Ha...no line count on my paycheck for the last 80+ hours...s/m - ANONYMOUS

Posted: Aug 06, 2014

I worked. My paycheck is for less than $20. Anyone ever have this happen to them? I approved my timesheet on Sunday. I've kept track of my lines daily.

This just makes me sick.

Anyone else ever have this happen to them? I've emailed HR and boss; I'd call but we only have one cell phone and husband has it until 3 today.

Sigh.

Even better, since I didn't make enough to cover my insurance premium, they didn't take that out! omg. I have no idea what I'm going to do.

I wonder if one of these psych docs I type for will see me since I'm freakin' on the edge.

It's fixed, somewhat quickly. They sent me my paycheck stub, and I sent them what I'm seeing on UltiPro, which is a bunch of

I did thank the HR person and told them at least I could eat on Friday! /not sarcasm/

wow - sm

First off, can you go into the system and pull your line counts from fluency? just to prove you did them.. Print your stuff out and have it on hand. I know it is a pain, but I am pretty sure it is an oversight of some kind, I really do..I used to work for a company not mentioning the name, that always seemed to be changing banks and checks were late..I have never had that problem here. Skimming lines in the past yes, but outright not paying, never

Yeah, I would've done that, pulled my lines... - ANONYMOUS

because I knew they were there from the issues I had in the past couple weeks trying to listen to audio. lol

Why am I surprised by this, though?

HR lady said there were TWO paycheck stubs, I must be only viewing ONE. I scrolled up and down, looked for a page 2 to click, nothing, which is why I sent the one page I was seeing.

argh!

Maybe they were going to pay you - the rate they pay

the offshore MTs. Sounds like the right amount. It was just wishful thinking on their part.

Isn't Wednesday the day you can check in UltiPro? - ANONYMOUS

I've always checked relatively late in the morning on Wednesdays of pay week and never had this issue.

Plus, the paltry amount on what I was seeing is /not/ on the report I was sent...odd!

Yes you can check - I just did

While pathetically low, it was correct.

I can't even get into Ultipro - L&L

and my TSM in fixing an error on my time sheet shorted me 3 hrs so I did not meet the minimum hours. I'm probably history.

no line count paycheck - phatty

Seriously, $20.00. Why didn't payroll alert your supervisor or somebody. Thata's insane.

finally found out what happened -sm- - ANONYMOUS

i had a very minimal amount of OT. They forgot to put it on my first paycheck so they cut me a second paycheck. Here's the kicker: If they write more than one check for you during the pay period and you go into Ultipro to check the piddly amount you will receive, you'll see the most current check they wrote. in my case i saw the 2nd check. no mention that it was check #2 or that there was a 1st check. you have to go into pay history to see any checks written before the one that automatically comes up.

Srsly, if they have to cut, say, 3 checks, why can't there be something that says oh, btw, this is check 3 of 3, or something like that.

Instead of causing me mental anguish, which I'm beginning to think is the grounds on which I'm going to sue this POS company.

Go figure. Cannot get any line count for today. Also, to get into DocQmanage, it has a window that pops up and asking to get into your sites. I wonder if it has anything to do with the email about the ethic reporting by third party? Medquist stated they have installed a new phone "AND" and Internet-based reporting system, which will be managed by EthicsPoint, a third-party provider of ethics-based reporting programs. I bet the company is trying to see what sites y ...

I was just hired on with a company to do strictly VR. I am only going to be working part time so about 4 hours a day. I am wondering from those who do VR what kind of line production should I shoot for in 4 hours of work? What is the normal VR line count for part time? I have read that most who are working full time or 8 hours a day are doing more than 1,000, even 2,000 a day. The company I will be working for wants a minimum of 10,000 lines in a payperiod which the lady said even with part time ...

Is this correct? I type 70,000 characters a day. I am paid by the 65 character line so I would divide 70,000 by 65 to get 1076, then multiple that by pay per line, say $.10 and get $107. If this is not correct then what is the formula? And what is the average number of lines per day? Thanks so much for the info. ...

I have been working for this company for about 18 month and so far so good. It was even bought out by a bigger company and everything stayed the same with no problems. They don't bother me, I do my work and everything is fine. About 6 months ago my line count started going way down and I really just chalked it up to not being able to concentrate as much because my baby started walking and basically making it impossible for me to work. For the past week my line count has about doubled. ...

I have been told that I need to increase my LPH. So last night I kept track of the lines of each document done by using MS Word. But later when I compared it to Nuance's line tracker (ichart) it only listed half the lines that MS Word listed. How can this be? I realized that Word my count blank lines, but how can there possibly be that much difference? I felt like I really kicked butt last night, but then to look at LPH with Nuance's ichart I felt cheated/ ...

Is it typical to only receive a percentage of your edited lines because "editing is faster and better" than straight transcription? I am new to VR, but this seems odd to me.
