Line rate for 65 printable character line - curiousMT
Posted: Jul 19, 2011
When a company states a line rate for a "65 printable character line" does that mean they do not pay for spaces? I saw an ad saying they pay the highest in the business, which was about 8.5 cents for 65 printable character line. That to me says without spaces, as it is not a printable character, so that would be a horrible rate surely not one of the best in the business. Wonder why there is no respect for our thumbs !!!!
I hope you're right, because with spaces it's just mediocre. Without spaces, - it is crappola. nm

Re: Stupid Question - AnonyMouse
[ In Reply To ..]I highly suspect "65 printable character line" is VBC, in other words, if there is not something black to "print" you aren't paid for that....just a hunch though. You would really need to ask the company advertising that about it.
Sounds like VBC - oaf
[ In Reply To ..]I've noticed they are all trying to word it without actually saying it! 8.5 for 65 VBC is as nm said crappola! They are all trying to do this now. Soweshouldtypeourreportslikethis! I'm being REALLY SARCASTIC ON THIS ONE.

Anyone know if 5 cents per gross line is good or not? Better than 10 cents a 65 character line??

PT Line Rate Cut
Nov 25, 2009
I know a lot of us wonder what the reason is for PT status MTs to lose 1/2 cpl. We have been told that it is because at some point we could possibly switch to FT. If our bank, where we have our checking and savings accounts would send us a letter telling us that starting next month we would have to start paying $200 per month for our house payment, even though we do not own a house, but this was just in case some day we might, I think we would all tell that bank they were nuts ...

ASR Line Rate?
Feb 04, 2012
I was told that if they have to keep supplementing your paychecks to get you to mini wage then they will have to take action. What is the logic here? On the accounts that I work on I have yet to break 160 lines an hour and mostly stay around 150. I swear it just can't be done. All I get is ASR.... so here is the math... 150X.04 (I think) = $6.40 The requirement to keep my job is only 120, so really I am doing 40 more lines than I should. Here is what I need to ...

I'm curious if anyone has insisted on more. Also interested in what you think of the platform used for oncology. Thanks for any info! ...
