Average Pay Rate for QA Editors
I don't want to know anyone's personal information, I was just curious as to what the average rate of pay is for QA editors, both in-house and home-based.  Thanks
What is the average or going rate for MTs these days?

I've gotten a couple of offers for jobs.  The pay seems aweful low for someone with 3 years experience.  Yes, I know that is a lot less than some but I'm certainly no new graduate.  I've gotten offers for IC positions starting at 5 and 6 cpl for 65 character lines.  Today I got another for an IC position that pays 6.5 cpl for 65 character line without spaces. 


I may have to take one of these lower paying jobs until I can find better because my family needs the income.  Hopefully there is better out there... geeze.  Please, is this the 'going' rate for us now.  :(


May I ask what your line rate is on average? TIA nm

Can you tell me what the benefits are like, line rate, average lph there, thanks..
Seeking a new job..
What average line rate do they start at?

What is the average line rate for eScription VR editing? I have
heard so many different things that I don't know what's what?  Also, for those of you on eScription, what is the averages lph that you are able to do.  TIA.
Anyone have a good average for getting paid by the minute?
I have never worked this way so what is a good rate for cents/audio minute?
When MDI-FL pays vacation time, is it hourly rate or an average

PTO paid out based on average hourly earnings. They typically
do not pay for downtime unless it's an unusual occurrence.
Anyone who left eTransPlus- did they pay you your PTO days you had accrued?
Did you have to give a 2-week notice?  Did they hold your paycheck until you returned equipment?
Avge rate now 1.00-1.25. If you can get paid
for links, you will make a lot more money. If you are looking for radiology, try Keystrokes. I have worked for two hospitals that went to them and also for three other services that do rad, but KS paid the best and had the most rad work by far.
Except that US MTs don't get PAID a fair rate -nm

...would make more if you got paid a cpl rate! nm

What does "DOE" mean on the job seekers board for the rate to be paid?

You only get 3 holidays OFF per year. PTO is paid at a very low rate. There is 401k...sm

But the company match is only up to 2%. Employees are required to work at least 1 weekend day every week.


All of the hospitals/clinics have a lot of ESLs, that's just the way it is. But a lot of them also use canned normals, which we love.


There's a lot more to consider than how much the medical plan costs.


Futurenet AQ not paid by report any more? Going to line rate.


 


sucks


No, I am not paid any flat rate and I told that recruiter
I gave my notice, but he continues to ask me. Of course, I have not given my notice and will see how this job plays out. One thing to note is the recruiter claims I have a great account that many would be happy to have. May be he is worried about fabrication.
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.
do you find being paid per the minute pays better than per line pay rate?

Thank you so much for your help!


This is not true. I have been there a month and get a good line rate and paid for spaces. ??? nm

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

MQ MT/ME packets

Not sure where to put this question, this is first time I've had comment/question on this web site so sorry if this is in wrong place :)  I'm wondering about all these comments that sound like the people have already received and read this MT/ME packet that aren't supposed to be mailed out until sometime next week?  Have some people already received them?  thanks :)


packets
Thanks for the responses; I'm in lower midwest so will look for mine in the next few days :) appreciate the feedback.
Actually many of us have packets already
I don't recall the answer to this question for sure, but it may be at the hourly rate.
Got E-mail from MQ - packets to be out by 10/07. (sm)

I am keeping my fingers crossed.  There have been many, many changes in how transcription was done since I first began.  In fact, in the old days there was no working at home and I have to admit I am old enough to remember doing this with carbon sets and having to correct several pages if you made a typo. 


I am hoping that whatever changes are coming about in the industry that I can adapt and find a way to make it work for me for just 11 more years then I can sit back and bask in the sunshine of retirement with my hubbie.


Were the packets indivualized or

Were these packets individualized as mentioned days ago on this post?


MQ--PTO and incentive question for those who have packets

What is the scoop on getting the 18 days of PTO?  Info I have seen says "up to 18 days" is this based on the 150 per line/40 hour week classification or do you have to do more than that to qualify for the full 18 days? 


