I would not go with a company that pays so low
and lies about stuff
Almost every company pays more
Just pick any other company and apply.
My company pays more
For acute care. Where I work, ops pay 2 cpl more than clinic notes. The breadth of knowledge required to transcribe op notes across multiple specialties is significant. Obviously it can be learned, but takes time to get proficient at ops.
I would go 110% with the company that pays more...sm
Some will argue, but a good MT shouldn't have a hard time finding a job. I didn't. They are posted everywhere. Go where the money is! I was in the same situation. Going from platform to platform, account to account, slows you down more than you know. Hop on one train and ride it!
anyone know company who pays weekly?
Are there companies that pay weekly? Curious.
As an SE the company pays your taxes, but
you have the flexibility with your schedule as an IC. I have always been an employee so I'm not up on all this, just what I was told at one time, though that was a couple of years ago and rules/regs may have changed. Don't know how SE would affect you being able to claim business expenses, if at all.
The company I work for pays
for radiology by the line .. .08-.09 depending on your assignment .. our radiology MTs do very well. The radiology work is MRI, DEXA, PET, ULS, and special studies. Experience in doing more than plain films is essential. The work is Monday through Friday as these are all outpatient centers.
The company I work for only pays
or anything else. They say we will go more than twice as much and make big, big bucks. Do you believe that? I don't. 4 CPL!!! And I bet you can figure out which company on your own.
What company pays per report for QA?
That is low pay for VR. The company I work for pays almost
twice that. I hate VR. I don't have to do it where I work.
My company pays $15 to $18 per hour for QA but
I was offered a QA position and even at the highest hourly amount, I make at least $3 more transcribing.
Depending on how much discipline I have on any particular day, I make anywhere from $20 to $35 an hour but never any less than $20 an hour on production. Other than my hands killing me periodically, I would much rather transcribe!!
This company pays weekly...nm

My company pays downtime if
there is no work within your scheduled work time. You don't have to make it up if there is work later either. They don't guarantee lines though and the amount they pay is less than most MTs would make by transcribing, but it is money coming in. We went several months where some accounts were running out of work daily, now lots of accounts on OT until further notice.
My company pays very weakly! LOL
IC pays ENTIRE tax to IRS, company does NOT pitch in.
This is a BIG boon for the companies as they try to pay ICs the same (or lower) rate than employees. At the end of the year, you will find yourself owing Uncle Warhead a really big chunk of money - and deductions? Forget it unless you can come up with more than $5,000 worth, which you may be able to do if you are buying a home - be real careful if you are renting. I don't care what anyone tells you. Talk to a tax professional before considering going IC.
what company pays 17 dollars an hour?
JLG pays 21 dollars an hour, that is a fact.
Anyone know what a company called Synernet pays? nm

What company pays 18 cpl? I'm familiar with most of the places out there and 18 cpl is unheard o

I work IC for a company who pays by check in mail
Never had a bounced check either. I can see why you would worry though. Maybe they will do the switch eventually.
Anyone know if Accustat is a good company and pays on time?
Curious
Good company. Pays higher than many. Very high
Pay is always on time (early if payday is on a holiday). Good transcription software. Approachable, friendly management. Benefits okay. (Blue Cross). Also eye & dental. 401K that they also contribute to. Pretty much straight typing, not much in the way of templates. VR in place on some accounts. Currently MT has the choice of using it or not. All in all, I'm satisfied with working there.
I work for a company in Florida too who gladly pays state taxes because
they know it is the law.
Does anyone know if Precyse Solutions is a good company that pays on time and has plenty
of work?
So the company you're with now....sm
1. Pays more per line and has better benefits.
2. Doesn't send work overseas and never ever ever will.
3. Always tells you how much you're appreciated.
4. Never says a negative thing about anyone or anything.
5. Always tells the employees what the current and future business plans are.
Correct? If so then tell everyone where you work so we can all apply for jobs there.
Is the company you're with IC or SE? Thx much! NM

I think perhaps you're confusing them with another company?
They pay extremely well - higher than any other company I've been able to find.
You're welcome. I'm truly impressed with this company sm
and I think you'd be very happy should you decide to take a position with them. It has been a long time since I have encountered such caring people as an employer.
And thanks for the compliment on my baby. Maltese doggies are cute too. (And no, this isn't the right board for such things but what the heck.)
Good luck! 
i think they're a great company!

