Thats Right its not breaking any codes to tell the hospital that you didnt get paid for the work. nm
k
dont misunderstand me...we didnt work knowing we wouldnt get paid
How stupid would that be? We were paid a month behind. So when the 18th came we expected our check for the previous month. So that would be one paycheck. No one willingly works for free. I know i certainly wouldnt have typed as much as i did for her - taken time away from everything/everyone else - if i KNEW she wasn't going to pay me. Seriously, I hope she rots for what she has put me and my family through. I'm not talking about a couple hundred bucks. I'm talking thousands of dollars. Yep, I'm ticked
So, if not spaces paid, what cpl would be comparable to at least 9 cpl w/spaces, do you know??
Thanks.
Nope, didnt forget - the went grated my nerves, the other didnt
so i didnt mention it
paid for spaces
you can bet the companies are charging for spaces; and the buck stops where? not here, anyway.
Cy/Med and No spaces being paid!
MTS: I applied and passed Cy/Med - they tell me they have over 600 people working for them - why are so many MTs out there working for companies that do not pay for spaces - to get 600 lines you have to work at least 20% longer - why are you working for no spaces - I am told that many clients are doing this now - this is really going backwards in the MT business I think - Your comments please!
We do get paid for spaces. sm
Employee handbook states 65-character line, including spaces and all characters necessary to create the document. You must be mistaking Webmedx for another company?
You are not getting paid for spaces.

Do you know if we are paid for spaces?
Yes we get paid for spaces.

Getting paid for spaces versus not...
any good or bad experiences? Thanks
A post from May said they paid 7 cpl with NO spaces. That's all I have. nm

YOU ARE WRONG!! We are paid for spaces. nm

This is current, no spaces paid for
A response to my inquiry. Not for me, we make nothing as is or what we should.
RE: MTJobs Probity Penn.
The line is a 65 character black and white line.
The line rates vary from 8 to 9 cents per line and will be discussed if you are granted an interview.
I must DISAGREE. I get paid for spaces!!! (nm)
Yes, not being paid for spaces would reduce your pay A LOT!

Spaces, paid or not paid. Do you know? sm
I just started with a company and when I asked specifically if I would be paid for spaces, they said yes. When I started using their program I noticed that the line count for each job did not include spaces. I checked it with more than one program. I called them and they said there was a glitch in the program that would be fixed. It has been almost two months now and that glitch is still not fixed. My checks do not include spaces either. No one at the company knows what is up. I can't believe I am the only one at this company who has deduced that they are not paying for spaces. So, do you check your line counts to see if spaces are included? You might be in for a surprise. Man, I am tired of being burned when I am a reliable and honest IC. Maybe time to do something else. Thanks for listening.
What I meant by "making up" for not being paid for spaces was this.
I've been paid for spaces before but have had awful software (ex. - unable to refer to past reports, being down constantly, etc.) as well as no work situations and no pay for headers, footers, etc. Also, I've been assured of not running out of work. Based on the above, I accepted the position. Of course, if things aren't as described, I'll certainly look elsewhere. Other than the no spaces, everything sounds great - soo, gotta give it a try!
Yes I am happy, tho I'd be happier if I got paid for spaces - sm
I am very lucky I guess to have a good steady IC job, have about 22 hr TAT and take as little or as much work as I want (with notice). No minimums and can work whatever hours I want. Just have to finish all the work I am given whether it is 30 minutes or 90 minutes by the following mid-afternoon. Except for not being paid for spaces (I lose about $200-$300 a month due to this), it is very good and as close to perfect that you can get.
I just asked. We do get paid for spaces. If QA said that, they are wrong.

Still need help on figuring what would be a good cpl if paid w/o spaces.
See my first message above. Thanks
Probably not getting paid for headers, footers, or spaces. Do you get

In orig. post; she did not ASk if paid for spaces.

Are you paid extra to compensate for no spaces?
I just went back to my old job, because they are compensating per line the amount I would have made with spaces. In other words, I get 8.4 c with spaces, and between 9 and 10 cpl without spaces. If you are compensated with cents per line, the only difference is how you would react psychologically to seeing the low line totals at the end of the period. I had a time adjusting to this, but just remember 7500 lines without spaces equals approximately 10,600 lines with spaces. So you are not typing poorly, you are on target and if you are paid the extra amount then all is fair. It is how the client would charge, I assume. Talk to the people who offered you the job to double-check, but when I cleared this up, my misconceptions regarding lower line counts with no spaces, and productivity with the difference in cpl, I happily returned to my original company on an account that did not count spaces. Good luck on whatever you decide! :)
Wasn't somebody asking about Probity?? NO SPACES PAID sm
Don't pay for spaces.
Subject: RE: MT jobs ad (Probity Pennsylvania)
0.08 and 0.09 cents per line.... somewhere between there.
65 character black and white line.
(black and white means pay only what shows up on the paper as black letters on white paper)
Paid for spaces depends on the account. Good company. nm

