    • as long as I meet my TAT - Linda
  • Most companies need certain hours - MTbird
    • as far as needing certain hours that would conflict with IRS - rules for IC versus employee
      • IC cannot be told I need you to work between 1 and 5 but they can say I need these lines by - X o'clock. IC says yes or no. nm
        • That was my point :) - NM
    • Most companies... - Linda
      • Must be a small company. 1000 lines/day is not that impressive. nm - NoFighting
        • I think it depends on how long it took... - HMMM
        • there is a midsized company with 900 lines a day - but heavy producers can't get large
          • Balancing act - Find your size company
        • WHy should I care if you are impressed or not. It it suits me, I don't give a darn if anyone - else is impressed. nm

    • There are still companies that need your work by a certain - deadline and it's up to you to get it
      • But could you just not turn on computer that day and NOT do the work. Or could you call and say - weren't going to work that day and they were ok
        • I could call and say - Linda
          • Yes, but if you called off suddenly a couple times a month because you just didn't feel like - working, you would be unemployed. nm
            • I could call and say - Linda
        • yes I could but if I already said I would accept work, I don't - do that very often or will find myself
          • Exactly! MTSO needs a consistent IC that she can count on. Take off now and then but you - have to be dependable. nm
        • I think this could only be done with a huge client base, or a huge number of say only - discharge reports. nm

  • MT is a job, not a hobby that you just do when and how much you want. How do you expect an MTSO - to run a business under those conditions? nm

    • I worked when and how much I wanted for years - sm
      • Thank you. nt - Good Sense
      • MT is a job, not a hobby... - Linda
        • Your OP "where I can work when and how much I want". How did you think we would - take such a statement? nm
      • MTSOs need to know the work is going to be done consistently. Not just when someone feels like - turning on their computer. nm
        • Considering some companies do give a weekly quota, maybe you shouldn't speak - for all MTSOs. ?? yes?
        • Ok then - MTSOs need to get intelligent enough to figure out how to - PREPARE for the work flow, and plan and hire
          • Walk in my shoes - Patti
            • Shouldn't you be factoring that into the bid and making accommodations for - that to happen in the bid and the cost?
              • Sure, factor it in, but no one knows what the future holds and MTSO has no control over those - issues. nm
          • MTSOs have no control over the factors that would make this - possible. nm
            • Aren't MTSOs the owners? Well if owners of MT companies - are not working up a bid, then I
              • The bid has nothing to do with consistancy of work. MTSO cannot control how cosistant work is. - Only facilities and Drs. control that. nm
          • Perfect MT world - MT is not a hobby
    • MT is a job - Linda
      • I apologize if I sounded rude to you - MTbird

Questions for DSG QA folks.  Do they pay per hour or by line?  I heard someone say by the line, but then someone else say they had to give feedback.  I have never worked for someplace that paid you by the line AND expected you to give feedback also.   If it is by the line, do they have a daily quota?

Thanks

Has anybody out there ever used all accessible shortcuts, typed steadily, and seen after a grueling 8, 9, 10 hours lines equalling approx 77 per hour?    I refuse to think myself as doing something wrong:  Just want to hear from ANYBODY who has done what s/he can, yet finds him/herself always unable to meet productivity.  I am at a crossroads right now so it is a good time to leave transcription, but I cannot believe my forays into at-home land yield the same results:  exhaustion, impossible quotas, and the sneaking suspicion that the nearly-industry-wide policy of not paying for headers is cruel, immoral, and unethical--CONSIDERABLE quality time is spent on getting this info right, and what automatically populates must often be, umm, massaged by our exhausted fingers.  I would love to hear any comments from anybody about how they met productivity.  I would need to increase by almost 100% in order to barely tread water:  I cannot do it.  Just wondering how all you VERY hard-working people survive.  Wish there were an emoticon for throwing in the towel.

I am working all the time editing/fixing and trying to remember all the rules for each account.  I do not see with the way the platform is ever being able to make the amount needed to keep my insurance, and they have already extended my insurance for me before.  I thought when I started doing more editing I might be able to get more lines, but then I would have to do double the lines, and with the way the reports are looking when I see them there is too much fixing to ever get there.  It looks like when the computer does not know what the doctor is saying in plain English it just types whatever it wants.  It is actually amusing how it comes up with a whole sentence of unrelated words.

ANYONE SIGN A CONTRACT FOR REQUIRED REPORTS COMPLETED IN A DAY FOR FT?  WORRIED I AM BITING OFF MORE THAN I CAN CHEW!

Is there a company out there that pays weekly?  Looking for full time work.  Seventeen years of experience. 

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

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

TIA

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.

Thanks for any info!

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.

Long time MT

I am recently divorced with 2 small children and I am desperately looking for a company that I can work part-time with that pays weekly to help make ends meet.  Does anyone know of a decent company that offers part-time work and weekly pay?  Thanks so much in advance!!!!
