I never see hourly QA jobs posted - Pat

Posted: Dec 15, 2009

I am seeking an hourly QA position, but never see openings for anything other than line pay. Where should I be looking for these positions?

The ones I have gotten have been promotion from within sm - Hourly QAer

I have had 2 decent hourly QA jobs. I started as an MT and then was asked to become QA shortly thereafter. I have been looking lately too and haven't seen any. Unfortunately my current good hourly job is changing and it will no longer be on terms I am willing to work under. I think QA paid hourly jobs are getting rare, and the turnover is lower as well. I wish you luck. I am going back to straight MT for awhile and hopefully will get picked out for QA again down the road.

I don't understand that line of thinking - sm

on the company's part. Most QAs become QAs because of carpal tunnel from years of typing through which they've gained years of experience and knowledge. It's a completely different job. I would personally rather hire a 'career QA' with years of experience QAing than promote an MT who would be a newbie QA. They're two completely different positions. When companies do this, it tells me they're of the corporate mentality & don't have much real knowledge of how the MT business works.

Very rare and now especially with VR they are - RhondaQA

on their website, but after going through 2 weeks of red tape for a QA job being told they are all filled. The recruiter says, "oh, we are just waiting for background checks on the other posts." Really, it takes 2 weeks to check background on one person. Obviously, they do not understand the stress and time involved in going through their ridiculous process and red tape, and then 2 weeks to a month later, still nothing, BUT THE JOB POSTS ARE STILL THERE. Please don't ans ...

It is insulting to all of us with the way that MT pay has gone down the drain, it is frustrating and aggravating to look for a "decent" job these days, trying to work out which companies will treat you fairly, which ones lie about their platforms, work, etc., and not only do these companies not want to pay us what we are worth but now I see that MANY companies are requiring the MT to have or "be willing" to purchase hundreds of dollars worth of equipment. If an employer can PROMISE IN ...

I just started with MModal a few months ago and I'm searching for the job offer that states the amount of $$$ we receive per hour in PTO. Meanwhile, I thought I would come here and ask. Is it $10 or $12 per hour? I'm thinking it's one of those. I could be getting these numbers mixed up with training pay though. ...

I am thinking of getting into medical transcription but all I read on here is negative posts about how little work is available and how you are all getting paid less than you were last year. Now, please don't flame me, I know this is a cheeky question, but to be quite honest ".08 cpl" doesn't mean much to me. Would anyone mind telling me what they actually earn per hour (when the work is there) and how many hours per day they generally work. It will just give me an id ...

One of my providers is going to switch over to EMR. I've looked into the program and it's got a similar document section to MS Word. However, with them going to EMR, I'm assuming I'll lose quite a bit of my bulk work (macros, etc) that I currently have with "straight typing." So my question is this ... is it worth it to transcribe EMR for a CPL rate or is it better to renegotiate my "contract" and go hourly? I'm an IC/MTSO so get no benefits. Would ap ...

What minimum LPH do we have to make to keep out of trouble with our team leaders? What is our minimum wage amount at Nuance? I got hired and no one even told me what our pay is (other than .04/.08 line). I have only been at Nuance for 3 weeks; I suppose this information is in the documents they attached to our emails when we trained, but I am too busy to look at it. Thanks in advance for the answers to the above two questions :) ...

would it be a more tolerable thing? My current job is currently straight transcription but don't know how long that will last. I know of a job opening with VR at an hourly rate, but have always hated VR in the past. The contemplated position uses the Mmodal/Docuscribe and looks simpler than the systems I used in the past. Do you think I should I hang on to what I have, even with a recent reduction in pay, or go for the hourly VR that also has better benefits? ...