I wonder if you're working for the same company as me - nm

They're a good company
I've been an IC with them since November last year. I'm on a clinic account, so the work was slow around Christmas and New Year's because the clinic was closed, but otherwise, the work is plentiful throughout the week. Good company - good people. QA is really great to work with. They pay right on time and are very accurate.
I'm sure they're a fine company, but
with little kids at home and starting college classes in January to get out of this dying field my big worry is the employee status. I can't punch a timeclock. I'll look for a new job before that happens. I'm sure all their management is good and it is a decent company, but for me it comes down to employee status and set schedules. Can't do it.
wondering if you would e-mail me the name of the company you're with and TIA. nm

If you're so paranoid find another company
you type a character and leave the rest of us at Transtech alone. Thank you.
Good company, for sure. Find one where you're SM
consistently safe from overhiring--and then come back and give all the rest of us the name. In the meantime, for me at Webmedx most days have plenty of work, although some days require adjusting my schedule during the day to the work flow.
You know, evolving electronic capabilities and patient needs have now led hospitals--our employers' clients--to expect the very quick turnaround needed. Years past have taught home MTs we can work when it suits us. Is it any wonder that MTSOs are currently doing their best to deal with these realities by overhiring when needed? Webmedx is trying to stabilize this situation to everyone's benefit--economic at least for us--by pushing its MTs to meet our commitment of hours per week while still allowing some flexibility.
I'm MsIndigo and I approved this ad. :) Best wishes whereever you land.
I also work for a company in Florida and we're running
low on work, just within the past 10 days. I know it's due to the hurricane though. My main account was in New Orleans and just isn't dictating and won't be for a while, I guess. They didn't dictate each day but when they did send work about 3 times a week, I could work for 2 straight days w/o running out of their work. I type a lot of lines each day and for me and the others on that account, we are now on our secondary and third accounts which takes takes work away from others.
QT Medical is an awsome company and seems to be what you're looking for, from what you've said
xx
You're describing p.r.n. status, not IC. You need to look for a company who hires sm
p.r.n. MTs.
If you're not afraid to hide, then tell us who you are so we DON'T apply to your company!!!!
AND, if you don't NEED us for anything, then why are you HERE!! Go away!
Holidays - Is there any company who pays holidays?
Are there companies (like in the old days) who pay you for Christmas, NY, Thanksgiving, etc., MAJOR HOLIDAYS?
All the old reviews say they're horrible. Listen to those MTs and choose another company. nm

If you're that upset about it, do what I did and work for a company that doesn't outsource
nm
you're pretty much scraping the bottom of the barrel with that company

And you're okay with working for a company that sends most of its work to India and
whose workforce is predominantly Indian? You're okay with the loss of American jobs, the falling recession we are in and the falling economy due in big part to the offshoring of American jobs? How okay will you be when you lose your job to an Indian and you have to apply for food stamps and unemployment?
Sell-out MTs like you are the reason good MTs cannot make a decent wage anymore, why good MTs cannot find a good job anymore, and why sweats shops in third world countries are thriving. How do you look at yourself in the mirror?
Focus Infomatics employs 800 American MTs and over 3000 Indian MTs. Tech support is in India. The company itself is still run by the same Indian man who started the company and sold out to Nuance. He made a bundle when he sold and he is still making a bundle running the company while he pays his own countrymen and woman peanuts! He's selling out his own people and you are selling out yours! On second thought, I guess you belong at Focus with your own kind!
Hope you're enjoying those slave wages you're earning.

So you guys feel you're getting paid what you're worth with VR?
I'm not trying to be snarky. I've never done VR, so I'm trying to understand.
You're happy with your paycheck with VR? Do you find the files to be as bad as the original post implied?
So you're telling me, basically, they're bad news?
They offered me 0.095/line and you know - it sounded too good to be true, but I SWEAR the recruiter told me they do not outsource. Oh brother... I just wish they'd be honest. I really don't know what to do.
Not the OP, but they're supposed to take out all the other taxes as you're an employee with th

No, they're not losing money....they're gaining!
If a company charges their clients by the line, I'm sure that line rate does not go down even though the MTs pay does.
ASR pays about 2/3 normal line rate to its MTs. Their ultimate goal is to have the MTs do twice as much work. Therefore, the client is getting their work faster, but paying their normal rate, while corporate gets that money and the MTs get the lower line rate.
Whether the newbies want to realize it or not, MTSOs have not increased MTs' salaries in the past 10 years. They still start out at the same pay as the last century!
This used to be a very lucrative profession. Nowadays, most MTs are considered to be paid at the poverty level. You don't believe me, look it up!
I got a new job but it pays less. nm

QA pays much much less than MT
/
MQ pays its MTs less than
cleaning ladies make. Believe me, there are many other jobs out there that will give you better than the pittance (and bad treatment) MQ has to offer. You deserve better. Don't settle for MQ's nonsense.
