Guest guest Posted February 14, 2002 Report Share Posted February 14, 2002 The company I work for pays 1 and 1-1/2 times my hourly rate...(which is figured by multiplying my lines times my rate, divided by 40 hours to get my hourly rate and then time and a half based on that. They also have bonuses bases on productivity. > For those of you who work as employees and are paid on production, do you get > paid 1-1/2 times your line rate if you work more than 40 hours per week?

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2002 Report Share Posted February 14, 2002 When I worked as an employee in the past, overtime was calculated by taking my entire weekly line count and getting the hourly average, then paying 1.5 x that average line count for overtime hours. Questin for Employees For those of you who work as employees and are paid on production, do you get paid 1-1/2 times your line rate if you work more than 40 hours per week? If not, is there some other compensation for overtime? Rennie-pop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2002 Report Share Posted February 14, 2002 Most companies require employees to work a specific number of hours, not necessarily a specific number of lines. Of course, they have an expected number of lines per day or week, but employees actually have to work the hours regardless of how many lines they produce. It doesn't matter if they get their expected daily lines within 6 hours, they still have to work 8 (or however many hours are expected). At least, that's been my experience. Furthermore, the only job I ever worked as an employee, we had to email timesheets every pay period showing our hours. Then they would calculate our average lines per hour from that. In fact, they used the average lines to calculate our vacation pay as well as overtime.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2002 Report Share Posted February 14, 2002 It's really not confusing. When you are hired as an employee, you are usually asked if you are able to work 40 hr or 35 hr per week (for example). Then later you are told you are expected to transcribe 1,000 lines per day (for example). You just get used to working your daily hours because that is the requirement. But during the day when you realize you have sent in 1,000 lines, you can say " Hey, I met today's expected lines. I'm doing good. " But you still have to work those hours. The hours are required. The lines are expected but not necessarily required. This is why I prefer IC status. When I reach my line count, I want to be able to stop. Like you said, I guess it's what you get used to.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 If you are paid on production, rather than an hourly rate, how can you be paid overtime if there isn't a weekly line rate that constitutes a full work week? If you are paid on production, then I would think that there would be a quota of what a week consisted of, or, better yet, what a day consisted of by line rate. Over that might be considered for more money but I guess it would depend on what your contract spelled out when you hired in.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 That's very interesting , how confusing to have to work within production and hourly! I guess I'm imagining that they send you so many lines and when you are done, you're done. Since I've never done it that way, it seems confusing but I guess it's all what you work out in the beginning and what you agree to.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 Definitely..it's what you get used to. But, it sounds like, the better and faster you get, you do more lines within your hours, simply because you got done but there's still time left. And that's where it would be great to be paid more for those additional lines. I agree, I don't want to be tied to hours, if I can do 300 lines an hour on one doc and 450 on another, I want the freedom to decide when I'm done and how I'm going to juggle those tapes, even though I don't often have that freedom because I have to get all the tapes done and get the work in by the next delivery day! But, at least I can decide if I work 6 hours one day, and 12 the next or however I want to do it to get the work done and that's why I work at home and IC.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 I think the ice cream part is a good idea.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2002 Report Share Posted February 16, 2002 Hello winniebear@..., In reference to your comment: è I think the ice cream part is a good idea. Unfortunately, I'd have to pass on the ice cream since I've become lactose intolerant in my old age, and I really miss it. Make mine an Italian ice Jan " Typing is my life " (said sarcastically) Remember... WSTPMTR (which means, whoever signs the paycheck makes the rules).

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 ME TOO. I can also decide if I will work two hours, get up and have an ice cream and then go back to work, and maybe work when I can't sleep...just as long as I meet my own contracted 24 hour turn around time. In the year I worked for this doctor only once did I have to ask for an extension, this past week as I was purchasing a car and trying to donate another which has consumed most of my time. Sorry for the run on. Aliceanne On Fri, 15 Feb 2002 00:51:44 -0800 " WinnieBear " writes: > Definitely..it's what you get used to.
