Psych MT by the hour - Skipper


Posted: Mar 03, 2011

Someone posted a job on the Job Seekers board advertising $12.00 an hour for a psych MT.   How does that work?  They don't mean a dictated hour do they?

Could be. I used to do them. They go on and on, and on.... but easy stuff.

It is pretty clear to me that they pay $12.00/hour per - me

hour worked. When you work as an IC I don't know how they are able to track that though.

You just tell them how many hours you worked and they pay accordingly? - Skipper

That seems a little odd, doesn't it? I'm new so I really don't know how things work. I know I wouldn't pay an IC to work on my house by the hour.

They know how many lines they want you to produce in - that time. nm

Average line count per hour - oat

Average per hour transcription is 150 lines at 65 cpl with spaces - so they probably figure how may lines you put in and pay accordingly. that's about 8 cents a line.

Average Per Hour With 0.75 Or 0.375 Versus $12.00 Per Hour
Mar 31, 2014

My transcription job was always paid by the hour. I was laid off and they recently offered me a temp position with them making $12.00 an hour.  I was also offered a positon that pays 7.5 and 3.5 cpl.  The $12.00 is employee status for a small local company I worked for over 9 years.  The other is an IC position.  Do you think I would make more with the $12.00 an hour or the per line production rate?  I have never done production by line work so I'm not sur ...
