Actually latin for "per day"...

What a fancy way of putting it. This could also be for travel. I once had a company call to hire MTs that could go on the road to facilities that had people out or needed to catch up, etc., like Kelly girls, but it was not them. They worked like an employement agency but guaranteed a nice hourly amount plus expenses per day, hence per diem.

Table in latin...
There is simply no one prevailing characteristic of Mensa members other than high IQ. There are Mensans for whom Mensa provides a sense of family, and others for whom it is a casual social activity. There have been many marriages made in Mensa, but for many people, it is simply a stimulating opportunity for the mind. Most Mensans have a good sense of humor, and they like to talk. And, usually, they have a lot to say.
Mensans range in age from 4 to 94, but most are between 20 and 60. In education they range from preschoolers to high school dropouts to people with multiple doctorates. There are Mensans on welfare and Mensans who are millionaires. As far as occupations, the range is staggering. Mensa has professors and truck drivers, scientists and firefighters, computer programmers and farmers, artists, military people, musicians, laborers, police officers, glassblowers--the diverse list goes on and on. There are famous Mensans and prize-winning Mensans, but there are many whose names you wouldn't know.

Thanks all. I'll defer to my higher-ups and see what they want. At least now I can validate it. S

"Per page rate for x-ray"
Can someone tell me what the going pay rate is per page for x-ray reports? Thank you
I saw the "per" recommendation over at MT911, emailed my QA and never heard back ... about BOS
I had all my frequencies formatted as
q. 6h.
Then noticed they were being changed to
q.6 h.
Searched my BOS and found one ... very marginal (an exampled within antother entry) citation ...
Sure -- I want to do it the right way ... if only I could know what the "right way" was ...
It would be infinitely easier if some sort of "rationale" or reason for this-not-that were given.
Whatever.
oil field pers a "per diem" which is a set amt of money they get to show up for work that day,

Forget "per line." Your take-home pay should be taking home SM
roughly what it was before. If it is not, is it because your current pay rate for editing (which in many companies keeps changing as the VR system is developed) is too low or is it because your talents and skills are more for speed typing than speed editing?
If the first, discuss it with higherups, and go get a new job if you don't get the response you need. My last MTSO was secretly refiguring how production was counted to pay us less. I can accept hard reality, it was the secrecy that burned. Sometimes, though, it's just that the learning curves of individual editors and that of the system aren't in sync, and you end up temporarily making less.
If the second, though, recognize it as soon as possible and change to straight transcription work, in your company or a new one, for as long as you can find it.
As for why we aren't paid more for a higher skill, that's just the way the labor supply ball bounces. Best wishes.
