The hype that went along with the selling was not true
Do you remember being told how many more lines you could get by VR? I would hate to have to live on what I make now. Most places are going to go VR though I firmly believe. My VR now is leaving off periods at end of sentences, not putting in the doctor's names when they are said and for some reason when the patient's name is given no way does it resemble in any way what the name is. At one time it did all the above, but once again changed.
I am SE. We used to get bonuses. nm

SE bonuses
if I were you I'd be asking some questions
but bonuses are just that (SM)
Bonuses are not guaranteed. They are supposed to be based on certain criteria, example, if the company makes money, if your performance meets the criteria, etc. It is the deafening silence that speaks so loudly.
BONUSES
Last year we got 50.00 gift cards to Target or Amazon and I sent a group gift to the office staff from Hershey's - it was a computer monitor made out of chocolate which I personalized.
X-Mas Bonuses
We're having a luncheon next week at the office. They have secret santas and we're getting $300 bonuses. This is the first time in 3 years that I've gotten anything. When I was an IC I didn't get a card or a Merry Christmas.
Selling on E-Bay
I have quit doing MT and have been selling some odds and ends (clearing out my closet, etc.) on E-Bay and have done pretty well so far. At least I can realize some extra money which is more than I can say for doing MT lately. It's a good way to get rid of unwanted items and make some dough too, so why not? I have a cousin who is seriously into E-Bay, even going to college full-time, and she makes enough each month to make her car payment.
I think the money to be made is out there, just depends on how MUCH money you really need. I'm retired now so anything I get is a plus to me.
No, would be like selling my kid!
....
How is this selling out?
In any other world, getting a credential is not "selling out."
MT's stubborn refusal to value continuing education and credentialing goes a long way to explain the lack of respect we get in this industry.
The people who hire MTs and MT services are almost always credentialed.
Bonuses at MDI Florida?
I have read that MDI Florida gives bonuses for employees that go the extra mile. I have been there over two years and work hard but have not seen a bonus yet. Do they given them out often or at all? They forgot us for transcription week and do not so anything for birthdays so it would be nice to get something out of it all.
NO BONUSES WHATSOEVER
I will get better and improve my skills in time, as I already have, but if these new things are implemented, I will not be given the opportunity to further improve my skills and get better. I will be canned, I suppose, for not meeting quota. From what I gather on this board, everyone with MQ has a different contract. I am new...you have probably been with them for awhile. I HAVE NO BONUSES WHATSOEVER FOR ANYTHING, NO MATTER IF MY QA SCORE IS 100% (IT WAS 98%). You probably have an older, better contract. Most of us are not whining, we are AFRAID. I actually ENJOY working for MQ (look out, I am ducking as I speak), and would like very much to stay, improve my skills and speed AND make more money. And what the heck is this about not more than a certain percentage of reports going to QA? How ridiculous is THAT? (Sorry for being out of the loop, but I do not receive any communication from MQ whatsoever and only hear these things on this board.) If they make a requirement of only a certain percentage of reports going to QA then the MTs are going to be forced to GUESS what the doctor said when he is coughing, slamming the door, phone ringing, TAPE SKIPPING, cut himself off, unintelligible foreign dictator, obviously said the wrong word by mistake, etc. These things I always send to QA. They are the experts and they should decide whether to leave a blank or risk filling it in, not me. If I was so experienced as to be sure what to do in all of these scenarios, I would be QA!!!!!!!!
What are the bonuses for a good QA?
MQ Bonuses ... How it works for me
As long as I have produced a total of 1600 lines on weekend days (however I choose to do it) and have 98% QA or better, I qualify for bonuses once I reach 6001 lines in a payperiod. Bonuses go up to an extra 2 cents per line. They are paid on the bi-monthly check!
Oh, is that so? We get production bonuses, but none for
xx
I remember bonuses. We would get 10%
a Christmas bonus. I still have my gold Seiko as a gift for my 10 yearanniversary with the company.
Dies anyone know if MQ is getting rid of bonuses SM
for SE and if so, when does it begin? thanks.
I don't know what others make on their bonuses.
Mine is usually a thousand; sometimes in the 900's.
No, I won't be happy about it if the bonuses are cut out. It's not the only thing keeping me with MQ though.
I do more work for MQ than for Spheris because MQ pays me more. Spheris doesn't pay quarterly bonuses and their incentive is limited to 1.5 cpl while I can get 2 cpl at MQ.
Losing the qrtly bonuses will not be enough for me to quit MQ.
When is MQ getting rid of the quarterly bonuses? SM
Does it start before or after the OCT bonus?
