Pay without spaces is...? - ddll


Posted: Jan 10, 2011

If a position offers pay without spaces, would that pretty much cut pay in half when compared to pay with spaces?

Not necessarily as what they consider a line (sm) - OTE

Might be smaller than the standard of 65 characters. Usually (and rarely) those who do not pay for spaces normally based it on a 55 character line, which equates to about 5 cents less per report that are based on 65 characters. I have never done the math for lines based on 60 characters.

nope - mt

17-20%

Its all relative. - Ayn

You have to do the math. It still depends on what they pay per line and how many characters per line.

I am paid for a 65-character line with no spaces, but paid 11 cpl -- roughly equal to 9 cpl for a 65-character line with spaces.

I have figured this out. Pay without spaces (with the MS WORD line counter) is 18% LESS than with spaces.

Thank you! I don't know what.... - ddll

I was thinking when I thought it would be about 50% less. That does not even make sense! Thank you for the calculation though, that is very helpful.

crap...that's what it is when it's offered at 8cpl/65 - crap - crapswhatitis
