$4000 a month for a national with a low line rate. nm

Not true. They pay based on a 65-char line with spaces.

Is 8.5 cpl w/spaces a good rate?
What about 10 without spaces
What is MDI-MD's line rate? Spaces counted? weekends? benefits? Thanks. Have EXTENSIVE MT ex

If Ichart deducts 8% from ExText line counts, you are actually not getting paid for spaces
It is the equivalent of a 70.2 character line with spaces, 65 characters without spaces.
Still need help on figuring what would be a good cpl if paid w/o spaces.
See my first message above. Thanks
True - Regardless of line rate, if the work isn't
flowing like you need/want it to, then you'll not make your goal.
Futurenet AQ not paid by report any more? Going to line rate.
sucks
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
Paid for spaces depends on the account. Good company. nm

do you find being paid per the minute pays better than per line pay rate?
Thank you so much for your help!
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?
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.
Good line rate, benes and ins.
Have been with Webmedx a while and they offer BCBS, Delta Dental, disability and life ins, plus PTOs. Line rate, supervision, work platform and company are all awesome in my book. Been an MT for 20 years....Good luck. Hope this helps.
That is good pay for low line rate. I would be happy with that! nm

What is a good line rate for editing? nm

Good & bad posts in the past. Must work 1 Sat. a month. Supposed to be gross line pay. Some days

Of course, depends on your line rate, but $700.00 is very good for MT right now. I can make over
that if the work is available, and I put in more than 40 hours. I think to make $1000.00 you need to have lots of expansions and dictators with which you are familiar, IMHO.
Really? I thought it sounded like a good line rate.
nm
Your line rate is good for clinic work.
nm
Good thing they do because their line rate is marginal.

That's a pretty good offer. Does the line rate go up for over 175 lph? sm
Will you have VR thrown in there also?
Looking for part-time work with good line rate.
I have loads of acute care experience and I am dependable. I never miss a day of work, willing to work weekends, etc. I am looking for a dependable company with steady work. Any ideas?
Anybody working on Cquest, likes, dislikes?? good line rate??
Any information would be much appreciated....
I miss YOG also! Good company, great line rate, and awesome account.

So, if not spaces paid, what cpl would be comparable to at least 9 cpl w/spaces, do you know??
Thanks.
is the VR line rate 60% of the regular typing line rate?
s
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.
Spaces are not taken into account with gross lines....a line is a line...sm
if there seven words on a line.
or two
one
or a full line of typing...all of the companies that I have worked for define a gross line as 1 inch margins, 12 pt courier font....does not matter what we type in margins or font.....we convert all reports to the 1 inch margins and courier 12 font and then count the lines. not the blank spaces between the lines.
Hope this helps.
I see they pay on a VBC line. Isn't that a huge paycut from a 65-char. line with spaces? nm

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.
Is the ASR line rate 1/2 of transcription line rate? sm
Reason I ask is that I assume if they have ASR now that eventually all will be ASR except of course for the awful dictators as this seems to be the norm.
They pay for spaces. Rate depends on
test results, shift, and weekend work. They work from an ExText program which is an easy program. Right now they are trying to catch up from the hurricane mess because they had to evacuate, but so give them a few days to get their heads above water.
True - only pay once a month..
and even then, it's late. I worked for them for two months and had to remind them to pay me both times. Finally had enough and am out looking again.
IC's are paid twice a month, sm
but you are paid the 15th for the prior month's work. Employee status is different and have a different pay schedule.
I know, I worked there. The first month is difficult, but after that the checks flow routinely. You do get used to it though.
Getting paid once a month???!!! Not for me. nm

Only paid once a month
Is it normal for a service to only pay once a month? Also, to take lines away from line count for errors and have to give a 30-day notice? I am thinking of accepting a job that does this, but am feeling a bit uneasy as they only pay 3.5 for VR, which is 80% of the job. Thanks for any input.
Only paid once a month
What worries me is who is going to say what an error is? I've worked with QA people before and was totally frustrated with inconsistent feedback.
I am paid once a month.
But I am also paid 12 cpl so the check is worth the wait. The reason I would not take this position is the 3.5 cpl. Even with VR, you are going to have a hard time earning a decent wage, especially if they deduct from that for errors.
Only paid once a month
Thanks you guys for all your posts. I am not taking the job and am back to square one with looking for a new one.
Is there such a thing as good pay and treatment for good work in MT anymore? 
I have been looking now for over 6 months. Seems like every time I find what seems to be a good job, all of a sudden the small print kills it. I sure am glad I can come here to find out about them first or would have been burned long ago. The place I work at now just put in VR and will have EHR soon. Makes me nervous even though they are assuring us we will not lose our jobs. What do you think?
I only get paid twice a month
what plan are you on to get paid every other week?
And only paid once a month...
Yet another company I'm asking to go fly a kite!
paid for spaces
you can bet the companies are charging for spaces; and the buck stops where? not here, anyway.
Cy/Med and No spaces being paid!
MTS: I applied and passed Cy/Med - they tell me they have over 600 people working for them - why are so many MTs out there working for companies that do not pay for spaces - to get 600 lines you have to work at least 20% longer - why are you working for no spaces - I am told that many clients are doing this now - this is really going backwards in the MT business I think - Your comments please!
We do get paid for spaces. sm
Employee handbook states 65-character line, including spaces and all characters necessary to create the document. You must be mistaking Webmedx for another company?
You are not getting paid for spaces.
xx
Do you know if we are paid for spaces?
Yes we get paid for spaces.
nm
The rate was 9.75 cents, 65 char. without spaces. No thanx! nm
