Is that half-cent worth selling out to an
organization that has been pro-active in sending our jobs to India? To me it isn't. The good of our entire industry is worth more to me than my own personal greed for those VERY FEW extra dollars. That's why I let my CMT expire.
Yoko Ono wears designer clothes and shows up at all the fashion shows. Phony.

Yep, I figure 0.01 is 1 cent, so 0.005 is 1/2 cent.

take a cent of their rate and a cent of your mom's rate. I'd do it to keep the account or the
You already charge a fairly low line rate, but I'd definitely cut it to keep the account. JMO
Is 0.005 only 1/2 a cent?
bonus amt is 0.005, is this cheap or I am greedy.
1/2 cent=0.025.
0.005 is 5/1000th of a dollar.
yes .. 0.005 is 1/2 cent
my shift differential for asr is 1/2 cent from 6-11 and 1 cent from 11-7
when I calculate it .. i go from 0.048 to .053, which is 0.005 ..
stinks so bad .. 
1 cent refund
that is absolutely unbelievable -- they are totally out of it!! i would definitely be calling and asking what were they thinking?
Would think that it SHOULD be 0.01 cent per word OR

I charge 1 cent less than some nationals...nm

9-cent line count
I just signed on as an IC at a local clinic getting 9 cpl base, up to 10.5 cpl. I don't get paid for spaces, just characters, and there are very few ESLs on the account. I think that you will get paid more as an IC, but you don't get your taxes taken out, so it kind of balances out.
So, at the 1 extra cent per line . . .
with making an extra $6000 per year, you are transcribing 50,000 lines per month? Wow. I'm impressed.
Just half-cent thoughts...
I know this is too long, but wanted to give you a few tips. Sounds like you're one of those employees of medical offices (and many, many types of offices) that isn't set up on clear job descriptions for the workers--and then stick to it. Not all practice managers really know how to run an office efficiently. You have lots of issues here, but just for me curiously, why on earth would you invest in your own equipment (unless you really wanted it anyway) and still be considered an "employee." Do you have other work where you can write off your expenses? In our city (and in many organizations, many MTSOs) there is a hospital that has home workers, but they bring the hospital equipment to the MT's home for them to use. That's how they get to tell you how and when to work. I've worked in offices most of my adult life where people grumble out of habit all the time. You may not be that kind of person, and you may be grumbling in vain or just burned out. It's sad but true that many offices don't have the luxury of being managed properly, nor does anyone have personal knowlege of knowing how to set up a bona fide transcription department. Maybe that's where you could make some changes. Make yourself a "department" not just an employee. Take the lead and define yourself. It's called intrapreneurship--you create your own little venture as an employee but see yourself yourself a "small business owner" in your own mind. You could make up a plan to present a better work option to your employers based on research and projected outcome that this change may benefit all involved. Personally, I don't think you'll get anywhere by taking the defensive line here (though you have set a precedent). However, agression and resistance won't work either. You have to "create" your spot and show how it will profit the greater good proactively. And if you're getting insurance benefits for this home/office pattern you are requested do to keep your job, lady, count your MT blessings. Also, I'll bet many MTs working at home probably wouldn't mind having to "go into the office" on some days. Sure beats the isolation and might make you feel more connected to the real world. Best of luck to you.
And you might earn another 1/2 to 1 cent more working

I believe it is about 4 cpl for either, give or take half a cent. nm

OMG - this company only CHARGES 1/cent a line. WTF?
What is this???/!!!!!!!!
 .....quick, shoot them before they multiply!

"At a cost of only 1 cent per line, USA Tasp offers a Secure Web Enabled environment, which allows Medical Transcription Service Owner the ability to manage their dictations, transcription, quality of the medical record, invoicing, and payroll.
So, whether you have 5,000 lines per month or 500,000 lines per month, be assured that your cost per line remains the same."
I remember 5 cent pay phone calls. nm

My pay went up 1 cent a line when I obtained my CMT credential.
x 26 pay periods a year. Nothing to sneeze at and definitely worth the effort.
Half of a cent! Wowee-zowee! Where do
Also applied 2 months ago. Think it was 8 cpl for 1200 lpd, going up in 1/4-cent increments, and U

I knew I should not have bought that roll of 37-cent stamps!
This is all my fault.
How about 1 cent a line being cheap. That equals only $10. for 1000 lines which
is really not an incentive to work either. Why not make it more like time and a half, i.e., if you normally make 10 cents a line when you would get 15. They could even offer 1/4 pay incentive so you could make an extra $25 to work a holiday but the $50 would certainly make me think more about working a day when I usually wouldn't. Yes, it would cost the company more but I'm sure more people will be working that weekend for such an "incentive."
That's real smart, spend 30+ cents postage to pay somebody 1 cent

USATasp charges 10 cents per minute for voice & 1/2 cent per line
email to info@usatasp.com and we'll get back to you.
is this the person who makes 1 cent a line extra for $6000 a year?
how many lines a day and what do you normally make in a year because to reach an extra $6000 wouldn't you have to be typing way above average which is say 1200 a day for most of us, or 6000 lines a week.
encouraging someone to get their CMT based on $6000 a year extra, perhaps you could give more details because I have never worked for a company who would do that, not unless perhaps you were also a huge producer of lines.
Thank you...
I can't see where that shows that at all....

