My company pays downtime if

In Reply to: Do any companies guarantee lines? - searchingMT
there is no work within your scheduled work time. You don't have to make it up if there is work later either. They don't guarantee lines though and the amount they pay is less than most MTs would make by transcribing, but it is money coming in. We went several months where some accounts were running out of work daily, now lots of accounts on OT until further notice.

I would not go with a company that pays so low
and lies about stuff
Almost every company pays more
Just pick any other company and apply.
My company pays more
For acute care. Where I work, ops pay 2 cpl more than clinic notes. The breadth of knowledge required to transcribe op notes across multiple specialties is significant. Obviously it can be learned, but takes time to get proficient at ops.
I would go 110% with the company that pays more...sm
Some will argue, but a good MT shouldn't have a hard time finding a job. I didn't. They are posted everywhere. Go where the money is! I was in the same situation. Going from platform to platform, account to account, slows you down more than you know. Hop on one train and ride it!
anyone know company who pays weekly?
Are there companies that pay weekly? Curious.
As an SE the company pays your taxes, but
you have the flexibility with your schedule as an IC. I have always been an employee so I'm not up on all this, just what I was told at one time, though that was a couple of years ago and rules/regs may have changed. Don't know how SE would affect you being able to claim business expenses, if at all.
The company I work for pays
for radiology by the line .. .08-.09 depending on your assignment .. our radiology MTs do very well. The radiology work is MRI, DEXA, PET, ULS, and special studies. Experience in doing more than plain films is essential. The work is Monday through Friday as these are all outpatient centers.
The company I work for only pays
or anything else. They say we will go more than twice as much and make big, big bucks. Do you believe that? I don't. 4 CPL!!! And I bet you can figure out which company on your own.
What company pays per report for QA?
That is low pay for VR. The company I work for pays almost
twice that. I hate VR. I don't have to do it where I work.
I know a company that pays for 5 if you're off.

My company pays $15 to $18 per hour for QA but
I was offered a QA position and even at the highest hourly amount, I make at least $3 more transcribing.
Depending on how much discipline I have on any particular day, I make anywhere from $20 to $35 an hour but never any less than $20 an hour on production. Other than my hands killing me periodically, I would much rather transcribe!!
This company pays weekly...nm

My company pays very weakly! LOL
IC pays ENTIRE tax to IRS, company does NOT pitch in.
This is a BIG boon for the companies as they try to pay ICs the same (or lower) rate than employees. At the end of the year, you will find yourself owing Uncle Warhead a really big chunk of money - and deductions? Forget it unless you can come up with more than $5,000 worth, which you may be able to do if you are buying a home - be real careful if you are renting. I don't care what anyone tells you. Talk to a tax professional before considering going IC.
what company pays 17 dollars an hour?
JLG pays 21 dollars an hour, that is a fact.
Anyone know what a company called Synernet pays? nm

What company pays 18 cpl? I'm familiar with most of the places out there and 18 cpl is unheard o

I work IC for a company who pays by check in mail
Never had a bounced check either. I can see why you would worry though. Maybe they will do the switch eventually.
Anyone know if Accustat is a good company and pays on time?
Curious
Good company. Pays higher than many. Very high
Pay is always on time (early if payday is on a holiday). Good transcription software. Approachable, friendly management. Benefits okay. (Blue Cross). Also eye & dental. 401K that they also contribute to. Pretty much straight typing, not much in the way of templates. VR in place on some accounts. Currently MT has the choice of using it or not. All in all, I'm satisfied with working there.
I work for a company in Florida too who gladly pays state taxes because
they know it is the law.
Does anyone know if Precyse Solutions is a good company that pays on time and has plenty
of work?
Downtime? What's that?
Downtime
They pay $12/hr downtime, includes system/platform problems (on their end) and periods of no work. It does not cover things on the MT end, including electric failure and internet failure.
Downtime
Can anyone name a few companies that pay downtime?
downtime
Because I hired on as a FT employee and constantly running out of work which is out of my control - I have to sit here and wait while I pay daycare and not make any money - I need 40 hours a week to live - I wasn't looking for parttime work. I think all companies should pay downtime when it their fault we have no work
Some do pay downtime, not all like MQ.

Downtime
Thanks, and I will check on that this morning. I will come back and post what I'm told. When I was hired and also during training, they went over the procedures for downtime pay, both no-work and technical. I'll definitely put it on here, though, for confirmation. Thanks, Dolfan!
Don't lie about it. They don't pay for downtime.

Downtime (sm)
If you're out of work, you are paid downtime, but you have to keep checking back every 10-15 minutes.
Answering of questions isn't as bad as other poster said. First couple weeks it is great, though, when you really need it.
They were up front with me about no shift differential before I took the position and pay, etc.
Yes, there is a lot of preemployment stuff, but it is the hospital requirement and not DR.
If you live in the tricounty area (Dade, Broward, Palm Beach) the health insurance is very good, so the preemployment is kind of worth it if you need insurance.
Regarding samples. I'm not even sure if the other poster was on this account because with the software, you have access to all reports dictated and transcribed by all physicians or any reports typed on the patient you are transcribing. So no samples are really necessary.
Definitely shift intensive. But every job has it's drawbacks. It's all about a good fit. Maybe DR isn't for you, but I just wanted to correct a few incorrect statements by the other poster.
downtime
Does KS have a lot of downtime? Do they pay you for it?
they don't pay for anything, no downtime..sm
no holidays, NO overtime...8 cpl that is it, nada, nothing more. Owners are making a killing tho....
And they don't pay 1 penny of downtime
when the system is down for hours at a time.
I hear they pay for downtime; don't know much else
Never worked there, and of course I would defer to people who have!
So when you say paid for downtime...
do you mean that they actually pay you if no work available, not just for equipment failure on their part?
If compensated for times of no work on your schedule (at what rate? minumum wage or other?), some of the folks on the MQ Board need to hear this, I think.
What companies pay for downtime? sm
As in, you are an employee (not IC) and you run out of work.
Transolutions Downtime
This is true. They pay both technical and no-work downtime. I was hired a month ago (WONDERFUL company) and have it right here in front of me in the employee handbook. So long as you are a full-time employee, report your downtime to the appropriate person, and haven't refuse work on another account that does have work, you will be paid for downtime. If they have no work on another account for you, you are paid downtime. Have a great day!
Any companies that currently pay downtime?

Downtime? hahaha
There has been no mention of that and I'm sure it wont happen.
When the system is fixed, the most we'll get is double the amount of emails telling us how much work there is and how we all need to give us food/sleep/bathroom time to get it caught up.
Yes, I get paid DOWNTIME when
there is no work around and I also get PTO, paid VISION, very good health insurance with company paying 80%, dental for less than 15 per pay period and a great atmosphere. Yes, I do have to produce 12000 per pay period.
How does TransTech pay out PTO, and do they pay downtime?nm

Paid for downtime...
Paid for downtime with Transcend? We don't. We get told to flex out time out.
Companies that pay downtime
I've seen on the boards that the famous Axolotl pays for downtime when there is no work available. Are there any other companies that do this? Thx.
DOWNTIME NOT ALLOWED
I did not get downtime even with a ticket# and having to wait 2 days for another computer. All I got was a BS stating reasons not to give me downtime and that I could take PTO or not get paid for those 2 days.
Thank God I have next week off. I don't think I can stand much more of this BS.
Holidays - Is there any company who pays holidays?
Are there companies (like in the old days) who pay you for Christmas, NY, Thanksgiving, etc., MAJOR HOLIDAYS?
0 in last month, maybe 3 hr in last year downtime.

Can you help with a list of companies that do pay downtime?
