Compensation not listed

Has anyone else ever emailed a company when they do not list their rate of compensation only to be ignored? This really irks me. Why can't they just list what they are offering so we don't have to waste our time? This really annoys me.

New MT compensation
Does anyone know what the range is with the new MT compensation package?
SPI compensation
Was an MT at SPi, but gone now...you MTs who are still there for some unknown reason and who are fighting for work need be standing up for yourselves. If this company expects you to commit to a schedule and sit there until the work shows up (or doesn't show up until your shift is over and the night person gets it), then they should be paying you unemployment....call your local labor department in your state and they will tell you this. This just isn't fair. AND, if you think this new line rate increase they gave you is a raise think again - they did that to try to make up for what they've taken away, making it a less bitter pill for you to swallow....makes me gag, quite frankly and sad that you guys sit there and take it. You can rest assured that if they realize their profit margin is still not what they expect with this new plan, they will be taking money out of your pocket another way either in the way of benefits of some other behind the scenes change in the counting configurations, or they will pull you from your primary account and putting you onto a more difficult one that they charge more on. Do the math....just more smoke and mirrors, in IMO.
SPI New Compensation
Wondering if other SPI MTs are seeing a huge difference in their lines with SPIs new compensation plan. Even without counting the headers, which I previously did get credit for, it looks like at least a 30% decrease. Is that possible or am I missing something? I certainly did not get enough of a bump in my line rate to cover this.
compensation
5 cents a line??? you have got to be kidding! How can you make a living on 5 cents a line??
SPI New Compensation
Now that it has been a few weeks since SPI announced their new compensation plan, I am wondering -- Is anyone at all making more money than they were before? Also for those who are not, how much of a cut has it worked out to be per hour? In my case, it has been at least a cut of a few dollars an hour. This is not my main job (thank goodness), but I am wondering how it is working out most of the MTs who have stuck with them through all of the chaos of the last year.
your compensation? You get sm
your compensation in the form of your paycheck. Your employer expects the best you can give and I hope your employer hires the best MTs out there. Also what about safety to the patient? Somewhere it seems to me that some MTs are forgetting that there are actually real PATIENTS behind these reports! You have a bad attitude!
UE compensation at 50% - that's just a bit - SM
higher than having to go to VR from MT (4 cpl from 8, 8.5, 9) which is 45% to 50% of regular pay.
transcend compensation..sm
Would anyone be willing to share what Transcend starts pay at for employees and independent contractors?
Compensation Plan
I actually did not expect to make more but did not expect to take the hit I have taken. I expected a wash money-wise at the very least. They were already scrambling to try and keep people, so I just cannot understand the logic on their end. They say they need an American staff but their actions show another direction.
WHAT IS THE COMPENSATION FOR 'GIVING THE BEST I CAN?' ..sm
Error-free reports?
Are you planning to eliminate QAing and raise the cpl rate for MTs?
Awaiting your answer.
Unemployment compensation
Has anyone been able to collect unemployment due to lack of work? This is towards those who are employees and not ICs. I was just wondering if we are eligible for something like that. I've never collected in my life and was just curious if anyone else had.
Hmm. Wonder what the "incentive" compensation is for?
Could it be a less inflammatory euphemism for a a bonus given for driving out the pricey US MTs, thereby self-fulfilling the 'No MTs in America justification for offshoring?
Those of you with a little bit of a memory may recall that the same thing was done to our IT/CS people back 10 years ago. A lot of people either shrugged and said they were overpaid anyway or figured it couldn't happen to them.
What's that poem about First they came... We all should have stood up against the offshoring years ago. Now they've come for us.
Question about unemployment compensation
I work for a national that introduced a new platform several months ago that has had problems virtually daily, ranging from bad sound, jobs not showing up on line count, to long jobs actually being "taken away" from someone and given to someone else after the original person completed most, if not all, of the job.
The newest problem it now has seems to be that you can't access work on this program when work truly does exist. However, it's impossible to tell if the program isn't working or if there truly isn't any work. So you never know just what's going on. Tech support can't fix the problem, and if management cares, they sure don't show it. In addition to all this, my account has suddenly been overstaffed, so I'm constantly fighting for jobs. I can't tell if the new person is being played as a favorite, if the program is malfunctioning or if there simply isn't any work. As a result, I can't earn enough money to pay my bills, and this is through no fault of my own.
If I quit under these circumstances, can I collect unemployment (until I can find another job)? Does anyone know?
TIA. 
Yes, that is the way I read the email. MORE than adequate compensation
lllll
Come on gals...the compensation..ah...putting it tamely...>>
IT stinks! It's becoming worse, if that is possible. There is a better way of compensating MT employees, take into consideration, naturally primary, education, et cetera. I think I mentioned it here before, but I do not recollect having received a response.
Some thing HAS to be done, and soon. For we, the ole' timers, like the actual hands-on approach, and it is still FUN! That's what it's all about and really should be, Job=Fun, as it also appears to me. Let's not lose it to a bunch of unpredictable terminators. javascript:editor_insertHTML('text',' ');

