Any body hear of a company in MA that is hiring editors for 3 cent a line? sm
I asking for someone else, the email was signed Jay
Good & bad posts in the past. Must work 1 Sat. a month. Supposed to be gross line pay. Some days

What? 1/2 cent per line? Do you mean
0.05, which is 5 cents?
Seemed really low to me, on the incentives. Maybe 1 cent per line for a lot of lines.

7 cent a line $8.75 hr (1000 lines 8 hr=$70) TERRIBLE nm

Of course, depends on your line rate, but $700.00 is very good for MT right now. I can make over
that if the work is available, and I put in more than 40 hours. I think to make $1000.00 you need to have lots of expansions and dictators with which you are familiar, IMHO.
Oh good grief. A half a cent here or there does
not make you go from barely scraping by to RICH. It helps, but it's not that big of a difference. It's just incentive/bonus. Please get a grip.
In Jan. 07 they offered 7 cpl as IC and you had to BUY their software. Past posts

I work for Axoltol and have in the past been offered
a position with TransTech. I read on the board that TT does not pay for spaces. I don't remember from my interview whether they do or not The money wasn't that great at TT so I turned it down.
At Axoltol (work there and still can't spell their name but it rhymes with bottle) line rate is 2 cpl what TT offered me. There aren't production bonues, but there is OT. Benefits are excellent. Insurance is very good and cheaper than any I've seen anywhere. My DH works for an extremely large company and even his insurance isn't as inexpensive. Insurance starts the first day of the month after you are hired, so if you were to start today insurance would start May 1. Vision insurance is free, as is long/short-term disability.
They are rigid about your schedule. You get to set it, but then they expect you to stick to it, though if you need to go to the doctor or something there isn't a problem getting off. You are expected to to 1200 lpd/12,000 lines per pay period. Some days I have trouble doing 1200, but I do extra another day. Platform is very easy. One of the things I like most it shows how much you make per report, how much you make per day, how much per pay period, etc. I like to see the numbers. I have a goal each month and it motivates me to see the numbers going up. They provide equipment (even flat screen monitor). Company is still small but growing. They don't offshore.
QA is great, you can see corrected report and also relisten. You don't get to see old reports from other MTs.
I was worried about being more regimented in my schedule, but it has actually helped me to have more time to do the things I want to do. Instead of working a bit here and there I sit and get it done. I'm not tied to my chair, I still take breaks.
Can you tell I love my job?
MTs have been offered 6 cpl in the past. Their ads have always asked for Cphones. 800 lpd is part
d
and I heard editors only make
around 15 an hour, as an MT you should be over 20 an hour
Editors need to make a statement by not
accepting these jobs. BY THE HOUR PEOPLE!! Tell these companies that pay by the line no way. It is **expertise** they are paying for here. I won't do it. I will get out of the field first.
Well, last day this past week my pay was
over $18.00 an hour. I don't consider that too bad myself. I personally am very happy there, no problem with anyone, they leave you alone, no IMing all the time nor emails, good support, love the platform. Great place for me.
They've used ExText in the past. Ad from 2006 said you need Word 2003. Offered 8 cpl for

They have been discussed within the past week, scroll down and
see if you can see the post. S/B lots more posts in archives. Nothing good.
This was extensively discussed this past week or so...sm
Best check the IRS guidelines before asserting such information.
Transcend running their ads when there has hardly been work this past week.
If your flexible this is the job for you. Feast or famine. Yet, we need to hire more help. How about giving the ones who sit all day waiting to work..some work..
I doubt you will make enough money in 5 hours a week to make

Honestly, this past week it was been really slow..slim pickens and not sure why. That's the way i
goes in this business..It's either slow or you cant keep up.
well they offered me a job last week sm
and I laughed at them. They offered me an MT job supposedly 60% VR with 40% MT. You only got paid for the lines your CHANGED on VR but you had to listen to the whole report. Think about it. You could have a three page report to listen to which would take quite a while and you could have 40 lines to change at 4 cpl per line that would be 1.60 and probably could take you 15 minutes. That is ridiculous. Their tech support is in India. Don't deal with them.
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?
Not true anymore. That changed this past week when they decided that to go back to having PT MT'
I talked to my Coordinator who told me that during their meetings this past week at the office, it was decided that some PT positions were necessary.
The decision for FT only was officially made in September but they have decided to go back to having some PT MT's fo fill the needs of some accounts. There will be definite standards to be met, including must have one weekend shift and must do a minimum of 2500 lines a week, but there will be some PT MT's hired when needed. She did say that the number of positions would be limited, trying to fill accounts with FT MT's first.
This came directly from one of the Coordinators who was in the meetings last week.
Ask what is a line. I was offered 6 clp for a 42 black character line sm
that seemed to strange, but really it was not so bad. Came out pretty close to a 65 k/s line at 8.5 to 9.

