Line counts - the lower the line count requirements
the harder the account and problems with trying to get production off the platform the company uses.
line requirements
They have three skill levels and a different rate of pay within each level based on your quarterly reviews. Line counts required when I hired in: 3000 lines per wk part time and 6000 full time per wk.
What are the line requirements for TT?? nm

MDI-MD line requirements
You specify the number of lines you plan to do. I think there is someone on our team who does 250 lines/day. Whatever number of lines you commit to will help determine what account you would be on, I think.
MDI again. What are their line requirements?

Line requirements, cpl, etc. sm
may not be good indicators of what you will be paid at certain companies. I have worked for several companies in the past, large nationals as well as smaller MTSOs, and it has been my experience that if they have rotten platform or if their dictators are awful, it is not going to matter what your requirements are...you just won't make money.

Take a look on the job board. Most companies post what their requirements are related to lines per pay period, etc.

Unfortunately sometimes you have to kiss a lot of toads until you find your Prince Charming!
Line requirements
I'm supposed to set up for a phone interview next week to talk about employment and my experience so I'm not sure on the pay scale yet since they told me that they can't tell me over email, but they said line requirements is 10,000 lines every 2 weeks for full-time and 5,100 lines every 2 weeks for part-time.  I'm hoping the pay is at least decent, I know people are pitching a fit about what most everyone is paying right now, but honestly we just need some extra money coming in for my family because my husband's pretty much been laid off since Thanksgiving and I'm only makin just over $14/hr at my current transcription job which isn't enough to keep us afloat much longer!
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!!

Help with company's and line requirements??
Any good companies out there with employee status and benefits who do not require a tremendous daily/weekly line count requirement? Thanks for any input! 
What are the line requirements for fulltime at
Also, the cost of their family insurance? 
What are their minimum line requirements
available for family members as well as the employee? They sound like a great place.
Why is it that OSI's line count requirements

Doesn't seem to be right.  That's only 1000 lines per day. Most places are 1100 and up. 


IC companies line requirements

Hi,


Stat-IQ Solutions has a 2500-3000 line per week requirement - work when you want without a committed schedule.  I worked for them a year ago before I went full time with my current employer.  They are hiring - see MTjobs.com.


Can you share what the daily line requirements are?
and maybe the insurance rates? TIA
Part-time line requirements
I am an IC thinking of changing to a larger national part time as an employee. But as an IC, I have no idea how the line requirments work? If I am a part-time employee working 20 hours a week and I don't meet my line requirements, am I allowed to work extra hours?  
Line requirements, production incentives

Is it typical for decreased pay for not meeting line requirements? sm

I know every company is different but has anyone had their pay rate decreased for failure to meet line requirements?  I have heard of taking away benefits, etc. before but never heard of decreased pay rates for IC because of this nor have I ever heard of the pay rate being different for full time versus part timers within the same company.  I have health issues causing my lack of meeting line requirements.  It isn't because I just don't want to work.  I guess this is just another tactic to take money out of our pockets and into theirs like the pay rate isn't low enough already.  Geez by the time I cover my expenses as an IC, I doubt I come out with anything anyway.  I might as well just work for free for the government to donate all my money overseas! 


Has anyone ever figured out how much difference is needed in pay between IC and employee to cover average expenses related to the job?  I know standard is 1 cent usually and that does not cover my expenses. 


As I have stated repeatedly, although very unfair, leads have line counts too.
nm
I work on that account, NO problems with line counts or the requirements! sm

I have heard of putting the entire team on QA, I have had it happen before.  I got released back after 24 hrs because I was fine.


There are issues with a couple of things on that account.  It will likely come down to some of the MTs not being allowed to work on that account any longer, which leaves more work for the rest of us.  The communication about the issues they are now addressing with 100% QA for all of us have been thorough and when I have not understood something I have asked for clarification.  I have one concern that I feel certain they will call me on and that is fine because I can alter my ways and make sure it is right.


I don't know what is wrong with some of you. I suppose there are MTs who don't believe in doing the job 110%.  If you are productive AND accurate, you can make very good money at TT, I certainly do. If you think the pay is low, move on...if you are good enough to find another job.  TT is a CHOICE for me because when I was looking last fall, I had no fewer than 10 offers and entertained them all, but went to work for TT because I felt I would be happy there.  No surprise to me, I am extremely happy. 


