Very good company. Incentive pay for production plus shift and weekend differentials. sm
Their platform is stable (proprietary, I've been on it for about a year and a half now). Pay is always on time. Good support staff. Their insurance changed this year. Plenty of work. They don't overhire on their accounts from what I can see. If anything, there is always plenty of work, which I like because I can hop on outside of my regular shift and get some more lines. Now that they pay extra for weekends, I like to pick up some extra hours then.
Plus shift and/or weekend differentials.

No more shift/weekend differentials?
I'd love to know how they justify that. They've turned this into your average restaurant job, except with less time on your feet.
So, before the suits show up, let me say that I don't blame you one bit for wanting out of this dead-ender BS. I'm exploring my options myself. Best of luck to you!
Companies that pay shift and weekend differentials..???
I work every weekend and also evenings. It takes a lot of sacrifice on my family life and I wondered if any companies out there really do pay a differential to make it worthwhile. Thanks
MedWare pays shift and weekend differentials. nm

Not sure, but they have a great incentive tier and differentials
and you can get those line counts. Reminds me of days working for the hospital, first time in years!
What companies still pay weekend differentials? nm

Shift differentials
Do companies have to pay shift differentials?
Do they have shift differentials?
What if you work nights and weekends, how high does the line rate go? Is 0.075 the base pay before any incentives?
Any info in MQ packet about shift differentials?

They only pay 7-8 cpl with shift differentials and bonuses giving you any "extra." nm

DSG Incentive plan
Can someone tell me what the incentive plan is for DSG?
Incentive plan
I don't have the figures handy, but there are two incentives.
The first is getting a 0.25- 1.0 increase per line depending on how many lines you type in the two week period, again, I dont have the paper handy but I think the first incentive starts at 5001 per pay period. Don't quote me on it.
The other one is a bonus given every four weeks if your line count is over a certain amount starting at $20 and going up, and I believe the first count you have to exceed is 10001 in a four week period
incentive plan
That is Transcend's incentive plan, and they do pay according to it. Unfortunately, their new system, BeyondTXT, is FULL of bugs and is down frequently. There is no pay for downtime. I have worked for them two different times. The first time was when they were in their phase of overhiring and constantly running out of work. They designed their own new system about a year ago, and it is crap. They cut everyone's pay in half, and most of the old employees quit because they couldn't make a living. This doesn't take into consideration their phenomenal management shifts. I will never, ever work for them again. Maybe you will have better luck than the 100s of those who have quit for the last time.
TT Incentive Plan
Can someone please tell me what the incentive plan at Transtech looks like? I'm trying to find a company with a good incentive plan. That's probably a joke, but that's my goal.
MQ PACKET INCENTIVE PLAN
could you give me a breakdown of the incentives? If I type 2400 lines a day, what will my incentive be cpl?
10 to 12 as an employee? Is that with the incentive plan? sm
I work for them, too. I'm really surprised at that line rate.
TransTech also has incentive pay plan.
Check them out
webmedx incentive plan
Okay, have any of you other webers noticed a drop in hourly line rate? Even though they are no longer using this as a criteria for incentive pain, why are hourly line counts less than before, I've been averaging about 200 per hour, since the new plan I can't even get to that. Also one day noticed nothing but super long reports one after another, usually good mix of both long and short. I thougt maybe I was losing my mind but then I heard from another the same thing. Anyone else noticing this? I feel like I've been had once again. Sure make the incentive plan look more attractive but somehow make it harger to get lines? 
WebmedX incentive plan
No, I haven't noticed this at all, in fact some days seem to notice the opposite, more lines per hour. Before, when pay was based on LPH, I would not get up from my chair without stopping my clock. Now I will actually let the dogs out, grab a water from the fridge, etc. without stopping the clock and it doesn't hurt me a bit. Also, I would find it extremely hard to believe that any of the higher-ups are wading through each and every job to route you only super long reports. I am looking forward to the first paycheck with the new incentive plan in it.
Webmedx incentive plan
So that's where my loooong reports went. :)
I love the new incentive plan
I HATED the LPH system. I like this new production system MUCH, MUCH BETTER ALREADY.. My LPH has gone down too because now I don't sign off to look up every little thing like I used to keep my LPH up and I'm also taking more time with the difficult docs.
WebMedX has tiered incentive plan (sm)
...based on your line per hour rate. It's nice, and I usually wind up making 2 cents more per line that way - for every line typed, not just every line over the minimum (the way it was at my last place).
So I'm pretty happy. Don't know much about Axolotl, but it doesn't sound too bad based on the side-by-side comparison somebody made above.
E-Transplus has a good incentive plan
Even extra money if you do all your lines in your schedule every payperiod, extra money for shift differentials, plus a generous incentive tier. Also great benes.
The case for weekend and evening incentive pay ~
I believe in incentive pay for covering weekends, evenings and holidays. It seems there is always a demand for these duty periods. Yet some companies do NOT offer incentive pay and I would like to hear appropriate reasonings why they SHOULD. After all, we are giving up our precious, coveted time for their obviously hard-to-cover time slots!
Other than the obvious reasons of weekends and evenings being the only time when a majority families/individuals can relax and recreate, what are other sound reasonings for companies to pay more for these shifts. Thanks for responding!
Can you say what Medware pays and how their incentive plan works?
I have often been tempted to apply but that has always held me back. Now if I could get a decent 10 cpl or something like that, I would go for it.
new hires, since last fall; new hire incentive plan is different, which