Hired by Cymed and told they did not pay for spaces, but paid for headers and footers. Just did a
check on the line count, and not only do they not pay for headers and footers, they also pay for 2 lines less than I typed.
I agree, if you went to work knowing full well that the company paid 7 cpl no spaces
why on Earth did you accept the job?
If Ichart deducts 8% from ExText line counts, you are actually not getting paid for spaces
It is the equivalent of a 70.2 character line with spaces, 65 characters without spaces.
Wonderful company, but you type letters and look up addresses and you do not get paid for spaces nm

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

Yeah, be careful. I worked for MTSO that "said" they paid for spaces. I had to work really S
hard for my lines. Took a second job part-time with hospital, same platform (EXText), same font size, etc. and did the same amount of lines in half the time. Decided to look closer at the MTSO and found out they weren't counting spaces. I confronted them and all of sudden. Got lots of apologies and will add to your next paycheck. Long story short, never happened and I never had any work after that.
There are a lot of unscrupulous MTSOs out there. They lie, cheat, and steal!
I think most places pay for spaces. I work for TransTech and they pay for both spaces
as well as punctuation. I would never work for an MTSO that doesn't.
65 with spaces versus 65 without spaces; how to calculate?
Can someone tell me if you are getting 9 cents per 65-character line with spaces how much you would need to be paid per line to make the same amount per line if you are offered a ''65-character line without spaces?'' Thank you very much
All compaines count lines different--with spaces, without spaces, headers or no headers, 65 characte
a line, 75 characters, etc. I would ask each of them how they count their lines. Sometimes the way lines are counted does not make a company worth working for.
Sorry that didnt work
Their PTO is good. Lots of ESL's. I wasn't there long enough to see about a raise, but something after 120 days they were supposed to evaluate you for it. They always pay on time. Platform is very easy to learn.
I don't know about their line counting system. I don't trust it only because several times when I would send a job I would keep getting it back several times already typed by myself. I even got a report that was already fully typed from another person, I didn't take credit for it. Trust me, they wouldn't break or abandon a report that long it had no blanks and 1 QA marker. I didn't think it was right. I asked the WFC and she said to abandon it. I got that typed report back every time I would finish a job that day. So I dont know how often that happens, but I didn't like it.
Not trying to bad talk the place, everyone was very nice, nice doesn't cut it..when it comes to work, don't expect any, and don't expect anyone to get back to you about a second acount, plan on working all weekend every weekend.
I don't know about everyone else, but when I pick a schedule, I pick it for a reason, to work it.. not to work every day and every time but that. I don't mind it here and there, but it was EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND. Sayin how they are tired of always having the same people being team players.
They require one weekend day a week. I wasn't able to work any other time really than the schedule I picked
Anyways.. I worked 5 hour days there and I ended up with no more than 200 lines a day.
Might be different for you, but I'm just giving you my experience.
Check out page 2 or 3 on the company board there is more talk about them there.
I didnt know SpongeBob was
But when I just googled it basically all of the sites had it spelled that way except for a few unoffical sites. Maybe she was checking research skills. I duno. That is pretty stupid that you would be failed over something like that though. Probably better off.
They lost a lot of us, now, didnt they?
They will realize that  doesnt cut it.
How do you know she wants a pic if you didnt apply? nothing said in ad?

I didnt hear that.....
I was recently offered a job with them, but it was 60 to70% ESL so i politely turned it down.
Didnt he get shot?

Not to worry. Didnt think you came up with it.

I didnt see that when I logged in. Where do you find it.

2 days. I didnt have to call them..but if you don't

noyb - I didnt notice the..
experience/no experience. sounds even more strange!
I would apply but I'm not radiology MT...but wait....I don't need experience....and I have a C-phone and internet.....but wait....I would have to work in Yorba Linda. Geez...how can I decide?????? 
I didnt know if they had the 9 foot pedal in USB or not. Where did you get yours.
Your right.. the 9-pin is becoming outdated and obsolete. If there is a USB one out there that works then I need to get one. Can I ask where you got yours and have you tried it on a laptop?
They didnt worry that it would be affordable for the MTs.
you gotta be kidding, lol
I didnt see that info on their website. nm