The 100% QA is not something I am taking personally because it would seem to me that the only way to address the issues at hand is to do this very thing.


Leads with ANY company NEVER run out of work; that is why the MT's do, because leads pick and cho
for themselves!  TT has so many leads it makes me sick!  We have absolutely no work, but I know those leads and QA are picking out plenty of work that they like to do !!!  FACT !!!
MDI-MD: What are daily line requirements for full-time/part-time? Thanks! nm
nm
So you are saying that QAs & leads
I am a top notch MT too and was still asked to QA BECAUSE I am a -valuable- MT. Get over yourself.
job leads
This may be weird but I keep a list of companies in a favorites folder to check out if I find myself looking in the future. Going through MT Stars for old posts is a good place to start. Then I would check the company out on their web site, and if I thought I was interested I would either call the recruiter or test depending on their requirements. Personally I would not wait for a company to advertise before applying.
Job leads
Here's a few links to aid in your searching. I've heard a lot of people have gotten/accepted jobs from applications they put in long ago.

MQ MTs: What is the SE or IC requirements?

Is the part-time SE/IC 4,000 lines in a pay? 


 


Thanks.


SE requirements at FN

They're actually saying 14,000 per pay period, not 1400; but no, I have no idea why they're saying that.  I work for FN as an SE, and the requirement is 12,000 per pay period, and pay periods are every 2 weeks.  You're not expected to work every single day, so if you figure 2 days off a week, that means you have to do 12,000 lines over 10 days or 1200 lines a day.  If that seems like a lot to comit to until your little one starts kindergarten, then I think starting as an IC may be the best way to go.  That way you can get into a comfort zone, and once you're cruising, then you could decide if you wanted to go SE or not. 


Another FN employee told me the $25 charge for having your check overnighted to you is a tax writeoff.  I don't know if that's true or not, but I never opted to do it.  Just wasn't worth it to me, and my check arrived in a very timely fashion.


Requirements
It is difficult because you either have server issues, internet issues at their end or NO WORK. It is almost impossible to get the requirements in 8 hours.
MDI-MD requirements
PT requires 3500 week/700 day. Do you have to do 700 a day, or do you just have to do 3500 per week? In other words, can you do 500 x 5 days and 1000 x 1 day? or some other combination adding up to 3500?
Requirements to be an IC
They require you to be a small business owner and have errors and omission insurance. Per other internet postings, so not verified fact.
leads/bosses

Hi, Thanks for your input. I did get a chance to read it before the deletion. I am searching again __________. I really wish I could find a place, where the pay is decent, with benefits, enough work and where the staff responds to account related questions. I am so tired of testing, thinking I have found the perfect place and then....................... Sorry just needed to vent a little.


Have a good Day!


Why do KS mgrs and Leads do this?
Why do you guys insist on coming to this board in an attempt to defend what idiots type? Then you have the gall to post 'KS MGR' or 'KS LEAD'. Your posts just make you look dumb and seem quite unprofessional when you do this. When you identify yourself as a KS MGR or KS LEAD, whatever you post reflects on the company as a whole. You stated 'you need to stop spreading lies'...is there not a better way to say this? Ignore the trolls. I doubt very seriously that people who are interested in KS will be swayed by these posts.

If you insist on posting remarks to defend KS, don't make it known that you are a KS MGR or KS LEAD. Sheesh!
OSI team leads don't do QA at all
All we do is monitor workflow and assign jobs when the coordinator is off - I get $14 for a few hours a week and then do transcription for a line rate. Line requirement is less than regular MT's.

