AHDI Board Members Salary Info
Unless things have changed, I don't believe the board members are paid.  They do receive reimbursement for travel and a food allowance.  They go to board meetings every month or so at different places around the country and stay in the nice hotels.  
Calif is attempting to revoke the "employee shares salary info with another employee" penalty.

$72 is not their salary, it is their salary and benefits package
including wages,insurance, retirement pension, COLA fund, etc.
PA - Pittsburgh area is one locale, Philadelphia area also.

PMT IN WASHINGTON
They won't pay you, they will treat you like garbage and emotionally and psychologically abuse you. They are a husband and wife team, and are both satan as far as I'm concerned.  Rumor has it they outsource as well.  Work out of Puyallup.
Washington
For those of you that are wondering, the horrible company that I am referring to is Voice Transcription in Washington state. There is actually an ad on the Job Seeker's Board for VR editors. Don't apply for this company, unless of course you want to go through all the pain that I have!!

Yah, I'm from Washington
In typing it, I should have put mom and pop setup. TNI is in Washington. Confusing when it went through as MA and PA. In other words, the company is run by a husband and wife team, or at least it was. Sorry about that! :)

I am from Washington state, right
on the Canadian border, about 90 miles north of Seattle.  I lived in Florida for about 20 years and never got it down there, just up here.
Thats going to be a hayday in Washington
Man, if that happens i have to march to Washington. I got 2 kids still in School. Thats one for the books man. Outsourced Teaching? Where are we going?
pizza and denzel washington

pizza gives you different food categories and you can "doctor" pizza for variety by adding pineapples or other things you could find on the island.  denzel is a manly man, charming, funny and intelligent.    if drink is added cold beer (corona with lime) would go great with my pizza.


I live in Washington state up in

the Cascade mountains. 


The only AC I have on is a small wall unit in my office when I type, but don't really need it very much.  Everybody wants to move up here.  Yikes, housing prices going up because of that.  I have a 1650 square foot house, 4 bedrooms, not too big, not too small.  Just hubby, 2 dogs and myself.  No water bill because we are on our own well.  No sewer bill because we are on a septic.  Use propane for the water heater and heat in the winter, about $500 bucks gives me half a tank, but that lasts us almost a whole year.   We don't use the central heat very much in the winter, just wall units.  Also, thinking of putting in a wood stove for heat.

salary
60,000+ last year
salary
Two years go, I made $67,000.00.  Last year approximately $40,000.00 but I had an illness to deal with and Im still dealing with it, so probably this year, the best I will make is $25,000.00.  However, Im feeling stronger, my illness is getting under control so Im aiming for next year at least $50,000.00.
salary
@.10/line I average $45,000 to 53,000 depending on how many days per week I work.
Salary
I charge $60 per audio hour or $1 per minute for my general transcription work and understand this to be the going rate. There is plenty of work out there but it is not easy to find. I am currently enrolled in a good MT program, but am going to keep doing my general work on the side even after I get work as an MT, because it really concerns me that some MTSOs hire people whom they do not fully employ. It seems like a lot of MTs post here and elsewhere that they don't get enough work to do. How can anyone project their income if they don't know if they will get any work to do or not?

What is the average salary of someone starting out being a MT, and what type of raises do you get. Is it a good career for someone young to get into?
MT salary

Greeting everyone!


There was a recent post form someone inquiring about salary etc. Many replied you may even start below minimum wage. I can confirm that because that is what I am making.  I am not complaining........few expenses involved and my family situation forces me to be home, which I am blessed to be able to do.  The company I am with has also been great up until this point but now getting stricter. (Do not blame them.)


How long does it usually take to get up to say 150 lph? On pirmary account dictators are the same. On secondary acoout you may get dermatology, ortho, psych, neuro, OB etc. Enjoy the variety but hard to develop speed.


 


Thanks for any and all advice!


My salary PT...
I work 7 days a week... part time during the week and full time/on call on the weekends. At that I make about $400 every two weeks from my job during the week and $200 a weekend from the hospital I cover for. So about $1600 a month I guess.

I signed on part time because I plan on going back to school in January and I wasn't sure if they would let me drop down to PT if I started FT. Plus I can always work more if needed to make extra, just no benefits. But hopefully hubby will hear good news next week and we will get state benefits and I can go to the doctor finally! :-D

If I worked FT at my company I would probably make around $700 every two weeks so that would be $2200 a month with the other place. Hope this helps!

(I thank God that I live in an area that is dirt cheap for mortgage, etc!)
Salary ... sm
The point of a salaried position is to compensate for a job that does have a fair amount of extended hours. The salary takes into account a certain amount of overtime - that is why salaries are usually higher than what you would make with just an hourly wage or production rate.

At the same time, you'll also be paid that same amount even if you just work 8 hours a day.

No doubt, you will have some longer workweeks. However, having worked on salary, it is a nice relief to know exactly how much will be in the bank every single time.

If you really are not wanting to work more than 8 hours a day, you'll be quickly looking for another job.


