Anyone get paid per line for QA? I was just offered
3.5 cpl to QA for a company. I have not heard of a being paid by the line for QA, so I dont know what a fair price per line would be. I get 7.5 cpl for ME but I think the difference might be QA do you the blanks and not listen to the whole report. Anyhow, I'm just trying to find out if anyone gets cents per line and how much is fair. Thanks!

I just asked. We do get paid for spaces. If QA said that, they are wrong.

They asked me to work OT every week, NEVER paid
any OT, did not get raise after 90 days. They said I would but it never happened.
When they called me and I asked them if they offshored, they asked me why that was my business!

Sad but true. You're asked to work NOW, then asked to stop NOW, then go again and then stop
If you dont get off the minute the hospital asks, even if you have no idea that they have requested that your to be off, then the hospital MTs steal your work right out of your queue and I mean reports you have already done. I dont understand the concept of having a contract with a hospital and then having to fight for work with the hospital MTs. We should have guaranteed work during our shift and enough of the the hospital wants you to help right now and then a few hours later they want us to stop working as the work is too low. It is crazy and I couldnt work like that so I had to quit.
Training on the system, not paid, but if you are physically typing reports then you are getting paid
nm
Oh, yea -- PAID, too. Grandmother PAID LEAVE would be a great drawing card to TT !!
Just love that PAID TIME OFF !!
Any company that makes you wait to get paid until they get paid by the client
is not a company you want to get involved with. That's part of being an MTSO, figuring out how to cover your payroll while waiting to get paid. I would stay away!
Is this a live count of lines paid for or same as CTRL I that we do not get paid for ?? nm
m
Me too.. the outsourced company was paid for and paid me for headers, but OSI does/did not.

