You will starve! Consistently no work!!

Do you consistently have penty of work?
It's my understanding from MTs who have left Landmark that there is often an issue of a lack of work.
Do you work PT or FT? In your experience, do you usually have plenty of work?
MTSOs need to know the work is going to be done consistently. Not just when someone feels like

I have been running out of work consistently recently. nm

Any other Spheris MTs running out of work consistently? NM

good money but consistently run out of work??

I do think it has been light lately, but if you are consistently running out of work try talking to
your account lead and see if there are some answers for you. I have several accounts and don't usually run out, but don't always work on my primary.
TransTech LOW and NO WORK consistently for many months now, especially within the past couple
of months when they thought they were getting a new account and hired everyone who called or submitted a resume. There is just NO WORK for all of us anymore. Lost account, so what did they do -- put those MT's piled on top of us on our primary account.
TT is in serious trouble, I do believe, financially. If they are having to pay MANY MT's, but have few accounts, they won't last for long. Who is TT's financial backer????? Do they have one???? Who owns TT??? I once heard a real estate broker owned them. Wonder how much rent they pay on their office in Houston??? Wonder how many $$$$ in bonuses they are giving out to mgmt-type people????
We TT MT's are seriously hurting financially and getting very stressful on our health and livelihood. We hear absolutely nothing from mgmt about this situation, but *good things* are coming. You remember when the Q said the same thing to their MT's a few years ago and it was only beneficial to mgmt. It was a real crock!!!!! 
I must say that my job that I used to enjoy beginning my shift every day is now the MOST stressful thing in my life, and we ALL have stressors of one kind of another, admit or not. TT has become the biggest stress in my life, without a doubt. A doctor friend of mine and my own personal doctors say that is what my problem is.
These MTSO's have gotten just as greedy as GMC and all those other HUGE conglomerates!
I don't understand it. We've been consistently running out of work primary and secondary the
I quit.
They are okay to work for, but do not expect a big incentive. Their scale is about average.
The biggest issue right now is trying to get e-mails answered on a regular basis. You better like to work alone without much feedback or interaction because that is how it will be.
oh and they have incentive if you type over where they add $$ to your hourly rate for all hours work
nm
I doubt they HAVE to, but most probably do as an incentive to get workers to work the late shifts an

Easy platform, PTO if you are employee, production incentive, direct deposit, work flow varies on
different accounts, but usually have enough to keep busy, lots of QA feedback.
do you consistently
get the same line count total on a daily basis or exceed that?
Consistently I would say easily 200/hr all the way
up to 300 per hour but with the right macros/expanders you can certainly do even more than that because it not only depends on the account but also how proficient you are with your expanders.
Of course, you'll probably need a day or two to recuperate from your hard work:)
Nobody, just an employee consistently sm
out of work and fighting for lines like so many others while the poster brags about too many lines and getting bonuses. It's kinda ignorant to others to come on here and brag.
lol. My bad...I meant $5000 consistently
CHEERS!
Not bad at all. Consistently hitting 2000 plus
lines a day. Just gotta get used to the Audit SW. It's not the greatest but it's not the worse.
Been there, did not make it consistently, left and did
Got a nicer manager at the other company too.
But not everyone has extra time to spare consistently, even at their
Again, I don't work for Amphion, but I could never work somewhere that wanted consistent OT. I deliver high-quality, high-production 40 hours, and outside of that I still don't have enough hours in the day to devote to my non-MT life. Amphion would be a terrible match for me, but I'm glad there are others who can live up to the overtime demands.
Don't know but last year offered 8 cpl w/sps from 1100-1400 lpd. Then went to 8.5 if consistently

Yeah, right. Heard this before. They flat-out consistently over hire.
nm
Thank you for proving my point: Being consistently good has a better chance.....nm
nm
Only comment I found from last year said they were consistently late with payments. nm

