In Reply to: What is your average TAT for being an IC. Is this normal.... - me
Like the other poster said, you are not an employee and need to start thinking like an I/C. I thought it was your own account but then I pay my I/C's 8.5 to 9 cpl and still think 6.5 is way too little. But that is me and I am gross line also. But you must get your work in the morning and they want it in the afternoon -- why? I bet it is because the doctor has dictated late afternoon/early evening and it is due back in 24 hours but you don't receive it until the morning (7 to 9) but they want it back to send back to the doc by 4 in the afternoon when they go home. It is 24 hours for them but not you. So you need to see if there is some way they can send it to you sooner. Of course, how many lines are you doing? Can you get it done in that amount of time? Do you plan for it everyday? If it is just irritating you because you don't have 24 hours and most of the sub's don't because it is 24 hours to the MTSO from the time of dictation -- only you can decide if it is worth re-negotiating -- but my main re-negotiation would be my pay as it seems like the TAT has worked for you in the past. Good luck -- gotta get to work, have to make deliveries.
