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

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

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

Ask what is a line. I was offered 6 clp for a 42 black character line sm
that seemed to strange, but really it was not so bad. Came out pretty close to a 65 k/s line at 8.5 to 9.
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?
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.

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.
I thought someone posted on here about 75 char line, and can't check lines...nm

The norm in the 80s was 4 cents per Gross Line, not 65 char with spaces. nm

They use MedRite software, only offered 7-8 cpl on a 70-char. line w/spaces. Supposed to offer
s
I emailed and asked. Said it was 65-character line with spaces or black and white.
clear as mud.
I would think that black and WHITE means they pay for both black characters and spaces.
There is no such thing as a white character. But I would definitely clarify this in your interview.
It's longer than the "standard" 65-char. line so will take you longer to make those lines!

I don't get paid by the line so don't know, sorry.

I'm paid by the line. nm
Wish I could help you but paid by the line
but the hours are definitely great - IC and great schedule. Good with the bad I guess?
Paid by the line
I am miserable because I'm paid by the line. I'm expected to provide constant feedback, yet I'm not paid extra for all of the feedback emails. I also wish I could find a good company that pays hourly, working any shift.
I get paid per line. They
finally answered me today and said there is a bug in iType and it duplicates reports and the count on iType will always be higher than what it really is. I guess it I continue working for them, I will have to keep track of each report and how many lines instead of just going by daily lines as I have been. I am working for another company now, though, that pays much better, so hopefully this will work out better! Waiting for the first check
You are paid by the line.
The MTs (most of them) are horrible. You are also expected to spend your time (no extra pay) providing management with detailed feedback on the errors so they can pass it along to the horrible MTs. I had to spend an eternity on each report due to the horrible dictators and the horrible MTs. I quit...not worth it at all.
I was also often without work. If you take a job with them you should also have a second job.
Could someone tell me what QA is usually paid per line. nm
Thanks
Paid by the word instead of the line...anyone?
Does anybody get paid by the word instead of by the line? What is the rate range anyway? Is this better than by the line?
Anyone get paid per line for QA? I was just offered
3.5 cpl to QA for a company. I have not heard of a being paid by the line for QA, so I dont know what a fair price per line would be. I get 7.5 cpl for ME but I think the difference might be QA do you the blanks and not listen to the whole report. Anyhow, I'm just trying to find out if anyone gets cents per line and how much is fair. Thanks!

They are paid by the line, not the hour. nm

No, QA is paid per line 3 or 4 cents

US MT's are paid so little per line that in order to
reports as possible, and the faster you go, the more junk is likely to be produced. I try to proofread everything I produce, but when my tenancy is on the chopping block and the rent is overdue, I type as fast as I can, don't proofread, and hope for the best. It's all about survival.
How do companies pay PTO when we are paid by the line.
Do they use an average of what you make most days and pay you that when you want your day off, or do they have a little bank of money that you can dip into when taking a vacation? Explain this to me please?
Being paid by the word versus line
I just got offered a job making $5.00 per 1,000 words. I have never been paid by the word. I hear I am getting ripped off bit time. Can somebody explain to me what the difference is getting paid by the word versus getting paid by the line? I am a new MT and want to make sure I am getting paid correctly. Thanks!
Transhealth rad-paid by report or by line? sm
Anyone know? Thinking about applying.
Or you're paid by the hour/not line
Or, you are paid by the hour/not line.
Not flaming, but wondering. How do you know you get paid for every line if you
nm
Well only if you get your own accounts or are paid gross line.
There is no way a transcription company will pay you that much. I have one of my own accounts too and make 12 cents per gross line, and I make around $50 per hour on average.
If you're paid by the line, and not for checking - sm
demographics, then the more time you spend checking demographics, the more you are working for free. A little bit of it is one thing, a lot of it is quite another.
You get paid for the whole line count in the report.
Only on QA do some companies (GRRR) pay for just a certain amount of lines or what you actually type in the blanks.
VR is the same line count as text reports - and the whole report. Hope this helps you. You might want to check with your company to confirm though, lots of weird stuff going on with some of them;-)
Went from hospital to company using DQS, line count has definitely went down, don't get paid for
demographics even if we have to enter them in. I've put a lot more abbrev in my Expander since switching over to DQS to help compensate.
Heck, no! Gross line would be a great way to get paid! nm

Futurenet AQ not paid by report any more? Going to line rate.
sucks
I think what she is saying is that if mgmt were paid by the line, they would understand our position
When you depend on your paycheck to pay the bills and it varies from week to week, it can really cost you if there is no work or low work volumes.
In 2006, you needed a Cphone & paid your own LD line to

Are you required to give feedback even though paid by the line?
If so, I encourage all QA folks to STOP taking these by the line QA positions when you are required to spend your time providing feedback for which you are not paid. Every company that does this is cheating you. And there is absolutely no way I would QA on DQS/QASAR while being paid by the line. Rip off.
I believe they mean that you have to make $900 per PP to be full time, still paid by line
