Just got a letter in the mail from MQ stating that they will be paying 80% of our base rate for ASR. - MQMT
- Are you currently working on ASR? - Curious
  - I do a minimal amount and the letter was about 2 pages long but mostly about ASR. - MQMT
    - ASR - yakaback
- About letter -- don't have it -- was that - MQ MT wanting to know more
- no way they can keep us at regular pay with VR - we might become millionaires!
- That still is not a paid line rate. If your base is $0.10 per line, it will be $0.08 cpl. - VR Queen
  - Have you forgotten we have not gotten the new pay plan yet which will lower the base rate I am sure - MQMT
    - ASR - yakaback
- What is ASR? sm - Former MQer

    - let me re-phrase my question: How will the MT know what is ASR and what is regular transcription?sm - wondering MQMT
      - you will be editing a completed ASR report vs typing - a fresh report (nm)
- Will all MTs be changed over to ASR? - Confused
- from what i've heard, its a lot harder - and takes longer to do

Happy MQer
do you have a husband with a good job who is supporting you and you don't care how much you're getting cheated? there is something definitely going on at MQ that is not right and the MTs are having to pay the price and it needs to be looked into. If there's nothing going on shady, then MQ shouldn't be afraid to step to the plate and furnish the facts. Don't know how long you've been on the DQS, but wouldn't you want to know how they came up with a pathetic $1.18 for your miscalculation??

I am right there with you Happy MQer.
I type 350 lines an hour and am extremely happy with Medquist. I think these people that are complaining don't know how to type and are in the wrong profession. I hear Wal-Mart is always hiring.

Maybe that's where all the GOOD mqer's
spend their day :)

(as opposed to us whiners, that is)

Do they talk about things there like these letters and extra, unexpected checks too?

LOL! Lots of OPs? Or are you an MQer too? ;)
..."was reamed," lol.

"Happy MQer" What a crock!

I totally agree with MQMT2 about how you should "spend" your check.

I agree with you Nuther MQer.
Everybody does have their own opinion, but I have never heard of anybody complaining about their job as bad as these people. If people hate it that bad, find another job. I totally agree that Medquist has their problems, fortunately for me I have not been effected by them. I think most people on this board are chronic complainers and even if they won the lottery or something they would find a way to complain about that as well.

tolong time MQer
I forgot about the papermites. When I was working at the hospital know one believe us that there was mites in the office. I started with Transcription Limited in 1993 then it went to R and R or vise versa. I left Medquist in 2003.

Kate, when or where was that free DL? I'm an MQer & I missed it. (nm)

Happy MQer-Hurry, look out your back window!
I see T.W.H. getting out of a lawn chair in your back yard and stealing your grill to cook up a Nathans Hot Dog.