QA compensation - anyone happy with what you're making?
I'm sorely tempted to look into a QA position and I was wondering how the compensation compared to transcribing. I would love to be paid hourly, but it seems most offer by-the-line pay. I know there are variables (platform, ESL, etc.) but I'm trying to come up with some type of comparable compensation formula just as a jumping-off point for negotiation. Anyone care to elaborate on what they're earning, how they're paid, and how this compares to their transcribing earnings?
Difficult dictation = higher compensation
If management would manage supervisors, we would all be happier people. Morale suffers greatly when there is an uneven playing field - especially when money is at stake.
Do you realize how miserable an MT is when she is struggling to hear a single word, wondering if she can meet her lines (and her bills) to keep her job, knowing full well that others are making so much more money and gaining admiration by cheating? That is what kills me.
Good luck in your endeavor.
I agree with youl, but be smart enough to ask for this compensation in advance!

Excellent! Congrats on finding an employee status job with decent compensation! nm

Do they have an ad up currently? They were listed on the other Job board, but I don't see them
s
There are several companies you listed
that are not Indian companies. Several of them offshore, but they are U.S. companies.
There are a lot more than 3 jobs listed on
x
The two listed on ad post are former
They were there when I was working with YOG until Medquist ruined it all. They left because of all the garbage going on. I was hoping they could get things going strong with FutureNet.
You listed the basic ones
Let's not forget about burping, yawning, coughing, sneezing, chewing/eating....... the list goes on.
Saw them listed as places to do internship (sm)
for MT training from Penn Valley.
just mainly wanting to know if the location was north of the river.
look to the left it is listed under Medquist
right underneath company board
I was black listed because I refused a job with TRS
Then, I was told they called the other company I as going back to and I would not be allowed to go back there either. Lucky for me, I had 2 jobs already.
Just read 5-7 2 ads listed MT jobs
This is unbelievable and sad for those who feel there is no choice out there. As long as these are accepted they will continue to be offered. Emails to the company saying -
- 5-7 cents a line huh, what do you suppose this comes out as an hourly rate Shame on you this is slave labor.
I have also seen 4 cents a line for MTs, yes. Nonsense MTs, keep looking around..
They are listed at the AAMT site, if that
means anything. The name Medical Records Corp was also connected to a company that was bought by MQ in the early days. That was a very good company. I can't find a website for this MRC out of MD, but I would be interested to hear anything you learn.
It's TRX...the OP listed on the title of her post
Not JobSeekers, but the JobBank. One job listed.
:)
they're not listed on Manta.com

