    2 part time (totaling 40+/-) 1 pays weekly/1 biweekly.

    Weekly for food.  Biweekly for bills.


     


    NEMT, Inc.
    Has anyone worked for or does anyone currently work for New England Medical Transcription, Inc.?  I am looking for information on this company regarding pros/cons. 
    I used to work for NEMT
    not for very long, though. Unfortunately I found I didn't have enough time to devote to working for them as I thought I would be when I was first hired. They were actually really good about it. I was an IC, but there were days when I didn't have time to work because of other work commitments or I didn't have any work (I worked very late nights/early mornings). I was never able to get comfortable with the doctors so I made very little money. Now I work my full-time job as well as 2 part-time general transcription jobs where I can work p.r.n. with no set schedule. They email me work they have, and if I have time I take it, and if not I can decline. The TAT is 3-5 days, sometimes longer so I find that works out really well for me.
    curious about location of NEMT
    looked on their website and it hasn't been updated since 2003. i may have worked for NEMT years ago. are they in massachusetts?
    LinK don't you work for NEMT? You posted on here once saying you did?
    Just curious?
    VR pays half of what typing pays...
    If you would read her post more closely she said she does VR, which pays half of what straight typing does.  I do VR and have made 4 cpl, so 5 is actually good and 4-5 is an industry standard, and may be even less if you are an employee.  The problem is that you have to double your line counts in order to make decent money, which is not always easy.  I embrace VR because I like it better than straight typing, but it is not productive for everyone, no matter how hard you try.
    weekly pay
    I bring home right at 1000 a week, but that's a FT job, a 20 hour per week PT job, and a 15 hour per week PT job. My FT job just basically pays for my insurance costs.
    once weekly sm
    Take it, I did this for years and the once weekly is now hard to find, they want it back on the Net in 45 minutes sometimes. Why not work for yourself instead of some big wheel who make a profit on your sweat equity? BYOB - Be Your Own Boss!
    Any other companies pay weekly besides EFD?/nm

    True. That is about my weekly pay.

    Sorry, I was making around $250-$300 weekly

    And what do you consider "a ton of money" ? What do you make weekly? nm

    Do you have a weekly ads pub that you could put it in under Business Opportunities, or in your local
    s
    As stated below, I agree. Overall weekly average is approx. 600 lph sm
    Now, granted there are days I can do over 1200 lines an hour, but overall within the week you have those dictations that take a little more time.

    I have made more money on this platform than any other. Absolutely love it!

    We have a small local paper that comes weekly in the mail...

    and I spend most of my time counting the spelling errors when I read it.  The best one was the headline one November that proclaimed - HAPPY THANKGSIVING.  Did I mention this is a FREE paper. I would never pay for something like that.


    Another one I saw a number of years ago, mirrow instead of mirror. And one time at my old job at a manufacturing plant, they were taking a bus trip to some shopping "outlits."


    I am a teacher's kid and stuff like that really bugs me.  Good thread by the way!


    What is, on average, a normal weekly IC report production?

    I need your opinions please….


     


    I am an IC who works for four doctors who each dictate approximately 100 or more reports a week.  They send them via over to their personal website and I download and transfer to Express Scribe (awesome program by the way).  They tend to call me often and will ask for one or more patient’s report to be faxed over immediately for insurance purposes.  Of course, they have no idea how complicating and time consuming this is on me, when I have to search for these specific voice files, one by one, and then transcribe the report, etc.  I felt a bit of an attitude the other day when it took longer to perform my task. 


     


    I am wondering, am I just too slow?  Is completing 400 or more reports (on average half page reports) a week slow, including transcribing these special request reports?  I feel so stressed all the time now; their phone calls for insurance purposes are becoming more constant.  I am wondering if they realize that I am not an employee, but an IC, and that there is a difference.  How may reports do most full time IC’s complete within a week, plus deliver 2-3 times per week?


     


    Thanks for any and all advice. 


    I remember in Weekly Reader the article discussing "pay TV" and how we didn't see that anyb

    would ever pay money to watch TV. I always thought it would be in a coin box on top of the TV set. I couldn't imagine having enough money to do that.


    Weekly Reader also predicted that one day we'd go to the store and pay with a card instead of money, that our money would be "virtual" and stay in the bank.


    That was about 1960. It was actually a pretty close prediction.


    Curosity- I am curious if I am making the normal amount of money weekly for MT. Would anyone care
    to share their weekly amount of pay?

    Quick question or poll - What does one consider "good money" for weekly bring home income? sm

     Would you consider $1000 a week, IC status, working 5 hours a day, 5 days a week "great money"?


     


    What do you make a week and how many hours do you work?


    This is for informational purposes only and not to belittle or degrade anyone or boast and put anyone on a soapbox about their income.


