LeePerfect doesn't pay for spaces now?!
They better give you about a 30% raise in your line rate to account for that!
Paying for spaces?
Run from a company that does not pay for spaces. Your thumb gets a workout just like the rest of the fingers. My thumb is worth compensation! lol
At least they were upfront with u on not paying for spaces...
they told me mine included spaces and it doesn't!! RIDICULOUS!!
IF NOT PAYING FOR SPACES BEHIND YOUR BACK

Companies not paying for spaces
Hi everyone: I normally produce at least 1200 lines a day and working with a company that does not pay for spaces. Wow!!! what a diff. Very discourgaged at this point.
VBC is code for not paying for spaces
Don't be deceived. VBC (virtual black character) is simply a new way of saying - no pay for hitting the spacebar between words.
perhaps not paying for spaces does not start until your
MTSOs contract is renewed with that particular VA hospital.
But no longer paying for spaces IS a pay cut...?
If spaces previously being paid for are no longer being paid, that constitutes a pay cut; not in the sense of cents per line or cents per character, but nonetheless a cut in pay.
Your post totally confused me.
What company isn't paying spaces?
What Editscript company stopped paying for spaces? Confused?
I never understood how MTSOs came up with not paying for spaces. sm
You have to hit the spacebar just like anything else, and the document would be pretty darned hard to read without them. I refuse to work for cheaterhead companies like that. Thanks for passing along the information.
Not paying for spaces can be okay if the characters per line is shorter.
55 characters without spaces is roughly equivalent to 65 with spaces.
MEANT to type NOT paying for SPACES....TOO EARLY.NM
XXXXXXXXXXX
Old posts say improper line counting and not paying for spaces were SOME of the probs. nm

Leeperfect Co. SM
Does anyone know anything about Leeperfect Transcription Co - going to take a test with them and wondering if anyone has worked for them before? Would appreciate your input - thank you.
Does anyone know anything about LeePerfect MT or QA nm

Great company to work for.
LeePerfect
They used to be a good company to work for. They used to pay top rates. Recently I heard some MTs were asked to take pay cuts. Also the management has changed - same owner but everyone else jumped ship. They nag incessantly if work is late. You pay $10 per check ($240 a year) for benefit of direct deposit. My last 4 checks working for them were coming later and later. Last one was about 10 days late. I feel I got out at a good time. Be very careful.

I like it. Mainly clinic work. I believe you set your own schedule as long as you work when you say you will. Dictators vary, some are good, some are hard.
Yes, I'm sure it was LeePerfect. I worked for them sm
for several years, left and came back and now left again. I actually was going to work for a manager that went off on her own to form a company called Oxygen Transcription but it never took off from what I know. LM is very volatile and hard to deal with. I had so many pay problems that I was pulling my hair out. I liked my account, so it was hard to leave but I am a newly-single mom and had to get a steady paycheck. I have two friends there still. One has had problems, one has never, so I am not sure what is what with that, just that it happened to me.

This company is a great company to work for. Always pays ON TIME!!! Plenty of work and they will pay you what you are worth!! Fantastic QA team!!!

I believe so.

I've worked there for awhile now and the owner is very pleasant to work for and the QA team is very supportive. No, I am not in management. They pay you on time, every time. There is ALWAYS work. Just wanted to spread the word when there is a great company to work for because there are so many that ARE NOT!
Not affiliated at all with Key Strokes - different company all together - www.leeperfect.com - nm

would I work for LeePerfect or Karen Sorensen. nm

Which is great to work for LeePerfect or KeyStrokes? They are different, aren't they? nm

