hourly editor jobs
Hello, I posted this question a month ago, but didn't get a chance to follow up on the leads that were posted. Would you be so kind again and let me know if you know of any companies that pay their editors by the hour, that would be great, Thanks.
Hourly Paying Jobs
Can someone tell me if they know any companies that pay hourly to work from home? If someone knows any names of companies that pay hourly, please let me know.
Thank you for your help in advance
Sincerely Crystal
MT hourly rate jobs...sm
Are there any companies that pay hourly for straight transcription?
Are there any hourly jobs for very experienced acute

Are there any hourly jobs for very experienced acute
No more production work for me; I can't stand the stress of lack of work, irregular schedules and broken promises. If I can do all work types and am very good with ESL's, are there any hourly trainer/ QA, etc. jobs out there (in general)?
I was a QA that got paid hourly...sm
so it's more difficult to find another job for me that pays the same. :( If I go back to MTing, I take a massive pay cut.
I am paid hourly.
I have been extremely fortunate to be hourly in both my past and current QA positions, making $18 5 years ago at my prior position and considerably more at this one (not comfortable saying how much, that's my business). My position incorporates more than just QA/Editing reports and I don't have to edit VR and my company does not outsource. I am not exactly sure what my per-line rate factors out to, but I have a high production rate along with my other duties and have been working with some of the same accounts for many, many years and know them well and our MT turnover rate is low also. I have the luxury to take the extra time with those who need it and to just spot edit/fill in blanks on those that don't need the extra help.
Honestly, I had no idea QA were being paid so low until I came across this website a couple months ago. I have had the good fortune to work for two great companies and never had the desire to look elsewhere and see what other companies were offering. I do think more people need to be paid what they are worth, but as long as someone else is willing to be paid less there is just going to be a low 'going rate.' Supply and demand and all that. It is like that in most jobs. Each person has to consider their own needs and compromises, etc. What sounds ridiculously low to some might seem like a great wage when factored into the trade-offs and benefits etc. My husband is union and sometimes has to deal with 'scab' labor. The reality is someone will work for that pay if you will not. There are great companies out there who truly value their QA staff and their MTs and it's a shame to think they are a dying breed.
All QA should be paid hourly.
Paying per line for QA is skimping on quality and a big risk. QA people will spend less time on the reports in an effort to make decent money, and that's a fact. It's a very stupid and risky practice and most better companies will not do this. As for QA people actually taking that pay, that's even worse. There are plenty of respectable companies still paying hourly.
QA paid hourly
Agree with that! I for one would never work on production. This definitely compromises quality just to get the lines out, and I will never do that. And... whose gonna check behind those QA people. Nobody! QA is supposed to check behind MTs. Put QAs on production and you may as well not have QA , and just let the MTs send work as is, have the MT never learn, and then have them pass that incorrect knowledge down to future MTs, and then what do you have? Well... maybe they'll figure it out one day. I don't always agree with what is going on with the company I work for; but... I can say that they have not gone to a line rate for QAs. I would say thats a pretty good indication of their views on quality accounting for something.
QA SHOULD be paid hourly - sm
Otherwise what's to stop them from doing bogus *corrections* in order to get more money.
Being Paid Hourly - QA sm
Suppose you're hired for a QA position at $14.00 an hour as an independent contractor and you work an 8-hour shift on a daily basis. Are you guaranteed to be for the 8-hour shift even if there is no work available?
What about the same thing as above, but only hired as an employee. Would you be guaranteed to be paid for the 8-hour shift whether there was any work or not?
Newbie or not, QA should be paid hourly only. NM

One quesion - were you getting paid hourly? ; )

Paid hourly training SM
Anyone can tell me what companies pay at least minimum hourly wage during training? I don 't mind line rate pay during this time, but I heard many of them will only let you do several reports a day during training and pay by the line, all along the work you do learning their software and platform, phone calls, conference calls, etc. is per g-r-a-t-i-s. Anyone?
I understood her to mean she was paid hourly plus

At WMX you are paid the hourly equivalent of your sm
production rate. If you are making $20 an hour (averaged) on production, that's what you make when you take PTO or holiday pay.
Not a good way to get paid, plenty of the better companies pay hourly.

