Are you required to type 2400 lines in eight hours? Only
aa
Companies that require ONLY lines - not certain hours, preferably internet sm
based and part time. TIA
Only require 400 lines completed within 24 hours....good company...

Can anyone tell me the required amount of hours/lines for part time per week for Focus? nm

Anyone know what full time is at Transtech? Lines or hours? Do they flex schedule? nm

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
You are required to work your schedule, even
if you get your lines in. OT is paid at the standard 1-1/2 times your rate, but you don't get OT for typing over 1200 lines a day, unless you do the lines outside your normal schedule. If you are scheduled to work 9 to 5 whatever lines you do are at your line rate. If you work before 9 or after 5 those lines will be paid at 1-1/2 times your rate, so if you make 10 cpl, then OT will be 15 cpl. Also there is a shift differential. I'm not sure the exact hours are per shift, but if you work anything other than first shift there is a differential. Third shift pays a higher differential than second.
They also pay for downtime, so if the servers are down or there is a lack of work (which we have been on OT for months), then you keep track of your time and they pay an hourly rate. If you are a productive MT you would make more money typing, but at least it is something. You aren't required to make up lines outside your shift either.
Yes, IC but required to commit to a schedule. sm
These are not IC positions and the IRS knows. Their reward for breaking the law and cheating both the Transcriptionist and the IRS is coming.
which companies that don't require a set schedule? nm

I'm looking for a company that doesn't require a schedule......
I know - does that even exist anymore? I currently work when I want, just comitting to certain number of lines in a pay period. Are there any companies that allow us to do that anymore? I'm thinking it's time for a change.
I agree they have WAY over hired, but I am required to work my schedule..you got it made then!
You will be required to work set hours.
:
Well, I have a biz phone and biz hours that I am required to keep.
Your situation obviously is different than mine.
Required hours for IC work~~curious
I keep seeing ads where you are required to submit a schedule and work scheduled hours for IC positions. Is this legal? I thought that was an IRS requirement of independent contractors that you do your work on your own time. Am I wrong? It seems like the industry is headed in this direction. Companies don't want to hire employees and don't want to pay taxes either.. I guess I can understand that, but I am not sure how they can get away with it.
Thank you. Then TT has right to require set hours

Cannot require you set hours, but also
do not have to give you work during the hours you want.
How many hours does MQ require for PT?
Is there a minimum line requirement plus minimum hour requirement per week? Thanks!
FutureNet part time - how many hours required? (sm)
I understand they have a high percentage of ESL, willing to do that for flexibility and less than 20 hours per week PT. I would love just 8-10. Anyone know if it is worthwhile contacting Futurenet or know any others that hire limited hours PT?
Companies who do not require set hours?
I am in need of an IC position that does not require set hours. I am presently working for a company that I told I would be on line anywhere between 3 p.m. and 11 p.m., but that was unacceptable, they wanted set hours. So I gave 8 p.m to 12 p.m. but I am not able to comply with that every day. There are some days I would like to start earlier, and some days start later. I would think if I gave them a set line limit that I would be accountable for that that would be acceptable, evidently not though. Any companies out there hiring that has a 24-hour timeframe? 
Yes it does, but 35 hours a week is all that is required to be full time and get bennies.

checkout First Choice, they don't require hours
they have you pick days and on the days you work they want you to take at least 45 minutes of dictation
Do all MTSOs require 39+ hours to qualify for
nm
Oh, yeah, NOT fair to those TransTech MT's who are REQUIRED to work a certain # of hours per mont
on weekends! Tell us how you managed to talk TT mgmt into that favor for you! Oh, no, another TT fav !!!
Does Axolotl require 40 hours for full time
Also, what is the average most MTs type in a pay period? I know 12,000 is the minimum, but is it possible to type quite a bit more than that with their platform? THANKS!
Thanks so much. How many lines are required for full time? nm

Silent - how many lines required per page
I forgot to ask how many lines are on one page with them. Are there any suggestions needed to know ahead of time?
Been working almost 2 months now and almost at required lines. (sm)
Taking me longer to get used to program than I had anticipated. I know we have 90 days to actually make the grade, but am getting slightly worried. No one has called me on it, but I am sooo nervous. I am not a newbie, but maybe I am getting too old to learn new programs/etc.
Of course, checking the boards while I am working is not exactly helping me. I realize that and am only doing so on breaks now. Any helpful hints?
How do you get your required lines if there was no work at DSG or Keystrokes. Is
that a problem with them if there is no work or what do you do. Thanks!
Do we need to schedule those hours through STM or just let her know we are increasing or (sm)
is there a chance too many are adding hours and they have to tell some of us No thanks. I can't imagine they would do that as nice as they have been about everything else. But I came from Medquist, so anything is possible in my book.
They have the accounts set up so that we can BARELY get our minimum lines required in.
If I want to camp out for 15 hours a day as I wait for work to trickle in I can make more. :-(
They require 1150 lines per day
How many lines were required when you worked there? Why did it take you more than 8 hours to do 1150 lines?
Does anyone know the minimum lines required part time for Amphion? Thanks. nm
n
Make sure you ask what the required lines per day is. Could be 1200-1800 or higher. nm
s
Does OSi really require the 185 lines per hour that they ask for on their website? nm
x
pretty sure they require 1200 lines/pay pd for SE (nm)

SGS require 2400 daily lines?
Does anyone know if it is true that Superior Global Solutions out of Texas requires 2400 daily lines to qualify for full time and receive benefits? If so, is there enough work to actually make that many daily lines? Are they a good company to work for? Thanks in advance, all responses appreciated.

Who here is required to type 1800 lines on a daily basis for FT work?

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.
Yes, they added a tiny bit to the benefits, but now require 12,000 lines.
That was a low blow!!! It is almost impossible to get 10,000 lines on those nasty VA accounts and now they are requiring more. I will be looking for a new home. This sucks!!!
Acute and/or clinic work? Set schedule or flexible hours? Thank you! nm
Question about lines and schedule ...
If I get my lines done before the number of hours I am scheduled to work, do I have to finish my hours? Can I just stop working at that point?
T-C - full-time is 1000 lpd along with a "rough estimate" schedule of what hours you'll wor
It's pretty nice.
MDI-MD has SE status, commited lines/day, and own schedule
x
That is *.11 for all lines typed* when working agreed-upon schedule.
Making less per line is not a raise.
Question about SoftScript. Strict schedule, can you quit when you get your lines? (sm)
I saw a posting before that said you were good to go as long as you signed in on time and did your lines. Is this accurate?
Also, I have seen they are offering 7 cents per line regardless of experience. Is this still true?

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
