Considering some companies do give a weekly quota, maybe you shouldn't speak

  • OTI gives you a weekly quota. sm - MT

      • Yes, it's Oracle. Be persistent (sm) - MT
        • Oracle - Linda
  • Guess you got your answer, huh? - sm
  • as long as I meet TAT on my .... - I work when I want...
    • as long as I meet my TAT - Linda
  • Most companies need certain hours - MTbird
    • as far as needing certain hours that would conflict with IRS - rules for IC versus employee
      • IC cannot be told I need you to work between 1 and 5 but they can say I need these lines by - X o'clock. IC says yes or no. nm
        • That was my point :) - NM
    • Most companies... - Linda
      • Must be a small company. 1000 lines/day is not that impressive. nm - NoFighting
        • I think it depends on how long it took... - HMMM
        • there is a midsized company with 900 lines a day - but heavy producers can't get large
          • Balancing act - Find your size company
        • WHy should I care if you are impressed or not. It it suits me, I don't give a darn if anyone - else is impressed. nm
        • Must be a small company - Linda
    • There are still companies that need your work by a certain - deadline and it's up to you to get it
      • But could you just not turn on computer that day and NOT do the work. Or could you call and say - weren't going to work that day and they were ok
        • I could call and say - Linda
          • Yes, but if you called off suddenly a couple times a month because you just didn't feel like - working, you would be unemployed. nm
            • I could call and say - Linda
        • yes I could but if I already said I would accept work, I don't - do that very often or will find myself
          • Exactly! MTSO needs a consistent IC that she can count on. Take off now and then but you - have to be dependable. nm
        • I think this could only be done with a huge client base, or a huge number of say only - discharge reports. nm
  • SM - anon
    • Good Companies - Linda
  • MT is a job, not a hobby that you just do when and how much you want. How do you expect an MTSO - to run a business under those conditions? nm
    • There are companies that manage to make it work. OTI, for example. nm - MT
    • I worked when and how much I wanted for years - sm
      • Thank you. nt - Good Sense
      • MT is a job, not a hobby... - Linda
        • Your OP "where I can work when and how much I want". How did you think we would - take such a statement? nm
      • MTSOs need to know the work is going to be done consistently. Not just when someone feels like - turning on their computer. nm
        • Considering some companies do give a weekly quota, maybe you shouldn't speak - for all MTSOs. ?? yes?
        • Ok then - MTSOs need to get intelligent enough to figure out how to - PREPARE for the work flow, and plan and hire
          • Walk in my shoes - Patti
            • Shouldn't you be factoring that into the bid and making accommodations for - that to happen in the bid and the cost?
              • Sure, factor it in, but no one knows what the future holds and MTSO has no control over those - issues. nm
          • MTSOs have no control over the factors that would make this - possible. nm
            • Aren't MTSOs the owners? Well if owners of MT companies - are not working up a bid, then I
              • The bid has nothing to do with consistancy of work. MTSO cannot control how cosistant work is. - Only facilities and Drs. control that. nm
          • Perfect MT world - MT is not a hobby
    • MT is a job - Linda
      • I apologize if I sounded rude to you - MTbird
        • MT is a job - Linda
          • MT is work not hobby - Is this what you meant?
            • It does work for some companies. OTI is one. Please - MT
              • placed=place (typo police abound). nm - MT
    • I was told to think of it as a career. - wow
    • I wish there was an icon that shows cartwheels and pom-poms!! I agree. Why - MTSO
      • And why do MTSOs treat ICs as employees? nm - MT
      • Toughest hobby I ever had. - anon

          • So what are you saying? - PTMT
            • IC - Crabby
              • Okay, well, I still don't think - PT IC

I am in a bit of a financial jam and need a quick fix until I get paid on Nov. 27.  Any ideas?

TIA

EFD in Texas, New England Medical Transcription (NEMT) and a company called On-Call, although neither of these companies have had ads posted recently.  Hope this helps. 

Also, have you ever thought about working for a temp service.  They usually pay weekly.  I don't know where you are located and how many temporary services are in your area, but I think this would be worth a try, considering your circumstance.

Thanks for any info!

I am recently divorced with 2 small children and I am desperately looking for a company that I can work part-time with that pays weekly to help make ends meet.  Does anyone know of a decent company that offers part-time work and weekly pay?  Thanks so much in advance!!!! 

I am looking for a good company that pays bi-weekly - fair pay - good platform - decent accounts!

Thanks everyone!

I am leaving my in-house employment and would love any information that can be given to me regarding companies that pay weekly.  I have a done a search, but haven't found any recent information.  I appreciate any help you can offer. 

Thank you!

assigned work, as in a handful of dictators.  I am looking to pick up some clinic work without large armies of dictators to get used to!
Thanks!

Questions for DSG QA folks.  Do they pay per hour or by line?  I heard someone say by the line, but then someone else say they had to give feedback.  I have never worked for someplace that paid you by the line AND expected you to give feedback also.   If it is by the line, do they have a daily quota?

Thanks

Has anybody out there ever used all accessible shortcuts, typed steadily, and seen after a grueling 8, 9, 10 hours lines equalling approx 77 per hour?    I refuse to think myself as doing something wrong:  Just want to hear from ANYBODY who has done what s/he can, yet finds him/herself always unable to meet productivity.  I am at a crossroads right now so it is a good time to leave transcription, but I cannot believe my forays into at-home land yield the same results:  exhaustion, impossible quotas, and the sneaking suspicion that the nearly-industry-wide policy of not paying for headers is cruel, immoral, and unethical--CONSIDERABLE quality time is spent on getting this info right, and what automatically populates must often be, umm, massaged by our exhausted fingers.  I would love to hear any comments from anybody about how they met productivity.  I would need to increase by almost 100% in order to barely tread water:  I cannot do it.  Just wondering how all you VERY hard-working people survive.  Wish there were an emoticon for throwing in the towel.
