    I didn't take the job, but I was offered 9 cpl base.

    got a raise but didn't matter
    Once got a 1.5 cpl raise from SPI at my request after a year but then they lost so many of my accounts, I had no work.
    momma didn't raise no dummy!
    ...the KY version. :-)

    Actually, as often as I've gotten the shaft from companies, maybe she did! lol Had to come up with the list in self-defense!

    Thanks. Feel free to use at will. Hate the idea of the companies taking advantage of what wasn't asked in the interview. Grrrrr!
    The Indians didn't get a raise, but I'll bet the CEO of the phone company did!! nm

    Base rates with National incluidng shift differential. Smaller - base rate 11 cpl. nm

    i would definitely start out with clinic notes first to get a good base.
    You need to try to get as much learning as you can in an unrushed way. When you do acute care notes, you are having all medical specialties pushed on you all at once.
    That is MTSO PR b.s. A raise is a raise in line rate. A bonus or incentive is just that. NOT sm

    a raise.


    Asking for a raise isn't going to do it. There is a policy for raise increases.

    Really?? I didn't know that! Good to know, thx. nm

    Good for you. Just hope you didn't
    displace a former MT who worked for the transcription company.  A friend of mine is an MT with a national and is in a situation where her company hired the former Transcriptionist of the client/customer and she's losing her account because of it because they're bending over backwards to keep the former employee happy and my friend is very upset about the preferential treatment this new MT is receiving.
    Oh, guess it is good I didn't then:)

    I did and didn't have any trouble. Good luck!

    Didn't Webmedx get good reviews here?
    I was under the impression they were a-ok? Hmm...
    i didn't find the communication to be good
    well, it was as long as i said everything was rosey. Soon as things weren't so perfect, they became much less than friendly.
    good idea...I agree...but didn't they have one once? nm

    Back in the days of YOG FN didn't have a good
    name either.  Your post shows just how unprofessional FN is and surely does not entice anyone to apply with your company.  Even if what the person posted is not true, you could have chosen to take the high road, but instead you took the low road. 
    I didn't have the best experience, but it was not a good fit for me. Still waiting to get
    hh
    Yes. I wouldn't classify them as good or bad. Pay was okay. Account I was on was okay. Didn&#
    like my supervisor very much.  She was kind of disorganized and didn't really communicate all that effectively.  All in all, pretty comparable to other places I've worked.  There was a problem with running out of work and when you are an employee instead of IC you are expected to sit there and keep checking for work during your shift which kind of sucked cause you didn't get paid for basically being on-call.
    Webmedx didn't about 1-1/2 years ago. Good luck. nm

    Hello other ex-Genie. YOG was a wonderful company indeed. I didn't know how good I had it. Those
    x
    I was an IC for them. No complaints. Good feedback. One thing I didn't care for (sm)

    was that if I had been an employee instead of an IC, I would have had to conform to their mandatory ergonomic protocols and send a picture of my desk/work environment as proof of compliance.  Monthly meetings were sometimes interesting, mainly routine--not paid, or at least I never was for them.  


    I worked on their Vianeta platform, but many accounts were on Emdat, which I have never used and don't know if I would want to.  Pay was good (set by me and okayed by them) and on time with DD. 


    I was only with them a few months and quit mainly because of too much work on my other, older accounts, and I didn't think it was fair to them or InterPro (or me) to try to keep up with them all. 


    SE...0.095 cpl base...
    I can earn up to 2 cpl extra if I type at least 16,000 lines in a payperiod.

    I have to type a minimum of 6000 lines in a payperiod.

    I am happy with this.
    Base is very low
    But they talk about incentives! Ah yes, incentives. Only now an incentive is being FORCED to work off hours, weekends, late nights, etc., to make decent money. Apparently MTing has now turned to settling. Do you want benefits, then low pay. Decent hours, then low pay. BUT be an IC and we'll throw you a whole penny more cause you get nothing else of course!
    5 yrs ago I got 9 base from them.

    I don't think 9.5 cpl is a low base rate.
    I like DQS so far. I'm doing pretty good. Of course, I'm still learning my docs and putting in expansions but I'm doing about 240 to 260 lines an hour. I think that is pretty good for just getting started with them.

    I don't care what other people make on their base rate, or how many lines they type. I have to pay for my living expenses and not theirs.
    Once again you are way off base. I can only speak for myself
    and about 20 other people who left OSi a little while back and we are all doing great, couldn't be happier, all working for a great company with awesome people. To be quite honest with you....you are our entertainment!

