But how much are the US EDs gonna be paid? Typically this work is paid at 2-3 cpl. nm

10$ late if invoice is not paid within 10 days. At day 15 work stops until invoice is paid. Hardly

For QA consulting I'm paid per hour; QA instructing (college) paid salary, QA editing paid per li
I am an IC and work for two different MTSOs as well as instruct at a business college.
you should never not get paid for work you do
Does it state that in you contract? If so, leave that MTSO fast.
Every day you work you get paid a sm
certain amount. If you don't have work on a day, you don't get paid. Best to clear that up with the specific physician or service you are working for. Basically, per diem, means per day, but it can be interpreted differently, and you need to know the specifics.
Not paid for work done...
Hi> I am seeking any advice on what to do about not being paid for work done. I have not received a paycheck from the company for two months, 4 payperiods. Now, they will not return my emails and have stopped sending work. Any ideas on how to handle this situation or what to do? Thanks.
Work in the southeast and we got paid for it.nm

If you did work, and were not paid, your state -
Labor Board says she MUST pay you. Or, you can go to small claims court and attach something of value that she owns: car, boat, computer, big-screen HD TV, etc. Being in the hospital is no excuse for an MTSO or anyone else not to pay an employee. You did the work in good faith, now she must pay you for your services.
Are you paid hourly? If so, I'm surprised they allow you to work with such little ones.

I get paid hourly $18.00. The hospital I work at don't believe sm
in production because of the error rate, blanks, etc. just to make money. I am sooooooooooooooooooooooo happy.
Depends on where you work and how you're paid

MTSO I work for, get paid by the line.

I work for 3 docs and am paid by the line
One doc will do 30 lines in 1 1/2 mins. and another will do 30 lines in 7 mins. Quite frankly I hate working for that particular doc. He ummms and ahhhhs and shuffles papers constantly. I definitely feel cheated when I type his charts.
I work for a company that uses templates and we get paid for them. nm

I get paid hourly and I work at home
They expect me to work 7-1/2 hours a day and I do, but they do let me spread it out over the course of the day. I work four hours in the morning, two in the afternoon and the other one and a half in the evening. I can leave and go to an appointment and make that time up in the evenings also. But then again, when I don't have any work I still get paid.
getting paid is showing appreciation for my work. that's all i care about.
who cares if some supervisor "appreciates" me? i'm in it for the money not for someone to "appreciate" me.
Not worth it if you work your fingers to the bone and then never get paid
Good luck
How many hours a day do you work? Are you still paid per gross line?
Not saying I don't believe you. One has to consider too that you have 20 years of experience, that makes a BIG difference in production. I'm about four times faster now than I was when I first started out. Newbies need to consider this too when contemplating MT as a career.
I will challenge the law. I am paid by piece work and that is excluded.
sheesh
Nope, happy to be paid 30,000 a yr to work less than 8 hrs a day, in the comfort of my bedroom,

I do radiology now, paid by the hour, work from home, can it get any easier than that?
That should highest paid work at home jobs...look at number 7 to see the pic and listing!
That picture sure made me laugh. :)
I also want a living wage for MTs. Don't mind hard work and longer hours, just want to be paid
:+
if mt paid 9, editor paid 4 or 5...how can company charge 14 and make it..sm
I know the going rate in our area is 14 cents per line. As MTs most companies here pay us 8 or 9 cents a line. Now add in the Editor rate at 4 or 5 per line..you are paying OUT more than you can charge a line. How would companies stay in biz?
Unless all work is sent by the company overseas at pennies per line, this would not pay for a company.
just curious how this works out
If you can show proof you did this work for them, they then have to show they paid it in order
:+
You don't get paid an hourly rate you get paid by line - sm
so because of how you are paid (not an hourly rate) you don't get OT, especially if you are an IC.
I would move on. I think it is so unfair not to be paid for spaces! I think we should get paid
per keystroke, but that'll never happen. I just think that these national companies are going to keep finding ways to cheat us. I found a job working for a hospital as an employee, paid hourly plus incentive, and they let us expand everything! Somebody's gonna have to kill me to make me give up this job. I will never go back to the national's again.
I feel for you though. I know that for us MTs those good jobs are few and far between and some have little choice but to work for the nationals. I just happened to luck into the job I have now. I just applied at the right time.
Good luck to you whatever you decide.
If those companies paid a fair wage, and paid more
all came out equal, people wouldn't feel the need to try to make up the deficit by going for the good stuff. I actually prefer the harder, juicier reports. But I can't make a living doing only that, because the pay is not commensurate with the difficulty. So even though I prefer not to, sometimes I have to pick up some of the easier, more boring 'line-o-matic' reports just to make ends meet. Tell your MTSO to make it work their while, and MTs will stop taking all the easy work away that you obviously would prefer to keep for yourself.
You wont show UE being paid because it is employer paid -
the employee will never have to pay this.
What you "should" be paid and what you "are" paid
sadly are two very different things. Good luck on demanding more..because someone else will just come along and take it for what they offer and they know it. 
I get my work from an FTP site that they load the work to, however I don't have pool work so to
speak, but I tell them how many minutes a day I want. The work is generally put in my box by 5 pm every day, then I have until 10 am the following day for some priority work, or 3:30 pm for the rest, so TAT is not too bad. I would like to work less at night though, but I working on that. My downside is I do not get the same dictators day to day, there are a few I do on a semi-regular basis though, some generate great lines but take longer to do that other doc's and are not "money-makers", I also do not get paid for spaces so that hurts a bit too. This is WP5.1 too.....so very antiquated but that is what the hospital uses, so not much choice there. But I understand what you mean about the C-phone. I was just doing another job with C-phone recently...they incidentally did not tell me how to get off of the system, which was very simple. I'd finish a job, then hit stop and hangup if I wanted to get off or quit working. That is what you need to do if you want to sleep, eat, etc. Don't feel guilty, do what you signed up for, believe me they watch the pools and will get others to do the work you don't finish. If they get on your case remind them that you are only PT and only want 500 lines a day, etc. It's not worth killing yourself over. Good Luck. 
getting paid
In a hospital setting, doctors get paid when caring for patients that arent their own, patients admitted whose care they take over. I dont think it is wrong. They need a pay check too and the time they spend is taking time away from their office patients.
Wonder if they get paid by the name?

