Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.

The minimum is 5500 per week, NOT 6600 per week. I think you made a typo. :)
NM
No, they did not just raise the minimum at TT. The quota is 5500 per week for FT
and I have not had any problem whatsoever reaching it.
Good luck.
12K lines payperiod is 6K lines a week.
nm
How many lines do you do in a week?
,
More than 1200 lines a week?
so what's the point in being so rude to wandering MT?
11,000 lines per 2 week period. nm
FT = 6000 lines a week. nm

I know people who are doing 10,000 lines per week, sm
20,000 per period. I find it hard to believe that a recruiter would have discouraged you from hiring on here.
As for hiring now, there are new accounts coming on in December and January; that's why they are advertising for more MTs at this time.
Ugg this is so frustrating! I am going to try to get more lines the first week
of the payperiod and maybe that will help. I have a child but he is away for the summer so I am able to sit and wait 24/7. I just have to juggle the bills this time around, either pay for the furniture or the rent, but not both. Will be lying low this week food-wise too, good thing I am alone and can cut back on going anywhere or buying anything. Perhaps the recession will end and the new accounts will help. Going elsewhere might end up being the same thing, so I am going to overlap TT with something else. Just thinking aloud here... thanks for your feedback. It is hard to talk to coworkers when you are home and don't know anyone in the area who does the same kind of work.
How many hours in a week do you normally work to get your lines in?
Just curious. I work 50-plus hours here to make it work for our family, would love to cut back
I am able to make 10,000 lines M-F every week at eTransPlus - nm

Lines to type would be nice for MT week.
Excuse me but I am ahead of my lines for the week anyway sm
so if I want to make an omelete, that is my choice. Was I complaining for being out of work at that particular moment? No. Besides, I have work now and also, we are allowed a 30 minute break to eat by government criteria. I don't know if you know that or not.
Yes, 10 cpl, mininum of 5000 or 6000 lines per week I think. nm
x
11,000 per week editing lines, 5,500 straight typed.
Don't know how much it is for husband and kids. $70 a week for me and two kids.
MQ. PTflex...2000 lines/week and 401K.
NM
Now that bonuses are paid by total lines per week sm
it doesn't matter what your LPH total is, so you can stay clocked in or out for those little things, as you choose.
I love it. Got my full-time lines first week.
First time in years I am back to making my old money again. A good match for me, at least. IMHO. Been in the business over 26 years and I like it a lot. Can see acct. specs while typing, samples, have normals and inserts, etc. Never a problem and that was from day 1. And I am not a recruiter, I am an MT who has been around the block enough times to know a good think when I have it and to stay put. Good luck to you.
6000 lines per pay period (2-weeks) and 20 hours per week that is
Just clarifying.
First, what kind of time frame are we talkin? 6000 lines in a week?
I ask because 6 cpl is horrible and if they expect you to produce 12,000 lines in a week in order to get 9 cpl, well that's just nuts.
But I digress, you original question was should you continue to work when you do not have access to your line count --> NO! And the fact that you are getting the run around should be sending up red flags.
Now you couple that with the 6 cpl and I would have to say this place you work at sucks!
Can anyone tell me the required amount of hours/lines for part time per week for Focus? nm
nm
Told minimum PT was 3500 lines a week; requires 2 weekend days a month nm
xx
Spheris now has 5500 to 6000 as of last
ss
5500-6000 month
40 hr wk, large teaching hospital.
Sorry - yep 1100 per day or 5500 per pay period
nm
Payperiod ... 2 wks....6K lines/week or 12K payperiod.
nm
Nope .. email on 1/18 promised "within the next week." Here we are, 1 week later and no info.

i clear over 800 a week, 40/week; 30+ year experience. (nm)
x
1800 lines is easily achieved. I average 300-340 lines per hour. nm
x
10 lines per minute = 1500 lines for 150 minutes - average. nm

I average 1200-1400 lines per day with a national, and am only getting around 600-800 lines per day.
It's been this way since the day before Thanksgiving. I've been doing this for almost 30 years now, and more often than from Thanksgiving until the new year is the slowest time of the year. I have some months where I am swamped with up to 2000 lines per day. I stash that little extra money, and take advantage of a handful of extremely slow days this time of the year to actually cook dinner, decorate for Christmas, or do Christmas shopping. I actually anticipate this slow time every year and have grown to enjoy the breathing time. Any time I have attempted to pick up extra work with another company to supplement these slow times, the minute I get adjusted to the new accounts, etc. I have no time to finish all of my work because my full time job with national gets slammed again. Hang in there if you can, and hopefully your work will pick up significantly around New Years.
They work with you to make sure you get the lines required or the amount of lines you want...
I have never had a problem getting more work
I get my paycheck every week - that is enough for me! Happy MT week everybody! nm
x
I got laid off for MT Week. Happy MT Week to me!
x
Good last week - Slow this week.
I hope this is not an indication of things to come. I am getting 1,200 lines a day but it is taking me all day to do it. We seem to be out of work from 9-12 every day this week. Hope things pick up after Labor Day.
Minimum lines for FT used to be 60,000 keystrokes a day, about 925 lines. Pay was good. Just not a
s
Yes it is possible to double your lines. I cant type 460 lines an hour but I can get those with VR
x
Regular lines, not weighted lines
was what I got paid for....
0.8 x 1000 lines = $80.00 - 0.8 x 1500 lines = $120.
16 hours a week or 8 a week and get
401 K.
Why would anyone work 8 hours a week. The poster above said 16 or 24 hours a week.
:
It's not 1600 lines -- it's 16,000 lines...and
I've got my contract right here and have already gotten 2 checks and YES, I am getting 9.5 cpl base rate.
I don't know what other people are getting. Don't really care. I work for MY paycheck. Gosh.
Why would they "fix" lines? The more lines you
transcribe, the more you make, the more you make, the more you make. It wouldn't profit any company to put a lid on line counts.
MQ--week end pay
i think the NE is the only region that does not pay for week end and holiday pay. the Ohio office offers not only week end and holiday pay, but also shift differntial pay--and this is all without asking plus the MT's that were transferred there are getting all the lines they need and to top that off, they are in ONE acct, not like 4 or 5 in the NE
that is why it is a great office to be working with--
First week on DQS.. Please tell me it gets better. (sm)
It was only for half the payperiod, but WOW. When I finally did a count to see how much I had done it was a real surprise. I know I still have to look up instructions now and again and need to keep building my shortcuts, hope to heck I don't go bankrupt before I get it down to an art.
How long did it take the rest of you to get up to speed?
About a week or two
I actually cannot remember but I think it was a week or two.....
This is the end of my first week
All kinds of problems, very discouraged, tech problems.
last week....
they stopped taking aps/resumes because they had a lot (mtjobs). now they are hiring again. i went ahead and applied but makes me wonder what they are really looking for because of the notice they had about not taking anymore, and then all of a sudden they are.
But they say they pay once a week.
Dont they?
More week this week than last week, which
suprised me. I thought maybe some practices would have scaled back for Spring Break/Easter, but if they have, several MTs must have taken off too as we are nearly out of TAT and I have been doing an extra 600 lines a day.
