I love the PT incentive plan. As long as some of the lines are done on SM

the weekend, it is not hard at all to reach the incentive tier. Last check, I had $95 on there that I wasn't really even expecting because I had reached the bonus tier (and didn't even know it LOL).

I love the new incentive plan

I HATED the LPH system.  I like this new production system MUCH, MUCH BETTER ALREADY..  My LPH has gone down too because now I don't sign off to look up every little thing like I used to keep my LPH up and I'm also taking more time with the difficult docs.


Great incentive plan, but based on speed/lph not total lines produced. Works if you are fast.

I love the K. Long reports, good lines.

DSG Incentive plan
Can someone tell me what the incentive plan is for DSG?
Incentive plan

I don't have the figures handy, but there are two incentives.


The first is getting a 0.25- 1.0 increase per line depending on how many lines you type in the two week period, again, I dont have the paper handy but I think the first incentive starts at 5001 per pay period.  Don't quote me on it.


The other one is a bonus given every four weeks if your line count is over a certain amount starting at $20 and going up, and I believe the first count you have to exceed is 10001 in a four week period

That is Transcend's incentive plan, and they do pay according to it. Unfortunately, their new system, BeyondTXT, is FULL of bugs and is down frequently. There is no pay for downtime. I have worked for them two different times. The first time was when they were in their phase of overhiring and constantly running out of work. They designed their own new system about a year ago, and it is crap. They cut everyone's pay in half, and most of the old employees quit because they couldn't make a living. This doesn't take into consideration their phenomenal management shifts. I will never, ever work for them again. Maybe you will have better luck than the 100s of those who have quit for the last time.
TT Incentive Plan
Can someone please tell me what the incentive plan at Transtech looks like?  I'm trying to find a company with a good incentive plan.  That's probably a joke, but that's my goal. 
MQ PACKET INCENTIVE PLAN
could you give me a breakdown of the incentives?  If I type 2400 lines a day, what will my incentive be cpl?
10 to 12 as an employee? Is that with the incentive plan? sm
I work for them, too.  I'm really surprised at that line rate.
TransTech also has incentive pay plan.

webmedx incentive plan

Okay, have any of you other webers noticed a drop in hourly line rate?  Even though they are no longer using this as a criteria for incentive pain, why are hourly line counts less than before, I've been averaging about 200 per hour, since the new plan I can't even get to that.  Also one day noticed nothing but super long reports one after another, usually good mix of both long and short.  I thougt maybe I was losing my mind but then I heard from another the same thing.  Anyone else noticing this? I feel like I've been had once again.  Sure make the incentive plan look more attractive but somehow make it harger to get lines? 


WebmedX incentive plan
No, I haven't noticed this at all, in fact some days seem to notice the opposite, more lines per hour. Before, when pay was based on LPH, I would not get up from my chair without stopping my clock. Now I will actually let the dogs out, grab a water from the fridge, etc. without stopping the clock and it doesn't hurt me a bit. Also, I would find it extremely hard to believe that any of the higher-ups are wading through each and every job to route you only super long reports. I am looking forward to the first paycheck with the new incentive plan in it.
Webmedx incentive plan
So that's where my loooong reports went. :)
WebMedX has tiered incentive plan (sm)
...based on your line per hour rate.  It's nice, and I usually wind up making 2 cents more per line that way - for every line typed, not just every line over the minimum (the way it was at my last place).

So I'm pretty happy.  Don't know much about Axolotl, but it doesn't sound too bad based on the side-by-side comparison somebody made above.
E-Transplus has a good incentive plan
Even extra money if you do all your lines in your schedule every payperiod, extra money for shift differentials, plus a generous incentive tier. Also great benes.
Can you say what Medware pays and how their incentive plan works?
I have often been tempted to apply but that has always held me back.  Now if I could get a decent 10 cpl or something like that, I would go for it.

TransHealth just implemented an incentive plan, plus shift and weekend differentials. nm

Why not 1 job with more lines for more incentive? nm

I would love to get a card from my company...and a holiday incentive...

Sounds like you have it pretty good.   I didn't get squat from my company, and there are times when I do not even get a paycheck on time.  If your company is making a profit and able to pay you on time and offer an incentive, and is not owned by some private equity firm that may go under -- you are very lucky.

How long does it take you to get those lines and is
it straight transcribing or a mix?
but those were long, long lines for
most of the reports. You could make more with a 65-character line count.
How long does it take you to do 2000 lines nm

And my lines were often over 80 characters long. NM

Love Ops, make more lines on Ops than

anything else.  If you haven't done it in a while may be slow going until you're familiar with equipment/procedure terminology. 


