I very rarely come to these boards because I don't have time to listen or read all the whining but I have to put in my 2 cents here. I am one of those MTs who was upped to my higher line rate from my old company. Yes they asked me for verification of my line rate and I gave them my check stub that showed the lines I made and the line rate.
As I said, just my 2 cents. I love working for this company, everyone is very helpful and extremely professional.

Just my 2-cent thoughts of IC
I don't think that companies who give you a pool to work from should consider this an IC position on any level since the MT has no control over how many doctors need to be learned at one time. How many other independent contractor job types do you know who would have to learn that many new 'skills' to complete a job?
Obviously a pet peeve of mine..If I am working as an IC, I should be able to determine how many I would/could learn and still stand a chance of getting the work or keeping the work. It doesn't work that way though. If you aren't willing to learn 30 different dictators, in 10 different fields, well, move along little doggie.
If I was offering 4 cents, I'd keep going but 2 is enough.
The companies that pay by the word don't even pay 1 cent

i just turned down 4-cent offer, too
Of course, someone else will do it. They always will. But it won't be ME.
Stick to your guns, Gals. 
Seemed really low to me, on the incentives. Maybe 1 cent per line for a lot of lines.

Oh good grief. A half a cent here or there does
not make you go from barely scraping by to RICH. It helps, but it's not that big of a difference. It's just incentive/bonus. Please get a grip.
7 cent a line $8.75 hr (1000 lines 8 hr=$70) TERRIBLE nm

My 1 cent (keeping it low so opinion doesn't get offshored).
I agree with a lot of the other people. I will say, though, that I would be A-OK just working on Word since I'm assuming getting a the DocQScribe set up for a bunch of people might be cost prohibitive, at least at first.
Also, since you are talking hospital transcription, that is going to mean 7 day a week coverage. If the need arises, I would rather see rotating weekend coverage rather than requiring everybody to work every weekend.
Also, while cross-training is great for vacations, sick days, heavy work, it would be terrific to be able to get an account and not have to chase the work across 6 different accounts in a crazy MT version of musical chairs. I guess that would mean not over-hiring.
It may be unpopular, and it's probably easy for me to say because I've been at this for so long, but since we don't really establish seniority at a company, I would love to see some sort of reward for years on the job. I think I bring more to the table than someone with 2 years, and it would be great to be rewarded for that.
I'm sure I'll think of more...it's been so long since anybody asked what could make my job great that I had given up even thinking about it!
9 months and it is not worth staying a year to get the BIG .002 cent raise.
Working for OSi will burn you out quick!
ANON, you're such a loser for posting your 2 cent goodbye!
