Pay period goes from 1st of the month to the 15th, then 16th to the end of the month. sm

So, I guess you could maybe get by with less than 1000 a day, although the incentive tier would make it worth your while to do a bit more.  I am using ExText, and yes, I find it easy to use, but then I used it for a year with another company.  I think their other platform is Mongoose, and I know nothing about that, so really cannot say.


Yes, they are hiring now.  In fact, there is a $500 sign-on bonus.  I think it is all just acute care.  I'm sure they would love to have someone with your experience.  Rhonda Durham is the recruiter.  I am sure she could answer any of your questions.  I am happy to help too, if I can, but I am relatively new.  The account I am working on is mostly psych, it seems, and I am loving it.


Another nice thing, their benefits start after 60 days, not 90 like most.


Good luck to you.

1st through the 15th, 16th through the end of the month. nm
 
Pay period is 1st and 15th of every month
I submitted my timesheet on 08/31 after working 2 weeks to be paid on the 1st.  They have direct deposit and the check is not in my account.
Paid twice a month, with invoices submitted on the 16th and the 1st. sm

Until now, there was no set pay date, but an email today stated that the funds wold be released within 5 business days, and they are working on having it done within 3 days.


Regardless, it is still quicker than any place else I have been paid.  At another place, the pay period ends the same, but I am not paid until the 8th and the 23rd, and then it is by check, not direct deposit (Cardioscribes pays via direct deposit.)


At my full time job, the pay period ends on Sunday at midinght, and I am not paid until a week later on Monday.


So, even though it is a bit different not having a specific date to call payday, I still am paid quickly and have no issues with it, but then again, I only work part-time.  The people there are great, and it is cardiology clinic work, so it is a nice change of pace for me compared to acute care.  


Hope this helps.



 


 


On the 1st and 15th of each month
They have direct deposit and always pay on time.
Not sure if it is still true, but they used to pay once a month, on the 15th, sm

and no direct deposit.  I almost took a position with them, but that kind of backed me off.  Good luck!


 



The pay periods end on the 15th and the last of the month. sm

As the other poster said, generally we are paid witihin a week after that.  I think the latest I have received my pay was on the 10th.  It is true that it is a bit odd not having a set pay date, but at least I can sure I will be paid.  I read horror stories on here of companies giving bad checks or not paying at all, and it makes me cringe.  I am my sole support, so if I do not get paid, my world turns upside down in a hurry. 


If you are considering working for them, I wouldn't let that back me off if I was you.  They say the techs are working to fix it so that the line count doesn't have to be done manually, so perhaps in the future, it will be better. 


 


Direct deposit on the 1st and 15th of the month. nm

They do direct deposit on 15th and 1st of each month.

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


Rental is $20 month. Period. sm
I've never been asked to switch to a different shift. If you want a different account, talk to your supervisor and see if something else is available.

Good people, good pay, good job.
I know that payday is on the 15th, but since the 16th is President's Day, sm

do you think we will be paid on Friday like we were last payday?  This is only my 2nd payday, so I was just curious.  If I have to wait until the 17th, then so be it.  I don't want to be lectured by those I have seen about people expecting to be pair early.  As I said, it happened before, and I just wondered.  Since it is getting late and I have not yet received an email with my paycheck stub, it is looking like probably not. 


Thanks! 


Can anyone tell me the insurance cost for Amphion per month or pay period? I am a single mother
with 2 children under age 10.  I know you can't give me the exact amount, but anything you can tell me would be great!  I have asked the recruiter but have not heard back as of yet and weighing my options.  TIA!!
I was told several new accts are coming on this month and also next month, so
I'm not worrying.
TransHealth starts 1st day of month after month SM
you start, BC/BS, good rate on single, don't know about family premium.
Last month was slow on my account..but this month (sm)
we've been swamped...
The new insurance is very reasonable. I pay $200/month and they pay $200/month. sm
Unfortunately, I have had to use it a lot since it changed and I am very happy. They have covered everything.

The insurance is actually $80 cheaper per month than I paid at the local hospital, which is a large employer.


Usually pay period ends on the 15th and last

day of month.  Then you get paid somewhere around the 22nd for pay period ending on 15th and get paid around the 6th for pay period ending on the last day of the month.  If you work as an IC you may could expect pay one day after submitting an invoice, but if you work for a company it takes time to process payroll and then if DD it has to be submitted and it takes more than 1 day for that. 


When I worked for KS took me almost a month to get my first check. 


Pay period ends on 15th, checks on the 20th. This
is pretty standard industry-wide. 
$$ per month

I am trying to compare nationals versus working at a hospital.  Please respond if you have time. 


For all of you working for a national, what do average making per month?  How many hours per day?  Do you work for one doctor, a clinic, or a hospital? 


