Not good at math... - my2and2dontalwaysequal4

I've tried to do the math to figure exactly how much of an "increase" this is. I'm sure it's chicken feed, but since I keep getting a different answer when I try, I'll never know. I subtracted my old rate from my new rate and got 0.0013. Is this 1/13th of a cent my raise per line? Lordy that cannot be right! I kept doing it over and got different answers, and I don't know how, but math isn't my forte. What does 0.0013 mean? Is i ...

found to be about one and a half to one and three quarters. How to write in numbers?? Thanks. ...

...and I'm wondering about everyone else's situation. If I work diligently and have work available, I can do 300-350 lph in SR, so that's $12-$14 an hour. My hours actually spent engaged in my job, getting ready for my job, getting to my job, getting home from my job, etc. are basically the hours I'm working and the few minutes it takes me to boot up. I have no car (don't need one--spouse and I work the same hours), no uniforms, no lunches out, no conve ...

Just got notified the national audit team did a June audit on me and I failed. I had the incorrect birth date. Stupid me. I am usuallly so careful that what is dictated and what ADT have are in sync. This 1 got by me. Said my audit score was 96.75. If a critical error is 3 points, how can this be? Even 97 would be failing. HMMMM? Guess slow down and triple check everything. Back on the "worry wagon" again. What will happen? ...

Let's say you have 1,000 MTs. If N manages to keep $100 per week per employee due to penalties, that is $100,000 each week that Nuance gets to keep....for nothing. Multiply that by 52, and they get $5,200,000 to keep per year just on platform, QA, QC, LPH. And how many MTs are there? And how much more than $100 are we losing? But heaven forbid they have to increase you by a few dollars to get you up to minimum pay. Check where your total lines are comin ...

I'm unsure if my math is correct, but this is what I got. I average about 300 lines an hour for my 8-hour shift. In order to reach the cap over the 4 days, I would need to type 16,666 lines above my normal line count. That would be 4167 lines extra a day. In my case, at 300 lph, that would be almost 14 more hours I would have to work daily on top of my normal 8. I suppose 1 hour to sleep and 1 hour for eating and potty breaks a day is all I need, right?& ...

Here's my deal...I got a report a couple of days ago that shows my avg LPH for the previous ppd along w/ some other stats. It shows that I edit appx 300 LPH (cut me some slack as I'm fairly new on these auths). If I multiply that by an 8-hr shift and my line rate (0.045 cpl), I keep coming back to about $20 more per day than I'm actually getting. My straight transcription pays about double the VR edit rate, so WTH am I missing.Apologies for being dense, but I rea ...

if my current job is calculating a line at 55 char w/spaces and a prospective job calculates a line at 65 char w/spaces -- I am so dumb with math anymore -- what would be the equation I'd use for figuring LPH that I might make in an hour on new job? thanks!! ...

Many posts on this convoluted mess called a compensation plan. Here are my positives: 1) I don't have to notify payroll if they posted more lines than I should have gotten. I have no clue how many compensated lines I should be given. 2) I don't have to notify payroll if they overpaid me. I will never know. 3) I will know where all the food banks are and every other means of help with utilities, etc. Now, here's my negative after doing the actual math: 1) I am losing $350 per ...

I just received my March report, graded at 99.3% and the accepted standard is 99.6%. There were 5 audited reports - 3 @ 100%, 1 @ 99.75% and 1 @ 99.3% which was the last one. My March report said I averaged 99.3% and need to improve quality, proofread, ADT screen, dates, labs and so on. Problem is, one missed comma gave me the 99.3% score. Yes, one comma in that report, nothing else was noted. Just doing simple math to come up with an average score for my audited reports (5) is 99.81% surpass ...

I was consistently going over the metrics for blanks being submitted to the client and decided to keep track of why I was sending those blanks. It turns out that 77% of my blanks are due to either discrepancy or audio issues; blanks that I am positive nobody could fill in. 77%! These metrics either need to be done away with or adjusted for doctors that don't take the time to not be idiots. The most common discrepancy is incorrect age or something else that I can fill ...

If I am part time at a company that pays 3 cpl and I do 1000 lines a day - that is only $30 before taxes? I must be doing something wrong here mathwise. ...

