Great incentive plan, but based on speed/lph not total lines produced. Works if you are fast.

Can you say what Medware pays and how their incentive plan works?
I have often been tempted to apply but that has always held me back. Now if I could get a decent 10 cpl or something like that, I would go for it.
I love the PT incentive plan. As long as some of the lines are done on SM
the weekend, it is not hard at all to reach the incentive tier. Last check, I had $95 on there that I wasn't really even expecting because I had reached the bonus tier (and didn't even know it LOL).
DSG Incentive plan
Can someone tell me what the incentive plan is for DSG?
Incentive plan
I don't have the figures handy, but there are two incentives.
The first is getting a 0.25- 1.0 increase per line depending on how many lines you type in the two week period, again, I dont have the paper handy but I think the first incentive starts at 5001 per pay period. Don't quote me on it.
The other one is a bonus given every four weeks if your line count is over a certain amount starting at $20 and going up, and I believe the first count you have to exceed is 10001 in a four week period
incentive plan
That is Transcend's incentive plan, and they do pay according to it. Unfortunately, their new system, BeyondTXT, is FULL of bugs and is down frequently. There is no pay for downtime. I have worked for them two different times. The first time was when they were in their phase of overhiring and constantly running out of work. They designed their own new system about a year ago, and it is crap. They cut everyone's pay in half, and most of the old employees quit because they couldn't make a living. This doesn't take into consideration their phenomenal management shifts. I will never, ever work for them again. Maybe you will have better luck than the 100s of those who have quit for the last time.
TT Incentive Plan
Can someone please tell me what the incentive plan at Transtech looks like? I'm trying to find a company with a good incentive plan. That's probably a joke, but that's my goal.
MQ PACKET INCENTIVE PLAN
could you give me a breakdown of the incentives? If I type 2400 lines a day, what will my incentive be cpl?
10 to 12 as an employee? Is that with the incentive plan? sm
I work for them, too. I'm really surprised at that line rate.
TransTech also has incentive pay plan.
Check them out
webmedx incentive plan
Okay, have any of you other webers noticed a drop in hourly line rate? Even though they are no longer using this as a criteria for incentive pain, why are hourly line counts less than before, I've been averaging about 200 per hour, since the new plan I can't even get to that. Also one day noticed nothing but super long reports one after another, usually good mix of both long and short. I thougt maybe I was losing my mind but then I heard from another the same thing. Anyone else noticing this? I feel like I've been had once again. Sure make the incentive plan look more attractive but somehow make it harger to get lines? 
WebmedX incentive plan
No, I haven't noticed this at all, in fact some days seem to notice the opposite, more lines per hour. Before, when pay was based on LPH, I would not get up from my chair without stopping my clock. Now I will actually let the dogs out, grab a water from the fridge, etc. without stopping the clock and it doesn't hurt me a bit. Also, I would find it extremely hard to believe that any of the higher-ups are wading through each and every job to route you only super long reports. I am looking forward to the first paycheck with the new incentive plan in it.

So that's where my loooong reports went. :)
I love the new incentive plan
I HATED the LPH system. I like this new production system MUCH, MUCH BETTER ALREADY.. My LPH has gone down too because now I don't sign off to look up every little thing like I used to keep my LPH up and I'm also taking more time with the difficult docs.
Yes, the incentive was based on
number of minutes dictated/transcribed. For example, if the report I loaded was 2 min/50 seconds and the incentive was 25 cpm-- I would get an extra 50 cents (give or take for the 50 seconds). We have to keep track of all the minutes and there is usually a required minimum of 500 minutes that you have to transcribe in order to be eligible. There are also time constraints -- like it only runs for 4-6 hours. You also have to maintain your commitment for the rest of the pay period. That's the only type of incentive I've had my account and they're not very often -- I think they ran it twice (maybe three times) in the last 6 months.
I hope your accounts pick up soon.
WebMedX has tiered incentive plan (sm)
...based on your line per hour rate. It's nice, and I usually wind up making 2 cents more per line that way - for every line typed, not just every line over the minimum (the way it was at my last place).
So I'm pretty happy. Don't know much about Axolotl, but it doesn't sound too bad based on the side-by-side comparison somebody made above.
E-Transplus has a good incentive plan
Even extra money if you do all your lines in your schedule every payperiod, extra money for shift differentials, plus a generous incentive tier. Also great benes.
new hires, since last fall; new hire incentive plan is different, which

total lines
I work on extext and that is the way it is done for me to. Just shows total lines for that hospital. But you can get the total lines for a certain period not just that day.
TransHealth just implemented an incentive plan, plus shift and weekend differentials. nm
I know it's a production-based incentive and tiered but I cannot remember the specifics, get with
your recruiter and she can go over it in detail. There is no shift differential or weekend differential of which I am aware, it is all based on production.
Because I compare the total lines to my paycheck