Salary
How does anyone expect a person to survive on $20,000 a year (rent, food, utilities, etc.), not to mention if you are head of household with children? This is really shameful. It is almost as though they are trying to force American Transcriptionist out of the market.
and we do pay their salary so who needs their approval. They need ours.
I would love to subject managers/supervisors to QA and have their salary based upon their performance.   Which begs the question, what do supervisors do all day but generate e-mails?  We do the hard work to bring money into the company so a supervisor can e-mail us and what else?
are you paid salary?

isn't salary taboo to ask someone

salary taboo?
Most people on this board are using an alias.  If you post your annual salary -nobody knows who you are. People are all over this board bashing transcription companies and naming names, yet when you ask for salary info they have nothing to say.
Yeah right, on this salary? :)
I wish.
The beginning salary for (sm)
a GS-0640-5 is $24677. Top end at that grade is $32084. Some localities have a higher pay scale, depending on the local economy. It's likely there will be no chance of promotion unless your supervisor quits, retires, or dies and you happen to be selected for the position. You must work to age 65 or 20 years of service, which ever comes later. Search

for all federal job postings. If you decide to apply for a govt job, be sure to read the qualifications for the position. When you write your resume, use the exact terminology (keywords) as the job description. Some clerk who has never transcribed anything in her life will be the one to look at your resume and decide if you are qualified. The only thing she has to go on is the qualifications listed for the position. When you fill out your paperwork for your security clearance, do not lie about anything. They don't care what you've done in the past, they are looking for any secrets you might have. If you have secrets you can be blackmailed!
They want to deduct your salary from their
business expenses - so if they have NOT paid you, do not cooperate. Send them a registered letter stating simply the total $ owed, and enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope for their convenience - ha - and hold out signing any forms until YOU GET PAID!! What nerve they have!
50K is the US average salary...nm

That's a decent salary.

QA/editor salary?

What is an average salary to expect for QA/editor with 10 yrs. experience?  I'm in the process of switching companies and have been offered 3 to 4 cents per line or between $24-26,000 salary.  At that rate, I will either have to stay where I'm at working under unrealistic conditions or go back to being a Transcriptionist (which isn't such a bad idea).

I'm not asking for specific companies, names, etc., but can other editors tell me, do companies offer a higher salary range such as $32-34,000 any more?  The last time I was out there looking for a job, QA/editors were getting a decent salary.  Now I'm finding they are getting less than MTs (and of course MTs are getting far less as well these days too).  Any input is appreciated.  Thanks.
Salary range

The 2-year assistant degree salary starts at around $30,000 here (the same as a beginning teacher).  The PT master's degree starts at around $60,000 per year here; other areas of the country, of course, are likely to vary.   I already have a bachelor's degree; I'm going for the master's, but I don't know how long the waiting list is.  


Not unless you want to make a low salary.
this point.  Many with years and years of experience are not making what they should.

What's demeaning is the SALARY...SM
I remember 10 years or so, when MTs were complaining about the pay compared to other health care professions and at that time, outsourcing was just starting to come into play.  And we were making MORE then than we are now.  I don't think it's the economy either, though it contributes to the problem.  Before the economy turn a recent nosedive, how many of us were making adequate wages??  Blame outsourcing and the greedy MTSOs.
And whose salary are YOU paying...nm

I think that is a great salary!...sm
I would take it.
salary per line
For the last 25 years I have transcribed and being a MTSO once upon a time, people are usually paid between 6 and 9 cents per line. Even with all my experience, I still only make 0.825 cents per line. One of my best friends who also is an MTSO with over 25 years experience, types on the side for another company and she only makes 9 cents per line - tops. Nothing has changed in the last 25 years as you will see if you check the job boards. It is a very rare occasion that you will make more being an IC and the only way to make more is to own your own business; however, the time and trouble are entirely too much grief, eat up your life and then Uncle Sam takes the rest. As an MTSO, you might be able to get 15+ cents per line, but that is really pushing the envelope. When I tried to get my personal accounts to pay me over 10 cents a line, they went balistic... hope this helps a little bit.
higher salary?
Are you serious?

You decided to be QA and you get paid by the hour, not by production. Sell your sad tale to someone who isn't hammering the keyboard for those "crumbs," you talk about.

There is Omissions and Errors insurance to cover your QA errors. Get over yourself. You aren't all that and a bag of beans.

People like me did the bulk of the report and it's your job as QA to come along and do a little clean up. In other words, QA people are what then? Janitorial staff.
It is illegal if you found out someone's salary through
unauthorized methods, such as snooping in personnel files, but you can discuss your salary with others if you wish to. 
I doubt very much they "promised" you a particular salary. nm

I agree. I would much rather have an hourly salary (sm)
I can depend on.
I do not respond if it says competitive salary.sm
That to me means 6 to 8 cpl. The company I work for now had no pay range listed, but said excellent salary. Turned out it was. Paid by the minute now and making much more than I was by 65 character line.
YES! I get a salary of 20K and then business makes 50K...nm
and believe you me, I take good care of the MT's who work for me. They pay for my house! As JRR said, it's all in getting your own accounts. Anyone CAN do it, but most people WON'T do it.
