    When I worked there you got weekend differential and even higher holiday differential
    and neither were required and no pressure to work and usually there was not much work as the extra pay made the MTs come crawling out of the woodwork!
    There is no differential pay for
    Tier 3.
    CMT Pay Differential?
    Does anyone know of any MTSOs who actually offer a pay differential for CMT status?  (Particularly part-timers and/or IC).  TIA

    shift differential
    i have been asking about a shift differential for over 2 years now as i mainly work in the evenings. it's like everything else with them they are in no hurry when it's something that benefits the MT.

    Webmedx pays shift differentials :)
    What about shift differential?
    My company does require a time sheet, but I think it's partly so they can pay your actual shift differential.

    Does Keystrokes pay more for later hours?
    No shift differential, but.......
    Their pay rate is a little higher than most companies, and it is really easy to get a good line count there. I do anywhere between 2000-3000 lines a shift, so I am very happy and find that I don't even need a shift differential to make great money.
    What is the avg cpl of 3rd shift differential?...
    ...seems like when I did third shift before for an MTSO the cpl differential was 0.005 or something like that.  Any info is most appreciated.
    shift differential
    I get 1 cent per line for 3rd shift.
    Does KS pay an evening differential?

    And if so, what time does it start?  Would those who work a split qualify for a differential? Or,  if you start early in the day then runs into the evening.


    How about the weekend differential?
    Does it bother anyone else that the new way they pay that seems to pretty much exclude everyone from getting it? Or at least so far I can't get it. They took me from a M-F shift and made me take a weekend day, which I complied with, thinking that at least I'd get the differential. Then two weeks later, they changed it to needing to work, and make your line counts, for those days. I don't know about all the other accounts, but my account usually just trickles in on weekends, and when all the transcriptionists get on there trying to make up lines or try to get the shift differential, there is no way that I am going to get my ever-harder-to-achieve line count. I'm looking at that green grass on the other side of the fence, and I've got to admit it looks pretty tasty.
    shift differential
    I think what the part about shift differential means that basically you do get one, but instead of it being some bonus tacked on it's automatically in your line rate, so maybe they'd offer you 8 cpl for the day shift but 8.5 for the night shift.
    Which companies pay most for 3rd shift differential?
    Need to make more per line.  I'm going to the highest bidder.  I have 27 years of medical transcription experience under my belt, and very quality oriented and produce 2000 lines per day.   Any bidders?
    I would like to see pay differential based on YOE or quality. sm
    One company i worked for would bump us up a 0.01 in pay if we got over 1700 lines a day. really good incentive for me as i didn't stop til i hit that as it was my goal. shift differential for nights/weekends/holidays.

    would love a step ladder for wages, say 1-yr exp make so and so, 5-yr exp so and so, etc. more pay for harder dictators. the dictators could be rated on a scale. this would help eliminate some cherrypicking as those who wanted ESLs for higher pay could have them.

    shift differential calculations
    Not hard at all, I work all 3 shifts at times, so when I start second shift, I total those before going into 3rd.

    Does Transcend pay a weekend differential?
    I was wondering.  I just talked to the recruiter and forgot to ask.  She mentioned a shift differential  but I don't remember hearing about a weekend differential.  TIA
    TransTech Shift Differential
    Can anyone tell me if the shift differential is for PT or is it exclusively for FT?  TIA.
    Does your company pay a differential for evenings,
    nm
    We get a differential at the hospital I work for
    If half your hours or more are worked after 3 p.m., you get $1.50/h extra (we get paid hourly).  I work 10:30-7 (with half hour lunch) in order to get the differential.
    shift and weekend differential - sm
    Not sure why YOU didn't get this differential, but I DID - no longer though. Just goes to show how many different pay brackets there are at Transcend. So, just because your ROM doesn't know about the pay cut doesn't mean it isn't coming. I got my call last week - some are only getting them now. I hope you don't get it, but forewarned is forearmed.
    10-11 cpl? I have some recent info that says they pay 9 cpl. You have a shift differential in

    INDIA is what happened to shift differential.

    Not MDI, but where I work, no weekend differential, no holiday pay...
    I HATE it. I've been looking for a job out of MT for a year - nothing. Your schedule includes one weekend day, and if a holiday falls on your regularly scheduled work day, TS - you get your normal line rate.
    I worked for them as an IC at 9 cpl with nice weekend differential - I don't think they have bene

    Well at least you got an offer. How many
    years of experience do you have?
    offer
    21 years, and most of that in radiology in-house. With a national for 5 years. How the time flies!
    They offer more than just PTO (sm)

    First of all, I have worked on VA as a primary before, and one should easily be able to get 1200 lines in an 8-hour period.  I've gotten 1500-1700 a day working VA if I work steadily for 8 hours.  We do get paid time off and that amount has just been increased (10 days per year the first year).  We get holiday pay (6 days) as well as celebratory day (4 days) pay, an extra amount per line for every line that we do on those days.  There are also incentives offered all the time.  I just started a 401K and OSi matches 100% of my contribution (up to 4% a pay period, fully vested), which is very generous. We also get a raise every year on our anniversary date. Sure...maybe that amount could be a little more...but some places you can go for years and get nada.