I, personally, would like to make $2500 to $3000 per month but don't.  Is that unrealistic?  Currently, I only average around $1800 and this is with no benefits; I have flexibility but no benefits. 


What transcripton platform do you guys find to be the most productive for you?


I realize you can't have everything, but you do have to live; also, I am trying to stay home because of my son, i.e., taking him to school, being there for school functions, sport's activities, etc. 


$$ per month
I make around 5-6K per month and have done so for 4 years running. I work around 45 hours a week with rotating accounts. I do get a high line rate of 12.5 per 65-character line.
A MONTH! What do they tell you when you
call or email them? I'm not waiting a month. I was hoping to get started this week as it is a new pay period and all. Wow. Good luck to you.
about a month

Exactly - that's why every month...sm
when they post the anniversaries there are plenty of employees with the company with 1-27 year anniversaries. 
In my second month with MW on EXT..sm
I have had very few issues. For the most part the sound quality is good. A couple bad docs but that is par for the course for a facility that size. Several ESL but some of them are better than the English-speaking I have done in past! I have had no issues making lines if I stay on-task **grin** I am happy I went with them. Hope this helps.....
Been there almost a month now -sm
I don't mind it at all. It didn't take me long to get used to everything. I did get paid and I think fairly. I check my line counts in my own way and I've found them to be perfectly accurate.

Every job is going to have difficult dictators. You know what they say, there's one in every crowd (okay maybe with doctors, there's more than one), but you'll have that anywhere.

They're extremely professional and treat you the same. I agree with the other poster, don't expect anybody to hold your hand there. So if you can stand on your own 2 feet, go for it.
P.S. I pay about $200/month

for two people and this is the highest end insurance (BC/BS PPO) through my hospital.   


I was with them for about a month and during that month
I had maybe one week of work. The rest I was out. Pay was so so. QA was a little strange about fixing things that were not wrong to begin with (changing six weeks to six week when it should have stayed weeks). I am still puzzling over that one. Anyway, more often than not, QA was wrong, but you could not tell them that.
it's the 1st of the month after your - sm
90 days are up.   So if you got hired Feb 15 then your insurance would kick in on June 1
Just in the last month
there was a post here about someone not being paid. My experience is from a couple of years ago, but in the two years since, I've seen posts here from time to time from people complaining about not being paid. Search the posts from the last month...you'll see someone just complaining about not being paid by them.
$26/month -- nm

I got one of those too a month ago or so
I believe this is from the same joint that is recruiting for the sQuid. I was tempted to look into it at the time but I had heard that the health insurance benefits offered by *S* had gone down the crapper. If you're interested, I'm sure you have nothing to lose. It would be nice if you could get job details without having to spend hours on testing first.
Was she AC for only a month or somebody else?
?
last month it was

Transtech was the greatest. This month's featured flavor -- Keystrokes. I am getting whiplash watching the stampede from place to place.


 


Been there just over a month
and I LOVE it. My production has doubled from that of my old job (I am now doing at least 2500 lines a shift). The pay is always on time and is direct deposited. I have a great ER account and always have tons of work. They did get a ton of new accounts recently, and that is why the have been hiring lots. I would recommend them to anyone.
I pay less than $200 a month
Hospital employee status through Diskriter. Different plans with different rates are available (depending on which hospital), but I have the most expensive choice available from my hospital(PPO).
that would be *A* month. sorry

13,500 A MONTH? (SM)
Can you please share how many hours you put in to make this much? Where do you work?
14,500 a month....nm

once a month pay
I'm afraid I don't trust employers that only pay once a month. That tells me they have to get paid before they can pay their employees. That's never a good sign.
I was there 1 month...sm
...and still on QA @ 7 cpl...I have 20+ years experience.  You will starve working for these people.
A month WOW! nm

I will be 54 this month....so are we the sm
same vintage??? LOL

I know you are not painting them all the same but it is a problem the way the MT field has become. I think there is a bigger market for experienced MTs and there will be in this country in the future. With all the jobs going to India, the ones that are left are going to be the ones that will be picky and hire us.

These MTs don't realize they are burning their bridges and are going to be out on their butts and its going to be their own faults.

Email me if you like.

I pay $45 per month for
It's truly unlimited - have never been billed one cent more in the 1-1/2 years I've had it, and have used up to 15,000 minutes a month. Plus it's an analog line so even if your power goes out, you still have phone service (I keep an old-fashioned princess phone handy so I can plug it directly into the wall, rather than use my remote phone which, of course, requires electricity!) And analog is a much more stable than voip so there are no annoying disconnects.

I see that nowadays it's called the All Distance package (unlimited local and long distance) and they're advertising $40 per month. Hope this helped.
at least twice a month we are getting accounts that use to be done by MQ sm
I know this because when they post accounts they say MQ had it. MQ is definitely losing accounts. I just don't understand if you don't get work and don't want to leave MQ why not get an additional job?
