Tier 4 is the highest tier at MQ, operative reports only. nm

High tier 4 now (out of 5--whatever) was highest MQ tier.
Can pretty much do it all. I detest pathology, too, and thick Russian accents. :)
New tier pay
I am a rehire with MQ. I found out about it when they offered me a half-cent less, but went on and on about how this tier pay plan would allow me to make up the difference. It's one of the "the more you type, the more you make" deals! As an IC, I'm not impressed!
MQ tier pay sm
That isn't very tempting when DQS keeps you from making a decent number of lines.
MT tier pay
I have been with MQ since 1983 but I have to respond on this tier pay thing. It stinks. The office I am at actually LOWERED the pay. I have been on tier pay for years and it was fine but when they closed one office and transferred to another, the tier pay was different. 4500 more lines per pay period before tier pay even started and then it only goes up 1/4 cent at that rate instead of 1/2 cent. I have screamed about it but have found out not all MQ offices are the same and they set their own rates. Now that the office I work for is closing too, I am wondering about tier pay. Its all a joke far as I am concerned when it comes to that subject.
Tier 3
This means you get all type of reports OR, DS, H&P, and others, etc. With Tiers 1 and 2, your limited to certain reports...I don't believe they do ORs. They may just do DS or H&Ps.
tier 3
I am a tier 3 with Medquist and harmonization says 10 cpl is the max.
What's a Tier 4 MT? - NM

MQ has a tier 3 level that is only Ops
nm
I think so ... first tier starte at 13,000 sm
then next is 14,500, 16,000 (I think) and ultimately 20,001.
MedQuist has a tier 4/ops only, but you have to

it tells you your tier rate
on the sheet that comes with thepacket. If you are a Tier 2 like me when I wanna be a Tier 3 I have to test. That's for everyone. I don't know about new hires as SE's are changing to new hire with 8 or 16 or 24 hour work week. Maybe an SE can answer this who has the packet, I am full time.
amphion pay scale tier 3? - nm
nm
We are on a tier system, Base pay
for so many per pay period, then increased in 0.5 cpl increments for so many lines up to a maximum.
We work on a tier system, the more
production, the more money for my FT job. My IC job I make 10 cpl.
BTW The pay at these times with the incentive tier
At least for my abilities and b/c I am willing to work hard. My checks after being so low elsewhere are finally getting back to where they should be, and the bill collectors are much happier, so I am too.
I guess I'm what you would call a tier 4........sm
I can type pretty much anything they throw my way except I do have trouble with heavy Russian accents and I detest pathology and had rather not do radiation oncology but I can do them if pushed.
What's on your mind?
MQ-New Testing for high tier pay rate
one more thought for the evening on the tier pay rates
are these rates for new hires or will our rate of pay be adjusted according to the stated tier
and does the testing only apply for new hires
any where on the packet does it actually state what your present rate is and if not, and all the packets being sent out are the same, why were we all called--do we have to sign anything and send it back to MQ and when does all this go into effect
thanks for all your help
That wasn't my experience, but their incentive tier goes by lph sm
which boosts your line rate, so that is kind of nice, since I was only working part-time. I thought the platform was rather slow, though. I normally average around 300 lph and even typing like a fiend, I could only make around 250 at Webmedx.
TT have several levels of coverage; I took the upper tier ($500 ded., 90%). nm
nm
Not sure, but they have a great incentive tier and differentials
and you can get those line counts. Reminds me of days working for the hospital, first time in years!
Diskriter pay tier scale decent?

what service area are you in and what tier level
nm
No Calcutta. Mumbai or some other Tier 3 city.

