Tier 4 is the highest tier at MQ, operative reports only. nm

High tier 4 now (out of 5--whatever) was highest MQ tier.
Can pretty much do it all. I detest pathology, too, and thick Russian accents. :)
Mumbai...Wait a minute...
I thought this post was referring to the MT in Mumbai who was holding documents hostage and threatening to release them on the internet if she wasn't paid???

I'm not the OP so I can't be sure, but I don't think s/he was equating it to the events unfolding in Mumbai right now. I think the Mumbai incident was simply a reference to the MT using blackmail to get her pay.

OP --- Can you please clarify? Thanks!!!

Anyone from Kansas City?

Moved back to KC about 6 months ago, lived here about 15 years ago and now back, what part are you in?

Yeah, the Missouri and Kansas boards haven't been touched for a year maybe! There doesn't seem to be many successful transcription companies in Kansas City.

But just think how much easier it'll be to look at that electric bill!  I keep ours over 80, but I'm the opposite...65 and lower and the heat is ON!

New tier pay
I am a rehire with MQ. I found out about it when they offered me a half-cent less, but went on and on about how this tier pay plan would allow me to make up the difference. It's one of the "the more you type, the more you make" deals! As an IC, I'm not impressed!
MQ tier pay sm
That isn't very tempting when DQS keeps you from making a decent number of lines.
MT tier pay
I have been with MQ since 1983 but I have to respond on this tier pay thing. It stinks. The office I am at actually LOWERED the pay. I have been on tier pay for years and it was fine but when they closed one office and transferred to another, the tier pay was different. 4500 more lines per pay period before tier pay even started and then it only goes up 1/4 cent at that rate instead of 1/2 cent. I have screamed about it but have found out not all MQ offices are the same and they set their own rates. Now that the office I work for is closing too, I am wondering about tier pay. Its all a joke far as I am concerned when it comes to that subject.
Tier 3
This means you get all type of reports OR, DS, H&P, and others, etc.  With Tiers 1 and 2, your limited to certain reports...I don't believe they do ORs.  They may just do DS or H&Ps. 
tier 3
I am a tier 3 with Medquist and harmonization says 10 cpl is the max.

River City Transcription

Does anybody know anything about this company?  They offered me a position, but I want to make sure before I accept.  Thanks!


River City Transcription
I'm not so sure about this company. They want me to have Word 2000 or 2001 installed on my computer. I told them I have not used that version of Word in years and that I have Word 2003 and 2007. I like to stay up-to-date with the latest technology and software. Not so sure about these people...sounds kind of old fashion to me.
River City Transcription
They never got back to me when I told them that I have MS Word 2003 and also a copy of 2007. I do not think I am going to waste my time with this company.
Is DTS in Oklahoma City and DTS in Tennessee the same? sm
Are the offices ran basically the same or are they two separate companies?  I have seen some positive posts about DTS in Tennessee but I can't find anything about DTS in Oklahoma City.  Thanks in advance.

River City Transcription? Good/bad?
Has anyone out there ever worked for River City Transcription out of Kansas?  I cannot find ANYTHING about them anywhere. 
it tells you your tier rate
on the sheet that comes with thepacket. If you are a Tier 2 like me when I wanna be a Tier 3 I have to test. That's for everyone. I don't know about new hires as SE's are changing to new hire with 8 or 16 or 24 hour work week. Maybe an SE can answer this who has the packet, I am full time.
amphion pay scale tier 3? - nm
nm
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.
We work on a tier system, the more
production, the more money for my FT job. My IC job I make 10 cpl.
BTW The pay at these times with the incentive tier
At least for my abilities and b/c I am willing to work hard. My checks after being so low elsewhere are finally getting back to where they should be, and the bill collectors are much happier, so I am too.
I guess I'm what you would call a tier 4........sm
I can type pretty much anything they throw my way except I do have trouble with heavy Russian accents and I detest pathology and had rather not do radiation oncology but I can do them if pushed.

MQ-New Testing for high tier pay rate

one more thought for the evening on the tier pay rates


are these rates for new hires or will our rate of pay be adjusted according to the stated tier


and does the testing only apply for new hires


 


any where on the packet does it actually state what your present rate is and if not, and all the packets being sent out are the same, why were we all called--do we have to sign anything and send it back to MQ and when does all this go into effect


 


thanks for all your help 


That wasn't my experience, but their incentive tier goes by lph sm
which boosts your line rate, so that is kind of nice, since I was only working part-time.  I thought the platform was rather slow, though.  I normally average around 300 lph and even typing like a fiend, I could only make around 250 at Webmedx. 
TT have several levels of coverage; I took the upper tier ($500 ded., 90%). nm

Not sure, but they have a great incentive tier and differentials
and you can get those line counts. Reminds me of days working for the hospital, first time in years!

for MQ STAT employees tier rate applies to ME rate as well and how calcluated?
for a STAT MQ employee:  Does anyone know if the tier rate is going to be applied to the ME rate as well or are they going to go with the 80% of the MT rate for each tier level?  If the tier rate doesn't apply as well to the ME rate then going by the 80% of the MT rate is less than if the tier rate would be applied.  I'm sure that MQ is going to go by whatever keeps money in their pockets.  Guess this is a question for the supervisor tomorrow.
Iowa City, Iowa PJs
To be fair to any company in Iowa, the PJs Transcription I am referring to is out of Iowa City, Iowa.  Just thought I'd clear that up, in case there are 2 in Iowa with the same name.