When I am renting, I am PAYING; when I'm working, THEY are paying ME. sm
Seems I should be running a credit check on the potential employer to see if THEY are responsible with their money, not the other way around.
I think most places pay for spaces. I work for TransTech and they pay for both spaces
as well as punctuation. I would never work for an MTSO that doesn't.
65 with spaces versus 65 without spaces; how to calculate?
Can someone tell me if you are getting 9 cents per 65-character line with spaces how much you would need to be paid per line to make the same amount per line if you are offered a ''65-character line without spaces?'' Thank you very much
So, if not spaces paid, what cpl would be comparable to at least 9 cpl w/spaces, do you know??
Thanks.
All compaines count lines different--with spaces, without spaces, headers or no headers, 65 characte
a line, 75 characters, etc. I would ask each of them how they count their lines. Sometimes the way lines are counted does not make a company worth working for.
54 without spaces = 65 with spaces if you do the math nm
nm
Yes they are only paying me 8 cpl. sm
They will pay an incentive but I am on too many accounts to get the line count I need to get that. All the patient censuses make for a lot of clerical work that I don't get paid for and I am so outta here as soon as I can get out!
If we don't know how they are paying us...
when we transcribe, how the heck will we found out how they pay us for ASR? Do you have a clue how they are paying you? Or will you be THE ONLY ONE asking. This is almost funny but not-when I got trained on DEP one girl had the courage to ask questions about how they would be paying us, why everyone is complaining that their line counts go down, etc. The trainer kept repeating "7000 MTs are using it and LOVING it". I wish I was 1 of them.
Still not paying?
My understanding from posts on this site is that only MTs on a certain account were out of work and not paid etc due to losing account? You mean MTs on remaining accounts are now quitting and not getting paid either? Is this the case? Wow.
She also tries to get out of paying you
when I called her on it she told me I was not mature enough to work for her! Whatever homer! If wanting to get paid makes me immature - sobeit!
they cannot get away with not paying OT
if they asked someone to work OT. Geez, c'mon sense. BTW, anyways is not a word.
not paying
Please tell your friend to get in touch with the attorney general's office/state where this MTSO is based, Better Business Bureau of her state and MTSO state and the labor board, and for her not to work any more for this person. Labor Board will tell her the same.
DIT is not paying
My last three paychecks have bounced. I have been given excuses and promises and nothing has been done yet. I do not work for fun. My family needs this money I make. After the third check bounced on Friday, I told them I would not type another case until I have a check that is not rubber. Anyone else having this problem?
DIT not paying
I don't know who DIT is, but I am having the same problem with NU Transcription in Maine. They have not paid me anything and I started working for them 10/31/2008!
DIT is not paying
Are you still typing cases for them? I did for a while because I was foolish enough to believe they were going to fix it. I've been with them for almost two years and enjoyed it a lot. Since that third check bounced, I just cannot work for free anymore.
Is it just for KS not paying for OT, or does it
include shorting on line counts?
Then I'd go with the better-paying job.
Are these companies that are paying less for
reports done by VR and paying 50% or so to the MT also reducing their charges to the hospitals by 50%? I don't think so. I think you all bought lemons and are trying to recoop your losses at our expense.
Me too. I'm still paying LD and they are hiring
What's up with that? 
The MT paying for it is not a bad idea.
Only the MTs who are really good and really competent would consider it worthwhile to pay to have the test on file. So it would weed out the MTs with skills that are not so good and the employers would not have so many to weed through.
I actually think it should include the whole kit and caboodle - test, resume, all pertinent information that ane employer would need to make a decision on whether to extend a job offer. That way the MT just does all that once (a year) and then can just sit back and see if they receive any offers.
I too think it would be a good idea to have the tests proctored. I hadn't thought of an MT having someone else take the test for them, but you have a point there.
I also think that an MT could list on their file that they will not consider offers from certain companies they do not wish to work for, or from offshore companies, or offers for under so many cpl, etc. I certainly wouldn't want to be bothered with a bunch of offers there is no way I'd even consider so best not to waste anyone's time on either side.
Ever think about paying incentive to
high producers who are accurate and send very little to QA? That would be a very fair way to handle that situation. It would probably cut down the need for part-timers (not completely, but some) and also reduce the cost of QA.
They have a history of not paying MTs sm
I would not recommend them to my worst enemy. Stay far away. Very unprofessional, late/bounced checks, excuses, excuses, excuses. Look elsewhere unless you like this kind of thing.
Obviously, you were not paying attention...
I corrected myself before you could. BUT, you're the type that likes to rub things in another one's face. I REST MY CASE LOL HAHA
Would you say that the company is paying
attention to what each Transcriptionist is typing, paying her according to what works out best for her, by the line or by the exam?
That would be a switch!
COMPANY NOT PAYING
I am posting as a follow up from earlier about PJ's transcription out of Iowa CIty, Iowa. I am one who never recieved pay for my work for her. My check was in the mail, then must of gotten lost according to the owner. Then I recieved a 1099 showing that I had recieved pay from her. After reporting to IRS and contacting her to have a new one by February 15, I did receive a corrected one today which is 2 days late, after recontacting IRS because she missed her deadline. However, it is funny that my pay got lost in the mail, but this did not, as I still have never seen money for my work. Oh well, at least she can not claim the money as a payout on her taxes!!!!!!!!!!
