subcontract work
I once worked for a girl that subcontracted the work. She was given 10 cents a line and paid me 8 cents to do the work and 2 cents for her to edit. I was just out of school and she had to review everything. I thought it was a fair deal and it helped me, as she was an English major also.
You can always subcontract out on a temporary - sm
basis (per dium) until you get caught back up. Just make sure you tell the MTs you hire that. I think for a couple weeks or so the doc's can live with you getting some help; what they don't know won't hurt them either, just make sure you go over the work before you send it in to them.
Anyone know of companies that subcontract?
Thinking of starting my own MTSO
i subcontract work out to newbies too sometimes. sm
depending on my work load, occasionally i will take someone in and train them. have done this x3 now, 2 with no training and 1 with schooling. here's what i would do.....i would pay her 0.05 and you 0.03 until she reaches the point where you are not proofing every single report and then bump her to 0.06. you didn't state whether gross or 65-char, but either way shouldn't matter much other than making sure she is bringing in something for her time or she will get very frustrated at making no money. since in your office, i would also consider utility expenses too. maybe even do 0.04 and 0.04 til she gets the hang of it some and then go to 0.05 and 0.03 given your utility expenses and when on her own at her own location, 0.06 and 0.02. i usually make 2 cpl off them, but they aren't ever at my location either. if doing extremely well, sometimes i'll bump them up by 0.005. you'll know in the first month if she is a keeper or not and really takes her own time to learn and research things herself, gets down the corrections you tell her, etc. sounds like she will do really well, but still you never know.