    Thanks for your help!


    THANK YOU! That is my point. She still pays taxes, her DH still pays taxes...

    so who exactly is getting cheated?  And just who are you talking about when you talk about whether it is "fair" or not.  I don't give a crap how much taxes my neighbor pays.  It's none of my business.  And if I found out they were paying less in taxes than me, I would ask them how they heck are they doing it so I can do it too!


    I just want ask, is it necessary to get personal and insult?  You disagree with me, fine.  But I've been called a liar, a cheat, a no-ingetrity thief, my intelligence has been insulted, and I have had my parenting skills questioned.  That is a little over the top.  If you cannot debate an issue without resulting to personal attacks, then YOU are the stunted one!


    It is a very good thing that some of you work at home, ALONE!  You are sorely lacking in people skills and diplomacy.  Let me guess, when you worked in the office you were one of those girls who didn't like to share her desk, griped if someone dropped a crumb on your desk, and kept track of everyone's breaks, lunches, and line counts just so you could tattle to the supervisor!  I've worked women like you, it was like working with kindergarteners.  That's why I came home to work.  Do us all a favor, looking in the mirror, count your wrinkles, and realize that this isn't high school anymore!


    How about a home health aide or an aide for Hospice? Get paid weekly, too. nm

    who pays 40% tax?

    I'm an IC and keep track on my gross income and taxes on an Excel spreadsheet. I use this link to calculate my taxes:  http://www.pensoft.com/taxcalc.asp


    I claim married status, one dependent. I'm paid semi-monthly. I make certain to double the SS tax at the bottom of the page.


    My taxes are between 22% and 25% of my gross earnings, depending upon what the gross pay is. Never had a problem with the IRS yet.


    So, if 40% of your gross earnings goes for taxes ... something is WRONG!!!!


    no-pays
    What do to if the company you work for doesn't pay for two months and stops answering mails and work is stopped as well? I am in a different state than Ohio.

    VR - Who Pays The Best?
    My hands hurt and I am thinking about getting into VR.  Who pays the best for VR these days?  Are slow typist more productive with VR than straight typing? Thanks
    IC with two accounts, one pays 20+ cpl

    What company pays this much
    Would love to know who pays this much for VR editing.

    Yes, transcription actually pays them better...sm
    but that doesn't mean we should be sending confidential, private information over to them, where it can be spread all over the Internet and used in whatever way they choose, not to mention taking jobs away from U.S. workers. Frankly, I'm SICK TO DEATH OF IT!!!

    When a country can't pay their own doctors, dentists, nurses, etc. a living wage, this is why they need a new government, a new way of running their country, not the old ORDER OF CRAP they have had for so long.
    how can they both be union and one pays so much more?

    I know a doc in FL that pays 4.5 CPL to India

    Editing pays less. sm
    The VR is crap and ever since we started it, WMX, I have continued to make more by typing from scratch. VR only helps the people who usually do a low line count, less than 150 lph. That is with my company. Some people love it, make more. I am sure it has to do with the VR software. Ours is crap.

    Editing Pays More
    Without a doubt, I can make more money by editing. I can edit more than twice as fast as I type. Also, I can edit longer without taking a break. The editing process is not as physically demanding as typing.

    I get 3.9 cents per line for editing and 8 cents per line for typing.
    MQ pays 70% of your MT rate, much more than
    nm
    Yes, there is. SE the employer pays 1/2 of your SS tax. sm
    As IC, you pay all of your SS tax.
    MDI Maryland pays 10+ cpl
    Their range is 9-11 cpl, statutory.  I've been with them for a year and a half and they're a good company.  By the way, that's not "incentive" based - the rate is the rate.  Peace of mind for those days when you just can't crank out line number 1701 LOL.
    So you're saying someone pays you
    around $50/hr, HOURLY not production, to MT? So a hospital, doctor's office, or MTSO, pays you $50/hr for an hourly position? Whaaaaat?

    Though there are not that many to be had right now ... in a large city, in the late 80s to 90s, paid $16-$17/hr.

    YES, MQ pays shift diff but you have to ask for it. SM
    I complained bitterly about it and they gave me half a cent per line for nights and weekends. Adds up to about $75 per check and YES, it is paid on my bimonthly check.
    i have 1 account that pays by report
    and one that pays by the line. it depends on the day on which is better and if you are able to 'definitely' know what your line count is. if you have lots of normals then per report is better, for me anyway
    Who pays for your phone lines?
    I am thinking about letting a couple of my transcriptionists go home....I have opened a new business and am doing so well I am running out of space here in the office.  I can do more business if they go home, but call into my main account, who uses Lanier voicewriter and is still (unbelievably) on Medword......to those of you who type from home, who pays the monthly expense for your phone lines....and do you have one or two lines?
