It's longer than the "standard" 65-char. line so will take you longer to make those lines!

I see they pay on a VBC line. Isn't that a huge paycut from a 65-char. line with spaces? nm

Northeast Transcription says that FT is 32 hrs/1000 lpd, but 70-char.lines with all spaces and

I make .05 - 65 char line now, what should I be getting?
I have been working for almost 2 years.
They are paying 0.05 per 65/char line for VR nm

Spaces are about 27% of a 65 char line

Will it be a 65-char. line or longer? nm

55 char line with spaces
Ok guys how does a 55 char line WITH spaces = to a 65 char line. I was offered 8 for 55 char line with spaces and counts underlines, bolds, hard returns etc.
55 char line with spaces
Is 8cpl for a 55 char line with spaces and double counts for bold, underline, etc a good rate. Sorry, but i am used to getting paid for a 65 character line. What does this equal out to? Does anyone know how to figure it out. TIA!!
ya, it was a wierd char/line...sm
you are sane in my book, if that counts LOL
8.5 cents per 70 char/line with spaces
Does anyone get paid like this? Is this good?
Is a 55-char line without spaces good?
Does anyone know how a 55-character line WITHOUT spaces would compare to a 65-character line WITH spaces? Which one is better?
Paid for 55 char black line...
Can anyone tell me if they get paid this way instead of the 65 w/ spaces? If anyone else does, can you tell me roughly the difference it makes versus getting paid for spaces?
Thanks
The average 65-char line has more than 10 spaces.
Your math is flawed.
Mark off a 65-char line. Then take random
sentences from your reports. Then count the spaces. Or you could put it in Word and use the tools to average it out. The average of spaces per 65-char line is more than 10. Try it yourself rather than just believing what you've been told.
Sounds like a gross line though, not 65-char.
Don't know if I misinterpreted the ad, but it might not be too bad if it is a gross line depending on dictator style. If there are a lot of short lines like on my current account, it could work out really well. I would actually make more at 6 cents per gross line than I make at 8 cents per 65-character line. Comparing the last report I just did, I made $5.08 for the report at 8 cpl, but if I had been paid 6 cents per gross line, I would have made $8.58. Can't really judge line rate unless you have all the info.
Not true. They pay based on a 65-char line with spaces.
nm
PS - pay based on 65-char line, SPACES INCLUDED. SM
Also paid for weekend work, 2nd and 3rd shift differential. Bonus plan based on production.
The norm in the 80s was 4 cents per Gross Line, not 65 char with spaces. nm

If you are paid cpl based on 65 char.line, margins dont matter.

They use MedRite software, only offered 7-8 cpl on a 70-char. line w/spaces. Supposed to offer

I checked before I posted here. I thought of that first.
Thanks though.
I thought they fired all hourly. Then someone posted below
that she spoke to them a few days ago and was told that QA is paid hourly? What gives?
It was posted last year that your first check with them won't show up for 4-6 wks. nm
s
Same here as I posted previously. Check archives here.
,,,
I saw this posted some time ago and thought then, hmmm, not a good idea
You were outraged and it was very apparent as you spoke then of they knew who you were and you really spoke your mind. I know we are supposed to have freedom of speech but having said this it was like you did not care if someone came after you and now, well seems like that has happened. I am not saying it is right but sometimes good to keep thoughts to yourself, especially now since you have heard from the state. You said you are flattered. I would never been flattered to have someone sue me. Seems like you bit off more than you can chew.
Spaces are not taken into account with gross lines....a line is a line...sm
if there seven words on a line.
or two
one
or a full line of typing...all of the companies that I have worked for define a gross line as 1 inch margins, 12 pt courier font....does not matter what we type in margins or font.....we convert all reports to the 1 inch margins and courier 12 font and then count the lines. not the blank spaces between the lines.
Hope this helps.
I thought so too but wanted to check...(sm)
well..that's weird..I just went back to look at the job description again and it's gone!!! Very strange....
My thought too which is why I did a check on the company
and apparently the company does some transcription. I also have a watch on my credit report, etc., so will know if I am a victim of identity theft. I will know where to start looking!!
Never thought to check that way. I am getting a few reports here and there (sm)
But don't want to spend my whole Sunday back and forth checking for work to get my hours in.
May I ask, how long have you been with them? Do they overhire to train for new accounts or are these new people just added on to keep TAT in check?
Terry..check the archives..you posted this back in 8-23-2007. See inside.

