Hourly?

In Reply to: QA SHOULD be paid hourly - sm - in order to keep them honest.
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.

They have created a new position that pays hourly. Anyone know what the hourly rate range is? NM

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.
not that...only hourly, no less than $14

What about QA? Looks like they pay hourly. 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.
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?
Hourly QA
Medquist and Sten-Tel do.
Hourly pay
So, if you work a 4-hour shift, do you get paid $15.00 an hour regardless of the amount of work available? If not, then how do they determine how many hours you worked?
Do they pay QA hourly there?
Hourly...
I, too, make $25-$30 an hour. I have a treo of neurologists and do law enforcement & parole board hearings... I think the key is getting away from the MTSO's and getting private practice accounts...
Not hourly
They pay 0.05 a line - no hourly wage - if you ask Matt in HR, he will tell you that what you read online about the free books, the free foot pedal, sign on bonus and hourly wage - it was all a typo.
VR pay- HOURLY
HOURLY. At a hospital that gives a rip about dedicated, quality oriented MTs, with numerous documented templates and has the best Dictaphone has developed.
Hourly Pay
It is all true, I used to work for them. Weekly check, hourly pay, not a problem and always on time.
Its an hourly job
that is posted, not a cpl job. Apparenlty, Premiere Office Solutions has mostly hourly positions.
Hourly pay rate
I have been working for Transolutions since March, and so far I'm very happy with them. They pay $10 for training (7 hours a day for 4 days the first week, if I remember correctly) and your first month you make $10/hour while you get used to your account. You can also get extensions to that time period, as long as you continue making progress. Once your evaluation period is over, your pay is based on production levels - from 150 up to 225 per hour, with the pay per line increasing as you go up - I think it work out to around $19/hour at the top level. They also have bonuses, weekend differentials, and paid time off even for part-timers like me.
Hope that helps!
Transcend hourly
What is the hourly rate, and is it more profitable for the average MT than per line? What determines who works at the hourly rate and who works per line? Can you choose? Thank you for any info.
Are you hourly or production?
I have a lot of questions and I'd really rather ask an employee than a recruiter because recruiters sometimes don't give a complete answer. Are the hourly jobs only with certain accounts. If you work hourly do you still have to produce a certain amount to qualify for benefits? Please email me if you don't feel comfortable posting here.
Hourly and great!
Does anyone know who pays QA hourly? sm
I need a QA job that will pay me hourly, so if you have any leads, send them my way. :)
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.
Will likely still pay hourly, even at home.
But I agree; 1200 lines will be required at minimum.
hourly rate
You don't say what your experience is or rate of pay or how long you have been at this job and if IC or employee. If you want to make $25 an hour you have to hit for 250 to 300 lines per hour if making 0.08 to 0.10 cpl. If you are new, it will take a while. But it is possible after years of experience and knowing how to do shortcuts, etc. Just gotta hang in there. You could not walk into an office and expect to make $25 and hour - gotta be patient and work up to it. But it can be done but it has taken me many years to get there. Patti
Spheris - $12.50 hourly
Does Spheris actually pay $12.50 per hour for MTE/speech recognition or is this just temporary and then revert to a per line basis? What is the line requirement (if any) for hourly pay? Is it basically acute care/discharge summaries/consults? Is the majority of dictators ESL? Any information regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
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.
I have only done QA for an hourly rate. (sm)
QA is more than just filling in the blanks. You have to give feedback and there is also mentoring. New MTs to the company and accounts have to be on 100% QA, so those reports have to be listened to. Doing QA on production is not a good thing. If a company really cares about quality they would not pay QA Specialists by the line.
hourly QA openings
Try Medquist, we have openings, all positions are hourly, QA specialists (filling in blanks) and QA auditor (client reviews). Apply on their website under professional opportunities.
Does Keystrokes pay hourly for QA?
and...do they only promote from within for QA?
QA SHOULD be paid hourly - sm
Otherwise what's to stop them from doing bogus *corrections* in order to get more money.
If you are lucky they will pay hourly.
Go to your state's board (boards here on MT Stars) and see if anybody can tell you what hospital MTs are making an hour. Where I am it's in the $15-$19 an hour range, and you'll want the high side with all that experience and CMT.
Does MQ pay QA as hourly rate? Just
xx
Companies with hourly pay for QAs?
I am a QA looking for a new job with hourly pay... can anyone tell me which companies pay QA by the hour?
Thanks!
Hourly rate
Can anyone give suggestions of a MT company that pays hourly for IC work instead of line rate? Can be FT or PT.
Hourly editing?
What companies hire editors and pay byt the hour? I have done a search but I wonder if there are any newer ones that do.
TIA
Hourly vs production
It's always been true for me too. I personally wouldn't ever go back to per hour pay. When I started OTJ training back in 1965, I was paid $1.00 per hour!! Was a happy camper in the 70's when we went to production pay. At the time I quit the hospital and went to work for an MT service, I jumped from, if memory serves me correctly, about $3.35 per hour to $10.00. My biggest year ever was close to $100,000.00 in the 80s. Yes, I intended all those zeros to be there. I think that was 6 or 7 cents per GROSS line with very generous incentive tiers and not using a computer but I believe it was an IBM selectric TYPEWRITER. Unfortunately those days are gone forever <sigh>. I credit AAMT (or whatever they're called these days) for selling us out to the 65 cpl deal. Still, I think most of us make more working on production than we could ever hope to be paid hourly.
Hourly rate
Does anyone know of companies paying hourly rates? Please email me if so, especially if using Escription platform. Thanks
hourly rate
Yeah. Guess it must be a tall order these days.
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?
Company with hourly QA pay?
I'm extremely unhappy with my current QA position and feel that I'm being pushed out of the company. I regret the move I made from MQ to my current company, as sad as that sounds.
I need to find another hourly QA job as I am a single mom and need to support my kids. What companies hire hourly QA?
Companies that pay hourly QA
It is not hourly. They do not do that anymore.
Which one mentioned hourly?
Was it M.L. or was it the female? Just curious. I can't understand why they won't pull the escription MTs who don't have work - over to the Dictaphone accounts that they are scrambling to hire for.
It seems really dumb to lose some of those MTs because they are quitting due to no work and then be desperately trying to find new hires for the dictaphone accounts.
They are only making things worse because those lies are catching up with them and they will have fewer and fewer people applying because the word is out.
hourly rate
I think the only place you're going to get an hourly rate for transcription is working in-house. None of the work-from-home places pay hourly. There's no way to control if someone is actually working or not.
Where did you see they were paying hourly?

hourly pay (an antique?)
At this point, it would be nice to know what companies do pay by the hour based on all this. I would like to know if you care to share that info.
Thanks!
Line pay is a LOT more than hourly pay
I make 3.5 cpl doing QA and make about $900 per week. Can you top that?
Problem is that a LOT of hourly QAs
on the clock and that is why my company put a stop to it.