Not a bad setup for us.
It's so they can hire even MORE leads, CEO's
for some reason that top-heavy management is good management.
With the exception of the Leads SM
Always seem to have plenty of work when work load is light/low.  Pretty unfair advantage, if you ask me. 
The requirements to be met for performance are:
1. Minimum of 100 lines per hour, or regular full time 150 lines per hour. Radiology is 8 reports per hour or 12 for full time.
2. Quality Assurance Plan standard (I believe that means QC percentage).
3. Work the schedule that has been agreed upon.
BUT under the compensation plan it says you are paid by the line. Again the line versus the hours. You see how they incorporate both and make it perfectly legit. I don't get how they can get away with it.
what are the requirements to become a recuriter ?
How do you become a recruiter? Is there a requirement as to how many years of being a medical Transcriptionist to be considered for a recruiter position ? Not being disrespectful, just very curious.
Experience requirements

I am 2 months off from transcribing for 3 years....and I was turned down from a position because I didn't have the 3 years required experience.  What am I going to learn in the next 2 months that will qualify me?  My quality reviews have been exceptional since I was a newbie.  I guess I will re-apply in 2 months.  *sigh*


My other gripe is - nearly 4 years ago when I started MT schooling and everything there were job openings for 1-2 years experience with decent pay.  Now that I am gaining experience...experience requirements are 5+ years and start you out at 6.5 cents per line and cap at 7.5-8 cents per line for acute care?????  


I'm just a little worried about what I am in store for when I hit 5 years experience now as well. 


Just having a rough morning and needed to vent.


What are the requirements of the externship?
 I might can help.  nm
All Type Requirements
All Type states they require Windows XP.  Does anyone know if their system is compatible with Windows Vista?
Re: FT requirements at Transcend

Sorry for jumping in here, but I just wanted to note that in addition to meeting the $900 gross average per pay period once you've been with Transcend for 90-days, you must also be working at least 35 hours/week in order to be considered full-time.  FT status gets you access to our health benefits (BCBS medical, MetLife dental, and EyeMed vision), Paid Time Off program, and company-matched 401k (although this benefit is also available for part-time employees).

Requirements at Keystrokes
I have read the posts on here concerning Keystrokes, which seem mostly positive.  I have applied there and am wondering if anyone can tell me how long the application process usually takes (when do I forget about it), do they have any accounts done on high-speed internet rather than C-phone, do you have to buy all your own equpiment including foot pedal, what type of insurance coverage do they offer with what company, and what hours/lines are required for full-time and part-time.  Thanks for any info.
not sure what happened but this is down under Eliminated Leads below.. nm
nm
Correct...my team still has leads. sm
The truth is, most of the team leads were eliminated because they WEREN'T an asset to the teams. Many of them got the job because they were the only ones who applied. Many were not confident in site formats and rules, giving incorrect information on team mail, and many of them spent entirely too much time chatting with each other about their personal lives on team mail instead of editing. They were the cause of their own demise.
Now 1 AC and 2 team leads are leaving OSI
Not only the MT's but also 1 AC and 2 team leads are leaving OSI.  If you haven't applied elsewhere time is running out before the good jobs are gone.  The only person who will be left when it is all said and done will be the QA manager who will never go anywhere else not only because she is attached at the hip with the great policy makers but also because she couldn't get a job elsewhere if she tried.  After all you have to actually pass the transcription test. 
I would, except the tone of some of your posts leads me to believe
?
Which leads? I asked my TL and she knew nothing of this. sm
But, leave it to MW to pave the way of utter cheapness.
Any Cardioscribe team leads here?
If so, please email me or post here. Just wanting to know if the hourly rate is fair and would like to hear what you think about your job.
Yea and what's the deal with getting rid of the team leads?

They still have Indian team leads.

Nope, I was called by my former Indian team lead in the begining of this week asking if I could come back to work for them. 


That being said, I had no problems with any of the team leads being Indian, was able to understand them and they were friendly.  My only problem was that before everybody left after being told they had to go employee, there was no work.  It could take all 3 shifts to get enough work for even part-time work on some days and we were told they would not pay down time if we didn't have work so a lot of my scheduled shift as an employee could be sitting refreshing queue without being paid for that time. 


I know that right now, there is pleanty of work but they are more than likely going to overhire.  They don't like work in queue at all.  If there are any reports sitting in queue on the weekend they want you working and threaten to hire more people, thereby taking work away from you.  I was shocked when I changed companies and found how much work stays in queue for my current account, very rarely running out and when I do I have a secondary and a tertiary acct.  Up until now I was always told by Focus that they couldn't do that so when I was out, I was out.  And, my QA is always excellent so it is not my quality that keeps the work from me. 


All of your team leads are India
