It kinda sounds like problems on both sides to me.
Not a good thing. Hope you get paid and the correct amount. Labor Board
The company DOES have a way to figure out how many lines you did FOR SURE. Really think they don't and would depend on the MT for the count. They have all sorts of ways to manipulate the count too.

0.8 x 1000 lines = $80.00 - 0.8 x 1500 lines = $120.
1000 LINES PER DAY
How long does it take to do 1000 lines per day for a mix of dictators for acute care. Thanks
1000 lines a day. nm

I had over 1000 lines my first day
Still going up as I build my Expanders and get used to the docs.
I produce around 1000 lines per day...
I have seen my production increase quite a lot in the last four months. When I first started I could only get about 500 lines a day...so I get a little more every day. :-)
Do you have enough work? 1000 lines a day?
I have read on some of the threads that there is not enough work to keep everyone busy.
at 80+ reports a day, you are getting more than 1000 lines in

eTransPlus is 1000 lines per day. nm
1000 lines in eight hours??
If a person types that slow then obviously being an MT may not be for them! I type around 300 LPH and that averages up to a lot more than 7 bucks an hour.
If you can't make 1000 lines in 8 hours,
in the wrong profession.
1000 lines discrepancy needs to be fixed.

Must be a small company. 1000 lines/day is not that impressive. nm

For companies that hire FT 1000-1200 lines, what happens when
Due to low work or a particularly bad day maybe in which you struggled with difficult physicians? I am an IC so never had to deal with how many lines to get in a day or having to keep up with a certain quota. I am not particularly interested in any insurance or anything but perhaps PTO and 401k, so taking a look around and trying to figure it all out. Thanks MTs!
7 cent a line $8.75 hr (1000 lines 8 hr=$70) TERRIBLE nm

I'm about 300 lines short daily. I've had some
dictators that were absolutely horrendous and the my reports come back from QA with blanks too, but then I have some really good dictators. The changes are driving me crazy. I wish they could explain things one time in a way that the MTs could understand. I'm sure there are more changes to come, though they have had at least part of the account for a long time so I don't understand all the changes now.
Me 2. Had a short downtime yesterday, too. But did get my lines in. Gonna take a shower and check
xx
Prior complaints of low work loads and only short reports, so struggle to get lines. How about

My goodness, how much help did you need SM
where you would have to keep evidence, as you say? Are you someone who needs your hand held throughout the shift? If so, better work in-house because the at-home deal isn't for you.
You have to work INDEPENDENTLY. That is what a lot of people don't seem to understand. If you really have no ability to go through the material you have received and figure it out using common sense, I don't know what to tell you.
Well, thank goodness for that because
you wont be able to meet production on their platform and lack of work!!
Oh my goodness, I too would like to know what co that is.
email me if you want to share :)
Oh my goodness!!! Thank you so much!
Oh my goodness....
I am absolutely AMAZED at those figures.
I know by the time I started things were already way down from where they used to be, because I know it was fairly common to start at 14+ cpl. Since I've started, my pay has decreased an amazing amount...which is really, really sucky.
I keep hoping it will get better. Funny thing is, when I think I should get out of this business and wonder what I should do...I always think....hmmm, what could I do to make 100K/year. So, you've just completely blown me away that you actually DID make that AS AN MT!! Kudos to you:-)
thank goodness
your work on everything
My goodness
That was uncalled for. Who are you angry at? MTs who are successful or yourself for not being motivated enough to work at home? There are lots of people who need the structure of in-house or need a supervisor breathing down their neck to make them work. MTing is not cut out for everyone.
BTW, a good MT does not have to be glued to their work 24/7 and therefore has time to surf the net or do anything we please!
My goodness!
It just amazes me how negative this board can be. I am a partner with Superior, yes. I have my OWN clients as well (have for years & years). I do not work with Focus. There are many people who do not wish to work with these larger companies directly. I do the best I can to supply work to this industries. Those of you that do not like it, I'm sorry! I cannot please everyone, but those of you that do work with me know that I'm fair, honest, and will do whatever I can for my team. I have not always done this. I have been with Superior since the end of 2008. So, maybe you should get your information straight before you post things like this. It really saddens me to see such horrible attitudes on this board when all I'm trying to do is provide work to this industry. I do not see what is so wrong with that. If you think the pay rate is too low, then do not look at my job ads.
Oh, goodness...
Here we go again with the TTD drama. Everyone here is adult enough to know what they are willing to take and what they aren't. Why continue trying to babysit people? 
Oh, my goodness.....
NM
Thank goodness!!!
I thought that I was the one that was going crazy and trust me, these days that is a great possibility!  
thank goodness...
that people are finally starting to see the light about this company. when the editors took the hit, a lot of the MTs didn't seem to believe what they were saying. We knew it was just a matter of time before the truth came to light.
one of the things that really amazed me about those folks is that they seemed to believe that we didn't talk amongst ourselves, so their dirty deeds could be kept a secret until they were screwing everyone.
surprise. word's out.
Thank goodness
Plenty of work, new accounts and new work types on the old accounts. So glad I didn't quit when work was low. My family helped me out because I told them I had faith in TT.
LET IT GO FOR GOODNESS SAKE
nm
Looks like they pay more at MQ for goodness sake.
Pretty sad.
Thank goodness for these forums!
You're right, they are not the only ones; but my experience was opposite. More work that a person should be expected to do in one day, worked 14 to 16 hours. Did not have a choice, had to clear out my que each and every day. And THEN came the battle of the paycheck! They, Panhandle, still owe me my last one from over a year ago!
Again, thanks so much for all of the posts on these forums. I always check here first (don't post much tho) to research a company. I did submit my resume to Sten-Tel, but thanks to your posts, I'll never apply or accept a position with them.
Oh my goodness! Did this really happen?? nm