We had weekend bonuses
When the work was heavy or for holiday weekends for everyone PT/FT but that was cut out in June completely.
Bonuses and overtime
You're very lucky. Do it while it lasts. Once worked for a company that always did that and out of the blue they changed and went on a hiring spree and then not enough work. Would rather work for one like yours.
Speaking of bonuses...
We were getting $3 extra per rad report when out of TAT, but now it is 25 cents. Talk about going from filet mignon 2 horse meat! 
Sign on Bonuses
When are sign on bonuses, relocation assistance, usually paid out?
While getting more bonuses and flexibility and
Make sure you get the whole picture, okay?
Those production bonuses
have always seemed pie in the sky, to me. They're offered so you bust your butt trying to get there, but why would a company want you to earn that consistently? Stands to reason it would be cheaper for a company to pay two part-time, no-benefit people for 175 lines per hour each than one person for 350 lines per hour plus bonus. Or am I just way too suspicious?
I am selling one for $100, in box, Panasonic...
If interested, I would be happy to give you more information. This is the exact same thing, if that is what you mean. It lists for $267, but they are always $199 in stores.
Mine is gently used, in box, and $100 or best offer.
Thank you...

Selling business
This may not be what you want to hear but basically you are selling your client's name and hopefully they will use the new person. I went through a divorce and because my husband felt that I had a "business" (I have 5 accounts) he wanted a portion of what it was worth. I had to have someone come in and do an audit, talk to my accounts and give a net worth which he said was basically what I could sell my computer and things I use in my business and my business name which was not worth that much. My clients said that there was a 50/50 chance that the would go with someone that bought my business and one account said that they would go out and find someone on their own. With only one small client you might find someone that would pay you a percentage per month for a while but that would also be hard. What if who bought the business was not any good and the client quit them after a month, would they still owe you a couple of thousand dollars. Your best bet might be to find someone to subcontract for you and you keep on with 20 to 30% until you know that they are good and then ask for a month's income and give it to them. Look at what your business brings in a month and you might get 50% of that. I would not "buy" a client because they might not stay with me. Unless a contract is signed all the way around and then there is always a loop hole for them to get through if they don't like you. I have gotten two accounts over the past 20 years from gals that were moving or quitting and never paid for either one. One has stayed with me for now 7 years and the other one quit after one month as someone in-house wanted to do it at night. But that is my little knowledge. If you had an actual business, office space, computers, etc. then that is a different story but it doesn't sound like you do. A beautician does not sell her client list.
selling house
You need to document all of this and write her a registered letter recepit requested ahd outline all of this and inform her that you are going to send a copy to the Stare Board of Real Estate licensing and do a formal complaint unless either release you from your contract with no fee or to start doing her job. Whichever you prefer. If she is with a large company, I would also cc a copy to the broker/owner of the company. You do not need to take this nor pay for cancelling her contract if she is not doing your job and that should be stated somewhere in the contract. Also the state will investigate this and it will be a mark on her name. You can always call the state board and see if there are any complaints against your realtor. But you don't have to take this kind of service. But forewarn her of what you will be doing. And like I said if she is working for a large company like Century 21 inform the broker -- call her office and ask who is the manger/broker and talk or just send them a copy of your letter. They do not want any investigations believe me as it ties them up too much.

Selling the BOS to MTs in other countries?
Does the AAMT really sell the BOS to MTs in India and Pakistan? Can MTs there belong to the AAMT?
Selling jewelry sm
I have some to sell as well and was wondering about E-Bay. Do you know if you have to pay taxes, file forms, etc., if anyone does buy anything from you on there? Does anyone else have ideas that do not involve getting a business license? I think a tag sale would bring people around who would only want a quarter. I could use some extra cash and the things I have are nice and never worn, not a jewelry person but have made some from fine gems. Been thinking of where to go with it.
How about selling Avon?

selling home
Has anyone sold their home without a realtor or with one of those FSBO companies? If so, I'm just wondering if it was easy or a hassle. I'm getting ready to put my house on the market but hate the thought of paying a huge commission to a realtor. Any input is greatly appreciated !
selling house
Yes, this was something I was looking into also - around my area it's Assis2Sell and they charge a flat rate, no matter what your house sells for. Thanks to all of you who replied with some input on this.
selling home
I just saw a segment last week on the Today Show about selling a house and because the market is soft now they advise if you do not have to sell your house right now anywhere in the US, not to, take it off the market and wait until the spring of next year. I know homes in our neighborhood where they are usually bought within a matter of weeks have been on the market for 3-4 months now even with a reduction in the price. They said on the Today Show this is a good time to buy a house, but not sell it, because buyer's are taking a lot longer to choose a home and not acting quickly on buying the first house they love when they see one. Just telling everyone what I saw.
selling home
Unfortunately I don't have a choice about when to sell as this is due to divorce. :(
selling home
When I checked their websites (Assist2Sell, etc.) it seems they offer different packages, some of which include "full service" so now I'm getting a little confused. Aren't these flat rate places still realtors?
selling snake oil?
