8 hrs & 1100 lpd have to occur for FT benes. FT pay 8.5 cpl. People have had trouble with paychecks
/
Benes
WebMedX is less expensive and although Medware's ins. is okay, WebMedX is better, IMO. You can ask their recruiters - they will give you that information. They understand you need to make an informed decision. I've worked for both companies.
I get 11 cpl but still wish I had benes..nm
.
How's the pay/benes? Do they
pay for spaces, headers/footers, demos, etc.? I wish we had a chart that showed who pays for what & their average pay range... ;)
An ad here from April said FT job w/benes, but pay is said to be low and
s
Benes for less than 35 hours

S.O.A.P. does.  Great to work for too!


With 10+ yrs, 9 cpl is okay as an employee with benes,
but not good as an IC. You can do better than that.
What are the benes like at Focus?
(Specifically, for QA/QC/auditors.)  How much PTO do you get, is health insurance expensive, etc.  Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Use ExText software, 150 lph to get benes, pay is 7.4-10 cpl. nm

Don't know about benes, but some places inside
SPI/Cymed (32 hrs?? maybe).  Opti-Script (min. of 35 hrs), Northeast Transcription (32 hrs/1000 lpd, but pay on 70-char. lines at 7-8 cpl).  Transolutions (32 hrs), SOAP Transcription (32 hrs), and Med-Scribe, Florida (35 hrs). This is not recently dated information and may have changed since last obtained. nm
Yes, they offer benes, std 90-day wait....sm
Insurance very affordable. Pay on time, direct deposit. Seem to have plenty of work and set you up with more than 1 account as necessary. DVI platform.
The letter said that the STM has the discretion to not let your benes be s/m
affected. I would not take that as gospel in this day and age.
Wanted to add, that's as an employee with benes.

Yes, and also figured into that is the loss of benes,
sick days, PTO, insurance, etc., that you would get with employee status.
Good line rate, benes and ins.
Have been with Webmedx a while and they offer BCBS, Delta Dental, disability and life ins, plus PTOs.  Line rate,  supervision, work platform and company are all awesome in my book.  Been an MT for 20 years....Good luck.  Hope this helps. 
Old posts had them starting at 6 cpl and topping out at 9 cpl. Don't know about any benes. nm
s
Seems fair, especially if there is a 90 day waiting period for benes just like a new hire. nm
.
I applied recently. They want 1000 lpd, use an FTP site. Didn't say anything about benes for FT.

More than 11cpl?? I had a recent contact with Ax tell me they get 8.5 cpl. Hmmm...nm

Recent Oracle contact said it was atrocious for several reasons, and you pay your own LD. Would

How recent is this info? A contact said I'd be lucky to start at 7 cpl w/years of exp. nm

Recent contact who was there said they were unorganized, paid low, & flooded you with paperwork.

More than 1 backup acct? Able to work more than 8hrs or not? Is OT
s
No PTO for part-time. Not sure if you can work part-time or not since recent rule change. sm
You do pay a deposit for their equipment.
Contact said pay was on time but there's a real language barrier with their 1 tech person. nm

pay on time direct deposit, work usually plentiful, recent management changes, email me if you want

to ask specific questions and I'll try to answer them.


Read thru the ads and see, but 8-9cpl is what's being
s
Any Co. paying at least 9cpl for
I have over 10 years of experience and would love to find a company that pays at least 9 cpl.  Are there any out there?  Thanks
Which companies pay at least 9cpl?
I think we 10+ year, experienced MTs that only get 7 cpl would love to know the answer to this questions.   thanks
New to MQ at 9cpl - congrats and MHO.long reply

I am also one of the few I guess, who does like the DQS platform and am making more lines per hour, now over a year on it, no where close to your line count though


But, what amazes me is the total inconsistency, once again, between the various MQ offices.  Been with MQ for 11 yrs now, I also work evenings and weekends, starting at 11pm and make the majority of my lines on weekends, yet you started out at 9.5 and I'm only getting 8 cpl ? My office does not know what a raise is and had quite a few lay off's after losing a huge teaching hospital account, so even asking for one, some of my fellow MT's have been looked at like they are asking for zillions.


Your starting line rate at 9.5, is quite frankly and not rudely, hard to believe or swallow for just this reason...many many of us have been there/done that and are not making the same rate. 


I truly congratulate anyone who can get the rate they need to survive on w/o giving up life itself, but I'm thinking you should enjoy and make the most of it because, unless they will be bumping thousands of us up in cpl, once (and if) the threatened new line rate comes out along with the "new consistency nationwide) across all the offices, you may find that line rate out the window, which would be wrong of them to do so.  They promise and I hopehave realized because of all the legal issues, that they DO need one game plan across the board, bene's, salaries, CPL, bonuses, PTO, etc, etc. to be fair and consistent.  But, to make it this way, there will be some or even many of us MQ MT's that will be unhappy.  I hope not, but with MQ, ya never know. 


