What company isn't paying spaces?
What Editscript company stopped paying for spaces? Confused?
They do not pay for spaces. Other aspects of company seem good. nm

Isn't Cymed a company that also doesn't pay for spaces? nm

Paid for spaces depends on the account. Good company. nm

I agree, if you went to work knowing full well that the company paid 7 cpl no spaces
why on Earth did you accept the job?
Wonderful company, but you type letters and look up addresses and you do not get paid for spaces nm
nm
depends on work type, experience, spaces, company, area

From my experience, it is all in how the company sets it up to count i.e. footers, headers, spaces
etc.. I work on another platform but I noticed the same thing when I worked for a company and it would me 12 hours to get 1000 lines, and at the time, I had nothing to compare it to. Then, I thought..this is just wrong. Working 12 hours to make $80 is ridiculous so I quite. I went to work for another company...same platform... and routinely do 1500 to 2000 lines a day and I can tell the difference. You know when you do a whole page report and all you end up with is at the max 40 lines.. something is wrong. I'd say keep the best paying and dump the rest. They are obviously shorting you somewhere.
I think most places pay for spaces. I work for TransTech and they pay for both spaces
as well as punctuation. I would never work for an MTSO that doesn't.
65 with spaces versus 65 without spaces; how to calculate?
Can someone tell me if you are getting 9 cents per 65-character line with spaces how much you would need to be paid per line to make the same amount per line if you are offered a ''65-character line without spaces?'' Thank you very much
So, if not spaces paid, what cpl would be comparable to at least 9 cpl w/spaces, do you know??
Thanks.
All compaines count lines different--with spaces, without spaces, headers or no headers, 65 characte
a line, 75 characters, etc. I would ask each of them how they count their lines. Sometimes the way lines are counted does not make a company worth working for.
54 without spaces = 65 with spaces if you do the math nm

$.08 w/spaces vs. $.09-.10 w/o spaces
Would you make about the same, i.e., $.08 with spaces versus $09-10 without spaces? Just wondering. Thanks.
They do not MTs for spaces. nm

spaces
I asked them about this specifically and they said that wasn't the case. I'm half tempted to have THEM sign a contracted stating everything they are telling me is true.....Lisa
Spaces!
 SoftScript just announced that they are paying for spaced again as of today!
but, did they tell you when the took the spaces away
before. Nice to give them back and admit they took them. Believe it when you see it.

Do most companies pay for spaces? Are spaces included in the standard 65 character count? Thanks
I know they pay for spaces,
I assumed they were paying the headers and footers, but I never specifically asked, so I can't say for sure.
They don't pay for spaces though
nm
They pay .07 without spaces....
I applied when they first posted the job on MT Jobs. I received an email stating they only paid .07 cpl without spaces. They probably got a lot of resumes but once people found out the low pay, nobody was interested, which is probably why they are hiring again.
No spaces
If you negotiate a better line rate, along with their excellent platform, being paid for headers, and not running out of work, then I just don't get what the big deal is with spaces versus without. With spaces for less money doesn't cut it either. The bottom line is whether you are able to make a fair wage or not and I have found Cymed to be very fair.
Looks like they DO pay for spaces
CTech prefers to us the Net Line (defined below), however we will also price per visual black character and per report. For more information please see our Billing section.
I copied this from the site:
Price per NET/ASCII Line CTech defines a NET/ASCII Line as 65 printable alpha/numeric characters and spaces (no more than two consecutive spaces). ASCII table codes 13 (hard carriage return, only when needed) and 32-125 only. No fixed headers or footers are counted. The pitch and font style are defined by the client and do not impact the price per line. Attributes such as bolded letters, italics, and underlined characters are not charged. The total number of characters divided by 65 is the line count for the document.
They do pay for spaces. It says so right in the ad
They definitely do. I have an interview with them on Monday.
spaces
I was told they did but maybe it depends on the account. I've been with them for over a year and I can tell you, I'm a damn happy camper. Plenty of work, some challenging, but good, good people to work for. I'm IC and pay my own hospitalization, but what's the kick about that? You work to pay for it anyplace else and they call it a benefit. We all worked at MQ or anywhere else for benefits. I'm making over $1000 a week. I can work as much or as little, but I figure if I can't set aside some money to pay for my PTO, then I'm a pretty sorry manager. To me the taxes are no big deal. I'd rather earn a good paycheck, pay my own taxes and hospitalization than work for a company like MQ and I was there for 8 years.
They don't pay for SPACES ask them. nm

