Correction...Not 12 cpl...

In Reply to: So far so good with WMX-sm - cindylouwho
You'd have to make between 10.72 and 10.1 cpl for straight typing to make 7.5 cpl for ISR at Webmedx. I don't think a relative newbie with only 5 years experience is making over 8.5 cpl starting with Webmedx. Correct me if I'm wrong. I just don't believe it for a minute.

What determines their line? I am stressed these days. Thanks.

Sorry, title should read I Believe That...

Re: Why would anyone be WILLing to slave over this work for 27-YEAR-OLD wages?
Actually would be correct to have just said regressive wages...
Correction
this isn't clear:
The corporations call the shots with YOUR Congress/government primarily because AMERICANS are so easily pacified and distracted by the toys these corporations made for that exact purpose.
They (corporations) call the shots because of their influence; and CONGRESS helped to give them that power in the late 1800s by passing certain laws which gave the corp. similar rights to individuals...
I mixed two thoughts originally...
Correction - sorry
feedback on that PROGRAM (i.e. Isagenix), not problem.
rad pay correction
I need to clarify this was only for emergency coverage and is temporary. My supervisor informs me that once we go to VR, only 2 inhouse full-time transcriptionists will be used and those positions are filled.
correction
meant same nonexistent or uncommon email service provider

Worked for them in mid 90s, not 80s....it's been a long day!

let you go that should read.
Correction
80% + ESL account
Correction
Whoops! I meant places, not placed.....
Just a correction...sm
your base rate is NOT $9....it is based on YOUR line rate, so for everyone it is different. I actually get quite a bit more than that. Also, Medware has more than one platform, so what is happening on the Dictaphone side is NOT necessarily happening on the Merit side, and not everyone is unhappy on the Dictaphone side. Not THAT many have left. Just so you know and can make an informed decision.
Correction.
Completely different atmosphere on CMX side.
Correction
Whoops, I meant to say I HOPE, not I CAN. It's way late where I am, so I had best pack it in for the night. Sorry for the error.
Correction: Above should be "...NO announcement..." NM

Correction to post - sm
I have also seen positive and negative things mentioned about virtually every transcription company discussed on this web site. Didn't mean to say companies that YOU discussed on this web site!!

OSI - I am so sorry - PLEASE NOTE CORRECTION
Note correction in CAPS
If you do control S for a job and click on statistics you will get a number of lines. If you are on OSI's very own line cheating Xpress server, that number will be much HIGHER (NOT LOWER) than the IChart line count. Do this. Do only one job for the day then write down the correct line count using the above method. Go to IChart although it may take hours to show up so you may want to do this on a day off. There is your proof. I-CHART LINES ARE LOWER THAN OSi X-PRESS LINES. The reason the correct statistics are disabled on the XPress server is because OSi is skimming lines and don't want you to see the correct number. OSI is diligently trying to eventually get every possible account on their very own XPress server so they can cheat on all accounts. Rest assured that they are billing the client for the correct line count. I could not make any money with OSI because of their dishonesty. Dictaphone Extext is a good system but OSI could change how it was set up and rip the MT's off.
Correction - sorry for confusion
I apologize for not checking this before -- I just found a problem with my suggestion, so here's the deal:
You are better off forcing the format - as you did to h:mm:ss (or hh:mm:ss), to ensure that all cells display consistently. This does force you to have to enter more digits for hours though.
There is a shortcut for entering data -- for 00:05:12 (5 minutes, 12 seconds), you can type: 0:5:12
For 00:05:01 you can type 0:5:1
This may be more foreign than just adding the extra leading zero, but if you're hyper about cutting every keystroke, you can....
Then when you add down a column, there's nothing special to do in the sum.
Sorry for any confusion.
Holidays correction
I'm sorry the above poster is right. If you want off you have to take it without pay or use PTO. You get paid extra if you work the holiday...which to me is a bonus as so many don't pay anything extra for holidays. Sorry for the confusion.
Whose QA gets paid per correction?
We get paid hourly, although I do know there are some who get paid per line. The folks I know paid per line get credit for the full report, not just their corrections. They also are the first blamed if a client reports an error in a report that has passed through QA.
Correction - "a few WORDS"....

