think that must be a different bonus.

Do they offer production bonuses? nm

Offered 8 cpl w/sp on 1100 lpd & 8.5 cpl on 1400 lpd. Bonuses on production for statutory emps.

Their pay scale for ES wasnt high enough for me. I make a lot more where I work now.
but, to each his own.
I always have been there several years and it wasnt always so bad but now with no work half the time
communication I am no longer happy there and moving on.
I work on it. Usual amount of work. Not running out but not backlogged either. They seem to have
about the right staffing on it. Hope that helps.
IC means they cannot tell you WHEN to do the work, only X amount
Otherwise by IRS definition you ARE an employee. I have been seeing a lot of ads lately where companies want ICs for particular hours, and I can't believe people fall for that. The definition of IC versus employee is simple: Who has control? If you have control, you are IC. If the company has control, you are an employee.
Thanks. Do they have good amount of work?
Is the payment on time?
Guaranteed amount of work!
With all of these people complaining about no work at this company and no work at that company, I'd have to say guaranteed work is a load of you know what!!!! Also, you can pay your own social security. The employer is making money off of your withholdings. Hello? Does anyone here think that it is probably better to owe the IRS at the end of the year and keep your money and invest it yourself, rather than let the IRS have your money for a year to make money off of your money just so you can have a refund? Grow up and save your own money!
Are these companies paying for downtime when the dictating physicians are on vacation, and there is not enough work to go around? Doubt it!!!
To the OP: You'd be better off as an IC and pay your own insurance!
I do have a job a reasonable amount of work
with good pay. I just haven't worked for this low of pay in many years. It averages about $10.00 an hour when all said and done, and I didn't know if that is a waste of my time, or get more work at my other job for more money. It seems the latter one is better, but in this day and age, I always think 2 jobs are more secure just in case one gets low on work. What would you do in this case? It is an IC position.
Exactly. If pay is suffiecient for amount of work you

My account seems to have an adequate amount of work so far....SM
so that hasn't been a problem. I guess it might be just me.
You are assigned "x" amount of minutes every day, you work that out between the
two of you. IC status. Pay is on time every two weeks, but there is a long wait before you get your first check. After that, it's smooth sailing.
Are there any companies that assign a certain amount of work per day
Instead of having to pull from pool? PLEASE - PLEASE - TELL ME! 
companies that assign a certain amount of work
Princeton Transcription out of New Jersey assigns work according to how many minutes of dictation you want a day.
How do the Proscript quarterly bonuses work? nm

I would hate to have to try and balance out # of MTs versus amount of work. (sm)
They can hire for a new account on projected number of lines and projected amount of lines each MT does, but so many variables are involved. That is exactly why I just do MT and let the MTSO and staff handle those issues. Too much for my little brain.
They are a great company and truly try their best. Give them a call. Can't hurt to try.
If you work for DR they send a form letter to all employees about bonuses.sm
If you work for them and are eligle, they send a form letter out letting everyone know how it was figured.
YEE GADS the old bitty's are out today.
It depends on your account, employee status, amount of work agreed, etc. NM

Some are tied to QA level, some aren't. sm
But they are very good people and reserve the right to pay you the bonus even if you don't make the QA standard if there is an extenuating circumstance (new account, stuff like that). They have paid me for things like lost documents, etc., so they are not difficult on paying people.
Yes, I know. Our hands have been tied. I'm sorry for all involved. :( nm

I am really tired also of being tied to my computer . . .
In all reality, all I need to do financially is put in 5 hours which should be easy and done before 1 o'clock in the afternoon. BUT, I have to stay close and milk the work so I can try to get to it first in order to get the lines. I think it's time to quit MTing forever. This is not the first time something like this has happened to me . . .
They definitely expect you to be tied to your queue
anxiously awaiting work. It's ridiculous. They overhire plain and simple. This slowdown is not seasonal and is not exclusively the economy. They lost my 3rd acct in June. I've begged me STM for another backup multiple times. Ain't happening. It's idiotic.
I work there also and my production is low but.. sm...
I've always thought it was due to the high ESLs on my account. Seems like 80% of them are ESL.
Does JLG work in shifts or by production? TIA

