I am confused.  Is that right - you make an hourly wage when there is no work available?  How long has that been going on?  I have worked there for some time and have NEVER been paid for when there was no work.  Please explain.

I also did not know that they had editing.  QA position?

Do they have a 24-hour window or do you provide a schedule? Also, is the pay still low? Do they ever offer bonuses of incentives?

TIA! :)

just a little over 6 cpl.  I am amazed that companies get away with paying such low wages.  Good luck if you decide to go there.

1.  The reason it is hourly is so they can pay you on a 1980's pay scale.  It is nothing more than bait to use as an excuse to pay you less.

2.  Many hourly QAs tend to dump jobs they don't want for someone else to do the dirty work.  The high producers who care about their work end up doing most of the work.

3.  If you get paid by the line you make at least 50% more.  I left an hourly QA job about a month ago for one that pays by the line and I doubled my income within two weeks.  By working on the long jobs other QAs don't want, I make a lot of money.

4.  Hourly QAs make about half of what good MTs make. 

5.  QA in general is one of the most thankless jobs around.  I left MT for QA so I could share my knowledge.  What a joke.  The MTs argue with you and never stop making the same mistakes.  Not only did I lose a lot of income, I hated coming to work every day to get the same reports from the same lazy MTs and then get nasty emails from the same MTs.  I got stuck with the jobs the other hourly QAs didn't know how to do or didn't want to do.  Why should they care?  They get paid no matter what.

For those who have run out of work, have you been required to make up the time during the same week or same pay period?  If you are PT, have you had to make up the time or is it optional? 

Thanks.

why not get another job instead of complaining about no work all the time? No job is worth getting stressed and sick over it.

Don't forget, TT is not the only company that has low/no work. Haven't you read the other posts on the other companies or do you just concentrate on putting TT down all the time?

Find another job, leave TT if it makes you so sick.

Hello,

Does anyone have any info on NEMT aka New England Medical Transcription?  I'm a newbie and am considering them.  The pay is low but I really want to get some experience on my resume.  Besides the pay, are they good to work for?

Thanks in advance for you help,

Dede

Let me say this was last year so it may be different now. You had to download the daily schedules with the demographic info. in them. (This was downloaded separately from the voice files). Then you had to  match the demographics up with each sound file and type it in the report.   

Easy platform, pay always on time, low ESL, extremely nice owners, easy docs. The downside? Poor start-up instructions, my supervisor was nasty and didn't like questions, many days of no work available, re-recording quality very poor at best, and often work was 3+ hours late being loaded. This would be a very good job for someone looking for a very small salary on the side for supplementation. Very, very wonderful owners. I would recommend them overall.
