Stop. Redlight. Too complicated to explain here, but problems with that method are major reason things are now calculated by line in 99.97% cases. There has to be a reason a co. would go this route. Tread lightly. Think wisely. If it seem to be too good to be true it is.
Low pay, offered 0.065/65-char and this was for IC. No thank you! nm

Well, I got started at .08 for 55-char
line. My checks are really good and that's all I care about! Like I said, my checks are more every 2 weeks that they were from any other company I worked for.
I make .05 - 65 char line now, what should I be getting?
I have been working for almost 2 years.
Execuscribe...65 char gross...nm

They are paying 0.05 per 65/char line for VR nm

Spaces are about 27% of a 65 char line

Will it be a 65-char. line or longer? nm

55 char line with spaces
Ok guys how does a 55 char line WITH spaces = to a 65 char line. I was offered 8 for 55 char line with spaces and counts underlines, bolds, hard returns etc.
55 char line with spaces
Is 8cpl for a 55 char line with spaces and double counts for bold, underline, etc a good rate. Sorry, but i am used to getting paid for a 65 character line. What does this equal out to? Does anyone know how to figure it out. TIA!!
ya, it was a wierd char/line...sm
you are sane in my book, if that counts LOL
8.5 cents per 70 char/line with spaces
Does anyone get paid like this? Is this good?
The rate was 9.75 cents, 65 char. without spaces. No thanx! nm

Is a 55-char line without spaces good?
Does anyone know how a 55-character line WITHOUT spaces would compare to a 65-character line WITH spaces? Which one is better?
Paid for 55 char black line...
Can anyone tell me if they get paid this way instead of the 65 w/ spaces? If anyone else does, can you tell me roughly the difference it makes versus getting paid for spaces?
Thanks
The average 65-char line has more than 10 spaces.
Your math is flawed.
Mark off a 65-char line. Then take random
sentences from your reports. Then count the spaces. Or you could put it in Word and use the tools to average it out. The average of spaces per 65-char line is more than 10. Try it yourself rather than just believing what you've been told.
Sounds like a gross line though, not 65-char.
Don't know if I misinterpreted the ad, but it might not be too bad if it is a gross line depending on dictator style. If there are a lot of short lines like on my current account, it could work out really well. I would actually make more at 6 cents per gross line than I make at 8 cents per 65-character line. Comparing the last report I just did, I made $5.08 for the report at 8 cpl, but if I had been paid 6 cents per gross line, I would have made $8.58. Can't really judge line rate unless you have all the info.
okay, i think it starts...
at 1,100 lines per day, but I am not sure what the rate is. You can email them and I am sure they will get back with you. They were helpful when I was hired.
Not really. The pay is what they tell you but not everyone starts at the same sm
level. It is based on the account, the type of account, the platform, the hours, your experience. The communication is great but some people do not understand that it can take a few days to back to someone; there are a lot of things going on at the office. The workload everyone agrees on because they really work hard to make sure that you have enough work. Health insurance? No surprises there either. They have Unicare, which is OK but not the best and expensive but no more than most other companies. In fact, my husband's company and my sister's company (neither are transcription jobs) have much more expensive insurance. KS is working on it but they keep us up to date as they find out information.
Are they perfect? No. No company is but they have improved steadily without going backwards.
Yes there are other good companies, probably lots of them. Unfortunately, there are lots of bad ones too and most of us have either been burned or burnt out by other companies.
My fear is that the owners will sell KS. Once a company seems to be doing well with happy employees, one of the huge ones comes in and scoops them up; is this their way of eliminating their competition?
Probably starts with O?
Because I know that's the answer I was given when I questioned way back why my count never matched up to what I'd get when I counted characters extended in Word and divided by 65. Supposedly a certain percentage was taken off for headers/footers because we don't get paid for these, but even counting those and deducting, it's still taking off way more than the headers and footers would account for. I really don't know why I stay.
Everyone starts at 8 cpl now and can go up to
9.5 cpl after 90 days based on difficulty of account and quality of work.
pay starts at 0.06 cpl....sm
No matter how much experience you have and they are now using eScription and that da**# VR and they pay 3 cpl for that. You have to type like a certain number of lines to move up to the highest pay of 0.09 cpl. That is retarded! 
So what happens if everyone starts doing
the same. Seriously, do you think a transcription company has tons of work to go around and chooses not to spread it around? Not likely. Chances are, the MTSO had very little work on that account and instead of it going to first come, first serve, she demanded it be routed to her because if not she would quit. I think I'm just going to start demanding things, too.
Is 8 cpl/65 char including spaces good pay for Radiology?
TIA
I read in archives that pay is 65 char wo spaces, is that true?
dd
Not true. They pay based on a 65-char line with spaces.

