    Is this a live count of lines paid for or same as CTRL I that we do not get paid for ?? nm
    m
    Yes you DO get paid for 100 lines
    ichart is correct.
    I get paid 8 cpl with 1 minute = 10 lines
    nm
    No, for every 100 lines you type you get paid 100
    The ctrl-I counts headers and footers in the line count on the Extext document.  However, you get paid for what you type, not the headers which were already in place.  Maybe one day there will be a perfect line counter where neither of them counts headers but for now there are two different counters, the one that comes with the Extext document itself (including headers) and the one that comes from WHAT YOU ACTUALLY TYPE AND ARE PAID FOR.  How much simpler does this need to be explained?  You get paid for what you type - everything you type.  Period.  Okay?  Just because Extext counts the header doesn't mean a thing because ichart counts what you type and that is what you are paid by.  So far, there is no system for Extext to NOT include the header because it is reading the entire document including the header (that you didn't put type in the first place).  Extext count is wrong (although a little higher).  ichart count is correct.
    Got paid, but once again not for all my lines. Third time in a row
    I have been shorted.  I'm done.
    So if you transcribe 100 lines, you dont get paid for
    x
    You get paid for 15 lines no matter how many blanks
    /
    You get paid 15 lines for reports with any # of blanks
    If you do a full listen you get paid for all the lines. They discourage this unless the MT is on 100% proofing because they have a massive backlog. My pay was roughly half of my pay as an MT and I was one who got fired a few months ago because they were doing away with QA's in the US. Can't imagine why they are hiring for US QA's again.
    Last I heard 10,000 lines PPP gets half your insurance paid.
    ,
    Company paid me 179 for 4645 lines. Whats that 3.8 cpl?

    She does not seem to want to contact me about the money she owes me, either.  Thirty years and 3.8 cpl.  Unbelievable.        


    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.
    Whoops!
    Make that WORKING, not WORK. Tired!
    whoops
    Too fast, too early! I mean SOME, not soem mighty good jobs.
    Whoops, should be an rather than and. :) nm
     
    Whoops
    I meant to say purchased, not purchases. Guess you can tell I worked all night!
    Whoops, a bit over 39,000, SM
    Want to stay honest. But I know of people with over 50K and climbing. It IS an obsession. :)
    whoops
    meant to say the person who said, not people who said it was run by Bernie Madoff wannabes was correct. That person really has it pegged correctly.
    whoops - "floated to top" - you ARE

    at the top end of the VR pay scale.   Good for you.

    ..
    Training on the system, not paid, but if you are physically typing reports then you are getting paid
    nm
    Oh, yea -- PAID, too. Grandmother PAID LEAVE would be a great drawing card to TT !!

    Just love that PAID TIME OFF !!


    Any company that makes you wait to get paid until they get paid by the client
    is not a company you want to get involved with. That's part of being an MTSO, figuring out how to cover your payroll while waiting to get paid. I would stay away!
    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
    x
    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
    Me too.. the outsourced company was paid for and paid me for headers, but OSI does/did not.

    I have always paid yearly and have never paid or been assessed a penaltly. nm
    nm
    Be glad you get paid tomorrow. We are paid on the 1st and the 15th, so sm
    since the 1st is on a weekend, we don't get paid until Monday.  It will happen again on the 15th of August …sigh.  It is the only thing I do not like about the company, though, so I guess a few weekends of poverty a year is not too much. 
    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
    Lori never paid me and now ETC has not paid my friend.
    What is WRONG with these companies?    
    Is it still being paid on time if you are paid on the 1st and 15th.....
    and if the 15th falls on a Saturday getting paid on the 17th?  My bank is open and posts on Saturday that means I am not being paid on the 15th doesn't?  This has happened a lot lately. 
    At least you get paid, I would rather be paid late than not at all. Just my 2 cents.
    nm
    Yea, at least u got paid. Everyone who worked for TSI is STILL waiting to be paid

    I don't understand how Jayne cannot pay us.  We have christmas coming up.  I bet her family has a fantastic Christmas because she is using OUR money to pay for it.  I worked so hard for her and I know the other girls did too.  How insulting that she will not return phone calls or emails or PAY us.  How does she look at herself in the mirror knowing that the MTs who did all the work FOR her did not get paid.  She even sent me an email saying I give you my word HAHAHA her word is nothing, obviously.  Well, I will call the attorney for the THIRD time and see what is going on. 


    To the poster, at least you got paid even if it was late.  I sincerely hope you get your last check.


    Regular lines, not weighted lines
    was what I got paid for....
    12K lines payperiod is 6K lines a week.
    nm
    0.8 x 1000 lines = $80.00 - 0.8 x 1500 lines = $120.

    Whoops! I meant to address this TO fatcat, not FROM fatcat. Sorry Fatcat!
