MQ has a 70% reduction in pay for ASR, what is the reduction rate for Webmedx? nm
Reduction in rate for ASR work. (sm)
I know Medquist does 20% reduction for ASR and I have heard some do 50%. I can't imagine doing this for 50% less on my line rate. There must be something more to this. Info?
At this point MQ only has 20% reduction in line rate for VR. (sm)
I know that could change, but it sure seems a lot better than so many companies who are offering half of the normal line count for VR.
There may be things I don't like about MQ, but this has to be considered a plus.
I understand DSG uses DQS, do they do ASR and what percent reduction in rate? nm
x
And the Webmedx pay cut is 37.5% reduction from base rate.
***** Your base transcription rate x 0.625.
Does FutureNet give annual raises or any type of raises? nm
nm
Wonder if those support in the office get any raises. We are paying their raises, huh?
you know they ARE getting raises!
Reduction
The line count on the new platform.
asr reduction for MQ is actually 30%
meaning you make 30% less.
ASR reduction @ WMX is 33% (sm)
For example, if you were making 7 cpl on standard transcription you will be paid 5.38 cpl for ASR.
And it's not 70-80% reduction - it is 30%. nm

I am seeing a reduction sm
in pay and also an increase in number of years experience these companies are asking for. I saw one company on another MT job listing site that wanted a minimum of 15 years experience! As far as supporting a family, it all depends on what your production is. For folks that can do 2000-2500 lines a day (depending on what they are making) it is still possible to support yourself. Because of this economy and folks not paying as much, it is going to take a lot more experience and ability to do ANY and all types of MT to keep your head above water.
For the MTs who are limited in types of MT they can do, it is going to be very hard to stay self-supporting. Unfortunately, just like the rest of the working world if you can get a job, you will have to accept concessions in this business just like everyone else has. It STINKS but it is a fact of life. If you want to continue to do MT, then it is the reality. Nobody is paying much anymore or even has jobs unless you want to change your profession, go into nursing etc or some other profession where the jobs are at!
A 33% reduction
to be exact, that is a heck of a reduction in your paycheck not to be considered technically a pay cut!
Just curious - what's the reduction in pay about?

Webmedx ASR - 80% reduction or what? TIA
.
for MQ STAT employees tier rate applies to ME rate as well and how calcluated?
for a STAT MQ employee: Does anyone know if the tier rate is going to be applied to the ME rate as well or are they going to go with the 80% of the MT rate for each tier level? If the tier rate doesn't apply as well to the ME rate then going by the 80% of the MT rate is less than if the tier rate would be applied. I'm sure that MQ is going to go by whatever keeps money in their pockets. Guess this is a question for the supervisor tomorrow.
Their line rate was less than my current nat'l rate, even with mucho experience. nm
no msg
VR rate is 1/2 rate of traditional typing,I believe it is 4 cents line.
I took that to mean you can get to that rate after 1600 lines and that is not the starting rate.
:
Webmedx ASR rate is 70% of your regular line rate. sm
So if you are on a 9 cpl account, you get 6.3 CPL plus any bonus / incentives / shift differential.
From the current editing rate not typing rate

