In Reply to: What companies pay for spaces, headers and footers? - mt

but I am not sure about headers and footers. I don't think so, but I can't remember. and they have very few ESL - at least on two accounts they did.

Does Diskriter pay for headers and footers, as well as spaces and returns? OR - sm

do they pay for just spaces and returns??


Thanks


VBC - visible black character - no spaces, returns,
It reduces your pay by about 30%, because you still have to hit the spacebar and return even though you are not paid for it. 
QED pays for spaces
I work there (both as recruiter and MT). Most accounts are 65 cpl and on all accounts MTs are paid for spaces.
Can anyone tell me if Amphion pays for spaces
and headers and footers?  Is their software productive and what kind of Expander do they use?  Thanks.  Considering a move there.
Anyone know if Transtech pays for spaces?
Thanks in advance!
Two platforms; one pays spaces other does not (sm)

Was told both platforms average out about the same per line; platform without spaces pays a higher rate than the one with spaces.  After privately emailing prior and current employees, I was told both platforms hard to make line count.  One MT after being there for a year quit do to line counts not adding up fast enough.  They do pay for headers and footers although it did not impact the line rate as much as they claim (up to 11 lines a report).  Top pay on both platforms average out top pay at around 8 to 8.5 cents.  Benefit package okay but nothing to brag about as far as medical insurance cost.  Flexibility so-so.


Diskriter or Medquist? Who pays better? sm...
what benefits does Diskriter offer.  MQ offers some pretty good benefits.  Anybody with any info on which company is better to go with, please post.  TIA
Diskriter pays on time
Diskriter has been in business for a long time. It is an established professional organization.
TransHealth pays for spaces & headers on a 65 character line. sm
I recommend them highly.  Stable company, good platform, great benefits.  I'm happy there.
Update: Phoenix MedCom has two platforms; one pays spaces; one does not.
I noticed a post from last week that stated the old policy. The clients on the older platform stayed there, so the pay is 9 or 10 cpl without spaces, but headers and footers. The new platform is 8 cpl with spaces. Our MTs who transcribe on both platforms say their pay is the same day in and day out...Try us out...we aren't running out of work daily! Thanks
Of course TransTech pays for spaces and they have a easy to get bonus structure.
I make as much as I did at the hospital, because of the bonus structure, retroactive to line 1. They pay for spaces and expanders, and they have ops normals too. Just wanted to put an FYI so people think TT does not pay for spaces, of course they do. You can make a lot per line with the structure and also differential and bonuses almost every weekend at TT.
Diskriter pays hourly wage for downtime

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

I got a new job but it pays less. nm

QA pays much much less than MT

MQ pays its MTs less than
cleaning ladies make. Believe me, there are many other jobs out there that will give you better than the pittance (and bad treatment) MQ has to offer. You deserve better. Don't settle for MQ's nonsense.

MDI pays 9-11 cpl.

My VR pays at
4 cents a line. I really hate to see that places are going even lower than that. My platform is an excellent one and if not for that would never be able to make the $20+ per hour pay that I make. It is so unresonable for these places to just cut pay to the bone. How will anyone be able to make any kind of living if this keeps on? From what I have seen over the years, VR has never gotten to the point where it can be on its own and by reducing the scale of pay, pretty soon companies will see MTers dropping like flies instead of doing their work.
OSi ALWAYS pays on time!
In all the time I have worked there they have never been delinquent.
That's TransHealth that pays that way. nm

I would not go with a company that pays so low
and lies about stuff
keystrokes pays, are they......

On time?  I do hope so !  Just because we work at home, some of these companies think, for some reason, that we will do the work (and it is a REAL job) for no pay.  We ought to have the RIGHT to do that to them !



Employee pays ALL?
At my current company I only pay $75 per month - company pays rest. Sounds a bit odd, I must agree.
Almost every company pays more
Just pick any other company and apply.
Transolutions pays 100.00 for every sm
year that you are employed. Otherwise, they don't pay squat.
Who do you work for that pays
pays per minute?
Does anyone know who pays QA hourly? sm
I need a QA job that will pay me hourly, so if you have any leads, send them my way. :)
MQ pays QA by the hour.

Is it true that RIU pays 5 cpl for MTs? How do they keep them? sm

I have heard that they act real nice but are back stabbers too. 


I had a friend who was an MT with them and she stayed because they intimideated her into staying, told her that she would fail elsewhere.  Do they treat all their employees as slaves?


Sad.  P, my friend, said that they profess to be a good fine Christian company and then cheat, lie, and stab you behind your back?


Sad.

Anyone know what TransTech pays?
I saw their ad, but they don't having anything about starting cpl rate.  I have been a MT for 10+ years and don't want to waste my time testing with this company if they don't pay well.  Thanks!
Does anyone know what Keystrokes pays for RAD? (sm)

Is it still only $1.25 per page?  Or is it by line.  Need more up to date info.  Please!


who pays per report??

Can anyone tell me what companies pay per report for radiology and which ones have Meditech?  Thanks.


So where might you work? My co pays 6.5.
I'm not putting that down. I believe all MT work is equal. The companies do not seem to feel the same way.
Does anyone know how Transcend pays out
Their $1000 sign-on bonus?  Thanks so much!
Transcend pays still
one day, 4 hours with trainer = $60.00
It pays to take a "pay cut" sometimes
I made -good money- at my old MT job but in return for the -good money- I had to tolerate unqualified superiors whose arrogance and abuse would not be tolerated in most places. I stayed in the hot seat with those people for stupid reasons and none of it because of things I personally did wrong. I would not leave for a long time because I thought I could never make the same amount of money anywhere else and besides I was honestly too lazy to want to start over again. Finally though I had enough, my husband had enough, my kids had enough of my whining but never taking steps to get myself out of that situation.

I took what I thought would be a -pay cut- with another company but it turned out that my current facility is 10 times easier and the supervisors are actually qualified to supervise me. I could not be happier. I make more money even with a bit of a -pay cut- because I'm not constantly on mandatory phone calls for problems unrelated to me personally, plus spending time reading pointless emails. The line incentives help too. My account is so much easier, my supervisors leave me alone to do my work, and my family is happy at dinnertime.

Forget the cpl rate because alot of the time it is tied in to a bad company that is forced to pay so much because they can't keep good MT's. If you are in a similar situation to mine, stop whining, get off your lazy butt and find a company that pays you -maybe less- but will turn out to be more and that respects you and gives you good accounts.

Who pays the best for VR work?

Which companies pay the best for VR work?  What schedules do they require you to work?  Do they have benefits?  I have 2 children to support so I need to have a dependable work also.  Thanks in advance


 


MQ pays 70% of your MT rate. More than anyone else.

MQ pays the highest, but that's because

they give you so many different accounts to learn all the instructions for.  Some have as many as 20 to 30 new accounts per day.  It's not worth it.  Are you sure you really need to learn VR?  I'd stick to straight transcription.  It pays way better.
