New pay structure (sm)
Posted By: 3rd World wages on 2006-03-13
In Reply to: Do you mean QA or VR and what - is the pay? is it so bad?
It only involves the editing/reviewing staff on the Merit side. Yes, it is bad! $8 an hour with incentive of less than 2 cents per line. Like I said earlier, the US employees are getting the same pay as the India staff. Our hourly rate was nearly cut in half.

My SE pay structure currently
I work for the Baltimore office of MQ. I am an SE with MQ since 1998. When moving to DQS, I received info on the "DEP Pay Structure"
The required minimum through the Baltimore office as of today is 4,000 lines per pay period. Never heard the 6,000 number, maybe that is different office (which seems crazy, but nothing surprises me!).
There is a shift differential for MTs who consistently maintain production in excess of the MQ required minimum (4,000 lines per pay period) and who transcribe the majority (i.e., 50% or more) of their total production during the weekday hours. I won't go into these details, but all of this info I am paraphrasing directly from an email from my supervisor regarding the DEP Pay Structure - again, for the Baltimore office.
There are also small differentials for holidays and weekends, but there is a minimum required for that also.
Then, for this office at least, there are incentive tiers. to qualify at all, MT must transcribe at least 14,000 lines in a pay period.
The tier offers an extra 0.0005, 0.010, and 0.015 for each level of the tier, with (for example) the 0.015 being for 23,001 lines or more per pay period.
Don't know if this info has already appeared, so sorry if it is repeat. It may conflict with other offices, dunno, but this is how I am paid as an SE at this point.
No structure/system at MDI-MD...sm
I feel like they have too many MTs typing amuck anywhere and everywhere whenever they want 24/7 causing everyone to have to work 24 hours a day to get their lines in. I have been chained to this computer for over 5 months now.
sentence structure? perhaps

New MedWare pay structure for editors
MedWare changed the pay structure for editors about a month ago. We knew the new structure with the per hourly rate (single digit) plus incentive (under 2 cents per line) was insulting low. Then a message went out this morning from the Director of Transcription with the Editor payroll summation attached, and we find out that they changed our pay to exactly what they are paying the offshore editors.
I am sure this is great pay for the offshore editors, but really leaves a bad taste in my mouth knowing that I am paid the same wage when I have to review their work 100%. Of course, they are probably making more with the incentive then I am because I have to take the time to clean up their shabby work and make the chart ready for the client.
Of course TransTech pays for spaces and they have a easy to get bonus structure.
I make as much as I did at the hospital, because of the bonus structure, retroactive to line 1. They pay for spaces and expanders, and they have ops normals too. Just wanted to put an FYI so people think TT does not pay for spaces, of course they do. You can make a lot per line with the structure and also differential and bonuses almost every weekend at TT.
I agree. You still have to know punctuation, proper English, tenses, sentence structure, etc. Show
