Line requirement

Line requirement

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

What is the line requirement for them for full time?
Line requirement is 11,000 per pay period. sm

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!

Line count requirement

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. 


Yes, partially, if a line requirement is met per PP.

What is your minimum line requirement for FT?
Just curious what all is out there....thanks.
If you are entry level, what is the line requirement.

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.


Any companies with a daily line requirement of 800?
I'm serious. Are there any companies IC or employee with a daily line requirement of around 800 or so? I seriously lose concentration after that but I love to transcribe.
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!
line count requirement at Webmedx

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


What is their daily line count requirement? nm

rate and line count requirement
So you know the rate for single coverage and the line count requirement to be eligible for coverage? Do they have dental also?

Thanks---Sue
I am on my "final warning" for not making line requirement.
if my line requirement is not met.
So, you need mandatory overtime to reach your line requirement, huh? LOL
Gotcha!
Anyone know what is the full time line requirement per week? nm
Thanks.
Hourly rate PT hours & fewer line requirement
Title means nothing at my company. All I do is assign work.
Stinks. If you state your line rate requirement, they vanish. (nm))

We are preparing to change to Clarity/line counts, rad. What is the requirement?
Spheris employee...
It absolutely is NOT a reasonable request for a minimum line requirement!

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.


TransTech line rate
The highest they start you at is 8.5 cpl. They tell you that the maximum they pay is 9 cpl. beware what account they put you on. If they are trying to sell you the shift that has Discharge Summaries, Progress Notes and Consultations, make sure that you get Ops and radiology as they come available. Otherwise, the cream will be done by the good-ole-girls and you will be stuck with the ESLs and make 1/2 of what you should.
Line requirements at TransTech
What are the line requirements at TransTech? Is there a time clock to punch in and out? How long do they give you to get up to production? What if you can't get your line in during the 8 hour time frame? Can you log in off hours and get them in?  TIA!!
TransTech Line Counts

I thought it was necessary to follow up the posts regarding line counts.  This was explained in detail yesterday from the company.  It just goes to show that questions such as these should be directed to the office rather than complaints issued here.  I think it tends to create a negative view of a company undeserving of such. 


Just wanted to clarify.  They really are 1 in a million. 


 


Transtech line counts
There is a 25-30% difference between what the Word counter and what Dictaphone says.  It's a difference NOT to our advantage.  Keep track; you'll see.
TransTech line counts
No, it has not been resolved. At least not for my account. It's sometimes as much as one whole day behind. Very frustrating!
making line count with TransTech?sm
I notice they require 11,000 minimum..that's about double what I normally do. Is it easy enough to get to that minimum in 60 days' time?
tell me how you verify your line count with TransTech
I had that problem as well and I was not anonymous about it and I came here and was called a liar and was told I was paranoid. I eventually found employment elsewhere and they also use Ex-Text and I-Chart. I was told by them that I would be paid on a 65-character line that includes black characters, spaces, and hard returns but no headers or footers which was the exact same thing I was told by TransTech. On the whole right now I am making less cents per line but my paychecks are bigger with them because unlike Transtech I am actually paid on a 65-character line that includes black characters, spaces, and hard returns but no headers or footers; and this is a true story.
there were line count issues with Transtech
And there are still some issues with the line counts in that we never got the new system that Transtech said that were getting a year ago.
Line counting system TransTech

Has anyone noticed changes in line counting.  I work in EXText.  As I recall, it used to be if I typed/edited 1600 lines (as counted by EXText), it would then show up as approximately 1400 lines in Ichart, losing about 200 lines.  Now I am showing approximately a loss of 225 in the above-listed scenario.  Maybe I am remembering incorrectly?? 


Anyone else notice any recent changes?


Has TransTech's line counting issue been resolved yet?
But I remember this was a big issue a while back.  Any info appreciated. 
TransTech does - Hourly in addition to line rate

Any TransTech'ers have new info on new line-count

TransTech accounts are ALL very quickly going to VR and pay is half line rate

If you like VR and the pay cut, then TT will be a good fit for you.  If you are experienced and will let someone pay you less than you are worth, then go for it.


Other than accounts going to VR there and MT pay cut for editing VR reports, TT has been a good fit for me.  I am very disappointed in the recent VR pay cuts.


They are changing platforms and cutting our line rate in half as the accounts go live with VR.


Transtech no work situation putting me in the Salvation Army food line?

This is utterly ridiculous -- NO WORK/LOW WORK.  It is not even the holidays yet.  D. giving the title of an email Census does not make that the reason for the low/no work situation at Transtech!  There are other reasons OTHER THAN CENSUS.  That is so sickening all the time.  The greatest need of us MT's is honesty from their employer --- from the very beginning of employment to the end!


Even a child could see through their excuses for NO WORK. 


Exactly and the CMT should be a requirement
to practice! That has been proven by the absolutely atrocious quality of MT'ing today. Trust me, I have been a recruiter, a mentor/trainer, a supervisor and QA, I've seen it all and it ain't pretty.
IS THERE A MINIMAL REQUIREMENT?

and do they give you the equipment to use?


The only requirement of a recruiter

is to get bodies in the door.  Some are honest and some aren't.  If you have a bad gut feeling then you need to go with that.  My experience has been that the ones who are good recruiters have all the answers on the fly; if not, they can put you on hold to get the answer, or get back soon.


Of course you may have gotten a recruiter who just started and you are asking questions no one had given her/him answers for.  Geez, the percentage of retention for the past year?  That's an arbitrary question in any event due to a number of different factors and one I wouldn't even ask.  I know my skill set so for me it's just knowing if they have a system I can make money on and if there is sufficient work to make money.


Weekend requirement
Is any two weekend days per month. Friday PM shift also counts as a weekend.
The reason for this requirement is....sm
the speed and success of transferring voice files over a dialup ISP usually cause a lot of problems and take a person at least 2 x as long to download a file, most commonly 3 times as long.


Do you have satellite ISP availability?


Alltype - New MT requirement) sm

I tested, had recruiter interview, given install date and emailed the paper work which included Appendix G provide and maintain Professional Liability Insurance, required by law.


When I asked about this, was told, part of renters or home owners insurance for PC.  But when I called around, insurance companies -- said no, &  puzzled by this requirement.  I asked well how would the company benefit, they said, I don't know.  In the event of loss, they pay to me, not the employing company. 


Anybody run into to this job requirement before with them or others??


The full time requirement is (sm)
1000 lpd. Not sure about part time. I am on the new ortho account that just started. I just started so cannot really answer the next question, but they seem to give you a primary and leave it at that. They do like to cross train, which everyone does. They send a foot pedal, but you get online with the tech person to download the software. It is very user friendly and the best I have ever worked on!!
again, no physical requirement at diskriter
but hospital employees still have to have a physical, pretty extensive one too - - I used to be one but got out of that employee status, prefer the Diskriter employee status, believe you can get both there though whichever floats your boat
If IM is an employer requirement, just load it and put on your..

Experience requirement for Keystrokes

I am just a few months shy of 3 years experience.  Does anyone know if it is worth it for me to apply?  


what is their daily lines requirement
I use to work for Spheris which I loved I just got tired of working the Sa-Tu for two years and they would not change from schedule. 
as a minimal requirement:? That's ridiculous

Every company has a minimal requirement.
Besides, radiology lines add up a lot faster than regular transcription.
