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!

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.
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.
I know a company that pays for 5 if you're off.

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?
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?
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.

MDI pays 9-11 cpl.

My VR pays at
4 cents a line. I really hate to see that places are going even lower than that. My platform is an excellent one and if not for that would never be able to make the $20+ per hour pay that I make. It is so unresonable for these places to just cut pay to the bone. How will anyone be able to make any kind of living if this keeps on? From what I have seen over the years, VR has never gotten to the point where it can be on its own and by reducing the scale of pay, pretty soon companies will see MTers dropping like flies instead of doing their work.
OSi ALWAYS pays on time!
In all the time I have worked there they have never been delinquent.
That's TransHealth that pays that way. nm

keystrokes pays, are they......
On time? I do hope so ! Just because we work at home, some of these companies think, for some reason, that we will do the work (and it is a REAL job) for no pay. We ought to have the RIGHT to do that to them !
Employee pays ALL?
At my current company I only pay $75 per month - company pays rest. Sounds a bit odd, I must agree.
Transolutions pays 100.00 for every sm
year that you are employed. Otherwise, they don't pay squat.
Who do you work for that pays
pays per minute?
Does anyone know who pays QA hourly? sm
I need a QA job that will pay me hourly, so if you have any leads, send them my way. :)
MQ pays QA by the hour.

Is it true that RIU pays 5 cpl for MTs? How do they keep them? sm
I have heard that they act real nice but are back stabbers too.
I had a friend who was an MT with them and she stayed because they intimideated her into staying, told her that she would fail elsewhere. Do they treat all their employees as slaves?
Sad. P, my friend, said that they profess to be a good fine Christian company and then cheat, lie, and stab you behind your back?
Sad.
transolutions pays (nm)

MDI FL pays biweekly.

Medware pays every

Actually, we both know that we are going to work more for the one who pays more!

Anyone know what TransTech pays?
I saw their ad, but they don't having anything about starting cpl rate. I have been a MT for 10+ years and don't want to waste my time testing with this company if they don't pay well. Thanks!
Does anyone know what Keystrokes pays for RAD? (sm)
Is it still only $1.25 per page? Or is it by line. Need more up to date info. Please!
who pays per report??
Can anyone tell me what companies pay per report for radiology and which ones have Meditech? Thanks.
So where might you work? My co pays 6.5.
I'm not putting that down. I believe all MT work is equal. The companies do not seem to feel the same way.
Does anyone know how Transcend pays out
Their $1000 sign-on bonus? Thanks so much!
Transcend pays still
one day, 4 hours with trainer = $60.00
It pays to take a "pay cut" sometimes
I made -good money- at my old MT job but in return for the -good money- I had to tolerate unqualified superiors whose arrogance and abuse would not be tolerated in most places. I stayed in the hot seat with those people for stupid reasons and none of it because of things I personally did wrong. I would not leave for a long time because I thought I could never make the same amount of money anywhere else and besides I was honestly too lazy to want to start over again. Finally though I had enough, my husband had enough, my kids had enough of my whining but never taking steps to get myself out of that situation.
I took what I thought would be a -pay cut- with another company but it turned out that my current facility is 10 times easier and the supervisors are actually qualified to supervise me. I could not be happier. I make more money even with a bit of a -pay cut- because I'm not constantly on mandatory phone calls for problems unrelated to me personally, plus spending time reading pointless emails. The line incentives help too. My account is so much easier, my supervisors leave me alone to do my work, and my family is happy at dinnertime.
Forget the cpl rate because alot of the time it is tied in to a bad company that is forced to pay so much because they can't keep good MT's. If you are in a similar situation to mine, stop whining, get off your lazy butt and find a company that pays you -maybe less- but will turn out to be more and that respects you and gives you good accounts.
