how they calculate your lph rate now? Minimum is 100 clph. I'm wondering b/c since they half the speech lines, this does not seem to be your true accurate LPH. For instance if I type 100 in an hour and do 100 speech in the same hour, do they strictly look at that and say your LPH is 200 OR do they say 100 for regular, only 50 for speech, so your LPH is 150? B/c as you see, the later formula makes it appear as if you actually do less when in fact you don't and that is not accurate. I asked my boss about this and she cannot answer me. I'm trying to get my line count up but when calculating my lines for this past week I ran into the problem of not knowing what THEY will say is my lph.
What if you have 100 regular typed lines in 1 hour, 100 speech lines in this same hour and this 1 hour was done on a weekend so you get an extra 10%. How is it calculated then?! Do you get the extra 10% lines FIRST and then divide by hours worked to get your CLPH or after or what?! I'm so confused and like I said my boss wont answer me. In that example I would say 100 regular lines, 100 speech, 10% for all lines b/c of weekend so an extra 20 lines, makes it 220 divided by 1 hour, is 220 LPH. That would be my TRUE LPH. But do they do 100 regular, 50 speech (100 actually), an extra 10% so an extra 20 lines, totals 170 divided by my 1 hour would be 170CLPH. I think that is so wrong, it is not accurate of what I can actually type. If they calculated it before dividing speech then fine.
