It's "well." You're paid "well," not "good."

Posted By: RME on 2005-08-13
In Reply to: Not editing. - transcender

You get "good pay," and you're "paid well."


And the use of an apostrophe is required in ALL "n't" words.  Not even going to try to tackle the balance of the punctuation.


Transcend obviously prefers quantity over quality these days.

"well-rounded in all aspects...."
even outside of the transcription part.  What the heck does that mean?!  Darndest thing I've ever heard of!
Ok if you are happy with spoken "well done" but I

"Well staffed?" What does that mean, everybody 3-4 jobs a day?
NM
I was told the account is just "well-staffed" and
that the work load has not plummeted. But, at 2 million lines a month, how can it be cleared up so often?
"drop the hypen from "well-developed, well-nourished"

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?
Maybe when we're paid more than...sm
the bare minimum, we'll be happy to learn more than the bare minimum.  And what MT on these boards do you think knows just the bare minimum as you stated?
You're wrong. Never have been paid for OT. Many others
have said the same thing.   I don't know how other accounts work, but there is no way to even submit OT on transnet, you can only submit the number of lines. 
They're probably paid on production, too,
Too bad that's the standard
M.O. for most companies these days. Quantity over quality.
Paid for the whole report and you're right about
why you'd likely be fired after the adjustment time if you're not making at least min wage.  The employer would need to supplement your income to bring you to at least min wage for your state.
Or you're paid by the hour/not line
Or, you are paid by the hour/not line.
Absolutely! We're no longer being paid enough sm
to transcribe and edit the stuff we hear day after day after day.
If you're paid by the line, and not for checking - sm
demographics, then the more time you spend checking demographics, the more you are working for free. A little bit of it is one thing, a lot of it is quite another.
not sure about "good" but sm
there have been a lot of rad positions on MTdaily.com  The MTjobs.com if free entry.  Look there might find something good. They seem to be paying higher than MTing.  One about a month ago ws 14 a line.
This "good" pay is only for ICs

The reason MTs get paid nothing and treated like doormats is they're
Expect nothing, and you GET nothing.
Which branch of MD-IT is the "good one"
but want to apply to the right branch. Thanks in advance.
Oh, yeah. Because you are so "good."
t
Why did you leave that "good company" TT
Which company did you find better than TT?
You're supposed to get 12 hrs of paid training even though it doesn't take that long to learn
s
AAMT did not change "good English" and terminology, sm
The changes originated with the American Medical Association, the Chicago Manual of Style, as well as other references from which the AAMT BOS is compiled.


I wasn't trying to be a smart-aleck about the "good luck" sm
part - I truly wish everyone could get what they need at what is a fundamentally good company (in my opinion). I'm sorry your STM isn't helping. Can you try again with someone else in the company?

(PS - I saw her today at the reception, glass of wine in her hand. haha)
They said we'd have a choice BUT you'd have to have a "good reason" to stay an IC/stat.
nt
Training on the system, not paid, but if you are physically typing reports then you are getting paid
nm
Oh, yea -- PAID, too. Grandmother PAID LEAVE would be a great drawing card to TT !!

Just love that PAID TIME OFF !!


Any company that makes you wait to get paid until they get paid by the client
is not a company you want to get involved with. That's part of being an MTSO, figuring out how to cover your payroll while waiting to get paid. I would stay away!
Is this a live count of lines paid for or same as CTRL I that we do not get paid for ?? nm
m
Me too.. the outsourced company was paid for and paid me for headers, but OSI does/did not.
x
I have always paid yearly and have never paid or been assessed a penaltly. nm

Be glad you get paid tomorrow. We are paid on the 1st and the 15th, so sm
since the 1st is on a weekend, we don't get paid until Monday.  It will happen again on the 15th of August …sigh.  It is the only thing I do not like about the company, though, so I guess a few weekends of poverty a year is not too much. 
Lori never paid me and now ETC has not paid my friend.
What is WRONG with these companies?    
Is it still being paid on time if you are paid on the 1st and 15th.....
and if the 15th falls on a Saturday getting paid on the 17th?  My bank is open and posts on Saturday that means I am not being paid on the 15th doesn't?  This has happened a lot lately. 
At least you get paid, I would rather be paid late than not at all. Just my 2 cents.
nm
Yea, at least u got paid. Everyone who worked for TSI is STILL waiting to be paid

I don't understand how Jayne cannot pay us.  We have christmas coming up.  I bet her family has a fantastic Christmas because she is using OUR money to pay for it.  I worked so hard for her and I know the other girls did too.  How insulting that she will not return phone calls or emails or PAY us.  How does she look at herself in the mirror knowing that the MTs who did all the work FOR her did not get paid.  She even sent me an email saying I give you my word HAHAHA her word is nothing, obviously.  Well, I will call the attorney for the THIRD time and see what is going on. 


To the poster, at least you got paid even if it was late.  I sincerely hope you get your last check.


Hope you're enjoying those slave wages you're earning.

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!
Spaces, paid or not paid. Do you know? sm
I just started with a company and when I asked specifically if I would be paid for spaces, they said yes.  When I started using their program I noticed that the line count for each job did not include spaces.  I checked it with more than one program.  I called them and they said there was a glitch in the program that would be fixed.  It has been almost two months now and that glitch is still not fixed.  My checks do not include spaces either.  No one at the company knows what is up.  I can't believe I am the only one at this company who has deduced that they are not paying for spaces.  So, do you check your line counts to see if spaces are included?  You might be in for a surprise.  Man, I am tired of being burned when I am a reliable and honest IC.  Maybe time to do something else.  Thanks for listening.
You get paid when SHE gets paid from the client...sm
I don't like that at all.
Hey, you're in luck then. They're hiring! (nm)

If you're an IC, you pay all your taxes. Otherwise you're an SE or employee. nm

If you're PT you're required to work

8 of your hours in one weekend day.  There's no extra pay for it though.

We're not 'so scared' of it. We're trying to help
you to not make a huge mistake, but I guess you're determined to learn the hard way, so good luck with that.
If you're in the 37% tax bracket, you're making over
100K per year. Quit complaining.
You're right on it! They're just trying to cause panic.

How can you KNOW what you're doing without THINKING you know what you're doing?

they're desperate because they're sm
driving away all their employees with the horrible new changes they're implementing.  It's a mass exodus, and they couldn't keep up with their work load before all the departures.