CBay transcribes all work in India. Has some US editors but also has Indian editors.

it's been posted in the past that line counts are
pretty much set differently from one MTSO to another.
Problem is, clients cannot prove their counting systems no more than we can.
Regulation is in the future, unfortunately, that might hurt us.
They did away with the WC, but still need a Cphone & 2nd line as no internet accts. In past, they

You needed a Cphone & 2nd line to work there in the past. nm

I make 4 cents a line, work part and make
over $500 a week on part.
Thanks for the info! Do you *feel* like you make more with a gross line v. character line? (nm)
Oh, they make money off us. Line rate is 17 cents a gross line.nm

Good last week - Slow this week.
I hope this is not an indication of things to come. I am getting 1,200 lines a day but it is taking me all day to do it. We seem to be out of work from 9-12 every day this week. Hope things pick up after Labor Day.
I left MQ for TT. The base line rate was less at TT, but overall I make more per line with the
shift differential (I work second shift) and the incentive plan (I have never once failed to make at least an extra half cent per line on incentives - most of the time a penny). I was scared to death to make that move, as I had been with MQ since back in the Transcriptions Limited days. I have to say, though, that it was the best career move I have ever made and I have never, not once, regretted it.
I hope that was of some help.
I work on Docuscribe (not MQ) and have also worked on Chartscript in the past. My line counts went
down significantly when I went to the DQS platform. Don't know if it is being manipulated or not, just simply stating the facts as I have seen them.
Actually, my local hospital offered me MUCH less than what I make at my MTSO
By 4 cpl.
I was offered 10 cents/line. I think they pay very well! nm

Anyone get paid per line for QA? I was just offered
3.5 cpl to QA for a company. I have not heard of a being paid by the line for QA, so I dont know what a fair price per line would be. I get 7.5 cpl for ME but I think the difference might be QA do you the blanks and not listen to the whole report. Anyhow, I'm just trying to find out if anyone gets cents per line and how much is fair. Thanks!

I was offered per line, turned them down

I was just offered 7 cents a line too but...
it was a radiology account, not acute care. I believe acute care was quoted as 8.5 cents.
no, I was offered 60% of my line rate sm
which is quite a bit more than 4 cpl. That is what I thought too. Maybe experience has something to do with it? I don't know. That is what I was offered and I am just wondering about the company etc. Anything you can tell me would sure help.
Times past, was a good deal...now
Today we get the short crud/fast talkers/accents from who knows where... so 1:00 a minute is not good at all...BUT with all the changes in the way the software counts for us... if you would have a GREAT dictator (not) would be an OK deal...
10 yrs experience w/CMT Alltype offered 8.75 per line : (

I have been there awhile. The good posts are because over the past few years sm
they have really worked hard to improve employee relationships and it has worked. There are no problems there anymore. They used to say they were growing pains and we all wondered how long they could say that. Now I am glad I stuck it out because all the old problems (and I mean old being over 2 years or more) are gone. Great company to work for.
I have heard good things about New England in the past
don't know if that has changed. I would also throw in a vote for TransTech. After cycling through several other companies, I have finally found a home with Transtech and I am very happy there.
Good luck. If you can live past their inconsistent
you'll next have to worry about running out of work.
Yes, PS HAD a good rep in the past, but they're a mess now. Stay away. nm

I make 1350. a week
and work my butt off for it! It is possible.
I make 950-1000 per week
I am an employee, only 8 cpl with incentive over 1200 lpd, work a strict 8 hr/day, 40 hr/wk shift. I do work on only one account, about 75% op notes, although it is a very large teaching hospital so still have a very large variety of dictators (currently wrestling with my list of 500+ new residents for this summery). I have full hospital benefits. It is possible.....
$700 is very good, except as IC you are losing 7.5% in having to pay your own taxes.
Yes, I make my time up later in the week when possible
or the weekends. I'm not tied to my computer. I do other things in between and check every 15 minutes or so for work.
I really don't care about the slow period. It was so busy for so many months that I am enjoying the slow down....but hopefully, it won't be much longer. I'm getting used to having these breaks. 
I used to make that $1000 a week but
that was in 1989 or 1990. Wish on.
