the ANNUAL rate is $ 30.--...nm
nm
Can anyone tell me the average hourly rate or annual salary for sm
in-house hospital employee around Carmel Valley? Hourly range or annual salary.
Thank you so very much for any information!!
You must realize, that annual salary is at a much higher line rate sm
than 9 or 10 cpl. I posted my monthly income, but that is at 13 cpl. I also work as an IC with my own client and not for a MTSO.
So, if you work for the MTSO, it is likely your line rate is lower and it will take more hours to achieve that higher salary.
Don't feel small or discouraged. You too can do it ~ that is if you want your own client or to work straight for a facility.
It takes a lot of time searching for jobs and applying and calling before you find it. I can tell you, it literally took me about 80 hours to find my dream client. But, they are out there. I chose not to work this route, but that does not mean what you are doing is anything less or small.
Best wishes to you!
annual income
Watch out, you will be accused of being childish from the same person who refers to "some" fellow MTs as unfortunately not having a brain. Hmmm, pot calling the kettle black? That was so rude and so not called for.....is that necessary!
Question for everyone. Do you take annual vacations. If so, where? We take 3 or 4. nm

no, annual pay used to be $500/yearly 4 india

ANNUAL vacations?? lol I haven't had a vacation

it's GREAT pay for India, annual income...sm
did you read this paragraph from the OP? $135 a week is EXCELLENT PAY for India.....yielding around $8000 annually, so when compared to their average $500 annually - it's 40-fold......here's that paragraph from OP:
"Jaggesh may do 1,000 lines a day. At the average pay rate, that would earn her roughly $27 a day, or $135 for a five-day week -- good wages in India, where the average annual income is about $500."
-----------------------
thing about MTs in India are they are all business-degreed, college graduates, and average age is 27. things about us MTs in USA are we are not *degreed* (most of us), we ARE college educated and/or grads (I would like to think most of us), but our average age is......so I have read......49.....so there is where I see the competition.
It's so unfortunate.....the entire world is youth-oriented......not just here. We put in our blood, sweat, and TEARS for the better part of 20-40+ years for most of us here in the USA doing this work and professing it and getting it so the BOS even went from 90 pages in the 80s to nearly 600 pages in the 2000s. THAT WAS DUE TO US - nobody else.
so give yourselves an ATTA-GIRL or ATTA-BOY here....I sure am thankful for all I've learned in this BIZ and continue to learn...so many decades later - so unfair that we are losing all the work to overseas.
Any MTs going to Honolulu next month for the AAMT annual meeting?
Are there any MTs who can afford to go? Are there any hospitals or MT companies who will pay for their MTs to attend the meeting in Honolulu?
Do you suppose next year's meeting might be in Bangalore or Bombay?
Annual salaries of full time transcriptionists
For the veteran's out there- What is your average annual salary (working from home). Also, the companies that offer full time transcriptionists benefits, are the benefits any good?
Did anyone attend the AAMT annual meeting in Honolulu? sm
If so, how was it? Was it well attended? Were the speakers good?
What is your annual salary working at 8 cents per line? nm

Are you kidding? After reading the health department's annual review, I NEVER eat out.
Especially at a fast food place. They always have long lists of violations, plus, after a look at the fingernails and hair on some of those people, I wouldn't feed my dog there.
They do list restaurants that maintain high standards of cleanliness with no violations, so if I'm in the mood for a long drive, I'll go to one of those.
I do miss eating out.
don't do annual but do big trips every few years. Last year went to Africa including safari
spent 18 days - one day traveling there, (stopping in for a day in London), then two weeks working at an orphanage and girls vocational school, safari on the weekend, then two days of travel back. Whew!
My Norton subscription is about to expire.
I can't afford that $40 renewal fee right now. What can I do?
The magazine is free. no subscription fee. Advertisers pay
x
I renew my subscription to Norton each year it is due by credit card through them on the internet.
If I change computers how do I get that back into the new computer as I dont have a disc or anything I just do it over the internet. I have the original disc that I purchase 2 years ago but have since upgraded over the internet as I said.
It'll be the most expensive magazine subscription you'll ever get! No point in joining. nm

No. It'll be the most expensive magazine subscription you'll ever get, and it's unnecessary

