Any companies with a daily line requirement of 800?

I'm serious. Are there any companies IC or employee with a daily line requirement of around 800 or so? I seriously lose concentration after that but I love to transcribe.

What is the line requirement for them for full time?
Line requirement is 11,000 per pay period. sm

You keep a time sheet and turn it in every 2 weeks.  I am not sure as to how much time you are given to get up to speed, but they are a great bunch of people and seem to be very understanding and caring.  I am sure they would work with you if you were having problems.  And yes, you can make up your time if you are missing some hours.  Hope that helps. 


Good luck!

What is line requirement at Transtech?

Line count requirement

There are different pay levels.  To stay at the top level, you need to do 200 lph minimum.  P.S.  The web site is www.transolutions.net for more info. 


Yes, partially, if a line requirement is met per PP.

What is your minimum line requirement for FT?
Just curious what all is out there....thanks.
If you are entry level, what is the line requirement.

and how long will they give you to make that count.  Also can someone tell me what the pay will be for entry level.  I see they are hiring all the time and was interested.


 


Thanks.


I thought the line requirement was 1200 for SE - sm
Do you have any idea why this person above is saying 1400 lines/pay period and telling me to brush up on my math skills? I'm confused! I only want to do 1000 lines per day right now, at least until my youngest is off to Kindergarten! I guess it depends on how easy it is to make 1200 lines/pay period. I could give it a shot to try for their incentive bonus and if I find I am doing it consistently, maybe change my status. Thanks for your help!
line count requirement at Webmedx

Last week I trained on a my account,which is very large with many dicators.  Today is the end of my first full week of production and I am averaging 110 lph. The requirements are 150 lph.  My trainer said that studies show it takes an average of 30 days to get used to a new account and reach production.  Therefore, I have 2 more weeks to reach 150 lph,and I am worried.  My supervisor said to work towards goal, but I know line count is the bottom line.  Can any Webmedx MTs shed some light on what they have experienced.  Also, is it usually customary to give at least 90 days?  My quality is good;however, I really need to crank out the lines.  Thanks


rate and line count requirement
So you know the rate for single coverage and the line count requirement to be eligible for coverage? Do they have dental also?

Thanks---Sue

I am on my "final warning" for not making line requirement.
if my line requirement is not met.
So, you need mandatory overtime to reach your line requirement, huh? LOL
Gotcha!
Anyone know what is the full time line requirement per week? nm
Thanks.
Editing daily line count
What is considered a good hourly line count for editing?  I'm being asked this by a service....but our hospital pays by the hour and by report, not by lines.  I'm trying to come up with a reasonable number.  Thanks for your help!
Can you share what the daily line requirements are?
and maybe the insurance rates? TIA
Mandatory Daily Line Counts..

 Can someone tell me what the daily/weekly/per pay period mandatory line counts are for full time transcriptionists? (at the bigger medical transcription services, i.e., Transcend, Diskriter, MDI, etc.)  Also, how much more does a CMT make these days?  What about shift differentials and holiday pay?  It seems only fair that if an MT works a major holiday, like Christmas or Thanksgiving, that they are fairly compensated, but for some reason I wouldn't be surprised if they are not. 


Thanks a lot!


 


Hourly rate PT hours & fewer line requirement
Title means nothing at my company. All I do is assign work.
Stinks. If you state your line rate requirement, they vanish. (nm))

We are preparing to change to Clarity/line counts, rad. What is the requirement?
Spheris employee...
It absolutely is NOT a reasonable request for a minimum line requirement!

We are not machines!  20 years ago when I started out, my first job had a requirement of 800 lines per day (8 hours), that's 100 lines an hour.  Five years later it was 1000 lines a day.  I think the standard right now is around 1200 lines a day.  Now, someone's asking for 1600 as a minimum!?!?!!? 


I'm not saying there aren't people out there that can meet and exceed 1600 in a day.  I'm simply saying making 1600 a minimum requirement is absurd and unfair.


