I calculate approximately $13/hour.
If $13.50 an hour sounds like a lot of money to you
Unions do nothing more than overpay uneducated unskilled laborers so they can milk dues out of them, and again I wouldn't be excited about $13.50 an hour, especially if I was a guy. Hardly Fortune 500 pay.
Expensive is right -- around $300 per credit hour! But they do have a good rep. Good luck! nm
Good for you. Sounds very interesting and a good chance of pace - sm
but I live in the northeast and not much need for that where I live. I also live in a small town so that limits my options. I have spent the last couple of years as a substitute teacher to supplement my MT job and just completed 4-1/2 months as a long term sub which I enjoyed and was a change of pace from MT. The only problem is as a sub or ed tech you only get paid during the school year so I would have to keep my MT job for summers and school vacations. With the way things are going in the MT world I hate to rely solely on that. I don't want to find myself without any job whatsoever.
Thanks for all the responses.
sorry, meant to say how can I calculate over
nm
if they still calculate words like they sm
did years ago, I always learned that 5 characters equals a word, then try that. 140 lines an hour, you want to at least try for 200, 250 or more is obviously better. You have to figure it out. How much do you make per line. If you are making 8 cents per line and typing 140 lines per hour then you are making 11.20 per hour. Is that what you want to make or can you make it easier by working for somebody else and getting paid by the hour? Thats a question you have to answer.
does anyone know how to calculate food
quantities for a party? i need to know how to calculate enough side dishes (like baked beans, hash brown casserole, etc). we will be ordering the main dish but trying to save money by doing the other stuff ourselves. right now there are about 80 people (about 95% are adults) on the guest list. thanks for any info! 
Depends on how they calculate
Sometimes they use an accrual system which means that even though you invoice in December and get paid in January they will accure that as a charge for 2006 so it could he higher than what you were anticipating. One of my accounts did that to me but I went by my calculations and never had a problem with the IRS. Now if they are 2000 less than what you feel you made, it might be because they calculated what you received in January of 2006 as being in 2005.
Hope that helps.
Another good one on Guru today. Pay is $25 per AUDIO hour.
With a 30-minute unpaid AUDIO test file. It sounds as if somebody got behind on their work and needs people to do it for free or minimum wage. Egads! What cheapos! I did an AUDIO hour tape this past weekend and made $100 off it. I could have charged more since it was a weekend stat but I gave the guy a break.
Maybe they did calculate the lines wrong,
but did we get a check or not???? And if we didn't would we have ever known??? No. So take your two cents or $130 or whatever the heck you got and shove it where the sun don't shine. I have thought about everything and I am still at Medquist and I like it. That is great that you quit, obviously you are a normal human being. If you think they are everything that you called them, by all means you are not the hypocrite here, but everybody else is.
My Eagles are losing right now, so my fury is soon going to be unleashed with a vengeance here. So, come on and post everyone. Bring it!!!!!
please help a math-dummy calculate
trying to figure cell phone plans (pay as you go type)....do i divide minutes by dollars, or dollars by minutes to get the cents per minute...
and more so, how does one know which way to divide other things of similar nature (not necessarily dollars vs minutes).
mega thanks .
How do you calculate lph into words per minute?
I know I transcribe an average of 200 lph, but how do you convert that to words per minute?
It was a $1 a mile, not hour! Made good noney back then. nm

bless your heart for thinking $10-12/hour is good money - nm
nm
Calculate your hourly rate for transcribing
and charge them that, i.e., if you normally do 200 lph at 8 cpl, charge them $16.00 an hour.
That's what I would do.
For IC MTs, when you pay your quarterly taxes that you calculate do you also add in the 15% social s
First time doing this.
A few years ago, Atlanta in-house average was about $12-$15/hour, plus good bennies. nm
By the way, as of about 5 years ago, Wellstar was with a service. They might not even have in-house MTs. Hope so for your sake :).
Is $15 an hour a good hourly rate for an in-house office position?
nm
sounds good then?
so this would be good for me as a beginner? Oh, please say this is perfect for me.
Sounds good. Thanks!
nm
Sounds good to me. Take it and run.

