Just this month alone, I have turned in the addresses & phone numbers (sm)

Can anybody send me a list BY EMAIL PLEASE for all the group 3 emails? 

mine. I have ten years experience, but normally I only work part time, so I haven't reached that high of a salary yet.

Again, I have to ask, is $47,000 with or without benefits?

I tend to also agree with you on the leaving blanks, looking up terms, etc. When you know your doctors, you know what they are saying. With years of experience, you know the vocabulary and you don't spend as much time looking things up.

You all bring up valid points to ponder, I am definitely going to think.....what would l look for in an employer and what am I worth based on my experience. Then I need to figure out if I am making/earning that based on the hours that I work.

My current pay for straight typing is 10 cpl.  Now, let's say I average about 160 lines per hour for an 8-hour day.  For a 2-week pay period, my pay before taxes is $1280.  If I double that, at 320 lines an hour at what my company is offering for VR (3.5) my 2-week pay before taxes is $896.  Even if I produce 2.5 times my straight typing production at 400 lines per hour, my 2-week pay before taxes is still only $1120. 

How am I making more money???

of money will be paid for the service of having someone's records subpoenaed. I have read this entire thread and I see nothing that anyone can really do.

IP addresses are not definitive either. Groups of people can share an IP address particularly on places like AOL and there are other companies that do it that way also, so someone would really have to go to lengths to find out the definite ID of someone. I don't believe I have read anything other than independent opinions presented on this topic.

These boards are to share opinions and not all opinions are fair, but this is the United States and we do have freedom of speech. Presenting an opinion about a company is ok. Libeling a company is not. I do not see libel at all in this topic.

If you translate old LPH rate into lines, they restructured the tiers so they start at a lower amount of lines, and pay at a higher bonus rate than before.  So management's intent was to give us a bonus raise, and that is how it will work out for me (going by the lines I typed the last couple of pay periods).

As far as not getting the bonus when you take PTO, that is pretty much standard for companies with line-based incentives.  Its just another downside of production-based pay.  Only if a person was paid hourly could they expect to get paid exactly the same for PTO (but they'd also get paid the same all the time, and no ability to make more by working harder).

I feel they had good intentions when they made this change.  The LPH system had its problems (like when Enterprise would fbe slow or reeze up you'd have to keep adjusting the time clock because your LPH took a dive) and this was a way to eliminate some hassles.  They already received some complaints yesterday that they needed to add another tier, and they did.  I'm sure they will continue to tweak it if people have complaints.

There are certain factions who have profited greatly from having us believe that unions are corrupt and useless.  Yes, there have been abuses of power in unions, and the auto industry is paying for that.  However, that is only one of there problems and probably not one of their biggest. 

Who needs unions?  Look at the average American worker, barely able to live paycheck to paycheck, and corporations making record profits.  How bad do things have to get?  Are you willing to just sit back and let the corporations continue to take over?     

Unions are about giving workers a chance, a chance to stand up for themselves.  It is only through organizing that we can create a united front and stop this trend of abuse to the American worker.  It is not about being militant or greedy.  It is about human decency.

So, I guess you could maybe get by with less than 1000 a day, although the incentive tier would make it worth your while to do a bit more.  I am using ExText, and yes, I find it easy to use, but then I used it for a year with another company.  I think their other platform is Mongoose, and I know nothing about that, so really cannot say.

Yes, they are hiring now.  In fact, there is a $500 sign-on bonus.  I think it is all just acute care.  I'm sure they would love to have someone with your experience.  Rhonda Durham is the recruiter.  I am sure she could answer any of your questions.  I am happy to help too, if I can, but I am relatively new.  The account I am working on is mostly psych, it seems, and I am loving it.

Another nice thing, their benefits start after 60 days, not 90 like most.

Good luck to you.

I don't feel comfortable publishing them here, but email me privately and I will send you a comparison of the old rates and the new rates that obviously proves its a raise.  I'm working tonight but will gladly send it tomorrow to anyone that asks.

Also they sent an email to everyone yesterday stating PTO will be calculated just the same as it was before, based on what you made the prior pay period, bonus and all.

I guess quite a few people that are freaking out about this are going to feel silly in about a month when they are making more money and find out they were wrong.

in upper right hand, I think the numbers might be line count, what is the other one in the blue box? 

but when they would call from India, the number showed up as a KY or IN number, even though indeed they were in India.

They are basically nice people to deal with.  I am just amazed and a bit outraged that they would lie to people in their ad.  It shows a lack of respect for us as MTs, I think, to try to deceive us in such a manner.

If anyone wanst to get through to me while I'm working, they have my cell phone number.

And, as I said, some accounts are using wav files -- no doubt soon all of the accounts will convert.  Hope so ... would make it easier (less expensive) to work when traveling.  :-)

Lots of good companies out there -- hope you find one that fits :)

both sides have been running a little low, may be due to the emphasis on tight turnaround time.

Dictaphone is a company and one of their many products is a C-Phone.