We all know from the MT recruiter yesterday that Synescribe and All American Transcription are tied
into together. I think Synthescribe had gotten so much of a bad rap on here that I am wondering if they went undercover or reinvented themselves as an All American MT. A lot of MTs were not applying with Synescribe because of its overseas affiliation. I could be wrong but this is my take on it. I think the recruiter was on here promoting this company or companies as basically one and the same. I'm sure there is a lot more to this story. All of it has turned me off to applying with Synescribe, All American or whatever they call themselves. Too Bizarre for me..along with that recruiter.
I only work part-time, and my production sm
depends on the reliability of my connection. On most days I do 30 minutes of dictation, which will yield 300-500 lines depending on everything. I have over 30 years' experience. FC uses Chartscript which is so simple to use. Just run a macro, type in patient's info as dictated, and you're on your way. Reports follow one after another in the document file for that account. As far as lot of work, I only know what's going on in my little world. I have plenty of work. Hope this helps. FC is IC only, BTW.
There is a good reason why we work on production . . .
and that reason is production is the only way we will make money. You don't get raises with wage pay and you're basically locked in with no chance to increase your earnings.
They weed out, if you don't have work you can't make production. (sm)
Or are you talking about weeding out quality wise?
They use Emdat. Only paying 7-8 cpl + production. Clinic work. nm

You need a 2nd line and Cphone to work for them. 800 lpd is PT production. Someone posted a

Ah, a random work load can really kill production. Can they be routed
s
wasnt set up to own mq
Cbay was a service for a long time in the US and then they started Indian operations.
As to the original poster, here's my experience:
Pay is average on par with everyone else. You get a schedule and are expected to stick to it. They WILL ask you where you are if you do not. Pay day has always been accurate and on time.
There are different programs to work on but the few I've worked on seem to be quick to learn.
I would recommend them if someone asked me.
I just stated with them. Nice people, work out of Word, and pay increases with production. nm

wasnt this Lee's sister in law?

Are you talking about DSG or intouchMI. Sorry. Wasnt sure. nm
:
P.S. I just wasnt sure whether it was best to put an ad on here on job seeker or apply to the
companies that are hiring instead.
I know your post wasnt directed at me
But I believe what you said you made. I also caught on very quick to MT, had a great account to learn on my first few years and pretty much went like gangbusters. I actually make less money now than I did then, simply because I seem to get lazier each year. LOL
If you type reasonably fast, have a decent account and actually work your set hours (unlike me), it's easy to make a good living. Of course, it's hard for all of these things to line up but when it does, it's a beautiful thing.

wasnt just "complaining", just stating a fact.

Easy platform, PTO if you are employee, production incentive, direct deposit, work flow varies on
different accounts, but usually have enough to keep busy, lots of QA feedback.
They work with you to make sure you get the lines required or the amount of lines you want...
I have never had a problem getting more work
Wasnt expecting anything but got a nice box of chocolates and a card
I shared my chocolates with neighbors because Lordy, Lord, I do not need to be looking at a nice box of chocolates all day, because I wouldnt be looking at it all day - know what I mean? :}
Wasnt that software awful. Quit after one day. Too many programs to open before you could even do
a single report..What a waste of time.. too bad though. They seemed to be a really nice company to work for, but there was no way I was taking half the day to do two reports. NO WAY>>>
Wasnt Bonnie with Medware, then StatIQ or something and now Transolutions?? Kinda makes you worry
when a recruiter keeps changing jobs too.. Maybe, it's because she is unsure of whether her companies do or DONT offshore... Hmmmmm...(scratching my head) Could just be the sad state of affairs in that before you know it, even the most solid people become job hoppers. I had ONE job for 10 years and all I have done since I started doing this at-home stuff is job hop. Very discouraging.
Just the right amount here...sm
I get the hours I am scheduled for. I've been there a few months now. Going fine. Off of OT finally but not running out.
NO BONUSES

Bonuses
You missed the point completely. This is a profitable MT service with over 600+ MTs. There is nothing thoughtful at all about sending an item that cost less than $4 (no exageration on that figure by the way), with no letter of recognition, no Happy Holidays, no nothing. It certainly sent a message to me of how much they valued the job I did this year for them. Furthermore I have gotten very inexpensive gifts in the past from both large and smaller MTSOs that were not expensive but thoughtful and totally appreciated, so please do not interpret this strictly as a money issue.
Bonuses
One very nice bonus from some local docs I take care of. One extremely tacky cheap bonus from my main employer. While I don't think anything is owed, and did not even expect anything, I am struggling with the fact that this was absolutely insulting.
bonuses
Once in a blue moon they will offer a bonus if an account is in severe backlog, but no regular incentive bonuses. They already pay pretty well, so I'm not too concerned about production bonuses.
Why would they pay bonuses when they don't pay OT?
Bonuses
Too many people such as you tend to feel they are ENTITLED to a bonus no matter what the economy is. You should be very thankful that you even have a job (even one you complain about at every opportunity) when so many people are so much less fortunate than yourself.