What in the heck does .05 for every 43 black characters equal out to. It doesn't sound good but I'm no math whiz. Maybe, I'm missing something and who pays like that. What happened to X-amount of cpl based on a 65-character line..or even a gross line. I suspect it's a sneaky way to screw you but I could be wrong. ...

Okay, so today if I did 1320 lines and sent 93 lines to QA, which was only 2 reports all day. Wow it adds up fast! This is more than 5% for today (not sure exactly what % but I'm sure it's over 5%). I'm pretty sure this is an average day. So, I'm still confused about how much we get docked.....will I get paid 3 cents less a line for EVERY line starting when I first go over 5% in any given week, which will be the FIRST day? Will it be on EVERY lin ...

have you REALLY lost, say over 20 years? ...

search for the cpi calculator. Type in what you originally started making when you first worked for Q converted to dollars - like I started at 6 cpl, so I type in 6.00. then type in the year and calculate. Mine comes up a little over 9.00. converting that to cents, I should be making a little over 9 cpl -- that amount has the same "buying power" as 6 cpl did when I started. But actually I'm making a little over 7 1/2 cpl -- This works out to that I now have about 80-some percent ...

In any case, I've been ignoring it. You can double check your pay by taking the amount of money in the Current column and dividing that by the number of lines in the Piece Units column. It may be a little bit more if you work nights and get the shift differential as it seems that they add that on. It would be nice if they would show that in a seperate row like they did before Ultipro ...

On reading the posts below, if an MT makes 8 cpl and pay is cut down to 6.5 cpl, that is an approximately 20% pay cut. Then, going from a 65-character line with spaces to VBC (a 65-character line without spaces), that is an approximately 30% pay cut. So, 20% plus 30% equals an overall 50% pay cut. Can that possibly be correct? ...

and maybe 20% equals over 50%. I hope my landlord understands this new math when I say that this is all my rent money and it is only half. ...

If I understand this right, the calculation is $75 per audio hour - that means for every 60 minutes of dictation, the scribe is paid $75. If it takes one hour to complete the job, you make $75 per hour Two hours, $37.50 per hour. Three hours, $25 per hour. Four hours $18.75 per hour. What am I missing? It typically takes at least three hours to transcribe one hour of dictation (audio). If there is heavy formatting, difficult audio, etc., you can expect it to take longer. U ...

that is wide enough for a wrist rest. This needs to be in my bedroom so cant be too huge. I like the tower off the floor also. Thanks. ...

Rarely do I start discussion on mtstars - however, 2014 was a particularly challenging year for myself - an experienced MT/Editor (15+ years). However, I realize that many other MTs may be in the same position, i.e., having many years devoted to working at the Big MTSOs including â��the M,â�� and â��the Nâ�� and (now to be included) â��the Tâ�� following close behind in total numbers of MT/Editors on staff. (Hint: Sure most of you know the M, the N and the T - and the names have been int ...

I have expierence with QA, although have never been paid production for it. I do enjoy QA more. Does anyone have expierence at All Type in QA? Are they reliable?? Do they pay well? I currently make about 32000/year and need more. Would this be doable? TIA!! ...

experience with this company. Sounds like they suck up our accounts and then pay us less than pennies to clean up the trash. ...

Well Good Friday to me. I left Spheris. It is indeed the best Friday for me in a very long time. I've had it with their lousy platform, Mafia QA (they try their best to kill your spirit), mandatory this, mandatory that, do this, don't do that, change this, don't change that; no, don't change this, don't change that, and on and on and on, and now their bankruptcy. No PTO for the next 4 months to keep the clients satisfied during ...

I so look forward to these last 5 years going by fast: Going back to college to get a degree and walking away from MT never looking back. If it wasnt for paying for my schooling, I'd be out of this by now. If things get too bad I'd consider cutting lunch meat, stocking shelves at the neighborhood grocery store, whatever. The only up side to my 10+ years of doing MT work has been able to stay home for my kids and making pocket change.&nb ...

I am thinking you mean 0.08 cents, - see message

0.052 cents per line - If my math is correct

That is what I came up with-- - typetypetypeaway

$800 so I'm thinking you have some wrong - numbers somewhere

Nothing wrong with Original Posters numbers; you might want to read it again - per 1000 NOT per each

my bad now I know why I do MT and - not math
