    • as long as I meet my TAT - Linda
  • Most companies need certain hours - MTbird
    • as far as needing certain hours that would conflict with IRS - rules for IC versus employee
      • IC cannot be told I need you to work between 1 and 5 but they can say I need these lines by - X o'clock. IC says yes or no. nm
        • That was my point :) - NM
    • Most companies... - Linda
      • Must be a small company. 1000 lines/day is not that impressive. nm - NoFighting
        • I think it depends on how long it took... - HMMM
        • there is a midsized company with 900 lines a day - but heavy producers can't get large
          • Balancing act - Find your size company
        • WHy should I care if you are impressed or not. It it suits me, I don't give a darn if anyone - else is impressed. nm
        • Must be a small company - Linda
    • There are still companies that need your work by a certain - deadline and it's up to you to get it
      • But could you just not turn on computer that day and NOT do the work. Or could you call and say - weren't going to work that day and they were ok
        • I could call and say - Linda
          • Yes, but if you called off suddenly a couple times a month because you just didn't feel like - working, you would be unemployed. nm
            • I could call and say - Linda
        • yes I could but if I already said I would accept work, I don't - do that very often or will find myself
          • Exactly! MTSO needs a consistent IC that she can count on. Take off now and then but you - have to be dependable. nm
        • I think this could only be done with a huge client base, or a huge number of say only - discharge reports. nm
  • SM - anon
    • Good Companies - Linda
  • MT is a job, not a hobby that you just do when and how much you want. How do you expect an MTSO - to run a business under those conditions? nm
    • There are companies that manage to make it work. OTI, for example. nm - MT
    • I worked when and how much I wanted for years - sm
      • Thank you. nt - Good Sense
      • MT is a job, not a hobby... - Linda
        • Your OP "where I can work when and how much I want". How did you think we would - take such a statement? nm
      • MTSOs need to know the work is going to be done consistently. Not just when someone feels like - turning on their computer. nm
        • Considering some companies do give a weekly quota, maybe you shouldn't speak - for all MTSOs. ?? yes?
        • Ok then - MTSOs need to get intelligent enough to figure out how to - PREPARE for the work flow, and plan and hire
          • Walk in my shoes - Patti
            • Shouldn't you be factoring that into the bid and making accommodations for - that to happen in the bid and the cost?
              • Sure, factor it in, but no one knows what the future holds and MTSO has no control over those - issues. nm
          • MTSOs have no control over the factors that would make this - possible. nm
            • Aren't MTSOs the owners? Well if owners of MT companies - are not working up a bid, then I
              • The bid has nothing to do with consistancy of work. MTSO cannot control how cosistant work is. - Only facilities and Drs. control that. nm
          • Perfect MT world - MT is not a hobby
    • MT is a job - Linda
      • I apologize if I sounded rude to you - MTbird
        • MT is a job - Linda
          • MT is work not hobby - Is this what you meant?
            • It does work for some companies. OTI is one. Please - MT
              • placed=place (typo police abound). nm - MT
    • I was told to think of it as a career. - wow
    • I wish there was an icon that shows cartwheels and pom-poms!! I agree. Why - MTSO
      • And why do MTSOs treat ICs as employees? nm - MT
      • Toughest hobby I ever had. - anon
        • Good companies - Crabby
          • So what are you saying? - PTMT
            • IC - Crabby
              • Okay, well, I still don't think - PT IC

obligations to each company it isn't anyone's business what you do. 

When you sign a contract with a company rarely is there a clause about not working for oneone else, only a noncomplete clause.

Now if you are using their equipment for the other company I see a major issue with that, maybe not illegal, but certainly not ethical.  I

and I worked a few extra hours on my days off to try to get more lines, but there wasn't much work then either. 

I am working all the time editing/fixing and trying to remember all the rules for each account.  I do not see with the way the platform is ever being able to make the amount needed to keep my insurance, and they have already extended my insurance for me before.  I thought when I started doing more editing I might be able to get more lines, but then I would have to do double the lines, and with the way the reports are looking when I see them there is too much fixing to ever get there.  It looks like when the computer does not know what the doctor is saying in plain English it just types whatever it wants.  It is actually amusing how it comes up with a whole sentence of unrelated words.

8 cpl if you do not.  After the 6 pay periods, if you become an employee, then the rates change.  I think 10 cpl then was only for 3rd shift. 

I just wanted a part-time position, but the 10 cpl sounded rather attractive.  Of course, it doesn't matter how much someone pays if you don't have the work or can't make the lines. 

Thanks again for your input.  We'll see if I even passed the test. 

(I believe it is 11,000 for full-timers), there are levels for every x number of lines above your minimum,and you get extra cpl for those lines.  It is incremental, so the more you transcribe above your minimum, the higher your cpl.  It can boost your paycheck by $500 if you really haul.  They also pay a weekend differential of extra cpl for weekend work.

I think most companies work that way.  Bonus pay is usually an increase in cpl when you exceed your minimum. 

I've not had much experience with incentive pay prior to TransHealth - so there may be many other ways that bonus pay is given.  Works for me though.