RE: Paid for looking this up
Why would you want to get paid extra for performing your job properly?
Most I have run across say you will get paid for it sm
if you ask off that day, but unless you ask off, you have to work it and will be paid the holiday pay in addition. Most I know will not pay you for it if you do not work unless you request to be off on the holiday. I think it is strange because why else would they call it a holiday, but I think it is the nature of the beast of MT.
not getting paid
This was my thinking as well. Just didn't "jive" with me, if you know what I mean.  I will check with the places you mentioned. Thank you. 
Getting paid
You are doing the right thing asking what to do before flying off and ripping them a nasty letter with empty threats. Do some research, check and double check that you did not sign a contract, get all your ducks in a row and the facts straight, then sit down and write them a very professional, calm letter outlining the facts. Send it addressed to one of the doctors specifically -- as if it goes through an office manager it sometimes does not get to them -- and ask for it to be signed ONLY by the doctor and get a recepit that it was delivered. Just outline what will be happening if you do not get your check within 7 to 10 days and follow through. But make sure that the doctors know what is happening. But you can contact your state Labor Board, Consumer Affairs or any state agency that will listen to you to get the facts. Also the State Medical Association. Be sure to mention to the doctor (s) that you have contacted these agencies and will be doing a follow up letter with them should you not get paid. You can also file under the smalls claim court to get your money but that takes time. But if you write a very professional letter, have the correct facts and they see that you do -- they will pay. They don't want to fight. But again try to get the letter to the attention of one of the doctors.
Good luck, let us know how you do.
GETTING PAID
Is anyone having trouble getting paid by Keystrokes? My direct deposit never went into my account. Any information appreciated.
Not getting paid
This has happened to me as I was owed 1500.00 and I told the owner of the company that I was going to contact the BBB in his state, my state and the attorney general's offfice in both states, boy did I get my money fast. They do not like to hear that at all. Good luck, but don't let them get away with your not getting paid. We deserve our pay on time.
You get paid???

She's not getting paid to be there? I'd be so
Can I ask why the ME below is paid 20% less than MT?
x
Get paid more than you?????
Don't bet on it. The pay is commensurate with experience (which is often none!) It sure would be nice if they would pay decent so experienced MT supervisors or even MTs could take these positions.
MTs being paid over $0.10 cpl
Just curious, how are MTs getting paid over $0.10 cpl? I have been an MT for 5 years working from home and only getting $0.08 cpl. I am a full-time IC. Are these your own clients or are you working for companies that pay this much? I have experience in many specialities. I am just wondering if I should just go out and get my own clients or continue to find a company that pays more? How do you go about getting your own clients? I type over 1,200 lines a day and it just doesn't seem like I'm bringing home enough $$$. I worked at a company for 2 years and started out at $16/hour. I left because I had kids and wanted to be home with them. Any suggestions? I'm getting ready to throw in the towel. 
MTs being paid over .10 cpl
I have worked for 1 doctor, my own client, for 16 years and get paid .10 per line plus he pays my health insurance. I also work for an online company that pays .085 per line. I think to get paid .10 per line or more, they have to be your own clients and you have to work out any special circumstances between the two of you. Good luck.
Getting Paid sm
This happened to me as well. I was patient, got my money they owed me and got out of that company. There are a lot of good companies out there hiring as we speak. Good luck!
Got paid
Thank you. I finally got my check. It was dated for the 15th but only postmarked for the 22nd? The first paycheck was right on time. Perhaps it was a mail processing issue this time.
I used to be paid that way...
I used to have a job where I was paid by the dictated minute. It was 0.50 a minute to start, 0.75 a minute after 90 days, if that helps you. I really prefer being paid by line.
APC ES-500 which has paid for itself several - sm
times, don't know why I waited so long to get one! I have 20-30 minutes of battery time, which is enough time to get my work saved or transferred to a memory stick if necessary.
I have always been paid at the CMT
rate by companies that pay extra, because of the quality of my work. I have known CMTs who were horrible MTs and I'm not sure how they got their CMT, or either they thought once they had it they were above proofing. There are people who need CMT to make them feel some sort of self-worth, but I think it is a waste of time and money to pursue it.
not paid also
I had the same problem, but I only worked for 2 weeks, and was owed over $200.00. She had me do overflow work and then no longer needed me and started making excuses why she was not paying me. Get this, she wrote me an email stating she was happy she did not put it in writing that she was going to pay me ___ a line, but little did she know that she just put it in writing in the email, so now at least I have documentation of that. I think it is horrible that we work long hours, and then get stiffed when we need the money the most.
