I'm just curious, I've been in this business for a long time now and haven't seen a raise in QUITE some time, but I sure as he!! saw higher paychecks than I see here. So, I'm curious. What's the highest rate you've been paid to be an MT? What were your daily requirements too, if you can remember?

per audio minute (as an employee) and ending up making considerably less than my per line rate, so I requested off that account and back onto a per-line account. I can't believe these MTSOs now. I've seen others, 40 cents, 60 cents... as ICs no less. Unbelievable. ...

It showed 3 tries. I thought it uploaded on the 3rd try and went on my dinner break. When I came back to work, I noticed a message that my settings and my job had not uploaded and to sign on again when uploading is back up! The job, of course, did not come back to me.

I've done QA in the past but it was for an in-house position, paid by the hour. Production wasn't being monitored at that time and in that situation. Now that I've been working from home as an MT being paid by the line, I'm going back into QA. I'd like to hear your production averages per hour/day/week, what your current rate is or what that averages out to for you an hourly$ basis. I know it can vary just the same as it does with MT. Sometimes there ...

If you are hired as an employee and are required to type a certain number of lines and are paid by the line, how come you cannot work over 8 hours a day. Makes no sense to me. ...

Another poster stated they only get paid when they type (just like the rest of us). Since going from per-hour to per line wages, I've been finding it nearly impossible to take any kind of a break whatsoever, whether it be a day off, or an hour break. I make so little at this, that all I can think of while doing anything other than typing, is how much money am I losing. Do you, too, start feeling guilty about unchaining yourselves from your desk for even the short ...

I was wondering if anyone has been paid by the page as opposed to by the line. If so, what do you think of $1.75 per 1.5 pages of typing and $2.25 for 2 pages of typing...is that too low? and about what does that average out to, approximately. (no good with math). TIA. ...

This is probably a dumb question, but please no snide remarks. If you do not have any constructive comments, please move on. If you only do QA and are paid by cents per line (NOT hourly), how do you make any money or plan your day. Are you not dependent on how many reports other Medical Transcriptionists send to QA? So, if everyone is just spot on and only 1 or 2 reports make it to QA in an hour, how do you make any money? I saw the ad on the Job Seeker& ...

Or is it just me. I emailed them to let them know this, just in case they inadvertently left it out, but received email giving me the line rate (which is different from the rate I received from recruiter). Would you go ahead and sign the contract? ...
