In Reply to: ME TOO - bad business
you were being used for their transcripition. How sad our industry is coming to that. To use people who need the money for free. I was in your position and got evicted, had to live with my daughter, lost my car, and was in a depression for 6 months and didn't even know it. I thought I was just shocked. This was with a company who changed the platform (for the worst) and my paycheck was cut in half, but not my bills. They didn't even have the courtesy to tell me this was going to happen, they thought we would quit, so I know what you are going through. Just keep working your other jobs, don't lose confidence (I know I did). It is difficult out there right now with so many transcriptionists out of work. Just don't PANIC (hard not to do in desparate situations). What jerks!

Line Rate Bonus
Hi: Do any companies out there regularly offer higher line rates when they are in particular need of extra work at busy times? It seems to me that one company (OSI?) used to send emails around when they were in need saying that anyone who jumped in for a particular day and time would receive an extra .50 or 1 cent on their regular line rate--sure is an incentive to help out over the weekend, etc. Thanks. Geedub
Current Deventure line rate range??
If anyone cares to share what their range is (straight typing), please post or email me. Would also like to know what the average weekly cost is for family coverage. I have read through the archives and saw info on rates, but it is old.
Christmas Bonus survey...Has anyone received a bonus yet this year or expect one?
We usually get one but haven't see it yet. Just curious if anyone has been so lucky as to get one.
it sounds like a 55-character line without spaces
Sounds like a gross line though, not 65-char.
Don't know if I misinterpreted the ad, but it might not be too bad if it is a gross line depending on dictator style. If there are a lot of short lines like on my current account, it could work out really well. I would actually make more at 6 cents per gross line than I make at 8 cents per 65-character line. Comparing the last report I just did, I made $5.08 for the report at 8 cpl, but if I had been paid 6 cents per gross line, I would have made $8.58. Can't really judge line rate unless you have all the info.
I looked facility up on line - checked careers and found they had a current opening for MT there. (
That pretty much told me they did have inhouse. It was an MT position for acute care, not just one of the ancillary departments.
That is MTSO PR b.s. A raise is a raise in line rate. A bonus or incentive is just that. NOT sm
a raise.
Need current info on ETransPlus i.e. work load, line rate (ballpark), cost of benefits, SM
and overall treatment of their MTs. I found archived opinions but all old. Is anyone there now that can comment? Thanks!!
TT pay dates?

TransTech's pay dates please
THANKS
Dates for new TT accounts
This is about the new account:
We did just bring on a new account called *** doing their consults and will be bringing additional work types on Monday, November 5 and then again on Monday, November 26. This account is very large and will require additional staffing.
When are WebMedx's pay dates?nm

Question re pay dates for Webmedx. sm
I have the list that says nonexempt and exempt. Nonexempt is employee, correct? or do I have that backwards?
Also, as an example, it says this pay period for nonexempt runs 03/27 to 04/09, with pay date on 04/17. Pay days are really Monday? Are the ever there early, maybe Friday or Saturday?
Thanks!
Are there any companies with pay dates of 5th and 20th out there? nm
x
There is no industry standard for pay dates.
There is no one mandating pay dates, but typically
pay periods run from the 1st to the 15th and from the 16th to the last day of the month. Actual pay dates vary, but the 20th and the 5th are pretty common. The majority of companies follow this pay period, some pay every 2 weeks, a very few pay weekly and a very few pay monthly, but the majority pay as I stated.
I wish they would remember our anniversary dates with
I know. Never happen.
Their line rate was less than my current nat'l rate, even with mucho experience. nm
no msg
Paydays are 8th and 23rd. Mine are usually DD's the day before these dates. nm
check the dates and look again, count tons from one
company as well....no better just different and those companies are here too!! what the hay, eh????
I have no problem with the main job board mtjobs.com
Employee dates did not change; ICs are paid on 2nd and 16th now because
they are not supposed to be paid the same as employees. Were you an IC?
Went to the website, too. Just curious as I noticed the old copy dates, too. nm

I tested last year. The dates of dictation were from months before, so I don't think there's a