So for the second time this year, "At Home Professions" has come calling to town to give their big seminar. The flood of calls to my house start coming in from people I barely know or hardly know about all the fame and fortune of being an MT. They are telling people they could start at 15 cpl and make 50K per year. Are they even a real school? I want that job!
Nevertheless, I get the calls about how wonderful and terrific working at home is (not that it isn't, but it is hard work!), how "I listened to what they had to say and I can do that" (like it is no big deal), and basically how "easy" it is. Sigh.... I feel like I am explaining the science of building a rocket to my 5 year old who just wants to jump in and take a ride!
Selling plasma sm
Has anyone tried this as a way of making extra money?
I really need to find an additional source of income and the local plasma center is paying out about $200 a month for plasma. Can't work a second job outside the home because of mom with Alzheimer and 2 teenage boys that would likely kill each other before I could get home.
Yes, bonuses are reserved for the pets, not
based on cooperation, quality, or anything else, just whether your team leader thinks you are wonderful and so does Deb, but if you are on Deb's list, you get nothing, so just stay quiet in your corner and say nothing or she will slam you.
Is MQ still paying quarterly bonuses? SM
I was expecting to get a July 15 bonus. Has this changed? TIA
Company Bonuses/Raises
Any companies out there that still give these?  (especially "Cost of Living" raises...)
Most industries do not gives gifts or bonuses...
I would be happy if I got something from my company, but I would not be upset it I didn't.
Why do companies pay hiring bonuses,
advertise in hundreds of papers nationwide, spend $$ printing and mailing out postcards advertising for new MTs, when if they would just pay their current MTs 1 cpl more, or offer benefits or better benefits they wouldn't have a problem.
It seems like in the long run they would come out better and it sure beats having to screen/train, provide equipment, etc. a dozen or more new MTs/week. If the companies have the $$ for all of the above, why can't they pay their MTs more? They may not be getting the line rate they used to get but the money is coming from somewhere.
Christmas bonuses/gifts
Two questions: Do you receive any Christmas bonus or gift from your company, and do you give your company or team leader anything? I was just curious. This is my first year to be working at home, as I have always worked in-house. That was always the "fun" of working in the hospital -- the gift exchanging and Christmas parties!!!
Usually bonuses are not under a supe's control
I know! I'm trying, trouble selling mine!
I'm doing everything I can to get out! It's awful...3 years ago nicest, quietest neighborhood you could ever want.. Now, AWFUL. Homes unrecognizable in some areas.. homes that were nice! It's sad.
Trailers selling for $1M+ in Malibu now. You go, G/F. -sm
Yep, there was an article on Yahoo yesterday about trailers in Malibu for over $1M. In a place called Dume Park - not "doom" but "do-may".
I lived in a trailer at one time. Now I live in a house I paid cash for at the city tax auction. It is sweet not to have to pay rent or mortgage.
They started selling it, sorry to hear you
are losing money, but glad to FINALLY have an outside source reaffirm what I have been saying for two years, Docuscribe cheats us out of lines. That is one bad thing about computers/technology, no proof except the sweat of our brows (or fingers as the case may be) and they can say "It's just you", as they have been doing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Selling business deleted?
May I ask why the selling business messages were all deleted? Was something said that should not have been? Just curious so that if I said something I do not do it again.
Selling body parts in the US sm
There was a brief mention of a recent arrest (I believe it was in New York) of a phony business set-up involving funeral homes, etc., selling bone grafts, etc. from dead bodies (one was supposedly Allistair Cook's body of the PBS fame) and replacing these parts with PVC piping in some cases. These people made "millions" and the patients/families had to be notified. One man was practically crying because he had been told he has to be tested every 6 mos. for HIV, hepatitis, etc., since he had a recent surgery on his neck. They said it may not present itself for years in some cases. They showed some gentlemen being led away in handcuffs but the story was cut short. Anyone else know about this travesty and why so little else has been said about it or is there any web site, etc., that explains it in more detail? Would like to know morel I am very concerned for the recipients as well as the unbeknownst-to-them "donor" families.
selling real property
I, too, am a real estate broker and agree with you 100%. Selling real property is not like selling an automobile or a piece of furniture. There's a lot of legalities when selling real property.
India's selling itself short, too. nm
