OT is compensated!
Why do you say it should be compensated? It is. You are paid at time and a half for OT hours, which means good money. Trans complain about lack of work and then complain about too much work! If you don't want to run out of work when it's a slow time, then step up and work a little extra when it's busy.
No joke! You should be compensated
to respond in a nice way! I would let you great team lead know that you are really plugging for them so your team lead can maybe get you a kicker!! LOL 
Something like being compensated for my time,

Don't you think that quality should be compensated?

I have been compensated in the past
by extra for certain dictators and raise for being willing to work harder accounts, but had to ask, they usually won't offer :)
What do the MTs get paid for fixing these?

Price fixing
It seems that ever since AAMT suggested that the line count should be characters divided by 65 (which cut our gross line pay by 1/3), clients have been insisting that we count that way. So now Escription comes along and tells the client the same thing and they want us to change the way we count. It seems to be there are some antitrust issues lurking here to be plumbed. Isn't that called price fixing? And wouldn't one think that we should check on it like with the attorney general?
Most leads are compensated for the extra duties.....
like answering emails and watching TATs, etc. There is no OT, and no huge salary, and leads are expected to reach quota like everyone else. I would know, I work there, and I am a lead. We don't cheerypick, and work is first in/first out unless work has to be assigned for a particular platform. Geez!
fixing issues/profit
Yeah, guess that is why Transcend had a press release that came out yesterday with a 74% increase in revenue from the prior year quarter. Here is an excerpt from that press release. "Most of the revenue increase of $2,779,000 between the second quarters of 2005 and 2004 is attributable to the acquisition of Medical Dictation, Inc (“MDI”) on January 31, 2005. MDI contributed revenue of $2,294,000 to the second quarter of 2005."
I think my company is fixing to go belly up so
I've decided it is time to start looking. I have been offered a position my Keystrokes and accepted it and then changed my mind before I even started work or they had mailed me equipment.
Medscribe is offering a sign-on bonus, which I could use, and they use the same platform I currently use.
There is so much posted about KS, mostly good. I just read through the archives and other than having to work certain holidays not much bad said about Medscribe.
Has anyone worked for both that can give some feedback? You can e-mail me directly if you'd rather. I have 20 years' experience in acute care, but I've basically only worked for 2 companies my entire career and the thought of having to start over again is stressing me. I have a lot of flexibility where I am currently and easy platform, but I still use WP5.1 so I'd pretty much have to learn Word no matter where I went, switch to a new expander, etc.
I am fixing to find out if E-scription does or not
today. Today is the big day I start with Transcend. I am going to find out as well if I like to edit machines.
Price fixing does not need to be accepted and should not
I see, 5, 6, 7, 8 and should not be accepted. Get your calculater out. Figure out what that would be per hour. Com'on this is a highly highly skilled profession, not just anybody can do it, takes year YEARS and you never know it all, never.
It seems like price fixing in t this industry.
They all pay the same unlivable wages. Anybody know a lawyer? Ask about a price-fixing lawsuit.
I'm beginning to believe its price fixing
Seems like reps from all the major MTSOs sat down, came up with a so-called competitive rate, and decided to all cut wages at approximately the same time - so there's really nowhere else to go when MTs want to leave! Greed! Plain and simple!
What is wrong with a good MT knowing what she is worth and expecting to be compensated
