Does anyone know if we are paid for footers? - BZB
Posted: Jun 06, 2013
So much time taken, between Blue I, binoculars, saving text to change work type, etc, add a bookmark. Just wondering if we're compensated for this. Thanks.
I don't think so. - Free headers and footers

From what I have been told we do all that for free, thus the reason for the bookmarks is so we only get paid for the text in between the bookmarks. Sucks, doesn't it. That is why having to do doctor's letters really pisses me off having to look for addresses that I don't get paid for, or names of doctors to CC.

Nope. Nor are we paid for text that auto populates in the document. :(
Any MTSOs pay for headers/footers on each document? If so, it is a flat number of lines per document, or is it the header and footer on every page? ...
I have gone through older posts and they are conflicting about this. Do they pay for headers and footers if you manually put them in? I can understand them not paying for automated headers (cheap, but many companies do it that way), but if you have to manually add them do they pay? ...
Kind of stumped on this one. I just recently started working for a company that does both VR and straight typing. Luckily, have been doing more straight typing than VR, but noticed that after I did 20 or so reports my line counts were around 600-750 lines for those 20 reports. Well I found out that the headers are not counted in our lines even though we may have to enter a date and sometimes even the patient name. I was told by one of the supervisors that this is "now the ...
HELLPPPP...anyone good at figuring out how to make a template? client has a form that they sent and it has headers and footers each page. They have a separate letter form, consult form and chart note. Then there is a summation sheet at the beginning and STAT sheet at the end. They want all of this done in one long document, i.e. hard page break between each patient. I have played with this till blue in the face. If I try to put the plain summation sheet first, ...
I was curious if any other MTs are getting paid by the minute too. Replies are welcomed. I am required to get 131 minutes for an 8 hour shift. We get incentive if over. We also use VR, so that helps, and we have weighted doctors.
Thanks,

When we run out of jobs we get paid min wage. Do you think we will get that for this. I don't want to have to make up a whole day's worth of hours or use my PTO for this. ...
How do you get someone to pay you that has not paid you? Getting really aggravated about this and don't know what to do. I have been given every excuse in the book! ...
I've been working with my company for almost a year now and i'm wondering if I should start looking around at other compaines. I graduated from M-Tec last summer and got a job about a month later, they started me at 0.055 cpl, then in December bumped me up to 0.06 cpl. Since then I have been getting paid the same, while working a lot more. I just want to know if this is good and I should just stick with it, or look somewhere else. Any advice is appreciated! ...
I could really use some advice. I worked for a company for 6 months and then quit when accounts were being lost. I am owed over $3000.00 (I quit over 6 months ago). I know of 2 other ICs who worked for this company and the total owed to all of us is over $10,000. We have been given every excuse in the book. We have been told the company has gone out of business, that a AmerAssist loan was being sought in order to pay us, etc. We have contacted the Sheriff's Department in her state abo ...

I accepted a part-time job to supplement my regular MT income a few weeks ago from a girl who was advertising here on MTStars. It's been great, fairly easy work and an excellent extra income. I guess I should have known it was too good to be true.
I was expecting payment last week but am told she can't pay me until she gets paid.
Now, who in their right mind would hire people to do their work when they can't pay on a specific date? Why would you hire some ...
Does anybody wonder why we don't get paid by the hour like other highly-skilled secretaries and editors? This line business is a joke! Why should we get penalized for the bad dictation? Many years ago, we had a client with dictators from ****. I called up the director of medical records and apologized for all the blanks. She told me not to worry about it. She said she had a box of pens on her desk and she made the doctors take a pen and fill in all t ...
Has anyone gotten paid by TTD for the most recent pay date (the 25th of this month)? This is my first paycheck from them and I have not received it yet. Wondering how long it usually takes? ...
. . . we have to retype the entire VR job because it is 99% WRONG.
It seems like it is getting worse instead of better. The last week practically every job has every fifth word right but the rest is wrong. At some point it quits being voice recognition and is pure transcription.
Any time we have to fix more than 10% of any job = straight typing. And they wonder why we HATE VR? It was nothing more than a ploy to get 50% of the MTs pay. ...
My paycheck always shows up in my bank on the internet effective pending the Friday before we get paid, not today! I even checked with bank personally, and they show no signs of it. Has payroll changed things? I guess I will wait to see if it shows up in bank tmrw, but this is odd it's not showing yet. ...
Demographics in header is the part of the job I dislike the most, espcially if speaker types it in wrong and then I have to look up the patient and type in the number and name myself. This takes the most time, and that's the part where one doesn't even get paid. ...
I'm not sure I understand the new pay rules. So there's 3 different criteria, line count or quantity, quality, and pending percentage. If we meet 1 criteria only, we get paid only 7 cents (or 3.5 cents editing), right? And if we meet all 3 criteria, is that 8 cents or 8.5 cents? ...
I worked for a company for 6 consecutive weeks. I have yet to receive a penny from them. Tried many times to find out why and keep getting excuses that seem to change every time to contradict what had been previously said. Has anyone else ever been in a situation like this? I have never in my life had anything like this happen and I am just unsure what else to even do.

Right now, I am sitting here because the platform is down. Legally, does my company have to pay me for the hours I'm not working? Their status is no, and work longer hours to make it up. I'm tired of this. ...
There is a company who is advertising openings. I went to their website and they are offering the clients VBC at 15 cpl and comparing it to other companies who pay 65 cpl with spaces at 12 cpl. I am wondering what they are paying their employees. I won't name the company, because I may apply to them. They seem like a true IC company where you can set your own hours and such, and those companies are hard to find nowadays. ...
