LPH minimum. Be sure to keep track of all those - 15 minutes of waiting for
Posted: Jul 16, 2013
a job to upload. All those add up and if you don't clock out for them it will go against your LPH and make a difference in your assessments.
you on 56k or what? - anon

something must really be wrong with your connection or computer if it takes more than a few seconds to upload a job... even the 40minute jobs / 7-8 pages should take no more than a few seconds...
I'm commenting regarding the 15 mins we are - being asked to wait for

a job to be pooled before clocking out and checking back in an hour in OOW situations. Not how long a job actually takes to download.
Just something to keep in mind, even if you think you are being anonymous on here, there is always the chance that your post can be tracked back to you...and if it is, MQ could always make your work life a living h___. ...
The sacral decubitus ulcer was then marked with a marking pen and an elliptical excision was made with a scalpel so as to completely excise the ulcer itself and the *tract/track* which was extending several centimeters proximally. ...
Yet again, I am on track to make less this year than apparently when I was a teenager working at a burger joint.
I work 40 hours, never call in sick (before anybody starts flaming). So depressing. ...
Is there such a thing available that keeps track of "at the keyboard" typing time? I am one that gets up and down frequently throughout my work day and its hard to keep track of exactly how many actual hours I am typing. I want something automatic that I don't have to remember to click on/off because if I could remember to do that, I could remember to write it down :) Anyone know of something like this? ...
CTA of the pelvis demonstrates no evidence of any arterial aneurysm or AV fistula. There was abnormal "track" extending through the right gluteus maximus muscle with marked induration of the subcutaneous tissue of the right buttock area.
(CTA performed before heterotopic ossification sugery. Past history of gunshot to buttocks, with bullet fragments overlying the left hemipelvis on hip x-ray.) ...
I work in Escription 9.20 (90% VR). If I am told I have an average work time of 6.9 hours in Escription, does anyone know exactly how they are tracking to get that figure? ...
I recently quit my hospital MT job and started working for a mid sized MTSO. This was a big change for me, different platforms, different rules, different type of accounts. I have 4 accounts with this job, all with their own little rules and formats and things. On top of that I recently was hired and quit with another large MTSO for weekend work (didn't like the QA or managers; I was constantly being forgotten). Anyway, I quit them after 2 weeks and was just hired as an IC for small MTSO an ...
Of course this is personal but since we can be anonymous on her, would anyone share what they are making in terms of weekly, hourly, monthly or yearly with me? I would like to compare with where I am and determine if I am at a good average or way below and need to be doing more.
I would also love it if you could share production lines per hour or day etc. ...
Rarely are they taking 1/2 the time of straight typing. The majority are taking at least as long as it would to straight type and some more time. This is all due to the number of corrections and punctation and formatting I have to do!
...
Would the correct phrase be suture tract or suture track?
Getting mixed results trying to reference this. Just want some professional opinions. Thoughts?
Thanks! ...
I asked this question already on the company board, but I ask it also on this board:
What do companies do if an MT turns in 98% accurate work, or above, but does not transcribe the minimum lines per day, as an employee?
Does this MT always get fired, or how do companies handle this?
TIA ...
I'm worried if I suffer another .03 cent decrease I may drop below minimum wage. How do we indicate that to somebody? Is it calculated per pay period - or what? ...
I've worked for MQ before, just before CBay bought MQ, but I can't remember (and maybe it's changed) what is the minimum number of hours or lines required per week? I thought it was something like 2000 lines per week. Is the minimum per hour still 100 lph for PT?
Also, what's the pay rate for VR now? I think it was still 70% when I left. Is it 50% or 60% of your regular line rate?
I'm just looking for something very part-time, like 10 hours ...
Massachusetts may well pass a minimum wage of $11 (over 3 years). It's passed the state senate. Parts of WA (Seatac) actually have a $15 minimum wage. Wonder what Nuance will do about MUP now, since so many in those states will be getting it. Could get interesting. ...
Okay, so I read by 2015, DC wants minimum wage to be $11.50 an hour. I'm assuming by that time Nuance will make our minimum line count reflect this increase - approximately 280 lph, especially since WE NEVER GET A RAISE. ...
My primary account is a straight typing account. I can't consistently make the minimum line count of 150 lph in our 8 hours. I use my shorthand and as many normals as i can, but I'm making no money. How is everyone doing this? Plus for VR it's only 180 lph. Seems like actually typing the lph should be lower. Someone please tell me how to get enough lines in!! Would quit in a heartbeat if I could, but a little pay is better than no pay, though I am still looking.
...
Bottom line is, regardless of the new pay rules, it's hard to even make above minimum wage before or after the new rules. So at least federal law guarantees minimum wage. Beyond that, my goal is to get out of this field and leave this MTSO company ASAP, though it won't happen overnight. ...
