I think what you are seeing is the pay you will get for any 'downtime' if the system goes down and you cannot work and also time paid on a Medquist related training session etc. Medquist adjusts this according to your average productivity in a 6 month period I believe. It can go up or down depending on your productivity. Your line rate for 'transcribing' stays the same as when you agreed upon with them, but the VR editing is a percentage of your transcribing rate and that did drop in the beginning when VR started up with us. Hope this helps.

I got a corporate e-mailing on 07/09, with notification that the new pay scale would be going in to effect 07/24.

"MQ" will be eliminating all grandfathered exception base pay line and report rates that are more than the newly defined transcription and speech recognition skill level base pay line and report rate maximums"

It goes on to list the new rates for each tier. in speaking to my CCM and others, I found out that this is across the board. EVERYONE was supposed to have received that e-mailing and as mentioned, it went into effect on 07/24 and is signed by Masonnoti.

I would suggest to get into your mailbox and recheck all your mail again or call your CCM and tell her to forward it again. Perhaps it was overlooked or accidentally deleted, but it's very clear, it is NOT select people or areas, it is ALL PRODUCTION BASED EMPLOYEES.

I hope you find it.

Well, this is really odd! The pay I got on 7/29 shows the same rates I have gotten since they lowered it to 4.8 cpl for SR. My next check may show this for pay period starting 7/24, I will wait for that. No e-mail signed by Masonnoti in July.

The new pay scale only applied to those of us who had maxed out on the previous pay scale. We therefore took pay cuts, as the top of the scale is now .10 per line for transcription, 0.06 for ASR. If you had not maxed out, you weren't affected (yet).

I have read this proclamation, signed by President Ronald Reagan many times, but it never loses it meaning and reminds me that once-upon-a-time, all MTs were regarded with the respect and appreciation that this proclamation describes.

For my last pay period I did not recieve my pay (part-time at Breitner). I contacted payroll person by E-mail and phone, and she told me that for some reason, the pay did not "download" into the PayChex system (they use PayChex). She said that she would send the check to me (paper check this week). I should have it by Friday (I am in New York and they are in Massachusetts). This is the first time this has happened, but am wondering if they will send the check and ...

TAA (Trade Adjustment Act) -- given the steep drop in pay for some MTs/MMEs, I would think MQ corporate would be glad to notify us that many MTs can apply for consideration, even if not approved. Thanks to all MTs that provided this information. MQ should have been the FIRST to inform us, and information should have been just as official as that last nonsense letter from corporate about what a wonderful job we are all doing (they meant lining their pockets while many MTs are receiv ...

I would be very happy today if someone would smack the doctor I am typing in the back of the head and say SLOW DOWN DUMMY!! I usually don't mind filling in for someone who is on vacation, but damn I am glad this is NOT one of the providers I normally type. Do they not understand that they sound mumbled when dictating so fast, not to mention the barely spoken words during the race to get to the next sentence!! ARRGHH whew k that helped a little!!

I'm FT, been with MM for 15 years. I'm a single mom of one teenager, my average income is ~around $1200/mo. Does that make a difference? I'm just trying to figure out if I got "the call", if the UE I (or any of us) receive is enough to pay bills with. If it's close to what I earn I will be OK. If it's $200/mo I will be in huge trouble. ...

TSM takes metric reports as gospel but there is no way they can be accurate with the line count and actual hours on server. I am sitting here waiting for work to trickle in. That reduces my line count and I think hours on server because I am not actually producing work that the server counts. Just wondered if all employees receive metric reports and what you think of the accuracy. ...
