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

Thanks everyone!

experienced?

Is there a company out there that pays weekly?  Looking for full time work.  Seventeen years of experience. 

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone knew of any good companies who pay weekly.  I have a full time position, but I would like to have a part-time position which pays weekly.  Thank you so much

In NY minimum wage is now $7.15, so that is not min wage here either.

I thought I had read something recently that stated Nuance/Focus was developing some software that would completely do away with transcriptionists in the next few years.  I worked for Focus 5 years ago and they were a terrible company then to work for, I see they have just kept getting worse.  You are entitled to minimum wage if you are an employee. If your line count does not come to that contact your local DOL and apply for unemployment benefits.  if you don't you are hurting yourselves and other MTs who come after you.

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!

Are there any companies out there that pay ICs weekly or biweekly.  I just lost an account to EMR that paid weekly.  I don't want to be paid twice a month.  Thanks.

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!!!! 

The most you can expect to make at Medware is 0.08 a line.   Medware has some extremely difficult accounts with a lot of ESL doctors.  It is very hard to make a good line count.  Additionally, Medware watches how many minutes you work during the day.  You must work a full 8-hour shift.  If you have problems and need to call your supervisor, need to email your supervisor, create samples or go over files from the editors, have a problem with pay or vacation time or anything similiar, you will do it on your time.  You have to put in your 8 hours TYPING, nothing else counts. 

You have hit on a point that the service owners did not plan for.  Pursue this with the DOL office in your state:

I don't know about you, but when I see 7 and 8 cents being offered for independent contractor work, I scream a little scream inside me and then implode for a few seconds, and then I move on as that is too insulting for words.  How can a person take out their own taxes with such low pay?  It's really not worth it, when you do the math, figuring out 25 to 33 percent is delegated to tax. 

If a person does 6000 lines for a 40-hour week and takes out 28% taxes, this leaves them with $8.65 an hour for their effort.  My 18-year-old son, whose part-time job while he is in school is sweeping the floors at movie theatres in between shows, makes $7.00 an hour.  I am a grown woman with 18+ years of MT experience and would make only $1.65 an hour more than my son if I had this job. 

How's that for a come-down?   

You cannot by law make less than minimum wage.  If you are making less than minimum wage I would tell the company, they have to make up the difference.  If they don't then you should call the labor board.