I am on EXTEXT and I get to check my own lines...
I am happy with that. I do about 200 lines an hour, sometimes less, sometimes more.
FYI - If you go there, better double check your lines!!!!!! nm
@
That's what I thought too, and in that case, I would take lines over hours any day. nm
I've worked there 7 years and had what I thought was a problem with my check, but that was
due to MY mistake. I accidentally counted lines typed after midnight on the last day of the pay period and thought I would get paid for them. It was when I first started. They actually cut me a check for those lines that day. Glad I work close to the office.
Just to clarify for you, Grace does the paychecks on site. If there is a problem with your check, call the 1-800 number and ask for Grace or email Grace@medwaremt.com. She will check the problem and fix it right then and there. Don't go to the team leader, go to the person who does the checks. Her office is also right next to the Flannery's so it not a big thing to get them signed.
That last line you posted....
THOSE PEOPLE WHO BRAG CAN'T TYPE AND DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR WORK!!!
Keep telling yourself that, hun.
That one single line you posted made me realize you're one of those who can't cut it in VR and therefore presume anyone who does well at it must be lying or simply uploading inferior work. Is it that difficult to grasp that perhaps some people just have an ability that you lack, or does it make you personally feel better about your lack of ability in an area to call others liars or slackers? Just because you cannot conquer it does not mean no one can.
There's always one of you around with not much better to do than TRY to convince yourself we're liars for doing well at VR.
Good luck with the Q.
I also received a check from them for lines not counted, but this was
7 or 8 years ago and mine just was not set right. It was not any big deal, my supervisor (who was a good friend) told me that it was not on purpose, just I was running an old program.
yes, but obviously if she thought 500-odd lines was acceptable in the beginning there was a problem

I thought the deductible was 500 vs 1000 (gold vs silver) but I guess I better go check! sm
As for policy levels, yes, you can get coverage as a single; as a couple; and self / family, with concurrent cost changes. Dental is great too.
Now, where did I put a copy of my BCBS plan... hmmm!
My line rate was better than any I've seen posted
before. I haven't been there long enough to get a raise, though I think someone asked this question last week and the answer was you do get raises.
it's been posted in the past that line counts are
pretty much set differently from one MTSO to another.
Problem is, clients cannot prove their counting systems no more than we can.
Regulation is in the future, unfortunately, that might hurt us.
Me 2. Had a short downtime yesterday, too. But did get my lines in. Gonna take a shower and check
xx
You need a 2nd line and Cphone to work for them. 800 lpd is PT production. Someone posted a

And MS-FL uses it, too. I thought the line count....sm
was WAY too low, but depends on what is counted. Check that ALL characters are counted. I finally quit them - line count way low, then payroll didn't know how to use adding machine correctly!
Excuse me, but yes she did. The OP's very last line posted by anony asks "do they pay spaces?&
Someone probably needs more coffee this morning but it isn't me. All I did was make a simple comment and this is what I get. It's no wonder a lot of us don't post more often as we get flamed for everything we say.
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!
Can you check your line count (sm)
are you paid for headers/footers on your account?
How can we check our line counts
I have asked for a way to determine what my line count is for every chart, and I still don't know how they're determined. I have a much lower line count than with my last company. How do you know the lines are being skimmed? How can we tell?
Really? I thought it sounded like a good line rate.

Thanks; that's what I thought. I do over 160 some days. I was feeling "slighted" line cou

AGREED I hate the thought of having to look all over again. I do like their line rate . .. nm