I am having a hard time understanding why companies consistently overhire when they run an ad.
They have to know that people that need a certain amount of income are either going to quit or cut back and get a second job. What does it gain them. I would think this constant hiring and hiring and training would get very old and certainly has to impact quality.
you only get incentive pay for
1200 on any given day. And it goes up fromthere, but stresses it is done on a DAY TO DAY basis, not pay period. So make them 8 hour days and cut out the short days. I know I don't like this either. You can make more on short days I think because your production stays up. But I know if I type 8 hours by hours 7 and 8 I am typing mush. Don'tthink of it as 8 hours if you are not full-time, think ofit as 1200 lines and over, however longit takes you to hit that.
As of Nov 1, the incentive on
straight MT has been done away with, no shift or weekend or holiday extras either, that is what I was told.
Incentive pay
Are there any companies out there that offer incentive pay?
incentive
I was told that anything over 14,000 lines every 2 wks qualifies for incentive. (Edited lines count 1/2 of transcribed lines).
I'd rather have the incentive and the (sm)
opportunity to make more. Plus TT offers good bonuses, and also have the QA incentive. I don't think the line rate difference make that much of a difference in $$.
incentive
It was for the editing platform. I believe it is a one time deal to encourage people to improve their hourly editing line.
Check the company forum, there are posts about it there.
TT needs to do away with that QA incentive
LOTS of sloppy work in the archives when you search for reports that never saw the light of day in QA because of that stupid incentive - so people guess to keep the blanks below the required to send to QA. I'm slow and don't send much work to QA but if I'm not sure of a word I would rather blank it than type something wrong.
I smell lawsuits big time. Just wait.
I have been at TT for over 2 years and have never been audited. I was off QA in 3 days when I started and I have never heard another word from them. You would think they could at least audit somebody once a year. They get you off QA ASAP and forget all about you.
Where is the quality in this company?
QA incentive
I can only speak for myself when I say I have never guessed to avoid sending a report to QA. If I am not sure, I blank it. I listen over and over to try my best to get it. I would not take the chance of putting something erroneous in a medical record intentionally; I wouldn't want errors in my own medical records.
PT Incentive?
I work PT for Webmedx and I find the incentives very hard to reach. I think they are more for full-timers, personally and would love to see some offer for us part-timers.
PT incentive
Are you required to work a weekend day or can you choose to if you want? Are they pretty flexible in their PT work?
What is the incentive for OT with them? nm
x
No. I make incentive also.

holiday incentive pay
...is something I'd like to see
Incentive at Webmedx
There, the more lines you produce per hour, the higher your pay! Highest goes to 300 lph at 10.5 cents a line
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.
They have a very good incentive
plan, even better than MQs old incentive plan.
They don't pay production incentive?
The hospital I used to work for did. We had one gal who could type double what the rest of us could, so she got more pay. She used to work part-time for a national, too, because she could never find a national with benefits comparable to the hospital. I don't think you're going to find a national with decent benefits. You also run into their lousy platforms affecting production, low pay, demo screens, ESLs, poor sound quality, etc. I wish I had stayed at my hospital. I thought I could make more working for a national but I haven't been able to yet. Chalk that up to another stupid career decision on my part.
Ever think about paying incentive to
high producers who are accurate and send very little to QA? That would be a very fair way to handle that situation. It would probably cut down the need for part-timers (not completely, but some) and also reduce the cost of QA.
I know. It seems like they could offer a little more incentive...sm
I understand and hear they are great, but how are they so great when they don't offer benefits? I guess benefits isn't needed by everyone, but I think most by the majority...Wish we had some insight about them even considering to offer more for their employees.
Less than 1 cpl for line incentive. nm
Could you elaborate on the 8 cpl plus incentive?
Are you talking about production incentive or is there an incentive for being compliant with your schedule?
I believe I understand the differential for shift incentive, and I work mostly evenings anyway.
Does KS have an incentive program? nm
No, its a bonus or incentive
A very nice way to say thank you for doing your part to help the environment. I'm happy as it went to help pay my taxes on the car.
Thx. Do they have incentive or bonuses?
