that rate? Sometimes that's where the real money is.
Also, is there potential for an increase in the future?
Radiology is very repetitive and if you're proficient with abbreviation expanders, you can do fine on that rate.

MT production incentives
I'm doing an MT class project and need to know this: when a Transcriptionist is paid and hourly wage plus production incentive, HOW MUCH is the incentive (generally)? I've had trouble getting this info so far. BTW, the project concerns an in-house transcription department. I appreciate any help - even educated guesses! :)
Incentives for Editors
Hello,
What are the kind of incentives provided for non-exempt employees paid by the hour - is it by number of reports or length (minutes) of reports edited?
Thanks,

Exactly what type of incentives are given?
After working for the same company for some time now and knowing 0.085 is the most they will pay, no matter how good or how long you've been there, I have been researching the job boards. I have seen "incentives" being offered along with the usual line rate, and have read on this board of others making GREAT annual incomes WITH their incentives. I am curious, what type of incentives are being offered out there?? Thanks!!
Remember incentives?
Yeah, I started out in 1988 and worked hourly, can't remember, but I'm sure it was low ON A TYPEWRITER WITH CARBON COPY! In 1993 I worked for a hospital for an hourly rate - I think it was about $11/hour, but we got paid incentive - anything over 1000 lines a day, it was 5 cpl - yes - and we had difficulty factors for report types and difficult doctors. If we were pulled off typing for any reason - like answering the phone for an extended period of time, we were comped. So many of us made more in incentive most times. 1000 lines was easy to obtain - we typed a lot of radiology and HPs, CONs. At that time I also worked part- time at another hospital at 13 cpl. Then I had my child and worked at home for the former hospital for 12 cpl, then they outsourced my position to India! The rest is history and it is not pretty!
I receive 2 different CMT incentives.
Two of the companies I work part-time for provide a CMT incentive. One of them pays an extra 1 cent per line and the other, I get 0.005 (half a cent) per line for a CMT incentive. These are on top of my production incentives and quality incentives (at one company).
It does mean extra money and I know what it means to me personally.
Nevermind the naysayers here. They are bitter about quite a long list of things in the MT world.
