a dollar per hour - huh?

How can they pay $1.00 per hour? That is so far below minimum wage!!!! Isnt that illegal?

they're meaning $1 per AUDIO hour - nm

ok, then that is worse, isnt it - sm

Most of the time, an audio hour takes 2 to 3 times to type, so that would mean 50 cents per hour or 33 cents per hour???

What I am not following here??

It is probably a dollar per audio minute. - sm

So, 60 minutes at $60.00 and if you do 3:1 ratio it will take 180 minutes, which is 3 hours. That is actually $20.00 an hour, not bad at all, especially if you can do it faster. I can do 60 minutes of audio in about 90 minutes.

The last time I applied for general transcription, they were offering about 0.65 cents per audio minute.

I wouldn't consider that "low." First line in the ad says: "The pay for this - is low." nm

Don't believe anyone would be stupid enough to apply for this job.

I believe they are - trying to attract

people from India or some such to do this type of work, even though the ad is from the US (supposedly). I have seen these types of ads in the past that specifically state they want a transcriptionist from India to apply, because they can get away with that type of pay.

You should apply and ask them to clarify the $1 per hour vs. how long - to finish a 1-hour audio. nm

They have 3 other similar ads. Poster who suggested to attract offshorers was right, - but the Philippines, not India. sm

To all you are wondering if it can happen. Yes, it can and it did for me. I was just hired for my first coding job!!!

Only a few responded, but that is okay. It only takes one. I was really surprised that I even was offered the chance to test. My first test was a ...

It involves reaching out to corporations and individuals and asking them for in-kind or monetary donations as well as participating in the walk-a-thon itself. Most of the contacts are repeat donors and are happy to get the call to join in the event again. Participation with the event is also required - se ...

On a post below about SGS, an MT states that she is being paid minimum wage. She states she had to 'fight' for it, however, they are paying her minimum wage on the accounts where she is scheduled, and expected, to sit in front of her computer when there is very little work. I have asked several coworkers about this, and some of them are being paid minimum wage, as well. Not all; only the ones who requested (demanded) it. THERE GOES ALL MTSO CLAIMS THAT SINCE WE' ...

PTO is a benefit, not to be used as a wage!! I know it works to your advantage to strongly suggest that MTs use PTO when there is no work, but there are some who will NEVER do that. Suggest it, yes, but expect it? How would you like to use your PTO as part of your wage? ...
