Can someone explain the productivity graph to me - gross versus net


Posted: May 07, 2013

The blue is gross, the red is net, but what does that mean? Are the lines supposed to touch, is one supposed to be over the other, what if they are super far apart, or right on top of eachother? How can I go from under 200 lph one day to over 350 lph the next? Are we supposed to run on an even plane or is up and down and all over the way to go?

 

I am so confused.

Net is what you make. Gross is what you get after taxes. - Is this what you mean? nm

No. On the graph for Lines Per Hour. - Not pay

You have that backwards. - mtmt

Gross is what you make before taxes and net is after taxes. By the way, I don̢۪t pay attention to any of that on Fluency if that is what the OP is talking about.

It means nothing anyway... - me

When I divide my total lines by hours worked it comes no where near what that graph shows, so I really don't see any point to it.
Correct. Pay for LPH goes by time clock and total lines - Graph is useless. NM

From what I can figure - me

I think they want the lines to be close together, at least in terms of inactive time. If I have more inactive time, the lines are further apart. I think the LPH are only calculated for the time you are in Fluency, not time clocked in Teamwork. Agree with above posters, doesn't really matter, just do what you do.

Anyone Else Notice Their Productivity Graph
Nov 23, 2013

When the graph first was introduced I was able to keep it pretty high.  However, for the past week or so, working just as hard, of not harder, I'm about 50 to 100 less than I used to be.  If this is happening to others, do you think that they showed us what we can do at first and now with the last maintenance have artificially made it look lower so that they can psychologically trick us to work harder?  My conspiracy theory for the day. ...

If You Put It On A Graph, MT Jobs Go Up And Down But
May 17, 2015

Over the past years, MT has had its ups and downs. The problem is, the downs go down more than the ups go up.  Occasionally an MT will see an increase in pay, but then the TAT, quotas, accounts she is given, etc., take that pay increase away plus. I understand that MT is still a good career if someone doesn't care about making very much money, but the graph is definitely trending DOWN. ...

If an account has been offshore for almost 1 year and is being transcribed by an offshore MT and qa'd by 2 separate offshore qa and then 1 American qa.......where are they actually saving money? How long does the Q need to pay 4+ (the person who audits them too) to do 1 report before they realize their American MTs could get it done in 1 shot and maybe 2 on occasion? TATs are out because of this and there are so many NJA issues spoken of on this site too, WAKE UP Q! ...

Okay, so if you go below mininum wage, the company has to "pay extra" to bring your paycheck up to minimum wage, because BY LAW they have to pay at least minimum wage. But somehow, when they decide to ONLY pay us for "active typing" "hands on keyboard" and NOT for our research (verification of correct terminology, spelling of names, etc) and our documenation (of errors, questions, blanks)...aren't we entitled to have THAT time spent "made up to us," to bring us up to a FAIR PAYCHECK?

I just don't get it.  When they started doing these productivity checks, I was at aan "inactive time" of a whopping 40% . . . or so they said.  I have steadily improved it every week and have dropped it down to 18, then 15, then 9, 9 and again 9.  However, my pay hasn't changed.  Doesn't that seem extremely odd?  Are we being cheated? ...
