Transolutions, hourly rate?

Does anyone have info on Transolutions' new hourly rate?


They have created a new position that pays hourly. Anyone know what the hourly rate range is? NM
xx
A combo hourly/incentive or straight hourly rate based on
A platform where MTs have had major input in developing it.

10 annual days of PTO, at average hourly rate.

Affordable, decent health insurance.

QA done by very experienced high-level MTs, with open and respectful communication between QA and the MTs.
Hourly pay rate

I have been working for Transolutions since March, and so far I'm very happy with them.  They pay $10 for training (7 hours a day for 4 days the first week, if I remember correctly) and your first month you make $10/hour while you get used to your account.  You can also get extensions to that time period, as long as you continue making progress.  Once your evaluation period is over, your pay is based on production levels - from 150 up to 225 per hour, with the pay per line increasing as you go up - I think it work out to around $19/hour at the top level.  They also have bonuses, weekend differentials, and paid time off even for part-timers like me.


Hope that helps! 


hourly rate
You don't say what your experience is or rate of pay or how long you have been at this job and if IC or employee.  If you want to make $25 an hour you have to hit for 250 to 300 lines per hour if making 0.08 to 0.10 cpl.  If you are new, it will take a while.  But it is possible after years of experience and knowing how to do shortcuts, etc.  Just gotta hang in there.  You could not walk into an office and expect to make $25 and hour - gotta be patient and work up to it.  But it can be done but it has taken me many years to get there.  Patti
I have only done QA for an hourly rate. (sm)

QA is more than just filling in the blanks.  You have to give feedback and there is also mentoring.  New MTs to the company and accounts have to be on 100% QA, so those reports have to be listened to.  Doing QA on production is not a good thing.  If a company really cares about quality they would not pay QA Specialists by the line.   


Does MQ pay QA as hourly rate? Just

Hourly rate

Can anyone give suggestions of a MT company that pays hourly for IC work instead of line rate?  Can be FT or PT.


 


Hourly rate
Does anyone know of companies paying hourly rates?  Please email me if so, especially if using Escription platform.  Thanks
hourly rate
Yeah. Guess it must be a tall order these days.
hourly rate
I think the only place you're going to get an hourly rate for transcription is working in-house.  None of the work-from-home places pay hourly. There's no way to control if someone is actually working or not.
Line rate and hourly
Okay, if you get paid 2 cents a line and there are no errors and you don't have to do a QA feedback, that is different. I used to get 3 cents a line and not have to give feedback and then they switched. I think we should have to give feedback, but it takes time and no raise was given. I also have a $14 an hour job. They are both part time. I can make more on the 3 cents a line.

Just remember that pay rate may be only for a specific platform and not universal.  :)
MT hourly rate jobs...sm
Are there any companies that pay hourly for straight transcription?
Our company has a set hourly rate that
you are paid and your time accumulates just like any other job. 1-5 years we get 2 weeks plus holidays, 5-10 3 weeks, over 10 years 4 weeks.
Transolutions pay rate?

Can anyone tell me what they tend to start experienced MTs at.  Do you like this company?  Got work?


 


Does Transcend pay a flat hourly rate
If so, how much?
I might add that I make a decent hourly rate doing
QA, but I really earned excellent money doing MT. I cannot complain about my hourly QA rate at all. I earn more than many I know working hourly.
I have heard hourly rate is now lower in $12 to $15
per hour range. Lots of companies pay by line. Forget it with handling MTs - no win situation now matter how you deliver it. Truly the downside of the job.... a real bummer.
eTransPlus hourly rate 3rd shift M-F
Anyone with a clue about this, how much is the hourly rate, how they are to work for, their platform.  TIA
MQ pays hourly. Their starting rate
was the highest of all the top nationals who are still paying hourly, plus they provide all your equipment, pay for your internet and the benefits are great.  
How much PTO does TT offer? Is it at your calculated hourly rate? What's the pay cut for VR? Ty.
Thinking of leaving the Web. TT sounds like a better place to be. Thanks.
Hourly rate? That's a laugh. Try 6 cents a line nm

TransTech does - Hourly in addition to line rate

I used to make an hourly rate at a local hospital but s/m

The home-based MTs were on a tiered hourly scale depending on how many minutes we typed daily.  The in-house MTs were not on this scale and I believe they are the reason we lost our jobs to outsourcing.  They made the big bucks and could not even produce 80 minutes of dictation a day.  The home MTs had to produce 100 minutes a day to reach the maximum hourly pay. 


I feel that being paid by production is not such a bad thing because at least the ones who produce get paid for it. 


No line rate change, we are being converted to hourly
n/m
Medquist no longer pays hourly rate for QA - that

It is MME.  You do QA for 3 cents a line.  Then when that runs out, which it does, you do Editing at 5 cents a line.  And you also get straight transcription which is 8 cents a line.


