I’ve been a medical transcriptionist for seven years, but the director I had in the past wasn’t very structured. She left and our new boss is setting line counts we have to hit or we don’t get paid for a full eight hours when we work from home and this seems only fair, but I’m just wondering if the standard she has set is fair. Thanks for your help.

See setting up standards for daily line count is ok to go with. I used to transcribe around 1000 lines per day in an 8 hour shift. Standards improve quality of work. I would say, see what target is being set for the day and is it achievable?Since you have a good experience of seven years, you must be able to transcribe even more lines.
Hence I would say in intial stages, see and set the target which is achievable and then let it go up with due course of time.