I love the PT incentive plan. As long as some of the lines are done on SM
the weekend, it is not hard at all to reach the incentive tier. Last check, I had $95 on there that I wasn't really even expecting because I had reached the bonus tier (and didn't even know it LOL).
second shift/weekend
I work second/third shift and one weekend day but I do not get a shift diff so the pay is the same either way. I am on SR and only make 0.06 a line. The shift diff would have helped out.
You could prob get a first shift, but not sure about the weekend day. sm
I think possibly you would have to work 1 weekend day. I am not 100% on that though. If you wanted to work 2nd shift, say 2-10 pm or 3-11 pm, you might get a M-F schedule.
4.5 with shift & weekend incentives

shift and weekend differential - sm
Not sure why YOU didn't get this differential, but I DID - no longer though. Just goes to show how many different pay brackets there are at Transcend. So, just because your ROM doesn't know about the pay cut doesn't mean it isn't coming. I got my call last week - some are only getting them now. I hope you don't get it, but forewarned is forearmed.
What is the shift diff for 2nd & 3rd shifts, weekend? Thanks!
nm
None, unless you work both weekend days on the night shift. nm

Used to be 7.4-7.7 cpl for clinic, 8 cpl for hospital w/1 weekend shift, 10 if U worked entire

TransHealth also pays for production over minimum, and weekend differential. nm
Great incentive plan, but based on speed/lph not total lines produced. Works if you are fast.

NAFTA was never implemented for
NAFTA was implemented for the good of those with deep pockets and by that, I don't necessarily mean big corporations but those handfull of filthy rich that run the country and not just this one. They are your dozen or so OLD families that have been around a long long time. They run the Federal Reserve. Keep in mind, the US borrows billions of dollars from other countries. The Federal Reserve owns this country. Do some history research. Here's an interesting article..... When we start looking for a good leader for our country, this will stop. Google Ron Paul.

Were you replaced once VR was implemented?
I have worked on VR now for about 4-5 years and still needed to check through all parts of transcription. Why are people so running scared about this? Best thing since peanut butter and jelly.
A 3-day weekend every weekend? Wouldn't that be nice. Good luck with that!..nm

3rd shift radiology can be like that. Feast or famine. Same with 3rd shift sm
ER work. Sometimes the doctors are too busy to dictate, so they do it at the end. Why don't you talk to them and ask about a different shift?
Don't worry just find out and then have a plan A and plan B
I have gone through something like this but not with that company. I too am the insurance provider for my family and there are preexisting conditions, so a private policy is no good.
First of all, I work elsewhere but had the same situation. I fell short of line count, but not because of me, because they did not have enough work, and I like many others cannot make quota because of the way they count lines. Then, on last paycheck there was a negative on insurance money taken out of check. I thought I lost insurance, but found out at the end of the year, they did an audit and found out that I overpaid all year and so I actually was owed money that check.
In the meantime, I found another job but have to wait 90 days for insurance. Can't find a policy to bridge the 2 jobs, insurance is on my mind all the time. My heart is with you. Personally I am getting the 90 day meds, working on my second job which will become my real job and if I lose the insurance, Cobra will kick in in case of disaster so that is like major medical.
Sorry such a long post, but I suggest: Not to panic. You probably did not lose insurance. Call the benefit provider to see you are still covered, not the employer. If you are not still covered, get 90 days of Rx if your plan covers by mail and be billed, immediately get another job which is a better place to work anyway (I found one) and in 90 days you will be okay. Some places like Disriter cover the first of the following month, but I would not necessarily suggest you work somewhere which is not so great just for insurance. You can consider TransTech. That would be my suggestion. Sorry for such a long post. But this hit a nerve and I wanted you to understand some options, as I have gone through it. Good Luck.
And all bonuses & differentials go back to line 1

Ya know, even if I spend time during my shift or after that shift
it is still MY time, expected by the company, and I am not getting paid for it regardless. I don't answer my phone while I am working, never did, never will. What other profession, while probably punching a clock, do folks work for free? If I worked in an office doing this, that time would be paid - say 15 minutes a day x 5 days a week at even $10/hour = $50 a month - and it is more time spent than that to deal with the email thing and the reminders and the changes in specifics and logging in and out of 3 different accounts when primary is out of work. GRRR.
I don't change jobs easily either, glad you are happy where you are - but producing 1400 lines of ACCURATE text will end my career soon (and probably yours also) and then what are we all to do? My goal is not to work more, work harder and longer hours to produce a salary I can live on.
transcend and differentials, weekends, nights, holidays
what does Transcend pay for these, anyone know?
They pay well 10 cpl days, 11 cpl 2nd shift, 12 for 3rd shift
1300 lines a day required, 65 character line. They have benefits. Don't know much else.
I have worked both 3rd shift and day shift (SM)
including what you call banker's hours (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). I ran out of work more often on 3rd than I do now on the day shift.
you only get incentive pay for
1200 on any given day. And it goes up fromthere, but stresses it is done on a DAY TO DAY basis, not pay period. So make them 8 hour days and cut out the short days. I know I don't like this either. You can make more on short days I think because your production stays up. But I know if I type 8 hours by hours 7 and 8 I am typing mush. Don'tthink of it as 8 hours if you are not full-time, think ofit as 1200 lines and over, however longit takes you to hit that.
As of Nov 1, the incentive on
straight MT has been done away with, no shift or weekend or holiday extras either, that is what I was told.
