Are there any companies that do not require a quota? - Just wondering

Posted: Jan 20, 2010

I have 9 years' experience and can do about 150-180 lines an hour, but I hate having the feeling of I need to get to the particular quota and rushing myself along. I want to do a quality report and would rather work for a company who represents that. Anyone know of any companies out there like this? TIA.

I think every company demands at least a minimum, what is 150 lph..nm - .

I think every company wants a line count commitment for the day, or a time frame.....I don't know about minimum lines per hour - I'm at 376 lph and wish I could do more! :)

what time frames are there? For employees. ..sm - .

For FT 8 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours to produce the necessary daily line count?

What about PT? Is it 4 hours or 8 hours?

Can one ask for a higher time frame?

Let's say 10 hours instead of 8 hours, and 6 hours instead of 4 hours?

I know a company that hires ICs and only requires you ~sm~ - jb

get the work done within turnaround. Lots of work, same dictators, clinic dictation, line rates 7 to 8 cents depending on account you are on. Email if you would like more information.

these guys generally care only about the TAT on accounts. As well, they normally hire you as an IC so it doesn't matter to them when you work or how many lines you do. Just keep TAT.

It's an outrage to have your CPL cut in half with editing but for the company to expeCT scan the same quota (dollar wise per pay period) to maintain benefits is a kick in the teeth. I'm not a newbie to this "career". Now we have to have QUANTITY and QUALITY - no blanks. If you can afford to stay in your desk 10-12 hours a day and watch your life slip by this may be for you. How did we end up letting these companies rip us off l ...

Here I am teetering around the production quota and why?? Because I have to do so much work that is not paid for and is time consuming (entering the ADT info, cc information that is beyond what is in their database) and trying to deciper a lengthy and convoluted CP, plus trying to figure out which, if any, document standard has to be used and finding it in a long list of standards for Ctl S. I had requested that that document format associated standards be put at the top of the list which is e ...

Does our line count quota change if most of our reports are straight typing? For example, the other day, 50%, yes 50% was straight typing!! Does the line count quota change for this, or am I just supposed to type faster, or make it up on another day - hopefully. ...

Just a general question. I'm not asking for and really don't want to start something.....I would just like to know......if you are working for a national company and their line per hour requirement is 260, do you make, or exceed, it? And, if so, do you find it extremely difficult or fairly easy to achieve. This would be on an average evening where you don't run out of work and most of the work comes easy but you still have a few honkers. Thanks! ...

I got a call today from HR at Sten-Tel (Springfield) saying that they were getting ready to make me an offer. (Would consider taking it on only in addition to what I'm already doing due to hearing issues about lack of work.) I was, however, told that having Internet Explorer 8.0 was a problem and that I would need to uninstall this version and downgrade to IE 7.0. I've never heard of this before and was wondering why the newer, more current version of IE would be a problem ...

I'm curious, as this year my line requirement went way up and I was told what is required is "competitive" with what other companies require. I don't believe it is, and I work constantly to meet it.

I have a friend that worked at MD-IT prior to the Command Health buyout. She is still with the MD-IT division (or whatever they call it now), is employee status but is able to work whenever she wants as long as she meets line requirement and doesn't go over 40 hours a week. Is this the way it is across the board for Command Health? I thought I needed an IC job for flexibility, but if I could have that flexibility as an employee that would be great. Thanks for the info. ...

New to Nuance, swallowed up when they acquired my employer at the end of 2013. I see they really expect you to spend a lot of time doing things outside your schedule, training, reading manuals, etc. Other than a flat rate for installing and learning software (20 minutes, actually took twice that), they don't offer to pay for all this extra time. Seems excessive. Has anyone tracked this extra time and filed a complaint with DOL about it? Or tried to clock into W ...