On DQS, how long does it take to see how many lines you get credit for each report? nm

How long did it take you to build up to 2000 lines a day?

Beyond Text doesn't work long enough to allow you to get any lines. nm

Had you worked for them very long? How many lines were you averaging each pay period?
That is terrible.  I am so sorry to hear that.  Best of luck to you in your new job.
My experience of "working with me to get more lines" took too long! I can't sit back and wa
Just my experience! 
I love it. Got my full-time lines first week.
First time in years I am back to making my old money again. A good match for me, at least. IMHO. Been in the business over 26 years and I like it a lot. Can see acct. specs while typing, samples, have normals and inserts, etc. Never a problem and that was from day 1. And I am not a recruiter, I am an MT who has been around the block enough times to know a good think when I have it and to stay put. Good luck to you.
Wouldn't do it. You'll end up with lines that are in the 70 and 80 chars. long length. They

I work that, had TONS all day long, never ran low got to 1500 lines WITHIN my shift too. nm

I am able to get my lines/hours in as long as I flex a little within my time window. (sm)
Are you hiring on now or just looking? 
I disagree. I love Meditech and it is not slow. I currently do 400 lines/hour with sm
my Expander and have no connecting problems. It is not a dial-up connection, it is VPN with DSL. That might be the difference.

There are also two types of Meditech, Client and Magic. I use Magic and love it and Client is supposed to be even better because it is Word-based.

Different strokes for different folks.
Don't worry just find out and then have a plan A and plan B
I have gone through something like this but not with that company. I too am the insurance provider for my family and there are preexisting conditions, so a private policy is no good.
First of all, I work elsewhere but had the same situation. I fell short of line count, but not because of me, because they did not have enough work, and I like many others cannot make quota because of the way they count lines. Then, on last paycheck there was a negative on insurance money taken out of check. I thought I lost insurance, but found out at the end of the year, they did an audit and found out that I overpaid all year and so I actually was owed money that check.
In the meantime, I found another job but have to wait 90 days for insurance. Can't find a policy to bridge the 2 jobs, insurance is on my mind all the time. My heart is with you. Personally I am getting the 90 day meds, working on my second job which will become my real job and if I lose the insurance, Cobra will kick in in case of disaster so that is like major medical.
Sorry such a long post, but I suggest: Not to panic. You probably did not lose insurance. Call the benefit provider to see you are still covered, not the employer. If you are not still covered, get 90 days of Rx if your plan covers by mail and be billed, immediately get another job which is a better place to work anyway (I found one) and in 90 days you will be okay. Some places like Disriter cover the first of the following month, but I would not necessarily suggest you work somewhere which is not so great just for insurance. You can consider TransTech. That would be my suggestion. Sorry for such a long post. But this hit a nerve and I wanted you to understand some options, as I have gone through it. Good Luck.
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

1800 lines is easily achieved. I average 300-340 lines per hour. nm

No problem :) No matter how long, it is too long for me - I am broke the day after payday. Kids wi
do that to you!

I know that they have worked very hard to make sure that checks are never late and I can say that in the past two years, I have had one problem (2 days late) and in the past 18 months, they have all been on payday and perfect.

I know that there are a lot of hard feelings in MT in general. I also know firsthand (and I am not mgmt) how hard KS has worked to get things going good.

I would not want to walk in an MTSO's shoes for any amount of money, but that's just me. I like to finish my work for the day, forget about work when not working and get paid on payday. I never want the other things that go with mgmt or owning a company of any kind :)
10 lines per minute = 1500 lines for 150 minutes - average. nm

I average 1200-1400 lines per day with a national, and am only getting around 600-800 lines per day.
It's been this way since the day before Thanksgiving. I've been doing this for almost 30 years now, and more often than from Thanksgiving until the new year is the slowest time of the year. I have some months where I am swamped with up to 2000 lines per day. I stash that little extra money, and take advantage of a handful of extremely slow days this time of the year to actually cook dinner, decorate for Christmas, or do Christmas shopping. I actually anticipate this slow time every year and have grown to enjoy the breathing time. Any time I have attempted to pick up extra work with another company to supplement these slow times, the minute I get adjusted to the new accounts, etc. I have no time to finish all of my work because my full time job with national gets slammed again. Hang in there if you can, and hopefully your work will pick up significantly around New Years.
They work with you to make sure you get the lines required or the amount of lines you want...
I have never had a problem getting more work
They definitely rip you off with your line count. Figured this out long ago and quit long ago
