What happent to the MTSO that pays what a good MT is worth.

In Reply to: Are there any good MTs left?? - Frustrated
I'm tired of the MTSO that promises great pay, nice dictators, affordable insurance, etc. 90% is all bull. On what planet is 8cpl or less great pay. You either have WAY more ESLs that you admit to or you have EFLs that talk out their rears. Be honest with your ads!

Most MTSO want good MT. Not worth losing one

Not to me. My MTSO pays me at CMT level and says
my work is better than any CMT she has ever seen. I'm not one of those people who need initials after their name.
If your MTSO bounces checks or pays late
along with facts to back up your statement. If an MTSO bounces checks or pays late, we all need to know who they are. There are no rules that say we cannot list the name of a company.
There is absolutely no excuse for MTSOs who jip us out of our hard earned money. Because we work from home it's much easier for them to do this to us. In most cases we live in an entirely different state. I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of the run around, the delays and excuses. There is no excuse.
True but my MTSO pays for voice player and

I am sure MQ will change their policies now because of the actions you took. Congrats.
A good expander pays for itself in no time at all.
Word files corrupt too easily so be sure to keep a backup for when you've lost all your shortcuts.
Also remember that you can only use autotext in Word and you're working "harder not smarter." JMHO.
Yep, a good MTSO will get rid of the crappy doctor, not the good MT...sm
unfortunately, there aren't many MTSOs out there who will confront a poor dictator and nip it in the bud to begin with.
In the old days we used to do this all the time. A doctor was put on report and told to shape up and if he didn't he would either be charged more because they had to pay an MT more to do his lousy dictation, or he was always given the option to do his own reports if he wouldn't comply.
Believe it or not, almost every physician my former company did this to straightened up their act became good dictators and found that it was actually less stressful and less time consuming for them too!!
The MTSOs just don't have the guts to do this anymore... and they should. I can make more money on good dictators with a lower line rate than crappy dictators at a higher rate, and would rather have the better dictators and lower rate than the other... it's a win-win for both the MT and MTSO because the MT is making more money per hour and the MTSO gets to pay less for her MTs and make a better profit. I can't believe the MTSOs haven't figured this one out.
The person MTSO pays is the person who

Also, good MTs hard to find. Might be worth

It is worth it though. I couldn't make a good living without.

I just emailed you the link. Yes, it's worth it. Good Luck.
A good neighbor is worth a million bucks, they say this for a reason
I purchased a house at a remarkably reduced price because of a neighbor who was a lunatic. First thing I will do the next time I buy is try to get familiar with the neighbors bordering my home. Thank GOD, he moved but for several years, I had to get a restraining order and even with that, he used foul language, sometimes directed at me, tapped into my utilities, had loud fights with four letter words. I could even hear them in the bedroom going at it (yes, i know)... What I say is don't make her angry or she could make your life REALLY miserable. There will be times when you will not be home...people like her resort to all sorts of behavior, I have a feeling.
A good tax guy is worth his weight. He will help you find deductions and if any probs with IRS,

Good article--worth thought, rather than just reacting.Thanks, Anony.NM

Good for you MTSO. If more MTs
did that we wouldn't have big nationals paying low wages!
Would MTSO rather keep good MT who knows
doctor or would MTSO rather try to find anther MT, train that MT and maybe not be happy with that MT's work. I say better to stay with MT you know than take risk of an unknown MT. I have had dr. I hated and asked to be off that doctor. It took a little bit for them to find replacement but I was taken off that acct and placed on another. It is hard to find good MTs. Better to keep a good MT for all the other work she does than get rid of her over one doctor, who the MTSO knows is a pain in the rear.
VR pays half of what typing pays...
If you would read her post more closely she said she does VR, which pays half of what straight typing does. I do VR and have made 4 cpl, so 5 is actually good and 4-5 is an industry standard, and may be even less if you are an employee. The problem is that you have to double your line counts in order to make decent money, which is not always easy. I embrace VR because I like it better than straight typing, but it is not productive for everyone, no matter how hard you try.
MTSO knows hard to find good MT,especially 1