Incentive tier isn't so good when it's hard to make lines. I'm about

Has anyone ever left Keystrokes and gone back? I left a few months ago and realize that I made a
nm
It is as simple as filling out a form. I did it when I left an MTSO and when I left sm
a non-MT position at a company years ago.
What company? I did not know that any of them offer 401K anymore.
for MQ STAT employees tier rate applies to ME rate as well and how calcluated?
for a STAT MQ employee: Does anyone know if the tier rate is going to be applied to the ME rate as well or are they going to go with the 80% of the MT rate for each tier level? If the tier rate doesn't apply as well to the ME rate then going by the 80% of the MT rate is less than if the tier rate would be applied. I'm sure that MQ is going to go by whatever keeps money in their pockets. Guess this is a question for the supervisor tomorrow.
may I ask why you left? nm
,,
I would keep looking. I left after a
month because of the very low and convoluted pay scale, as well as the fact that I was never kept on an account long enough to build up any speed. Unless things have changed, you'll waste a lot of time looking up information that other services provide. They're nice people and they paid on time, but I didn't see enough earning potential so I moved on. BTW, I had 15 years of experience at that time and 99+% QA scores.
When I left
I was told by my PS that if I went with another company, MQ would one day buy it and then fire any MQ working there who had left MQ for that company. At the time it seemed like an empty threat, but who knows?
I did too, but left them behind and
if you want to email me I will tell you about my experience. I do not like the idea of posting negative things on this board, as everyone finds a company to be different for them. If interested, I will be glad to share.
I tell you why I left
Did you notice on Spantel the time difference? You could be working in the evening yet the system would show it was the next day? I was told about that when I was hired, yet I was constantly hearing from my manager about not having enough lines and there they were, credited for the next day. They lost paperwork constantly as well and I had to work an entire month before getting paid because somebody lost the paperwork I filled out.
I'd check my lines and see a list of jobs that showed 0 lines...yet go back in later and some would be there. It was very very inconsistent.
LOL - that's why I left!!
That is why I left
nn
will anybody be left?
OMG, I know how you feel. My position was also outsourced after 20 years. I currently work for a national; but I feel there is no job security. So, I plan to go back to school and get out of transcription. This is not a profession that I would advise anybody to get into.
I left because sm
My lead just WOULD NOT leave me alone. I don't mind working 40 hours a week or even a few more, but when I have a day off, I want it to be a day off. She was constantly emailing and saying Critical Status on _____ Account and she would call me on my days off and ask me to work. Now, I know some people welcome the extra work, but I am very fortunate to be in the position where I have a husband who makes a good salary and yes, I need a full-time job but I do not need overtime and I do not want to work seven days a week.
If the pay had been better, I would have just learned to be thick-skinned and ignore her when she kept bugging me, but the pay wasn't that great and I got an offer from some local doctors to do their overflow work and then found a second part-time job with a local MTSO and said bye-bye Keystrokes. Now I have weekends off and can basically set my own hours. Just call me Happy Camper.
I left OSi and went to SPi
I left OSi because my account coordinator changed about 3 times within a month then found the same thing happening at SPi. Now the word is out that another OSi account manager or maybe even 2 are leaving. This just gets old. I am very happily employed at Keystrokes now.
Thank you all. I like to see how much I have left to do. (nm)
actually not as many as you think have left
You're just speculating though!
I left also
more than once. Their new policy states that cannot be rehired for a year. If leave more than once may be 2 yrs before rehired. I know, they won't rehire me either. I gave them a little less than 2 wks. Luck of the draw I guess. Grass is not always greener on other side of track. Hang in there. There is still work out there, may not be with them, but you will not starve. I don't think you will anyway. :)
That is exactly why I have left the
MT world because it seems MOST of companies do not care about the MT, just themselves. I know it takes money to run a business, but why cheat on the MT's livelihood??? Anyway, I just got sick of the crap, and I found it to be totally
Unacceptable. That is my cents per line worth.
I left
because the line counting method jips you IMO. If you are not on Extext you may be fine. Wonderful people but I could not make my line count goals with them...
Been there- left
I agree about the statement that there are a few good team management players, but the one that did QA for me was horrible. Would send e-mails in CAPS. I felt that to be very unprofessional on her part. Filling in demographics was the pits. Not a money maker for me either. I left after the CAPPED e-mail. I would stay away from this company. Sound quality was bad as well. Posting my personal opinion.
I left the Q in Dec
and am now a HAPPY Keystroker!! Good luck, what account do you have?? 
Left QT
Fortunately I left QT when If first heard the rumors, several months before they closed, LAJ was nice enough to allow me to continue to work part time so the transition was not too bad, except it was a big drop from gross back to characters. I too left and went to WMX but only stayed about a month and then moved on, have been at the current company 6 months and a lot like QT, one account pretty much, very basic account instructions, 12 hour window, I still miss QT but am happy now with benefits.
Has anyone left MQ and still
Getting their E-mail??
Had it and left - sm
I went with my cable company...no cap. Unlimited really means unlimited. For me, cable was cheaper, faster and much more reliable.
Just left there and sm
I couldn't get out quick enough. They promise endless work and that turned out to be a great big bust. They constantly run out of work. The QA dept is ok or I should say there is at least one person in the QA dept I dealt with that is good. The other I can't say for certain she even knew what she was doing as I received some really iffy feedback from her that I had to question. The platform IS Apex and it stinks pure and simple. It is nonproductive and slow as all get out. I also think the line counts are not what they should be but there is no way to verify that as it's all done internally within the platform. If you're looking for production and to make money I'd recommend you running the other way. There are so many other opportunities out there. Good luck to you though.
When I left
I was making 9.75 cents a line. I would not have stayed if they had offered me nine dollars a line. After I quit, someone from MQ called and asked what it would take get to have me come back. I told them there was not enough money in all the world to entice me to come back.
Then you should have just left it at that
There was no need to even mention anything other than this particular MTSO is a crook. If you didn't want anyone to make comments about your friend then you should not have even brought her up, or how much she is owed.
Your friend has learned a hard and valuable lesson and you get to go on a headhunt. Nice of you to take on the cause, but if her kids are starving I would think a sack of groceries would go a lot further than your ego.