Are you the mighty fast one who works for .07 cpl?
It's great that you manage to earn $20/hr on 7cpl. Just think of what you could earn in an hour at a company that paid you a decent line rate...
Always cpl times total lines, unless a bonus applies
Once you are totally off training and being paid only by your line rate (cpl), your pay will be based on your two week, total lines typed (cpl x total lines typed). The only time lines per hour would affect you is if you qualify for a bonus. I do not know what MT Level you are (3 or 4), but I believe Level 4 bonus starts after 150 lines per hour. If you qualify, don't try to figure the bonus out. It will drive you crazy. Just be happy to see a bonus in your check! 
Do all MTSOs with Ex-Text just show total lines
At my MTSO, when I check the I-Chart site, it gives a total of lines per hospital--no total number of reports or any kind of breakdown to make sure all my reports are in there. The Ctrl-I function shows the number of reports, but the line count is inaccurate and only shows for that day only, so that's useless. Am I overlooking something? I hate being not able to track my line count accurately.
Now that bonuses are paid by total lines per week sm
it doesn't matter what your LPH total is, so you can stay clocked in or out for those little things, as you choose.
Which shortcut program works best with Windows-based Meditech?nm

Vonage uses your DSL high-speed lines.
Doesn't affect your local service at all and won't replace it, either. It's the same concept as having your DSL and regular phone service.
Why not 1 job with more lines for more incentive? nm

Tech staff great, yes you can adjust speed. (nm)

Not sure, but they have a great incentive tier and differentials
and you can get those line counts. Reminds me of days working for the hospital, first time in years!
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.
It's based on lines but instead of taking it in hours,
dollars, not hour. Say you want to take 4 hours PTO time. You tell your boss you're going to use 4 hours PTO for time off and on your timesheet you put the amount of money you want, i.e., $75 or whatever. Every check stub has how much you earned each period and how much total you have. We have no holidays or sick days, it everything comes out of your PTO. We earn separate amounts for straight and ASR. For instance, last pay period I earned $54 and worked 37 hours, had 5 days off sick without PTO because, due to lack of work and having to use it every pay period, I had none built up. Everybody's amount is different based on line rate and line count.
DSG is a great company, pay on time, nice management, incentive, but SM
occasionally work load is an issue depending on shift and account but if you're willing to be flexible, you should be okay.
I do 1200-1300 lines in 5-6 hours. I am not very fast
though. My fingers are getting old :)
That's fast in my book. I can't do that. Great job! :) nm

I got off TT QA very fast too & had great feedback
They do know how to spot quality MTs.
Webmedx does but it is based on hours worked, not lines. nm

shorthand works great
I use ShortHand with Meditech and it works great. Used it for other programs as well.
Now I dont care for Meditech but that is another story...
Yes, it is Netgear. Works great,
but I should warn you it has a glowing blue light on top ... not a constant soft light, but a gently pulsating, sort of roving blue light that is reminiscent of something from the Star Ship Enterprise. Not quite the blue lights from a cop car, but still annoying if your office lets any light into your dark bedroom.
Sounds great! Is it Word-based?
I am totally clueless about it!
small to medium company that works in Word or Word-based program - email me. nm

Sounds great as long as you are a fast learner
Keystrokes must be a great company or landing a a lot of new contracts hiring all of these people.
I used to laugh out loud at the VR-produced
nightly news on the TV sets at my local gym. I'd be watching it while using the treadmill, elliptical trainer or StairMaster, and would occasionally belt out a 'Bwa-ha-haaa!' at something the VR had written. Got more than a few stares from my fellow gym-goers, who probably thought I was nuts. The humor of VR sure did make my workouts go by quickly, though!
Webmedx offers a production bonus based on your lines per hour sm
over a minimum amount. Amount varies by amount produced. Not split in a pot like mentioned above. I don't understand how that would work?
It does work, you do not need to "make" it work.. it works in all word based programs.

SmarType works great with ExText.

Yes, dialup works great with Bayscribe sm
Yes, dialup works great. I can type as the voice file is downloading. When you look under settings in the Bayscribe player there is a modem and broandband. I have mine all the way to modem. I have had no problems although I really miss DSL, but love the fact I can work without haveing to wait for long voice files to load. I don't have DSL available where I live.
Good luck with your new job! Hope it works out great! nm

Yep, they get great lines and great QA
yeah I see your point - because all the crap dictations go to everyone else :( Kind of makes steam come out of your ears doesn't it LOL
