Paying for spaces?
Run from a company that does not pay for spaces. Your thumb gets a workout just like the rest of the fingers. My thumb is worth compensation! lol
At least they were upfront with u on not paying for spaces...
they told me mine included spaces and it doesn't!! RIDICULOUS!!
IF NOT PAYING FOR SPACES BEHIND YOUR BACK

VBC is code for not paying for spaces
Don't be deceived. VBC (virtual black character) is simply a new way of saying - no pay for hitting the spacebar between words.
perhaps not paying for spaces does not start until your
MTSOs contract is renewed with that particular VA hospital.
So is LeePerfect still paying for spaces, or just VBC?

But no longer paying for spaces IS a pay cut...?
If spaces previously being paid for are no longer being paid, that constitutes a pay cut; not in the sense of cents per line or cents per character, but nonetheless a cut in pay.
Your post totally confused me.
What company isn't paying spaces?
What Editscript company stopped paying for spaces? Confused?
I never understood how MTSOs came up with not paying for spaces. sm
You have to hit the spacebar just like anything else, and the document would be pretty darned hard to read without them. I refuse to work for cheaterhead companies like that. Thanks for passing along the information.
Not paying for spaces can be okay if the characters per line is shorter.
55 characters without spaces is roughly equivalent to 65 with spaces.
MEANT to type NOT paying for SPACES....TOO EARLY.NM
XXXXXXXXXXX
Old posts say improper line counting and not paying for spaces were SOME of the probs. nm

Are these companies that are paying less for
reports done by VR and paying 50% or so to the MT also reducing their charges to the hospitals by 50%? I don't think so. I think you all bought lemons and are trying to recoop your losses at our expense.
Where are these companies paying .10 cpl??
I just quit my job about 10 minutes ago...woohoo!! I'm going to enjoy what's left of the summer with my only child and then I'll polish up the resume. In the meantime, I have a few things I can sell on ebay. lol
Companies paying more than 4 for VR
Yes, a cent or 2 more. Still nowhere near enough for the amount of work involved.
Any companies paying .10+/line?
If so, who and where are they??
companies paying late
Why do some companies have to wait one month to pay you and other companies can pay you 3-4 days after you submit payroll? I will and won't ever get that. All I know is you are supposed to get paid the 1st and 15th or every other week, unless the pay day falls on a Saturday or Sunday the check should be in your direct deposit in your bank, no excuses. I have worked for small companies and larger nationals and it just imazes me how one will pay on time and the other will not and always will come up with one excuse after another. But, if you bounce checks because of late pay that you are supposed to get a certain date that does not help either. I guess it all depends on who does the bookkeeping/records/payroll huh? We all work too hard to get late paychecks and it is not fair to any of us.
Are there any companies paying on the 5th and 20th?nm
x
Any companies paying MTs by the minute?
If you know of any, would you please provide company names?
Hourly paying companies
Can you give me the name of the company? I would appreciate it.
Thank you
These companies are not paying anymore than that.
So, unless she gets her own accounts and cuts out the middle man she's not going to find a company to pay more than 9.5 cpl.
My take on weekly paying companies...sm
I have worked for a few weekly paying companies. the dictation was either horrible or they had horrible complicated formatting rules/issues. They seem to want you to jump through hoops for that weekly pay. But that is MY opinion only.
There is one on one of the job boards that pays weekly.
Companies are putting more costs on us and paying us less nm
ww
You are exactly right. It is the crap companies paying by the line. (nm)
nm
Even companies outside of the home, even outside of healthcare, are paying less and less sm
of the premium. My husband pays $700+ per month to have coverage for all of us, and my sister pays over $500 for her family. My husband is with a Fortune 500 company, ad my sister is in banking. Sad what this is coming to. They are right to call it a healthcare crisis; right now, you are better off on welfare than working in terms of medical care and costs.
companies paying by gross line
Does anyone know any companies that pay by gross line? Any info would be appreciated.
Any companies out there paying 9.5 to 10 cpl for employee status with bennies?
Please!. I am looking. I have 20+ years experience in all work-types, acute care, multispeciality clinic, 98% and above on accuracy, 1600 lines per day. I'm sort of desperate, but don't want to settle!
Question - have I not been paying attention or are there a lot of new companies advertising. (sm)
I think a lot of the older smaller companies were eaten up by the giants and maybe some new ones are starting. Were these companies out there before and I just didn't notice?
What companies pay for spaces and...
headers? The company I am with now pays for spaces but not headers so I was just wondering.
Most companies DO pay for spaces. Only a few
x
Many companies pay for spaces, you just have
to do a little research. On Job Seeker's board, a lot of them tell you whether they do or not.
Which companies do not count spaces?
I am wondering which ones are doing this that you know of. Thanks.
What companies pay for spaces, headers and footers?
I've been an acute care Transcriptionist for 27 years now, pushing age 50, and
"burned out" I suppose. Anyway, looking to maybe do some easy multispecialty clinic work or pediatric clinic with little or no ESL, making at least 9 cpl with benefits, with 12-24 hour frame to finish a predetermined amount of lines.
Are there any jobs out there that would offer me this? 
Think about it if you couldn't count spaces.... a lot of companies.....
don't count spaces. Header information we don't transcribe anyway so why get paid for it.
When I am renting, I am PAYING; when I'm working, THEY are paying ME. sm
Seems I should be running a credit check on the potential employer to see if THEY are responsible with their money, not the other way around.
I think most places pay for spaces. I work for TransTech and they pay for both spaces
as well as punctuation. I would never work for an MTSO that doesn't.
65 with spaces versus 65 without spaces; how to calculate?
Can someone tell me if you are getting 9 cents per 65-character line with spaces how much you would need to be paid per line to make the same amount per line if you are offered a ''65-character line without spaces?'' Thank you very much
So, if not spaces paid, what cpl would be comparable to at least 9 cpl w/spaces, do you know??
Thanks.
All compaines count lines different--with spaces, without spaces, headers or no headers, 65 characte
a line, 75 characters, etc. I would ask each of them how they count their lines. Sometimes the way lines are counted does not make a company worth working for.
54 without spaces = 65 with spaces if you do the math nm

