you'd be better off in a management position as you feel you are qualified to make management decisions.

In my 30+ years of experience, I've learned that the dictators who complain about their transcription are usually the best dictators. They know there is no reason for resultant lousy transcription.

Good luck.

How to determine count

I am getting paid per line and not familiar with this as i am a new IC.

I know you divide it by 65... Do you then take that number and multiply whatever the cost per line is( i.e. 6 cents)?

You have to determine if it is good for YOU.
Does it matter what others think? Doesn't it only matter if YOU can make it with that wage?

I had 2 different pay rates for different worktypes at Spheris one time. I made BETTER money at the lower rate because it was easier work and I could produce more of it hands down. There were many MTs who wouldn't touch it because the base rate was low. But you know what? Those same ignorant MTs just complained and complained over not being able to make it on the higher-paid work because they couldn't the production they wanted. I laughed all the way to the bank.

I don't care what others make. If the work suits me, I like it, and I can make what I need/want with the rate, that's fine. What difference does it make to me what others think of it? Nadda.

Don't let these people talk you out of something that may work very well for you, especially because of THEIR perceived pride or refusal to work for X amount.

I usually work both jobs until I determine that the new job is really all I thought it would be. nm

They are clear that they post the checks for the 1st and 15th and the banks determine when they are
I do know one thing though from talking to someone about increasing my 401k deduction, that they did not realize that Monday was a holiday or they would have pushed them through for today like they did for New Year's Day's check. That person also told me that starting next month, if it falls on Saturday, it will pay on Friday, if it falls on Sunday, it pays on Monday. I joked that I knew she did not have kids or she would know that it's a school holiday and I was right! Those of us with kids know more of the holidays because we have to keep track of days off.