Thank goodness - I was beginning
to believe this was a company from hell - according to the other posts.
Oh my goodness! I have to admit that I
honestly am flabbergasted at all the praises TT gets. Its actually so wonderful, yet I admit that I have had my doubts in the past as well, as it is just so completely unheard of in our industry anymore to have a company that is great to work for. I admit, I'm jealous. Though hopefully I can turn my jealousy into a positive and actually push myself to apply for a position with TT. I have thought this over the last few weeks, and then talk myself out of it because I figure its too late - all the positions must be filled. See what spending a lifetime working for a cold huge national can do to one's self-esteem? I need to make changes in 2007, and applying at TT is on the very top of the list! I think I would burst into a river of tears if I even got a card, let alone a gift - anything. I have devoted nearly 20 years to one company, and expect nothing, absolutely nothing. Its sad, isn't it?
Oh, goodness. We WANT MTSOs and others to
This way open dialogue continues.
If we shut this place up to ONLY having MTs here ... we'll never get any information in/out!
You don't have to like anyone else's posts.
Thank goodness! Someone agrees with me!
Hooray!!!!!! Someone agrees. IC's do not work set schedules. Hello????? IC's set their own hours to work. I have been saying this all along. Companies can get into trouble. They could actually be held responsible for withholding prior taxes for as many years as they have been making you work set hours. 
Thank goodness someone other than me caught that!
nm
For goodness sake!
This is whining now, ridiculous.
Goodness, I hope not
Once upon a time, I got a 97 point something or other on a quality review. I was devestated and terribly hard on myself. I have never had a score like that since, thank the Lord.
I seriously do not think they would let you go because of one review under 98%. I do believe this company to be very professional and really do think they would first talk to you about maybe slowing down, giving you tips on better quality rather than just saying well you messed up once, you're outta here.
Please let us know how you make out. :)
Thank goodness, but it's not your fault..
my company has been extremely low too for much longer than the usual seasonal times that occur, keep getting the same just wait, work will pick up emails. Good luck!
Goodness is you work there why not just ask them?
Thank goodness you're NOT
a business owner. On the one hand, you say you wouldn't give employees free money for doing nothing, and then you advise to build up PTO, which is the same thing. LOL!
And FYI, most other careers do have holidays off and plenty of PTO, it's not just a wonderful fairyland daydream.
My goodness, see how others feel about this
I do the majority of work on Escription and love it. I do not know why you only make 7.00/hr some days but that is just plain insane. I can make almost 3x that much per hour using version 8- you must not be using your time wisely.
Oh my goodness $1.00 a page sm
that is terrible. I made $1.00 a page starting for Transcriptions Limited in 1983!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Goodness! You'd think it was Friday--sm
today what with every body biting each other's heads off and getting all *snarky* over things that don't really matter. Get a grip you all, have a cold one, and mellow out! geez. some of Y'all are just LOOKIN' for an argument and if you can't get one going, you'll start one! sick *o this stuff. I think most of the people in this thread need a good long ol* fashioned *time out* in the corner!
thank goodness I don't have a life...
...so I can do that. If I was active and involved in things, I'd be stuck working my schedule only -- and probably not meeting my minimum requirements. That's pretty sad.
Oh, for goodness sakes! sm
I was not criticizing you for making an omelet. The original poster was complaining about having no work. If I was sitting around with no work, I would find another job, that's what I said. I was in that situation with my former company, found another job. It does no good to complain here about no work, might as well spend the time looking for another job or making omelets if that is what you choose to do. I know we are allowed to take time to eat, but we do not get paid for that time. That's why I end up eating at my desk :)
