My birthday is right around the corner and I would love to know how many companies out there take the time out to remember our birthdays.  I understand that these companies might have many, many employess or ICs, but we are not just a number...or are we? Just curious to find out the good companies out there...

I get it. The MTs should give our MTSOs bonuses!
Ho! Ho! Ho! I feel so bad for ya.
Does TransTech give bonuses or anything??
I got a strange deposit in my bank account and I can't figure out where it came from. My paycheck from them is in there and then there is a separate deposit from somewhere. Just maybe fantasizing that it might be a bonus? Anyone know? Or am I just dreaming.
They give QA bonuses also, but it would be on the same check.

Why would Transtech give QA and not MT bonuses? ? ? ??? ? n/m

I guess it is because of so many new MT's coming and going.

look at the post below this string by TT2.


Does Amphion give holiday bonuses, etc?

curious - do they give Xmas bonuses?
 Just wondering!
Cbay used to give great bonuses. Going to miss that

Sign on bonuses - do most companies pay these out pretty well or (sm)
do you find you have to call and keep bugging them to get it paid out? 
Happy birthday
Hi Eileen, many many happy returns of the day. It is November 30 already. Still in Calcutta or moved on?

I got a 65 Mustang Pony for my birthday 2 years ago sm
by my husband, all original down to the tires with 30,000 original miles. He bought it for 1200.00 and put a fresh coat of paint on it. I drive it about 3 times a summer and only on a sunny day-hubby's orders!
Why don't these companies give us
all of the information right up front? Even if they can't give the exact pay, at least a range, along with the benefits. We wouldn't have to go through applying and testing over and over, and they wouldn't receive hundreds of resumes to go through for each job. It would save us all, the companies and the transcriptionists, a lot of
aggravation! Maybe I'm missing something, but it makes sense to me.
What companies out there give you (sm)

assigned work, as in a handful of dictators.  I am looking to pick up some clinic work without large armies of dictators to get used to!
Thanks!


Can't you give her any names for companies? sm
You have been around and tried many - you should have some names to give yourself.

Can you give me the name of companies who are flexible in regards to
once you are done with your required lines or your own personal goal, but is less than 8 hours, allow you to stop at that point.  Hope that makes sense.  Say I can do 1500 lines in 6 hours, are there any companies who will allow me to quit once I get my 1500 lines?  If so, would you share the names please?
when referring to Bad Companies, give the name.

Do companies give raises?
Not in this economy. Just give thanks you have a job.
If MT companies do not give out raises, how do they sm
expect you to keep up with the cost of living?  I've been at my company for 2 years and was shot down for a raise.  I know others have been at their companies much long with no raises.  If I worked at a hospital or clinic, I would have gotten a raise by now.  Just something to show the appreciate me would be nice!  Are all companies this greedy?

Many companies other than "A" give computer

you can give the names of the 2 companies here.

JLG used to send birthday gifts (not "bonuses"). It was a nice thought though! Don't know

Can you give me the names of the companies here that were not honest?

This attitude is the reason that many companies give nothing at all. sm
I worked for a company that gave a small bonus about 5 years ago. So many MTs complained about the size that the owner decided to never do anything again. I know of a few other owners that feel the same way.

I only have 10 employees, but I cannot afford a large bonus, so I am not giving anything at all. Believe it or not, most MTSOs do not make millions, live in mansions and eat bon-bons while their employees do all the work. There are times that my employees make more than I do. Not whining. Just stating facts.
Question: Are there any companies left out there that send give X-mas
presents?  I sent my MTSO a christmas card last year and got a big fat nothing in return.  Is it too much to expect a little something for the holidays, even if it's just a card?
Does anyone find it interesting how companies want ICs and then give you the schedule you are to
work.  I thought by law you are not allowed to set a schedule for an IC.  Seems to me they are getting the best of both worlds for a whole lot less because of benefits they are getting out of paying and all the things the government requires. 
Some companies don't give that first check until 4 or 6 weeks have passed. Ck your contract. nm

What companies give an accurate EXText line count?
Either an accurate count or the option to check your own!
Considering some companies do give a weekly quota, maybe you shouldn't speak

I am curious as to what companies give at Christmas. Has anyone gotten a bonus/gift from their
company?
Give them a call. So many people switching companies all the HR depts must be really busy. nm

Is it safe to ask a company after one year for a raise? Do companies give raises?
Curious
"warned" by someone who won't give facts or sign her name. Give me a break! nm

Nationals give at least a week to learn program. Give

They used to give out $25 Amex cheques -- give them time. :-) nm

NO BONUSES

Bonuses
You missed the point completely. This is a profitable MT service with over 600+ MTs. There is nothing thoughtful at all about sending an item that cost less than $4 (no exageration on that figure by the way), with no letter of recognition, no Happy Holidays, no nothing. It certainly sent a message to me of how much they valued the job I did this year for them. Furthermore I have gotten very inexpensive gifts in the past from both large and smaller MTSOs that were not expensive but thoughtful and totally appreciated, so please do not interpret this strictly as a money issue.
Bonuses
One very nice bonus from some local docs I take care of. One extremely tacky cheap bonus from my main employer. While I don't think anything is owed, and did not even expect anything, I am struggling with the fact that this was absolutely insulting.
bonuses
Once in a blue moon they will offer a bonus if an account is in severe backlog, but no regular incentive bonuses. They already pay pretty well, so I'm not too concerned about production bonuses.
Why would they pay bonuses when they don't pay OT?
 
Bonuses
Too many people such as you tend to feel they are ENTITLED to a bonus no matter what the economy is. You should be very thankful that you even have a job (even one you complain about at every opportunity) when so many people are so much less fortunate than yourself.
Quarterly bonuses
Are the quarterly bonuses still being offered for SE's and what about the SE's who have been here for years??
SE's still get quarterly bonuses
I still get quarterly bonuses as an SE..I also have gotten extra for tier work.  I dont know what that is all about, I havent asked (dont like dealing with the office much)..What I think, however, is as a part timer, if I do more than 6,000 lines/pay period, I guess I move to a higher tier.  I got approximately $30.00 extra a few pay checks ago.  It was listed on my pay stub.
6-8.5 cpl. Don't know about bonuses or benefits. nm
s
Signon bonuses
I agree. There are so many MTs flooding the marketplace, they do not need to offer bonuses. (Sadly enough.)
SIGN-ON BONUSES
Not all companies that offer a sign-on bonus are bad news. Typically a company will offer a sign-on bonus if they are looking to fill positions quickly. A lot of times, this is interlinked with a new client/account go-live. The company wants to make sure they have enough MTs for the go-live. A sign-on bonus also draws more MTs to apply.
Thx. Do they have incentive or bonuses?
nm
Where did you read that about bonuses? nm

More TransTech bonuses
More Transtech bonuses: If less than 10% of reports goes to QA, you get 1/4 cent to line 1.

Also - shift differential & weekend differential to line 1.
MDI Maryland -- Bonuses?
It was my understanding that MDI does not have production incentives or bonuses. However, when I looked at their website it says this:

. . . And we show it to you through appreciation, excellent pay, bonuses and, more importantly, respect for your work.

Does any MDI MT have any info concerning the bonuses? I would appreciate it.
