1100 lines a day which is EASY to meet sm

Posted By: Happy New TTer on 2008-01-17
In Reply to: What are their minimum line requirements - and do they have life insurance..

I am fairly fast, but I got that 1100 on MY VERY FIRST DAY!!!

Lines are easy to get and I have so much work, it is unreal. I can and want to go all day and past it. I still have 4.75 hours to make up this week, but the work is holding at a high level and they are so low stress, I am not tired right now after 9.5 hours today, just want a break for a bit and a hot meal, then back to it.

I can't say enough good things about this place, I just can't.

How easy or difficult is it to meet your
line requirements with their accounts and typing platform?
No, it's per pay period and relatively easy to meet!
I'd be happy to answer any questions.
Only FT and must get 1100 lines for the PP. .sm
Only the above.  If you fall below the 1100 minimum for the pay period, you lose out on both PTO and internet reimbursement.  I'm nott there any more, but was there 2+ years, first  on FT who couldn't quite get up to the 1100 lines (guess why? combination of little/no work at the time as well as lousy 99% ESL account.So then I literally got pushed into PT status, where I had to pay everything and watch everyone else get PTO and their ISP reimbursed but still made lines close to FT but took twice as long.  Nice deal, huh??
1100-1400 lines/day?...sm
Try getting your facts straight before you decide to shoot down a company. Keep on wandering and you may find some unlucky company who would love to have your attitude.
1100 lines in 40 hours, must be the -- sm
dictator(s) of our dreams!  And this is just for actual transcription, but what part of the 40 hours does the other work fall into, the demographics, emails, look-ups, re-dos, re-listen, twiddling thumbs while doc is asleep or browsing the charts, etc.
ProScript only 8 cpl for 1100-1400 lines a day, THEN you go to 8.5 cpl. nm
.
I feel lucky if I get 1100 lines a day. I was doing sm
at least 1500 a day on DocQscribe. 
Last year offering 8 cpl w/spcs on 1100+ lpd, 8.5 cpl for 1400+ lines. nm
s
You will work many hours over 40 to meet your lines nm
nm
Yes, 10 cpl for the first 6 pay periods if you meet the 1300 lines, sm

8 cpl if you do not.  After the 6 pay periods, if you become an employee, then the rates change.  I think 10 cpl then was only for 3rd shift. 


I just wanted a part-time position, but the 10 cpl sounded rather attractive.  Of course, it doesn't matter how much someone pays if you don't have the work or can't make the lines. 


Thanks again for your input.  We'll see if I even passed the test. 


Well, what do they do when people dont meet their required lines due to no work. Most ridiculous
thing I ever heard of.  Overhire and then I expect MTs are to work 24/7 to get in required lines.  Nothing like making a total fool out of people.  Hardly worth making minimum wage now is it.
Are lines easy to get, more typing than
filling in demographics?  Are sound files good overall?  How strict are they on schedule - are they rigid or can you have a little flexibility. 
I hit 1200 lines a day easy, sm
I hit 1200+ daily at Axolotl.  I was reaching my line counts within the first week.  As stated in another message, it could be the difference in accounts/dictators.  I work on several accounts though.
With Transtech, how easy is it to get your minimum lines
nm
I started at 0.08 but am at 0.085. The lines are easy to get. For some reason, I type sm
more lines in 6 hours than I used to in 8 hours at a small company in Tampa.  It might be because I have two doctors that I am responsible for and am the only ones that do them.  I also help on two others when their Transcriptionist is off or has too much. 
Can you say where you work where it's so easy to make your lines? All I come across is crap out
s
I work on Scribe...very easy to get lines in my opinion...
money is also decent...
OSI rocks. Easy lines. 900+ in 4 hours - now wish i would have stayed with them. nm
nm
nothing but repetative phrases, piece of cake. just be easy lines.
and tons of just use my normal templates.

Ever think of that?
I agree that it is an easy platform, but compared to other platforms I have used, lines are harder
to get, probably counted or weighted differently.
Anyone know of a company, easy clinic work, easy Word format, dependable pay? Help!

I love it. It is fast, easy to learn and easy to use.

