11,000 lines per pay period. nm

12,000 lines per pay period
It's a pretty strict requirement for all full-time MTs to make their lines in order to remain full-time and keep benefits. Obviously, if there are valid circumstances that prevent you from making your 12,000 lines, they are very understanding. They will help everyone in any way they can.
20,000 lines a pay period would be wonderful.
I'm lucky to get 10,000 to 12,000.
12,000 lines per pay period to be considered SE...nm

12,000 lines/pay period not 1200
I'm sure it was a typo, and I'm not picking on anyone, but I just want to clarify that it is 12,000 lines per pay period that is required of an SE which is roughly 1200 lines a day.  Hope this helps! 
1200 lines/pay period?? nm

1200 lines a pay period

The requirement for direct deposit is 14,000 lines a pay period CONSISTENTLY, so in breaking it down over a 13-14 day period, a bit over 1,000 lines a day -- hope you can brush up on you math too

x number of lines per pay period. I have sm
insurance for myself and husband and it runs right at 200 a pay period but it is fantastic insurance. It has only gone up once since 2003 when I started working for Webmedx.
I manage to get almost 20,000 lines per pay period typing.
if you really must know.
Insurance way too high. 12,000 lines per pay period.
All they offer are the few days of PTO. That does not include sick days or personal days and if you take a holiday off you will also have to use PTO to get paid for it, only pay for holidays if you work um.

My friend told me that there is no way she will be able to make the minimum line requirement after being switched to a VA account. She also said that on a whole their accounts are lousy and QA is very inconsistent.


I think its 6000 lines per pay period and 20 hours.....but

Is there anyone working for Keystrokes that has not been able to get 12,000 lines per pay period? sm
If so, how is that handled by the company?
10,0001 lines per pay period for FT with benefits. nm

I'm fulltime IC, need to get 10,000 lines per pay period, believe parttimers need 5000 per pay
period.  They've been very flexible with me, as long as I get in the required lines by the end of the pay period.  We use DQS platform, which is user friendly, but I don't think it's as easy to get lines as on some of the other platforms, I think because of the way it counts them.  DSG is a good fit for me, always treated me fairly, pay is on time. 
Had you worked for them very long? How many lines were you averaging each pay period?
That is terrible.  I am so sorry to hear that.  Best of luck to you in your new job.
6000 lines per pay period (2-weeks) and 20 hours per week that is
Just clarifying.
Full time empoyee status only -- 1000 lines/day, 10,000 per pay period.

Blue Cross medical,Guardian dental, Spectera vision, 10,001 lines per pay period. sm
Cost per pay period for single coverage is $94.36, $1.68 vision, $7.06 dental.  Hope this helps.     
15,000 lines per pay period. 8 years with KS, 6 years on this account! nm
Not going anywhere else!
Hooray!
Congrats to you!  A similar thing happened to me recently.  I will be starting with benefits and a reasonable hourly rate at a hospital in my area.  I could not be happier.  No rip-off VR pay-rates, no more pay cuts, no more rip-off MT companies that treat us like dime-a-dozen unskilled labor.  I truly believe this is going to be a growing trend and is the key to saving our profession from those that just want to take advantage of us.  It is my hope that hospitals and clinics alike will recognize that both their costs and quality/privacy-control concerns can be greatly reduced by just having their own staff of MTs -- by not having to compromise and rely on MTSOs or even VR to cut their costs. I found that there are many clinics and hospitals hiring MTs, even in these bad economic times.
hooray for you!!!!
Finally someone said it! I just hope the person who always says READ THE BOARDS/ARCHIVES will knock it off already and preferably go away.
Hip-hip Hooray, finally
someone explains exactly what is happening at MQ even at ST.Louis office. They put so many people on the accounts, you get switched back and forth from account to account. It is feast or famine in a way. During my scheduled shift, which they asked for, there was no work. If I was willing to switch accounts daily and multiple, and sit on the computer and wait for work, I could make the line count, but I had to sit and wait and watch when the work was available. This was ridiculous.
typo, I type 1,200 a day or more. Yes I really do. Andrews grad. HOORAY!!!!
nm
Yep. Loving the new account that started today! Hooray TT!

You won't be hooray'ing abour speech for very long, because it will replace you

when the speech machine has learned all the doctors well and can interpret for them !  Just you wait and see.  Your job will be gone . . . bye, bye job.


part-time IC is 5000/pay period and full time IC is 10,000 per pay period. Need to talk with
recruiter about cpl, I'm sure it varies with experience. 
I got my invoice Thursday and sent it in Thursday. Guess you are special. Hip hip hooray. nm

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

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
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....
12K lines payperiod is 6K lines a week.
nm
0.8 x 1000 lines = $80.00 - 0.8 x 1500 lines = $120.

Well, you can tell it is the last day of the pay period.
:
16,000/pay period
This is for 2 weeks, correct? You are able to transcribe 8,000 line per week; I can only currently do 6,000
You can always tell the end of the pay period is near.
:
That would have been $73.53 less than MQ last pay period for me n/m

About $9/pay period or you can use yours

Per pay period?

PAY PERIOD
12,000 LINES PER PAY PERIOD OF 15 DAYS, NOT PER WEEK, AND THAT IS ABOUT RIGHT
