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
oh and they have incentive if you type over where they add $$ to your hourly rate for all hours work

Stinks. If you state your line rate requirement, they vanish. (nm))

Line rate and hourly
Okay, if you get paid 2 cents a line and there are no errors and you don't have to do a QA feedback, that is different. I used to get 3 cents a line and not have to give feedback and then they switched. I think we should have to give feedback, but it takes time and no raise was given. I also have a $14 an hour job. They are both part time. I can make more on the 3 cents a line.

Hourly rate? That's a laugh. Try 6 cents a line nm

TransTech does - Hourly in addition to line rate

No line rate change, we are being converted to hourly

About money, line rate is one thing, but hourly figures are another sm
Traditional: 8.5 cents per line. Top out at 225. $19.25 an hour.

Speech: 4.5 cents per line. Top out at 500. $22.50 an hour.

I split between the two and right now, that is running $700 a week or $36K a year. Not a huge salary, I know, but more than I made 10 years ago.

Could I push harder? Sure, but I don't need the money because I have structured my life so that I only need 1/2 my income to live on and I live alone. I like the part about not being exhausted on my days off, about being able to give up a terrible PT job, and having time to paint AND be able to have expensive, high-quality art supplies.

I am happy as a clam and I do not think that VR will take my job!!!! My only worry right now is that my painting is taking off with art shows, commissions and internet sales. I won't be able to work full time as an MT if this keeps up, and I know it will. I love being an MT and when it ends in favor of my artwork, I will be joyous over one and very much saddened over the other. It is and has been a wonderful career for me.

if you can hit your line count in fewer, go for it!
we just ask for the commitment, and that every full time employee hit their required lines. thank you.
"So many" job posting lately? I've seen fewer and fewer. nm

In my limited jobseeking experience I'm finding I only get to learn line rate after I spend hours
.
They have created a new position that pays hourly. Anyone know what the hourly rate range is? NM

A combo hourly/incentive or straight hourly rate based on
A platform where MTs have had major input in developing it.

10 annual days of PTO, at average hourly rate.

Affordable, decent health insurance.

QA done by very experienced high-level MTs, with open and respectful communication between QA and the MTs.
Line requirement
I was told 6,000/two week period.
Line requirement

What I meant to post, 6,000 lines/two weeks for a part timer, 12,000 lines/two weeks for a full time worker, whether you are statutory or employee

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!



Future Net's line requirement pp?

What is Future Net's line count requirement per pay period for PT and FT? 


INMT 


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.
is the VR line rate 60% of the regular typing line rate?

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.


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.
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

Hourly pay rate

I have been working for Transolutions since March, and so far I'm very happy with them.  They pay $10 for training (7 hours a day for 4 days the first week, if I remember correctly) and your first month you make $10/hour while you get used to your account.  You can also get extensions to that time period, as long as you continue making progress.  Once your evaluation period is over, your pay is based on production levels - from 150 up to 225 per hour, with the pay per line increasing as you go up - I think it work out to around $19/hour at the top level.  They also have bonuses, weekend differentials, and paid time off even for part-timers like me.


Hope that helps! 


hourly rate
You don't say what your experience is or rate of pay or how long you have been at this job and if IC or employee.  If you want to make $25 an hour you have to hit for 250 to 300 lines per hour if making 0.08 to 0.10 cpl.  If you are new, it will take a while.  But it is possible after years of experience and knowing how to do shortcuts, etc.  Just gotta hang in there.  You could not walk into an office and expect to make $25 and hour - gotta be patient and work up to it.  But it can be done but it has taken me many years to get there.  Patti
I have only done QA for an hourly rate. (sm)

QA is more than just filling in the blanks.  You have to give feedback and there is also mentoring.  New MTs to the company and accounts have to be on 100% QA, so those reports have to be listened to.  Doing QA on production is not a good thing.  If a company really cares about quality they would not pay QA Specialists by the line.   


Does MQ pay QA as hourly rate? Just

Hourly rate

Can anyone give suggestions of a MT company that pays hourly for IC work instead of line rate?  Can be FT or PT.


 


Hourly rate
Does anyone know of companies paying hourly rates?  Please email me if so, especially if using Escription platform.  Thanks
hourly rate
Yeah. Guess it must be a tall order these days.
hourly rate
I think the only place you're going to get an hourly rate for transcription is working in-house.  None of the work-from-home places pay hourly. There's no way to control if someone is actually working or not.
Any companies that allow line count rather than hours or less than 20 hours per week? (sm)

Wouldn't mind having something extra especially with Christmas and general winter expenses coming up but working a FT job and really don't want to do another 20 hours on top of that. 


 


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.
Transolutions, hourly rate?

Does anyone have info on Transolutions' new hourly rate?


Spheris hourly rate
Just remember that pay rate may be only for a specific platform and not universal.  :)
MT hourly rate jobs...sm
Are there any companies that pay hourly for straight transcription?
Our company has a set hourly rate that
you are paid and your time accumulates just like any other job. 1-5 years we get 2 weeks plus holidays, 5-10 3 weeks, over 10 years 4 weeks.
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.


Does anybody know what Transolutions hourly pay rate is and any info.. sm
I see that Transolutions is hiring and they are paying an hourly rate.  Am currently looking for a new job and was curious as to the rate, also any info. on the company.  I did an archives search but all posts are a year or so old.  Thanks you.