Correction **4.5-5.5 cpl VR** not MR. Please excuse
Ty.
correction to first post
Oops--I know ISDN is a location-to-location thing so that's out as far as working for a national. I recall a while back that several MTs mentioned they worked for nationals using hughes.net/satellite. Thanks again for any info.
correction low not lowl
slip of the finger
CORRECTION - not post right above, the mean one
xxx
Correction to my above post. I just looked
and I apologize. I had to wait until the 1st of the next month, not the 15th (maybe it just seemed longer) for that money to be in the bank. So for that payroll from the 1st until the 15th, I had to wait until the 1st (though the payroll was late). Guess all the waiting just seemed longer. That still is the longest I have had to wait for a payday. So when I quit, I also had the same thing. I just went through the paperwork.
In any event it SEEMED like a very long time and particularly with some of the paydays being late.
I do apologize as I certainly do not like to give incorrect info.
When you have kids though it does hurt. In other words, I started on the 1st of the month and first paycheck was not until the 1st of the next month except it was late.
Correction: Don't get all excited now...they are NOT paying at least 8 cpl.
Correction: Should NOT expect to be paid

correction to thin-skinned
I meant I don't really THINK that is necessary...
Oops-correction, s/b learned!
Need more coffee! 
oops, correction, spoke too soon -- sm
OSi does not appear to offer health insurance, etc. on their website ... they do offer holiday pay and other nice things ...
Correction to Minnie Mouse
Whoops, I meant to say lowly MT, not lowly MD. (That wouldn't be me, I hated science.) I was up nearly all night last night working. No work shortage here. Anyway, sorry I made an error in typing, hope the grammar/typing cops don't launch their grenades at me. :)
Correction to last sentence of my post...sm
It should have read:
Doing so makes you as unethical as the accusations being made.
Whoooops! Correction to text!
Another MDIer, I meant to say GRAB it, not CRAB it, but who knows, might have been a Freudian slip! :)
Correction: This wasn't Proscript - Optiscript - sm
Proscript does pay the same as above but has nice perks that help to make up for the low base line rate.
Correction: They owned the other one and built this which one which is much larger. sm
I just read this in one of the magazines and asked my lead if they were moving far. She said it is literally across the parking lot from a small office to a huge building, taking on the whole building. I am thrilled to be part of a growing company instead of the sinking ship I was on!!!
correction: Full of assumptions and generalizations nm

Correction--I should have said wireless router, not modem
Wireless routers allow you to hook your computer up via ethernet. It goes between the modem and the computer.
Correction. They do watch every move we make
And you cannot sign out more than once (for break) for your 15 minutes during your shift. You must work every minute during your shift and no break longer than 15 minutes. If not they will come to you and question you why you were not on. You have to have a pretty good answer or you will have to decide if you want the job or not. Regarding cherry picking there can be none, but on the other hand there does not have to be, if you get the ESLs you will get mostly all ESLs and it is your problem not theirs if you don't do ESLs 99% and with appropriate line count. None of this is mis-spoken it is the solid truth.
correction..."in order to work as an MT in the US"
...
typo correction right quick to my post
We have been LOW to ZERO WORK for a VERY LONG time now. Going deeper and deeper in a hole financially. How is your paycheck, mgmt????
Correction to list below of Companies that do not off shore
Optiscript in State College,Pa DOES off shore. I was offered a job with them until I heard from a very reliable source that they even have offices out of the country. Stay away!
Correction. Just visited the forum and the "food stamps"
post seems to have magically disappeared. Hmmmmmmmmmm.. wonder why.

*correction* tech support was like listening to the worst

it means you use the mouse to put the cursor where you want to make a correction
with keystrokes.
The other way is to use the shortcuts, a combination of keys.
OMG, Correction, brain fart, Axolotl doesn't run out and if they so you get paid. nm
