Monthly, I bring in $3500-4000, about $1800 every 2 weeks.

In Reply to: $$ per month - inquiring
I work about 5-6 hours a day, Monday through Friday. Sometimes I work a little extra if I didn't get the line count I wanted that day due to dictators, etc. Consistently, I bring in this much as an IC. It hasn't always been this way, you need to get to know your accounts and then it will come. I have the same accounts and dictators every day working for a national.

So I would expect to bring home around $1000 every two weeks
give or take
Minimum line count is 3500/week

Told minimum PT was 3500 lines a week; requires 2 weekend days a month nm

I make 2-4000/mo cant be that bad.
Missing out on a great company. BUT if you all like working miserably without a flexible schedule to each his or her own.
I suppose 4000/mo is too low for you?
What world do you live in?
monthly pay
Is the average pay around $1000.00 month and is this good pay for a MT.
2 cpl - don't know about monthly yet.

I use MS 4000 ergonomic - worked for me..
I developed tendinitis and some numbness and tingling in my fingers, but didn't have enough money to buy an expensive ergonomic keyboard so tried the cheapest I could find. I noticed that by holding my hands outward and up a bit, it relieved some of the pressure and that is what this keyboard essentially does.
It has taken about 2+ months, but the pain in my wrist is gone. It took a bit of getting used to and the keyboard sounds like a an old rattle trap, but now I like it and wouldn't go back. It might be an option if you don't have a lot of money to spend...mine was about $60.
Yes, is that 4000 dollars a month? If so,
At 6 cpl, you must've transcribed around 67,000 lines in that month. Now, do you have any idea what you could've made somewhere else? Well, at 8 cpl, you would've made around $5,360 and at 9 cpl, you would've made $6,030. You are soooo undercutting yourself by staying at a job that only pays 6 cpl.
Oh, and by the way, assuming you work approx. 40 hours a week, you must transcribe upwards of 400 lph. Most companies would LOVE to have someone that fast on board and would pay a whole lot more than 6 cpl for such a high producer!!! You should really check your options.
Oh, she does make $4000 a month.....sm
what she DOESN'T tell you is that it's not from editing. She gets a lump sum for doing other things in addition to editing.
$4000 - PT - 20 hours week as IC. nm

Meant to say Sph and MQ for about $350 monthly
sorry about that
Yup, twice monthly on the 1st and 15th.

You should be able to see weekly and monthly
below the counts for the day. My understanding is that each day is reset at midnight (facility server's local time), each week on Saturday at midnight, and each month on the last day of the month at midnight (again, facility's local time zone).
So you can see the current day, but only summaries for the previous week and month, not individual previous days.
you are so right about the monthly cycles here...
it goes around and around. I personally experienced exactly what you said with both TT and Keystrokes. Yet when the dust settles...
I also agree with your thanks but no thanks. I work for the money, or I wouldn't. Just pay me and respect me...but don't schmooze me.
Really? Your STM should be holding these at least monthly
I would check with your STM to find out when he/she holds her team conference calls.
Not what I was told; 3500/wk part-time & 6000 wk/full-time. nm

I make around $4000 a month..but it's not worth it.
I work 2 jobs 7 days a week, sometimes up to 15 hours a day. Can you say burn out.. I knew you could.
Yes, they offer I think 4 weeks at full pay or 8 weeks at half pay. Call the office
and talk to them about it. You wont lose your job. They aren't like that.
Job offer that pays bi-monthly..sm
I am looking into a position that pays on the 15th & last day of the month. Has anyone had experience with this? I'm used to being paid every other week currently so I'm just wondering how this works out. Thanks!
What do you mean? Don't you have to submit a monthly schedule? sm
I have always had to submit a schedule and they expect you to adhere to it so I am not understanding what you are talking about. Please post reply. TIA
typo being your monthly salary
ROTFL
Anyone care to share how much their pay is monthly??
You too? I was always a 1800-2000 SM
line producer daily until I worked for them. 1200 and it was taking me 9-10 hours to get those 1200 lines. Something is wrong with their line counting.
I usually get 1800 to 2000
.
Gee, if you didn't do 1800, someone else could

I make $4000-5000 but NOT WORKING for a national
I just couldn't even make $1800/month working for a national because they kept running out of work, or had me tied to a computer for 7 days a week, or I was getting up at 4 a.m. just to try to get some work before running out. I certainly would never work for MQ because I would have made less than $1800/month, but that's just me. I now do it independently, and I'm not bragging, but most of my months vary in the $4000/range. A couple have been less, and the most has been $7000/month. JUST NOT FOR A NATIONAL. NO WAY, NO HOW!
$4000 a month for a national with a low line rate. nm

4000-5000+ lines per day of correcting awful VR? No thanks.