PS - pay based on 65-char line, SPACES INCLUDED. SM
Also paid for weekend work, 2nd and 3rd shift differential. Bonus plan based on production.
Ins is BC/BS and starts on the 1st day of the next month after

One of the new ones is definitely internet. I think it starts sm
October 15th or November 1st. The account is going to need 25-35 MTs to run smoothly, so it will be a nice one!
This is how misinformation starts
Do you know for a fact that this is happening at this company? Do you work there? Just because someone asks a question on this board that really should be asked of her superivisor doesn't mean that the company is doing something wrong. This is an example of how the negativity on this board spreads and perpetuates. Many people on this board are mighty quick to jump to conclusions, and it can be very misleading.
One Word - starts with Y
YUCK!
I bet company starts with a "T"...nm

The national that starts with an S.
I am wondering if the message regarding Spheris, stating that should they want an MT to go, sabotage of their work may take place, could be elaborated on.
It is important that I stay with this job. I have BC and ins. is an issue and honestly, I love it. But, it is very stressful for me to work under these conditions.
If I thought that there was a possibility that the more hostile arm of my management team could retype my work to include an error that would place the patient in jeopardy, just so they could get rid of me, I would take action now.
I would like to know if ex employees who left with heavy hearts would e-mail me confidentially and anonymously to let me know how they came to the conclusion that the sups were brutal and ruthless.
no it starts with an L and most people sm
are gonna say I am crazy. I will say this, the platform is good, the account is good, but the communication IS AWFUL. I think a month is long enough. I went with this company because I hadn't found anything bad on them. But since this has happened I have gotten four e-mails from people who worked for them or were getting ready to go to work for them and decided not to because the communication was bad, bad BAD!!
These people say they are desperate and want people NOW and then they do this. They can't be too desperate although the account I had was back up til March. So you would think they would get their stuff together and be a little more organized. No way to run a company if you ask me.
I thought someone posted on here about 75 char line, and can't check lines...nm
x
Yes, that's including headings. I use Open Office which gives me a char count.
What it doesn't include is anything in the ADT screen, just what we type in the report.
Northeast Transcription says that FT is 32 hrs/1000 lpd, but 70-char.lines with all spaces and

The norm in the 80s was 4 cents per Gross Line, not 65 char with spaces. nm

Is this by any chance a company that starts with "M"??? nm
x
Starts you off much lower than her ad shows. nm
s
another with low counts on this system starts with "T"
out of Texas.
Please be more specific about pay when someone starts working for you and this will never be a
problem again!
Axolotl has insurance that starts the first day of the
month are you are hired, so if you were hired today, your insurance would start December 1. Premiums reasonable. The pre-existing situation usually isn't an issue if you have had continuous insurance. Apply via website.
Mine starts with an S too, but no big email.

VR - next month starts Sunday
VR is a reality beginning Sunday. It is no longer a rumor.
Just wondering if this company starts with a T nm

Gotta be a company that starts with an
nm
Supposedly starts 10/06 and will continue
into the 3rd quarter of next year. I would hope they would let us know, at the very least, which accounts are going first and a time frame for the rest of this year.
Is 8 cpl on 65 char with spaces,header, footer good rate for IC work?
Want to accept position. Wondering if that's a good rate today. THank you
If you are paid cpl based on 65 char.line, margins dont matter.
