I've actually received two raises from MQ...
just in the past three months! 
I've lost track of how many people who've asked about it to NOT
.
cost of living raises? any raises?
I've asked that question before
On any other computer, it comes up, but on my home computer, it does not. It used to. I'm puzzled myself. I asked that question to the administration once with no response. I can't imagine why a computer will just not let it come up on that screen. I'd be interested if you find out! Thanks!
I've always asked if I can leave right away or if 2 wks is mandtatory. Sometimes they just say Go

What is a TROLL! I've asked many times, no ans.
Thank you!
RE: What is a TROLL! I've asked many times, no ans.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
In internet terminology, a troll is a person who posts inflammatory messages on the internet, such as on online discussion forums, to disrupt the discussion or to upset its participants. The word, or its variant, "trolling", is also used to describe such messages or the act of posting them.
I've always asked if they needed the 2 wks or if I could just go now. Only had 1 ever say stay

Glad someone asked this question; I've been wondering, too.
I never used to read my reports and always got over 99% QA. Started reading them recently while working on unfamiliar accts and have found little errors on probably half of them; I think my frame of mind has a lot to do with how accurate my work is. If I am feeling comfortable and like I know what I'm doing (I've been doing this for over 14 years) I seem to produce better work. 
thanx for all your input.. A new MT friend of mine asked about it, said I'd post it.. You've

raises
I'm not even sure when my company gives raises or if they do. I've been working with them a year in October. I hope I get a raise soon.
raises
I worked for a small company for 4 years and during that time (when I asked for) I got 0.25 cent per line raise! That was it. However at my present company (small service) about 1 year ago she put me on incentive pay adding 1 cent a line, and never took me off of it! I am SO blessed!
raises
I'm an IC and it's been my experience that raises are never just offered. You have to ask. Sometimes in lieu of a raise they will offer incentive programs which may or may not be worth the trouble. Good luck with this, it can be difficult getting the raise you want, but if you feel you are worth it stick to your guns. If they value you, they won't want to lose you and you will be compensated.
Raises? What raises?
Have worked 30+ years in this field and I cannot even remember my last raise, maybe never? I thought we just typed faster and that was our raise.
Raises
I have been with MQ for 3 years now although I started as an IC. It seems to me MQ personnel talked like there were raises here yearly when I hired on. During that time, I have had several changes in supervisors and even areas although it is still the same account. I have sent emails for raises. Just seems to get lost in the mail here with no response one way or another. If I say anything to a supervisor verbally here with the Q, nothing is ever done then either. They usually just tell me that they haven't had a raise in years either and we can make more by money by producing more or shift differential. The only problem is it seems the more we produce to pay the bills that are piling up, the more they think they need to cut the pay!
raises, asking for, 10 cpl, rop
How in the world do you find a company that is willing to pay 10 cpl?? No one advertises it any more. At 13+ years I'm making less every year.
Raises
I think we are going to find no wage increases the norm with the current economy. Also, companies are going to stop hiring full time and go to part time and ICs to hold costs down.
My husband was capped on wages a year ago and his job description rewritten to keep him at a lower level. We cannot get health insurance on our own so we stay put.
IC raises
How do you handle asking for increase as an IC?
MQ sure is top-heavy isn't it? Wonder if that's where are raises are
and why they have to put them on-hold for awhile?
Are you looking for the one where the seat raises up?
Our local Wal-Mart sells them for about $400.00, but they are kind of small. I know you said your mom was short, but if she is wide too the Wal-Mart one wouldn't be comfortable. If you have a local medical supply company they would probably have them, or the info where you can order them. I wouldn't get one that is fabric in case of accidents.
I'm 4'11" and I have trouble with recliners too. I have to have them where they have the lever on the side to raise and lower the foot rest.
raises with Medquist
Wow, amazing, you have gotten 7-8 raises with Medquist in the past 10 years....WOW...you should be well up to 50,000 per year by now!
Raises and starting out.
I was thinking about going ahead and testing up with my company so I can get me one of those wonderful raises... the only thing is that if I fail then they will performance manage me.... so I wanted to ask around and see how long everyone went before they got a raise.
I started out at 6 cents a line 2 years ago and really was hoping they could give me just a tad bit more. A lot of the people on my account are getting 8-10 cents, but have been working a few more years then me.
THANKS BUNCHES!
Company Bonuses/Raises
Any companies out there that still give these? (especially "Cost of Living" raises...)
Be grateful, a lot of people don't get raises-- sm
I will probably cap out where I work next year. My husband is lucky if he gets a cost of living raise, he generally will go a 2-3 years w/o a raise then get 3% if we are lucky, 1 year he only got 1%. Yeah it would be nice to get a better raise, but in today's economy be happy that you are getting one and that you have a job.
He's trying to take away my ability to give myself raises
He doesn't want to pay me for my templates, my macros. He's taking AWAY money from me. He wants to change my "line count" to key strokes, so he doesn't have to pay me for a few paragraphs when it only takes me a few Keystrokes to put the macro in. It's like he thinks I'm cheating him! Isn't that industry standard?? Also I don't have the ability to "raise my production" what I get is what I do, every day I finish all the work.
The problem I'm having is what I make with them won't cover my living expenses any longer. That's why I asked for the raise. I mean I know as an IC i don't "ask". They said no, and guess what I have to stick around until I find something else. I won't find something better I'm sure, so I have to change careers. I'm having a very hard time dealing with this. Maybe cause I'm young and I don't feel like I know what I want to do. I wanted to be able to stay at home and raise a family, and now that dream is shot.
I'm just very upset you know, just ranting a little :)
Almost 3 for me - no cost of living raises. - NM
Just sounds like more rules, what about compensation, PTO, raises across
Actually, it was the crummy raises that made me have to leave my job.
Daycare rates doubled per kid in one year, so I couldn't afford to work any more with my oh-so-generous $.25 per hour raise. If you want to get technical, I'm making the same exact money per hour now as I was 10 years ago. So please don't tell me to be grateful for having a job because with 20 years of work experience and a college degree, I definitely should be making way more than I am. Daycare, utilities, gasoline, clothing, groceries, everything has gone up except wages around here.
What happened to their advertised yearly raises? sm
Oh, I remember who the owner is and am not surprised.
There are companies that give pay raises to CMTs.
Do MT companies not give raises anymore? sm
If they don't give raises, how do they expect us to keep up with inflation? I've been at my company 2 years in March and they have never approached me about a raise. So I asked them, and they told me they would review it. Well that was 7 weeks ago and I heard nothing back. Is this the norm now?
Do any companies give raises - if so, what criteria do you have to meet?
nm
Great offer, gets WAY better with time, you should get regular pay raises. sm
and the benefits sound great, for 2nd shift!
Need advice on yearly line count raises please. sm
Could anyone please give advice on how much a yearly raise for a line count should be? What is good, what is bad, what is average? Thank you in advance.
Hospital where I worked cut raises from 12% possibility to 6% with excellent review. Which means
dd
I loved those 3% raises every year. Oooh, a whole 'nother quarter per hour.
Cost of living went up faster than wages. Then they'd wonder why turnover was so high as everyone left for greener pastures.
every question asked on here could be documented in some book. So? cant a question be asked?