I use the Microsoft wireless 4000 comfort keyboard
and had no trouble switching to it from my split keyboard. It is curved, so has a similar feel. I love being wireless. I use it with my laptop and work on it all day. I think I've been working wireless for about 2 years now and couldn't go back. I work with my keyboard in my lap, so the wireless is great.
I forgot to mention, MDI will reimburse you a little bit monthly for LD.
I forget the amount, but ask about reimbursement for long distance charges. They also have accounts that are on waveplayer, so no long distance needed. Check on things.
I hope the typo is your monthly salary. nm

1800 lines a day is not much when making
That is exactly why I left Transcend. They try to make it look like people can make double what they did straight typing, but it's a crock. Lots of new people were hired at 10 cpl, but you don't earn 10 cpl for editing on BeyondTxt. Calculate what your earnings would be with the rate reduction at 2000 lines per day, which when I left was 55% of normal line rate with no incentive, and calculate what your earnings would be at 1700+ lines a day at 0.085 cpl, but don't forget the incentive rate, which at 1701 lines would have been 0.0075 cpl. Which way is actually making more money?
I've heard that the current rate for editing is 60%, maybe it's gone up. I don't know, but even at 70% a person making 1700 lpd straight typing would have to produce 2210 lpd editing just to break even, and it still wouldn't even be breaking even because the person is still losing the incentive bonus. Transcend's pay restructure benefits Transcend because they no longer have to pay as many people the higher wages they did with straight typing. It still amazes me that so many can't see that. Even if the BT program was the best thing since sliced bread, which it is NOT because there are so many problems with it, there is no way to make more money with editing unless the person is a low to mediocre producer. If you normally produce anything more than 1200+ lpd, Transcend really isn't the company to make money with because there are so many other companies out there that pay much higher. It all depends on what you're looking for.
What are they asking for, 1500/1800 lines a day, or more? nm
s
4000 lines a month of dollars? Either of which is not that great! So, what are you bragging about?
x
On Google Finance they had under 4000 in December..total employees
No, she said 1000 monthly - not weekly. Less than minimum wage! nm
x
1800 lines so far and have 3 more hours to go in my shift.
.
I know you need to type 1800 lines a day in order to get 11 cpl.
x
I can cut it, I do over 1800 lines in 7 hrs. I think I am the great employee. nm
.
Puleeze! I heard that monthly for 2 years. I will believe it when I can count lines on it. nm
:+
My weekly paycheck was $1800 before taxes - IC work. sm
It can be done with own accounts working no more than 8 hours a day!
I have been a MT for four years and I make $1800.00 per month. I am happy with my pay at this
stage
May I ask what account you are on and what work type you are doing to get 1800 in five hours?
NM
I average 1800-2000 lines a day on BeyondTXT.
nm
From a 5/06 post, 8 cpl up to 1800 lines a day!!! Then you'll get 8.5. Not for this turtle
s
Make sure you ask what the required lines per day is. Could be 1200-1800 or higher. nm
s
Who here is required to type 1800 lines on a daily basis for FT work?

I would definitely bring it to their
attention...I have had similar problems in the past, and I had to really stick to my guns and let the person know...Afterall, it goes through with our initials, employee ID or however your particular company does it...so ultimately, if the doc or whomever gets the report and thinks that it's wrong, your company is going to come back to you. That's what I worry about...although, I'm pretty sure (at least I hope) when it's QA'd, the QA persons initials or ID goes on their as well. Be we all makes mistakes, and even the QA person could be making a mistake and not really realizing it...so it may be helpful to them to get some feedback from us!
Why do you bring it up then?