On the incentive, so I get that it's 1 cpl for 1200 lines per day and goes up from there.  Would you be willing to post the scale of how it goes up from there?  Or if that's too much, say for example one types 1800-2000 lines a day...what's the incentive amount for that range?


Thanks for the info, trying to learn SOMETHING that will help me put a positive spin on where this is going!!


no one has the packets yet, remember? another 7-10 days...

Uh, look at the posts below. Lots of MTs have their packets. nm
nm
Higher up PM told me packets mailing out on 9/30.
.
Just remember, what MQ says in the packets today is not necessarily what they will agree to
:(
for MQ STAT employees tier rate applies to ME rate as well and how calcluated?
for a STAT MQ employee:  Does anyone know if the tier rate is going to be applied to the ME rate as well or are they going to go with the 80% of the MT rate for each tier level?  If the tier rate doesn't apply as well to the ME rate then going by the 80% of the MT rate is less than if the tier rate would be applied.  I'm sure that MQ is going to go by whatever keeps money in their pockets.  Guess this is a question for the supervisor tomorrow.
Their line rate was less than my current nat'l rate, even with mucho experience. nm
no msg
VR rate is 1/2 rate of traditional typing,I believe it is 4 cents line.

I took that to mean you can get to that rate after 1600 lines and that is not the starting rate.
:
Webmedx ASR rate is 70% of your regular line rate. sm
So if you are on a 9 cpl account, you get 6.3 CPL plus any bonus / incentives / shift differential.
From the current editing rate not typing rate
.
Training on the system, not paid, but if you are physically typing reports then you are getting paid
nm
Oh, yea -- PAID, too. Grandmother PAID LEAVE would be a great drawing card to TT !!

Just love that PAID TIME OFF !!


Any company that makes you wait to get paid until they get paid by the client
is not a company you want to get involved with. That's part of being an MTSO, figuring out how to cover your payroll while waiting to get paid. I would stay away!
Is this a live count of lines paid for or same as CTRL I that we do not get paid for ?? nm
m
Me too.. the outsourced company was paid for and paid me for headers, but OSI does/did not.

I have always paid yearly and have never paid or been assessed a penaltly. nm
nm
Be glad you get paid tomorrow. We are paid on the 1st and the 15th, so sm
since the 1st is on a weekend, we don't get paid until Monday.  It will happen again on the 15th of August …sigh.  It is the only thing I do not like about the company, though, so I guess a few weekends of poverty a year is not too much. 
Lori never paid me and now ETC has not paid my friend.
What is WRONG with these companies?    
Is it still being paid on time if you are paid on the 1st and 15th.....
and if the 15th falls on a Saturday getting paid on the 17th?  My bank is open and posts on Saturday that means I am not being paid on the 15th doesn't?  This has happened a lot lately. 
At least you get paid, I would rather be paid late than not at all. Just my 2 cents.
nm
Yea, at least u got paid. Everyone who worked for TSI is STILL waiting to be paid

I don't understand how Jayne cannot pay us.  We have christmas coming up.  I bet her family has a fantastic Christmas because she is using OUR money to pay for it.  I worked so hard for her and I know the other girls did too.  How insulting that she will not return phone calls or emails or PAY us.  How does she look at herself in the mirror knowing that the MTs who did all the work FOR her did not get paid.  She even sent me an email saying I give you my word HAHAHA her word is nothing, obviously.  Well, I will call the attorney for the THIRD time and see what is going on. 


To the poster, at least you got paid even if it was late.  I sincerely hope you get your last check.


Average pay
Just curious. What would be considered average as far as pay?

No one can help you unless you have an average
line rate.  If you were doing 1000 lines/day then the answer would be easy, but if you have no experience and little education you're not going to be making that number of lines for months.   You will be making minimum wage or less for a while. 
Average pay

I hope you mean per week not month.
