No shift diff??
I've ALWAYS gotten a 2nd shift differential in Ohio...wow, that's not fair to U.
Very few. More often a 2nd or 3rd shift diff will

There are diff Sten-Tels (sm)
I worked for them (the one in Springfield, MA) for about 18 months, up until September. I ended up quitting because there was no work and I could not get anyone, from my account supervisor to HR management, to either a) tell me why the account I was on dried up even though the docs had just opened a second office, or b) get me onto an account that had work, or even c) respond to half my emails (account manager). I did enjoy the work, it was straight typing (the platform I was on, they have 2), and the work was pretty consistent until mid-July. After six weeks of begging, I had to move on. Oh, and the kicker? When I would actually get work, I could tell by the job number that literally 10s of thousands of jobs had moved through the system since the last time I worked. But they couldn't find any jobs for me to do....And don't zing me on QA, please. In the 18 months I was there I only had maybe 5-6 reports come back to be fixed or with notes from the client, and that was early on.
Now, having said that - if they called me and offered me work again under a different account supervisor would I take it? Absolutely.
There are many different Sten-Tels out there, and from what I can tell they are mostly franchises, with the main branch being the one in Springfield. They pay once a month, and the checks were usually delievered via USPS anywhere from actually on the 15th to up to a week later. There were some pay discrepancies a couple of times, but as soon as I mentioned them they were fixed.
Hope that helps.

Actually, that 10% I stated was too low - what is the diff between cpl spaces vs nonspaces?

I work for 2 diff MT companies and love it
Like you I do not need insurance. I like the differences between the two companies I work for, both have their pros and cons (as any company does),the flexibility is better than being a full-time MT for one company but the flexibility is still limited but it is there...the second company I work for is really really good if you have to flex your schedule...for me changing companies usually was becuase of the hours not working for me, this is a solution that has worked for me for over a year now and I have been a transcriber for 31 years...good luck, do what is best for you!!!
ps with the second company I asked for more money than I was making with the first company and ended up getting what I asked for..GOOD LUCK
I believe OP is referring to DocuMed in NJ (dff spelling, diff co.)

How much is family ins at Trantech, is there a shift diff?
nm
What is the shift diff for 2nd & 3rd shifts, weekend? Thanks!

with 16 years I would suspect you to know the diff. between wave and waive?!?!?

A friend's printed offer said 6-8.5 cpl with CMTs making more. Don't know about shift diff. or
s
Was there a short time last year. You work as an employee, not IC. Different software/diff. accts.

I doubt you will make enough money in 5 hours a week to make
nm
I make 4 cents a line, work part and make
over $500 a week on part.
Great post! I make 0.085 at Keystrokes and make more than at any sm
other company in the last 5 years. Why? Because there is always work for me. I love starting work each day, knowing that the company I work for appreciates me and has plenty of work. Transtech and Keystrokes sound very similar; those of us that work for either can count our blessings that we are not part of the cesspool or huge corporate mess that makes up the biggest few companies. We do not have to worry about our jobs getting sent overseas and we see a future in this business!!!
Yeah, but we don't make what docs make. nm
nm
But we don't even make what in-house make.
It would be different if we made the same as the in-house MTs. In a lot of cases, most of the people working in-house make much more including benefits than we do at home as full-time employees. That's where I think the unfairness comes in. The in-house employees don't all work every single weekend. Most of them rotate at a much higher salary and much better benefits. The MTs at home are expected to fill in for the in-house for less money, less benefits and give more and more back in the form of weekends and holidays. Most remote MTs only receive benefits contingent on production, and even then they're not nearly as good as in-house benefits. How is that equal in the healthcare team perspective?
you might want to make sure you don't make yourself look like an IDOT before you go any further.

I make $1.10 per report and make much more sm
than by the line. Day by day it varies and goes back and forth, but over a long period, it is better by the report. Make sure they pay links though; this is key.
Do Shapin MTs really only make 6 cpl and QAs make 1.5 cpl?

Why can't you make money with all OPs? I do all OPs and make
good money. I'm not with WebMedX though.
I'm happy with what I make. I still make more than if I went anywhere else and hardly noone in th
biz gives raises so I feel blessed that I make a lot more than most, raise or no raise.
And always make sure you don't make line
counts that amount to anything. They always place you with impossible ESLs as soon as you start making decent money.
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.
Make sure you have some (sm)
money saved up so when they don't bother to send your paycheck or give you excuses, run out of work constantly or take a long time setting you up, you won't go bankrupt.
Okay, those using DQS, how do you do it? How do you make (sm)
your line count? How do you everything??? Is Instant Text V Pro anything like Smartype where you key in a few letters and the list comes up? I'm so stressed from trying to learn this program. Any, and I mean any, positive pointers you can share would so oh so appreciated!!! Please help!
Did you make more as an MT or are you
nm
make, not may nt
Well you would still make more if
you typed 15,000 instead of 11,000.
I make even less than that for IC . Nm : (
x
PS - I make top $$
well over 0.10/line on one a/c. Nobody does 20-25 reports/hr on this 100+ MD a/c.
Why not? Do you think they are just trying to make themselves look better on the
to all the outsourcing talk? It's okay now since they got a bonus?
None of what they make you go SM
through is really worth the job you end up with. It's a very average place, with average work, average pay. You can do the same elsewhere without the hassle.
How much do you make (FT or PT)? (sm)
and how are you paid?
see and I say take the IC, just make sure
you have a professional prepare your taxes and find a CPA who is up on at home business laws. I have been an IC for nine years. I get to write off a portion of my mortgage payment, utilities, etc. It works for me.
Me too. I make over $20 but you have to
get in with the right company. Do not let companies undermine QA by accepting positions that lessen our very purpose!
I will not say my company name because needless to say they do not get openings very often and yes they pay hourly.
I make 9.5 cpl as an IC with 27 Y sm
experience. I just started with them.
How is it you don't know what you make?
:+
I know what I make...
I'm just not posting it here.
I make more than that as an MT and am not available 24/7!
nm
MAKE myself
available to the applicants. The companies I have recruited for have told me not to do this, but sometimes you have to. I live on the East Coast and many are from the West Coast. I tell them if they have any questions to call me and I have had people call me as late as midnight with questions. Maybe that is pushing it, but to be honest, the recruiter is the image of the company. If you treat all applicants with respect and with what they say is worth listening to, tell them no question is silly, etc. I also am an MT and a QA person as well as a manager. I know how I want to be treated and I give it back to the applicants.
The job is a good job but it takes a lot of time. You really have to love the job to do it.
I make over $52,000
I love it also. This is with all benefits paid. I have many years in the industry as MT and QA. I definitely do not want to go backwards.
I make more $ doing OPs. nm

Right there with ya...I make 10-12 cpl
No way would i even consider 7
I'm with you -- there are a few that make me sm
want to pull out my hair by the root, but there are those types everywhere, not isolated to one company/account/whatever.
I averaged around 300 lines per hour at my previous company and average that here at TransTech, so I cannot blame them or anyone else when I have a low production day (that's usually because I allow too many distractions).
Sorry other people are having so many troubles. I was trained at a teaching hospital with hundreds of new residents from all over every year, so I guess I'm used to it. When I get any dictator, ESL or EFL, who speaks clearly and can form a sentence, I feel like writing him/her a love note. (ha)
I used to make that much, too
When my skills and experience were paired with my work, or when I had my own accounts on the side, I used to make really good money and I actually worked 6-8 hour days max. I miss those days. Work AND a life! It's getting more difficult or near impossible to find MT jobs like that anymore, though. Count your blessings, Betty.
