Not even with incentives are you making .12 a line

It is impossible to make .16 a line at Transcend. Typing more than the max incentive of 23,000 lines per pay period will only add 1.5 cents per line.

how does line incentives work?
If your company says they will pay .01 over 2000 lines daily, does that mean if you type 2100 lines you get the extra .01 for ALL lines or just the 100 you went over?
Seemed really low to me, on the incentives. Maybe 1 cent per line for a lot of lines.

Line requirements, production incentives
Spheris line rates & incentives
Some employees at Spheris are now being told that production and QA incentives will be eliminated. The line rate is variable, but in general, the very least you will accept. This used to be a wonderful company. Very little concern now for either employees, quality of work, or serving best interests of clients. Many are leaving.
Bummed!!! Apparently the MDI-FL side doesnt get incentives. It seems like the benefits/incentives
would apply to everyone. Oh well, wouldnt be the first time. 
Then company should set line count per day with incentives for above that. If get line count done
:[
Incentives? What incentives? Lucky I can get the minimum lines.

You are making more than me per line
so you should be racking up.
I think you said you are making 10.5 cents/line, but you still have - sm
taxes taken out of your pay, approximately 30%, right? I realize you have other benefits, like paid vacation and health benefits, but you are still having taxes taken out.
There is just NO WAY you are making .16 per line working for
Transcend. Why don't you save that story for someone who doesn't know better.
so, this is mostly about you not making your line count.
zzzz
Yes -- it's been low for me as well. I'm not making the line count
I would like to have and I have at times had to beg for work on other accounts (besides the 5 I have now)but I am making at least the minimum line count.
Regarding just one MT to another's post. How many MTs do you think can afford to just apply and find out??
making line count with TransTech?sm
I notice they require 11,000 minimum..that's about double what I normally do. Is it easy enough to get to that minimum in 60 days' time?
Making a decent line count
I agree it is possible to make a decent living at Transcend. I seem to get a ratio of 70% VR and 30% straight typing. I'm not sure how this is determined, but that is how it always turns out at the end of each pay. Yes the key to making money on the VR is using the hot keys. If you are motivated, goal oriented and have a good work ethic you will be fine at Transcend. They are great with letting you flex your hours and also offer to give 1 on 1 training for VR if you ask for it.
So you'd be making 6 cents a line with no benefits and....sm
have to adhere to a schedule too? No way!
does anyone else have trouble making the line count at Transolutions?
I just started not too long ago but I'm struggling .. it just seems hard to get.
Making 3 cents a line and loving every minute of it - LOL

I am on my "final warning" for not making line requirement.
if my line requirement is not met.
Ok - here ya go. I went from making $1800 per pay period to making just under $900.
Is that significant enough for you? Believe us, we are not just being negative with a grudge or anything like that. This is real! A month later, I was gone from there fast!
ARE THEIR INCENTIVES
IF SO, WHAT ARE THE RATES?
What about incentives? Are there any at all? nm

