Well even at 14-15 bucks an hour sm
as an employee with benefits, it is still pretty good given todays employment climate. Im like some of the other posters here, still have to pay bills and sitting around waiting for the big bucks is not paying the bills. 14-15 bucks an hour works for me until if and when something better comes along.
I just don't get this whole mindset of because someone is not getting the pay they want, they won't work at all and then complain about having no money and not being able to pay bills.
I am 54 years old, been in this business almost 32 years. Call me old fashioned or stupid, but it makes no sense to me if the jobs are not there, why one would not take the jobs that are there until something better comes along........if it ever does.
At least 40 bucks an hour is what we are worth - nm

Didn't your outside job with the big bucks work out? We were hoping for ya..nm

there is NO WAY I would work for 9 bucks an hour!!! What is the email
address??? I would LOVE to email them and tell them how crazy they are!!!
I hate it and I am making about $200 bucks less a month. sm
I miss doing straight transcription, but I can't find any companies with steady work doing straight transcription. I am forced to do VR now and am making about 200 bucks less a month on eScription platform.
1200 lines at 3 cpl equals 36 bucks
You can work at 7-11 for that kind of money.
GREAT - so as long as the next cut is under 32% we will still be making big bucks, right? nm

Unlimited long distance for 50 bucks a month.nm

You won't make big bucks like that unless you own your own service or have only private clients.

Hunred bucks says it's TT - exactly why I left after a month. Happy now.
Wait a minute now..before you sink a bunch of bucks in books..sm
I've been at this for many years and I have about 18 books that I've acquired over the years. Since I started working using internet-based platforms, I rarely have to open those books..just Google gets it most of the time even quicker. Oh, yeah and the 150 bucks I sunk into SmartType..well, it's been sitting on the shelf for 6 years now. The internet-based platforms and most others have their own expanders. A good basic word book from Stedmans or Sloans should be adequate for a newcomer; but some companies provide these as well or offer a discount. So, bascially, between Google and company-provided Expanders and equipment along with reimbursements for phone line/web access, start-up cost should be quite minimal now.
Go to your State Labor Board & for a few bucks, file a complaint.

is the deductible for insurance still 2500 bucks w/ no copay for doc visit?
That is the sole reason I quit. That and the fact they switched me from account to account as soon as I started making a decent line rate with one.
They also have the ability to slow down how fast you can download files. They slipped and told me that it was to help control traffic on the server.
My job is working out splendidly, I wouldn't say big bucks, but good pay and nice people. sm
I am just looking for something to do in the evening and weekends. I am going to the job during the week daytime hours. I miss transcribing as it is not transcribing. Thanks for your concern. But, yes this job I am working at during the day is a breath of fresh air compared to trying to sort through transcription companies, trying to figure out how they pay, by the character, by the 65 character count line or gross lines. I really am enjoying the people the place too. I would recommend trying an out of the house job for everyone on this board that can!
If you can transcribe 175 lph, that is 14 bucks an hour. I wouldn't call that chump change. sm
Working for minimum, or barely above minimum flipping burgers or cashiering at WalMart is chump change in my opinion.