I use EXText with my current job and I've used at a couple of other jobs I've had. I've ne
used DocQscribe, but I have used Meditech, Cerner, Vianeta, the Precyse platform (I can't remember the name), Dolbey, and Lanier platform I think was called Cequence (?).
Out of all the different platforms I have typed on, I have liked EXText the best. In my opinion, it's very user friendly, easy to learn, and I really like ESP which is the built in abbreviation expander. Plus it is very easy to create your own normals which I love. My fingers literally never leave the keyboard because there are macro keys for everything. You can use your mouse if you prefer or learn the function macros. I love it. I think I'm more productive on EXText than with any other platform.
Spell as best you can or blank them and keep going. I've passed many tests when I've left blan

Certain people getting raises, certain people not. Guess who is?
Say what you will about unions, the good and the bad. But, one thing they did ensure is a raise, good benefits and that you would have a job in the morning.
As you can already see, you've come to the wrong board! By using the word professional, you've
excluded about 99% of the population of "whatever" it is that hangs on these boards. Certainly not professional for sure! But you sure are doing a good thing for someone! Its the thought that counts. Sorry you met the dregs right at the start.
HELP! I've turned my screen sideways, I can't straighten it up. I know I've seen sm
this before, but I can't remember what it is. Do you realize how hard it is to read sideways? TIA.
I've always verified every line I've typed (I have my ways) -sm
If you're supposed to be paid a certain $/line, that's what you should be getting no matter how they do billing unless of course it's specified in YOUR contract with THEM.
BTW, I've never caught a company cheating me ever.
I've used it. It's the worst piece of crap I've ever seen.
seriously. I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy, or their Vianeta program. Awful, just awful.
Wait until you've been there six months and if you've improved
quality and quantity, I'd say go ahead and ask. Otherwise I'd say annually... good luck
I've seen the same every place I've done acute care, and
pointing out dangerous or repeated errors (often in normals for goodness sakes!) never got the result I expected. When I would press the issue, supervisors said if the dictators didn't complain, then the mistakes must not matter!
It didn't matter if the MT changed what had been a cardiac med in the beginning of the report to an antifungal by the end - I kid you NOT! One poor girl used facial for fascial and fascial for facial!
I've used a few expanders, and of those I've used, all must be "coded" to get things lik
One thing I do to get around this, is to create a macro and then link the ShortHand command to the macro. It works for me, but I do the same five clients every day and only have about 20 or 30 macros/Shorthand commands that work like this. This may not work well for you if you have lots of formats and hundreds of docs.
I've been doing this doc for many years, so I've learned how to function with him. sm
I can tell what's a stutter, what's another word, what's just an "uh." Years of experience will get you through a lot.
Wouldn't want to do his charts all day, of course, but a few per day aren't bad. I haven't had to send his to review in a long time, but they do take a little longer to shuffle through.
I've worn contacts for 30 years. I've had both
hard and soft. My vision is much better with the soft ones than they were with the hard ones. When I first started trying contacts soft ones were still new and they couldn't get me to 20/20, so I went to hard. Hard were okay until my eyes started changing shape and then I could no longer wear hard ones. The soft should give you better vision as they conform more to the shape of your eye.
Okay, you asked for it
Multivitamin - prenatal (as directed by GYN dr, I'm perimenopausal)
flaxseed oil (1,000 mg) once daily)
Chromium picolinate (500 mcg) one daily
B-150 vitamin one daily
Green Tea capsule (315 mg) one daily
Calcium, magnesium and Zinc (combined tablet)
I can skip a few days and can really tell it. My energy level really decreases.
How many of you get asked how to get into it?
I have people I do not know that heard from someone that I work at home and want to know what it takes to get into it. Until this discovering this board this year, I would tell them that I lucked up into the job. I worked at the hospital and because of a sick child I was allowed to go home to work aftering working in a clinic setting for four years and hospital for two years. I also tell them it takes a lot of discipline to work and not do other things that needs to be done around the house. I don't mind explaining to them. I give them the pros and cons. What I can't understand is why do they think they can call me during working hours and keep me on the phone with questions?
