How do you KNOW what the client pays?
Gottcha, because you are an MTSO !
Do you really think that clients pay 5-8 cpl? Go and fly a kite, toodle-loo, they pay at least 12-15 cpl.
Any company that makes you wait to get paid until they get paid by the client
is not a company you want to get involved with. That's part of being an MTSO, figuring out how to cover your payroll while waiting to get paid. I would stay away!
Contact her client to see if they have paid her.
You are not bound to any contract you may have signed if she has negated on her end of the contract. I would let her know you will contact them if you do not hear from her within x amount of time with your money. She will not want you calling them - guarantee it.
You get paid when SHE gets paid from the client...sm
I don't like that at all.
All well and good, but if the client is only
willing to pay 15 cpl, the MTSO cannot afford to pay the MT 10 cpl.
do you find being paid per the minute pays better than per line pay rate?
Thank you so much for your help!
she pays when she gets good and ready to!
She does not pay when the client pays her even though that is what the contract says. If you want to get paid on time, I would not recommend this company at all.
That is good $$ but Transtech pays a lot

There seems to be new ads on this site everyday, which is a good sign, but

Is there a good site to get DQS questions answered quickly? nm

Spheris pays for training. It used to be pretty good. Don't know what

Anyone know if Accustat is a good company and pays on time?
Curious
that pays late constantly - lost many good MTs.

Good company. Pays higher than many. Very high
Pay is always on time (early if payday is on a holiday). Good transcription software. Approachable, friendly management. Benefits okay. (Blue Cross). Also eye & dental. 401K that they also contribute to. Pretty much straight typing, not much in the way of templates. VR in place on some accounts. Currently MT has the choice of using it or not. All in all, I'm satisfied with working there.
Does anyone know if Precyse Solutions is a good company that pays on time and has plenty
of work?
Paid on time, but not good.

Good Luck Getting Paid
LOL!
Also 6 paid holidays, good ...
incentive pay, great supervisors. As a single, i pay $83 per pay period for the BC/BS, dental, vision. I haven't had a problem with not enough work. There are a lot of ESL dictators though.
Still need help on figuring what would be a good cpl if paid w/o spaces.
See my first message above. Thanks
Absolutely! I had a good hospital job that paid okay but -(sm)
left it cuz they wouldn't let me work from home. And unfortunately most of the services are located in states with lower cost of living, thus lower pay. I live in an expensive state, and should be able to make a wage that reflects the cost of living HERE.... not in the Middle of Nowhere, USA.
I don't know why hospitals haven't figured that out... they could have full-time, QUALITY local MTs, without the cost of housing them. Yet they'd still be available to come in to the facility when needed.
That's how mine paid - it was a really good deal.

I make far more money on VR. I also get paid a good SM
line rate for it, so that helps. I am paid 7 cpl for VR.
Anyone have a good average for getting paid by the minute?
I have never worked this way so what is a good rate for cents/audio minute?
Not a good way to get paid, plenty of the better companies pay hourly.

You are still wrong to thank your company on an MT site, appropriate is your site.

Paid for spaces depends on the account. Good company. nm

TT has paid maternity leave? Sounds too good to be true..
Just wondering if anyone has used this paid maternity benefit? Is there a catch? This is such a rare benefit now days it just seems too good to be true.
This is not true. I have been there a month and get a good line rate and paid for spaces. ??? nm
nm
Well, call a lawyer then. A good one. You could even get court costs paid by your employer probabl

Training on the system, not paid, but if you are physically typing reports then you are getting paid
nm
Oh, yea -- PAID, too. Grandmother PAID LEAVE would be a great drawing card to TT !!
Just love that PAID TIME OFF !!
Is this a live count of lines paid for or same as CTRL I that we do not get paid for ?? nm

Me too.. the outsourced company was paid for and paid me for headers, but OSI does/did not.

I have always paid yearly and have never paid or been assessed a penaltly. nm

Be glad you get paid tomorrow. We are paid on the 1st and the 15th, so sm
since the 1st is on a weekend, we don't get paid until Monday. It will happen again on the 15th of August …sigh. It is the only thing I do not like about the company, though, so I guess a few weekends of poverty a year is not too much.

Boston, Mass.
own client
Get this, I had my own client since Feb. When i first started they were five weeks behind. Got them all caught up. REcently have been having trouble getting my paycheck. Keep being told its in the mail. I started putting a little bit of pressure on my boss yesterday and now tonight at 10:30 i got an email saying we should part ways. I am so upset and do not know what to do. All because i asked for my pay. Uh may be they dont think over 2G is not a lot of money to them but I do. They also were pushing me about TAT. They gave me 4 days no problems as long as i get the files and everything i need in a timely manner, which lately i have not so i have been calling the manager because that is what i was told to do. I really hate to go back to work for a big national but I guess now i have no other choice. I wrote back a big reply to her email and waiting to see if i get a response and DH also told me i should call my manager and tell her thanks for the back stabbing? What do you think?
client
Oh yeah, they did not even give me the decency of a phone call jsut a lousy email can you believe that?
its the client
Hey, it is usually the client that changes pay practices...why is everyone on this board out to badmouth one person after another....dishonesty is not always the path taken
I have (I am an IC). I had one client that
used cassette tapes and if I had to scan a tape I charged an extra 0.02 per line for that report. Not much, but it did cut down on the Stats. I also printed reports at home and if I had to reprint something because of their error or losing report, etc., I charged 0.05 just to reprint it.
The client usually never knows about VR sm
being used (big secret the larger companies keep), so they are getting full transcription rate and paying 1/2 rate to MTs to edit - more profit for the service!
No, you got the client because
you can hire MTs that will fall for it. 
only if the client allows it
is disengenuous and poor logic. It is also moral relativism, which in my book, is very, very wrong. I ain't gonna be working for them, either.
If they are only charging the client
8 CPL, as you state below, then that is sad. They are undercutting and the MT is the one that loses out because they will not get paid as much.The services keep dropping their prices and are only able to do that by paying less out to the MT.
Meditech Client
I never used Meditech. Hope it's easy to learn. Hope these are not too many questions:
Does it slow you down? If it does, even with cable?
Are there a lot of steps or screens to go through before starting the report?
What does it mean that it is Word-based? Can I use my own Word?
Is there a spell-checker?
How hard is it to use their canned text?
Does it black out my desktop when I'm signed in or can I still see it and go on line, etc?
Someone said sentences or paragraphs get strange when you try to go back to fix a mistake?
Thanks for any answers and anything you can add that might help. I'm worried.
Client does not pay for no report, so...
you aren't paid for a no report. No reports take about 5 nanoseconds to generate and send through, and you can go days before you get one...on all other reports, you are paid for the demographics.
Magic or Client? nm

Its not AccuStat..its the client
I have worked with AccuStat many years now and they always pay as soon as the client pays the invoice. If you are going to complain, become an employee instead of an IC. It's so nice that you put something negative about a good company without the explanation behind it!! Read the laws on paying ICs!!!
Again to all, the company is a good company; been with them 6 years and they pay always!!!
I am an independent and I cannot get client to pay
Anybody have any options for me how to go about getting paid?
No company will put an MT before a client, it's the
