6000 lines per pay period (2-weeks) and 20 hours per week that is
Just clarifying.
6000 lines for SE in Texas
my region requires 6000 lines for SE, which i think sucks. I was lied to months ago. they said that all offices were going to require 6000 lines for SE's across the board. I don't know what would make me think they were telling the truth!!
FT = 6000 lines a week. nm

I was told 6000 lines for 2 weeks when I hired
in as an SE 6 weeks ago.
Yes, 10 cpl, mininum of 5000 or 6000 lines per week I think. nm

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!
3.34 hours per pay period,
and we former TRS people were grandfathered in such that our hire date with TRS is now our official hire date for Transcend, if that makes sense....
However, having said that, lest I be accused of anything I do not mean, I will state (again) that this has been MY experience. I can't speak for any other mergers, where the terms of the merger might be different....
No, it's not. 3.385 hours per pay period for your first year and then it
goes up from there. I think it ranges from a low end of 11 days in year one to like 25 days after 10 years. Just call them and ask.
Webmedx training period. Is it 8 hours a day or...
whatever period of time your trainer designates for those first few days. I'm starting Webmedx on Monday. I guess I could wait to find out, but would be nice to know what others' experiences have been. Thanks!!
11,000 lines per pay period. nm
12,000 lines per pay period
It's a pretty strict requirement for all full-time MTs to make their lines in order to remain full-time and keep benefits. Obviously, if there are valid circumstances that prevent you from making your 12,000 lines, they are very understanding. They will help everyone in any way they can.
20,000 lines a pay period would be wonderful.
I'm lucky to get 10,000 to 12,000.
12,000 lines per pay period to be considered SE...nm

12,000 lines/pay period not 1200
I'm sure it was a typo, and I'm not picking on anyone, but I just want to clarify that it is 12,000 lines per pay period that is required of an SE which is roughly 1200 lines a day. Hope this helps! 
1200 lines/pay period?? nm

1200 lines a pay period
The requirement for direct deposit is 14,000 lines a pay period CONSISTENTLY, so in breaking it down over a 13-14 day period, a bit over 1,000 lines a day -- hope you can brush up on you math too
I meant to say 12,000 lines per pay period (nm)

12,000 lines per pay period for FT status

Well above 12K lines a pay period HOORAY! nm.

x number of lines per pay period. I have sm
insurance for myself and husband and it runs right at 200 a pay period but it is fantastic insurance. It has only gone up once since 2003 when I started working for Webmedx.
I manage to get almost 20,000 lines per pay period typing.
if you really must know.
Insurance way too high. 12,000 lines per pay period.
All they offer are the few days of PTO. That does not include sick days or personal days and if you take a holiday off you will also have to use PTO to get paid for it, only pay for holidays if you work um.
My friend told me that there is no way she will be able to make the minimum line requirement after being switched to a VA account. She also said that on a whole their accounts are lousy and QA is very inconsistent.
Is there anyone working for Keystrokes that has not been able to get 12,000 lines per pay period? sm
If so, how is that handled by the company?
10,0001 lines per pay period for FT with benefits. nm
I'm fulltime IC, need to get 10,000 lines per pay period, believe parttimers need 5000 per pay
period. They've been very flexible with me, as long as I get in the required lines by the end of the pay period. We use DQS platform, which is user friendly, but I don't think it's as easy to get lines as on some of the other platforms, I think because of the way it counts them. DSG is a good fit for me, always treated me fairly, pay is on time.
Had you worked for them very long? How many lines were you averaging each pay period?
That is terrible. I am so sorry to hear that. Best of luck to you in your new job.
Full time empoyee status only -- 1000 lines/day, 10,000 per pay period.

Blue Cross medical,Guardian dental, Spectera vision, 10,001 lines per pay period. sm
Cost per pay period for single coverage is $94.36, $1.68 vision, $7.06 dental. Hope this helps.
MQ hours/lines
It's true...20 hours for part time and 4,000 lines in a two week period and for NON STATUTORY - must work full 40 hour weeks AND maintain 12,000 lines or be changed to SE and no benefits.
hours or lines?
I don't get it-it seems like MQ (been here 6 years) wants to pay by the lines AND wants the hours. I used to have overtime on the weekend and even if I typed 6,000lines during the week they wouldn't give me extra for weekend unless the hours were also there. Who cares about hours? Make up your mind!!!!
hours/v/lines
Yes, you are absolutely correct. That is why they are going to the new platform DQS so that they can play big brother and watch everyone and monitor everything. They have control of everything, time, work, etc.,etc.,etc.
For HIM it is lines, for rad it is hours. nm

they go by lines - not hours. nm

Hours/Lines
Actually, an MTSO is within their right to have an expectation of achievement be it xx hours or xx lines and still be within the law with regard to employment status.
They can say in order to be hired as an IC for this position, we need 1200 lines. If you hired a painter to paint your house and he came in did 3 strokes, walked out and didn't show up again for a week, he's still a contractor, but he's not meeting the likely expectation.
Which is why ALL ICs should have contracts with their clients.
not hours but lines.....
you make a commitment of lines...you are an IC...they are great if you can't get your committed lines...just need to let them know and why...some of their accounts are really tough, so check it out before you make a commitment..
After 10 hours and still not enough lines..sm
to meet my quota I am quitting. Just too tired to sit here any longer. One of the most frustrating days of many!
Spheris does that as well...hours/lines...
The hours are kept up with so that OT can be paid. Federal regulations influence that because all MTs are employees.
I don't know why, but I am not having any problem getting my lines and hours.
I do multiple accounts with heavy EsL. Honestly, it's just best to plough right through them instead of taking multiple breaks because they don't go away. I do know how hard it is though.
I agree you need to utilize Shorthand extensively. Every time you get an OP, copy it to Shorthand under the doc's name (smithjohn/lapchole). The next time you get that doc, you'll have the report to reference and you'll be amazed at how many blanks you're able to fill in then. Do the same for ROS and PE. Docs are notorious for doing those by rote.
The best possible advice I can give you is to utilize the echart and Alt+G features. If you do this, you'll absolutely breeze right through the ESL dictations and you'll see your line count go up.
making those hours/lines
I agree. It's a good company but a struggle to get in hours and make lines. It's has been like that for a while.
My company goes by lines instead of hours.
5000 lines every two weeks.
The OP asked what is FT, lines or hours. For RAD, you are on a sm
schedule, thus it is hours. 40 hours is full-time. For HIM, you have to hit a certain number of lines. Once you hit it, you are done for the day even if it took you only 5 hours. With radiology, you have to work the entire shift you are scheduled for. The PAY is by the report, the SCHEDULE is by the hour.
lines vs hours worked
Would like to work for company with line requirement
versus hours worked.
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.
1000 lines in eight hours??
If a person types that slow then obviously being an MT may not be for them! I type around 300 LPH and that averages up to a lot more than 7 bucks an hour.
Now you can not make your lines in 9 hours!
