In Reply to: The mentoring program does not pay 8-1/2 cents per line. Believe it is like 6 cents. - What a mess!
and they will get me in the promotion for the QA department. They said that they like to give the jobs to the new girls because it is exciting and they are right about excitement. I think it just helps to know the right people and I really do appreciate it. They are all so friendly. And the operations lady and in charge of radiology is Pepper, and Flo is the manager of QA. Just call them and they can give you more information about pay etc. The phone number is 1-866-552-1515

Base rates with National incluidng shift differential. Smaller - base rate 11 cpl. nm

I don't think 9.5 cpl is a low base rate.
I like DQS so far. I'm doing pretty good. Of course, I'm still learning my docs and putting in expansions but I'm doing about 240 to 260 lines an hour. I think that is pretty good for just getting started with them.
I don't care what other people make on their base rate, or how many lines they type. I have to pay for my living expenses and not theirs.
HOWEVER, that is base rate
Transtech pays more for evening, more for nights, more for weekends, plus they have a tiered plan. The more lines you type the more you make. You can start out making 10 cpl if you are good and are not lazy. You also get extra for not sending a bunch of stuff to QA.
No need to add  when you don't state all the facts.
base rate.... my thoughts
I find it hard to believe you were STARTED at 9.5 cpl. I have been there 8 years, just asked for a raise, and they told me no because I was at 9 cpl already! (like that's something great!) So if in fact you were started at 9.5 cpl, what's up with that? Something sure doesn't seem right here, but I'm waiting to see what this new pay plan is about, and if it doesn't set well with me, bye, bye MQ!
the 2 top nat'ls pay 1.5 base rate
is that what you mean?
No, they pay 80% of your MT base line rate.
nm
Yeah, but if you don't mind a low BASE rate!

Poll: What % of base rate does your company pay for ME?
MQ - 70% of base rate for ME.
Oops, I'm now getting 0.1075 base rate.

To those who chirp in about TransTech's base rate
There is a base rate, but everyone gets more than that. There are FOUR additions to that depending on shift, weekend work, QA percentage, and line count (which alone can be as much as 1 cpl going back to line 1) - FOUR additions on top of the base rate. If you don't work for TT you have no business chirping in. You get paid OT for holidays whether you are scheduled or not. You rotate Thanksgiving and Christmas, never both in one year. I have been around the MTSO block. Transtech is the BEST. Period.
For Escription I think 4 to 4.5 base rate, which seems to be on the high
end of the scale that companies pay for Escription editing. Hope that helps.
What it the base rate for acute care?
Would love to the price of family coverage insurance. TIA
And the Webmedx pay cut is 37.5% reduction from base rate.
***** Your base transcription rate x 0.625.
I am not aware that MQ is starting people at the base rate.
:
You my dear are most certainly the exception to the rule because MQ does not pay that base rate to
start people and give them 11.5 cents after 16,000 lines.
I honestly dont think MQ would pay everyone a base rate of 9.50 even on the new pay plan because
they hire a lot of new inexperienced people and a lot of people do clinic versus critical care etc etc. People have been making on 8 and 9 cents a line for years and they have refused raises why would they all of a sudden given people a base rate of 9.50. Find that hard to believe unless they are going to throw everything on ASR and then reduce your income by 2 or 3 cents a line. Hard to say.
Going rate today between 7-8.5 cpl, 9 cpl if lucky. nm

I left MQ for TT. The base line rate was less at TT, but overall I make more per line with the
shift differential (I work second shift) and the incentive plan (I have never once failed to make at least an extra half cent per line on incentives - most of the time a penny). I was scared to death to make that move, as I had been with MQ since back in the Transcriptions Limited days. I have to say, though, that it was the best career move I have ever made and I have never, not once, regretted it.
I hope that was of some help.
Aren't MTSOs the owners? Well if owners of MT companies
don't want to work for that MTSO. There should be some idea of what is coming at us.
The "former owners" are the current owners. QT has not been sold (sm)
and I was told it will not be sold and is trying to get new accounts.
Former QT owners? I thought they were original owners

Lucky You ... I was not so lucky to work with that platform
Meditech - it was awful. I kept getting promised that my account was going to ChartMatrix, but it never happened and the Meditech system was SO slow. I loved TH, the people, etc. - so if you can get an account that is on ChartMatrix - hop on it. But, avoid the accounts that are on Meditech because I don't think they are EVER going to convert (and I waited quite awhile - couldn't take it any more).
I think that they were the owners but not very
friendly. The other services seemed to be having fun but they did not. Makes you wonder what's going on ?????
owners are not MTs.

owners
are nice but the voice files are very hard to hear! Pay is on time as well. I had to use express scribe to transcribe.
You do know that the owners
of MSJ are accountants? (Unless they sold the place sometime in the last few years.) There really shouldn't be any problems with payroll since they are bean counters by trade.
Owners are not MTs and they have

