TT doesn't pay for spaces or ExText doesn't

cymed does not pay for spaces
I have trouble getting any decent line count. Any experience on spaces versus not being paid for spaces. I am thinking about going with another company. I am wondering if I would make more. Having trouble making more than 125 to 150 LPH. It is very discouraging.
Hired by Cymed and told they did not pay for spaces, but paid for headers and footers. Just did a
check on the line count, and not only do they not pay for headers and footers, they also pay for 2 lines less than I typed.
LTS (doesn't pay for spaces) and MedQuest seem to be new.

LeePerfect doesn't pay for spaces now?!
They better give you about a 30% raise in your line rate to account for that!
CYMED. Any insights on this company? NM
SPI is the company who bought CyMed
Philippines/India/US co. from what I understand
Yes, they pay for spaces. A company would have to pay me sm
double to type without spaces being paid!
What company isn't paying spaces?
What Editscript company stopped paying for spaces? Confused?
Even the long time Cymed recruiter jumped and went to another Nashville company.
i'm totally amazed they are still running but i feel an implosion any day now.
They do not pay for spaces. Other aspects of company seem good. nm

Well that doesn't say much about the company
You've been there 4 months and have 5 accounts already????? That tells people that they run out of work consistently otherwise you would be working on 1 account and have a backup, maybe 2. I've been there years and didn't even get my secondary account for almost 6 months because the work was so heavy on my primary account. Things have changed. The turnaround is so great they have to continually overhire. The only thing I have to say is think about why you were hired at 10 cpl. You're training the VR that is going to be cutting that 10 cpl to 5.5 cpl. If you're happy earning 5.5 cpl doing FULL editing that's great. Maybe you weren't there when the CEO was saying that the people who do really well on editing are not high producers in typing and vice versa. Those who have a hard time doubling their lines in editing are the ones producing 350-400 lines an hour in typing. There's no way they can make 700 lines per hour doing FULL editing. So if you're doing great in editing, you're not that great in typing...you're average. If you're a high producer in typing, let's see how happy you'll be when making 5.5 cpl for producing the same amount of work.
This company doesn't try either
They have not responded to their employees directly ... instead they put their comments anonymously on this board.
Best pay, doesn't always mean the best company. sm
You could make $0.18 cpl doing ESLs all day long and run out of work. That being said, how much would you make really if you can't do ESLs or there is no work available.
Everyone is looking for something different in a company. My suggestion is to write down what it is you are looking for, line rate, steady work flow, schedule, pay periods, etc and seek it out.
Good luck to you.
A company that doesn't ...sm
test? CMT, 16 years experience including transcriptionist, QA, supervisor/trainer. Tired of all the companies that use mttest before they will even talk to you which takes up my time - only to find they don't pay very well! Are there any companies that wave the testing if you have the experience and great references?
Just because one company does it doesn't
mean they all do. I worked for KS and I know that the work fluctuated and there were days without work. It still reflects very poorly on you to say such a thing. I don't know whether it is true or not, but without knowing every detail from both sides you aren't qualified to suggest that something she has done has caused her a lack of work.
another company doesn't pay
CC Transcription, out of Florida. First, when it is time to pay, she says O sorry, it will be 4 weeks before first check. (I quit right then but another girl did not) So, okay it 4 weeks and time to pay and she says, So sorry, my computer crashed and all the information to do direct deposits is in there, I will have to mail you a check. Well okay, so mail the darned thing. WOW! It came a week later and guess WHAT????? IT BOUNCED LIKE A A BASKETBALL OFF THE 95TH FLOOR! But, here's the best one.....now her appendix ruptured and she has been in the hospital! I must be nuts because I and positive she was not in the hospital when she wrote those checks. Is there some new thing about checks not being good for 2 weeks to wait and see if your going to get sick first? Is that a bank insurance thing I can take out? hhhmmm
She advertises here on mtstars and also on mtjobs, so BEWARE of this lady, it is also Joyce Transcription! She didn't get me NEAR as bad as the other gal, and we are the only to who communicate, so how many more are out there????
Paid for spaces depends on the account. Good company. nm

