Focus Infomatics :: Can you make any money on cpl? - So Tired


Posted: Jan 26, 2010

I was offered a job as QA for Focus at 4 cpl.  Can you make any money on cpl?  I have always worked QA on an hourly wage.  Thanks for any response.

4 cpl is a disgrace. I am tired as well. We work our butts off and get paid practically next to nothing, however we have a great responsibility that our reports are accurate with a fast TAT. We have knowledge, experience, have to understand what the doctor is dictating and we barely make minimum wage.

depends on how many reports you clear, but if you average between 11-18 reports per hour that's approximately 15-22 dollars per hour that you'd be earning at 4cpl. And no, I don't work for Focus.

I received an e-mail today from a recruiter at Focus Infomatics.  I applied there last year and didn't meet their experience criteria but the e-mail asked me to send them an updated resume to see if I do now (and I do).  I currently work for MQ and quite frankly, I could take it or leave it.  I've not been impressed by MQ but I don't see a reason to leave a job I'm not fond of for another job I may like even less.  Any info about them would be greatly ...

Focus Infomatics - Anything About Their Platform?
Dec 07, 2009

I looked through the archives but couldn't find anything about their platform.   I did speak with their recruiter and YOU HAVE to have a 32-bit operating system, XP or Vista, and Windows 7 is not compatible.  I'm pretty sure that when I looked at these guys about a year ago now, they set you their computer like many of the national companies do.  Also, does it seem like more employers are looking for MTs.  I haven't been on this site for a while but I think it was in Octobe ...

Is Focus Infomatics Really US-based Now?
Jan 29, 2010

A former manager of mine from "brand X MTSO" (in reality, a very dear friend now) got thrown under the bus.  She knows how "QBay" does.  She is considering an MT or QA job for Focus Infomatics.  Focus claims to not offshore, and has offered my friend 8 cpl.  That sounds terribly lame wage wise for all that experience. When I couldn't drink the MQ Kool-Aid anymore, I was making a whopping 9 cpl.  Of course, try doing the math on that formula come payday.   Jus ...

Question About Pay At Focus Infomatics

Hi. I have a question about pay at Focus that hopefully someone can answer.  Transcription is paid at 8 cents per line and editing at 3 or 4 cents a line.

Hey MModal, You Know How You Can Make Money!?
Nov 08, 2013

Take all your suits, the ones raking in a quarter million to a million a year with bonuses, etc, and cut their pay in half, and that is still being generous.  They don't need to be paid that much.  With all your fancy business degrees, you would think they would teach you some common sense.  It seems that they teach you how to squeeze as much money out of a company and its lesser employees before running it to the ground, then move on. ...
