eTransPlus plays for spaces. I am currently employed there.

Aphion does not - that is why I rejected

What a rip off.!

Their ad says they pay for a 65-keystroke line, sm - Job-Seeking MT

which would seem to me to imply that they pay for spaces. Guess I must have interpreted that wrong. Seems that companies find more and more ways to chip away at our wages. :(

Amphion - on some does

and on some does not.

On radiology it doesn't matter, you're paid 60c per report.

On one platform you are paid for spaces.

On the other, 99% VR, you are not paid per spaces as is, according to them, industry standard.

mt2, curious about Amphion - how much work can be done in an 8-hour day? sounds like if radiology reports are 60 cents each & you do 40 reports, that's only $24 in a day? which breaks down to $4 per hour. I'm wondering what is a realistic # of reports that can be done in an 8-hour day - trying to see how much the pay would be for radiology. Thanks

GRR wish I knew that before dealing with Triton! - Anon

I got suckered in by the insurance benefits and PTO, which is NOT paid hourly and accumulated per year, like so many hours a year. It is paid per production and accumulated the same way. I basically get 4 hours of PTO per 2 months...it is a rip off! Seeing it more and more on here too. DARN IT

Just curious, I'm trying to decide between a few companies and I totally forgot to ask the interviewer. I think the whole VBC thing is criminal. It's bad enough not being paid for all of the research, demographics and CCs we do, but to not pay for characters that we actually type just because they don't print out in black and white is OUTRAGEOUS!!! ...

Hi from Australia on Australia Day. Only new at this MT at home business. Struggling to get my line count up. In all honesty it would take a few months to add in enough shortcuts to make it worthwhile. I have been racking my brain over how to get those two spaces at the end of a sentence for free. Finally it has come to me. We all need to do an autotext incorporaing the last letter of a sentence and the first letter of the following sentence ie I saw Liz ...

Hey everyone, Just curious about this... I just got a report back from my QA at work, and she dinged me for writing "End stage renal disease" instead of "Endstage renal disease." Now, someone correct me if I am wrong, but those are 2 separate words and should not be together like that, I dont think. I wouldn't write Stage6 or Stage4 together, so why the difference with end stage? We are supposed to used the 3rd edition BOS, but I can't find a reference for this. &nbs ...
