Do you think that 1500 to 2000 a week is possible?
This is a serious question, because I have been there a while and still not up to that. Maybe 1450 but not the big numbers. Wondering if it takes a while or if it is the platform.
2000 lines/day
How long does it take you?  That's amazing!!  By the time I get my 1000 lines done, I'm ready to quit for the day!
7.5/ln if do 2000 lines a DAY, OH PLZ
20,000 per pay period
10,000 per week
2000 X5 days = 2000 per day

for a whole 7.5 cents a line. They otta be emailed by all MTs and say HAIL NO, unless and until you agree to work for $1.50 an hour yourself. If nobody speaks up, wellllll
My policy also says 16 hrs a week, PTO, and 401K..sm
I'd be asking to see their policy, because that's what mine says also.
Who wants 2000 lines a day? That's outrageous! nm
m
How long does it take you to do 2000 lines nm
nm
at 80+ reports, you are doing about 2000 lines
nm
But are your 2000 lines per day ACCURATE?
If you expect to work at TT and shoot off 2000 lines per day that have a lot of errors you have just moved to the wrong company. You will be admonished about that. And you should be. Flying fingers don't cut it at TT unless the work is accurate. If you have a lot of Expanders and produce a lot of quality work you will be an asset. I have never made 2000 lines a day at TT but my work is accurate and they are a great company.
2000 lines per day, what kind of work are you doing? nm
xx
again, realistically, most people are not doing 2000 lines a day
nm
3 cents per line up to 2000 lines per day
and then an incentive but still diddly for QA pay
To the MT wanting to know if 2000 lines a day at TT is doable sm
I am beginning to think it is really doable. I have 5000 lines for my week, 3 days in this week and I don't have the latest out of iChart either. Yes, it is doable. I have been there...oh 3 weeks and 3 days and I can do this already.

Yup, it is doable.
How long did it take you to build up to 2000 lines a day?
x
Forgot to include 2000 lines a day sm

On the first posting, it posted half way down the page (don't know why) so scroll downward for the figures.  It looks like there is no message (there is though)


Anyway, don't accept something like this, no matter what from this CHRISTIAN company as they put it.  This is clearly taking advantage of very very very skilled technicians.  Just makes me so darn mad to see stuff like this. 


2000 lines a day at $0.18 cpl. Believe it.....Not original poster, another one making $$$$. nm
x
I average 1800-2000 lines a day on BeyondTXT.
nm
Big difference between 2000 and 3000 lines per shift.
nm
The only post I see that is idiotic is yours. You just admitted you did 2000 lines sm

straight typing, 3000 lines at VR for HALF pay.  So you lose.  If you were to break even then, you'd have to do at least 4000 lines on VR.  I don't honestly remember what you said you made, but most companies pay half for VR.


Before attacking, perhaps you should learn the fine art of reading and comprehension.


Ultimately, though, you're happy, so more power to you.  I'm happy too, so I guess it is a good Friday for both of us.  I will not respond to any more of your posts, but I do resent name calling and labeling by someone who obviously has a lot to learn himself/herself.


2000 lines, I havent done that in years. What work type do you do? nm
xxxx
2 small MTSOs, IC, work 8-10 q.d. ~6 days a week, ave 2000-2300 biweekly, 10 yrs exp. 0.06gross and
;
Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.
x
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

150 lph x7-8 hrs or 5500 lines a week for 35 hr min.
X
FT = 6000 lines a week. nm
x
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
x
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.
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
Payperiod ... 2 wks....6K lines/week or 12K payperiod.
nm
Also $2000. mo.
I'm right there with ya, pass the Kleenex. Over 10 years' experience, work to exhaustion, and bring home $2000. a month.

Years ago it was easy to build up normals, especially for Op reports, and get a decent lph rate. Now, shortcuts are unheard of -- my accounts are teaching hospitals so there are new residents every semester and it's like starting a new account every few weeks.

The old accounts with normals and easy dictators have gone by the wayside in my world -- apparently some of the high-earning posters here must have found them.


You too? I was always a 1800-2000 SM
line producer daily until I worked for them.  1200 and it was taking me 9-10 hours to get those 1200 lines.  Something is wrong with their line counting.
If you read their ads, you see that they are XP and 2000 only. sm
I spoke to KS a few weeks ago and was told that they do not accept satellite or VISTA. I have both :(

I think In Shock should concentrate on fixing the situation or moving on rather than continuing on and on here. The people she is angry with probably don't bother with these boards. They have other fish to fry. I know that I read these posts for entertainment when bored, but if I want real information, I go to the source.

Give it up and move on or figure out a way to work with them. If they do read these, I am sure they can figure out who you are and would not even want you at this point if you are just going to keep harping on it.

There are other companies out there that might use VISTA, but I have not seen many.

Have you tried talking to the person who you say told you this? On reading your post, I could not tell.
I usually get 1800 to 2000
.
Usually averaged over 2000 per day, but
why do you ask?
They don't have 401K as far as I have seen. nm

401k
Why don't you contact Spheris HR? They should know what is going on.
401K
I am battling the same thing - keep in mind if they match they must do that before the end of the year, but your moneyshould be right away - dont stop at the labor board - contact your financial holder of the 401 k and report them. Labor board will not go after interest and cap gains and other earnings, so get your ducks in a row and go after them for everything, not just what they did not deposit in a timely fashion. My company - I worked fulltime in house - asked fo rmy resignation and now are fighting unemployment, although I can do IC work, it has no gaurantees to the amount every week, so I can get unemployment, they even said she harrassed me once I found out they took my money.

Get the plan profile and contribution schedule that is where you need to start. Your plan admin will also file with their compliance department and freeze any assests the company has until you get your money.
IRA and 401K

I saw some postings earlier and wanted to let you all know, just going to the labor board about money not being handled correctly may not be enough - however, I went righ to the SEC website and lodged a complaint against the plan holder for not managing my account, not giving me the information regarding the plan structure when asked, and for not informing me when my company did what they did.  So if your company is screwing around, put in a complaint about the holder of the plan, that will get someone off their butts to help you out - they certainly do not want to be blamed when the SEC asks why they allowed mismanagement.  I placed my complaint yesterday and the good ol SEC called me today.  Just thought I would pass it on for those who have the same problem.


Again, the complaint is with your plan holder, who certainly would not want what your company did to be held against them.
