Low work?? Hmm - check backlog page - lots of OT offered right now. nm
Are you on the ChartMatrix side mebbe?
I'll check that our. I mostly stare in disbelief at the Acct Backlog Page.
Disgusting. I'm disgruntled, too. Just got an E-mail asking for help from some newbie on my secondary on which there are only a couple dozen jobs. My primary is out and my STM will not give me a 3rd. I had a 3rd, but we lost that hospital in June. Sick of it.
For some of us, it can last all day. Just look at the Acct Backlog page, especially on the weekend.
Maybe we all have the same supervisor. Don't know. Can you have accounts that are under more than 1 STM?
The backlog page doesn't always show all the OT - sm
Beg to differ - my STM just send her daily update saying you could work extra on about 6 different accounts. I saw another STM this morning saying the same thing in her update. So sorry if I offended you.
One person's experience is not everyone else's. If you are limited to only radiology, no wonder you are out of work.
check company page
Mary/writer has written a post to the company board stating that she had filled the position. She thanked people for their posts. I think she was taken aback by one very mean email she received. I am surprised she didn't get far more. Of course $25 for three hours of work is ridiculously low, but I bet she could have been treated much more nicely. Some of the people who post on here are so unkind. I don't think they would be happy anywhere with any amount of money. How disheartening.
Today check lower half of page 3 - that has a ton of comments from their MTs
Are you looking at same backlog I am? sm
There are literally hundreds of jobs available now on a number of different accounts. What you need to do is discuss with your STM getting on some of these accounts.
Not at all. Worked for the NJ company. Used to pay by the page or partial page. Don't know about

At least you can see the backlog report

You are SO right..the least backlog and emails fly. Overstaffed now for sure. nm

Or what about when you get the e-mails that there is too much backlog and D will have to hire..sm
more MTs if you don't get it cleaned up and then you dial into your 3 accounts only to hear requested dictation completed. I don't understand this and it is very frustrating and
Did anyone else stop getting backlog emails?
Usually get an email from the account liason in the mornings plus backlog reports through the day and then suddenly I get no email at all from them. But I can still log on and work. I know they were changing the email system and I got the email last week sometime I think asking if they had the correct email address, and to let them know if not, but then I stopped getting emails!
Yes there is a major backlog on that account

what are you talking about - there is a huge backlog on the oncology account....
they are even offering bonuses to help get the work load into TAT. What account are you on and what center are you talking about?
there is a thread further down this page or possibly the next page
I transcribed for Compuscribe years ago. Had no problems, just low pay but no problems.
Go to the bottom of the page and click on a page

According to Allstate, they have a new account and have over 1500 jobs in backlog, is this not true?
What's the real scoop?

Does background check include credit check?
"You can check my credit if I can check yours"

Credit check, FBI check was not for
me. The notion that if you don't pay your bills means your not a responsible person really kills me!!! Lots of people have $$ problems, especially if you are an MT, LOL!!! They are the only company I know that does these checks. Seems a little anal to me!!!
They can check mine if I can check theirs...nm
I don't see that on their web page
nm
Take a look at the next page (sm)
Maybe the people aren't still there, but they're experiences weren't good. Companies don't change that radically. If there are problems like that, it's because of major philosophical problems in the company. If after reading those posts you'd still want to pursue testing with them, well, all I can say is good luck. I'm sure we'll be hearing from you later.
Pay by the page
Is this good or bad? Does anyone have any experience with this type of pay?
Pay by the page
Thank you. It's $2.50 per pay page on a sliding scale. I do not really understand it and that's why I do not really know what questions to ask. Thanks for the input.
per page
To me it there are too many variables to quote a per page rate, font size, margins, etc. You can have anywhere from 50 to 66 lines for full page depending on margins and font, so at .012 per line, that is quite a difference. Also what do you do for 20 or 30 lines, as they could both be half a page? That is just my opinion though. Could work in your favor and could not. If they use a small Arial 10 font, takes a lot more lines to fill up a page than Courier 12.
I Get $2.75 per page
I type for an insurance company doing claim tapes and I charge by the page. It works out well for me. I type in Tahoma 10. Even if a page is just one line long I get paid the full rate.
i see it a little further down on this page

Pay by the page
How on earth do you charge by the page? I have never been paid by the page but only by the line. Luckily, I found the job through the local paper and they will let me work from home (only 5 minutes away). There is a big psychiatric hospital down there street. Thanks for all of your help. I about gave up on transcription.
Pay by the page
I meant there is a big psychiatric hospital down the street from where I live and they usually charge by the page, but I have never charged by the page, but only by the line. Any suggestions?
by the page
The margins per page are 3 inch on the top and 3 inch left margin. Does that make a difference do you think?
Look down the page a little.....
Keystrokes is really popular right now. 
you are all over this page
with negative comments about a lot of companies. Probably not a very good idea to let this recruiter know who you are by e-mailing straight from this site. Just a helpful hint.
pay by page
Does anyone work for a transcription company that pays by the page instead of cents per line? If so, could you please email me. Thanks.
Yep and now it's a whole page +2.

On what page are they? If they are there, I will
x
Further down this page, 1/3 way?, you
will find a message from the recruiter, Carlotta Buckley, with that signature.
I, along with others, have elabored myself on MDI, which is probably on next page now.
It is a great company that will do everything they can to take care of the MT. They have a positive QA team, etc. Personally i think they are the best company around.
Same page
I only wish more people would get on the page with us. I fail to see how some people can stick their head so far in the sand.
No I'm not QA and I think we are on the same page. sm
My original post was in regards to Bayou MT's comment that we are not paid to look up doctor's names, unfamiliar names, terminology, etc.
P.S. I've run into the same QA types. The absolute worse was one from YOG. She actually called me on the phone and put me down.
at the top of the page --sm
there is a Google search bar. just beneath that are two buttons, . web and . MT stars. make sure the button by mt stars is checked and then type in the name of the company in question and click the search button beside it. that should bring up new and old postings about the company.
$1.00 a page?
You MUST be kidding! What an insult!
$1.00 per page
Yes, I thought it was very low, too. And she pointed out that you make the $1.00 page if you are very good. I thought that was hilarious. It was like she meant to convey that only the very top transcriptionists could ever hope to attain that job with such an exhorbitant amount of money as $1.00 per page! I had to hang up quickly before I laughed out loud! No hard feelings with them, though, and I wasn't all that insulted. I wish them well. They just don't have clue about how to hire quality transcriptionists and pay them well. Of course, that problem is a common one in this industry, but they just seem to have even less of a clue than most companies about paying us properly for quality work.
