I cannot believe anyone would make $1000.00 weekly after taxes.
That is very good pay
May I ask what account you are on and what work type you are doing to get 1800 in five hours?
NM
Who here is required to type 1800 lines on a daily basis for FT work?

Work is easy, very nice owner, pays weekly, work in Word.
They must deduct FEDERAL taxes.. NOT STATE taxes.. if they took out state taxes.. it would be FLORID
which would only have to be refunded to you for you to pay YOUR state what you owe them which is nothing but a pain... be glad they weren't handling your state tax.. and I think in this case.. if someone at the IRS told you they have to deduct YOUR states taxes.. it is that person who is uneducated... they only have to deduce federal income tax
Before someone hops on and say "why are you living paycheck to paycheck (inside)
I had a great saving account this time last year when the company I had been with 2 years took me off my primary (never would tell me why, just said me being shut out was a glitch in the hospital's system) floated me around (not telling me anything of course) because they were getting a Meditech account and wanted me on it (you wouldn't put someone not very experienced on it would you?). It did not take a rocket scientist to realize as soon as I got the C-phone what had happened. Also 80% ESLs. I spent the whole year supplementing my salary until it was gone and have been trying to find a decent company since. That is why I am living paycheck to paycheck and I hate it. I have 20 years in this business and it is getting worse. Speech is great but not for the money. It just does not justify being paid half. You cannot retrain doctors and I don't think management telling them they need to be considerate to us is going to work. Telling them we are making half just does not move them. They still rumble through files, change sentences, have long pauses we are not paid for, speech leaves out words or sentences so tell me why we are paid half? Also, I usually seach a company before I come on and ask for opinions, it saves a lot of space. I know I sound grouchy but I am tired and scared.
I work for a paycheck, not because I don't have
anything better to do. I went to work for a company that overhires when they get a new account because they figure some people may leave or they may fire some, etc. Anyway I tried to be patient and give it time for things to settle down, but was having to dip into savings every month to pay bills. I was willing to work, was available for my shift, was willing to adjust my schedule to some degree, was willing to work my days off, holidays, etc. and there was still no work.
If you have bills to pay, kids to feed, you need the lines. If they company requires you to work FT, you expect FT lines. The company requires you to commit to a schedule and I don't think it unreasonable to expect work during that time frame. You can't just rearrange your life around work availability. If you have kids you have responsibilities to them, people still have to eat, clothes have to be washed, doctor's appointments, etc.
This seems wacky to me. I work there. Every paycheck
has absolutely been on time. They're a very professional company. I've never seen anybody post something like this.
Work at Transcend if you want a very little paycheck.
I worked at Transcend for about 5 months. My main complaint is very low pay for VR work and complicated editing which was actually re-doing the whole report. Took just as long as actually transcribing it, but you got half the money. Oh yes, they are very clever in having MTs completely re-do the report and pay them only half. I could not pay my bills working at this company. I know people working at Wal-Mart who were making more money than I did. Anybody making $6 an hour was making more than what I got from this company.
Yes the people are just wonderful and very easy to work with, while you are starving and getting kicked out of your hourse because you cannot pay your bills.
Oh well, probably just a minor detail about no money here. LOL.
8 cpl for IC work? And I get to pay my own taxes too - sheesh nm
If you had to work 3 jobs to pay IC taxes, you were

I'm just SO tired of living from paycheck to paycheck, and always (nm)
.
Personally, I live paycheck to paycheck because...
I enjoy the constant worry about how to pay my bills and always getting to say I have some lines to make up so I won't be there. Social lives are overrated. I like getting up at 3:00 a.m. and jumping online so I can wrestle a few more jobs out of the system. I don't mind hearing that my supervisor is on vacation again because I know I will be able to use my PTO to make up for my downtime. It's kind of the same thing. I think Ramen noodles aren't just for college students, and one pair of jeans is all you really need for 3 years. I believe very strongly that all the recruiters and managers in the transcription business are taking wage cuts every year, too, so I don't want to feel like I am asking for more than my share.
Living paycheck to paycheck...it's my right darn it.
I work for a company in Florida too who gladly pays state taxes because
they know it is the law.
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
.
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
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
.
I have been a MT for four years and I make $1800.00 per month. I am happy with my pay at this
stage
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
Monthly, I bring in $3500-4000, about $1800 every 2 weeks.
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.
Make sure you ask what the required lines per day is. Could be 1200-1800 or higher. nm
s
1800 lines is easily achieved. I average 300-340 lines per hour. nm

Does anyone know of any companies that pay weekly? sm
I am in a bit of a financial jam and need a quick fix until I get paid on Nov. 27. Any ideas?
TIA
There are companies that pay weekly sm
EFD in Texas, New England Medical Transcription (NEMT) and a company called On-Call, although neither of these companies have had ads posted recently. Hope this helps.
Also, have you ever thought about working for a temp service. They usually pay weekly. I don't know where you are located and how many temporary services are in your area, but I think this would be worth a try, considering your circumstance.
Any companies that pay weekly?
Thanks for any information!
Any companies that pay weekly? nm

There are posts at least weekly, all bad. nm
OTI gives you a weekly quota. sm
You work when you want during the week. They ask you to commit to one weekend day.
Furthermore, I was on only one account, and worked that same account every day. The work was plentiful. Since I wasn't hopping around on various accounts, I customized everything and made a zillion macros. It was very good for money.
It was the best job I ever worked. I had to leave because I needed benefits.
950-1000 weekly?
So I am curious, what company do you work with to make 950-1000 a week? I will be a new MT at the end of May next year, and I would like to know. If you dont mind that is.

Ccompanies that pay weekly?
Can anyone give info on companies that pay weekly? Leaving mine and kind of used to that in the ole budget now;-) Just got a call from one company that paid well but MTs were paid from the 1-15th on the 30th - and certainly would not work here.
QED pays weekly nm
nm.
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.
IC Pay weekly or biweekly
Are there any companies out there that pay ICs weekly or biweekly. I just lost an account to EMR that paid weekly. I don't want to be paid twice a month. Thanks.
