Pay "per page"? (legal, insurance reports)

how does this sound for legal transcription work? this is my first time being offered (and quoted) this type of work and pay. any ideas? i did test for them and the verbatim legal test file was quite easy and well over 1-1/2 pages in a short amount of time. <<<15 pages = $18.00 a page. All pages count. Usually less than 25 lines on a page>> any advice appreciated! ...

Hi everyone. I have my own transcription business and I normally charge per minute. I just got approached by a law firm and they asked how much I would charge per page. They would be dictating letters. I have no idea how much I should charge. Any ideas? ...

I applied for a job with a company and was hired. The start pay is just okay, but increases as your line count increases and I think this is a good way for me to get my foot in the door and experience with working with other types of transcription and jobs. It is straight typing and involves insurance and legal matters and forms. If anyone wants to know more about it, I will be happy to let you know. I start in April. ...

It has been reported to tech support, so my guess is it is not a technical issue, but rather intentional for some reason. Things that make ya go hmmm... ...

I have a question about Smartype and I will try to make it so it is understandable:) I bought Instant Text because I had to have some way of moving my Smartype over into Word 2007 (I had Word 2002). I have Instant Text turned off until I learn the new platform on the new company I am with. My problem is this, the Smartype line will not move with the page so when I get to the bottom of the page it covers up everything at the bottom and I can only manually move Smartype by scrolling back up ...

I am interviewing for a job that would be three days in office and two days at home. They requested my salary requirements, and would like to know what I would charge per page and half page for work done outside of the office. I have never had to worry about this before, and I am not sure what to say. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! I have been an MT for four years, two in a hospital and two working from home for different doctor's offices. ...

Hi all. I was just wondering what other MTs prefer...little short reports or very long reports? Do too many of either affect your line count (and therefore your pay)? I definitely prefer very long reports! ...

Am i the only one that just hates the long ones? And by long I mean anything over like 4 minutes. I love progress and ER notes! ...

and family member wishes to join later, can I enroll at any time or must it be during "official" enrollment period? Thank you. ...

Has anybody received their insurance cards yet? ...

What do other LMers think of what is happening with our insurance? I am the head of our household and am worried. What do we do when COBRA runs out? ...

So I was having lunch with an ex-transcriptionist (got out when the getting was good) and I told her about the docking of 0.03 as of May 1 if we hit 5% QA submission. She brought up a good point. Is this even Legal???? If this is done then I am assuming MANY out there will be working BELOW minimum wage. This can't be done can it? Doesn't the Q have to pay you at LEAST minimum wage? I try to maintain 1800+ lines a day and if I lose 0.03 and do the mat ...

work 6 days a week, even though it adds up to 40 hours a week? Our supervisor is trying to force us to work 2 hours every Friday night. This means only one full day off. I have had to get another part-time job on call Friday and Saturday (under the table) to supplement the lost income with MQ and so can't work her mandated hours. Is it even legal to demand that? ...

Is it really legal for Nuance to make us work a holiday, then we don't get paid for it because there are no reports, and then they expect us to work overtime another day to make up for the holiday we worked on that we were never paid for?! Did I get that right? Has anyone here called the Labor Department? I'm curious. I will not work overtime after missing Christmas with my family (for zero pay), in order to accomdate their poor scheduling. I'm upset that ...

I missed 3 days and 3 hours of work due to computer crashing. It took all this time to purchase a new computer, get windows 8 out and windows 7 in, fix whatever for windows update to work and now I'm told I have to use PTO or MUP this week. Seriously? Well, I can't work 14 hours a day so I guess I get screwed out of my measly PTO. How is this legal? Why not just pay me for what I do this week???? ...

I am not able to keep track of my percentage to QC. How would I know if I am nearing the 10%? ...

I was hired full-time by a small company 3 months ago, offered 15.00 hr, just recently demoted because of a complaint of quality (which was very questionable), told they would pay me 5 cpl (woohoo) for production. Now they are not supplying me with any work, let alone full-time work! Dont they have an obligation to fire me, lay me off or supply me with work? How can they do this? I cant get unemployment if I'm employed, but my employer isnt supplying me with any work ...

Good news and bad news. I just got off the phone with Mr. Young. He specializes in cases like mine, but only from an unemployment point-of-view, not class-action suits. He also charges $3500 to take on an individual unemployment case (sheesh might as well take my first-born). I briefly rehashed with him the fact that uf we don't comply with their new rules, they will drop our salaries by half or more, and that this has been an ongoing problem with them for years, cha ...

...require MTs to work 40 hours a week as a full-time employee for less than minimum wage? I am considering filing a class action lawsuit, but I'm getting my facts straight first. ...

I really can't believe this....well I can. I quit Medquist three weeks ago. I promptly received my labels to return my equipment which included a letter saying I needed to return the equipment within 14 days.....5 DAYS LATER...I get a letter via UPS, which I had to sign for, saying I MUST return the equipment within 7 days or legal action will be put upon me!!! Really??? First of all, I've been trying unsuccessfully to find a box and packing to protect the computer in transit, but furt ...

I have been an MT for 3-1/2 years and am interested in legal transcription. I have found online courses through meditec and Penn Foster and am leaning towards meditec who also offers an online paralegal course. Does anybody have any experience with either meditec or Penn Foster regarding the legal transcription and/or paralegal course? Any other ideas how I could get into legal transcription? You may also email me if you prefer. I am grateful for any information and/or advice. If you know ...

Has anyone ever done legal transcription? If so, was it hard to learn compared to medical? ...

Isn't it disgusting to know that so many MTs are victims of legal exploitaton. Need I say more? ...

Do any of you have the legal benefits that MModal offers? I think it's like $7 a pay period. ...

I am scheduled for 35 hours a week. If I only got 28 hours last week becuase of the holiday (no work) and the day after (no work), and not being able to make up all of that time, how is it legal that the CCM just takes my PTO and adds that to my timesheet to cover that 7 hours? I thought we can be released with no pay. I mean, geez... I did not request the holiday off, I signed on for my shift and only got a couple hours. That is not my fault they overstaffed the holiday. ...

Can a potential hiree call up my current employer and ask what I make per line? Isn't it illegal to give out that info? Does anyone know? Thanks ...

For constantly getting no jobs on your shift anymore? This is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! It has been since December and is just getting constantly worse! My shift is supposed to be 5 hours and I very rarely get more than 2.5 hours of work, tonight just 2 hours! My supervisor says she has too many MTs in our group, SO WHY AREN'T WE MOVING PEOPLE AROUND!? There must be something legally that can be done about this! It is totally unfair! I have worked for ...

Has anyone spoken to a lawyer about NJA and not being paid for that time, or being forced to use our PTO, even though it's not our request to have a day off? Just wondering, because I'm thinking of speaking to a lawyer, can't imagine this is legal. ...

to REQUIRE us to make up hours when they don't have work available during our scheduled shifts? How can they take away the option of taking off without pay when they haven't provided any work during our shift? That's like requiring us to be on 24/7 call for free to try to get our hours in when work is low. HOW IS THAT LEGAL? ...