There is no suite number listed. I did not see one.
945 E. Paces Ferry is a building full of offices. Where did you see the office suite number and what is it? I live in Atlanta and can go see for myself ---that is, if I have a suite number.
Client names cannot be listed here.
Was Being "On Call 24/7 By I/R" Listed?
If I missed it, it should be added to this excellent list.
They are listed on MTIndia with 3 locations in India.
Go to MTIndia Job Center.
Could you possibly email me at my address listed above..sm
and tell me on average how many lines you can do in an hour? I know there are a lot of variables to consider but it would give me some idea of what I might expect too. I have 28 years experience and consider myself quite good, but I know sometimes the software, demographics, etc. can slow you down. Also, is there a lot of work on the accounts? I like to do about 2000 lines a day. Thank you for taking the time to help me.
There is a transcriptionist job listed in my local newspaper (sm)
It says fax CV to ---
Does anyone know what CV means? The only think I can think of is maybe Certificate Verification?
Thanks.
On a jobs board. It is listed as a supervisor.
Many usually ask how to get into companies as a recruiter. This is one chance I guess but you do have to have experience according to the ad if I recall in MT and QA.
When I hired on they stated the account was listed as 30-35% ESL (sm)
but they thought the percentage might be a litte higher. I have had quite a few ESL, probably closer to 45-50%, but only one was what I considered really horrible and when I went back, QA had left some blanks too, so I didn't feel too bad.
Have been doing this for 20+ years and I still say I would rather have an ESL anyday compared to a mushmouthed speed demon.
So far everything about them and the account I am on has held true to what they said. Very nice people, good sound quality and the program is easy to work on.
AND.. number they listed comes up as residential, isn't this a business??
Being nice but still smell a rat
What?! Do you have your number listed in the phone book?
This is the same info they can get out of the phone book, i.e., name, address, and phone number. This is not what they use to commit identify theft. They would use the general information from your resume to phish for more detailed information, such as SS# or bank account/cc account info. This is also what they would get out of your trash if for some reason you don't shred this info before you throw it out. Also, with past employers, they are only allowed to give basic info, such as length of employment and whether you're eligible for rehire. They can be held legally responsible if they give out detailed information about you!
I am very realistic that I'm not immune to identify theft, but also I know the law and know that I shouldn't be paranoid about someone stealing my identity. I take the appropriate steps to protect myself and monitor my credit report frequently.
OSI good company to work for and others listed
Any info would be appreciated about these companies. Incentive pay/medical premiums, good accounts, Word-based platforms?
What about Transolutions, Med-Scribe, MedWare, Northeast Transcription, E-MTS, JLG. I know there is a lot here but I am tired of bouncing around this past year. Want to find a place to make a decent living and stay put!! Need good bennies, decent platform, decent account, and plenty of work. I know, I know that is what we all want isn't it?
Thanks!!!
It seems that recruiter is still listed on Medware's website as well as
MedScribe's. That is really strange.
Google has them listed as a dangerous website.
I found a temporary homepage at another link when I Googled, but that's as far as I could get without the Google page to beware if you continue.
Regular and VR lines are listed separately
NM
Most of the weekend workers you listed make more than some
of the MTs on the board, so are they not getting better pay than the MT? Certainly, the baby-delivering doctor, the cops, the tip-receiving club works, blah, blah, blah.
Since your reply doesn't even address the actual question being asked, how selfish of you to take up valuable space on the board to vent your indignation about others.
Anyone have any info on MT Professional listed on Seekers board? nm
nm
Their specs on listed on their nicely designed website..
,
OK, here's the deal. If they really had clients in all those cities listed, there would be SOMET
on Google and there is nothing. Janelle Axelrod? Never heard of her and there are few people that I haven't at least heard of in this business. Same office building as Transcend? Not likely. That is in the high rent district in Buckhead and a fairly new transcription company who nobody has ever heard of cannot afford that kind of rent. Something is really wrong with this picture.
Of the MTSOs listed on the eScription website, should I run away from any of them?? Bad news? sm
