Wouldn't do it. You'll end up with lines that are in the 70 and 80 chars. long length. They

Doing VR, wouldn't you just hate to sit all day long
and retype all those reports for a mere 4 cents a line or some that I am seeing now going down to 3 cents a line. Not this lady! I am really able to sit with full speed ahead and keep my foot on the pedal most of the day. I am really thankful to have a good system like I do.
I wouldn't wait that long. If I cannot be on a regular
What are they paying, once a month? So, for the whole month of May, you draw pay on June 13th?
Not for me.
I went to PRN status & then just left completely so I wouldn't take lines from FT/PT MTs sm
My FT job was drying up so I had gone with MDI PT to help out and then left the FT job. I hadn't even been FT with MDI for 2 weeks when the work there started drying up, and this was actually a couple of months ago. I found another FT job and was going to be PRN with MDI, but when I saw how little work there was, I completely left so I wouldn't be taking even those few lines per month away from anyone else. I hope things pick up for you all there. It is a bad time to be trying to stretch paychecks even more than usual.
I knew it wouldn't take long for a flamer to post...sm
I don't even know where to start. Do YOU have a child(ren) who plays soccer every Saturday or football every Sunday? Do YOU go to church? Do YOU have kids you want to take to Sunday school? Some of us that work at home need that weekend time to spend with our families and GOD!
You show me any other profession that requires a person to work either every Sat or Sun. There isn't any!! Doctors rotate and so do nurses! It just sounds to me like these MTSOs don't want to take the time or spend the money for a scheduler. How hard can it be???
As long as you don't designate it as a company sponsored board I would think they wouldn't car
I'm sure you'll get there before long. sm
I've been MT'ing for 23 years and the worst part has been the learning curve with a new platform and account. In fact, I stuck it out way longer than I should have with MQ just because I was too lazy to learn the ways of another company. I did take a position with a new company and will probably ditch MQ by the end of the month. Hang in there. Keep us posted on your lph ramp-up.
If you ask for more lines, they'll work with you (NM)
:D
and she'll just keep running them off. Especially as long as
she keeps people who steal, cheat, and lie -- get fired from other companies for being a thief and a backstabber -- as supervisors. It amazes me how some of the serious bottom feeders can go from one company to another, lie on their resume, and never get caught.... especially ones who had police show up to their house and confescate all of their equipment after they thieved from the company they left. NICE JOB! That'll keep a company floating along.
It should, but you'll be searching a long
time to find it. Seems 8 cpl is the going rate and 9 if you're lucky.
From a 5/06 post, 8 cpl up to 1800 lines a day!!! Then you'll get 8.5. Not for this turtle
s
Even if you're FT, you'll be lucky to have enough work to get your lines,
x
How long does it take you to get those lines and is
it straight transcribing or a mix?
but those were long, long lines for
most of the reports. You could make more with a 65-character line count.
You'll work as an employee, not IC. Need your own C-phone and pay for your own long distance line
s
How long does it take you to do 2000 lines nm
nm
And my lines were often over 80 characters long. NM
x
too many platform probs, lost lines, IT support is virtually nonexistent, I'll be saying
x
Is their line 65 chars with spaces, etc.?
What platform are you using? (Do they have more than one?) Were you able to get a rate equivalent to what MDI paid you?
On DQS, how long does it take to see how many lines you get credit for each report? nm
nm
How long did it take you to build up to 2000 lines a day?
x
Beyond Text doesn't work long enough to allow you to get any lines. nm
nm
Had you worked for them very long? How many lines were you averaging each pay period?
That is terrible. I am so sorry to hear that. Best of luck to you in your new job.
I love the K. Long reports, good lines.
nm
My experience of "working with me to get more lines" took too long! I can't sit back and wa
Just my experience!
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).
Very true, really long weekends at times, but no real vacation in 7 years.I'll travel when retire
nm
I work that, had TONS all day long, never ran low got to 1500 lines WITHIN my shift too. nm
nm
I am able to get my lines/hours in as long as I flex a little within my time window. (sm)
Are you hiring on now or just looking?
Prior post said it's so-so to use, but only counts the black chars., no spaces. nm
s
Go to their website. They don't pay for headers, footers, special chars. and they're Indian

The PTO is according to your length of service
I work there and get 7.08 hours per check. I haven't noticed less PTO. My complaint is the HEALTH INSURANCE for MTs (NOT Management). Ours stinks this year. NO RAISES. Any extra money we make will go to paying medical bills the INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER and RX which is NOT covered anymore. They give us $500 to spend for the whole year and that's it. Then the deductible kicks in and it is $5000!!!! I am checking other companies.
Being an arm's length away from heaven is no different
If you aren't there, you aren't there. That's the plain truth.
No need to apologize for length!
I am hoping for logical thinking in-depth reasoning such as yours. :)
depending on length of the reports,
that is 2 less Americans employed in their own country and the taxes that would be collected for that income missing. How patriotic of Transcend. These companies only think of their own pockets, never the needs of the citizens of the country in which they live. Selfish, greedy, .......................
Depends on the length of the report
If their accounts dictate short reports you come out ahead if not they do...
Make sure the per report pay is decent
How have you put up with this place for any length of time?!! Wow...can you post their
s
Depends on the length of the gross line. If it's
set as a 65-character length line also (as in same margins, same length), then 8 cpl gross is equivalent to about 10 cpl per 65 characters. But if the gross line margins are set for a really long line, then you might not come out much ahead. Did that make sense?
Generally the length of time you are required to keep sm
records on file for a former client is codified in your contract with them.
Yes but the amount depends on the account, length of time, etc.
I have been happy for two years!
General rule of thumb is multiple length of dictation by 3.
.
I agree. Big factors- ease of dictators, length of reports, platform. NM
.
I wish people wouldn't be so encouraging. Then maybe we wouldn't constantly run
.
I believe AAMT guidelines is 65 chars. with spaces. Maybe go to aamt.org and see if you can
s
At my company I'd ask for $18; probably wouldn't get it, but I wouldn't go lower. nm

If you'll read through past posts you'll find lots of
recent info. Why do you need menitoring if you already work as an MT. Unless you do clinic work most companies will require you to work at least one weekend day, at least initially.
If you'll read the archives you'll find out everything
you want to know, none of it good.
Probably figure you'll want Way more than they'll offer, whatever it might be. :) nm

If you'll read more carefully you'll see
I was referring to AFTER she's missed out on a job, having a friend do sort of an audit to tell her what what was wrong with her test she submitted -- not cheating.
1800 lines is easily achieved. I average 300-340 lines per hour. nm

No problem :) No matter how long, it is too long for me - I am broke the day after payday. Kids wi
do that to you!
I know that they have worked very hard to make sure that checks are never late and I can say that in the past two years, I have had one problem (2 days late) and in the past 18 months, they have all been on payday and perfect.
I know that there are a lot of hard feelings in MT in general. I also know firsthand (and I am not mgmt) how hard KS has worked to get things going good.
I would not want to walk in an MTSO's shoes for any amount of money, but that's just me. I like to finish my work for the day, forget about work when not working and get paid on payday. I never want the other things that go with mgmt or owning a company of any kind :)
10 lines per minute = 1500 lines for 150 minutes - average. nm
