How is OT figured at your company? - Curious
Posted: Jun 26, 2014
Once upon a time, I used to work for a company, who, when working overtime, would have you log the lines you did during your OT period and pay 1-1/2 times whatever your line count was, which was awesome. It seems this day and age, companies have a base rate in which they pay for PTO purposes and all the lines done (OT and regular) are put in the same count, and then how ever many OT hours worked are paid at the base rate and then half, which is actually considerably less than what would actually be paid if you were being paid 1-1/2 times your line rate.
These companies haven't cared about the MT in a while and never will. I was just curious as to how many others are paid this way.
How it OT Figured - BrokeGirl
[ In Reply To ..]It's figured in a convoluted fashion that apparently only the MTSO owner understands. It is certainly not the traditional OT pay. It is not much of an incentive to put in extra time and I don't think the other people at the company think so either based on the memos I get. The backlog would not be a problem if the pay was truly OT pay but that's just my opinion.

I Figured It Out
Sep 19, 2012
We are waiting to hear about "enhanced compensation" or really "reduction" until everyone is moved over to 7.1. They did not expect there to be so many delays, and I think real soon, everyone will be shifted over, and then they can show us with all of our production reports how great their program is, and then cut the pay to be "industry standard." I knew I would figure out a reason it was taking so long. ...

I Think I Have It Figured Out!
Mar 21, 2015
Think I have finally figured it out. We got a call from Chase saying that someone had used our credit card and had tried to charge two items worth a couple of hundred dollars but they turned it down. I am certain they have software that figures out your buying patterns, where you go, and what you normally buy with their card as a way to cut down their losses. If that is the case and I am sure that it is, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that this company must have sof ...

Well ever since the contest I have gotten completely new dictators and some new accounts. All of which I can't keep up. I have a feeling that the easier work was assigned to those in the contest. That is the only thing I can think of. Either that or they are trying to get rid to of me. At this point, hope to be fired. I don't know how much more of this I can take. ...

I have worked for Medquist 7 years, started out 10 cents a line and I am Tier III ESL accounts. Used to work for transcend before that. We went to ASR and we were told to highlight and correct so we could "train" it. We have been doing that for the C-Bay over in India through Spheris and Medquist who are owned by them in case you are new to this website. Our loyalty and quality assurance has caused us to lose our jobs. I resigned but I know a lot other well paid MT/ ...
Anybody Figured Out How To Disable AUTOSAVE?

I still swear that is what is bogging down my computer. Every time my computer "freezes" for a few seconds, I see that Autosave message in the left lower corner of the screen. Then it will catch back up and type better for a little bit. I Googled how to turn it off or reset the Autosave to less frequently, but didn't really get a good answer. ...

I May Be Leaving This Job Way Sooner Than I Figured....sm
Sep 14, 2013
Several things have happened in the last 6 to 8 weeks or so where my accounts are concerned. First, my primary account was changed to basically a secondary and the worst of the worst accounts (which happened to be like #4 in my list/queue) was moved to the #1 slot. It didn't take me 2 weeks to realize that I was going to have a nervous breakdown if I had to continually do this particular account ALL of the time (and I do mean ALL of the time) because pretty much no one else is w ...
I Think I Finally Figured Out The New Pay Plan.....
Jan 19, 2015
Okay - I've only been here a couple of weeks, and the pay plan is all finally starting to make sense..... now I understand. So.... really, the way to make the most money is to not send more than 10% to QC. It does't matter how good my quality is or my speed is, if I send more than 10% to QC, I only make 7 cents a line...... so I'm better off with slighly less quality as long as I don't send more to QC. It doesn't make much sense, but I am g ...
Has Anyone Figured Out System Hours?

I have asked for clarification of this but have never received a response from any TSM. How is it figured? Time typing? Time spent pushing the foot pedal? My system hours are usually quite a bit lower than actual hours. Although no one has ever said anything to me about it, I fear that might not always be the case. ...

We are a pretty big company, and we think we know what transcriptionists want, but it doesn't hurt to ask. There are a lot of top people in our industry that are finding themselves without jobs, often without notice, both managers and transcriptionists. I think that the tide is turning, and that we need to make sure that we treat our people right, so if you could take a few minutes and answer this, maybe we can make a difference.

Looking For A Company With No ASR And All USA
Nov 18, 2009
I have over 30 years in this field and it seems that a lot of companies are either cutting the MT's pay to edit on ASR and/or are offshoring work out to India, Pakistan, Philippines, etc. I don't believe in sending our jobs overseas, and I've also given ASR at whirl (a long whirl lol) and I still couldn't increase my lines per hour to compensate for the cut in pay that I had to take by doing ASR. So what I'm looking for is a company that does not do ASR, do ...
