Paid for spaces depends on the account. Good company. nm

Don't know the legal aspects, but why
would you want to keep records of someone who no longer contracts your services? They have the records there. The only thing I could see is if you have to keep them for a certain time period in case the client loses them.
It's all about finding the positive aspects, IMO
There's going be something to complain about with every company. One person's last straw is another's aggravation.

I personally have no problems with no raises given, though. I never received one in 5+ years and made more money every single year.
"well-rounded in all aspects...."
even outside of the transcription part.  What the heck does that mean?!  Darndest thing I've ever heard of!
Is 8.5 cpl w/spaces a good rate?
What about 10 without spaces
Spaces between words. No good. sm
Itwouldbeokayifthisishowtheywantyoutotranscribe.  You lose a lot of money not being paid for spaces. 
Still need help on figuring what would be a good cpl if paid w/o spaces.
See my first message above. Thanks
Is a 55-char line without spaces good?

Does anyone know how a 55-character line WITHOUT spaces would compare to a 65-character line WITH spaces?  Which one is better?


Is 8 cpl/65 char including spaces good pay for Radiology?
TIA
I thought that cpl seems a little too good. Without spaces would make sense. Not
sure how much you really make per line without spaces. 
AllHealth in GA - Good company, good equipment, any info about this company? (sm)

What type of work do they have?  Any op reports?  Appreciate any info. 


Yes, they pay for spaces. A company would have to pay me sm
double to type without spaces being paid!
What company isn't paying spaces?
What Editscript company stopped paying for spaces?   Confused?
Is 8 cpl on 65 char with spaces,header, footer good rate for IC work?
Want to accept position. Wondering if that's a good rate today. THank you
This is not true. I have been there a month and get a good line rate and paid for spaces. ??? nm
nm
Isn't Cymed a company that also doesn't pay for spaces? nm
s
I agree, if you went to work knowing full well that the company paid 7 cpl no spaces
why on Earth did you accept the job?
Wonderful company, but you type letters and look up addresses and you do not get paid for spaces nm
nm
depends on work type, experience, spaces, company, area
nm
From my experience, it is all in how the company sets it up to count i.e. footers, headers, spaces
etc.. I work on another platform but I noticed the same thing when I worked for a company and it would me 12 hours to get 1000 lines, and at the time, I had nothing to compare it to. Then, I thought..this is just wrong. Working 12 hours to make $80 is ridiculous so I quite. I went to work for another company...same platform... and routinely do 1500 to 2000 lines a day and I can tell the difference. You know when you do a whole page report and all you end up with is at the max 40 lines.. something is wrong. I'd say keep the best paying and dump the rest. They are obviously shorting you somewhere.
Does anyone recommend a pretty good company that is good to work for, pay always on time and plenty
of work.  I know that is asking a lot, but just curious?
Strictly IC, good company, hard accounts, good platform.
Good pay, always on time, no direct deposit though.
Is Transcend a good company with a good platform to work on. They are advertising.

Webmedx hires some ICs. Good company. So sorry for your loss. Good luck!

TransTech for many reasons, good pay, stable company, good benefits
and flexible.
I have looked around the last 6 months and have found nothing better. Have turned down numerous jobs, and have finally decided to stay put. The better insurance plans were announced and even moreso than ever, I am staying put, and my paycheck is happy about that because it is getting better every day. Good luck to you.
TransTech is a good company. Debbie is the owner and a good one at that! nm

Good company, great people, good benefits.
Affordable insurance. Good luck!
I think most places pay for spaces. I work for TransTech and they pay for both spaces
as well as punctuation. I would never work for an MTSO that doesn't.
I know JLG and they are a good company with a good group of people

I joined JLG about 9 month ago and I am thrilled with the experience that I have had.  Although the company has been around for 20+ years, a group of good industry veterans who know how to operate fairly to both employees and clients have joined the company in the past year.  I followed my manager from another giant company. 


I have also worked on this account and it was plauged with problems from the start.  The hospital required the account to be implemented in a matter of days, there were technical issues and the hospital management staff was new and the employees were mad because transcription had been outsourced.  Personally, I won't miss this client but good luck to those that get it. 


There is plenty of work at JLG and I have already been advised on my new assignments


DSG is a good company. The sound quality is good sm
but I don't understand why they are hiring. In the a.m. was have NO work. The afternoon and evenings do have more work though.
or maybe it's really a good company. Give me a break. If a company isn't talked about sm
on here, good or bad, it's probably too small to matter and does not offer benefits or anything at all.
65 with spaces versus 65 without spaces; how to calculate?

