What I meant to post, 6,000 lines/two weeks for a part timer, 12,000 lines/two weeks for a full time worker, whether you are statutory or employee

You keep a time sheet and turn it in every 2 weeks.  I am not sure as to how much time you are given to get up to speed, but they are a great bunch of people and seem to be very understanding and caring.  I am sure they would work with you if you were having problems.  And yes, you can make up your time if you are missing some hours.  Hope that helps. 

Good luck!

What is Future Net's line count requirement per pay period for PT and FT? 

INMT 

There are different pay levels.  To stay at the top level, you need to do 200 lph minimum.  P.S.  The web site is www.transolutions.net for more info. 

and how long will they give you to make that count.  Also can someone tell me what the pay will be for entry level.  I see they are hiring all the time and was interested.

Thanks.

Last week I trained on a my account,which is very large with many dicators.  Today is the end of my first full week of production and I am averaging 110 lph. The requirements are 150 lph.  My trainer said that studies show it takes an average of 30 days to get used to a new account and reach production.  Therefore, I have 2 more weeks to reach 150 lph,and I am worried.  My supervisor said to work towards goal, but I know line count is the bottom line.  Can any Webmedx MTs shed some light on what they have experienced.  Also, is it usually customary to give at least 90 days?  My quality is good;however, I really need to crank out the lines.  Thanks

We are not machines!  20 years ago when I started out, my first job had a requirement of 800 lines per day (8 hours), that's 100 lines an hour.  Five years later it was 1000 lines a day.  I think the standard right now is around 1200 lines a day.  Now, someone's asking for 1600 as a minimum!?!?!!? 

I'm not saying there aren't people out there that can meet and exceed 1600 in a day.  I'm simply saying making 1600 a minimum requirement is absurd and unfair.

Just wanted to hear from people who knew about them or had worked for them as to whether they are a good company to work for.

I have been in this a lot of years myself.  I am being paid the same LINE RATE was I was 11 years ago.  I had no benefits, paid my own taxes, supplied my own stuff to work with, including a pedal I had to purchase.

Today, I have health insurance, dental, vision, PTO and holiday pay, plus the company has to pay part of my taxes.  They supplied a pedal at no cost and I rent their computer for next to nothing and it is a lot better than mine anyway.  

I used to make $6-$7 and hour 11 years ago and I do more like $30 now, same line rate, but a faster computer, a better Expander and more knowledge. My income last year was 4 times what I made each of my first 3 years when I started a dozen years ago.   I also work fewer hours to accomplish all of this.

Why all the gloom and doom?  Benefits are NOT a gift from the company, we pay the entire premium whether the company takes it out of our paycheck or not.  WE MAKE ALL THE MONEY FOR AN MT COMPANY and we always have.  Benefits are NOT free!!!!  Think about it, my benefits equal about $500 a month that doesn't come out of my paycheck, but it is compensation.  That is 500% MORE compensation that I received 10 yrs ago.  I am keeping a great deal more of the money I help to generate for the company, whether it is in my nice benefits, a paid vacation or in my paycheck.

To me, the picture is rosy and good.  Not only is my income 4 times what it was when I started (that is quadrupled in 11 years), I no longer pay self-employment taxes, I will have my very first paid vacation since I have been an MT and I have health benefits for the first time since being an MT.  I don't have it showing on my pay stub, but I KEEP what is on that stub insteading of working 3 jobs to pay my IC taxes.  If I get sick or need surgery, I don't have to wonder how I'll pay for it, that is a given.  I don't panic if I get sick, I just use my card and see the doctor.  I can have my teeth put into better repair this spring too. 

I feel blessed that I have more work than I can do on any given day and I am well compensated and happy. 

Is anyone willing to share a good company that pays 12 to 15 cents per line?  I am so tired of having experience and no one wants to pay?  Thanks

Here's my situation.  I currently provide transcription for a clinic w/four docs.  My price hasn't changed for alomst 7 years.  I'm just curious what the going rate is per line?  I have to pick up microcassette tapes and deliver hard copies w/a 24 hour TAT.  Any info here would be greatly appreciated as I don't want to overcharge or be under paid!

Is the 9 cpl for straight typing and VR?  Usually VR is half, 3-5 cpl.  I would kill for 9 cpl on VR.  They contacted me also, and if this is what they pay for VR then I am testing asap!  Let me know please.  I love my FT job, but this would be a great PT gig.

Thanks,

Sue
