Does M*Modal have make up pay? - JJ

Do they kick in the hourly minimum wage if you are not hitting your lines? What about when you first start? TIA
they have to by law, but you wont be around long - if that happens

Not sure about when you first start, as I started 100 years ago, give or take a few.
training pay, then min wage - I think

When I was offered a position it was $10 an hour for the first 3 pay periods (6 weeks) and then min wage if you're not meeting it by then. ANyone feel free to correct me if that's not correct of if it has changed.
by law they have to - downtime

and I have heard that they do. They will increase your pay to equal your state's minimum.
lovely, schooling required to make minimum wage - this is what its come down to

problem with it. How to fight it is a whole other issue. If we could have banded together and had a walk-out with the first pay cut, maybe things would be different. They got us by the divide and conquer method.
A walk out wont solve it - what we need

we need someone to represent all of us (not AHDI), who can get us all on the same page, someone wt experience fighting the giants, like a top notch attorney or something, who can represent all MTs from all states according to the labor laws, and someone who can give us a collaborative voice.
All I was saying was that a walk-out may have slowed it down - if it had been done in 2005

when we (some of us) took the first pay cut.
yes everyone has a problem with it - downtime

I would have NEVER foreseen it in this industry, but many on here are doing just that, making MW.
I have been using M*Modal for about a month and a half now and I was really trying to give it a shot, but I am really doubting that I can ever make good money with this program. I used to be able to transcribe approximately 25 min/hour and these were docs that went pretty fast, so I usually got 250 to 300 lines/hour @ 9/line, so I made about 22.50 to 27.00/hr. Now with M*modal, they dropped the line rate 4/line and there is just no way that I ...
Wondering if anyone has been able to find a way to make M-Modal go faster or if it is just hopeless. The software can be extremely slow and bogs down a lot, especially if you increase the speed or choose to optimize the playback to skip over blank spots (dictator not talking) in the dictation. I increased the RAM on my computer with what my employer provided when we first switched over to the software, but it is still so much slower than our previous software. Has any ...
I am not asking if you are happy. I haven't been happy being an MT for years. I just want to be able to pay my bills, have an income and pay my bills. I'm not making what I made years ago either, but I can pay my bills (not much left over after that's done.) I am stuck with M*Modal for the time being and not of my choice. I have worked for other large nationals that were constantly bad mouthed, and I was able to make a living at them. Does anyon ...
I am so sorry if this has been posted before. I looked but didn't see any other posts.
I applied with M*Modal a while back but landed a different MT job that I'm happy with. But these people still will NOT stop e-mailing me and calling me and leaving automated voicemail messages.
ONE voicemail message is quite enough. If I was genuinely interested in working for them, I probably would have called them back, ya think?? (And boy, it's really nice to know I am not a human being t ...
I thought they were 2 different services. Everyone is buying out everyone, so who knows. All the small companies have been merged I guess. I thought Nuance was out of New York and were the primary with VR. Maybe one has to keep up with the changes and be a member and pay the dues and go to the meetings with AAMT and be a CMT to keep up with the changes, even though you still get 4 cents. ...
I seem to be spending an awful lot of time in VR documents, so I am confused as to why I am getting paid less for them. This stupid VR system types whatever it thinks it might be hearing and sometimes doesn't type anything at all. I hate this VR. I am up to 1800 lines but usually do 2200-2500 a day on straight transcription. I don't know how I am going to feed my children. I am a single mom and the head of household. Believe me the child support isn& ...
I have another question. When one does a draft in VR, does MT get paid for all lines in the draft or would an MT get paid if it has to be edited. I will be trying to learn this in the next few weeks and I am scared to death I will not catch on and then I might be without a job. I have a feeling I might not get paid for the whole draft report. Then again it may depend on the company. Any opinions please. Thanks ...
...looks like he's dropping a deuce. Sorry, but he does.
Also, how do you pronounce the name of the company? I say it to rhyme with immobile - immodal. ...
I'm considering applying to M*modal. I've been around the block (several times) so I'm aware of the reputation, etc. This means anyone who just wants to slam the company, please bypass this thread. For those of you who work for M*modal and are happy, what is it you like about the company? Would you recommend a friend apply?
TIA.

Been offered a job at M*Modal. Can anybody tell me the pros and cons of working there? Is there enough work. Where I work now it is SO hit and miss, feast or famine. I need something more consistent.
Are they flexible? Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks,

Our hospital is supposed to make the decision tomorrow if they are going to keep our work in-house or outsource to M*Modal. I want to make an informed decision when and if we are told we are going with M*Modal. Do you get holidays? How is the pay? Flexible schedule? What about our vacations that are already scheduled? If they hire us will we still be on our same accounts?
Thanks for any info. ...
Hello Everyone,
The hospital I have been working for has switched all of our transcriptionist to M Modal. I will be doing radiology work. Any helpful hints out there.
...
I was thinking of applying for a job at M-Modal as I am not so happy with my current job and how they pay. Can anyone help me and tell me how much M-Modal pay their staff? ...
I am on the M*Modal website to apply, and they are asking for my social security number. I have never provided this on a job application. Is this legit? ...
I am thinking about testing for acute care transcription with M*Modal. But, when I went to their web site I see they are owned by someone in India? Is that for real? Also, I see posts here in this chat room "no work, no work, no work, paycheck sucks," etc. Can anyone fill me in on M*Modal, please. Also, do they supply you with the equipment? I do not want to work for a company owned by someone in India, that's for sure! Thank you in advance for your help! MT2 ...
I stopped doing medical transcription for a while and I am considering getting back into it. I live in Green Bay, and no one is hiring in house. I am considering taking a test with M*Modal. Can anyone tell me anything about this company? Good, bad, and ugly. ...
I thought they got rid of all PT positions?? Here's the link:

I heard that M*Modal is sinking fast and won't be in business much longer. Has anyone else heard this? They've been having problems getting investors and new clients, so it wouldn't come as any great shock. ...
Our company recently outsourced us and we are being offered jobs w M-Modal. I have seen all of the negative comments but I was wondering how bad the pay is. I typed about 220 lines/hour doing straight typing and they are saying their average for voice rec is 220/lines per hour. If that were the case you'd be making nothing! Can anyone give me any input? Thanks! ...
Would appreciate feedback from anyone using M-Modal, especially Webmedx Enterprise MTs. Dreading the conversion and wondering if my fears are well founded. I'm pretty fast straight typing but rarely get more than 50 lines more an hour with current VR. Seems all it takes is just one lousy report to negate the lines made on the decent reports. Afraid it's just going to be worse with M-Modal and the whole drop-down heading thing. Anyone have any encouragement to offer? ...
I know there are a lot of comments on here about M-modal being horrible and I have to definitely agreed, it is the only VR I have used so nothing to really compare it to but cannot do many more lines per hour than I transcribe (usually about 275 lph or so), anyone willing to share how much they do on M-modal and how long the account has been on VR? Just my curiosity since I don't seem to make any progress in increasing my lines per hour. Thanks in advance. ...
Can anyone recommend an expander? I just started using this program and it's locked up (stopped responding completely) several times today, making me lose several reports. Is this a common bug? Thanks!