    The months of October and November, we're getting a bonus just for meeting our minimal lines for the month, and if we exceed those, the bonus is even higher.


    It seems there are people out there, specifically on the QA of things, who aren't happy with how things went for them.  I don't know anything about that, but I do know that I am very happy with OSi and you get more than a little paid time off for you 12,000 lines a pay period.


    I am considering a job offer from FN (sm)
    I was wondering if they take social security taxes out? Also, approximately what percentage of your income do you put aside for taxes? I want to make sure I do everything right!

    Why??? I'm considering an offer from them. nm
    nm
    What was the offer?
    If that is confidential information, could you please e-mail me?

    Thanks!

    job offer
    I said I would pay high rate of pay. I don't think they believed me. I don't need to hire people very often but this account has switched to electronic records and now one particular doctor who is an outside contractor who is paid to dictate for other doctors has swamped me with work. We always billed gross lines until last month. This was a real hit for all of us. I had no idea the profession had gone so downhill. I don't hire often and don't participate in the MT local meetings. I never had an interest since I have been so secure with this account since 1978. I thought I would get lots of replies - but did not. Thanks anyway. I will post the ad again. I have a backlog of almost 500 reports right now.
    How much cpl did they offer you? nm

    I have a job offer but .......
    I have been offered a job, but I am a little scared at taking at 7 cpl being IC. How long have you been with Allegiant?
    Got an offer the next day
    I only emailed them my resume and did not even have to test. I got a call from them the very next day with an offer.
    Just got a job offer from them
    They do pharmaceutical presentation dictations and such. Only need folks once in a while on a p.r.n. basis, part-time. That's all I know.
    And they only offer...
    7 to 10 cents per 65 character line, wants a quick turnaround, and 15-30 minutes at the end of the presentation is multiple Q&A session. Not worth what he's offering, for the time it takes to do these types of transcription.
    Does DSG offer QA for MTs or QA for VR?
    What is DSG's QA like? Are there alot of ESLs?
    Thanks
    They know what we have to offer . . .
    They know all about us, our stats, what we do, how we do it and generally what we have to offer. It's why they bought us out. It is us that have no idea what they have to offer.

    Still waiting for answers to the questions we asked a week ago . . .

    TRS has a lot to offer.
    Good morning saw your post and just wanted to make a comment.  The problem with archives is information could be old.  We have a great management team.  We have great accounts.  We have great opportunities. So if you are interested I would certainly love to talk with you about TRS.  Yes, we have training classes.  No, we do not off-shore our work.  We have a great reputation for doing things right.  Have a wonderful day!
    No, but I got a job offer also

    Job offer
    I have been offered an IC position with them. Pay is $0.09 per line.
    TT offer
    I'm still too new to comment on the yearly raises/bonuses since I've only been there a few weeks. They do offer many production incentives, though (one of the main reasons I chose TT over KS).

    I understand the new line counting software will begin rolling out in mid-July on an account-by-account basis. It depends what account you will be working on as to when you will be set up. I'm sure whoever gets it first will let the rest of us know how it works and if they like it.

    I understand that it will have no delays and also give information broken down by report. I think it also will give you line count data per hour, day, week, and other variables. I think it's a great move, and it will help me monitor my hourly line counts, as I'm always trying to speed things up! lol.

    Good luck on your decision! I know it's alway tough trying to find the right fit. You hear good and bad about every single company. I honestly don't think any one company is the best. There are many good companies out there. It all depends on what you feel you need to be successful and whether or not that company can fulfull your needs.

    Feel free to email me privately.

    If you don't take the first offer they get for you SM
    (and it's likely it will be with a company who advertises all of the time everywhere) at the rate offered (8 and maybe 9 cpl, never more), you will never hear from them again.  They really just dole out offers from companies you can find yourself and never at a higher rate than usual.
    DSG and DTS used to offer this. Don't know about now. nm
    s
    I don't think there is ANYTHING they could offer me except.....sm
    a full corporate/company restructuring...I also received 2 callbacks in the last 2 weeks, and though the pay offered is high, so is the stress, miscommunication, disarray, frustration, lousy work pools, etc. Until all of that is straightened out and the company realizes that they will only get/keep really good MTs when they not only dangle golden carrots under their noses, but respond to their needs, treat them as REAL people, value them by their attitudes and by hiring QA, PS, and tech people that are knowledgeable, helpful, and are there for the MT.....well, that is when I would consider them again, if ever. High cpl is great, but feeling good about your company and your work, not dreading the day ahead, feeling relaxed and happy, respecting and KNOWING your bosses and supervisors...that is PRICELESS, as the commercial says. Best of luck to all who are new hires, or re-hires, hope everything is better at the Q.
