Pathetic pay for freelancers - Freelance Transcriber Epiq Employee Review

- Unethical hiring policies where the remuneration rate isn't disclosed until you've completed three tests, 1h 40min in total - You're paid SGD13 for transcribing one 15-min audio file, which typically takes 2-3hrs (you can find better transcriber rates in the market) - Progression to higher pay typically takes more than a year, and is entirely on the manager's discretion based on your skills. They are not transparent with that. - You're required to commit to 14 days of uncompensated training - SGD140 will be deducted from your pay for purchasing a foot pedal - If you fall victim to such undercutting, please be aware that you're but one of the many in their pool of freelancers. So exploitation won't stop until their rates are made public.