I have always paid yearly and have never paid or been assessed a penaltly. nm
nm
Be glad you get paid tomorrow. We are paid on the 1st and the 15th, so sm
since the 1st is on a weekend, we don't get paid until Monday. It will happen again on the 15th of August …sigh. It is the only thing I do not like about the company, though, so I guess a few weekends of poverty a year is not too much.
Lori never paid me and now ETC has not paid my friend.
What is WRONG with these companies? 
Is it still being paid on time if you are paid on the 1st and 15th.....
and if the 15th falls on a Saturday getting paid on the 17th? My bank is open and posts on Saturday that means I am not being paid on the 15th doesn't? This has happened a lot lately.
At least you get paid, I would rather be paid late than not at all. Just my 2 cents.
nm
Yea, at least u got paid. Everyone who worked for TSI is STILL waiting to be paid
I don't understand how Jayne cannot pay us. We have christmas coming up. I bet her family has a fantastic Christmas because she is using OUR money to pay for it. I worked so hard for her and I know the other girls did too. How insulting that she will not return phone calls or emails or PAY us. How does she look at herself in the mirror knowing that the MTs who did all the work FOR her did not get paid. She even sent me an email saying I give you my word HAHAHA her word is nothing, obviously. Well, I will call the attorney for the THIRD time and see what is going on.
To the poster, at least you got paid even if it was late. I sincerely hope you get your last check.
Spaces, paid or not paid. Do you know? sm
I just started with a company and when I asked specifically if I would be paid for spaces, they said yes. When I started using their program I noticed that the line count for each job did not include spaces. I checked it with more than one program. I called them and they said there was a glitch in the program that would be fixed. It has been almost two months now and that glitch is still not fixed. My checks do not include spaces either. No one at the company knows what is up. I can't believe I am the only one at this company who has deduced that they are not paying for spaces. So, do you check your line counts to see if spaces are included? You might be in for a surprise. Man, I am tired of being burned when I am a reliable and honest IC. Maybe time to do something else. Thanks for listening.
You get paid when SHE gets paid from the client...sm
I don't like that at all.
ok-you asked for it.........sm
Good points: Pay always on time and always correct.
Bad points: Work flow is not consistent (some days plenty of work, some days no work at all on the system).
Their QA for eScription Accounts are very inconsistent and do not follow account specifics. Change correct things and terms to incorrect terms (very very frustrating).
Indian based and Indian run company.
They subcontract out most of their eScription work to other MTSO companies.
Don't know about the other side of it using their NetCare system. I work on their eScription side of things, which is all run by the India based company.
Since they are eating up all of the eScription accounts, I thought I'd try them - needless to say it is not very profitable.
Don't count on making good money there. Many days without work.
To each their own. It may be a good fit for some.
I asked for more
and that's what I was told the line rate I could get.
And to top it all, I have a friend who has TWO YEARS experience and was offered 8 c/line for a PT position. PART TIME!!! And I'm getting 8.5/line for FT with all that experience in acute care? Something stinks here.
Wouldn't you be upset????
Sorry...I asked this before
but can't find the post! Does anyone know a good website that lists most MT companies (besides MT Daily). Thank you.
Know what FTP is. That's why I asked who uses it. nm
nm
I asked that down below...
and no one seemed to know about the platform except to watch your line count? Not sure what that means.
since you asked, yes, 1 do nm
nm
Not what I asked about but thanks anyway. SM
The drug testing doesn't bother me. I would just like to know the answers to my questions before I apply.
Same here. Have never been asked if CMT or not. I'm not. nm
s
yes they do...have you asked for one?
nm
Yes I asked -
x
I asked that below...
but didn't get any reply. Not sure that's a bad thing or a good thing!
Well, have you ever asked?
to be able to fluctuate your working hours? Guess that would make a difference.
Have you ever asked
Unfair, yes and no. I do know they have called others who were not working when they were scheduled to be. It probably depends on what account you are on, and so may not actually change anything except that you will have to clock in and out each time you quit and start during the day.
I tried to tell you below when you asked, but
you don't seem to want to heed the advice given, not only by me but the numerous others who posted. In this day and age no company can guarantee you work.
Not what I asked.
Then, how many MTs does TT have? Big company? Little company? I would like a number cause I'm curious.
I know that this has been asked before BUT (sm)
Can anyone give me information on TTD, Inc? It is also known as TTD and The Transcription Doctors. I have searched the archives with all 3 names and cannot find anything. However, when I googled them I found 2 older posts on MTstars for them but was hoping for more current information. TIA
Since you asked...I believe it's
We've gone from typewriters and using White-out to desktops and using Word shortcuts. That changed the way we transcribe. Because of the internet and home computers, a lot more of us are able to work from home.
Now, the same is happening with EMRs. How it all plays out is anybody's guess. My guess is there will be *growing pains* but, in the end, transcriptionists will never be without some sort of job. Someone mentioned data mining below, and there's also data tagging, which will probably become an *official* title here pretty soon.
There's also the opinion in
http://www.medical-transcription-and-you.com/healthcare-emr.html (you'll have to copy and paste) that there are still hundreds of millions of records being dictated the old-fashioned way, which will need transcriptionists to type them.
I believe that someone asked about this same
company a few days ago and someone else posted on the company but it would be wayyyyyyyyyyy on down the page by now or a couple of pages over. People are answering posts on various companies, it is just with so many posts by MDIers and Transcenders they are getting shifted down very fast.
Hope you are able to find the post!!
Have you asked them about it yet?
That may just mean that if you drop your signal or something you're on your own. I would think that it would severely limit their employee pool if they only hired people who had one and only one person hard-wired into the modem at any given time.
Have you asked them about it yet?
After reading the 2nd agreement that says I can't have a wireless router, but I can have a regular router with Ethernet cord, I called help desk on the chance that someone would answer at 3 AM. A guy did and said that lots of people have routers, but you can't use the wireless kind and to call back when the office is open.
just got offered a job
Does anyone work or have any info on Wordzxpressed? I have been offered a job and want some feedback. I have been in an office job since Nov and want to go back to at home transcription but don't want to get burned!!!!
Thanks
Same here right now, because OT is offered
PLUS it is the end of the pay period when all the end-of-pay-period MT's decide to get on and take away all the work -- they have been resting for 2 weeks and can work all day and night and get their lines in. YUK !
I was just offered a job...
Pay rate is starting at 8 cpl for an IC. After 90 days you get 8.5 if you have good quality. They use "Winspread" (not sure of the spelling). Have been in business for 3 years. Have direct deposit.
They offered me 8.5 cpl.
nm
Don't know about the others, but I was offered
a position. I have 20 years' experience in acute care, very good at ESLs. They offered me 8 cpl with the potential to make big bonuses - but that means I'll have to work extra and it just isn't worth it to me and there is no guarantee anyway.
When I asked if they offshored the HR person was hesitant but said they do if the client requests it.
The person I talked with a Cymed was evidently just HR and didn't even know what I was talking about most of the time when I asked questions about platform, line counting, etc.
I was offered a job with them...sm
but did not accept it. It seemed like their pay per lines were a little low. Plus, after extensive conversations with them, I felt that they had REALLY high expectations for the pay that was being offered. Unsure though because I never accepted the job after it was offered. Hope you find out the answers that you are looking for.
When I get offered anything less than..
9 cents, I tell them right out that is low and ask if they can do better. Sometimes it works!
I just got offered 6 cpl as an IC with my
10 years of experience. That was just laughable!
Don't know much about them except what they offered me
They offered me 0.085 and then up to 0.09 once off 100% QA.
Not so. I was offered a job with them not
long age. They supply all equipment and if you have an additional phone line, they will reimburse you for that.
what do you mean - should be offered?
It is offered and available dependent upon what option you choose employee versus statutory versus IC. Do not run out of work - pay is on time/direct deposit and they communicate with you - what else do you want?