Different view: If we all went to hourly pay to make sure that we are paid during downtime, it wou
what we earn on production. I make upwards of $30 an hour on production. Most hospitals are under $20 an hour. I think we would lose money if hourly and if they pay us for downtime, I am sure that the money would have to come from somewhere, so they would lower rates.
I'd love to be back inhouse, paid hourly, and
a bad dictator or a report that's interesting, but slow to do. I'm tired of never having money for food, gas, clothes, fun, or anything else. I'm tired of no holidays off, and having to work a 12-hour day to make the minimum line count. And no, I NEVER get overtime, cuz they don't pay it. I think the hospitals should not only first give work to it's HOME BASED employees, but I think they should hire more, instead of farming it out to god-knows-where all over the world.
If your hired at an hourly rate and you run out of work, then you dont get paid anything??
Just saying, you worked a total of 3 hours one day, ran out of work for two hours, then for that day you only get paid 3 hours? That would suck and it wont pay my bills.
Webmedx Editors, how are they paid (per line or hourly)? Do they reimburse for
CMT examination fee or pay part of it? Do they give any kind of consideration for MTs or Editors with their CMT?
PTO paid out based on average hourly earnings. They typically
do not pay for downtime unless it's an unusual occurrence.
I AGREE COMPLETELY! I'd rather be paid a consistent, respectable hourly rate

You can only access the Jobs Board on MTDaily w/o paid membership. nm

They have created a new position that pays hourly. Anyone know what the hourly rate range is? NM
xx
A combo hourly/incentive or straight hourly rate based on
A platform where MTs have had major input in developing it.
10 annual days of PTO, at average hourly rate.
Affordable, decent health insurance.
QA done by very experienced high-level MTs, with open and respectful communication between QA and the MTs.
Hourly?? Where does one get an hourly editing job?
I'm at 5 for VR/8.5 for straight typing. I know we aren't to mention names, but I'm curious how hourly VR jobs are located.
Cherrypicking is when you work from a pool of jobs and being able to reject the worst jobs to those
,
Monster Jobs and Career Builder usually have a few path jobs. nm

They didn't take our jobs, QT gave them our jobs. The account is now
back in the hands of US MTs, or will be in just a couple of weeks.
Are MTs that are looking for jobs finding good jobs right now with everyone looking or is it
getting more difficult to find a good job. I am most interested in jobs for experienced MTs with more than 10 years service. I wonder if it is better to put a resume on or just keeping applying or what is the best way to go about this.
Training on the system, not paid, but if you are physically typing reports then you are getting paid
nm
Oh, yea -- PAID, too. Grandmother PAID LEAVE would be a great drawing card to TT !!
Just love that PAID TIME OFF !!
Any company that makes you wait to get paid until they get paid by the client
is not a company you want to get involved with. That's part of being an MTSO, figuring out how to cover your payroll while waiting to get paid. I would stay away!
Is this a live count of lines paid for or same as CTRL I that we do not get paid for ?? nm

Me too.. the outsourced company was paid for and paid me for headers, but OSI does/did not.

I have always paid yearly and have never paid or been assessed a penaltly. nm

Be glad you get paid tomorrow. We are paid on the 1st and the 15th, so sm
since the 1st is on a weekend, we don't get paid until Monday. It will happen again on the 15th of August …sigh. It is the only thing I do not like about the company, though, so I guess a few weekends of poverty a year is not too much.
Look at all the jobs on the jobs boards.
You can find a job and won't have to apply for unemployment. You would be surprised how many companies need qualified MTs! Go get 'em and get 'em now!
Don't wait until the 11th hour. Too many needs to put your hat in the unemployment slot.
What they lost is our gain.
Lori never paid me and now ETC has not paid my friend.
What is WRONG with these companies? 
Is it still being paid on time if you are paid on the 1st and 15th.....
and if the 15th falls on a Saturday getting paid on the 17th? My bank is open and posts on Saturday that means I am not being paid on the 15th doesn't? This has happened a lot lately.
At least you get paid, I would rather be paid late than not at all. Just my 2 cents.
nm
Yea, at least u got paid. Everyone who worked for TSI is STILL waiting to be paid
I don't understand how Jayne cannot pay us. We have christmas coming up. I bet her family has a fantastic Christmas because she is using OUR money to pay for it. I worked so hard for her and I know the other girls did too. How insulting that she will not return phone calls or emails or PAY us. How does she look at herself in the mirror knowing that the MTs who did all the work FOR her did not get paid. She even sent me an email saying I give you my word HAHAHA her word is nothing, obviously. Well, I will call the attorney for the THIRD time and see what is going on.
To the poster, at least you got paid even if it was late. I sincerely hope you get your last check.
not that...only hourly, no less than $14

What about QA? Looks like they pay hourly. nm
nm
I used to be hourly
Until Western Montana Clinic outsourced to TTS, then it went to line. I do think editing should be above 4 cpl though.
yes, hourly.......
I really had to look for it, and it is at home, to boot.
Yes! But not hourly...
Production pays VERY well when straight through the hospital. No muss, no fuss, if you know what I mean.
Hourly?
Yes I agree QA should be hourly pay. I am still wondering if QA is a step up as far as pay is concerned. I assume it would pay more on average, as you need to be proficient in all specialities/work types as well as having extensive experience with ESLs, difficult dictators, etc.
Do they pay hourly for QA?
Is this the company that requires you to pay for something before you can start? If so, what is it that you have to pay for and how much is it?