Was in the pilot program and got more Editing and straight Transcription than QA. 


No more QA department for MQ. 


Worked out to a pretty good hourly rate, just not the right company for me. nm

If your hired at an hourly rate and you run out of work, then you dont get paid anything??
Just saying, you worked a total of 3 hours one day, ran out of work for two hours, then for that day you only get paid 3 hours? That would suck and it wont pay my bills.
oh and they have incentive if you type over where they add $$ to your hourly rate for all hours work

When MDI-FL pays vacation time, is it hourly rate or an average

Hourly rate PT hours & fewer line requirement
Title means nothing at my company. All I do is assign work.
About money, line rate is one thing, but hourly figures are another sm
Traditional: 8.5 cents per line. Top out at 225. $19.25 an hour.

Speech: 4.5 cents per line. Top out at 500. $22.50 an hour.

I split between the two and right now, that is running $700 a week or $36K a year. Not a huge salary, I know, but more than I made 10 years ago.

Could I push harder? Sure, but I don't need the money because I have structured my life so that I only need 1/2 my income to live on and I live alone. I like the part about not being exhausted on my days off, about being able to give up a terrible PT job, and having time to paint AND be able to have expensive, high-quality art supplies.

I am happy as a clam and I do not think that VR will take my job!!!! My only worry right now is that my painting is taking off with art shows, commissions and internet sales. I won't be able to work full time as an MT if this keeps up, and I know it will. I love being an MT and when it ends in favor of my artwork, I will be joyous over one and very much saddened over the other. It is and has been a wonderful career for me.

I AGREE COMPLETELY! I'd rather be paid a consistent, respectable hourly rate

Transolutions info...sm
Please understand that I have to be careful what I say so that I don't divulge private information. However, I would be happy to share general information because, so far, I have found them to be a good company to work for, and they are looking for experienced people.

Their pay scale is broken down to an hourly rate based on the number of lines you produce on average in an hour. They have pay levels that range from 0 to 5. At the top pay level, the pay ranges from $19-21 per hour.

Their accounts are varied, but you should assume you would be placed in an acute-care environment. I have a primary, a secondary, and a tertiary account. My primary is acute care as is my secondary. My tertiary is primarily ER.

The training is done long distance and is designed to bring you on line within a few days to a week. It encompasses company protocol first and then account specific protocol for whatever accounts they assign to you.

You will be working in either Medrite or Medtype. I believe both are DOS formats, which I prefer anyway.
Info on Transolutions

Any recent comments about Transolutions?  Last info I can see is 2004.  Thanks.


Transolutions info
Most accounts are still on the DOS system. They're rolling out new accounts slowly onto the new internet system. The pay is good, benefits are good, time off is generous. QA pays bonuses for accuracy and low amount of work going on hold. Six paid holidays (only need to work 3 one year, the other 3 the following year and only 4 hours each holiday at time and a half plus holiday pay), paid sick time, paid personal time, and 2 weeks vacation per year. In a year and a half, I'll bump up to 3 weeks vacation. Good people in home office. Lots of people on this board have blasted them (and me personally for expressing my positive experience with them), but the company has been very good to me, and last year I made more money by a long shot working for them than I've ever made in my life.
Transolutions - any info? nm

Good or bad info on Transolutions
I am thinking of trying to get employment with the company Transolutoins out of Lake Bluff, Illinois.  Does anyone know anything good or bad about them?  Now it is saying they start out paying 11.18 to 12.36 cents per line for editing and supervisory positions.  It almost sounds too good to be true.  Does anyone work for them that could help me out?
Transolutions? Any info appreciated sm
did a search and cannot find any recent info.  Do they pay for spaces?  One older post indicated they did not.  Also interested in Star team info.  Thanks!
See Transolutions info message above for answer. NM

Any recent info on Transolutions? 29 days PTO? sm

I am very interested in working for Transolutions again.  It's been many years and I'm currently with the Q.  I went on the Transolutions website and it looks like I can accumulate a total of 29 days of PTO after only three years - granted 6 days for holidays, 3 for personal, a week for sick, etc...?  This certainly beats MQ's 18 days PTO after (I believe) five years of employment.


Does anyone know how Transolutions tuition reimbursement works?  Is it for a specific school, field related and/or specific classes?  I'd also like to further my education but can't afford to and MQ doesn't have any type of tuition reimbursement so that would be nice to have.


I already know about Transolutions' QA program and how they will deduct if you don't meet a 97% score??? - can't remember exact percentage but I didn't have any problems with their QA so not too worried about that.


I'm looking to do radiology only.


TIA.
