but was anal retentive when it came to punctuation.  You would have a report with 10 blanks in it because of poor sound quality, and he wouldn't fill in one blank, but he had put commas all throughout your report, or taken apostrophes out, etc. and he wasn't correct in his punctuation a lot of the time.   Several of the MTs complained about him and asked to not have him do their QA, so he was demoted from QA to an MT.  Well, as I said earlier, he couldn't fill in a blank.  I saw a couple of his reports and there was blank after blank in reports that I had no trouble with at all.  He also didn't proof his reports because he would have inapproriate/incorrect expansions in them.  Not sure if he left on his own, or didn't really have a choice.  Anyway, talk to your supervisor.  Maybe this person is just on a power trip, knows you are new and wants to train you to do it her way, even if your way isn't incorrect.  I think punctuation is a valid issue, but if it doesn't change the integrity of the report and there are no other errors it shouldn't be flagged by QA.    You could also take into account her corrections and maybe try to use a few more commas, etc. and that might help.  

I get 9 cents a line and there's a tiered incentive plan.  It's something like 150-160 lph they add 0.5, 160-170 lph they add 0.75.  The top is 300 lph, where they add 2 cpl.  I've consistently earned the top incentive pay, making great money.

I was a little worried the work would get low when I saw all the ads lately, but maybe the ads are because they got new accounts.  It gets maybe a teensy bit light around the holidays (like 5 minutes without work).  I have tons of backup accounts and almost every day I have the opportunity for overtime.

I'm a FT employee with benefits.  I'd rather have someone else take care of finding accounts, setting up benefits, etc.  Couldn't be happier, really.

Years ago when I worked for an insurance claims adjuster we spent 6 of our 8 hours a day typing reports.  We loved it.  We called it putting our ears on and didn't have to worry abou the rest of it, and more importantly had an excuse to ignore the moody boss.

I personally have always just typed fast.  I've been clocked at 120 wpm.  I got faster sometime in 2006 when I started communicating on message boards on a regular basis.    

Some days, though, no matter what you do, your fingers will not cooperate.  And on the days the fingers cooperate, then the brain doesn't engage.  And on the days where both are working in harmony, then the keyboard doesn't work. 

It's a conspiracy. 

Looking for any information on PMT Kentucky. I am currently working for Spheris and need to make a change for the better. How is the work volume,supervisors, ESLs, etc.

Thanks

I think it's in Arizona, but anyway.  It's not a bad company to work for.  The only thing is you have to be on pager and give them a schedule yet you are an IC.  The pay is not too bad.  The work runs out and they put you on another account.  The platform is horrible and takes a lot of time to do demographics and such.  There is also patient lists that are pages and pages long. 

I can't really say anything negative other than they hire ICs, but you have to tell them when you'll be working.  They may be more flexible now, who knows.