Pay 8 cpl w/spaces for 1100 lpd, 8.5 cpl for 1400 lpd. nm
s
Hey, I do have a life, ya know. To do 1100-1400
nm
Sorry - yep 1100 per day or 5500 per pay period
nm
Do know either question, but I was offered 8 cpl on 1100 lpd with experience. You get 8.5 cpl if U
m
Dunno. Recruiter told me 8 cpl w/sp. for 1100 lpd, 8.5 cpl if you do 1400 lpd. nm
f
When there is a lot of work, do you find it hard to make 1100?
cause I sure do.
Don't know but last year offered 8 cpl w/sps from 1100-1400 lpd. Then went to 8.5 if consistently
s
Platform very easy and quick - easy to get used to. :)
.
8 hrs & 1100 lpd have to occur for FT benes. FT pay 8.5 cpl. People have had trouble with paychecks

What happens if you don't meet your

I meet
and some days exceed the minimum line count. As with any job, there's a learning curve. This is not a place where you can have a day of training and be up to speed. It will take 2-3 weeks before you are likely meeting production lines. You are, however, paid hourly while training, so it takes some of the pressure off.
Pay offered last year was 8 cpl/w on 1100 lpd. Some posters said they lost all their good accts
s
Offered 8 cpl w/sp on 1100 lpd & 8.5 cpl on 1400 lpd. Bonuses on production for statutory emps.

I have 4 "criteria" to meet to get it....(sm)
I have to have 98% on QA;

I have to type the schedule I committed to or arrange for;

I have to type 1600 lines on weekends;

And agreed to the incentive plan (which I signed and sent in when I started).

I had 13,823 lines this past payperiod. I had to work for it, no doubt about it. I really want to get to the 16,000 and even more but I don't know that I can do it consistently. Of course, I'm still learning my accounts so I'm sure it could get a bit easier or faster. It's no walk in the park, though. I have to concentrate and just really stick to it.

A friend of mine who referred me to MQ, she types 18,000 PLUS every check. I kid you not, she is the fastest thing on the keyboard I have ever seen. When I'm at her house, I just sit and laugh listening to her type -- she sounds like some kind of machine gun in there! ROFL

Now I would LOVE to type that much but I doubt seriously I EVER get it!!!

Too bad..I could really spend that money really well!!! ROFL
as long as I meet TAT on my ....
doctors. I have a responsibility of a few doctors and as long as there work is all in within TAT I get to pick when I work. I think these kind of jobs are more IC jobs, so keep your eyes open on the board for IC jobs were you can make your own hours. I am sorry for all the rudeness on this board. I think people look for any way to cut or degrade or turn around anything anybody posts here.

Good luck!
as long as I meet my TAT
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. That's basically what I'm looking for and basically what I do now. I guess it must have come out wrong because farther down in the posts I noticed one similar to mind worded differently and there were no rude emails in response to that post.
Yes I cannot meet my quota
Hope we pick up soon
They want you to meet your daily
lines counts. I don't think that is asking for too much.
1100 lpd for FT, good sound quality, ExText software, LOTs of ESLs..nm

I don't see it as a conflict of interest. If you meet your

obligations to each company it isn't anyone's business what you do. 


When you sign a contract with a company rarely is there a clause about not working for oneone else, only a noncomplete clause.


Now if you are using their equipment for the other company I see a major issue with that, maybe not illegal, but certainly not ethical.  I


 


I did not meet my line count...sm

and I worked a few extra hours on my days off to try to get more lines, but there wasn't much work then either. 


Leads actually are expected to meet
a certain quota like everyone else. Otherwise, they'd starve. Leads have to pay their bills like everyone else.
Thanks for your help, but I don't think I could ever meet the quota needed. sm

I am working all the time editing/fixing and trying to remember all the rules for each account.  I do not see with the way the platform is ever being able to make the amount needed to keep my insurance, and they have already extended my insurance for me before.  I thought when I started doing more editing I might be able to get more lines, but then I would have to do double the lines, and with the way the reports are looking when I see them there is too much fixing to ever get there.  It looks like when the computer does not know what the doctor is saying in plain English it just types whatever it wants.  It is actually amusing how it comes up with a whole sentence of unrelated words.


I don't understand. Even as an IC, there are deadlines to meet for the client.

Got an email wanting to know why I did not meet my production.....

12+ hours a day, 30 yrs exp, and can't make ends meet?
How many lines do you type in that 12+ hours a day? What is your line rate? Get incentives?

Even if you typed 100 lines an hour, that's 1200 lines a day at 8 cpl that would $96 a day.

What in the world are you paying for rent?! lol
But if COMPANY is reason cant meet production,

Are the goals hard to meet? How long do they give you to get there? (nm)

Maybe so, her work was bad & she didn't meet line counts
