We band together and start our own company offering our services to the hospitals we've been work
on already and take our accounts back from Transcend. I haven't signed any noncompete contract with Transcend. Would the MDI one be null and void? If my pay rate is null and void, so must my noncompete. They can't have it both ways.
Kind of risky to praise the company you work for
because somebody who must have gotten burned at some job will jump on and announce that no company can be that good, so we must be lying! That we're really managers or recruiters.
< Sigh >
Like I said - it depends who you work for. I work for a hospital at home - not a company. nm

all depends on which company you work for
to define the line they first determine what is and is not a character. Some companies believe that a space is not a character so it is not counted as one. So, once the term character is defined, then every 65 characters would count as 1 line. This is different from a gross line that just counts the lines you see on the page.
But I think it depends on which company you work for.

The kind of equipment you get depends SM
on whether you are working at Diskriter or the hospital (the hospital purchases and provides the equipment to its employees; Diskriter just throws some parts together). Pay working directly for Diskriter is 2x a month, can't remember the dates.
It kind of depends on your start date sm
Work 1st through 15th, counts go in at end of day on the the 15th, get paid on the 1st. Work 16th through last day of month, counts go in at end of day last day of the month, get paid on the 15th. So if you work the 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th you would get paid for those 4 days on the 1st (so just a little over 2 weeks).
depends on work type, experience, spaces, company, area

I've easily done 600, but it depends on the way a company counts lines and it depends on the
dictators. Obviously, if you have a good share of ESL, there is no way you could ever do 600 or 700. On really difficult ones, I usually run around 400 lines an hour and I have been working on this platform for 3 years.
Or else the company is offering
referral bonuses.
And yet, ANOTHER company offering
But wait. They have several incentives. Who the heck could afford to put into a 401k at .005 per line??? COME ON PEOPLE, GET REAL. Stop trying to jack the MT's for heaven's sake.
Is MQ the only company offering a sign-on bonus?
nm
When it rains it pours. Second job offering bonus. FT job offering (sm)
has lots of work and offering opportunity to make up lines/hours from low work during the week. Feel guilty if I don't help main account, but greed motivates me.
What lack of work? My STMs group of accounts is constantly offering OT. sm
Maybe you should talk to someone about getting more work? It's out there, within Webmedx, but you need to ask.
what kind of company
Absolutely and since like personalities mingle you can basically come to your own conclusion about what kind of company considers a person like sheri to RECRUIT??? Either they are pretty desperate or pretty ignorant, well probably both and dont forget they dont ever ever pay on time or never pay at all. dont work for them or their subs. Before you start ask the company if they sub for proveros or you WILL be sorry. ...
Where did you find that kind of company?
Please do tell, need to move on myself.
What kind of a behind-the-times company is this
that thinks they have to train you in person anyway?! LOL.
1 company, kind of 2 divisions, hourly and SM
as far as how much, I'm sure you realize that is something that has to be negotiated and isn't the same for each employee. I am not even going to give a range because I don't know if the 2 sides pay the same or not.
Internet - kind of a DQS-like program. Great company. nm

Does anyone know what company posted
the ad for an Editor that has the name RAMAH?. Has anyone heard back?
Why is this posted on the Company board?
?
depends on company but...
would guess most have a number of lines that they call full time and another number they call part time. Probably lines more than minutes.
Do you have the flexibility to fit them in whatever hours you wish? Depends. Usually as an employee you would work whatever shift they told you, i.e. S-Th 7-3. IC's are not supposed to be scheduled though I would not be surprised to find some companies fudging on that. After all, what are you going to do, quit or report them? Most of the criteria to determine IC vs. emp. come from the IRS. They are the ones that it matters most if you are IC or employee. You can search on some government sites to find tax publications regarding this issue.
It depends on what company you
they overhire, sometimes send to India, depending on your company.
Depends on the company. Did they tell you that you would be doing ER?
Some places treat ER as acute care, not clinic, but it is really up to the individual company. Best to ask your supervisor if you were not told anything when you were hired.
Really depends on the company.

