Any company pay on a weekly basis?

Just wondering if there is one out there.  I really prefer a weekly paycheck, but cannot seem to find a company willing to do that.

What is the % of ESL dictation you do on weekly basis?

What is the % of ESL dictation you do on weekly basis?


Why do people hate ESL dictation so much? 


I learned a long time ago that it is better to put the time into learning each ESL dictator, then when they come around it isn't as painful and some of them are actually pretty good and give good line counts.


It seems, no matter where I have worked, that when reports fell way out of TAT it was because there are a lot of ESL dictations that people didn't want to do so they just sit there.


IC means job by job basis, not when the company

ICs work best from pools, and then of course a TAT would be attached to that.  There are companies out there that do this and do not abuse IC status.  Abuse of IC status are set schedules, set lines, etc.  No IC should have to be available just in case.  If so, that IC then becomes an employee.  An IC can lose money having to be available by not taking on other jobs.  I am defining a job as 1 file of transcription, not a shift, which would be for an employee.  Shiftwork is for employees not ICs.  An IC is their own boss and run their own ship.  An IC has a right on any given time or day not to accept a job.  These companies requiring set shifts so to speak and set lines are not following IRS guidelines.  Even though a company has clients that need their transcription back that does not give the company the right to treat an IC as an employee.  As far as I'm concerned, that company that am contracted with as an IC is my client.  Actually, if you contract work (IC) for a company's client, then you are actually a subcontractor.  If you had the client yourself, you are then the contractor. 


As far as pay, these companies do not want to pay any more than they have to, so they put the rate out there.  I have not accepted clients or MTSO subcontracted work because I am not willing to work for that amount of money.  I have also accepted work or jobs to transcribe on a job by job basis (typing from a pool).  However, if you are assigned a dictator, you still have the right as an IC to say at any time I cannot transcribe that file today.  It is the companies responsibility to find another IC to transcribe that job.  An employee cannot refuse work that is assigned. 



Does anyone know of a company that hires ICs on a very flexible basis.
I really just want a position that I can work as a second job, maybe some weekends and evenings and nothing set in stone. I have found even with a lot of the companies who say that they are flexible or really not. The next thing I know, I need to tell them exactly WHAT DAY and WHAT TIME I am working ahead of time etc. That is exactly what I want to avoid. I want the flexibility to work if I want and take off a day or two if I need to. Is this possible?? I realize that the main reason they ask for a schedule is to plan accordingly but I do not want that "pressure". I was an IC recently and if I was not on right at the moment they "scheduled" me, then I would get emails or phone calls. Maybe I am just dreaming that I can have this flexibility..Anyone??
anyone know company who pays weekly?
Are there companies that pay weekly?  Curious.
just signed on with weekly company
I just signed on with a company that pays weekly. Great people!! Very friendly. Paychecks mailed every Monday. No platform as of yet so a little slow in building up line count. But I'll stick around until they obtain a platform.

Someone asks about this company weekly. Lots of

per line basis

...rather than on a daily basis? Thanks.

What you have asked has no basis
because if VR learned to where it could be left on its own accord, then 5 years later I would not be doing the same account on the same VR platform and I do not work for the TT.
I worked for them briefly on a part-time basis. sm

The people are absolutely GREAT, and the account I had was not difficult.  I thought their platform was a bit cumbersome and I could not import my abbreviations into their expander, so my line count took a hit.   They paid better than some, though, at 9-1/2 cpl.


 


Good luck.


Has anyone worked for the Word Pros on an as-needed basis? Thanks. NM

My plumber doesn't do work for me on a daily basis. .sm
In my state, we need to get a 1099 if we make over $1000 as an IC. I have never paid a plumber that much money, thank goodness!
What people have to understand is we are competing on a global basis now. nm

Anyone else working for eTransPlus running out of work on a daily basis?
How are you handling it?
Anyone with info on The Word Pros or anyone who has worked on an as-needed basis? NM

Hmm..If this is the radiology account, I thought they were paying on a per-report basis..sm

I worked for them for a little over a week and we were being paid per report.  Must be a different account they were recenting hiring for or either they changed the pay structure.


At any rate, my experience was less than grand as well.


Who here is required to type 1800 lines on a daily basis for FT work?

I think if you test well they will consider you on a case by case basis without the full 5 years.
I would definitely contact them anyway.

Weekly pay

Hi All,


I was wondering if anyone knew of any good companies who pay weekly.  I have a full time position, but I would like to have a part-time position which pays weekly.  Thank you so much

Does anyone know of any companies that pay weekly? sm

I am in a bit of a financial jam and need a quick fix until I get paid on Nov. 27.  Any ideas?


TIA


There are companies that pay weekly sm

EFD in Texas, New England Medical Transcription (NEMT) and a company called On-Call, although neither of these companies have had ads posted recently.  Hope this helps. 


Also, have you ever thought about working for a temp service.  They usually pay weekly.  I don't know where you are located and how many temporary services are in your area, but I think this would be worth a try, considering your circumstance.

OTI gives you a weekly quota. sm
You work when you want during the week. They ask you to commit to one weekend day.

Furthermore, I was on only one account, and worked that same account every day. The work was plentiful. Since I wasn't hopping around on various accounts, I customized everything and made a zillion macros. It was very good for money.

It was the best job I ever worked. I had to leave because I needed benefits.
950-1000 weekly?

Ccompanies that pay weekly?
Can anyone give info on companies that pay weekly?  Leaving mine and kind of used to that in the ole budget now;-)  Just got a call from one company that paid well but MTs were paid from the 1-15th on the 30th - and certainly would not work here. 
QED pays weekly nm
nm.
You should be able to see weekly and monthly
below the counts for the day. My understanding is that each day is reset at midnight (facility server's local time), each week on Saturday at midnight, and each month on the last day of the month at midnight (again, facility's local time zone).

So you can see the current day, but only summaries for the previous week and month, not individual previous days.
IC Pay weekly or biweekly

Are there any companies out there that pay ICs weekly or biweekly.  I just lost an account to EMR that paid weekly.  I don't want to be paid twice a month.  Thanks.

Weekly ISR reports
I am getting frustrated with them scrutinizing my every keystroke with the weekly ISR reports and obscessing about whether I am using Ctl D or not, when the real problem lies with the poor quality of the ISR! If they are going to lower our pay, then they should provide us with a quality platform that justifies the low pay. And if we are going to be paid on a production basis, then provide us with the means to be productive! Why can't they get that? We will produce more, which means they will make more money. Common sense to me.
they may be willing to make considerations on a case-by-case basis s/m
I have a couple of situations that make 8 hours straight not possible for me, and when I hired on with the company I was with who recently merged with Transcend, they worked with me to find ways that would help me be productive without hindering my physical and personal limitations.

I am not going to list specifics, but I was very impressed at how willing they were to help me and they told me that they are willing to make considerations on a case by case basis.
$1000 weekly gives me a goal to aim for
I look forward to reaching that goal!