Would think whatever is FT production for that company. PT doesn't

That doesn't mean I have to work for a company
who chooses to send things out of country. I feel no need to suck it up and take it.
MBS a company that doesn't care about their MTs
This company doesn't care about their MTs and the owner or the president is very proud to post her picture in her company's website. Check the link and beware of this very deceptive company. I don't want to waste my time running after them, just want to caution all the MTs out there who are trying to earn a living, they might commit a mistake dealing with this company.
If a company doesn't pay, is there anything one can do to collect?
Trouble again
This company's name doesn't start with a "K", but......
sorry you had the same experience with another company. It stinks when you are told you have failed a test but aren't given any further details.
It doesn't matter. IF the company wants
people on site to train, that is their right to insist. There is a MTSO that has been mentioend on here, don't remember the name, that requires new employees to come to them for training.
I agree, if you went to work knowing full well that the company paid 7 cpl no spaces
why on Earth did you accept the job?
Wonderful company, but you type letters and look up addresses and you do not get paid for spaces nm
nm
depends on work type, experience, spaces, company, area
nm
From my experience, it is all in how the company sets it up to count i.e. footers, headers, spaces
etc.. I work on another platform but I noticed the same thing when I worked for a company and it would me 12 hours to get 1000 lines, and at the time, I had nothing to compare it to. Then, I thought..this is just wrong. Working 12 hours to make $80 is ridiculous so I quite. I went to work for another company...same platform... and routinely do 1500 to 2000 lines a day and I can tell the difference. You know when you do a whole page report and all you end up with is at the max 40 lines.. something is wrong. I'd say keep the best paying and dump the rest. They are obviously shorting you somewhere.
I'm looking for a company that doesn't require a schedule......
I know - does that even exist anymore? I currently work when I want, just comitting to certain number of lines in a pay period. Are there any companies that allow us to do that anymore? I'm thinking it's time for a change.
Work for a company that doesn't offshore
My company doesn't evade tax laws. They don't have
state tax. I didn't have a question and my DH and I have a very solid marriage and aren't going to split. You sound bitter.
I used to work for a company that offshores -doesn't mean I do now (sm)
Do I sense some some sour grapes here? 
My company doesn't pay for ANY holdays if you don't work

My company doesn't even have a list of what they expect
What drives me nuts is a company that doesn't even have a list of what they expect and with 8 different QA people going over the report, it's just the luck of the draw. I have had two of the same operative reports by the same dictator who uses basically the same language. Easy to type, right. Change a word here or there and send it. Had two different QA people. One report was 100%, the other 89%. One changed all the punctuation, the other didn't change a thing. One didn't like where I set up paragraphs. One gave errors because what I thought was um QA took as a and gave me an error for omitting “a” from the sentence when the dictator never dictates a complete sentence in the first place. We are told to type verbatim. So what is the difference between “Patient received bolus of” and “Patient received “a” bolus of” Of course management sides with QA so no way to complain. If they were consistent, there would be less people dreading QA and it would truly be a teaching tool, not a power play by QA to show us lowly MTs that they are better than we are and justify their own jobs.
Clever way to give-up a company name that doesn't
Have 4 accounts and no work. SR doesn't pay enough. Like the company, but..

Is there any company that doesn't have high ESL now days? nm
.
That doesn't mean it's not a problem account for the company (sm)
It's sometimes in the company's best interests to let an account go if they're too demanding or whatever. Hardly reason to start a panic like they're losing accounts.
This good Christian company doesn't pay their MTs. nm
SPi versus CyMed...SPI is offshore and YES they bought CyMed...
CyMed is now part of SPi and will be merged into the company and will follow all company policies and procedures. It's the only way the President, COO of SPi could grow the company and keep his job. He has to grow through acquisition. This means that at least 70% of all CyMed's business will be transitioned to India or Manila. The US MTs working at Cymed should be very careful and start looking!!!!
What company offers this? Doesn't sound famililar. nm

Jeannal, here is some advice - it doesn't matter which company
you go with if they have good insurance. If you are basically looking for great insurance, then go with the company that has the best insurance for you. Bottom line. It doesn't matter what kind of work you get, what kind of jobs you get, as long as you make the minimum line count and you are only concerned about insurance, then go with that company that offers the best. It might not be Diskriter, it might not be Spheris, it might not be Medquist - or on the other hand, it might be all three. It's up to you - if insurance is a big issue and work is not, then go with the company that offers good insurance only. The rest will fall into place
Work for a company that doesn't offshore. Support US MTs.

In case this company doesn't see this post, email them and tell them

It doesn't matter one whip which company she works/ed for...sm
It's all about experience and a POSITIVE ATTITUDE, which seems sorely lacking - evidenced by the ongoing bashes on this subject.
On top of that, one company is NOT a good fit for all - therefore, you may have to try and try again before you can find the right fit.
She is totally correct about years of experience. You don't start out riding a bike on the first day, and the same is totally true about MT-ing or any other career. So, buckle down, start learning and use every tool that is at hand for futuristic possibilities of better money.
But if you choose to go to work for TT, please refrain from returning here and complaining that you're not making the same kind of money. The dollar-making ability differs from MT to MT. Some of us have and some of us don't.
If you're that upset about it, do what I did and work for a company that doesn't outsource
nm
I know a company that takes work off edit and doesn't pass
p
Could anyone recommend a company that is fair and doesn't show favoritism?
thank you in advance
Focus doesn't offshore to India, they are an Indian company
that offshores to the U.S. They have an office front in MA, I think.
Archives doesn't mean it is old info necessarily. If you'll go to the main company page, typ
JLG in the search box, make sure the MTStars circle is checked and click on search you'll find lots of current information. This is considered archived information but there are posts are recently as last week there.
I think most places pay for spaces. I work for TransTech and they pay for both spaces
as well as punctuation. I would never work for an MTSO that doesn't.