How is pay at KS? Incentives? nm

Incentives - who has them?
I've read a couple of posts where MTs mention incentives, goals, bonuses and I'm interested in finding out which companies actually reward or motivate MTs to do more than just the minimum required, aside from just getting more lines. Thanks!
TT incentives
Does anybody know how TTs incentive tiers work? I know that if you type 13,000 lines, you get 0.25 cents more for the entire 13,000, and if you do 20,000 lines, you get a penny more, but what are the in between amounts?
incentives
I have seen accounts that run incentives based on minutes of dictation, but they also do it on number of reports done or lines typed. Just depends on the account I guess.
Don't be afraid to ask for a backup account, by the way. Some accounts have lots of work.
incentives
AND if you maintain under 10% QA another 0.25 cpl back to the first line!!!! They also have a great benefits package.
Pay better than most, no incentives, but
lots of OT available, 6 pd vacation days, a week PTO, get paid for down time, though there hasn't been any of that lately thankfully. They provide all equip/software. $500 sign-on bonus, $500 every year on anniversary. QA fairly strict, minimum score 98.5.
10cpl plus incentives
I have 13 yrs exp and with MQ I am getting 10cpl plus incentives but before my office closed, raises were given out all the time, all you had to do was asked. We were never given a yearly review, I learned that by calling every year, that was the way that I got a raise.-HMMM-maybe that is why my office was one of the ones to close
FOCUS INCENTIVES
Just found out after much prodding and after seeing a recruitment ad for Focus that they have put an incentive plan in effect for some employees and not others. Just wanted to make sure everyone was aware.
Focus incentives
Well, a while back I saw an ad from Focus trying to hire new MTs. It stated there were incentives being offered. I have worked for Focus for 9 months, no incentives, work weekends, eves, and holidays, too. Emailed office and asked. Was told they were discussing this. Kept prodding and emailing and find out tonight via email the MTs working on Netcare only will get incentives. Not sure what they will be or even have been.
MQ incentives/bonus SM
I was told the following:
$1,000 bonus after three months....have to meet standards (full time, 12,000 lines per pay).
$1,000 after three more months, same as above
Lines are 65 characters including spaces
14-18,000 lines in two weeks = .5 cpl bonus
18,001 -20,000 lines in two weeks = 1 cpl bonus
23,000+ lines in two weeks = 1.5 cpl bonus
Also...after 15,000 lines I get .5 cpl retroactively added to my original line count pay of 8 cpl.
Also...$50 bonus for anything over 20,000 lines
Let's hope this is all true...I'm not quitting my other job yet for them due to all of the bad press, I'll work two, the money will be nice for X-mas.
Spheris incentives?
Does anyone know if Spheris offers any incentives/bonuses? Do they pay for spaces, headers and footers? What is their base line rate range?
TIA!!
MDI incentives/holidays
Unfortunately there is no holiday pay/weekend pay. There are sometimes incentives offered when accounts get behind.
Incentives? Anyone who works there getting them?
I just read the ad and saw that they offer production-based incentives? I've worked there for a little while, and I have yet to hear anything about this. Does anyone get them? If so, what are they?
Incentives Which Companies Offer Them?
and which companies used to offer them but are changing their policy now? 
Maybe since work is low they should offer some incentives..sm
Maybe offer more on their line rate. Maybe that would keep people around since nobody can get their line counts in. I am barely making it. My house payment is 2 behind, my bills are behind....Just because I am TRYING to have faith in them and hope things will turn around. I like the company and 95% of the people, but it is really getting hard - too hard to live with these little paydays. I just hope something turns around fast. Maybe the ones that really don't have faith in them will leave and there will be more work for the ones that have the faith.
I am getting frustrated but I am hanging in there....
spheris incentives and bonuses.....
When I worked there, they did not offer actual monetary bonuses or incentives. I did get a drop in pay from $12.50 an hour to $10.50 an hour and never understood that one, especially being a four-star quality employee. BUT...when I worked there, they did, especially around Christmas and New Year's, offer such things as Home Depot cards, etc. It was almost like having your name drawn out of a hat or playing the lottery. If you were online when they were ready to pick a winner, you just might win that card. I won many, many times..very easy (and fun). They used to pay for spaces, but I don't remember them paying for headers and footers. Base pay was not that great and never a raise. I got the raise when they were Edix, but they dropped me back when it became Spheris. Hope that helps.
Is it legal if there are production incentives?
nm
They will go a bit higher than that for second or third shift. That, along with the incentives,
makes it a pretty darn competitive line rate when you also take into account the rich benefits package. JMHO.
Answer about TransTech incentives
No if you are scheduled work on Saturday or Sunday you get extra added to your line rate all the way back to line 1. Same goes if you are scheduled to work evening or night shift.
More money/production incentives only.
They are extremely flexible with my schedule and everyone is very nice. They were also very understanding when we had personal issues this summer. I also think their insurance is pretty reasonable.
I pass along pay I'm offered when it is higher to encourage them to pay more.
$30/hr probably hard to achieve despite incentives. NM

4.5 with shift & weekend incentives

HOW IS IT YOU RATE BONUS INCENTIVES = SM
while everyone else is struggling - or are only a select few getting offered bonuses? Rest of us are asked to Pleeze help before the account goes out of TAT. Lot of MTs out on PTO. Some of us would like to get in on that PTO (lots are ineligible) as well as the bonuses.
Not true. Bonuses and incentives do exist
and are paid out on time as earned. Have never had any mess-up on my per check incentives nor my quarterly bonuses.
Would you choose $15 with no incentives over straight production??
I have an offer to go shift lead at $15 an hour or another company is offering me 0.9 a line with production incentives on a fairly easy clinical specialty account with what looks like a lot of normals. Would most of you go for the certain money or take the production in hopes that you can work up speed and eventually make more? Not sure what to do here. Thanks 
4 cpl editing/8 cpl transcribing + incentives (New Plan). nm

Does Keystrokes offer production incentives or...sm
maybe cost of living raises or performance raises or ANYTHING like that, so a person knows there is a chance for income advancement over time? TIA! 
"receive all of my bonuses and incentives, which are plenty by the way"
Thank you.
Does Keystrokes offer holiday pay/incentives?
I'm an in-house hospital/Radiology MT who is considering working at home full time; just exploring my options.
TIA!
and good tech support and incentives
