Charge him an hourly rate. The current rate is
between $15-21/hr. according to your location. If he had to use an independent secretarial service, he would be charged much more. You can look in the Yellow Pages in your area under Secretarial Service and ask them what they charge, then charge accordingly knowing you can back it up.
I would charge an hourly rate in this situation.
Good luck.
I work for an agency, type for a major hospital - no hourly wage - just production. nm

Audio hour charge - what is fair rate to charge company?
you don't have to charge $60/HR - all you have to do is charge a good rate and then..
work smart, not hard. If you have a great dictator, charge him 14 cpl on a 65 char gross line, then set up your templates and word expanders, you can make $80/hr. But you need all three to work together, otherwise you might only be making $60/hr. Some people are just really good at what they do - shouldn't they make more if they are more productive?
That is a low hourly rate. I would look
elsewhere. That is below normal.

On the east coast the hourly rate it $14 - $20.
Hourly rate
Not sure my last post worked or not. Hourly rates fluctate around the country, however, in South Florida, the average hourly rate is 12 an hour and then each company/hospital then uses their own benefits/production bonus programs.

What is your hourly rate? nm

wow that's a very high rate for hourly isn't it?
I would assume most don't make that with production? I dont know...
The in house job offered for the hospital was about $14.00 an hour. I feel ripped off!
I think your hourly rate pays for whatever they want you to do.
If they want you to answer phones or sweep the floor or transcribe office notes or give shots or any combination of jobs.
They are paying for your time.
If it were me, I would have a separate hourly rate that
I would charge for things such as that, and keep a total of the time you spend doing this, but definitely bill them!!
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.
Nothing. Never take line rate for editing. Take hourly only.
You will never make any money by the line editing if you are doing true editing.
What is the going hourly rate (range) for QA these days. (sm)

Two of my clients pay me an hourly rate, probably do in most part because (sm)
I have longstanding business relationships with both of them, having worked in their office years ago, so they know my work ethic very well.
That's a typical hourly rate for remote
I personally wouldn't drive that far for it.
hourly rate for non-medical transcription
Hi,
You asked about rates...I charge 125.00 per recorded hour of audio and have no problems getting work.
Doubt you can charge 15 cpl for VR work to the docs - you can't even charge them 12 for straight

WOW! Great Hourly Rate For Editors - Over $14 to Start!!!!
I just started working for Soft Script in Calif. as an editor for 0.05 per line. I found this was not enough money for me (even though I accepted it to get my foot in the door) and talked to the senior vice-president Joann who gave me a great hourly rate. They must do this for all their editors. Today QA, tomorrow the rest of the company!!!! Can anyone tell me more good things about Soft Script and your experiences???? I am jazzed and enthused to learn more about this comapny and look forward to hearing from you all.
Personally, I wouldn't touch an hourly rate of under 18.00.
I have friend who works as editor, gets hourly rate and does
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Can anyone tell me the average hourly rate or annual salary for sm
in-house hospital employee around Carmel Valley? Hourly range or annual salary.
Thank you so very much for any information!!
If you are working at an hourly rate in a hospital setting, then you are
going to be in for a shock when you go to production rates. Most of the in-house positions were farmed out years ago. If you were lucky to secure an in-house position for this long, consider yourself blessed.
Rate to charge as IC?
Wouild anyone feel comfortable in saying what they would charge for work as an IC? I have been contacted by a medium-sized group of ENT specialists about doing their MT. I need to get an FTP site, which are very reasonable monthly rates. But, I'm not sure what to quote as a line rate in my prospectus. I was thinking 12 to 14 cpl, but is this too low?
Thanks for any input. BTW, the group are located in the upper Midwest in a very large metropolitan area. 
They were going pay me an hourly rate, training pay. It doesn't matter, I just tested for two ot
and I did pretty well. I should get a couple of offers in the next couple of days, hopefully -- I don't want to be overly confident because if I learned anything out of all this it is don't count your chickens before they hatch and don't put all your eggs in one basket.
What is rate to charge per report not as MT...sm
I really need to know what going rate is...Illinois too...for charging by the report for radiology. I know that some MTs are paid 1.20 per regular and 1.50 for specials, but what is the client charged? An account wants to be charged per report not by the line and I have only charged per line for 10+ years and have no clue what the rates are for this.
In checking with the only person I know getting paid this way for radiology reports, she is paid the above rate, but have not seen any discussion for the charge to the client and don't want to be underbidding....hard enough getting good wages without underbidding for services.
Any help will be really appreciated.

Rush Rate - What do you charge?
 If you had a client consistently dictate Friday or Saturday and ask for a large volume of work to be returned by Monday, would you charge a rush rate? What percentage hike to your normal rate would you give? This particular client dictates the majority of the material over the weekend and always asks for it back ASAP. I have reiterated my work week consists of Monday through Friday. I have decided to implement a weekend or rush rate so to speak and I am seeking opinions or experience. Thank you. 
Charge 1 1/2 your normal rate.
If you normally charge 8 cpl for M-F work, charge 12 cpl for anything that is stat or weekend work.
I used to charge a flat rate
If they don't like it, then they'll get it right the first time. I think 2.00 is fair since you have to pull it up, etc., and it is taking time out of your day.
You are basically charging for your time, but why shouldn't you? It's not like it was your error.
I have been in this business a long time and I am in a funky mood, and let me tell you, I am about ready to charge out the ying-yang for everything from now on because so does every other business operating in the USA.
Proof positive that an hourly rate would eliminate those types of situations.
Is $15 an hour a good hourly rate for an in-house office position?

How much do you make hourly if you relisten. What type of perfection are you looking for?
I mean I listen very carefully as I go along and address issues as I go. If I took the time to relisten, I would make half of what I make right now and I can't afford that as a production transcriber. Seriously if you relisten, what is your hourly wage to produce a report considering all things.
Per page rate for legal transcription - what should I charge?
I have only done medical transcription and we charge by the line, not by the page. I have been approached about legal transcription work for template documents such as wills, estate planning, etc. I have been asked what I charge per page...I live in the Northeast/Connecticut area. Can anyone advise me what the current rate per page would be?
The going rate to charge a client for rad by an MTSO is in the $4.50 range.
Need to figure in what type of reports, etc. Never go below that - there is a lot of administrative work to do.
I charge 1.5 times my regular line rate.
You need to charge for this extra service. Stat reports should be charged at a higher rate or per r
Never lose money. I have unlimited long distance and when my docs what things faxed, etc, I charge them per report to fax the document as well as charging them to transcribe it.
VR reports get paid VR rate whether I straight type or not.
I have just gotten to the point where on certain docs I know their VR sucks, so I straight type because it ends up being faster. It sucks, but that is the way the business is now a days, so I don't have much of a choice. I need a job, and I like where I am at, so don't like to speak up too much because the are really pushing the VR.
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.
Work hourly for physician. Need help..
I wonder if someone could tell me how they created an invoice when being paid hourly doing transcription. I tried using MP Count but it only calculates using line counts. Thanks for any help.
I was better on hourly. Quality of work was better
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.
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.
I work four 8 hr shifts, home based for hospital.. hourly plus incentive.

what to charge for work on the side
A doc is interested in my services. It's been so long since I did work on the side that I'm literally out of the loop. Can anyone give me any idea what to charge?
In the past I charged by the page, as the docs preferred it. Truthfully, I haven't even explored the character count on XP. If someone could provide that as well, I'd certainly appreciate it.
Thanks!
nm would you mind if I asked where you work and what type of work hosp, clinic ?