Also, it is not only about a birthday bonus, any bonus...sm
I am curious to see the average amount of different bonuses out there. Like anniversary, birthday, holiday, etc. bonuses. Remember back when you were an employee and had to go out to work for a company, during your birthday, anniversaries, certain special times of the year everyone would send around a card, sign it, cook a meal or something nice for you...I am just wondering if any company does that for you even though you don't actually have to dress and go to work physically. A simple poll...NOT something I will base on becoming an employee with...A SIMPLE POLL! Thanks for everyone who gave some input about their actual company and not a criticism...Just a simple question ....
No bonus here - I make my own bonus sm
by working more and having a big fat paycheck!
I have learned, in life, not to expect so as to not be let down or disappointed. I apply that reasoning to all aspects of life, including my career.
Although I agree that sometimes it is nice to have others think of you with a gift or bonus, in reality, it is not the norm working as an IC.
Christmas has become so materialized and commercialized, it really is sad for those who don't have as much as others to feel such a financial stress and burden to buy or give gifts.
So, I say make your own bonus and work a little more, get some extra lines in, and that would be your bonus!
Happy Holidays to All!
A line is a line is a line. Doesn't matter if we are talking about radiology or acute care.
1600 is not a fair minimum requirement. Sure you can achieve 1600, it shouldn't be the required minimum.
sure sounds swell. Sounds like 2350 ln/day @ 4 cents/ln=$90./day
in order to figure how many line needs to be produced to make $500 per pay period. ie, how many lines an hour needed per 8 hour day --at your rate.
So say $450 a week would be $90 a day.
For example, if making 4 cents a line,need 2,250 lines a day, 281 an HOUR (to listen through and edit) to make this great wage of $90. a day FOR ALL THIS SAME SKILL, TO KEEP UPDATED WITH CHANGING MEDICAL COMMUNITY. nope Better at Jack-in-Box Pass it up.
A company is ONLY supposed to verify that someone worked there, what dates they worked, whether PT o
and last date worked. It opens everyone up to a lawsuit if more is given, so most companies are told by their attorneys and business advisors to verify only.
No one has a right to a reference, only verification of employment.
Means a line is a line is a line, even if it only has one word on the line
it is considered a line.
Sounds like it and it sounds like you must tell them when they will be and no change them. Wonder
what you do when there is no work. Well, there will be a lot of problems with this whole plan if they dont get things straightened out with this no work situation.
"a line is a line" means gross line.
Gross line is a line, no matter how long or short.
Where is my bonus!
I have been at OSi a long time and don't know what my audit scores are. I never got a bonus but you see the same names in the newsletter every single time with the bonus. I think they are just paid it as part of the inner circle and probably never got an audit either. If I did mess up I wouldn't know it because nobody ever tells me anything about an audit. What gives????
Where is my bonus!
Well isn't that interesting that 2 people on here know nothing of audits? Why is that? Why isn't everyone getting audits monthly and randomly? Something is stinky here.
SE's bonus with MQ
Are you working for the St Louis office? This is where I was hired, but have not sent in my paperwork yet. Do you have a lot of ESL? They don't bother me too much, but they can slow you down. How are you liking working for Medquist so far....after reading some of the posts on here I am very nervous, but I think I will give them a chance to see for myself.
Bonus
Im bringing it back up here. Listen, no one owes you anything for working for them but your paycheck. The way I look at it, these people are not my friends, not my family, and have nothing to do with my holiday however I wish to celebrate it. If I were to receive something, I would be grateful but don't expect it. Your job is your job and thats all it is. It gets way too personal when you expect something from an employer. A gift is something that should be given from the heart, if one wants to, not something that is expected to be given. And as far as thank yous? I earn my paycheck, I don't expect someone to thank me for something they are already paying for. Just my opinion, probably gonna start up a big fuss here -
x-mas bonus
Hello..Merry Christmas everyone! It is my one year working at Medware and just wondering if they give x-mas bonuses? 
Bonus
You're obviously a new MT right? Sorry, but I had to laugh when I read that. In my 20+ years of working in transcription only one company gave us a Christmas bonus. It's unheard of really.
bonus
That's great. Good for you! Okay, maybe not totally unheard of, but deifnitely not the norm for most MTSOs.
Bonus
I've been with my current employer for 3 months and I got a substantial bonus, but it may be because I work for a small local nephrology group. Before this I didn't receive anything.
bonus
Well, first off, she asked about Medware specifically. no one answered that specifically, but anyway, I received a bonus from my present MTSO even after working for them for only three months, almost three years ago. I also received a fairly substantial bonus last Christmas from the same MTSO. I don't know for sure, but I suspect I will get a bonus again this year. I also sent them a Happy Holidays gift. I think it is good to *acknowledge* both the MTSO and the IC/employee, simply for doing good work all year. JMO. Merry Christmas to all.
$100 bonus! : )

$225 bonus. ;-)

I have been getting the QA bonus
for a long time. I know my account well, and I know what QA wants (for the most part!)
TT bonus
Can you elaborate on how the production bonus is figured and how often it is paid? Thanks again.
The bonus ... (sm)
.... is paid on a weekly line count. There is a minimum daily line requirement which is reasonable, and IMO, I believe they would be able to keep transcriptionists if the bonus were based on anything over their required lines per day instead of weekly.
bonus
That is definitely NOT a $1,000 bonus. Not in my book. Human nature...something else. People are crucifying eachother. 
Bonus?
I have worked for MQ for 20 years and NEVER received a bonus at X-mas! Has anyone gotten one from MQ?
Bonus
Yes, I get a bonus every Christmas. Should be getting it in this week's paycheck. I was also invited to their holiday party the first weekend in January.