Boy that shows you what I know
I though it was only the MALES that sprayed.
shows
Desperate Housewives, Boston Legal, Lost, Alias, Medium, The Amazing Race. I'm with you will really miss Judging Amy, American Dreams and Joan of Arcadia. The new Ghost Whisper looks like it might be good.
Yes it does because it shows us where you are,

It will be new shows. DH saw a
commercial about it a couple of weeks ago. I couldn't figure out the show this past Sunday. I only saw a little bit, but I didn't remember some of the events. Can't wait for it to start back. That is the only TV program I watch during the week.
No I don't like any of those shows or that
dumb Maury Povich. I am sick of all of these paternity tests and all of that screaming, cursing and violence.
This isn't entertainment nor does it represent most of our country.
Shows
I tried to get tickets to O but they were sold out. Thank you all for your suggestions.
I usually do not like reality shows, but this one I
have to see. I love that show!! I do feel sorry for the wannabe chefs dealing with Chef. I gotta say I am watching tonight, the finale!!
Fall TV shows
I love to watch House. It comes on the Fox channel. It was on Tuesday's last season. Not sure yet when it will be on coming up on the new season.
Junk shows.
Sad commentary, but they try to please the majority of viewers. Glad to hear I'm not the only one offended.
AAMT BOS shows 250,000, as does

Talk shows
 I thought about it as I do quite a bit of transcribing different types of seminars but when I saw what they charge people for a transcription of the show I thought boy they must not pay much as it does not cost much to get a transcription of a show, less than $20. So they must have some type of automated transcription as for a 8 hour seminar I get anywhere from $500 to $750 and for a three day seminar I get close to $2000. Per line charge. But is frustrating to do sometimes as the audio is not the greatest at time.
But that was my thoughts on the subject.
Maybe if they shows some respect
There are plenty of good MTs out there who are constantly getting robbed by the poor pitful management people you are defending. They ship our work overseas, leaving me without work which takes money out of my hands. They force us to take on bad accounts that they committed to and have to lie about because they are so bad (bait and switch) and I can't get my lines strictly because of poor management, unsympathetic management, unprofessional management. I would love to stay with the same company, but I'm forced to leave because I have bills to pay and management does not give a xxxxx about that.
They put this on and took off good shows like (sm)
Joan of Arcadia, they also took off Point Pleasant for those of us pulling for the good in Christina. Shows over good and evil have been going on like forever... Hello people. But Book of Daniel just deals with life today in a cynical way. Joan of Arcadia said something.
When will the reality shows end?? and...
Who keeps paying for them? Come on America!! How about quality not quantity? Shameful, I think.
When they have bad/boring shows
it seems like there are new bottom 3 people chosen. I thought Mandisa had a good voice, but country was not her best (as the case for many of them). Also, poor song choice. Next week they sing Queen songs. I've been recording the shows because they're just not as good as they have been. I think Paula needs to cut down on her medication. She's beginning to slurrrrrr her words again.
favorite tv shows
- The Office
- Oprah
- Dr. Phil
- Ellen (Loooove Ellen!)
- Will & Grace
- AI
- Sopranos
- Dateline
Not a bad try. After all, loads of shows on air saying you can become
xx
Wow - how disgusting is right. Sure shows you
It's right up there on the Sickening Scale with that video someone posted a while back of "trainers" teaching companies how to bypass American workers' job applications, so they can then justify their outsourcing by saying there "aren't enough American workers".
There sure aren't - not when you kick all their applications under the rug or into the round file!
We need to lobby for laws in this country that will put a heavy tax on companies who outsource American livelihoods to other countries. We might as well put "For Sale" signs on our beaches, farmland, and national parks, because that's what'll be coming next.
Angelina seems like a man stealer, she just shows up
home. She doesnt seem to have a personality either. Oh well, when you're that gorgeous who needs a personality? As far as men aging well, I think Al Pacino looks better now than he did back when he first came out. He had those bags under his eyes, maybe he's gotten plastic surgery. Other bad agers: John Travolta (he looks like he ate the old John Travolta from Saturday night fever) and Nicolas Cage, an old crush of mine, awesome actor but seeming a bit hairless and bloated these days.
Anyone have any fall TV shows you are looking forward to?
Two of my favories: Judging Amy and American Dreams, have both been cancelled. I'm down to ER now - can anybody point me at something that I should be watching? No HBO at our house, just regular satellite programming, broadcast channels. I started to get into Everwood last spring....
I just do not understand those reality shows.
It's so annoying to watch them. I did briefly see the guys puking all over while the women cared for them, then I turned off the TV. Really, do we need to see vomit? That's not entertaining. It's amazing the stupid things people will do just to get on TV. And all the squabbling within the teams. It's all garbage nowadays. Nothing is family friendly or entertaining any more.
Ah, so the IRS has changed it. Shows you how long it's been
since I've paid anybody to do anything for me. LOL