Do they pay for spaces?
Do they pay for spaces? Do they have a lot of ESLs?
No spaces
In my case, the line rate was higher than what was offered at the other services I talked to who did pay for spaces. Additionally, Cymed pays for headers which can offset some of that, along with a very efficient platform. For me, what I am averaging an hour has been comparable to other companies who paid for spaces.
Spaces or No spaces
Not sure what to do. I currently have two job offers. One is 65 cpl with spaces and the other is 65 cpl without spaces but with headers. Not sure which one to take. They are both offering the same amount of money. Which is better?
No spaces
Wondering what experienced MTs who are willing to work on a 65 character line without spaces think is a fair line rate to compensate for the counting method. Supposedly no spaces equals approximately 20%.
No Spaces
For the MTs who do not get paid for spaces, do you ever feel like all you ever get is long reports? Really feel like I am spinning my wheels lately. Getting paid for headers doesn't really offset much when every report is long.
TT DOES pay for spaces - huh?
NM
Does MQ pay for spaces?
Does MQ pay for spaces?
MDI-MD. Do they pay for spaces and ... sm
can someone tell me the pros and cons of this company. I have generally read good things but most are pretty old. Would especially be interested in their pay scale and whether or not they pay for spaces, the types of accounts and platform, scheduling, etc. Thanks!
Spaces
If you work on the internet platform accounts ,you are paid for spaces. If you work on Lanier accounts, you are not paid for spaces, but it is configured to be equal.
don't pay for spaces
not worth getting out of bed to work for that line rate
Spaces
Would you stay away from a company that doesn't pay spaces? I am thinking about applying to a company that does not pay for spaces and just wanted your opinons.
TIA
Spaces
Yeah, it sucks. I've worked for places that don't pay spaces, and it makes it hard to make good money.
spaces
We have accounts that pay for both spaces and without spaces. We have volume bonuses as well. I have worked on all accounts and with the rates of pay, they average out to be the same, with or without spaces.
Spaces and pay
I have been working for a certain company mentioned here for quite a while now... and I thought it was ME until I saw these. I type 2:1 and my quality is near 99%. I have struggled and struggled to get a decent paycheck. It has been a year in which I am bringing home 400.00 a paycheck every payperiod for 10,000 lines a payperiod after medical insurance is taken out.. yes that is 200.00 a week and that is for over 9 cents a line.
I thought I was losing my mind. I saw my statistics. I was the girl who did 20,000 lines a payperiod and made 2,000. a payperiod and took home 1200.00 after insurance. Now it is 400.00. So, either I'm not being paid for something, spaces, word expanders, and the insurance costs too much, or something... All this time, paid what 4.5 a line? Uggg.
They do not pay for spaces
and they work with WP5.1. IMO if a company does not want to pay for spaces, then they will not get spaces. Iwouldjusttypeeverythingalltogetherandletthemhavesomeoneelseputinthespaces.
They most definitely pay for spaces

yes they pay for spaces, I believe it is two.

Do they pay for spaces
Looking for info regarding if DeVenture pays for spaces or not. Couldn't find anything on their website about this. Thanks.
Another way of saying does not pay for spaces.

55 without spaces
I personally think spaces should be counted as characters. It is a keystroke just like hitting a letter. 55 characters without spaces to me would equal out about the same as 65 characters with spaces.
Does TT pay for spaces?

I did ask if they pay for spaces sm
I wanted to know, because of course some companies don't pay for spaces. I refuse to work for companies who don't pay for spaces, so I can cross them off my list.
