Only FT and must get 1100 lines for the PP. .sm
Only the above. If you fall below the 1100 minimum for the pay period, you lose out on both PTO and internet reimbursement. I'm nott there any more, but was there 2+ years, first on FT who couldn't quite get up to the 1100 lines (guess why? combination of little/no work at the time as well as lousy 99% ESL account.So then I literally got pushed into PT status, where I had to pay everything and watch everyone else get PTO and their ISP reimbursed but still made lines close to FT but took twice as long. Nice deal, huh??
1100-1400 lines/day?...sm
Try getting your facts straight before you decide to shoot down a company. Keep on wandering and you may find some unlucky company who would love to have your attitude.
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.
ProScript only 8 cpl for 1100-1400 lines a day, THEN you go to 8.5 cpl. nm

1100 lines a day which is EASY to meet sm
I am fairly fast, but I got that 1100 on MY VERY FIRST DAY!!!
Lines are easy to get and I have so much work, it is unreal. I can and want to go all day and past it. I still have 4.75 hours to make up this week, but the work is holding at a high level and they are so low stress, I am not tired right now after 9.5 hours today, just want a break for a bit and a hot meal, then back to it.
I can't say enough good things about this place, I just can't.
Last year offering 8 cpl w/spcs on 1100+ lpd, 8.5 cpl for 1400+ lines. nm

Feel lucky you didn't get a rejection email. I have over 16 years experience
and this is the first test, since the very beginning of my career, that I have not passed. I am stunned. I'm not perfect by any means, but this is the first real rejection. I understood it early in my career, but after all this time, and working the past five years doing acute care for a couple of nationals, I get turned out by this company because I failed the test and they do not even tell you which part. I needed this job, but I guess it's back to the drawing board.
No. You are lucky to get your lines in for the day for
half rate VR.
You are very lucky: Only 10 corrections in 100 lines? Wow!...sm
Please tell me the company, so that I can switch.
Even if you're FT, you'll be lucky to have enough work to get your lines,

Incentives? What incentives? Lucky I can get the minimum lines.

Lucky You ... I was not so lucky to work with that platform
Meditech - it was awful. I kept getting promised that my account was going to ChartMatrix, but it never happened and the Meditech system was SO slow. I loved TH, the people, etc. - so if you can get an account that is on ChartMatrix - hop on it. But, avoid the accounts that are on Meditech because I don't think they are EVER going to convert (and I waited quite awhile - couldn't take it any more).

1800 lines is easily achieved. I average 300-340 lines per hour. nm

I feel the same way. I'm irritable because I feel

We're all just cogs in the wheel.
10 lines per minute = 1500 lines for 150 minutes - average. nm

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

consider yourself lucky
It's better you find out how horrific the communication is now than waste your time getting hired/quitting your other job, and them jerking you around.
Take it from someone who knows EXACTLY where you are coming from.
Well, you must be lucky...sm
Like the poster below, it took me 6 weeks to get my first check. Two weeks worth of work invoiced on the 1st was not paid until the 27th. That is beyond a long wait for 1 paycheck. Also, while I knew I would not be paid for headers/footers working in Extext, I was quite surprised when I got my check and 30% of the total line count was deducted. Considering the headers/footers only accounted for 5 to 6 lines a report, they were ripping people off big time. What excuse could they have for not sending someone a paycheck?
Lucky you!
I just emailed the payroll person to see about why the check I got was wrong and she says she only issues the check and she can't help me with any issues. I just would love a straight answer from someone and for someone to step up and do what is needed.
Your one of the lucky ones
I am no longer an IC for TTS nor will I ever be again or will i EVER refer anybody to her dungeon. LK has a serious problem with favoratism. If you are one of her goody two shoes that she not only pays on time but gives them all the good work, (cuz yes, she does cherry pick herself and give her favorites the good work so they can make more money) then you don't have any problems. Fortunately but yet unfortunately for me, I was one of those people that she Cherry picked for and when I got paid I got paid well, but I can't live on a not knowing when I was going to get paid. This is not a new problem for TTS. This has been ongoing since February of about 2 or 3 years ago, I can't remember what the year was.
There is no doubt that TTS has GREAT accounts, a GREAT platform, and LK does know how to take care of systematic problems, but she doesn't know how to run a business professionally, unless you are one of her favorites!
How lucky you are?
You must not work for a national!
Lucky?!
Your lucky! I worked for On-Point MTs and am owed $1400.00 that I will probably never see because the owner stole all the money her MTs earned...
I have a bounced check from one of the payments I recieved and never recieved payment for that or any of the other work I did for her.
Stay away from On-Point now and in the future. Her name is Bawnie Bartlett and her husband is Aaron Bartlett.
I would say you got very lucky! nm

Lucky you
A lot of us did have problems getting paid. There was not always plenty of work either. Sometimes we did run out.
Lucky you....
My emails are never answered. Maybe I should use your name in my subject line in order to get a reply.
Consider yourself lucky
We still have autumn leaves.
LUCKY!
You are so lucky! I have to drive what I can pay for. You are fortunate to have such a generous husband. :)
Lucky you, we are all not so lucky.

Boy you are lucky! (sm)
I can crank out 500 lines an hour but there's no place I've found that allows me to do that. Sure I can do 1000 lines a day and make $20+ but if I only work 2 hours, 3 max, that's only $60 a day and no where near coming close to making $8000-$9000 a month.
If I could make HALF that a month, I'd shut up and type. I'd be in heaven and I'd never gripe about my life/job/bills again!
I'm lucky if I make that in 6 months. You are definitely NOT the norm and I'd hate for people to think that you're making a normal average salary ... the work pool would be saturated and those of us with 16+ years experience and in a normal crappy MT situation would be even worse off.
I hope you count your blessings every day because there are tons of us who wish we were in your shoes!
Lucky?
Gal! Please don't fall for this. Sounds like a bunch of hype to me. Telling you that you are lucky? This is is the jargon of a company who knows it's an employer's market and, believe me, once they get you, they will use you up and discard you without looking back! You will be using your equipment, financial resources, and knowledge to line their pockets. Run the other way.
and you are lucky she does
If she didn't and took all she could, you might be the one who ends up with nothing. Gee, maybe she should go ahead and take it all.
You don't know how lucky you are
Rudeness is their game.
