They want minimum of 120 minutes/8 hours. After that is when you start earning that incentive.

Yes, I leave cable news on low, but since I get paid by the hour plus incentive,

Line-based vs. hour-based requirement
Hospitals do have an hourly requirement, and generally incentive after a certain line level. MQ only has a line based requirement, which is 12,000 per pay period. The hourly requirement is strange, unless they now plan to convert to an hourly pay plan?
I work four 8 hr shifts, home based for hospital.. hourly plus incentive.

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.
$19 an hour and incentive too?
Sounds like what I used to make before I got outsourced 4 years ago. My pay has never been as much since -- it's been about $10,000 a year less and going down. I never have been able to do twice as much editing as typing, but they cut your pay in half. I am really tired of MTSOs getting all the money and cutting our pay. There are very few hospitals in this area that have not outsourced.
I called on that ad. They offered me $23.00 an hour with differential and incentive. AND
relocation fees, AND if you live in the metro area, you can work at home. It sounds wonderful to me. I don't know why they are looking for help with all that combined. My husband just didn't want to relocate or I would have been there instantly. Besides, I love the area.
We paid hourly with incentive for high production. So she's making money when she's just
sitting there. I don't know if it is a habit or not because this is the first time I've really had to work with her for any length of time. I usually only work a couple of hours a day with her when our shifts overlap. I think I'm definitely going to ask the girl I'm filling in for what she thinks about her.
We are paid on a tier basis, based on
your production during the entire pay period. For example:
12,000 - xx
12,001 - 14,000 - an additional 0.05.
14,000 - 16,000 - an additional 0.05.
16,001 and above - an additional 0.05
So, lines between 12,000 and 14,000 we are paid xx + 0.05;
14001 - 16000 - xx + 0.05 + 0.05;
16,001 - above xx + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05.
Wait until we get a lower base rate and incentive and no work for incentive.Should prove interesting
because everyone will probably have a lower base rate than now. As I say, should prove interesting.
If you are paid by the hour--
I wouldn't mind jumping from one account to the other either if I were being paid BY THE HOUR-- but when you are on production only and you have to sit and read a zillion different client profiles, do this for this doc, but don't do that for that doc, etc., and are only allowed to work in an 8 hour time frame, it does not make for great production. If they want us to do that many accounts, we should be paid hourly, not by production alone.
I get paid by the hour, THANK GOD!
I had no idea it was 3 cpl or in the proximity out there. That's just awful. They want professional, perfect reports by transcriptionists who make no mistakes and type like the wind. Yet they don't pay for that. It's sick. Thanks for opening my eyes.
getting paid by the hour
I have not been paid by the hour in 6 years since I worked in a hospital. What is the going rate? I will be doing clinic notes for a small family practice office in Tennessee, probably about 2 hours a day after the backlog is caught up. They are going to see if they can offer me health insurance which they will pay for but I have to wait to know for sure until they talk to their insurance agent. I was just curious what others were charging. Thanks.
Because I am not paid by the hour;
I am paid by the line. And the faster I go, the more I get per hour. Others working at the same line rate may make more or less per hour depending on their speed.
I get paid by the hour
I'm working at a local nephrology clinic, unfortunately not for very long because of EMR, but that's another story. I'm am employee and work from home, but get paid by the hour. I liked that set up because when there's little or no work I still get paid for my full 7-1/2 hours a day.
I agree with you. I would never want to be paid by the hour.
I would be looking at a major paycut I believe. I average $28-$30/hr now and am paid by the line.
Are there any MTs left that get paid by the hour?
Just wondering. As an IC, I was trying to figure what I made per hour after having to pay my share and employer's share of SS. If there is anyone out there that still gets paid per hour, I would like to know what area you are from and how much. Thanks.
Do you get paid by the hour or production?
`
It would be very rare to be paid by the hour
while working at home. Too many variables and too many people would take advantage
WhenI was paid by the hour, I kept them LONG ......sm
but now that I am paid by the line, they are short! Bucks before beauty, I guess. 
Does anyone know if Indian MTs are paid by the line or by the hour? sm
That's something I have been curious about. I know the MTSOs charge by the line, but was wondering how they pay the MTs. I recall various articles about all the benefits they had, free medical, etc., even food.
reAre there any MTs left that get paid by the hour?
Mid-South (Tennessee) hospital employee, $23.00
Are you paid by the line, word, hour?
My former job paid by the hour. Higher producers with