Do you find it hard to get your line count in daily? sm

And the recruiter told me that they did not mind you not working a strict daily shift as long as you got your line count in -do you find this to be true?  Thanks for your information!


The platform they use is horrible and slows you down with regards to meeting daily line count. Also,
QA can be bitchy, however, if you know your stuff and nip that bitchiness in the bud early on, they don't bother you later...except for one.  She's rude and vague in her f/u comments, so there is really no way around that one except not to take it personal.
TS has very outdated platform, and it's very hard to get a good daily line count. NMout

Any companies paying .10+/line?
If so, who and where are they??

Lousy companies pay QA by line.
Reputable, better companies pay QA by hour. If offered line pay for QA, just say NO and look elsewhere or do MT instead. You're much better off and it will be a help to your fellow QA people. We all have to stick together on this and say NO to line pay for QA. I think confusion here is the words editing versus QA. Many places now call VR MTs editors. Not the same thing as QA. For companies that still call QA people editors, they need to change that title because QA people are SO not merely editors. ;)
What companies pay by the gross line?

A list of companies would be great, thanks for your help!

IC companies line requirements

Hi,


Stat-IQ Solutions has a 2500-3000 line per week requirement - work when you want without a committed schedule.  I worked for them a year ago before I went full time with my current employer.  They are hiring - see MTjobs.com.


How do companies pay PTO when we are paid by the line.
Do they use an average of what you make most days and pay you that when you want your day off, or do they have a little bank of money that you can dip into when taking a vacation? Explain this to me please?
Many companies manipulate the line count either with
headers or footers or some other way and blame it on the account/hospital. This is nothing new. The indians just caught on to it.

All programs can be manipulated.

My own personal opinion, I think that they are charging the client for the H/F and making the profit off of it, like other companies have done. This is nothing new in the MT industry, unfortunately!
It varies widely. Most companies pay per line.
I've seen it as low as 3 cpl.  Some companies pay per hour, some as low at $10, others up to $16.   The ones that pay the lowest is probably off-shore work and in that case is isn't enough because you have to 100% edit and correct half of it- could also be VR work. 
You are exactly right. It is the crap companies paying by the line. (nm)

Anybody know of any companies who use EMDAT and pay more than 7 cents a line SM
besides Lee Perfect and Phoenix MedCom?
companies that do not post line rate...
In some of these postings (I'm talking mostly about the big nationals here), the recruiters spend LOTS of time talking about what they have to offer but are noticeably silent about line rate. If a company has so much to offer, it should be proud of the line rate it is offering. It always seems like they are trying to rope me in in some way & then will spring the bad news on me once they have a captive audience, like a bunch of used car salesmen.

If I don't see a line rate next to pay/compensation I just substitute embarrassingly low & move on to the next listing.

I've had the thought that the listings should be divided into Big National and MTSO --- and within that, willing to show line rate and not willing to show line rate.

Anyone else?
Any companies that only have a set minimum line count per day?
I'm an acute care Transcriptionist with 5+ years experience. I currently work at a hospital but am researching for a reliable company that only sets daily minimum line counts versus a set shift schedule you have to follow.  Any out there? Thanks for any advice.
Companies With No Line/Hour Commitment
Anyone know of companies that do not require a certain number of lines/hours per day or pay period.  I'm looking for a company that just needs help without a commitment.....maybe overflow, p.r.n. or fill-in work.   I work outside the home during the day and I recently had to give up a great company because of the daily line count.  Thanks!
companies paying by gross line
Does anyone know any companies that pay by gross line?  Any info would be appreciated. 
I agree, but it is what it is.....the companies don't care about anything but TAT and lines, line
Unfortunately, it all boils down to the bottom line, money.

I believe a "thank you" is warranted in many cases, but don't hold your breath for one.

It is sad, very sad.
companies with accurate line count systems
Does anyone know of a company that has a line count system that actually keeps up with our current line counts?