Can someone tell me if you are getting 9 cents per 65-character line with spaces how much you would need to be paid per line to make the same amount per line if you are offered a ''65-character line without spaces?''  Thank you very much


So, if not spaces paid, what cpl would be comparable to at least 9 cpl w/spaces, do you know??
Thanks.
Good company, with good incentive SM
pay scale, decent health plan for full-timers, lower end for other benefits, well organized and dependable, good platform, good support. Very heavy ESL, medium-sized community medical centers, relatively high SR pay rate because it takes longer overall to clean it up. However--good producers who put in a good workday make quite good money here.
All compaines count lines different--with spaces, without spaces, headers or no headers, 65 characte
a line, 75 characters, etc. I would ask each of them how they count their lines. Sometimes the way lines are counted does not make a company worth working for.
54 without spaces = 65 with spaces if you do the math nm

good company
I have been with them for awhile now.  Every one is wonderful and helpful.  I thought it was a 65 character per gross line.  I am going to look back through my notes.  If it is not, I still make a line count that I am happy with and still improving. Pay is always on time.    Have a good day.
Good company
I am happy with them. Good accounts, very rare to run out of work, good managers, decent pay. I feel I have been fairly treated.
D*** good company, go for it
I was off of QA in 3 days, overtime yes, benefits, yes. GO FOR IT, EXCELLENT COMPANY.
GOOD IC COMPANY!
I have found Philbrick Transcription (based out of CT) to be a great company and they only offer IC status.  They have a great starting line rate too!!!  www.philbricktranscription.com
Anyone out there know about Cy Med. Is it a good company sm
How do they pay?  Do they count lines fairly?  Do they have a lot of bad ESL?  They seem like a nicer, kinder MT company even offering time and a half until you get up to speed.  Are they liars who say anything to get you to sign on?  Can you expect them to be true to their word?  Thanks any and all imput!  What a crazy world.  I am going wild trying to find a nice MT company.
Good Company
Wonderful group of people to work with. Been there since August, with a few problems at home, and they have been great. Very high standards for quality.
Good company. sm

One downside is occasionally running low on work, but I have plenty of backups, so I never run out.  Platform gets quirky sometimes, but it doesn't stop me from producing and earning bonuses.  Great people.  Come on over. 


I don't consider them a good company. I

took their test to work for them and I have more than 18 years of experience and they sent me a really insulting letter telling me to apply again in six months when I had more experience.


The audio was horrible and I had no way of slowing the dictation down. 


I asked about what errors I had made and of course they told me to call.  I was not going to do that if they could not even give me an estimate of my mistakes which they could easily have done.  I was not about to play phone tag when I needed to work badly and had to wait till I was finished for the day to take the stupid test.

When you don't have the right equipment, just how are you supposed to take a test.  I know that I got the answers to the written part right and I did the best I could with the dictation which I say was awful, but to insult me like that having 18 years of experience and sending that shoddy letter just infuriated me.  I will never try again, I'll sure bet.


Glad the rest of you got past the front door and liked it.  I thought I sure would have.  Oh, well.  I


 


MDI is a good company
I've been there about 5 months now, and I really like it. Pay is good and always on time - either employee or IC status. Good benefits but family insurance is expensive. Flexible as far as schedule and if you have doctor appointments or whatever. Never had any problem with that. Management has always been more than fair about any issues that I've had. The platform I work on is word based, but they have several different platforms - just depends where they need help and what you're needs are. Work was a little slow in the summer, but there's been plenty lately. I think every company has a slow time in the summer, or at least that's been my experience. I've been with other nationals, and so far, MDI is by far the best one I've worked for. Very happy there.
TT is a good company.
that are a piece of cake.  Some, I hear, are not.  Some of the ESLs in back posts are said to be very hard to understand.
Good company

No. Not a good company
A lot of MTs left this company for a lot of reasons, none good. I liked them at first, but that did not last.
They seem to be a good company (SM)
Not a lot of bad about them on the web.  I interviewed and tested for them, but the recruiter was off line and had computer troubles, never recontacted me, so I went with another company.  It would be a good choice, I think.  They offer a complete surgical position.  At one time, there was a $2,000 sign-on bonus paid out $500 every 3 months.  Might be worth a try, still.  Good luck.
GOOD COMPANY?????
In your own opinion, which company would be the BEST?  I am in desparate need of getting a new job (MAJOR problems with current company).  Don't want to get screwed around, pay decent and decent dictators.  Thanks everyone!!!
RE: Good Company
Give Transcend a try.