Yes they are only paying me 8 cpl. sm
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 we don't know how they are paying us...
when we transcribe, how the heck will we found out how they pay us for ASR? Do you have a clue how they are paying you? Or will you be THE ONLY ONE asking. This is almost funny but not-when I got trained on DEP one girl had the courage to ask questions about how they would be paying us, why everyone is complaining that their line counts go down, etc. The trainer kept repeating "7000 MTs are using it and LOVING it". I wish I was 1 of them.
Still not paying?
My understanding from posts on this site is that only MTs on a certain account were out of work and not paid etc due to losing account? You mean MTs on remaining accounts are now quitting and not getting paid either? Is this the case? Wow.
She also tries to get out of paying you
when I called her on it she told me I was not mature enough to work for her! Whatever homer! If wanting to get paid makes me immature - sobeit!
they cannot get away with not paying OT
if they asked someone to work OT. Geez, c'mon sense. BTW, anyways is not a word.
not paying
Please tell your friend to get in touch with the attorney general's office/state where this MTSO is based, Better Business Bureau of her state and MTSO state and the labor board, and for her not to work any more for this person. Labor Board will tell her the same.
DIT is not paying
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?
DIT not paying
I don't know who DIT is, but I am having the same problem with NU Transcription in Maine. They have not paid me anything and I started working for them 10/31/2008!
DIT is not paying
Are you still typing cases for them? I did for a while because I was foolish enough to believe they were going to fix it. I've been with them for almost two years and enjoyed it a lot. Since that third check bounced, I just cannot work for free anymore.
Is it just for KS not paying for OT, or does it
include shorting on line counts?
Then I'd go with the better-paying job.
