End of pay period - frustrated MT
Posted: Jan 30, 2013
This is to those MTs who do next to nothing for most of the pay period and then the last 2 days decide to make up all of their lines. It really screws those of who show up every day and work our full day. I've spent more time hitting the "get next job" today than I've transcribed lines. I looked back at the last 5 pay periods and every single one of them on the last 2 days of the pay, I was barely able to make my lines.
If you're going to be a slacker then just STAY a slacker. Don't screw it up for the rest of us who deserve the lines because we're actually sticking to the schedule we committed to.
That explains it. - Alice
[ In Reply To ..]I agree. Every pay period, there is little to no work available on the last 2 or 3 days, apparently due to inconsiderate last-minute work hogs. I've learned to pretty much expect it and plan on it. I hate pool work and am praying to find a way to attract a better situation or make one.
Those same slackers then complain when the work - goes to India
[ In Reply To ..]So grow-up and work your schedules and maybe we can keep the work in the US.
My company doesn't allow that at all - schedule enforced
[ In Reply To ..]Strict scheduling has its downside, but for those who depend on our jobs to pay the bills, it is really a very good thing.
If we don't work our schedules, there's no making it up unless the work is there in an overwhelming way.
Hey, a slacker went through here and gave us all - a dislike

Hi. I know I am going to get ripped for these questions. However, I have not transcribed in a while and I cannot remember if mg, mcg should be mg., mcg. Can someone help me update myself. Thanks Carol. Also, since I am asking, for postoperative diagnosis do you type " same "or do you type out what the preop was?

End Of Pay Period . . .
Jan 20, 2013
and I'm a little concerned. My supervisor religiously sends out an email reminding people to approve their timecards, and this time - nothing. I've put in the last of my PTO to cover all the hours I missed this week due to NJA (which is basically a failure of management to staff accounts correctly), and she still hasn't approved it. She usually has by this time. My concern is that MModal is going to start pulling stunts like some of these other c ...

Got MUP This Pay Period.
Jul 09, 2014
Low and no work, multiple accounts. Lucky I got what I did this last payperiod. However, early this year I got a few bucks in MUP and was told to bring my statistics up or else. Now, I figure I will be either fired or put on probation for this. Spent too much time signing in and out for OOW crap. Should not hold us accountable for that, but you know how it goes. ...
How Could I Have Earned So Little This Pay Period!!!

I'm $200 short. The big difference is I did more ASR this pay period. At this rate, the rent is now at least 3/4 of my monthly earnings. How am I going to pay the bills and still eat? Hope I can survive until I'm out of here? Counting down - 7 more months to go until my training for a new career is finished. ...

ASR's Training Period Over

Why are we still having to jump through hoops -- highlight and skip marker for more than 5 words, etc. - for the ASR? Hasn't it had time to "learn" all it is going to learn? It would be so much easier just to delete the crap we can't use and have to re-do instead of all the red skip markers, etc. Anybody been told that we can just DELETE and not SKIP yet? ...

I was just offered and accepted a position with Nuance and am supposed to start sometime this week (was supposed to get the new hire PW on Friday, but it did not arrive, hoping it will tomorrow for I really need to start working again..sigh). Anyway, I know that the pay period runs every other Friday, but what timeframe does it cover for transcription (basically, how long will I have to wait before receiving a check) and when is the next payday. I forgot to ask these important ...

Transcend - No Work Last Day Of Pay Period
Jul 16, 2010
I've noticed this repeatedly over the last several pay periods, particularly with one of my accounts, since Transcend took over. The last day (or two) of the pay period, there is no work - 0 for every work type! Next day, work levels back to normal. Is this due to off-shoring, account hogging to get that last pay check boost...? Or do patients just stop showing up at the hospital on the 15th of every month?...right. ...

Is 20000 Lines A Pay Period Possible?

I noticed a new hired is well cherry picking her way thru our ques but is it possible she can type 20000 lines in a 10 day work week - this is double any of us can do? We use express scribe could she be using some kind of speech to text program to get to this number. Her report counts are high and we all work on same accounts but produce at least half of what she does in the same amount of hours. I truly need help understanding this? ...

MT At Transcend Who Does 40,000 Lines A Pay Period
Dec 22, 2010
Hey, about 3 years ago there was an MLS who did at least 40,000 lines per 2-week pay period at Transcend. In fact, there was even an article about her and about 5 other transcriptionists supposedly "invaluable" to their MTSOs in one of those AHDI journals. How do you suppose she was doing over 40,000 lines in 10 working days per pay period? I don't see how it would be possible to consistently edit 500 or more lines an hour every day on that Beyond Text platform that Transc ...
Lines Per Pay Period.... Advice
Dec 23, 2010
I have read a lot of talk here lately about lines per 2 week pay period. I see a lot of you saying you can easily get 25,000 lines per pp, some say 40,000 lines per pp. I estimate I can get about 4,000. Now, I don't work full time, but even if I did, I just don't get this. I type relatively fast - 45 to 50 wpm, I have the same docs every day so I have a lot of auto words built up. How does anyone do this? What hours do you work? How fast do you type? Would really love to hear some deta ...
