    I think I hear honeymoon period in above post.

    I don't think CB has been at Transcend long enough for a promotion, still in the honeymoon period
    But with her skills she might be promoted in no time!
    Not for one payroll period. No company is that rotten and

    Honeymoon over at Transtech
    Everybody has been so nice for the past year and everything has been smooth but why are we suddenly now running low on work?  Did they overhire.  There was a feeding frenzy on MT Stars and everybody wanted to go to work for Transtech, and it doesn't mean that Transtech is supposed to hire everybody that applies.  Alot of people left Medquist, OSi and SPI-Cymed and I think that Transtech hired them all.  Now the rest of us who have been with Transtech for a while have very little stinking work. Transtech please stop hiring.  It was good while it lasted but I am tired of being low on work.
    The Alltype Honeymoon

     


    usually lasts about 4 weeks, 6 weeks top.  Please check in later!.  


     


     


    Yes, yes, and yes. Honeymoon over real quick! nm

    Still in honeymoon phase, midwest. You might not
    have been at this for a much, much longer time and will be able to help you once you do hit snags in the road. And you will. It is NOT being negative, it's being honest. I do not believe in portraying being an MTSO as the answer to all problems, either, because it's not for everyone. I worked long, LONG days as an MTSO with several clients and couldn't keep subcontractors despite paying well and pretty easy clinic work. I was stressed to the max and had zero time for myself or my family. Negative, you bet! At least it grew to be negative FOR ME, which is why I don't do it anymore. If it works for you, fantastic, but don't act like just because it doesn't work for others that makes them wrong somehow. This is about sharing experiences and everyone has a different one.

    I found a great MTSO to work for now, I'm treated well and make as much as I did as an MTSO once I subtract all the free hours I worked, supplies bought, gas spent on errands, etc., etc. I'm a much happier person as a result, plus I actually get to be with my family-and without guilt that I should really be working! Like I and others have stated, it's not all goodness and light.

    Not all MTSOs are terrible to work for and not all MTs are cut out to be MTSOs, and that's a fact.
    You better pray your honeymoon doesn't end soon.
    Most of us have been put on crappy accounts and even those are out of work most of the time.  One minute I see so many jobs I could not get to the bottom of the list and then they are all gone within 5 minutes.  Of course this is on swing/grave so probably the time the injuns attack.  I tried mornings too, but there was nothing until almost noon when the work built up again, so I guess we have to work noon to 8 until they find more of of the foreign devils to take over completely
    Yeah. It takes about 8 months to end the honeymoon.

    Been there. Honeymoon stage with eTrans lasted 1 week. Not there any more...nm

    You certainly are a lucky ducky. Wait until the honeymoon ends.

    part-time IC is 5000/pay period and full time IC is 10,000 per pay period. Need to talk with
    recruiter about cpl, I'm sure it varies with experience. 
    hateful owner, hateful managers, awful company. You'll hate it. period

    Well, you can tell it is the last day of the pay period.
    :
    16,000/pay period
    This is for 2 weeks, correct? You are able to transcribe 8,000 line per week; I can only currently do 6,000
    You can always tell the end of the pay period is near.
    :
    That would have been $73.53 less than MQ last pay period for me n/m

    About $9/pay period or you can use yours

    Per pay period?

    PAY PERIOD
    12,000 LINES PER PAY PERIOD OF 15 DAYS, NOT PER WEEK, AND THAT IS ABOUT RIGHT
    but pay period
    It is like 9500 lines for part time and 12,500 lines for full time per bimonthly pay period
    I do 16K to 20K every pay period sm
    These last 3 weeks have been terrible for work load. I cleared 16,000 for this pay period, but it cost my body. I worked evenings helping out when there was too much work and and had to hunt and peck during my shift. It was Spring Break and anyone who does much acute care will tell you, work is SLIM during that time. I still got my lines, however.

    Regularly, and I work 1st shift, I get about 1500 to 1650 WITHIN my shift. I don't have a lot of normals, but I have an outstanding expander. I am reaching for 18K every 2 weeks, but I am not quite there. I have not been with the company 90 days yet, I am new.


    No , only about 10.00 a pay period
    nm
    not $50 per pay period ... sm
    What she meant was, the computer is a $300 deposit, it is taken out over 6 payperiods at $50 per pay period. After that, there is no fee for the computer and if you leave and they get their computer back, you get your $300 back. just wanted to clarify.
    End of pay period!
    That's the way it always is. MTs don't make their line count so it waits until the end of the pay period and then they gouge what's there. It's not right but that's what happens.
    10,000 by the end of the pay period - sm
    so it does not matter how much you do a day, they just want 10,000 lines in the period for FT, 5,000 for PT. I have assigned accounts though, so no pool, I do what comes in on a daily basis, always of 10,000 lines usually about 12-13,000, but some of that is edit at .03 a line.
    Must be end of MDI pay period
    Little to no work in my primary. 
    Then you weren't there for the last pay period which should be DD on the 5th and was not done unt

    It's $20 per month, not per pay period.

    Family is about $240 or so a pay period
    Including dental and vision.

    Period v. semicolon.  Comma should be here or there or not.


    How common is Pay Period at net 30?
    Was made offer to start with a company, have to work 30 days, then pay is net 30!  That's 2 months without income.  How common is this?  I  know they're are not going to pay until they get paid.  Yikes!
    11,000 a week - do u mean pay period??
    x
    How do you do this Jo? In an 8 hour period? I believe you, just want to know How!
    I am with Keystrokes and I can't do it. Hats off to you. What platform? I have seen fast typists do this before.
    No holiday. It's the end of the pay period sm

    Nearly always low the Monday beginning the new pay period. Never fear, we'll be buried by Wednesday again. 


    11,000 lines per pay period. nm

    It's important to ask if you will have 20,000 a pay period
    xx
    it says 64 dollars a pay period, below

    Do they still move the end of the pay period whenever they like.
    They weren't bad to work for but that drove me crazy. I had it in my mind that the end of the pay period was on Sunday so I would work my schedule around that. So say on Friday I would think, Great, 2 more days on this pay period just to find out they were cutting it off on Saturday. I believe this was some bizarre attempt to be able to make payroll by cutting the pay periods short. I could understand if it was once or twice but it happened too many times and I find that made me nervous and wondering why you would changes pay periods so quickly without real notice. The company I work for now has their pay period dates set in stone for the whole year so I know exactly when the pay period ends and when I get paid.
    Is that $12,000 per pay period or 12,000 keystrokes

    I had no idea the QA period was your
    testing period and that they would oust you if you didn't do well.  Glad I did okay. 
    After probation period
    The first year you get 3.5 days.  After 1 year you get 10 days.
    Not true for me. I do 300 LPH but not over 10,000/period. SM
    It is certainly NOT their intent to give us a bonus raise, although no MT company would do that these days.
    I type 15,000 a pay period

    I work 7-hour shifts and I range no less than 1500 lines a day.


    Same here. I'm only saving $11.54 a pay period
    but they almost take it all away with the vision.  After all the trouble to get insurance in the first place, now we had to do it all over again. I only got my cards from the old insurance at the end of March!
    Axolotl is 51.31 per pay period for
    medical, $3.73 for dental, and free vision.   Very good insurance if you are in network, so/so if you are out of network. 
    Have you gotten paid yet? They said pay period

    It is only 8 days since end of pay period
    Most companies pay 2 weeks after the end of the pay period. What are you worried about? NOBODY pays the next day after you submit you invoice.
    I would not work for them period. nm