The latest Qnews on yet again, problems with their filing with the SEC does not look promising for any bright future with pay for us measly pions who are the backbone of the company, but it would be nice to fantasize that corporate would realize if they make us happy by providing us a way to make a decent living w/o turning off our life support, then the MT's could be so instrumental in their "forward looking statements"..geee and I'm not even one of the new suits making the mega millions ..


I just happened to troll through the QNet reading this and noticed that NO ONE has asked FRANK any Q's since May?  Wonder why that is? Maybe the legal suits have advised him to not take any more ask frankie baby Q's as God forbid, someone could bring another class action in that area.  Sorry ladies, was a very long night full of any and all ESL's not even off the boat..did I have problems with them...nope..made my best lines on them (even though I felt wiped for one of them because it seemed to take all his energy just to dictate the reports), it was the dang lilly white good ol boys who I will call Tigger & Piglet because one kept hopping all over, while Piglet would stop, studder, shuffle, walk to one side of the trauma bay on the other side of the room from the phone...then run back at 90 mph to say the next word, therefore making me a great candidate for sign language now


Yes, it did occur to me and that's why I WAS polite...(sm)
unlike the poster who followed me! I too had to learn how to search the archives and that's why I explained how to do it. But, since we get the same question several times a week it is certainly not rude to post exactly how to search. I've never seen it explained here and thought that someone should take the time to do so.

On the other hand there have been so many questions on Focus - on a weekly basis, and sometimes two or three times a week, asking other users to search is not rude.
Did it ever occur to you this was intentional???
DUH!!!  You Brainiac!!!!
Did it ever occur to anyone that this gal is EXCITED about her
.
Did it ever occur to you to call **** or someone who can actually help you? sm

Makes no sense to me to come to this board and continually B&M -- be proactive.  Talk to the office, if they cannot or will not help you, find another job.  You are wasting your time here, and making yourself look bad in the process.  It seems that you just want to whine and bash a company rather than doing something to actually make your situation better.


Did it ever occur to you that MAYBE THEY DIDN'T KNOW???? SM
That possibly they were lied to by the account?? Why would they pay to train you and upgrade all the equipment if they knew in advance that the facility would move completely to editing their own work.

As for not being told, where were you people when the multiple conversations took place? On Mars?
10.75 and 11 cpl is Great. I have 25+ years and only making 9cpl as employee and 10 cpl as IC- Do

Do you mind e-mailing me you employer if they are hiring?


Is 9cpl a good pay for employee position with benefits?
Trying to make comparisons.  Thanks
Lots of work right now, but guaranteed you won't get 9cpl as a base. sm
You CAN get 9cpl if you work nights and/or weekends because of shift differentials, AND if you are a high producer (some production incentive but not a lot), and there is an extra 1/2 cpl for CMT. Years of experience factor in, as well.  This is for employee status. I do not know what IC rates are.
Along with some other things to occur recently.

Lots of communication regarding 401K roll-out with discretionary match, but no word on other items we would like to hear about that is important to MT's.


Did it ever occur to you to skip over those posts? Duh.

Well, Cleopatra queen of denial - ever occur to you that if someone
this industry has gone down the toilet and there are so few companies worth even working for these days?  You're amazingly misguided, but whatever gets you through.
Yikes!!! Excuse me. All I did was ask who the company might be. Did it occur to you that there are
some companies we might choose NOT to apply with, or have applied already with and turned down an offer, or just not interested in a particular company. Who said you were covering anything up??? I prefer to apply with companies that I WANT to apply with, not with a mystery employer. I'm giving out personal information and have a right to know who it is going to. Someone is very defensive. What did I ever do to you!!!!
Oh for heavens sake! Did it occur to you that maybe she left there for a reason? She
addressed that when she came to Transtech and emphatically that she was not interested in offshoring and they are not going to offshore. Sheesh! She worked for ONE company that offshored and she left that for a reason (didn't like offshore).
9cpl and 11 cpl for weekends. Use ExText. My ExText version wasn't compatible with theirs

Contact RBJ
directory, go to World Wide News, but keep trying.   You may have a good fit, and company may or may not shut down, but plz remember her clients are reading this as well.  Will the client base be there in a month???
Thanks! Please contact me at:

octobermt@yahoo.com with info.


Thank you.


If you can get anyone to contact you and
actually hire you and then follow through after that it probably is a good company. I was hired last year but never heard back from anyone and when I would call nobody had an answer for me.
What recent changes? nm

nm


I'm not sure, but I would contact them again as
when I applied, I heard back in less than 24 hours.
UST...no contact
I have tested with them, sent my resume about 5 times, still won't call me back to say yeah or nay, what does it take? Just shoot out an e-mail either way, I hate companies who never give the courtesy of a reply at all.