SE...0.095 cpl base...
I can earn up to 2 cpl extra if I type at least 16,000 lines in a payperiod.
I have to type a minimum of 6000 lines in a payperiod.
I am happy with this.
Base is very low
But they talk about incentives! Ah yes, incentives. Only now an incentive is being FORCED to work off hours, weekends, late nights, etc., to make decent money. Apparently MTing has now turned to settling. Do you want benefits, then low pay. Decent hours, then low pay. BUT be an IC and we'll throw you a whole penny more cause you get nothing else of course!
5 yrs ago I got 9 base from them.
It is probably one of the OSi owners posting
yeehaw
Right on! Too bad more supes and owners don't - (sm)
check out this website and see what the world of MT is REALLY like. Most of 'em are too busy shopping for that new Lexus or other expensive bauble to know or even care what life is like for the folks that have to work under them. It's kind of funny, where I used to work they had a very hard time attracting new hires, and even retaining the old pros they already had! (Word DOES get out, doesn't it?) Especially now that we have amazing networking & communication tools like the Internet and MT Stars. If I were a manager in charge of MTs, you better believe that I would care how they viewed their jobs, and how my organization looked to others, and I would be reading the med. transcription websites. I now work for a company that you never see discussed in a derrogatory manner on this board, and in fact that had a lot to do with why I chose to work for them, rather than the many companies you read about in here. So MT managers, start treating your employees like the money-makers they are, instead of like dirt, and watch your companies (and your profits) grow.
The owners of MW are all in FL, so how is this true? sm
The owners are 1 family, all in FL. If someone is in new hampshire, she can't be one in the same as medware. I don't know how Medware could give anyone any work, there's no work for the employees.
PMT and Keystrokes owners
Thank you so much for the clarification! Jill was great to work for and very knowledgeable about transcription. I saw Yorkville and wondered if she owned Keystrokes. Now, I know how to get in touch with her to say HI!
LER stands for the owners name....
xx
Yes, the owners are accountants,
but I had mistakes in my pay and the line counter cheated, i'm sure of it........
Yes, however, the owners of the company
also have the freedom to do with their money as they see fit. Even though they could put it back into the company or give a raise to their employees, there is no law that says they have to do so. Waste or not, it is their money.
Once again you are way off base. I can only speak for myself
and about 20 other people who left OSi a little while back and we are all doing great, couldn't be happier, all working for a great company with awesome people. To be quite honest with you....you are our entertainment!
If things were so good at OSi you wouldn't be on here trying to draw MTs in for them. OSi is over, face it punkin!
What is their base pay, Diskriter?
Anyone work for them now know their base rate of pay? 12 cpl sounds reasonable to me. 
That is the BASE ... you get EXTRA for
shift differential, weekend differential, QA percentage differential, and line differential - FOUR on top of the base rate. If you don't work for TT you have no business chirping in. You get paid for holidays whether you are scheduled or not. You rotate Thanksgiving and Christmas, never both in one year. I have been around the MTSO block. Transtech is the BEST. Period.
A whole 2 cpl above base?? You must be rolling in

I would not base my decision on
what this board has to say. These boards are used as a place to vent. It doesn'the matter where you work, some people will be unhappy. I have worked for Transend for over 2 years and the only complaint I have is that the insurance is not what I would like to see. It is quite high and the deductibles are quite high.
Use your own judgement. If you would rather do E-Bay, by all means that is what you should do. Personally I do not like the packaging, mailing, posting, leaving feedback and everything that goes with each transaction. Too much to keep track of.
You are way off base lady
I have worked with Holocaust survivors, have you? Ive worked cleaning their rooms taking people for walks, holding hands, listening to stories of horror and hope, shared art therapy moments, given hugs and support. Dont you dare judge me. You are way out of line, whoever you are. If you get nothing else from what I've written here, get this: No one wants to be labeled a victim. You have absolutely no right.
Peace.
BASE at TT might be 4 cpl but if that's ALL you make
What with all the built-in incentives and bonuses, etc., and you're only making BASE pay, that's the MTs problem, not TT's problem. They certainly provide ample monetary incentive to do above and beyond the minimum.
for MQ STAT employees tier rate applies to ME rate as well and how calcluated?
for a STAT MQ employee: Does anyone know if the tier rate is going to be applied to the ME rate as well or are they going to go with the 80% of the MT rate for each tier level? If the tier rate doesn't apply as well to the ME rate then going by the 80% of the MT rate is less than if the tier rate would be applied. I'm sure that MQ is going to go by whatever keeps money in their pockets. Guess this is a question for the supervisor tomorrow.
If the owners name is Lisa please see message
She is a really nice person, runs a great company and pay is always on time. Wish I would have stayed working for her. Probably one of the only jobs I regret not sticking with.
Probably because the board owners don't need to deal with
hostile emails or lawsuit threats from peeved off people. One MTSO threatened to sue me and MTstars when I posted the truth about their documented unfair business practices.
MS in FL has owners who are control freaks and whatever happens
There is one person there (still after 4 years) who would sell you down the river if he thought it would make him look better to the owners but tell you to your face how wonderful you are, unless you have the putzvah to politely debate the issue. Then his boxing gloves come out and the verbal abuse begins. It really is slave labor there. I've been in the office, I've talked with the owners. I know things will never change there unless they start losing clients, but the clients they currently have are so grateful ANYONE will transcribe their reports, they STAY with MS!
And that, my dear, is why nothing changes at MS in FL.
You won't see some of the bigger ones here. I know for a fact that the owners of sm
KS do not come on here anymore. I went to one of them a few weeks ago, and she told me not to get worked up about the posts on here, that not every company is for every person, just just like every MT is not a good fit for every company.
I just emailed her with the request put here today, and she responded that she would not answer any posts on here; every time in the past that she did, things were twisted around and turned ugly, both with the bashers and the cheerleaders, that MTs with questions should contact the companies directly.
She also asked me if I needed more work as I seem to spend a lot of time obsessing about these posts, which really threw me for a few seconds. On thinking about it, she's right.
Ask Accupro. The owners of that company
