They are not MT, but general transcription. Pay not very high. at least not as high as MT work.x

weird pay scale, hard to make lines, can't
make money, currently training women in Trinidad to do our job.
I always have been there several years and it wasnt always so bad but now with no work half the time
communication I am no longer happy there and moving on.
Are some of their production bonuses tied to the amount of work to QA. I wasnt sure about that. I
think that must be a different bonus.
I don't know the breakdown, but I am high level 4 and make 9 cpl. SM
My account is 70 to 90 percent ESL.
They are okay to work for, but do not expect a big incentive. Their scale is about average.
The biggest issue right now is trying to get e-mails answered on a regular basis. You better like to work alone without much feedback or interaction because that is how it will be.
I'm high level 4, all acute care, high ESL, many years exp. and highest QA grades...
In case you are wondering...All acute care, all specialties. I request new accounts, and yet they all run out of work...not just during usual slow periods...
I'm original poster and a high level 4 as well with high ESL accts, which I've always had...sm
My accts (10+) for the previous 12 years were all in the LA area. I consider ESL at Webmedx easy, even though my WebmedX accts are supposed to be high ESL. ALL of my STMs accounts are low on work--quite low. I've added more accounts. Not helpful if all are low in work. My supervisor at MQ was more helpful than my Webmedx STM.
once in a while when work volume is very high.nm

I work on one that does not need high speed but have been told sm
that there are very few like that.
Get off your high horse and go work your management job...sm
This is a board for opinions, isn't it? So don't tell me to get my facts straight.
I make 4 cents a line, work part and make
over $500 a week on part.
wasnt set up to own mq
Cbay was a service for a long time in the US and then they started Indian operations.
As to the original poster, here's my experience:
Pay is average on par with everyone else. You get a schedule and are expected to stick to it. They WILL ask you where you are if you do not. Pay day has always been accurate and on time.
There are different programs to work on but the few I've worked on seem to be quick to learn.
I would recommend them if someone asked me.
DRC if you're capable of high quality work.
DRC (Digital Records Corp.) is a top-of-the line company to work for, if you are capable of doing top-of-the-line work.
wasnt this Lee's sister in law?

Need detailed info on DSG. It is stable work for a high producer? nm
nm
Are you talking about DSG or intouchMI. Sorry. Wasnt sure. nm
:
P.S. I just wasnt sure whether it was best to put an ad on here on job seeker or apply to the
companies that are hiring instead.
I know your post wasnt directed at me
But I believe what you said you made. I also caught on very quick to MT, had a great account to learn on my first few years and pretty much went like gangbusters. I actually make less money now than I did then, simply because I seem to get lazier each year. LOL
If you type reasonably fast, have a decent account and actually work your set hours (unlike me), it's easy to make a good living. Of course, it's hard for all of these things to line up but when it does, it's a beautiful thing.

wasnt just "complaining", just stating a fact.

Their new pay plan brought me back to newbie wages since I don't do high volume. And the work loa

Wasnt expecting anything but got a nice box of chocolates and a card
I shared my chocolates with neighbors because Lordy, Lord, I do not need to be looking at a nice box of chocolates all day, because I wouldnt be looking at it all day - know what I mean? :}
I make more than that with Spheris but never have work. I would rather make $1.25 and have work. s
My SIL works for KS, and she gets paid double for linked reports too. Where do you get $2.25? I am ready to leave Spheris.
Wasnt that software awful. Quit after one day. Too many programs to open before you could even do
a single report..What a waste of time.. too bad though. They seemed to be a really nice company to work for, but there was no way I was taking half the day to do two reports. NO WAY>>>
Wasnt Bonnie with Medware, then StatIQ or something and now Transolutions?? Kinda makes you worry
when a recruiter keeps changing jobs too.. Maybe, it's because she is unsure of whether her companies do or DONT offshore... Hmmmmm...(scratching my head) Could just be the sad state of affairs in that before you know it, even the most solid people become job hoppers. I had ONE job for 10 years and all I have done since I started doing this at-home stuff is job hop. Very discouraging.
Webmedx - low work ? Can you make up lines when work available (sm)
or do you have to schedule a make up time or just do without the lines?
if you CAN make it work - take all you can. I have 3!! go for it.
xx
You will work like a dog at 4 cpl and not make much.
I suspect they do not pay for footers, headers, spaces, etc. I used to work there and it would like me 12 hours just to make $100 and I think I am fairly fast. Someone wrong with that picture.
Make sure they have enough work
I worked for them maybe 6-7 years ago and they didn't have enough work, we were running out every day. They only had one major hospital account, the rest clinics. It was a long time ago, things may have changed. Be sure to check that out!
Nothing there to make you sad ...Still one of the best you could work for. SM
Why bring this thread up to the top after all this time?
The OP said she was low on work on one particular account. She asked if anyone else had experienced this. I responded I had been low on work on that particular account as well. The original thread really ended with OP saying thanks, she just didn't want to think she was the only one experiencing the shortfall. So now she does not have to feel that she was singled out to receive less work. I don't think that was ever the case, it never has felt that way to me. And the fact is that there has been more than enough work available on that particular account for this entire past week.
Neither the OP, (Anon) or the respondent, (myself - Wise) wrote anything in any way negative. Certainly NOTHING was said about any particular person, including about any particular recruiter. It was strictly a question about work flow.
Why people have posted emotions, such as stunned, or saddened, about a very routine question, is beyond me. If we worked in office, we would certainly ask our coworker about everyday matters such as this one. While a short period of low work load can be frightening and frustrating, knowing that I'm not the only one reassures me that I'm not being singled out.
Just as the recruiter writes in the latest ad on the other site, DRC is the best MT job I have ever had, and I am glad to tell my MT friends about them.
These knee-jerk reaction posts insinuating that something else was written really serve no purpose except to inflame.
I can see that it will be better for me to confine my answers to individual e-mails from now on for anything but the What's for dinner? questions.

