A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
I work in-house doing radiology transcription, mostly VR. The pay is hourly and there is no overtime on our job but there is also no incentive. I'm trying to cut my expenses to have extra money but its tough. I would like to work an extra few hours to save for vacation/a better running car/other purchases. Is there something wrong when a company does not offer incentive for MTs or should I be "just thankful for having a job when so many people are out of work in this economy" as spoken by others? I'm sorry if this sounds like I'm complaining but isn't an incentive a little perk to have as an MT. I'm even considering perhaps going to a production-based job. I've talked to non-transcriptionists but, of course, they don't have a full idea of how the MT field works.