That sounds good!

sounds good thanks
Nothing sounds good.
My culinary creativity is wiped out lately. Last night, it was fish sticks because the kids didn't like DH's BBQ ribs. Maybe sub sandwiches... I'd have to go to the store to get some deli meat, cheese, poor boy rolls and chips, but that sounds kinda good.
Sounds good to me, I have not been anywhere - sm
alone with my husband in about 18 months, unless you count quickies when the kids are asleep. I'd kill just for a night out, dinner, whatever without the kids, tried to talk him into this week since its my birthday (the big 40)....but he wants to take the kids with us....I love them to pieces but a few hours to ourselves would be nice. At this rate it will not happen for another 12.5 years. Fun.
MMM sounds good!
Everything sounds so good right now. Maybe the garlic will help keep colds at bay!
mmm sounds good..... sm
What time shall I be there? LOL
Sounds good. Let's all do it!
dd
Sounds good to me to.

OK, that sounds good. sm
I was under the impression that the main board was meant as a place to discuss a little bit of everything, and that's why I was so confused about why the posts regarding gas usage were removed. I don't understand how that was considered a "political" discussion, because there really wasn't much of anything about politics even mentioned. Thanks for your time.
Sounds good to me
I would say most people make around 9 to 10 cpl with acute care and ESL's. That is a lot of lph. If I type for an hour straight without breaks I average 230 lph
That sounds good too, LOL. nm

Sounds good, but they ...
still involve beef, pork, fish, chicken...thanks anyway.
I guess there is no way around those meat choices, so may be asking the impossible.
I have never made sheperd's pie so maybe that's an option.
thank you.:)
Sounds Good Too
I'll keep this recipe for the next time.
This sounds really good nm
ss
Thanks - sounds good - I'm going to try it.
Well that sounds good.
That sounds good. The unmatched SS tax the last time I was an IC, I am still trying to pay. Good for you.
that sounds like a good
idea if you and sonn get that working and start to make them, I would like to know if price is not expensive.
Sounds good to me, especially for a
doctor's office, doing one speciality. You will probably have holidays off. You'll love that.
Wow. sounds good!
let us know how it works out. I just got an ergonomic keyboard. maybe I purchase the wrong thing here :)
That sounds all good, but none of us are
Sorry to say, but mistakes will be made. We are only human. Sorry to hear you have no life other than MT. I have to say though that there are some great MTs out there that also attend sporting events and can produce quality reports, one being myself. I commend you for being so dedicated, but after all, this is just a job like any other no matter where you do it whether it be in an office or a "home" office.  JMHO.
That sounds all well and good
needs 6 weeks off for surgery or wants 2 weeks of vacation time. Who will do the work? Do you then train p.r.n. employees or IC's. I am also all for employee status, but you must admit as a human we do get sick and do need vacations. If the office has no qualms with a 6-week back-up or a 2-week back-up, then so be it. The nationals offer the fact that the work gets done no matter if Susie Q is on vacation or Betty Jo has to go out for gallbladder surgery. Can we as employees at home compete with that? Doubt it. That is the first thing my supervisor told me where I worked for 17 years and decided to resign because I knew they were planning to outsource and wasn't going to "help them" is that we won't have to worry about vacations or sick time or short-term disability claims due to someone needing surgery. The work will get done and in a timely manner. JMO.
sounds good
I was doing office notes and it took me about 8 hours to do 1 side of a tape, print, etc.
Sounds like a good
deal for you then! Good luck!
Sounds good to me too!
I wouldn't mind typing up a novel - -something different for a change..
Sounds Good
This sounds like something I might try, though have many places of reference. It just seems like none are really fast when it comes down to it.
Quite a few people were recently stating that they know how to spell all the terms, etc., so I was thinking that maybe they had a good learing technique aside from a way to reference information.
Someone did mention writing the words down, but I already take notes of things I want to look up (unclear spots, etc.) while I am working. I don't think I have time to write all the terms I have to look up too. (There is so much I don't know!)
Think I will try your idea though. You never know which method might work much better! - Thanks again.
$25 sounds good me, sm
only kidding. You might want to check with those who transcribe for court reporters and also insurance transcribers, they might be by the hour.
sounds good on paper.
but absolutely makes no sense in applying it in the real world.
do you have any idea how good this sounds??!
nm
sounds good. is this only for employees?
While all of what you said sounds good in theory...sm
and I used to agree withyou, in this real world of MT, we are just typing peons, that are almost disposable... not appreciated and expected to do nonproductive work, not complain, and sit w/o work many days... so in the real world, if we don't jump through the hoops, we just don't have the work, plain and simple as that.
