I can tell the OP had legit info, but my issue /sm

is this.  If someone is employed by Webmedx, goes through training and does not hit the 98%, I'm sure they are let go, BUT they are also paid for the work they did while in training.  They have to be paid, it's the law.

If you get work from WMX you have to return the work typed, correct?  If a trainee typed it, you wouldn't return the work without someone from your company looking it over to score it, I assume any errors are corrected also.

If you return a completed report to WMX, they have to pay you, correct?  If the trainee who typed that report is let go, you are keeping 100% of the money paid to you for that report and the MT who typed it is not paid a cent?  I am trying to work this out in my head and this is the conclusion I have come to.  If it is correct, there is something very wrong with this arrangement.  You may not have to pay someone by law, but morally that wouldn't sit right with me at all.

Career Step is a legit program and they are partnered with Spheris for them to hire their grads upon graduation.  Starting pay is around 6.5 cents per line which is in the range of what other newbies start out making in employee status.

I attended Career Step, took the Spheris Training Track and went to work for Spheris.  I am also an affiliate member who does receive a small token of a referral fee, however, I am not here to give rave reviews or try to twist your arm one way or the other.  I would recommend that you attend a course that is approved by the AAMT/AHDI though. 

If you have specific questions, feel free to email me!

You didn't ask anything else.  Email me if you have more specific questions.

I love the company I work for.  I love the people, love the work.  Only one complaint:  They deduct $12.50 out of each paycheck for a total of $25. each month for rental of their software.  They said they were told they had to do that if we were IC's.  We use our own computers, or rent theirs, so why should we pay to use a version of Word? I have never had anyone else do this in 15 years.  Also, they want to charge a fee to do direct deposit.  I've never seen that charged for either.  Is this Kosher or should I say something?  If so, what?

There is a reason they are always hiring.   Lots in the archives.

i have worked for west.com - made $12 - $14 per hour, paid every 2 weeks

hope this will help

I went full through full QA and was released with above 99%. Additionally, I asked my QA for help regularly for help on some difficult dictators (for the future) and she always commented how throrough I was.

That was before the company changed hands, however, and all QA personnel changed.

and you should stop adding the fuel, I think you are enjoying yourself

the offshoring began.   I don't understand why they wouldn't QA 100% of the work knowing there were quality issues.

I know we're not the only MTs to go through this, but many of us have a long history with QT and unless you've been on the inside you don't truly understand all the emotions we're going through.    I feel like my best friend has just stabbed me in the back. 

10 cpl is more than I make, but I'm pretty fast.  My base rate is 7.5 to 8 cpl depending on which of my 2 accounts I'm on, but since I do enough lines daily to qualify for bonus, I acutally make  9 to 9.5 cpl per line.  I average about 1500 lines per day.  Production is what drives pay, so that's why I'm making what I do.    I think it's unfortunate that years of experience isn't really compensated in this business, but years of experience doesn't always equal what the employer wants, which is speed and low error rate.  Everyone brings a different set of skills to the job.   In the end it's what you produce and not how many years you have behind you that the employer cares about.   Fair or not, that's the nature of this business.   

my company will make things not so nice for an MT hoping they'll quit rather than firing them.  If quality continues to be poor, not meeting TAT, etc., then there may not be enough work, only the horrible dictators, etc.   If things are slow and you are a new hire maybe the old-timers are getting the work.   If a new account went VR that might also explain the work load too.   If you are otherwise happy at KS I'd call and be firm in that you need more work. 

I feel like companies should offer some explanation if work is low.  I know they can't give you what they don't have, but if you are a FT MT, there is a reason you are and you have obligations to meet and it isn't fair that they can't provide the work you need and not give you some feedback.    

I think companies that say stuff like this are, well, I can't say the word but it's a banned one for sure.  HELLO out there...We are paid on PRODUCTION.  No one knows more than us that if we don't make lines, we don't get paid well...of course we all know that they will remind us if for some reason we fall below their predetermined robotic production requirement.

This whole 1/2 hour unpaid for lunch is absolutely infurating to me for some reason which I have yet to figure out.  I can feel my neck veins throbbing even now just thinking about it because the joint where I work pulls the same crapola, and yes it is crapola. 

Man, I so do feel a career change looming.

Some accounts must be affected differently than others, because its as slow or a little worse for me lately.  I guess as long as someone is willing to say the problem is fixed they'll never really fix it.

Issue resolved here, too as of 2:30 p.m.  I really never had any doubts to begin with as pay has never been late. 

They are the most professional group of people I have ever worked with in 20+ years. 

It really irritates me that people have to come to a public forum and tell ALL to people who really have nothing to do with the issue.  If you have issues, go to management.  Maybe it's the people who have to run their mouths (fingers) to every MT in the country that haven't gotten their checks yet. 

Boy, things sure do come back to bite sometimes, don't they?

I know your problem. I just moved from the Oregon Coast and had Hughesnet. The only company that I know of is Oracle Transcription, Inc.  I am not sure if they are hiring though; work has been slow.  Good luck!

Here is my opinion.  I feel that we will all have to become employees in Jan. From what I remember in meeting, Jan 1 date was mentioned, and it seemed to me evasive when asked if we could stay IC.  I do remember them saying if you wanted to be employee now you could do that now. Well, I wonder then if we are going to have a choice, and if we could do it now, why then would there be a Jan 1 date at all? Do you see what I mean? Jan 1 for what? Wouldn't you think that if one wanted to be employee, they'd do it now. So, that's why I think we will not be offered IC.