Charge him an hourly rate. The current rate is
between $15-21/hr. according to your location. If he had to use an independent secretarial service, he would be charged much more. You can look in the Yellow Pages in your area under Secretarial Service and ask them what they charge, then charge accordingly knowing you can back it up.
ME rate 80% of baseline MT rate
are you happy with the 20% cut to do ME work or are you going to just do MT work (which will be those dictators that ASR can't do) at your baseline rate?
Cross off old rate, put in your new rate, (nt)
Employee rate/IC rate......
I work at home for a hospital account that I make .11 cpl on 60-character line. I also do IC work for a clinic where I make .14 cpl. I am from Missouri.
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
DQS pay rate
Hold onto your hat, honey, it's bad. Real bad. I used to type 500 lph, now barely 120 lph...This depends on wether or not you're used to straight line or character count. Rememeber, your word Expander won't work, no headers, no footers, no signature line, no CC's. AND, to top it off --- you won't get paid for spaces --
my pay is now less than 1/4 and they're making me statutory w/no benefits for me or my child. Jumping ship. New job starts Monday.
Going rate
Depends on area, location, what is your experience, what kind of account, whether or not you pick up and deliver, etc. Can vary from 10 cpl to 15 cpl. What do you think you are worth?
Could you the rate...sm
I am one of the few that get paid per minute of dictation. Could you tell me what your rate is and if IC or employee and what area. Thanks.
Pay rate?
Was there every a time that MTs got paid per word rather than line? If so, why did it change?
As an IC you should set the rate,
You will need to talk to them and tell them you need to raise your rates. They may not be willing to accept it though.
Welcome to the wonderful world of an IC MT.
What is the going rate
I have someone who wants me to retype a book for them. Does anyone have any idea how much I should charge for this? by the page? line? TIA!
Does anybody know what the going rate
per line is for a private account in the Philadelphila, PA area?
same rate
I do not charge extra for STAT's unless I have to make another trip to deliver it. If I fax it over same rate applies. I don't understand your question about charging extra if they have more minutes than usual. Unless you have only hired on for so many minutes, then perhaps you could charge more. My accounts have been heavier than usual this past month but I feel it all evens out for when the months are light and so I take it when I can get it. I am a bit unusual but my accounts are good to me and I don't like to nit pick them to death with extra charges for this and that. They work with me when I am down and cannot adhere to the 24 TAT and so if they need a STAT on a patient going to surgery I just do it and fax it over. I have said it before and will say it again, I might bend over backwards for them sometimes (all 4 accounts) but they do the same for me so we just work together to get the job done. When I hear the horror stories on here about how some are treated -- I just thank the Lord for my accounts. Patti
Going rate for QA
What's the going rate for a QA person? I'm getting paid per line of QA that I do. Thanks!
7-8 cpl is the going rate.
You'd probably be better off to get your own accounts unless you are in dire need of medical benefits. Even then from what I've read on these boards the premium is really expensive. Good luck in your search. 
If you are IC -- you set the rate
It is hard and scary as you often wonder that they will take it away from you but you have to have confidence in yourself. Again, I would try to figure out what I make per hour or cpl and go from there. See how many lines you can do, and so on. Then compare monthly salary versus production and see how you come out. Perhaps just switching over to a gross cpl to show him that you only want him to pay you for the work that is produced no matter how long it takes will work for you. And that alone could be a raise for you - who knows or at least let you know that what you are making is not that bad as you do get paid for when times are slow or he is off. Production rates will not pay you for when he is off. Show him you are putting in more hours than two years ago, producing more work, etc. and so you must raise your rates to such and such. Good luck.
Rate
I have 6 years of experience as an MT. Eight cents seems to be the going rate but personally I would like to see MT's with more experience being offered more like 10 cents a line.
rate
Alot of companies just pay one flat rate no matter what type of work type it is. Some companies may pay a little more for ESL's but no more for different work types. Its all the same rate.
rate of pay
$50 per recorded hour of straight (non-medical transcription).. Is this low, high, or in the ballpark? I am so used to being paid by the line for medical transcription, this being paid by the dictated hour kind of threw me for a loop.
rate
Figure out what your average line rate is per hour and charge them that. Don't sell yourself short.
rate of pay
Thank you... The job description was rather vague, typing up conferences or interviews.. They said $50 for standard dictation and that it goes up from there for harder dictations.. I think I will pass..
Going rate
I was just wondering what the going rate is that companies are charging their clients? Any help would be appreciated!
Going rate
I was just wondering what the going rate is for transcription per hour. I currently work for a national company and get paid by the line, but a friend of mine wants me to do some transcription for him and I don't know what to charge. This is not medical stuff, rather educational/training. He doesn't want me to short-change myself, but I don't want to over charge him either. Any ideas?
Going rate
I work for a research company doing focus groups and I make about $100 to $120 per 60-minute tape. They are usually 2-hour focus groups, so I get about $200 to $250 for each tape. This is good pay I think, but $60 for a 1-hour group isn't all that good. Just my thoughts.
Rate of pay
I think you're being ripped off with your rate of pay! That's horrible! You can serve hamburgers for a better pay than this!
VR rate of pay
Transcend is paying 40% of our current line rate! I can't afford that kind of pay cut!
She might get the same rate elsewhere, but
if she goes national she can't expect the same treatment. They will be no more tapes, they will possibly have to buy new equipment, she'll become frustrated and wondered why she couldn't give, especially when terms are spelled out in the contract.
It all depends on how much this account means to you. If you are willing to make an effort to log on by 9:30 most days, but no promises that may keep her happy and keep the $$ in your pocket, but it also might make her think she has the power and she exercised it once and you caved and she'll find something else to gripe about.
mi pay rate
When I worked last April as an IC for a 411-bed hospital with over 400 physicians in Jackson, I made 9cpl, 10cpl if I produced a greater amount of lines, and 11cpl for weekends and holidays.