    If things were so good at OSi you wouldn't be on here trying to draw MTs in for them. OSi is over, face it punkin!
    What is their base pay, Diskriter?
    Anyone work for them now know their base rate of pay?  12 cpl sounds reasonable to me.  
    That is the BASE ... you get EXTRA for
    shift differential, weekend differential, QA percentage differential, and line differential - FOUR on top of the base rate. If you don't work for TT you have no business chirping in. You get paid for holidays whether you are scheduled or not. You rotate Thanksgiving and Christmas, never both in one year. I have been around the MTSO block. Transtech is the BEST. Period.
    A whole 2 cpl above base?? You must be rolling in
    x
    I would not base my decision on
    what this board has to say. These boards are used as a place to vent. It doesn'the matter where you work, some people will be unhappy. I have worked for Transend for over 2 years and the only complaint I have is that the insurance is not what I would like to see. It is quite high and the deductibles are quite high.

    Use your own judgement. If you would rather do E-Bay, by all means that is what you should do. Personally I do not like the packaging, mailing, posting, leaving feedback and everything that goes with each transaction. Too much to keep track of.
    You are way off base lady
    I have worked with Holocaust survivors, have you? Ive worked cleaning their rooms taking people for walks, holding hands, listening to stories of horror and hope, shared art therapy moments, given hugs and support. Dont you dare judge me. You are way out of line, whoever you are. If you get nothing else from what I've written here, get this: No one wants to be labeled a victim. You have absolutely no right.

    Peace.

    HOWEVER, that is base rate

    Transtech pays more for evening, more for nights, more for weekends, plus they have a tiered plan.  The more lines you type the more you make.  You can start out making 10 cpl if you are good and are not lazy.  You also get extra for not sending a bunch of stuff to QA.


    No need to add  when you don't state all the facts.



    BASE at TT might be 4 cpl but if that's ALL you make
    What with all the built-in incentives and bonuses, etc., and you're only making BASE pay, that's the MTs problem, not TT's problem. They certainly provide ample monetary incentive to do above and beyond the minimum.


    8.75 cpl base plus up to 2 cpl incentive, acute, MQ. nm
    .
    Huh? When did 9.5 cents base per line become...
    nm
    base rate.... my thoughts
    I find it hard to believe you were STARTED at 9.5 cpl. I have been there 8 years, just asked for a raise, and they told me no because I was at 9 cpl already! (like that's something great!) So if in fact you were started at 9.5 cpl, what's up with that? Something sure doesn't seem right here, but I'm waiting to see what this new pay plan is about, and if it doesn't set well with me, bye, bye MQ!
    It's obvious I don't base my choices
    by this board; however, the negative things that have been stated have been true. Guess I should have taken the hint the first 3 times in regards to getting the hiring process completed. Since they could not follow through with that, don't know what made me think they could follow through with anything else!
    it depends on where in NY you live and how you want to base that - sm
    I have lived all over NY state and have been doing this for over 12 years. It really really depends on what part of NY that you live in. For example, because some parts of NY have really slim pickings for transcriptionists, the doctors will pay up to $0.14/line in some small backwoods town. However, in the bigger cities, you might only get $0.09/line.

    I could go on and on, but first thing - what part of NY are we talking about?
    the 2 top nat'ls pay 1.5 base rate
    is that what you mean?

    That would depend on your client base -
    meaning if you have hospital accounts - the platform will have to interface with the hospital system.

    If it is physician practices, that would be much easier.

    You would probably need to sell your platform to your clients. Not quite sure what you are in need of; however, see what your clients are using and go from there. It can be very tricky and very costly.

    Good luck!
    No, they pay 80% of your MT base line rate.

    Can't base any decisions on what you see on MQ board sm
    People come and go all the time. Some leave and then decide to come back. There have been changes but that happens anywhere. Personally, I really like it. Decent benefits, wages and I like the platform. I never run out of work and get paid on time.

    After reading some of the posts of other companies, I don't see how anyone can say MQ is that bad.
    And 8.5 is just the base so you'll make more
    :)
    We are on a tier system, Base pay
    for so many per pay period, then increased in 0.5 cpl increments for so many lines up to a maximum.
    7.5 is the base pay for transcription...but there is none anymore...
    ...WebmedX is completely VR now... :(
    well I was lucky, the base rate is 6 but my mom used to know one of the owners
    and they will get me in the promotion for the QA department. They said that they like to give the jobs to the new girls because it is exciting and they are right about excitement. I think it just helps to know the right people and I really do appreciate it. They are all so friendly. And the operations lady and in charge of radiology is Pepper, and Flo is the manager of QA. Just call them and they can give you more information about pay etc. The phone number is 1-866-552-1515

    Yeah, but if you don't mind a low BASE rate!

    This discussion will cease immediately. You are WAY off base. We do not

    cater to any company in the manner you describe just because a company may be a sponsor.  The reason that we remove content about ANY company is when posters use this site as a sounding board of their complaints posting to the point where the thread flames.  At that point, I will remove the thread and tell posters to take discussion to email until things settle down. 


    If you have problems with a company, you need to take it up with them. Sounding off on this forum about the inner workings of any company is innapropriate.  Posters need to use tact when posting.


    Many of you know me well enough by now that I would not remove posts just because some MTSO tells me to.