raises
best way to get a raise with MQ is to ask for it and keep asking. I don't know why they don't give "across the board" raises. The thing I have heard in the past is type more to make more. I say learn every work type you can and make yourself indispensable!
raises with MQ
would you mind telling which office that is? used to be in Houston and it closed down and now in Dallas. you had to ask for a yearly review. they didn't volunteer that info unless you asked. first time when i asked for a yearly review they got around to it 6 months later. gave me all kinds of BS why I didn't qualify for a raise. i asked for a yearly review this year and i was told that i sent over 20% to QA. all i have to say is that you were extremely lucky. are you SE or FT?
Who says ICs can get raises. You obviously
work at a small company to brag like you do. I just hate it when someone like you comes here and tells people that they can earn like you do only it takes a while. Well guess what I am not new to this. However, I don't have stable accounts. I did have but the company puts whomever they want on them and dole the work out. You can't get ahead. I was doing fine finally until they put another greedy MT on that account and now my good account and the one I depended upon for most of my earnings is now hardly anything. I resent this. Accounts are not yours. They belong to the company. Yet, you say you have stable accounts? My God. You are unreal.
Go peddle your lies to someone else.
raises
I don't think any of us TT employees want to say what we make. Every account is different. It really is nobody else's business what each of us makes. TT is very fair and we do get rewarded for good work. Didn't you used to work for us at one point, Olive Oyl? If you did, then you should already know that we are the best in the industry.
raises
You should probably ask Transtech this question directly, Olive Oyl. The reason the rest of us don't tell you what we make is because it is confidential to each of us. It really doesn't matter to me what anyone else makes, because I'm very happy here. Transtech is about SO much more than cpl. I don't think you're going to get the answers you want from any of us TT employees, which is why I suggest you make a list of all your questions and ask Transtech yourself. :)
COL raises
What companies have you or do you currently work for? Every company I talked to that does pay wages said there would be no raise in the future. If you want to email me . . . . . . I honestly don't want to fritter away my time and energy. I have worked very hard to get to where I am (as you know this is not an easy job to do) and am proud of the work I produce but I will not work for a few pennies. Perhaps I am wanting what will never happen.
Raises?
How are they with giving raises, is there any set protocol, or like MQ whenever they felt like it (never)?
WHO gives raises?? ;)
I've never heard of an MT company giving raises. Please advise if I'm wrong. Whenever I wanted a raise (at any company over the last 18 years) I worked more. My arms and hands are now shot, so I have to make do with what I have, no matter how big the incoming bills are.
LOL! Just had to comment. It was a funny question to me. :)
Raises
I'm lucky enough to be an employee of a small local company and I get yearly raises. Good luck with yours.
Raises
Is a year too soon to ask for a raise or should the company offer one automatically? I just do not want to ask but I am afraid if I don't, I will never get one. Any thoughts?
Ain't no raises in the MT biz..........
*
Yes there are raises...
I would say after 1 year, if you have a good track record, is fine to ask for one.
Where R Our Raises?
While the town meeting was informative, where was the mention of raises? Cost of living? Anything?
What, are we getting raises?
wasn't up on the home page yet when I last checked and I had to work my other job when it was going on.
No raises, what to do?
You have the choice of 2 things, a) type faster and b) work more hours. If you asked for a raise just after 2 years, do you have any idea how long most have worked in this profession without having a raise at all?
No raises here.
I haven't had a raise since 1997 when I was raised to 10 cpl. Really. Yes, I still am an MT, 25 yrs. Crazy?
The last year or 2 has been the worst with the economy and my single policy health insurance premium going up to almost $500 a month.
It's all wrong, and something is not right in this industry for this to have happened. Like others, when I started in mid 80s, it was decent and then good money.
No raises/VR
Spheris never gives raises plus all accounts are eventually going to be VR. Plus they send a lot of work to India. The only good thing is PTO. I like my supe but now there is almost no communication.
TT raises
Does anybody give raises? I haven't had a raise in my line rate in over 10 years. My income has actually gone down, and I believe that is probably true no matter what company you work for in this business now.
I do get my lines at TT no problem, and as far as the VR, works out fine for me.
Reviews, raises???.....
What part of that was unclear. Anyone can check production - you won't get a review after 6, 10 or 20 years much less right after your probation. If you aren't producing to suit them - you are gone, unless of course you are a pet and then you can do whatever you want..
Do they give raises?
OSI holiday pay and raises
I predict that the holiday bonus will last through Thanksgiving and Christmas, and then disapear like the work does overseas. No way are they gonna pay that ALL year....no way are they gonna pay raises either, cause no one will stay long enough to earn one!
Anyone getting raises with this information
I see a lot of information posted about benefits, hours, 401 K, PTO, bonuses, etc., but I am wondering did anyone get a raise that was posted in their packet?
If so, are you happy with it?
yes, I did. raises have never made me
unhappy!
Do they give raises?
nm
MDI-FL does not give any raises.
Platforms stink. Bad accounts. Nasty people to deal with. Very disorganized, poor training, a regular witch in the HR/payroll department who takes pride in being condescending and mean. Flexible? Depends whether you are teacher's pet or not. If not, you get the worst accounts they have. Forget communication. There is none, but never ask a question because you will get a wrong answer and still be in the dog house. They really need some lessons on how to treat people like people, not like you are a robot and want to work 24/7.
MTs don't get raises b/c you want to work for
If you want raises, go back to wage pay. But then, you'll gripe about it, too.
there are no raises in production, you
negotiate your rate on the way in and that is it. Need more money? do more work.
your way of thinking is hourly employee. That will hurt you. You are now a professional - big difference.
we are reviewed and do get raises. (nm)
x
Do they ever give raises? nm
z
Yes they give raises; for example,
I received a nice raise after 30 days, and the starting cpl was already 9 cpl. Very generous to work for and you are treated respectfully, even if QA gives you constructive criticism. They are never demeaning or reprimanding, and believe me I have worked where QA people could care less how they make you feel. No so with MDI. I am here for life!