how does one measure lines. i get paid by the hour so i have no need to do that.
just wondering
You would need to go back in-house to be paid by the hour.
If you're paid by the hour, and not by the line, YES.
.
If you are paid by the line and make over $25 an hour, then I hate to say it
but I am wondering if you are doing full QA. By the line is NOT fair pay for QA. I know I mentor new MTs on a very difficult account and there is no way you could earn a decent wage on any amount of line pay, no way!
Don't go telling someone they could do better if they are paid by the line. Quality specialists MUST have ethics in their work. You can do a decent amount of reports a day and give feedback and mentoring, but you certainly would not be earning $25 an hour on line pay that I have seen....just no way! The most I have seen QA paid is 7 cents a line and still those women do not average that amount.
Now, I don't know what you do or if you listen 100%, but most QA positions I have had have had megablanks, 100% listen as well as 100% feedback and you just cannot produce that much doing your job in a proper manner.
I usually average $25/hour paid by line so most places...
I'm paid by the hour, but by page or line are both common.
I work on-site, which is why I'm hourly. I also think working on-site with the actual paperwork in front of you makes for the best quality. Otherwise there would be sooooo many tech errors or dictator mis-speaks that I wouldn't be able to research from home that it would drive me crazy. But lots of MTs do it, of course.
could be short reports and getting paid for headers/footers in a 10-hour day.

I do radiology now, paid by the hour, work from home, can it get any easier than that?
Yes at PHNS-- this was a few years ago....was paid initially on how many lines you averaged an hour
the highest you could get was .085 which is what I averaged, however they restructured and it plummetted to .07.....you could get .085 again but you had to really work your butt off (something like +1500 a day). I was PT so I was only doing 500 lines or so a day, at most 1000, so it basically sucked after that. Plus the company totally changed, they started to outsource to the Phillappines, work dried up big time and we fought over the lousy crumbs. Many of us left and moved onto to better things though!

That is great. So am I. I try to go to mtgs as often as I can. When you get a chance, send me an e-mail. Maybe we can visit with each other from time to time and meet up at a meeting.
HI Jonesboro
I work for a large hospital. Do you like your job? Love mine. I come to Jonesboro quite often to shop. Great stores there.
jonesboro. 80 miles from memphis.

No, there's no pay incentive ... but there may be other incentive worth considering.
I'd give anything to have the radiation oncology department of a hospital I used to work at .. the reports were lovely 3 page affairs that, while not conforming to a "normal" conformed to a standard template that made the 3 pages fly by .. the dictator was a tediously slow (but clear) talking earnest young doctor .. and a small handful of his reports could rack up 500 lines with little agitation. ... a few sighs, but...
I think in the current state of the business, it is worth tackling a speciality or two ... OP's first, of course, but then whatever presents itself.
The two benefits will be seen in hiring and in work being available when the other easier stuff is all gone. Oncology patients generally are older and have more history to be documented, etc. While a great ER account is a truly wonderful thing ... when that's all gone, having some long winded, backedup accounts are a god-send, imho.
good luck.

Hi Malvern AR. Nice to meet you.
Feedback on Netscript@arkansas please
I am about to sign contract with Netscript@arkansas. Anybody had experience working or dealing with this company? They said they are going to pay me intially 7 cents per line and move me to 8 after a month. Is that reasonable pay rate? Thanks for any feedback you can give.
