1.  The reason it is hourly is so they can pay you on a 1980's pay scale.  It is nothing more than bait to use as an excuse to pay you less.

2.  Many hourly QAs tend to dump jobs they don't want for someone else to do the dirty work.  The high producers who care about their work end up doing most of the work.

3.  If you get paid by the line you make at least 50% more.  I left an hourly QA job about a month ago for one that pays by the line and I doubled my income within two weeks.  By working on the long jobs other QAs don't want, I make a lot of money.

4.  Hourly QAs make about half of what good MTs make. 

5.  QA in general is one of the most thankless jobs around.  I left MT for QA so I could share my knowledge.  What a joke.  The MTs argue with you and never stop making the same mistakes.  Not only did I lose a lot of income, I hated coming to work every day to get the same reports from the same lazy MTs and then get nasty emails from the same MTs.  I got stuck with the jobs the other hourly QAs didn't know how to do or didn't want to do.  Why should they care?  They get paid no matter what.

This is just my personal thought and i'm sure you would have VERY different thoughts on this from other MTs. 

When I worked as an IC with 20 hour TAT:

I found that I wasted way more time researching a blank (that I would never come to figure out anyhow), I found myself rechecking things all of the time and relistening to things constantly just because it was there. 

I have found out for myself that I could have been way, way, way more productive and making way more on a regular employee schedule.  I am done when my schedule is done...none of this all day every day thing...that's what it ended up turning into for me because the client was VERY picky (I'm talking obsessive picky about EVERYTHING) and I had to fine tooth comb everything to the point where it would take me 6-7 hours to get 400 lines in ...  haha, and the kicker is taxes still weren't taken out of that yet...so I bet you can tell what my pays looked like. 

I don't think I will ever go back to TAT work.  It works out for some people.. but not for me.  If I am going to have to be glued to my computer at some point in the day, I might as well do it on a schedule and get some kind of employee benefits out of it (holiday pay and PTO). 

When I figured what I was making doing IC work minus all of the taxes... I was making way less than I am now working 5 and a half hours a day 5 days a week employee status.

I always said I wanted IC work on a TAT..but, to me, there is no benefit to IC work unless you are a busy person and have a lot going on during the day or need really frequent breaks. 

Like I said..this isn't the case for everyone..just for me.  Just something for you to think about.

Hi,

I was just wondering if there are any good companies hiring ICs.  I work for a national but I need a backup for when there is no work. 

Thanks,

Tina

If TT asks the employee to jump in and help, then they should have to pay OT.  If it is because the MT did not make the line count, then that is on the MT. 

It is HORRIBLE that a company who hires employees asks them to work when they need help but will not pay OT.  They deserve to be turned in.

dollar signs, I guess that makes you greeeeeedy as well, huh?

Once you figure out the taxes you have to pay at this low of a rate, it's absolutely not worth it...easy or not.  If it was a starting rate that's another story.