I think it depends on the company...sm
I have worked for a company as an IC under a 24-hour TAT, which was still a little stressful. I love the company I work for now because I can work whenever I want without the stress and still get a good line count in. I would never go back to employee status, which I've done in the past, as well. Way too restrictive and so much stress. No thanks! Finally, after 10 years of doing this, I am happy.
Depends on the company
I had that job at a northeastern-based company and it was awful! It was trying to deal with account managers fighting each other and me. I was told to go in and monitor the accounts and get work assigned, etc., and then would hear from the account manager never to touch the account. It takes a LOT of experience and a lot of responsibility. If you take this job, don't do it for less than 16-17 an hour.
Depends on the company but overall
Your line counts very much depend on the company with ExText. I worked with one company and was easily able to get 400+ lines an hour..easy account, easy dictators, etc, but then I worked for another company and was on an even easier account and struggled to make 200 lines. With the average pay per line for VR editing running at around .04, that's just not gonna cut it.
Depends on the company.
I have 2 IC contracts and neither of them require me to have a certain number of hours or lines. I work when and how often I want. A lot of companies require a certain line count per week. and then there are other companies that treat their ICs like employees and require a set schedule. I personally love being an IC and having complete flexibility over my schedule as I have a little one at home and can't always work at the same time each day.
I think it depends on company.
I know mine does pay for spaces. I get good lines on Escript averaging higher than my straight transcription and higher than with my previous platform (ancient word perfect). I've heard complaints of low averages but I don't understand how this is.
Depends on company. Some just the
lines over base, some pay for all lines if over base.
That depends on the company
. Normally a lead is the main MT on the account who supervises the other MTs. But structure varies from company to company
It depends on the company/msg
You probably will not make as much as you would MTing, but $800 every 2 weeks sounds low to me. Probably will not have to type, but again, it depends on the company.
have you ever done this kind of work before? sm
It is quite difficult and very tedious. People talking over one another, sometimes a lot of research on the internet that you would have to do just to find certain studies and authors. Quite frankly, I do not think $50 an audio hour is worth it. That breaks down to about $12/hour +/- $2/hour, depending on how good you are.
On the other hand, he is being quite generous with the pay, because there are transcription services that are paying $25-30/audio hour for the same kind of work!! That breaks down to $7-10/hour! And there are people that will do it!!
That is just my 2 cents
Their website touts themselves as being an "AMERICAN" family-owned company. Kind of ironic! n

Because in the archives the company rep for TransTech posted about
I saw a post in the archives signed by TransTech Medical Solutions about Heartland buying or selling a company. I just wondered if TransTech was connected to Heartland.
Well, keep us posted. I'm curious how this company pans out.

Like anything, it depends on the company. Some good, some bad. nm

I have worked for both. It just depends on the company..sm
the smaller one treated me better, but pay was less, benefits were less, however, more flexible in scheduling and treated more like a person than a number. The bigger companies I have worked for pay better, better benefits, but you are treated like a number, not too much personal chit-chat with other employees or with your supervisor and not as much flexibility in scheduling. Depends on what you are looking for.
not necessarily so - I think it depends on the company and how they set it up(sm)
I worked on a hospital using Cquence and the lines produced on it were paid with spaces (the way my company was paying us.)
Depends on the company, but with Axolotl
there is no freedom in the schedule. If you are scheduled to work 9 to 5, you work 9 to 5. Can fudge 15 minutes either way without an issue, as long as you are getting your lines.
I work for MDI - what kind of info are
you wanting?
Sure, but what kind of work is left . sm
for straight typing? VR rejects? 99% ESL and 100% crap? At this point in time, there doesn't seem to be any reason for the VR MTs to envy the straight typers.
I just took a big leap and applied for IC status with a company who just posted
a job on here today...HIP or Health Information Partners. I didn't find much in the archives about them but what I found was favorable. I have been employee status my whole life but with the new Medquist pay scales this year, my paychecks took a big nosedive. I think I am only going to apply to companies that have IC status even though I'm somewhat afraid of doing that. I just need bigger paychecks and more flexibility with scheduling and I'm hoping if I do get hired as an IC somewhere, I will learn to really like it and earn more money!!
Seems to me YOU are the one starting the problem because someone posted POSITIVE about a company!!
I take it you don't have a job because you THINK you are worth more money than you really are? Now I agree that the pay is not that great, but these days just to find a nice company to work for would be worth it. I hope you are miserable in your so-called high paying job...IF you ever get one. I doubt anyone would keep you with your NEGATIVE attitude. ces't LA vie
What people are saying about Keystrokes is not hype like another company posted, this is really how
You cannot go wrong. They are as honest as the day is long.
Similar but weirder story about another company that posted here
3 months back looking for people. I sent resume, followed up with direct phone call, she did not even have my resume for my 'phone' interview. She was to send packet of info and then contact me with time for further training. After 5 days I get an email stating since I did not return packet she assumed I was not interested. I e'd stating had not received packet and 3 days later I get 'second send' - I send email stating I had received that packet and would send in ASAP. Two days later I returned the packet - with all kinds of personal info as she told me I was hired - that was 1 month ago and nothing from her since. Calls to her office ring and ring and ring.....I've come to the conclusion she is a complete nut case who only lives in the moment - not at all sure how in the world she does business and I would never, ever work for her at this point. It is definitely all about her and her needs and who cares about anyone else. No thanks.
Awhile back, someone posted about a company that considered sm
30 hours a week to be FT with benefits. Does anyone remember the name of that company?
Thanks so much.
I think it depends on the company and what position you hold. sm
If you are a Team Lead or manager, I think it would be a conflict of interest. If you are an IC, you should have more than one place that you do work for to be considered as an IC, otherwise you are an employee.
2000 lines per day, what kind of work are you doing? nm
