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.

Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.

12K lines payperiod is 6K lines a week.

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

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

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

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.
MQ. PTflex...2000 lines/week and 401K.
NM
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.
Have to LOL, wasn't it last week that people (sm)
were griping about the KS cheerleaders? I think there are several happy KS-ers on the board.
I agree with your point about the hospital platforms. I think that's why there are so many different experiences with KS expressed. Depends on what platform and account they're using.
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
I was just curious because I have had some people tell me they make over $1000 every week and that
seems impossible to me.
Nice people, can be low on work especially in the early part of the week SM
Be warned, they don't pay for normal reports.
again, realistically, most people are not doing 2000 lines a day
nm
Don't worry. Next week, the bitter people will move on to attacking another company. It is just
you watch this board, you will see a pattern. One a week. Have to shred the reputations of good companies to bits just to feel good about being unhappy in general. I wonder sometimes if these people job hop constantly, even work at all, or work for the company they are bashing. Maybe it's just sick fun for those with no outside lives :)
Agreed!!. They know exactly how they want those lines counted. That is why you hear people saying
that they averaged 200 lph at one company and switched and now get over 300 lph. It is all in how the counts are set up. Sounds like Transtech people are getting a bum deal. There has to be something to it because A LOT of people have complained. If it were randomly a person here or there I could understand but there are way too complaints not to be valid to some extent.
Nice people to work with. Lines never added up though.
I couldn't tell you about the benefits because I was part-time and didn't need them at that time. They use Dragon MT as their platform. I personally didn't like it.
Not just this week, a long term problem. Nice people, good benefits, but
nm
Well, what do they do when people dont meet their required lines due to no work. Most ridiculous
thing I ever heard of. Overhire and then I expect MTs are to work 24/7 to get in required lines. Nothing like making a total fool out of people. Hardly worth making minimum wage now is it.
Payperiod ... 2 wks....6K lines/week or 12K payperiod.
nm
think, people! If she does 250 lines/hour, same docs daily, will make $15/hour
nm
Nope .. email on 1/18 promised "within the next week." Here we are, 1 week later and no info.
x
The minimum is 5500 per week, NOT 6600 per week. I think you made a typo. :)
NM
i clear over 800 a week, 40/week; 30+ year experience. (nm)
x
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
I get my paycheck every week - that is enough for me! Happy MT week everybody! nm
x
I got laid off for MT Week. Happy MT Week to me!
x
Good last week - Slow this week.
I hope this is not an indication of things to come. I am getting 1,200 lines a day but it is taking me all day to do it. We seem to be out of work from 9-12 every day this week. Hope things pick up after Labor Day.
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
Regular lines, not weighted lines
was what I got paid for....
0.8 x 1000 lines = $80.00 - 0.8 x 1500 lines = $120.
People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
16 hours a week or 8 a week and get
401 K.
Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!
I worked for SS and some people were very RUDE and I am talking about the editing people in some
instances. It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company. They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!! Never seen anything like it before.
Why would anyone work 8 hours a week. The poster above said 16 or 24 hours a week.