As an IC I make .09 and work
freely on my own. I REALLY do love working for them! They are very flexible. I have had a good experience with them!
Do you get enough work to at least make
.
I only make about 20K but then I only work
They can't make you do it. They can tell you when the work is there,
as someone else said, if you can't or don't want to work at the times they have work available, they'll find someone else who can. The client IS allowed to specify what they want/need, there is no set rule about that, but they can't MAKE you do anything. They can stop offering work if you aren't meeting their needs, but unless they pay your taxes, they can't set your hours for you.
The painter analogy is good one because if you hired a painter, you can tell them you don't want them there in the middle of the night, what painting you need done, what kind of paint you'd like, etc. A good IC painter is going to do their best to provide those things to please their client and obtain more work or referrals, but they certainly don't HAVE to do so. They could still show up to paint in the middle of the night while your family is sleeping and use lead-based paint, but would you keep that painter on or find a new painter who can work during the day and uses the paint you prefer?
I'd make sure which one has enough work.
With Transcend, too much instability. If you want to find yourself jumping from account to account when one runs out, then you'd do fine. Personally, it is too frustrating to me to constantly have to jump around. It hasn't always been this way so I suspect either overhire or sending more work to India than they already do.
You'd better make sure you work your
I take it these are employee positions.... No IC should be working a set shift; if you are, you are really in a desparate situation. LOL - too funny how MTs will stoop to scramble to test and await a response from someone who obviously cannot even post a job correctly. Just my 2 cents. This Debbie Hicks lady needs to get over herself in a big way. The ones who got the job ; check back and let us know how it goes - 
Isn't asking you to make up work..
.. that wasn't available during your schedule like asking an employee to sit on the office with no pay for their work schedule, but please come back at midnight to see if we have work for you? Um, how is THAT legal?
ever wish you could work at Walmart or somewhere and make enough??
There are days when I shake my head and wonder what the he** was I thinking 20 years ago when I decided this is the life for me. NOW I am stuck to the money like glue and nothing pays like this ... so I'm damned if I do ... damned if I don't.
We were shopping the other day and I thought Ahhhh bliss. To take a job at Pier One or Starbucks and SURVIVE ON THE MONEY!!
stupid industry. Thanks for sucking the joy out of what USED to be a decent job. pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffft
you don't make errors doing MT work with
i cannot believe that
If you do work graveyard, they make sure there is not
enough work to make your line count, so why work those hours?
I could work 24/7 and not make a dent, though
it does tend to be slow around the holidays. The dictation is lower, but you would think that there would also be several people taking time off too and that it would balance out.
I do not think they overhire. Instead, they make sure that we have enough work. sm
I don't Meditech. I like it actually. It really is just straight typing!
I can understand that if the work is low. While you need to make
up lines, it isn't fair to others to not have work on their shift either. Depending on the workload for my accounts the work is only low about 1/2 day on Mondays and then there is lots to go around, which is when I try to make my up lines.
so you work 2 jobs to make that much
x
Me too. You work, you make money. SM
You work well, you make more money. You work smart, you make more money. You work long, you make more money. You work hard, you make more money. The key word all else depends on isn't zone, it's work.
You are an IC - they can't make you work all those hours unless you want to. sm
I'd just tell them that I was cutting back to X number of hours per day.
How are you supposed to know when the work will be in to make up?
We are not privvy to how much work is in the system at any given time. We only know what is in our queue. This is just absurd on so many levels.
I would rather work on 1 account and make more money, than 5 different ones! No thanks. sm
I think their new program absolutely sucks and there are a heck of a lot of people who say the sound quality is horrendous. I wasn't sticking around to find out. I made my decision as soon as I saw what it was about and knew it would slow me way down. Hey, to each their own. If you like it, fine. I am happy about my decision and glad I did it.
it wont really make a difference anyway as there is NO work!
