Debate is one thing, and posting is one thing,
but this is getting absurd. I think it must be the same person, otherwise multiples who cannot stay on topic?? Why can't you STICK with the subject? The subject of my post was NOT what your cent per line rate was or is - I could care less- and not how much money you made last year, this year, or in your life, but how silly the comment was that your cents per line rate means NOTHING, that its up to you - some fluff like that. That is just so silly. Again, working for the same company, same account, is one going to make more money being paid more per line? OF course! This is so frustrating and really makes me so tired of reading this garbage let alone posting. Its like a nightmare. And also makes me completely believe that the original company must pay peanuts.
I just keep track of my main break. I don't keep track
of every interruption during my shift, that would be ridiculous. Im not gonna log every potty break, or phone call I have to take. I take 20-30 mins for my dinner break and that is what I log on my sheet.
Just came upon this post and LOVE it, thanks for posting, have one thing to add....sm
This past year I had a lot of changes, some okay, some pretty bad, but one of the only consistently bright spots has been my job this past year since Februry. Just wanted to share, as they are hiring, perhaps someone else would not like this position, but I have been MT for close to 30 years and feel very compensated, cared for, content, un-stressed, and happy.

My company is on the west coast. They have many accounts from clinic/acute care, sports medicine, ER, primnary care, and just about every specialty. They truly strive to match up each MT with primary accounts, and also with accounts you are familiar/comfortable/proficient in. Work is strictly IC, and they truly work it that way. You basically choose hours/how many/when, there are no weekends unless you want to work, no holiday coverage (unless you want!), very flexible with personal days, sick days, etc, as long as there is sufficient notice for coverage; pay is always corret and ON TIME, although we are paid monthly; Yes it was a drawback the first month, but after that I just took that fat check and budgeted it, no problem.

One of the best things is that we are paid by the GROSS LINE, which is a line is a line is a line, everything counts, spaces, returns, macros, certain headers, it adds up fast and to the the MT's benefit, believe me.

Our platform is MedRite XL on Crescendo network, very easy, fast, user-friendly, Word-based, all you need is a high-speed connection, Windows XP, sound card and foot pedal, training is very laid back, kind, helpful, and very rapid if you have been an MT for quite a while. My boss was just asking me if I knew any fairly seasoned, dependable, well-rounded MTs, and although I have a few friends in the field, they are busy with other jobs they have been at for a long time....I am not a salesperson, I am not a headhunter or anything, never even been QA, I actually over regular old transcription, but I really love this company, I have had some horrible experiences, and these folks have been a JOY to work for this past year. Please feel free to e-mail me with questions, I did not give the name so as not to be too much of a cheerleader. Happy, peaceful, prosperous, and very healthy new year to everyone out there!
I've been posting the same thing for a couple of years. I don't understand

why people feel like their company has to provide insurance and they may take a job they hate just for insurance.  Getting your own policy is almost always cheaper and then you aren't tied to a job/company you hate.


If you have pre-existing conditions situation may be different. 


track changes
Ok, I am correcting one of my girls documents.  I am trying to use track changes.  After i email this to her i want to get rid of the red marks, save, and send to my client.  How do i get rid of these red marks?
NOW you are on the right track.
As to noncompete agreements? They are generally not enforceable IF they are too broad - and that's where an attorney comes in - for interpretation. IF YOU DON'T target THEIR clients, you are free to solicit business where you choose. So bypass the legal stuff and solicit your OWN, different clients...

You should ALSO contact your reps in congress - in a serious professional can I have a meeting type of way. Start with your local representative and be prepared to some serious homework. This is if you want to undertsanding why and how offshoring exists. Not as simple as some would have you believe.

Good luck!

off track totally....
And we have a Chevy with 300,000 miles been going strong for years plowing snow, blah, blah, blah....but all this is off track and is very unfortunate that it appears that many just simply do not care if the MT industry gets off-shored or not.  But again, that is every individuals perogative to care or not to care and only someday when it affects you or someone you love personally will you ever truly understand!!  
They also track your location

because you cannot post anonymously anymore.  If you are using a proxy site you cannot post. 


Big Brother MTSO.


the posting is the exact same posting as you read on the
job seekers board. It is under state boards
no it doesn't track total for whole day
you have to do each document individually, but also keep in mind that it counts ALL lines, both typed and not typed. So be careful of that, if you aren't getting paid for blank lines.
You're exactly right! Oh, and please do not track me down at my personal
Big no-no. No-no.

Can companies track who you are on this board?

If you post a question/comment here about your company, if they wanted to know who you are, it is possible for them to track down who you are? 


Thanks


Maybe 45 minutes, didn't keep track though sm

wasn't bad in my opinion.  Pretty routine questions, the more you know off your head, the faster it goes and also if you keep the small talk down and get to business, doesn't take that long.


Well, now I'm curious. I have to track down who I worked for. I was

lines are REALLY hard to get. no way to keep track, you have to ASK for them. it's a pain and not

I'd keep track of my time and figure out my hourly (sm)
and go from there. It'll either be an hourly rate you're happy with or not, kwim?
I DO keep track, and work long hours, but only
If I say I can't do the minimum line count in 8 hours, they say I'm too slow. But if I eliminate quality (by not proofing or not correcting grammar, and just typing verbatim) then I hear about that, too. They just say to work harder, work faster.

The MTSO's only care about their precious TAT and volume. What we have to do to ourselves in order to accomplish THEIR goals is of no importance to them.

The only way it ever will be is if someday they happen to get put under a microscope like other fraudulent US businesses have, lately.

What I wouldn't give to see the fat-cats at AHDI up in front of Congress trying to explain themselves some fine day. Could happen.
Did not like. Slow, cumbersome, no way to track line counts.

Anyone hear of them? TIA!
sounds like Medquist keeping track of all times
my company does not do that
Keeps track of keystrokes and websites. Monitors you to make

Maybe they mean sign in and out for breaks etc to keep track of the 8 hours that you are to work. nm

Then we ALL need to start keeping track of our hours and anything that falls
below minimum wage - we need to start reporting these companies - don't care if this is caused only because of a decrease in starting VR or whatever causes it, no work, downtime if not paid, EVERYTHING included.  I do believe that might get the MTSOs attention.  They can't fire us all.  Looks like India MT situation might be in trouble so the MTSOs should be very cautious that perhaps they can't rely on offshore forever in the future.     
Does DQS track your time for payroll, or do we fill in our own timesheet on-line? nm

Haven't noticed - do you keep track of individual report counts?

You say you type 130 wpm but call yourself slow? I think you lost track of your story AnnSallie
Hope you are happy and glad if you are. I'm not following this anymore as it's getting a little old.
I suppose you have to write down the line count for every single document and it doesnt track them
for a total for the while day. That is what I was wondering.
