I am giving this up and going to work for a local hospital. I know that at first I will not make the same, but it is worth it to me to go to work for 8 hours and be done instead of dragging it out up to 15 hours a day and not making that much less. Actually, over 8 hours in a hospital I do make more than working 8 hours at home. It makes me tired and grouchy and my family is tired of me being at home like that. I feel so much pressure every day trying to make a decent line count and it just takes too long. I want to get a life..
I usually average anywhere between 2500-3000 lines per shift
at KS.
$2500 gross a month working for a national

Wow .. if I could do 2000-2500 lph, I'd be living next door to the Rockefellers. nm :-)
Notice the "up to $2500" - sounds like a catch - be careful with this one
nm
is the deductible for insurance still 2500 bucks w/ no copay for doc visit?
That is the sole reason I quit. That and the fact they switched me from account to account as soon as I started making a decent line rate with one.
They also have the ability to slow down how fast you can download files. They slipped and told me that it was to help control traffic on the server.
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!
I said that I do 1600+ per day. Most days, I am over 2500-3000 lines per day. 1600 is the personal
I do not work overtime except very, very occasionally. I use my Expanders and know my account inside out. It IS possible no matter how many people try to say that it is not. I rarely post here because I see people chopped to pieces when they say they make good money, no matter who they work for. It is as though only the negative voices are heard here.
Where is my bonus!
I have been at OSi a long time and don't know what my audit scores are. I never got a bonus but you see the same names in the newsletter every single time with the bonus. I think they are just paid it as part of the inner circle and probably never got an audit either. If I did mess up I wouldn't know it because nobody ever tells me anything about an audit. What gives????
Where is my bonus!
Well isn't that interesting that 2 people on here know nothing of audits? Why is that? Why isn't everyone getting audits monthly and randomly? Something is stinky here.
SE's bonus with MQ
Are you working for the St Louis office? This is where I was hired, but have not sent in my paperwork yet. Do you have a lot of ESL? They don't bother me too much, but they can slow you down. How are you liking working for Medquist so far....after reading some of the posts on here I am very nervous, but I think I will give them a chance to see for myself.
Bonus
Im bringing it back up here. Listen, no one owes you anything for working for them but your paycheck. The way I look at it, these people are not my friends, not my family, and have nothing to do with my holiday however I wish to celebrate it. If I were to receive something, I would be grateful but don't expect it. Your job is your job and thats all it is. It gets way too personal when you expect something from an employer. A gift is something that should be given from the heart, if one wants to, not something that is expected to be given. And as far as thank yous? I earn my paycheck, I don't expect someone to thank me for something they are already paying for. Just my opinion, probably gonna start up a big fuss here -
x-mas bonus
Hello..Merry Christmas everyone! It is my one year working at Medware and just wondering if they give x-mas bonuses? 
Bonus
You're obviously a new MT right? Sorry, but I had to laugh when I read that. In my 20+ years of working in transcription only one company gave us a Christmas bonus. It's unheard of really.
bonus
That's great. Good for you! Okay, maybe not totally unheard of, but deifnitely not the norm for most MTSOs.
Bonus
I've been with my current employer for 3 months and I got a substantial bonus, but it may be because I work for a small local nephrology group. Before this I didn't receive anything.
bonus
Well, first off, she asked about Medware specifically. no one answered that specifically, but anyway, I received a bonus from my present MTSO even after working for them for only three months, almost three years ago. I also received a fairly substantial bonus last Christmas from the same MTSO. I don't know for sure, but I suspect I will get a bonus again this year. I also sent them a Happy Holidays gift. I think it is good to *acknowledge* both the MTSO and the IC/employee, simply for doing good work all year. JMO. Merry Christmas to all.
$100 bonus! : )

$225 bonus. ;-)

I have been getting the QA bonus
for a long time. I know my account well, and I know what QA wants (for the most part!)
TT bonus
Can you elaborate on how the production bonus is figured and how often it is paid? Thanks again.
The bonus ... (sm)
.... is paid on a weekly line count. There is a minimum daily line requirement which is reasonable, and IMO, I believe they would be able to keep transcriptionists if the bonus were based on anything over their required lines per day instead of weekly.
bonus
That is definitely NOT a $1,000 bonus. Not in my book. Human nature...something else. People are crucifying eachother. 
Bonus?
I have worked for MQ for 20 years and NEVER received a bonus at X-mas! Has anyone gotten one from MQ?
Bonus
Yes, I get a bonus every Christmas. Should be getting it in this week's paycheck. I was also invited to their holiday party the first weekend in January.
Bonus
One year I got a snowglobe with my company's logo as a bonus. But, i guess at least they remembered, LOL.
bonus
I appreciate hearing positive things about companies and did not feel the poster was bragging at all. It is also good to know what companies value their employees and actually show it.
NO BONUS YET
HEY, I WORK FOR Transcend AND RECEIVED NOTHING!?? HOWEVER, A VERY NICE LETTER STATING HOW WE WERE APPRECIATED. AT LEAST THAT'S SOMETHING. STILL, ALL IN ALL A GOOD COMPANY, BONUS OR NOT, THOUGH WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE!
No bonus, but might consider MDI-MD.nm

bonus
Last year they gave mugs filled with hard candy. I no longer work there, but would not expect much more than that.
No bonus, just mug
It's been the mug filled with candy for several years now. One year, the mug had gold metallic print so you couldn't use it in the microwave. Hopefully they don't repeat that one this year.
Bonus for switch from SE to FT
You would not quality, only for new-hires only. Even though you are SE you still "work" for MQ and are not new to them.
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.
referral bonus? ; -)

Anyone from Breitner getting bonus?
I see on the Jobs board they are advertising a Christmas bonus.
My understanding was that the bonus
you fulfilled ALL the criteria:
a. It begins at the end of your first 90 days, if,
b. You are an MT in good standing (whatever that means) and,
c. It was to be paid out in equal installments over 12 months, however,
d. If at any time you lose your good standing (whatever that means) your bonuses stop.
Happy typing!
Breitner Bonus??
These people cannot get payroll right. Good luck getting a bonus. Not only are they late on paying but the amounts incorrect. The software they are using now for counting doesn't even work. Today was my last day and I'm glad it's over. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone (unless your filthy rich and don't need the cash on time). In fact, I am going to compile a letter to MT Daily stating facts about paycheck shortage. MT Daily is a reputable website and want to be kept informed of issues like this. It shouldn't take 6 weeks for anyone to get paid.
