It's sometimes a struggle with biweekly pay when something unexpected comes up, but I'd never survive on bimonthly. Ouch.

What is TH's pay period? Two weeks or bimonthly? nm

Bimonthly pay....as in you get paid only every other month???????
I could never manage with only getting paid every other month. That's a long stretch between paydays!!!
Bimonthly means every 2 weeks...sm
I think you misunderstood what bimonthly pay means...she pays every 2 weeks, on the 15th and the end of the month, just as most companies do. How is that difficult to budget?
No, bimonthly means every other month....
Bi-monthly = Every other month
Bi-weekly = Every other week.
Check the dictionary.
What is their payperiod -- 2 weeks or bimonthly?
It's a MINIMUM, and it's per bimonthly pay period.
No, everyone does not get paid the same line rate, and we all work at different speeds.
Just for the fun of it... let's try some math. Say you average 150 LPH (which is the minimum LPH quota for us former TRS folks, anyway; don't know if that's across the board at Transcend). So if you work 8 hours, that's 1200 lines a day, which I am told is a ballpark quota across the industry. There are 11 days in MOST pay periods, so that would be 13,200 lines per pay period.
$900 divided by 13,200 equals roughly 6.9 cents.
I would sincerely HOPE that MOST people are getting paid WELL above THAT! But that's all you'd need to make per line, at 150 LPH, 8 hours a day for 11 work days, to meet the minimum to be considered full time.
8 cents a line at 13,200 lines would gross you $1056. 9 cpl would get you up to $1188.
And if you work faster than 150 cpl, it goes even higher.
The $900 per pay period floor offers plenty of wiggle-room for the occasional bad day, and the occasional 10-day pay period.
And the $900 per pay period is supposed to be an AVERAGE; if you drop below it for one pay period, you don't get cut off at the knees. Or so I am told. Personally, I've never been anywhere near that low....
Avg $2300 bimonthly; production+incen

I thought I saw a post somewhere that says they pay bimonthly and not biweekly. Can anyone

if you can do that and survive then sm
great for you. Some of us have to work and work these shifts to survive so don't knock those of us that do. also don't gripe when you aren't working at all.
No, actually I don't - I'm too busy trying to survive to worry about
You need a reality check, girl and you still haven't said what YOUR name is. Credibility, you know!
Trying so hard to survive here and need VR advice
I have recently started with a company and they do VR. It's requiring a lot of retyping. I think someone who is not conscientious might make a little money because they can rip through it and not fix things..................but I am fixing everything and being very careful. I am about to quit...........but before I do.........I am wondering if I could just ask for more pay. I do not hate the work. I hate the money that I'm not making.
What is the rate for VR that a company should be willing to pay to someone with excellent skills?
Ability to survive - the BIG issue too is sm
the line rate, the line production requirement not JUST whether there is work at night, which shift etc. It is the LINE RATE OFFERED. Does not matter if you even have plenty of work on whatever shift if it pays pennies a line.
1000 lines a day, 125 lines an hour, say 4 cents that is $40 bucks a day,
5 cents a line $50 bucks a day ($6.25 an hour)
They are going to require much more, if not, get a letter, plus lose insurance.
They will want more like 2250 lines a day at 4 cents a line, at $90 a day x 5 days equal $450 a week ($900 per pay period)
THAT IS 281.25 LINES AN HOUR PEOPLE
I cannot image that on Beyond TXT platform (or any other). I'm WORTH much more.
Heck, NO!! I'd never survive on minimum wage. nm

Well, here we go...time for another survey. Anyone out there love their job and able to survive on .
what they make. I am totally burned out on broken promises, dreams and expectations when I have taken jobs. Recruiters hype their company up but then they never live up to it. All I am asking for is a job with regular work every day when I am assigned to work and decent benefits. Is this impossible to find? Have any of you found such a thing? If so, let me hear from you.
revolving door. can't survive. don't bother. nm

Any tips on how to survive working at Transcend?
I just got sold to them and my friend has given me a lot of words of warning. Anybody have any suggestions on survival?
Well, it looks like we have about 5 years to survive in fhis industry if all goes as they expect it
will. Of course I remember 15 years ago IBM said everything would be speech recognition within a few years and here we are today getting into it. They will still need editors believe me. The mistakes are phenomenal that I see by speech recognition unless the doctors who keep making less and less will now take their time to read the reports. Yeh, all they do now is work all the time as insurance companies keep reducing pay and the government.
I have to. Hubby is unemployed and it's our only income right now...can't survive on unemploym

why should you feel bad? I am a firm believer in you gotta do what you can to survive
and I am also considering a job with them. I need the money and the benefits and they have offered me more than any place else, so far.
No the driving force if the MT in transcription. Without the MT the technology couldnt survive.
I have done enough ASR, etc. to tell you that there is no way that technology could survive on its own or any other technology that we have today as well. The way these people dictate I guarantee you there will always be a need for MTs. There arent enough doctors now to go around. Do you really think they are going to sit there and type the reports or care how they look. They are working twice as hard now for less money.