Any MTSO find a good place for their own website?
I recently received a quote for a local web design company, and it was close to $1,000! I don't have that kind of money. I would just like somewhere to tell a little bit about myself and the services I offer to Physicians.
Thanks!
I make very good money at home with a small MTSO
THANK YOU! That is my point. She still pays taxes, her DH still pays taxes...
so who exactly is getting cheated? And just who are you talking about when you talk about whether it is "fair" or not. I don't give a crap how much taxes my neighbor pays. It's none of my business. And if I found out they were paying less in taxes than me, I would ask them how they heck are they doing it so I can do it too!
I just want ask, is it necessary to get personal and insult? You disagree with me, fine. But I've been called a liar, a cheat, a no-ingetrity thief, my intelligence has been insulted, and I have had my parenting skills questioned. That is a little over the top. If you cannot debate an issue without resulting to personal attacks, then YOU are the stunted one!
It is a very good thing that some of you work at home, ALONE! You are sorely lacking in people skills and diplomacy. Let me guess, when you worked in the office you were one of those girls who didn't like to share her desk, griped if someone dropped a crumb on your desk, and kept track of everyone's breaks, lunches, and line counts just so you could tattle to the supervisor! I've worked women like you, it was like working with kindergarteners. That's why I came home to work. Do us all a favor, looking in the mirror, count your wrinkles, and realize that this isn't high school anymore!
who pays 40% tax?
I'm an IC and keep track on my gross income and taxes on an Excel spreadsheet. I use this link to calculate my taxes: http://www.pensoft.com/taxcalc.asp
I claim married status, one dependent. I'm paid semi-monthly. I make certain to double the SS tax at the bottom of the page.
My taxes are between 22% and 25% of my gross earnings, depending upon what the gross pay is. Never had a problem with the IRS yet.
So, if 40% of your gross earnings goes for taxes ... something is WRONG!!!!

What do to if the company you work for doesn't pay for two months and stops answering mails and work is stopped as well? I am in a different state than Ohio.

Please send me suggestions how to get this woman behind bars? Is it a very long process? She is not responding to phone calls, e-mails, faxes.
VR - Who Pays The Best?
My hands hurt and I am thinking about getting into VR. Who pays the best for VR these days? Are slow typist more productive with VR than straight typing? Thanks

What company pays this much

Yes, transcription actually pays them better...sm
but that doesn't mean we should be sending confidential, private information over to them, where it can be spread all over the Internet and used in whatever way they choose, not to mention taking jobs away from U.S. workers. Frankly, I'm SICK TO DEATH OF IT!!!
When a country can't pay their own doctors, dentists, nurses, etc. a living wage, this is why they need a new government, a new way of running their country, not the old ORDER OF CRAP they have had for so long.
how can they both be union and one pays so much more?

MedQuist pays more. They pay 80% of your

I know a doc in FL that pays 4.5 CPL to India
Editing pays less. sm
The VR is crap and ever since we started it, WMX, I have continued to make more by typing from scratch. VR only helps the people who usually do a low line count, less than 150 lph. That is with my company. Some people love it, make more. I am sure it has to do with the VR software. Ours is crap.
Editing Pays More
Without a doubt, I can make more money by editing. I can edit more than twice as fast as I type. Also, I can edit longer without taking a break. The editing process is not as physically demanding as typing.
I get 3.9 cents per line for editing and 8 cents per line for typing.
MQ pays 70% of your MT rate, much more than

Yes, there is. SE the employer pays 1/2 of your SS tax. sm
As IC, you pay all of your SS tax.
MDI Maryland pays 10+ cpl
Their range is 9-11 cpl, statutory. I've been with them for a year and a half and they're a good company. By the way, that's not "incentive" based - the rate is the rate. Peace of mind for those days when you just can't crank out line number 1701 LOL.
So you're saying someone pays you
around $50/hr, HOURLY not production, to MT? So a hospital, doctor's office, or MTSO, pays you $50/hr for an hourly position? Whaaaaat?
My national pays .11 cpl (nm)

Guess it just pays for everything if
you just sit and watch the screen long enough.
TEMP MT PAYS VERY WELL...sm
Though there are not that many to be had right now ... in a large city, in the late 80s to 90s, paid $16-$17/hr.

YES, MQ pays shift diff but you have to ask for it. SM
I complained bitterly about it and they gave me half a cent per line for nights and weekends. Adds up to about $75 per check and YES, it is paid on my bimonthly check.
i have 1 account that pays by report
and one that pays by the line. it depends on the day on which is better and if you are able to 'definitely' know what your line count is. if you have lots of normals then per report is better, for me anyway
Who pays for your phone lines?
I am thinking about letting a couple of my transcriptionists go home....I have opened a new business and am doing so well I am running out of space here in the office. I can do more business if they go home, but call into my main account, who uses Lanier voicewriter and is still (unbelievably) on Medword......to those of you who type from home, who pays the monthly expense for your phone lines....and do you have one or two lines?
mine pays after 10,000 lines
I work for eTransPlus and as soon as you reach 10,000 lines per pay period, your insurance starts, AND they pay half of it for every pay period you make your 10,000.
wow .. which national pays 11 cpl? Thanks for the info!
Thanks ~
Transhealth pays for holiday pay
You have to work if it falls on your day but you have the option of asking off. You get holiday pay (if you are off as well) plus you get your line count that day.
