Pay per dictated hour - sammietutu


Posted: Apr 07, 2011

Does anyone know how $1.00 per dictated minute compares to cents per line? Is this good pay?

I used to work for a company that paid that and it was quite decent pay - probably equivalent to 8 or 9 cents a line (65 plus spaces).

pay by minute - anon

Would like to add that my former company lost my account because they would not go to VR which the client wanted. I have yet to find that same type of pay elsehwere. Could you post or e-mail me the name of the company that offers such? Thanks!

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 ...

Should We Change The Dictated Layout Of The Report?
Dec 27, 2011

This seems crazy asking this while taking the final exam, but this layout seems spitefully incorrect. A few chapters back, it stated "going forward with the course, transcribe the report layout exactly how the dr. dictates it". In this final exam, its an operative report and she has the pre-op and post-op diagnosis' at the end of the report! Should I put them at the beginning where they have been with all the other reports we were given? So confused! ...
